Thanks for putting these out! love your production

London-based Baroque Sunburst (@baroquesunburst) and Italian XCPT serve DJs and systems a zinger in this collabo. Four urgent tracks, uptempo and half-beat, fearless and immersive. Shades of techno pump linearity into bulging basslines, and amidst the echoes of 90s dub a whiff of industrial, post-punk shamelessness rears its head. Soundboys beware.


Tracklist:
A1 Nothus & Big Hands - Splugen Bass
A2 Soreab & KRSLD - Butoh
B1 Big Hands & Soreab - FC Ladub
B2 Delikwe - Fibra Cosmica

Soft Raw is a new label from Danielle – a natural extension of the Bristol-based DJ’s expansive tastes within contemporary club music. Over the past few years the NTS resident has become a leading light in the multifaceted world of modernist techno abstractions, ably balancing soundsystem pressure and propulsive rhythmic intensity with experimental textures and explorative energy variations. Soft Raw seeks to continue that mission with releases which will progress stylistically from one approach to another, taking in exciting, emergent producers unique in their approach but bound together by the idiosyncratic curation of Danielle – a faithful reflection of her proven skill as a selector.

The label launches with a six-track drop from Slacker. Sam Black has been winding up a potent strain of needlepoint techno which leans towards jungle and half-time D&B in its tempo and structure. Across a selection of various releases, Black’s sound has evolved into an accomplished and detailed style which draws on moody atmospheres and advanced engineering in the grand tradition of UK soundsystem music. Across this EP the Slacker sound matches up to the spirit of Soft Raw, balancing fierce kinetic energy with delicacy and finesse and leaving some space for outright ambience. At times he locks into a half-step warm-up mode, while elsewhere the amens creep in for a more pronounced jungle rinse-out.

It’s a strong opening statement for this new label, but crucially this doesn’t spell out the future in absolute terms. True to Danielle’s broad outlook, subsequent releases are set to take in everything from straight up 4/4 and acid to footwork and electro, with a narrative binding each release together according to her internal logic and the tension between soft and raw qualities explored across consistently cutting-edge tracks.

Slacker - Damage To Be Undone | Soft Raw (SFTRW01)- Snippets

Hailing like a warning siren from the steaming sweat pits of Manchester’s sticky underground, @henzo lands on PM+ to continue the unflinching club focus of Peder Mannerfelt’s series. Henzo’s own swerve comes in the wake of heads like Carbon 96 (Zoe McPherson and Ciarra Black), Logos and ZULI doing their own dastardly work to get you jacking in various ways. 

It’s no surprise YCO-affiliate Henzo has been picked for this series – his crafty bootleg of Mannerfelt’s ‘Clear Eyes, Full Heart’ came out last year in an unapologetic splat of bass and sharply-tooled rhythm. He opens up this one-two punch with ‘Are You With Me This Time,’ a brawny, electro-fied, all-killah floorfillah with a hook that dares to be anthemic, borderline emotional even. It’s attention-seeking like a foot-stamping diva scowling at the state of the party, with the sass to match. Offering something a little sketchier for the heads down crew, ‘Is Find Never Mind’ is a lean workout in the vein of that devilish PM bootleg, boasting a kick you could take home to meet the parents and moody garage chord stabs given a few too many edibles.

OS005 - Notte Infinita - Atmosfera

For our next release, Notte Infinita mediates the balance between dub-laced frequencies, introspective melodies and atmosphere. His propulsive 'Atmosfera' three-tracker focuses on digital signal processing and embraces the shimmery, hyper-realistic synthetic quality of FFT manipulation.

ISLA33 - “Somaesthesia” is for the body, for how the body feels and how the body communicates with its soul. It was written through a year of growth and sickness, which stimmed inflection to a body at rest, a body aroused, a body communicating needs, a body happy, a homeostatic body, a friend body.

The next record on Incienso and our first EP for the year is from the London based producer, DJ, and Wisdom Teeth label co-founder, Facta.

Emeline sees Facta working across a variety of tempos and timbres - from the tripping tech grooves of the title track “Emeline” and “Mirage” to the muted chug and serpentine bassline maneuvers of “Sick Pup, and the off kilter rhythm and shimmering piano of “Felt”, Facta presents a range of styles and substance for the dance floor at any hour, anywhere.

@plebeiann returns to the Eternal Ocean, continuing his exploration of psycho-cerebral realms with a collection of six sonic spells titled “Graffiti World”

“Splashes of color accent immersive and introspective environments full of unexpected aural organisms and secret passageways. Playful rhythms bounce off of one another, discreetly stuttering and slithering between carefully considered spectral and pointillistic textures. An enveloping bass weight massages the listener, providing the foundation to an alien world full of unknown life. The landscape is shrouded in a mist of psychedelic fog, which clears in brief moments revealing shimmering and resplendent views that defy language. Coming down from the heights, we are taken back into the depths of this new terrain, grappling with how to describe what was experienced. Words do little justice here – my advice is to close your eyes, focus on your breath and allow it to happen. It won’t last forever: be as present as you can.”
