Years have passed. 
Several lifeforms digested and built symbiosis relationship with the Freefloat.

Landscape have changed.
Through adaptation and mutation, the life-swarm erased the scars at the surface of the Earth.

Climax has been reached.

Eternal love to the artists who accepted and took part in this adventure. 
Aa Sudd, BZMC, Glass, Jan Loup, Jonnnah, Jonquera, Katatonic Silentio, Myako, Plants Army Revolver, Space Drums Meditation, Varuna, Yushh.
They broadened the stylistic borders of the initial material and pushed further the ideas and what we expected for Freefloat to be.

WORSTLTD002 - C. Coiffure - Freefloat Remixes (previews)

62*2: Ice crystals decorate the well-worn machines. There's a positive buzz in the air, as construction on the purple plane is progressing smoothly. I'm still getting used to my new form, but I feel like I can be of help.

Tonto - Moa [CB07]

A deep-diving sonic essay swinging the pendulum betwixt wiry dub, UK bass fragmentation and dembow-derived mutations, the third volley from Worship comes courtesy of French producer, Eszaid, whose name shall ring a bell to lovers of L.I.E.S. and Collapsing Market. Beaming raucous signals from deep down throbbing subaquatic rifts, "Indraic Cut" gets the ball rolling on an eerie, downtempo dub tip, setting the focus on an intricately woven web of menacing reverbs, spooky melody and convulsive drumwork. A zombie-like dancehall and jungle hybrid running the gamut from robot-operated Caribbean skank to reconfigured bursts of Source Direct-style percussive rage, "Zmej" is a master exercise in style when it comes to shifting from full shot to exploded view in a flash, sure to get that dizzy-high sensation flowing across the room.

Steel-clad and ominous, "Ophis Dub" implements its own smouldering, gunpowder-scented electronic grammar, like the untamed brainchild to Deep Medi, Autechre and Basic Channel. Flush with textures and envelopes to wrap your ears around, Eszaid's music treats us to a proper DnB-adjacent brainwash but in its own idiosyncratically, threateningly future-proof way. The fast-changing "Chained" abseils further deep into uncharted reverb-drenched territories, this time laying further emphasis on the mutative nature of drums themselves and the abstract-leaning FX he coats them under, eventually hatching in a Rubber Johnny-esque whirlwind of sonic assault. "Kronstadt" rounds off the journey on a slo-combusting junglistic note, moving upstream towards a Metalheadz heyday kind of headspace with its processed drums lashing and gigantic bass ripples tsunami-ing down the ravers' spines to effervescing effect.

Dreams, an artist known for his label & event series Private Selection, is set to release his first record since 2020 on a new label he founded this year, called Dance Data. 

The B side, 'Vessel', marks one of his first releases at this velocity - each groove feels hypnotic and gives weight into the next moment. A blistering saw bassline tightly sits on top of live recordings of brazilian percussion – and the dark and tribal energy fits the A-side as a perfectly paired, yet still unanticipated counterpart. As his first offering since a 2020 hiatus, it is refreshing to see Dreams pulling from his roots with 'Paraxotica' while also coming in with a more organic approach as is heard on 'Vessel'.

Pre-orders for the 12" vinyl are available now, which come with a custom hand made insert.
Vinyl release date: Feb 2023

The A side can be heard in full on Dance Data's bandcamp

pi pi pi premiere: Dreams - Vessel (Dance Data)

At last, what do we know about time? An essential indicator of our lives, counted in seconds, officially codified worldwide via the international System of Units. Always running forward, never coming back. An implacable, invisible, impalpable truth, haunting each one of us, as we all expect it to ring the bell sooner or later. 

Hey, here’s a theory: couldn’t we distort it sometimes, even just a tiny bit? Because Lyon-based label SousTraitance may have managed to finally alter its course through its last compilation, a year and a half after the inaugural one.
“Looking for MTH” V/A successively stretches and contracts the passing time, or at least how we perceive it. Lose yourself in tempo fluctuations and audio glitches, between the slow, entrancing rites of Jan Loup, Israfil and Sabla, the atmospheric dilatations of Isabassi, Marion Castor and Inhmost, or the high-paced, feverish, raging outbursts of Tera Octe, Loïcc and Tadan.

To be released in limited-edition CD and digital on January 25, 2023: 9 tracks over one hour, that could actually go round the clock or vanish in the blink of an eye, we just can’t tell anymore.
