XLR8R+ Submissions Round Up: July

Detroit native Young Muscle (@architecture_in_tokyo) brings his first full EP to Scuffed Recordings, exploring an array of heavy hitting electronic influences over three new tracks.

Opening track ‘Pluck’ is driven along by rolling percussion and tied together with an infectious flute hook that echoes back to the glory days of UK funky.

Young Muscle - Pluck

Club Glow continues to exist as one of the most exciting labels in the underground dance landscape. The imprint releasing nostalgic rave goodness is run by Denham Audio, LMajor, Mani Festo and Borai, and the latter is now making his debut on the label with ‘Need U‘. Responsible alongside Denham Audio for the absolute heater that is ‘Make Me’, Bristol-based Borai teamed up with the trio again for another dancefloor-charged release, ‘Clouds Across The Stars‘. A four-tracker volleying between breakbeat, jungle and 140, ‘Need U’ has been a fixture on the label’s Club Glow Radio show for some time now. The EP is the second in Club Glow’s vinyl series, following Mani Festo’s heatedly-received ‘All Night‘, and is strictly limited to 300 copies. ‘Step Off’, which we’re premiering below, drives things forward with a killer vocal sample, swinging hi hats and some breaky goodness.

Premiere: Borai - 'Step Off'

Unveiled

Dive into a warm bath of dreamy ambient and hypnotizing club-ready synth patterns with Modo Mero’s debut EP ‘Bits and Pieces’. With his cloudy harmonies, long melodic lines, and rich grainy textures the Dutch-born producer and live performer creates an electronic nebula of musical bliss and compelling compositions.

Throughout the past year, Bits and Pieces was created in Modo Mero’s hometown in the countryside where he spent a lot of time experimenting with recorded sounds and created soundscapes inspired by the peace and quietness of his surroundings. The record therefore came to life in a playful way by gathering little ‘bits and pieces’ of these sessions and gluing them together as a whole. It displays glimpses of synthetic landscapes, leaving us in a dreamy world of atmospheres, all with a sense of kindness and warmth.

Celebrating the extensive history of electronic music while still exploring the limitless means of modern music production, Modo Mero is mastering the illustrious art of merging, fusing, and blending styles and sound. Whether you are floating in a nightclub or staring out the window on a late bus ride home, there is always a time and place to listen, drift away and letting your mind conjure up a story of your own.

Cartin - Spanner [MINDS] - Plain Sailing Debuts

Brace yourselves for a heavy dose of hi-tech futurisms from a long time Sneaker associate. Laurie Osborne has held true to his free-spirited musical demeanour since his breakthrough dubstep years, springing across tempos and styles while holding fast to a deep-rooted raver’s instinct. His profound appreciation and knowledge of vast oceans of music injects his sound with a boundless, playful enthusiasm. What better format then for the mighty Appleblim to stretch his legs than on a tape? (The first to be spooled out on Sneaker Social Club, no less.)

As was evident with his 2018 LP Life In A Laser and his ALSO collaboration with Second Storey, Osborne speaks fluently in the techno and electro vernacular as much as UK soundsystem gear, channeling a sparkling, melodic energy which typified those genres at their inception. On Infinite Hieroglyphics, Osborne trips into expansive imagined vistas and fizzy furrows with a pervasive sub-bass footing. At times the album is cosy and intimate, as on the spangled back room dubbings of ‘Zephyr’, while elsewhere it stretches up and out with the extroverted square wave hyper-flex of ‘Riley’s Spiral’. Throughout though, the track structures remain restless and fluid, moving between phases with the non-linearity we cherish in the most creative rave music. At every turn a new synth lick vibrates into ear shot, a fresh rhythmic angle shifts the weight of the groove or an unexpected FX swerve splays out the sonic narrative.

Beyond the cassette trappings of the full album, an accompanying 12” sampler pulls together four tracks primed for soundsystem deployment. But as we’ve come to expect from Appleblim, these cuts are likely to subvert expectation and stimulate a more profound response in the dance – open-hearted and adventurous, a little bit alien and in thrall to the technology, like rave music was always meant to be.

Nick Hoppner-protege Cameo Blush’s rework of Athlete Whippet’s ‘Arrows’ showcases the intense drum programming, off-kilter sounds and glistening arpeggios that have made his debut on the Ostgut residents’ new imprint Touch From A Distance a roaring success in the dance community, landing on Altar, Fresh Finds and Techno State. The Ross From Friends live trio member’s rework is part of ‘Your Love Is Lifting Me Reimagined’, which sees Athlete Whippet give a diverse selection of new wave talent (incl. Aleksandir and Edmondson) free reign on their recent EP.
