Rhythm Section is proud to welcome emerging London based Producer, Serenda to the label with an arresting sophomore EP: “Second Skin”
Serenda's  productions draw from the canon of Black electronic music with fearless intuition-always deep, always moving, always unpredictable: executed with a deft emotional fluidity.

Second Skin is a shape-shifting sonic world where flesh, identity, and memory blur into something entirely new.  The EP wasn't written as an overt statement about duality or identity-but in retrospect, that's exactly what it revealed.

Revelling in the twisted, chaotic percussion associated with greats such as Maurice Fulton and Joe Clausell, Serenda’s music balances light and dark, organic and mechanical, tension and release.

The dualities of her approach are evident throughout the EP but despite all these opposites, a great sense of balance is found. Influences are worn proudly on her sleeve but conventions are confidently thrown out of the window. Serenda is an artist who refuses to fit into a box.

" I enjoy playing with the tension between seduction and defiance. I wanted to make music that feels like flesh under club lights-real, sweating, mutating."

 “Part Seven” teases us with a soft Larry Heard-esque Juno pad before it disintegrates into deconstructed-club era sound design and growling baselines reminiscent of Malin Genie at his most experimental. 

The second single “Ms. Nightstress” has us floating in a primordial soup of frenetic drums and cascading doom chords. It’s a heads-down-big-room techno curveball. Just when we think we know where it’s taking us, in come the saxophones and the R&B vocals - invoking Carl Craig at his most demented.

"People expect me to be one thing," she says,
“…but I never am. And that tension-that refusal to fit-is where l find my power."  

Each track moves with a different skin peeling away - guttural club rhythms, tender off-kilter grooves, distorted percussion and haunting motifs. Together, they form a body: shedding, sweating, mutating. It's music for the dancefloor-but also for liminal spaces, for becoming.

"I realised afterwards that the EP sounds so diverse because I am so diverse," Serenda says. "These different sounds, moods, and textures-they're all parts of me. I don't fit into one category, and maybe that's the point. I'm the common thread. I'm all of it…am dual."

This record  packs so much punch for a 4 track EP. It’s a major statement from a singular artist.
 It's music for bodies in flux; for those finding power in their own contradictions. 

“Second Skin is the beginning of the mythos," Serenda explains. "It's a premonition. A shedding-but also an arrival."

Love International launch new vinyl-focused imprint with a 12" from Adam Curtain including a remix from Mr. Ho.

Revered party crew Love International expand their enterprise, channeling the buzz from another stellar year into a freshly minted sub-label: the 'Love International Floor Series'.

As the name suggestions, the series zeroes in on the dance floor, giving some form and shape to misty memories forged across protracted sessions at Barbarellas, The Olive Grove and The Beach in Tisno.

In to inaugurate the project is London based Adam Curtain - an artist focused on flexing the boundaries of UK club music who has been gathering steam as a nifty selector and a talented producer. A familiar face on both sides of the booth at Lion & Lamb, Fabric, Gottwood and of course - Love International - Adam nails the brief in delivering a record that is sharp, direct and eminently playable.

Musically - the tunes bridge old and new, nestling in that sweet spot between Breaks, Electro, UKG, Acid and Minimal. Stepped grooves, crisp snares, angular synths and oozey bass lines all unify to render a sound that's simultaneously psychotropic and crystal clear.

The cherry on the cake comes as a remix from the venerated Mr. Ho of Klasse Wrecks fame. Often paired with Luca Lozano, Mr. Ho is a master of organising chaos and here he does exactly that - rousing his machines and churning the original into a sludgy, fractal brain scrambler.

„Acid Reaction“ is the first in a series of new releases by Danilo Plessow (MCDE). After having recently spent a lot of studio time recording bands for his disco-focused label Space Grapes, this marks a return to electronic music. Releasing on Rush Hour in mid-November!

The title Rude Futures serves as a meta commentary on the realities of the modern digital age, the dawn of AI and its impact on art and society. Musically, it's a darker, more twisted turn to Danilo’s studio experiments - with a nod to early house and techno.
