Salamanda - Coconut Warrior (Tristan Arp Firefly Dub)

Millie & Andrea are Miles Whittaker and Andy Stott, fellow labelmates at Modern Love who collaborated on an occasional series of 12” releases between 2008 and 2010. It’s been four years since we last heard from them but they now return with “Drop The Vowels”, their debut album. Produced fast and loose through late 2013 / early 2014, it’s an album that recalls the strict and stripped funk of Anthony Shakir as much as it does Leila’s incredible debut ‘Like Weather’, eschewing the dark aesthetic both producers are best known for in favour of something much more visceral. It’s an album borne from a love of both pop and club music, made to evoke an adrenalised, hedonistic, as well as an emotional response.

Opener GIF RIFF brings to life a Gamelan edit stripped bare before the over-compressed ‘Stay Ugly’ breaks out with a tumbling, broken arrangement situated somewhere between Richard D James and Jai Paul. “Temper Tantrum” and “Spectral Source” follow, versions of tracks originally released on the second and third Daphne EP’s respectively, the former a rugged rave anthem tempered by blue strings, the latter a proper dancefloor destroyer recalling Shake’s mighty ‘Madmen’. ‘Corrosive’ flits between a fillibrating, arpeggiated steppers rhythm and a brutal jungle breakdown, while ‘Drop The Vowels’ further explores and strips bare bass & drums before the slow but jacking warehouse killer “Back Down” provides pure percussive abandon. Quay ends the set with something quieter, a sublime coda made entirely from field recordings.

Premiere: Ouri - 'Ironic'

Sann Odea welcomes NAKANO BLU ( @nakanoblu ) to the label with his spectacular ‘Sentadona’ EP. The Amsterdam-based producer means business and delivers four high-energy club tracks.

After his early days of lo-fi house and dub techno, his practice moved into the sounds of IDM and diasporic-latin influenced club music. 
This evolution is evident in the title track, where the Spanish-born artist showcases his talent for blending unconventional rhythms, dark textures, and FX, all while maintaining a danceable and effective style for the club. On ‘Deconstructivisme,’ NAKANO collaborated with fellow Amsterdam-based producer Berman, resulting in a bass-driven journey featuring a catchy melody and an unexpected twist. As for ‘Broken Glass Inside My Shoes,’ the title speaks for itself. NAKANO’s experimental side takes the lead, crafting an eerie yet bold track with enough subs to shake your core.

The EP concludes in style with ‘Ortiga,’ where NAKANO switches to the ever-effective 4x4 rhythm for the first time, showcasing his ability to contrast raw organic sounds with the synthetic nature of electronic club music.

Tracklist:
1. NAKANO BLU - Sentadona
2. NAKANO BLU & Berman - Deconstructivisme
3. NAKANO BLU - Broken Glass Inside My Shoes
4. NAKANO BLU - Ortiga

Edited Arts is launching Beyond Shame, Any Second by DJ Meddle.

Beyond Shame, Any Second opens with a call and response, a melody relayed over a damaged line, altered by its journey. Throughout this debut EP, that broken signal is forged into jagged rhythms and raw club pressure.

Space defines Meddle's sound: skeletons of dance styles paused and peppered by deftly chosen samples and oddness. A love letter to Porto, echoes of London's dread. Chopped, ripped apart, fused back together, just enough and never too much.

Twenty Five Four features Ece Canlı, the Porto-based Turkish researcher and artist, soon to launch her debut album on local mainstay Lovers & Lollypops. Recorded in one enchanting take at Stop studios, Ece’s spectral voice glides out of a cadaverous instrumental, only to steer and bewitch it in the end

The thumbnail from the Ytube upload of The Ones - Absolutely Flawless is that emo-club picture of the woman with headphones on listening to a song looking really fallen, a swirl of light about her as if that is music itself or her own feelings made visible. It’s a thumbnail for a Traktor tutorial vid, or was it my 2010 HD desktop wallpaper? Wait that’s actually some private information… keep it to yourself please.

