To round off 2021, we are launching a new series of released titled ‘Risky Business’ which, as an echo to our sister label Riddims Supplies, will showcase a broad selection of hybrid dancehall riddims.

For this first volume, we’re inviting 5 outside producers as well as one of our own :

We’re kicking things off with british producer EYRA, currently living in Barcelona, who was featured on the first Accidental Meetings compilation release just a year ago. 

Realitycheck is also another newcomer to the label, following a stroke of impeccable releases, notably on Global Warming et Electroménager. 

As for Egregore, it is Stacktrace who represents the team, with a dubby track in line with his banger ‘Wicked Sitar’, and his latest productions for ‘Délices du midi’, a new series launched by Kaval.

Then comes Noods Radio resident MISH, recently seen and heard on Bristol’s Pressure Dome.

To complete this roster, we have two Toulouse-based producers. First the mysterious Maquis Son Sistèm, member of Folklore crew with a serious taste for collective transe and chamanic riddims. 

At last, the EP closes on a track by Knurx, already present on our charity compilation in support of  DAL31 and also author of a riddim for the 'Délices du Midi'

The sounds across these four tracks were made by SIM and NAP from 2021 to 2023 with lots of love and bass... the sessions started from the first time they met at NAP's studio, point always to kick it, jam and see what happens. After a couple months of that of course a sound develops, a process shines and a friendship grows. After a year or so trust built and a language made present. Transcending the spoken word and feeling unique to both...things start to really go off and the jams turn to songs. Two years pass and it’s time to celebrate with the marker and archive of all those deep sessions, now in edited form to be shared with all. And yeah, you can have all in common with someone when it comes to digging wubs, riddims and drum machines but add vulnerable earnest meetings with meals in between and good conversation about things other than music (or maybe how other things relate to it) and then you get something really special, something like SINNAZ. SIM and NAP journeying into collaboration with a debut EP of rhythmic noise, driving bog beats, swampy dembows, radioactive Dancehall and unhinged experimentalia.

‘Orange Slices’ coming from Everett marks the northern artist’s first-ever solo release linking up with Manchester-based label and party series Left, Right & Centre for the second time.

The five-track presentation of sound sees four original cuts sit aside a heavyweight remix from Bristol’s Bruce, for a late summer/early autumn smash hit release, leaning towards a wonky techno sound, purpose-built for peak time club night ferocity.

Everett has made his name slowly but surely as a cornerstone for quality in Manchester’s electronic underbelly, whether that be through his meticulous DJ sets, his radio presence throughout the years or his association with the inimitable The White Hotel.

Now permitted to spread his wings across the five-tracker, Everett’s time spent between the quiet recesses of Mancunian dances and honing his sound with deadly precision pays dividends. His attention to detail and ear for quality shines through on ‘Orange Slices’. Touching across the producer’s broad and deft tastes, the productions are a celebration of Everett’s infatuation with half-time DnB, slow-burning Techno and the newfangled styles of Ploy et al. Glitchy drums and unpredictably poised percussion cement Everett as one of Manchester’s most deadly and disruptive music makers you’ve never heard of.

Left, Right & Centre touch base with double figures on this EP with now 10 releases under their belt and a link up with Hessle Audio associate Bruce for the first time on a release, the label consistently focuses on a UK sound that places momentous raw energy at its core through their collaborative efforts in and outside the club and the city of Manchester.

On ACEN058, label boss DJ Pitch teams up with Berlin-based artist MLE to put together an EP of energetic, stripped-down dancefloor cuts. MLE, Rhythm Section affiliate and Refuge Worldwide resident, presents her first released productions; DJ Pitch puts out his first offerings on the label since 2022’s Scared.

First up on the record is the energetic Proto Windmill. Kicking off in a relentlessly jacking house groove, a blissful sample gently enters the fray. A lively vocal sample, reminiscent of UK funky MCs, encourages the dancers whilst MLE and Pitch masterfully switch between dreamy strings and punchy percussive sections.

Next up is Drum Trak 101. Playful, satisfyingly off-kilter drums set the pace, punctuated by oddball vocal samples and rallying whistles. Whilst the percussion gets a thorough workout, this drum track has an emotional edge to it, with soaring strings and a bouncy, uplifting chord progression.

Wicked Cool Mega Safe ramps things up into a high-intensity groove. Whilst stripping things down to percussive basics, the track remains endlessly compelling, with a forceful four-to-the-floor clap pattern surrounded by ecstatic snare rolls, percussive grunts and syncopated tom hits.

Closing the record in fine style is Post Club Post Step. An acidic synth line rolls underneath rigid four-to-the-flour drums, whilst a bouncy sub bass jumps between the beats. A dubbed-out vocal sample brings an air of urgency to the track, introducing an earworm synth melody that runs above the track’s energetic tech house groove.

Info: EtherwerkZ is back with "Ascension Vol. 2", the leftfield-infused second volume of their VA series, once again serving up high vibrational frequencies to create that transcendental dance floor experience.
Xen Chron returns to the label with his Xenology-influenced style, sounding something like a 2-stepish take on Autechre remixing a track by Stinson's legendary Transllusion project,vperfectly exemplifying his USA - UK relation and connection.

'Rolling Empires' is the first track off of my next EP 'Explorations In Music For Dancing: Volume 1'. Out on 4th September.

To aid me in my research, I recruited his fellow scientist and collaborator, Caitlin Mcloughlin, who has developed the visual identity for the EP. Frustrated by the restricting formats of a digital download, Caitlin’s visual output extends far beyond the square format cover art. A mock typeface and specimen are both available as a free download with the EP.

Designed by Caitlin, the typeface was first moulded out of plasticine, reflecting the playful nature of the project, whilst the specimen acts as a space to document their process and explore the influences and building blocks for the series.
