We're happy to present Goosensei's first solo EP on BCSM Records.
Goosensei presents four new tracks - influenced by dub and soundsystem culture, underground bass music and his surroundings in Birmingham, UK: thunder and grey skies, speaker boxes and King Earthquake basslines, the industrial past of the city - smoke ... and (r)evolution is in the air. So get ready for a hard hitting trip through bass and sound on Into The Unknown.

The limited 12" vinyl record comes with special artwork designed by Goosensei himself. For the extra sub pressure, LXC mastered all tracks to the fullest.

01 BCSM 009  Goosensei - Apache Dub CLIP

Young Echo's soundsystem enthusiast turns in a 46-minute set bursting with unreleased dubplates and collaborations.

The development of the various members of the Young Echo collective has provided some of the most interesting music to come out of Bristol over the past few years. Though the collective continues to grow in number, one artist who has been there since the beginning is Cris Ebdon, best known in the early days of Young Echo as one half of Zhou with Amos Childs. Together the pair released a number of standout 12”s on Punch Drunk, an EP on A Future Without and a collaborative cassette with Vessel on Astro:Dynamics, all of which fused the influence of classic dub with more ethereal textures, creating dark, complex dubstep-influenced music that felt like the logical continuation of the Skull Disco legacy.

Despite the pair being a core part of Young Echo’s early identity, recent years have seen Ebdon begun to develop his solo project, Ishan Sound. Taking more direct inspiration from Bristol’s rich soundsystem culture, and combining unsettling mystical melodies with strong bass pressure, Ebdon has been cutting his own solo dubplates since 2011, with the project’s official debut appearing on the label arm of Stokes Croft party Peng Sound early in 2013. Teaming up with local soundsystem veteran Ras Addis, “Clash Of The Titans” was a deadly steppers track, joined later that year by a similarly authentic 7”-shaped slice of dub on ZamZam Sounds. However, the project's breakthrough to wider recognition came last year, when Ebdon released the brilliant Namkha 12" on Pinch's Tectonic label.

With each of Ebdon’s solo releases offering some of the finest soundsystem music to come out of Bristol in recent years, we jumped at the chance to see in 2015 with an Ishan Sound podcast. The resulting 46-minutes sees Ebdon delve deep into his collection of unreleased dubplates for a mix that largely forgoes the music of other artists for unreleased solo tracks and vocal collaborations with Rider Shafique and Jabu. Ebdon also took the time to answer a few questions about the project's background, the state of soundsystem culture in Bristol and the Ishan Sound live show that has been turning heads of late.

Diphasic - Backbone Dub (45711, 7", 2015)

Mighty Ishan Sound AKA Cris Ebdon returns to ZamZam for his second outing.  The young master of UK steppers & dubwise experimentation arrives after several phenomenal releases including double-packs on Hotline and Peng! Sound and a profile that continues to rise in the international sound system community through his increasingly intense touring schedule and ever-closer collaboration with mic-phenomenon Rider Shafique.

“Rush On The Tonic” is a bruising 75 bpm killer that sees Ishan in minimalist dancehall mode.  A stripped kick-snare combination pulse drives the sparse riddim, hi hats and shakers adding subtle movement and tension.  Signature analog keys and flutes duel and intertwine in hypnotic style & fashion, while spring reverb shocks and splashes cut through from a distance and analog pulses bleep into sentience.  This one is all restraint, coiled power and subterranean menace.

ZamZam’s resident wrecking crew Alter Echo & E3 return the favor of Ishan Sound’s massive “Warning Dub” remix with a B side version primed for steppers dances.  75 bpm smacks to 150 with a power stepper true to the vibe of the original, but full charge with ricocheting percussion, lacerating snares, hollowed-out bass-warp, sample archaeology and even thicker atmospherics.  Duck!!

Released mid-April, 2016. Limited to 800 copies for the world. No digital, no repress. Design & screen print by Polygon Press.

Wilfy Rootikal - Peng Sound promo mix!

After a few months’ hiatus, ZamZam Sounds returns with our third release from Philadelphia dub-tech duo Heights & Worship, the propulsive & heady “Selassie’s Song” in two parts. Heights is Ras Heights of Ital Sound System, Worship represents Rob Paine, long-time head of dubhouse institution Worship Recordings and Solomonic Sound System. ZamZam’s friendship and musical connection to Rob extends back to the BSI Records days, and the link remains strong.

Both versions of “Selassie’s Song” utilize dub techno principles in new shapes and forms, far from the familiar Rhythm & Sound homages. Techy clicks & skittering percussion intertwine with the ancient sound of the binghi drum, signaling a seamless marriage of Rasta consciousness with an early morning eyes-down techno pulse & palette.

The A side “Never Chained” mix marries double time hi hats and synthetic textures to a body-rocking half time riddim. Sharp snares cut through the dense atmospheres, like shots fired across distant waves, and the disembodied voice of Emperor Haile Selassie I intones timeless wisdom on the unity of humanity in spite of differences in race, creed, religion, or nationality. The tune’s second drop leads into a 4/4 pulse that carries the tune into full dub techno territory, continued in even sparser style on the B side.

The “Break Every Chain” mix strips away most of the melodics to focus on the heartbeat techno pulse, as metallic synth skanks rise and fall, hi hats deftly shift patterns and mechanical textures emerge and fade, a disorienting game of light and shadow. A masterclass in deep & esoteric dubwise as only Heights & Worship do it.

Mastered by Sam at Precise.  Released mid-March, 2018. Limited to 600 7" vinyl copies for the world. Design & screen print by Polygon Press.  No repress, no digital.
