the music is good, but the mixing... not so good

Leon Vynehall sculpts a mix of experimental sounds, smoky house and peak-time techno for the On Cue series.

While writing his new LP, ‘Rare, Forever’, Leon Vynehall was at a crossroads, asking himself what he wanted his music to say. In conversation with Ray Philp, he talks about about finding his place in the landscape of electronic music, and releasing his most ambitious release to date.

Ross From Friends - 06 August 2022

Manchester DJ @tarzsa_williams records an uplifting mix of warming, soulful house for the Fresh Kicks series 

“This mix feels very tender and somewhat of a breakthrough for me... It’s definitely a gradual build, something from both my mind and heart.  For me, it’s a reminder to myself and others that there’s still some magic to be found even when it’s a bit difficult to create. Recorded in one take, because I literally don’t know how else to do it."

* INTERVIEW: https://boltingbits.com/uu-rhythm-unknown-untitled/ ‎

You hear a lot these days that things just aren't like they used to be. In an era dominated by algorithmically assembled playlists and the "need" for a social media presence to make a splash, it can sometimes feel like the underground and DIY qualities that defined the dance music of yesteryear have been flattened to fit the screens and speakers in our pockets. There's no arguing it's easier to have your finger on the pulse with show alerts and release notifications, but it's hard to deny the feeling of falling in love with a tune for the first time without any pre-existing context.

With this in mind, consider the three absolute heaters that caught many off guard in November of 2020; without knowledge of the creative force behind them, reputable artists and tastemakers alike were floored by a triptych of tough-yet-nimble tracks. At the time, the artist was unknown, and the tracks were all untitled.And so was the label that released them. With their debut record (the aforementioned cuts collected as uu001) and each one since, unknown - untitled is a label that has absolutely struck a chord in the dance world, scratching an itch that many of us didn't know we had. unknown - untitled previews their releases anonymously and unveil artist and track info initially on the inside of the records they ship out. This gives listeners the opportunity to imprint their full imagination and subjective experience onto each unique outing. We now know several of the artists responsible (we won't ruin the surprise, go dig for yourself).

Today we speak to the mastermind behind the label (and an intrepid selector in their own right), uu rhythm, whose curatorial mind and impeccable taste has fuelled the unknown - untitled project since its beginning. Alongside an absolutely stellar exclusive mix for Bolting Bits, uu rhythm agreed to peel the curtain back a bit for us.

INTERVIEW.

Tracklist here: http://www.mixesdb.com/w/2015-01-02_-_Floating_Points_%26_Four_Tet_@_Plastic_People_Closing_Party,_London

Over the past 8 years or so we have had, along with Theo Parrish, the honour of playing the monthly residencies at a small basement club in Shoreditch, London with an impeccable sound system. After 20 years of operation, it was time to move on and close the doors on a place that has a lot to answer for in shaping modern club culture. To say this space along with the owner Ade’s singular vision was fundamental in our personal musical formation would be a complete understatement. 
 
On the day of their closing, manager Charlotte asked us if we’d put the system through its paces for the last time that the club would be open to the public. We set about packing the anthems from our respective residencies and on the night once the people were through the doors played 2 records in turn for the rest of the dance. We included tracks of our own and of friends that were made with that place in mind. Records like Daphni - Ye Ye and Four Tet - Pinnacles were made to first be played at Kieran’s nights there, and the Floating Points - Vacuum EP was born out of the CD-R night at the club, and its launch party was the trigger for Sam’s monthly residency.
 
We set this recording up just before the start of the night and unfortunately it distorts in places, but we make no apology for how joyfully noisy people get! The vibe in the room this night was typical of the club on any given night and we hope this recording captures just a fraction of the spirit of a Plastic People night.
 
A massive thank you from us to everyone that has come down to the nights over the years and supported our music there. We are truly humbled to have shared the music we love with people at this place, and your energy in turn has influenced the way we make music on an unfathomable scale. We also thank the bosses Charlotte Kepel and Ade Fakile for inviting us to the club and having faith in us over  these years! All the best for the future!
 
 
See you in the dance
 
Much Love 
 
Sam &amp; Kieran
