Superwave EP: 
Following up on the drops from Gyrofield and Tim Reaper, Low End Activist arrives on Best Intentions with four mutant workouts up-cycled from dormant projects and moulded into weighty, outer limits club gear.
 
Low End Activist is best known for his sizeable output across Sneaker Social Club, Peak Oil and his own LEA label, where he twists grime and dubstep structures to gnarly, tweaked soundscapes indebted to dystopian sci-fi and social realism. Stepping up to Kasra's Best Intentions label, he tries a different approach by combing back through his archives of samples and stems and piecing together tracks with a sharp, surgical intent. 
 
In a canny display of stop-start dynamics, the A side comes through resolutely moody between the minimal, eerie atmospherics of ‘Wave ’01 and the dislocated vocal trickery and half-step pressure of ‘Wave 02’. On ‘Wave ’03 you can hear the click and crunch of early days Perlon and the rudeboy swing of El B, while the drums on ‘Wave ’04 lock into the mechanical rotation of Gescom as a counterpoint to the enduring hardcore influence coursing underneath the surface of the track. 
 
Maintaining Best Intentions' commitment to fundraising, all proceeds from BEST003 will be donated to Medical Aid For Palestine (https://www.map.org.uk/)

Arnaud Briens, aka Deepo @deeposcrrrouiiiiizzz, is from Rennes, France. He is involved in the maintenant festival, weighing in on the bookings, and a fervent visitor of Unsound festival in Poland. A deep collectionner of gritty bass music as much as experimental jazz, noise, IDM, ambient and other edgy music, avid SLSK users no doubt have crossed his path there. Needless to say, it is an honour to host him here.

When I asked him to describe his set, he said “purple to ruby red”, assimilating as always colors to music. In other terms, he started off with glitch hop, with touches of dubstep, d&b, hyperglitch and more to “vary the colours”. Add to that dabbling in more experimental music, in which he compromised to make this geleia digestible by anyone. Headphones on!

Arnaud Briens, mais conhecido como Deepo, é de Rennes, na França. Participa ativamente do Festival Maintenant, trabalhando na curadoria artística, e é presença cativa do festival Unsound, na Polônia. Ávido colecionador de bass music crua, tanto quanto de jazz experimental, noise, IDM, ambient e outras sonoridades ousadas, é um nome que sem dúvida usuários assíduos do Soulseek já cruzaram em seus caminhos por lá. Não é preciso dizer que é uma honra tê-lo aqui.

Quando perguntei como ele descreveria seu set, respondeu: “do roxo ao vermelho-rubi” — comparando, como sempre, música a cores. Em outras palavras: começa no glitch hop, com pitadas de dubstep, drum & bass, hyperglitch e outros estilos para “variar as cores”. No meio do caminho, se aventura também em faixas mais experimentais, mas sempre de um jeito que deixa essa mistura mais “digestível” para qualquer ouvinte. Então, coloque o fone e aproveite a viagem.

Out now - 12 tracks: double vinyl and digital 

In 2013, Different Circles launched with Weightless Volume One, a compilation that helped define a new minimalist aesthetic in electronic music. 

Twelve years later and after a six-year pause, the label returns with its tenth release: Ping Volume One.

Like weightless, ping isn’t a genre. It's an approach to anchoring and propelling sound without relying on the steady pulse of a kick drum.

Instead, a single percussive hit — the ping — holds the centre. Dry and high in the mix, or echoing distantly through space, it becomes a temporal anchor. Around it, the rest of the track can undulate, bend, float or collapse.

The term first appeared on Mumdance’s radio show, where playing “the pingy ones” from the Different Circles back catalogue became a running joke. In the Discord community, it evolved into a shared language, with memes, lore and a mascot known as the Ping Devil.

In 2023, Mumdance aired The “Ping Report” a radio show that gathered everything into a coherent moodboard. It included original tracks made by Discord members for the show and set the foundations. From there, more producers began making ping intentionally, and over time, Ping Volume One took shape.

As the idea came into focus, Logos and Mumdance noticed that much of the Different Circles back catalogue, if not explicitly weightless, could now be understood through the lens of ping. It was a sound they had been drawn to long before they had a language to describe it.

Ping Volume One is a document of shared instinct. A collection of tracks connected by feel rather than formula, shaped by years of dialogue between a community of artists and listeners who were drawn to the same sounds & ideas before they had a name.

You are my Dr Darling [FREE DL]

This summer, Boiler Room & Native Instruments took Kode9 to Tokyo to explore the full spectrum of Japanese bass culture. A central focal point of our trip was an introduction to the ancient discipline of taiko: the enormous tree-hollowed drums used in Japanese culture for thousands of years. Originally used as fearful instruments in the theatre of war, it's only in the last half-century that they've been used for performance. As an academic in sonic warfare and the theoretics of bass, Kode9 was our ideal candidate to tackle their sheer magnitude.

Over the course of a few days, he set out sampling various taiko and took them into the studio with Osaka-based footwork producer DJ Fulltono. The result is "TKO", a heavy-duty 160BPM workout that brings the ancient drums right into the modern context of Tokyo's futurist footwork scene.
