Debuts

New & hot: Electronic

Jamie George - Take Me There (Prod by Shenoda)

Delighted to premiere a track from one of our favourite labels to emerge from the last few years: ec2a. Headed by Dr Duplate, the label has been. behind some of the best contemporary UK garage records, and the latest comes from Russian producer FTRRLT as he joins the labels OPM vinyl series with five bubbling cuts of 2-step.

We've copped the remix from OG Swamp81 don Benton - a wicked blend of breaks, bass and screw-face energy. Play this one loud.

FTRRLT - The Going Is Rough (Benton Remix) [ec2a] - Plain Sailing Debuts

Fresh off the back of a debut Boiler Room performance at the world renowned AVA Festival, releases on Extended Play, Nocturne & Rudimentary Records and captivating live set performances at Celtronic, Derry’s very own Cartin delivers a two track EP spanning lairy UK electro-breaks and glitch-driven techno that shines a deserved spotlight on exactly why the emerald isle is so excited about him.

Today we premiere ‘Endz’ - an in-your-face bass heavy banger that blends grimey vocal samples and gun-finger energy  in a mutation of electro, breakbeat, grime and punk - a wonderful example of Cartin’s ability to seamlessly blend genre, yet remain so distinctive.

Cartin - Endz - Plain Sailing Debuts

It's no secret that we're massive Rory Sweeney fans. The producer has carved out a distinct lane for himself within a sea of the same, consistently bringing something new, fun and innovative to the table.

ULTRAPOLLEN has come through with a wicked remix of Rory & Kayleigh Noble's 'Needy' and it blends two of our favourite things - the best parts of the Sweeney-verse and a cloudcore, dreamy percussive aesthetic. The result is a tears-in-the-club bass banger that will have you crying front-left.

The latest VA from Holly Lester's Duality Trax imprint focuses on six emerging and established artists that are all making their mark within their respective cities and beyond, with 100 percent of profits going to the Palestine Children's Relief Fund.

Belfast producer Body Clinic rounds off the VA, fusing DnB and prog in ‘159 Revolutions Per Minute.' Here, the young artist perfectly demonstrates the interwoven themes and concepts that the label seeks to platform.

Premiere: Wiley - From The Outside (Special Request Mix)

Dublin based avant-garde electronic music party and platform come through with a killer VA spanning the genre-defying, experimental and futuristic. 

Headed by Irish DJ and producer darkmavis; the boundless possibilities of electronic music are what make up the Aerga projects. Your listening experienced is enriched with everything from dreamy ambient, to pulsating hardcore, heavy bass and hard-drum, hyper maximalist takes on jungle, pure experimentalism and of course euphoric progressive and hard cuts of trance.

'Use Me' by Dublin and Give Us The Night mainstay R.Kitt is a cut of tranced-out, dreamy club designed for those 5am moments when the sun starts to make it's way through the warehouse windows and hangs in the air.

To date the platform has hosted some incredible artists such as Evian Christ, TDJ, Snow Strippers, Taahliah, Varg2tm, Amor Satyr, Rory Sweeney and Dark0. Quite a forward thinking roster, and one we can certainly get behind. Support grass roots and independent labels. That's where the most interesting stuff is happening.

Full release out April 11th. Head to the Ethereal Skies Bandcamp page here: https://etherealxxskies.bandcamp.com

My Nu Leng & Kry Wolf - What You Feel feat. Kiko Bun

Boulie Classics

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/
