Clad inaugurates Grid Records, summoning an album compilation from close friends and affiliates, half French, half internationals. 'Improvisations' allows twelve different producers to explore and create in different directions that they're not typically known for.

Featuring E-Unity, Kevin Murf, C.Coiffure, NRLSD, Doline, MISH, Lastrack, Théo Muller, Solotape, Realitycheck, EXCPT and Troy Gunner, the record establishes a tweaked-out relationship with improvisational sound-design from the outset and throughout. Themes of hypnotism and experimental club-focused excursions are entrenched within the framework, with deadly blows of percussion, and stereo-imaging coexisting in a gorgeous realm of love-injected artistic expression.

A lot of music in the current climate can seem to be executed by overthinking and overpolishing. However, 'Improvisations' turns this on its head, providing a beautifully human feel across twelve, unique excerpts.

Tracklist:
1. E-Unity - Diva Encounter
2. Kevin Murf - Tramal
3. C. Coiffure - Tongue Tied
4. NRLSD - He Got Game
5. Doline - Mélastique
6. MISH - Skunked
7. Lastrack - Yamouriddim
8. Théo Muller - Sea Spirits Calling
9. Solotape - Microflux
10. Realitycheck - Unity
11. EXCPT - Place For Your Ads
12. Troy Gunner - The Way You Went Away

Let us introduce Kevin Murf, with his debut EP ‘All Inclusive’. The first glimpse into his world, and what a world it is. Five deep excursions, all contrasting each other, speaking about the endlessly destroying pursuit of happiness of humans. 

From the chopped-up breaks and surging bass bins of opening track ‘Unexpected Jazz Crush’, to the supreme sound design & perc work on ‘Last Minute’, a bonafide club tool.
Followed by ‘Bagombo’, a janky, tribal post-African number which glues it together with samples sweeping through taxing build-ups and blissful breakdowns. 
‘Small Hole of Large Absorption’, a near 5 minute atmospheric build-up of eerie field recordings and spacious samples, giving rest bite to the club weapons it followed, reminding the end of our naive world.
Lastly, ‘Unexpected Jazz Crush (Solastalgia)’, concludes the EP. Based on a neologism of distress caused by environmental change, it’s a stripped back version of the opener that gives a clean end to the journey.

Tracklist:
1. Unexpected Jazz Crush
2. Last Minute
3. Bagombo
4. Small Hole of Large Absorption
5. Unexpected Jazz Crush (Solastalgia)

Kevin Murf - All Inclusive EP [GRID003] previews

Termite Tavern is something that was abandoned that originally led to Bee Stings. It didn’t fit with anything before but after making Slow Stings, it had come full circle back down to 100-105 bpm territory.

Low Budget Aliens - Da Unz

Yushh - Skiddadle (PDCOMP004)

@soreabuk returns to Control Freak for a full length white label release - a masterclass in organic, dubbed-out, dancefloor psychedelia, featuring live recordings by sound artist and modular percussionist @cikkun, following a recent collaboration with Azu Tiwaline.

As a DJ, producer and co-founder of Baroque Sunburst, Italian-born Soreab has been a mainstay of London’s underground electronic music scene for over 5 years. On ‘Teleportation’, he manipulates and twists Cinna’s deft percussion work into a distinct range of UK styles, ranging from 170bpm euphoria to subby, half-time explorations from the school of FWD>> and Plastic People.

On the B2, @drumsofjay (Phantasy Sound / Intergraded) takes a decidedly minimal tack with her remix of ‘Untitled 1’, with deep, dubby chord stabs and immersive rhythms for late night dancefloor revelations.

For Fans Of: Om Unit, Shackleton, Al Wootton

Limited pressing of just 300 hand-stamped records - don’t miss your chance to grab one!

2lanes is happy to announce the evolution of his digital label 'AUTO SHOP' into the physical world with the debut release from OVERTONE SERIES, a collaboration between Detroit based 2lanes and Jonah Baseball.  

Standing Waves (Bullfrog Mix) strips down the original track and recontextualizes the tunes' themes into a swampy amphibian-esque bass heavy fever dream.  This is a digital bonus track only available on bandcamp

Putting a pigeon amongst the cats we are back with that good shit. An out of step, incidental artefact of peaceful sophistry: YS - Brutal Flower (2 x “12 LP). A no airs and graces piece of cool future-proof ambience. A modern ballad for brave young clubbers, local pubbers, slipstream warriors, and emotional doggers.

The distinctive aesthetic hallmarks of YS are all here: slabs of urban flavour from emotional interior; raw data straight from the interface. ‘Untethered’ and ‘Down’ are chopped-up cuts of searching R’n’B - jaded jams of lustful erasure. On the flipside, blunted desire lingers in ‘Fading
Memory’. Both hopeful and mourning: this is the lay of the land in Brutal Flowers sharing that rare strain of underground synesthesia best located in dark undercurrents of early Mo Wax.

The orchestral ambience of ‘Autumn OST’ is a potent stupor of end credit cinematics. Coming up for air. It feels young in an ancient sort of way: pure as first snow. And from here in the album unfolds with the patience, tranquility and the expansive poise of a work that is for now and always. Pulsating gently to assured ending with ‘Be Together’ - a flickering skyline, swarming with warm memories. In between there’s flashes of heartbreak reminiscent of Beltran's Ten Days of Blue and Blunt’s Stone Island (‘Look Up’ feels like a sort of spiritual successor to ‘Wake up’), that being said, when push comes to shove it only it ever flirts with its own reality.

An aesthetic reflection of a creative process that is delicate and restless. Created in the edges, where long distances, fast cities and global melancholia are wrought large. Burning the midnight oil Berlin-Singapore style: from real to reel. A sentimental exercise of modern faith by old
friends. With a nudge and a wink, Brutal Flowers is a (de)coded map of memories wavering with familiar intrigue. Patient listeners and the already initiated will be rewarded on re-visits - as playful & profound as you please, as deep as the heart.

The scathe that cuts is clean and deep. There are no sleight of hands to be found in this opus, only hearts are worn on the sleeve here.

A hill we’d gladly die on

“Subsumption Rhythm,” which takes its name from British-Ghanaian music theorist Kodwo Eshun's work, is a dance through outer space–a club track for a rave on the ISS–that bridges North African hand drums with a sample of the late Brooklyn drill king, Pop Smoke.
