weird and wonky

Aqua Mania

Tripped-out, leisurely house and breaks comprises the next drop on Haŵs, and for the established Welsh imprint, number 13 is far from unlucky – in fact, it’s coming in as ecstatic. Perth producer Guy Contact takes the reigns for ‘Euphoria Simulator’, a 6-track EP radiating with all the charm and optimism of a liberated future.

Opening the first of four house tracks, ‘Into The Blue’ makes light work of bass melodies and fresh kicks, bouncing skywards as though emerging from a thinning fog into a clear day. ‘Nice 2 B Free’ is imbued with touches of sentimentality, pouring outwards like the laissez-faire movements of a serene dancer entwined within a group of friends. The eccentric ‘Whip Crack Cowboy’ takes the camaraderie of country twang into a colourful new world, mediating psychedelic guitar strings into harmony with synths and a cathartic house beat.

On the B-side, the titular ‘Euphoria Simulator’ doubles down on the bass but keeps its overall ride light and airy, dipping between piano, synths and rhythms warm enough to breathe emotion into a cold room. The final two tracks untether from their house confines: ‘Amphibian Pool’ dubs down into a hypnotic, marine-level drift, elongating croaky basslines alongside punchy breaks and acid lines during its descent. Finally, ‘Subaquatic Jungle’ hits the ocean floor, discovering an enigmatic world alive with a fauna of percussion and distortions that slope through dense, bassy undercurrents.

For anyone looking to impart a kaleidoscope of blissful feelings onto dancefloors, ‘Euphoria Simulator’ sits patiently ready to heighten the senses.

Premiere: Boulderhead - Polynomial Camouflage

[metadata_records] is an imprint for Dark Arps. In this debut EP, Jon returns to his formative nuskool breaks influences with three groove-laden chin-strokers: 'Broken Promise', 'Grow Op' and 'Plead’. Expect rubbery bass, percussive boom-bap, and cheeky melodic interjections as we romp through these three electro-charged funkhausers. The title track ‘Broken Promise’ hits you with the one- two chord stabs right off the bat and just doesn’t stop. ‘Grow Op’ is low-rolling with that Seinfeld slap, and ‘Plead’ takes us on a perilous journey through pretentious bassline progressions... buckle up!

PREMIERE: Dark Arps - Broken Promise [metadata_records]

After successfully running a mix and party series, Unrestricted Purpose launches their label with a V/A charity compilation; full of dancefloor heaters, there's more than enough here to get you moving!
All proceeds will be going towards Naarm based collective 'Pay the Rent'. 

The compilation will be available for purchase via Bandcamp on the 1st of October, 2021.
https://unrestrictedpurpose.bandcamp.com/album/unrestricted-purpose-charity-compilation

More information about Pay the Rent below: 
The land on which we live, work, and play was stolen from indigenous peoples, and sold by non-indigenous people for profit which has been disproportionately distributed for generations. So it is time to put an end to this and pay the rent that we owe. 
All proceeds will be heading to pay The Rent. A collective based on the lands of the Kulin nation here in Victoria, Australia. It is made up of both indigenous and non-indigenous peoples and is about honouring the sovereignty of Indigenous peoples by distributing rent to local Aboriginal groups at a grassroots level. Where it can be allocated by indigenous peoples, to indigenous peoples for anything from health services, education, arts and culture, housing, legal costs, and more. 
“Paying the Rent is a step towards acknowledging these facts. It is part of a process that all non-indigenous people - individually and collectively - need to enter into if we are to move towards justice, truth, equality and liberation for First Nations people.” 
For more information on Pay the Rent and the work that they do, please check out their website below.

[Premiere] al dente - particle

In @in2stellar's remix of "Shaped Curve" they hone in on the vocal hooks of the original left-field pop meets emotional drum and bass track, turning them into trance hooks underpinned by a left-field techno and electro drum groove. The outcome is an exciting and full of life track that feels perfect for daytime and basking in the sun this coming Summer.

"We love Rita and her music, so we were super keen to do a remix for her. This one's designed for the dance floor."

Something felt off, she couldn't put her finger on exactly what but it were as though she were detached from herself - her body merely a vessel for her mind to exist. She floated through her house, drifted through her office, hovered over the streets like a ghostly spirit that had left this planet long ago. What could bring her back to solid ground and connect her with her body once more? Or would her spirit wander for eternity?

Bitterfeld returns! The Leipzig-based label, affiliated with R.A.N.D Muzik Recordings, is dropping back down to earth with a brand new sampler and a fresh line up in attendance. The first edition of FOR A BITTER TOMORROW came all the way back in 2019 before the world got turned on its head and featured sonic nourishment from Guy Contact, label boss Carmel, Consulate and Bitterfeld regular Interviews. It's the latter who returns for 'Band 2', joined by fresh faces Salomo, Qwerty and Jónbjörn who explore the expanses of techno, braindance and electro.

PREMIERE: Salomo - Body Talk [Bitterfeld]

Elsa - Slump

For the first Klasse Wrecks release of 2024, the label looks back to 2020 and a previously digital only track from label co-owner Mr. Ho. During the first lockdown of covid Mr. Ho released '000Baby' as part of the digital 'Homeboys' EP alongside Luca Lozano. An alternative version popped up on the 'Michaelsoft' album in 2021 but the much lauded original has never seen the light of day on wax....until now. The first 10inch on Klasse Wrecks also features a suped and sped up interpretation from Om Unit, who expertly increases the pressure with deft 808 bass subs, a half time swagger and dubbed out atmospherics.
