New York City’s Joey steps up for our inaugural mixtape. The Brooklyn-based artist is a specialist in up-tempo oddities & tripped out percussive rhythms, often crafting his own world. This mix follows his impressive 'Ten Sixty' Elicit debut EP in the summer. Dive in!

Bait is set to release the debut EP, ‘Hepp’, from Leipzig producer Old Man Crane with four subterranean bass experimentations.
Marking the 16th release on the label since its inception in 2023, the connection between Old Man Crance and the label started via a DM with her demos and blossomed into a collaborative partnership including a spontaneous back-to-back with Beatrice M. at Bassmaessage last year. The ‘Hepp’ EP follows shortly on from Old Man Crane’s first appearance on Bait via the One Hundred and Fifty Steps compilation series and begins an exciting chapter for the emerging artist.

For its third release, GRACE is stoked to get @lurka on the dials. On ‘Signal’, the Bristol head serves up a classy four-course menu of bass oddities primed and tested for club misdemeanour. 
The result is a spread of hyperdistinct energies channelled through weirdo wubs, skippy incantations, rude halftime drum power and fast funky bliss.

Peverelist - Feel Something

CCL launches their subglow label with Rebuild, an EP from Bristol club provocateur @georg-i, featuring remixes from Metrist and the elusive B. McQueen.

After years of lighting up the dance floor at subglow and serving as a cornerstone in club sets, Rebuild is finally getting an official release to the public. georg-i’s previous releases on Perko’s FELT and aya & BFTT’s YCO imprints have established him as an incendiary club constructor probing the fringes of contemporary dance music. The release will be accompanied by poetry from subglow co-conspirator and artist Nadia Marcus, co-founder of Berlin experimental publishing platform TABLOID Press.

Informed by the restlessness of living in an apocalyptic present and the desire to rebuild the broken systems surrounding us, Rebuild is influenced by math rock's feverish and cataclysmic energy, eschewing conventional club BPMs in favour of dizzying tempo trickery and polymetric wizardry. “Torn In Two” gets off to a slow, chugging start, with raucous synths riffing over emphatic drums, but soon swirls into a juddering, pointillistic frenzy. “Bridging The Gap” is a cathartic shout, an acidic crescendo whose triplet meter offers tempo-transitioning opportunities for adventurous DJs who don’t mind a bit of maths. “Communication” gallops along cathartically through ricocheting synths and drums, unfolding into a thrilling breakdown. On remix duties, B. McQueen re-imagines “Torn In Two” as a sultry, dubbed-out roller, charting groove across a heady plain, while Metrist’s ambitious rework of “Communication” amps up the tension and primes it for a peak-time dancefloor sometime in the next millennium.

We’re pretty used to ruthless but wonderous dancefloor weapons emerging from Sneaker Social Club these days, but even by their undeniably high standards, this four tracker from London producer Beton Brut is pretty special.  Following up on appearances on Plasma Sources and Coyote Records, he gets to work across four very different slices of atmospheric brutality.  Opener ‘4x4’ boasts rasping handclaps, bass stabs and deep kicks, like ‘Pulse XY’ on steroids, before ‘Tobacco Earthworm’ spits out its wonderfully chewed up, stop/start sparse grooviness.   Our favourite has to be MC-sampling ‘ESTLDN’, all apocalyptic, minimal weightless, before ‘Booters’ offers Eski-esque string drama and bass end pugilism, again with tightly edited MC snippets for extra punch.  A name to watch, on a label you’re doubltess already monitoring like a hawk.  Brut-al.

@sepehr-a @specrecords
First time I came across SPE:C was through Sepehr’s elegant chugger « Roll the Dice », I’ve now had the opportunity to do my own take on it, very much inspired by 2010s techy dubstep from the likes of Asusu, Fureshu, A Made Up Sound, etc …channeling milimalism and nostalgia. 
Also on the remix pack is Jasmin’s halftime groover remix of my track « Calibre » part of the Take a Sip EP I did on SPE:C last year
