Love Breaks [GOMA VA 001]

We walk together through the deserted room. Nothing here now but at its peak this was a hive; something for someone, nothing to no one. Funny how things can change, decay is everywhere but is no less shocking nonetheless.

The wind hisses, the surface dust dances, your vision blurs and skin prickles. The dubby sounds of DJ Swagger have taken over and inhabited this place, breathing through the walls they set forward a chain reaction of activity. Perhaps this place is palatable, no desireable after all.

PREMIERE: DJ Swagger - The Sent [Thirty Year Records]

Emotional dance music (made with real tears) coming straight outta the salty coasts of Bangor as Born Sleepy label head Optmst soundtracks those sleepy mornings and late nights.

Most days you can find Optmst in an abandoned college building in the East of Belfast, which is now a home to around eighty different artists of all shapes and sizes. Here, looking over the industrial ruins of a once mighty shipbuilding city, he conducts live jam sessions alongside fellow Born Sleepy associate Spireview. It's here that Inner Child was created - through clouds of smoke, emotional instinct and dreams of the subconcsious.

"I know I may be young, but I got feelings too /  and I need to do what I feel like doing, so let me go" - We feel you Britney, we really do.

Catch Optmst playing just before Mor Elian at our next party in Ulster Sports Club, Belfast, on Saturday May 11th. Tickets available here - https://www.facebook.com/events/275590943354808/

Premiere: Eliphino ‘It’s Hard To Say’

This was not a company but a great beast, an overarching monster which had grown far too big for its own boots. For whom and what are we talking about here? The jungle was wild, the talons of the trees and the wild creatures which owned this realm were dangerous and out of control as the dense greenery grew and grew further and further beyond control. Soon this great jungle would own and govern everything at least so it seemed. 

Earth Boys are set to release a new album via Shall Not Fade. "Earth Tones" is forthcoming and features a deep, sun kissed assortment of tracks built for late summer nights and sun kissed beaches. It's feel good house and breaks galore.

Originally from Brisbane, and having released music on Nerang Recordings and Inhale Exhale, DJ Dream Machine has chosen to hone his talents in the frostier climates of nipaluna/Hobart.

His stellar track 'Think About U', featured as part of our recent compilation Neu Hörizöns Vol. I [NH001], has racked up 10,000+ listens across Soundcloud and Youtube. The track combines shimmering glissandos with well-tuned breaks, and straddles the line between club track and heady home listen perfectly. A rotor-reverie beat that's intersected by a throwback vocal; it's a shining example of what's heating up in our southernmost city.

Only U [NH004] fires the first shot with its title track; infused with the belief that you're the greatest dancer, set amongst the smoke and haze of a antipodean dance-floor. 'A4Pad' features breathy shimmering synth lines riding on top of a driving breaks pattern. The offbeat hi-hats and grounded rhythm of 'Deep Breath' invokes cruising round on ice buggies by Davis Station. The release is rounded out by the infectious 'B is for Bubble', which echoes back to the 90's dance music scene in Brisbane.