Meddle samples the word and it’s a good one: “correction”, and repeats it. It’s not that you or me or us if you’ll let me lump (us) together, need reminding of Absolutely Flawless for a smile, it’s that it’s actually quite difficult to cope with the day to day chronic loss of placeness, opportunity, collective spirit, when lyrics from tracks like these speak of things you’ve never experienced, or had said to you, which begs the Q’ who or what is flawless? Who’s shaming who? Am I the listener embarrassed to live a life not up to the sentiment of the song, or should u as the producer be uncomfortable to make me feel this way?

Meddle and Ece Canlı made a 15min track that is the exact opposite of a neon slow-shutterspeed glowstick swirl. It’s the royal gate music for the princeless, the loading music for a game about true bonds where the confidence to not be unspoiled is the mechanic.

These samples and sounds on here are special because they fit together not untouched but touched in this way. This isn’t music of extra loneliness for the already alone, or of shininess for the dull and lowly, it’s the music that says – “I’ll be there any second”–  for you, and just for you.

DJ Meddle - All My Clothes Are Branded

Out now on Crosstown Rebels: ffm.to/krustctr

On 6th November Bristolian master Krust presents 'The Edge Of Everything' – his first album in 14 years. The pre-eminent electronic icon – who continuously blew minds throughout the 90s and 00s – has returned from a 10 year hiatus rejuvenated and artistically freed.

He took time out to explore liberating new philosophical, mental and creative processes, then employed an approach he describes as “80% psychology and 20% mechanics”, to strive for something authentically unique and original. And the results really show; this is Krust as futurist revisionist, on his best ever form, making exhilarating standout music of depth and substance, which sounds unlike anything else.

Inspired by everything from Christopher Nolan to Hegel, Martin Scorsese to The Kabbalah, Krust is ready to shake things up with his wildly engrossing new sonics. On this multi-layered masterpiece parallel threads run simultaneously, operating as gripping fantasy tale, profound trip into Ego death and rebirth, deeply personal expression, and all-inclusive proposal for the improvement of creativity and global society.

‘The Edge Of Everything’ is as much a movie as it is an album, with a combination of adventure and brains that shares DNA with the metaphysical blockbuster ‘Inception.’ In turns psychological thriller, action romp and sci fi space opus, the album has a narrative arc which charts a physical, mental and spiritual journey to far beyond and back, full of detours and levels.

The record champions embracing the unknown and tackling the uncomfortably unfamiliar, with an unnamed protagonist at the precipice, with no choice but to take a leap of faith. Diving headfirst into the unexplored realms, a perilous quest of self-discovery is undertaken, before finally returning home, forever changed for the better. “This is something everyone is the world is faced with now; as we enter the abyss of unprecedented times, uncertainty and turmoil, we have to face the reality of our future and adapt”, comments Krust.

He adds, “even if we’re dragged kicking and screaming, we’re going into a new world, whether we like it or not. Some people don’t want change and are reluctant to do something different, but in myself and others I'm pushing forward to show our capabilities and say that we don’t need be afraid. We have to embrace change, come to terms with life in a different way, and find different approaches. We need to take risks.

It's the same with certain scenes and genres, which musicians shouldn’t feel handcuffed to. We shouldn’t try and maintain the status quo – it's gone now anyway! Do we want new and wonderful, or more of the same? We’re going into new world kicking and screaming, whether we like it or not. We're at a fork in the road and there’s no way back.”

Although a universal hero/heroine, it’s possible the protagonist is an avatar of Krust himself, who following a breakdown left his familiar world of music and entered uncharted territory. “I walked away, took a stap back to discover new things and re-think. I went on retreats and workshops, meditated, studied beliefs and neuro-linguistic programming, and thought a lot about creativity and consciousness. I had to really consider, ‘who is Kirk Thompson’?”

When making the album, Krust shattered his usual preconceptions, life patterns and working methods; he scattered them across the galaxy, explored the unknown, gathered the shards, and returned – reassembling them into brand new fantastical shapes.
