Hey pals! 

It's Dima's 'RUNE' birthday today, and the best gift we can give you is the new Outcast from our dear music friend — EVL TOM @evl_tom Over several years of knowing him personally, Tom has proven himself to be a deep and versatile person, especially when it comes to music. We sincerely admire his deep approach and understanding of styles and are happy to share this two-hour mix with all of you!

To confirm these words, here is a first-hand quote from Tom:

"Hello, friends! I was super happy to be asked to do this mix, as the Ukrainian scene and its people are very dear to my heart. Dima asked me for a mix to represent my take on the breakbeat sound as we enter into this new year. I've always felt that breaks can be a versatile and wide-reaching genre, and I’ve tried to explore some of that in this mix.

There are organic, percussive tracks, florida acid, electro and techno ingredients, some reggae, grime, and hip-hop elements, deep rollers, melancholic, melodic bangers, shroomy mind expanders, and plenty of rib cage rattling bass. Just the breakbeat that I love, basically. A few old ones in there but plenty of the new including my new single “Eternal Lids” which is the third single off my upcoming album, “Absolute Melt” which drops on March 1st on OUT YER BOX @out-yer-box. Also, couldn’t resist including a little edit at the end that’s been getting crowds a little hyped lately. Hope you enjoy, and seek out my new bits in those places you do your seeking."

Lots of love, EVL TOM xx

Outcast052 — EVL TOM /UK/ (2024)

A pioneer of UK breakbeat culture, having cut his teeth as half of Evil Nine, EVL Tom brings a myriad of influences to bear on his debut album, ‘Absolute Melt’. It’s an opus where Moodymann-esque Detroit soul flavours meet the psychedelic rave stylings of early Future Sound Of London, the raw but incessantly funky loops of hip-hop producers Madlib and the RZA rub up against the bass aesthetic of early ‘90s jungle/drum & bass. 
 
“Absolute Melt’ was me endeavouring to make a truly autobiographical record that represents my diverse tastes and experiences but bringing them together to form a cohesive whole. It’s a hybrid opus, the fulfilment of a life-long ambition to make an album solely by myself — to resoundly kick back against the Imposter Syndrome on my shoulder whispering that it couldn’t be done.” - EVL Tom
 
The thunder of rainstorms and other organic tones abound in the album opener ‘Trees’, a track drenched in bass with a Vangelis-esque horn melody riding it. Then it’s into ‘A Prayer’ with its mantra on peace and love, Tom’s stab at pushing out some positive feelings into the world, sonically harking back to early DJ Shadow and those seminal Mo’Wax joints. Two breakbeat cuts follow; ‘Incendies’ is a low-slung, smoked out roller with hints of Burial and ‘90s jungle (albeit at a fraction of the tempo), and ‘Eternal Lids’ is a track crafted to evoke late-night drives around cityscapes aglow with orange light and neon.  Taking a breath in the middle of the album we have the beat-less ‘Norman’, which is melancholically melodic like a sci-fi movie scene-setter, which then moves into ‘Rebels Of The Neon God’ where we’re taking it back to the club. The title references a Taiwanese cult film favourite of Tom’s and also serves as a tribute to Taiwan, a place dear to Tom after numerous visits over the years. An electro / hardcore hybrid, ‘Rebels…’ buzzes with an undercurrent of pure rave euphoria. 

Next up is the first single off the album, ‘The Heathers’, a dream-like, psychedelic epic with a dark second half that’s a counterpoint to the more wistful beginning of the tune. This is closely followed up by second single ‘Give Up (Don’t)’, something that Ron Hardy would maybe play at Muzic Box in Chicago, a tough disco banger pinned with an organic break that oozes raw funk. It’s a heads-down belter where the mood is positive and euphoric. Album closer ‘Love In Fire & Blood’ is the embodiment of a meme where a dude drinks a big bottle of cranberry juice whilst skateboarding to Fleetwood Mac — musically dense, and with the album’s signature blending of organic and electronic flavours. This delicate balance was achieved in the collaborative mixdown of the album by Tom and top bro Alexander James Fox, who brought his talent and knowledge to the table to craft it into the deeply woven epic you have before you.
 
“The title ‘Absolute Melt’ started as an in-joke, just a dope phrase that made me and my crew crease up, but then as I started to think on it, many levels were revealed to me. There’s ‘melting’ everywhere, with its climate change connotations; the psychedelic slant; and also perhaps a self-deprecating angle where maybe I’m the absolute melt… or you are, ha ha!” - EVL Tom
 
The artist also records as one half of Evil Nine with Pat Pardy, originally signed to Adam Freeland’s label Marine Parade. Their award-winning ‘You Can Be Special Too’ and ‘They Live!’ albums received widespread acclaim and in the process they collaborated with such luminaries as El-P from Run The Jewels, Danny Brown, Aesop Rock and Emily Breeze. They were residents at Fabric London, did a Radio One Essential Mix and toured the world several times performing at Fuji Rock Festival, Space in Miami, Twilo in NYC, Coachella and Arcadia at Glastonbury.

EDGE — a party series that never happened due to the war in Ukraine.

Inspired by the success of bringing Carl Finlow at the end of 2021, our team developed the brand identity for a new events series in Kyiv. Everything was ready to start — Umwelt booking, the lineup formed, flights paid for, announcements and ads set up.

But all that remains since then are memories of unfulfilled dreams and desires. And now — a tribute mix from Sparkless featuring the exact tracklist he prepared for EDGE.

We are happy to share these memories with you and release the mix with the EDGE design concept as it was and is. We are grateful to everyone who contributed to the creation of this mix, namely:

• Platon Superblack
• Alex Sparkless
• Art Clandestine
• Yuriy Sony

Enjoy listening.
Pass the vibe around.
Edge yourself.

💚
