CNP017 • 'Mike Cheque / Greaze' - @slolek

Full A/AA release: 16.09.21

OUT NOW: https://canape-records.bandcamp.com/album/mike-cheque-greaze

"We are thrilled to welcome South East London's Slolek to the Canapé family, with this carnal double-track debut. Having operated under various guises in recent years, CNP017 sees the British DJ/Producer hone his unique strain of cavernous mutant techno, sure to bless countless soundsystems in the months to come.

A-side 'Mike Cheque' showcases a true melting pot of UK underground influences: Slolek's irresistible UKG lilt is thickened with Electro backbeat girth and a grimey sub-line that absolutely screams for a gunfinger.

'Greaze' continues our journey into techno swampland, as haunting vocal hits and churning breakbeats are underpinned by (perhaps) the dirtiest kick of 2021."

Written, produced and mixed by Slolek.
Mastered by Charlie Stork at Canapé HQ.

A lot has happened since Fixate released his last full length record, ‘What Goes Around’, on Exit Records in 2017. After putting out two Bandcamp EPs (‘Glare’ & ‘Confusion’) and several remixes—including his ‘Ripgroove Refix’, which famously went viral on Sherelle’s 2019 Boiler Room set and was eventually released as official remix on Ice Cream Records—he now presents his self-titled debut album ‘Fixate’.

Developed over five years, the project showcases Fixate’s sound palette in all its variety, a diversity of taste that’s reflected in his supporters: he’s garnered attention from icons like Andy C, Goldie, and Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs, as well as underground tastemakers like Call Super, Toddla T, and Skee Mask. Ross From Friends closed off his 2020 Room Isolation set with Fixate’s breaky acid number ‘On Edge’; Sicaria Sound spun the dub-influenced album opener ‘Ruminate’ in their sets; and Madam X had sub-heavy track ‘Gristle’ doing the rounds.

Atlanta resident Nikki Nair invites you to join his new 4 track EP on Astrophonica - ‘Renormalization Support Group’. It’s a place where we can share our experiences via the help of Nikki’s special ‘not quite sure what you call it’ bass lead Electro Breakbeat programme.

Track one is ‘Plug’ - An uptempo low slung booty shaker which will have sound engineers scrambling at cables and faders trying to work out wtf is going on. We’ve all been there so let’s talk about it.

Track two is ‘Where Are U’ and encourages us to ask ourselves that question through the exploration of full speed Breakbeat Electro. If we know where we are, we can begin to look into where we are going. Probably the dance floor.

Track three is ‘it’s NP-Complicated’ which sets out an uncomplicated blend of bubbling bass and simple sympathetic drums, providing us with a network to feel more empowered
and to build a sense of community.

Track four is ‘Donut Time’ - Well done for finishing the course! You can congratulate your self with a donut full of squelchy acid jam, glazed with frosted pads and hi hat sprinkles.

“Together we can help ourselves be alone together.” - Nikki Nair

Since 2011, Simon Hafner aka Sun People from Graz has been merging footwork, juke, jungle and UK hardcore influences to create his own distinctive sound. With releases on labels like Exit, Alphacut, Rua Sound and Through These Eyes, he has made a name for himself in the international 160 bpm scene over the years. In addition to remix jobs and his own productions, Simon also pursues his musically eclectic vision on a highly rated four-weekly radio show on London's Sub.FM.

On his EP The Walls, released in 2020 on Defrostatica, he devoted himself to early Chicago house music as well as European proto-hardcore of the 80s and the turbo sound championed by the likes of Fracture, Itoa and BSN Posse.

In 2022, Sun People presents a refined version of high-speed breakbeat minimalism, drawing further from bleep, dub and even industrial techno, but still with optimistic depth. From the cold bleep-influenced opener Into The New to the jungle-tekno track Overtoom and the tribalism of State of Flux, Sun People builds its own hypnotic approach to captivate dancers. Amaterasu marks the soulful coda and gives us the opportunity to take a breath.

DRUMSKULL / MANI FESTO
PHASE VELOCITY EP (DSSR090)

01 Drumskull - Phase Velocity (Original Mix)
02 Mani Festo - Hours (Original Mix)
03 Drumskull - Phase Velocity (Mani Festo Remix)
04 Mani Festo - Hours (Drumskull Remix)

Hot off dropping an EP on Hooversound, East London DJ and producer Drumskull launches his own eponymous label with a double-header featuring Club Glow co-founder Mani Festo.

The four-tracker includes an original from each producer – both tracks previously released on Seagrave before it closed its doors last year, taking its back catalogue with it. With these reissued versions remastered, each producer then remixes the other for a fresh, new take.

Drumskull's 'Phase Velocity' displays the same genre fluidity highlighted on 2020's debut album 'Interlocked'. Starting out with a footwork stutter, lush chords floating over booming 808s, the vibe evolves, rolling breaks adding in a jungle intensity. Mani Festo reconstructs this for 140 floors, his club kick pattern providing the bounce as flanging, time-stretched breakbeats keep it rooted in the hardcore continuum.

Mani Festo, aka South East London DJ, producer and graphic artist, Nick Marks, has previously appeared on labels such as Rupture, E-Beamz, Sneaker Social Club and Club Glow, which he runs with LMajor, Borai and Denham Audio. 'Hours' highlights his background in drum and bass, rude basslines running under techy, metallic breaks. Reduced down to 135 by Drumskull, deep, deadly subs and bumpy, swung drums focus it into a dark, shuffling groove.

Combining two of the leading lights from the new wave of breakbeat music, the Phase Velocity EP is released digitally on Friday 24th March 2023 with a limited run of lathe cuts available via the launch party at Planet Wax in London on the same date and to follow on Bandcamp.
