Soundboy's Gravestone Gets Desecrated by Vandals, Pt. 1

Circling

Hybrid, mutated strains of rave music with influence from the sounds of Detroit, London and Berlin  – @aquarian makes raw, arresting and immediate music aimed squarely at the dance floor. His sound draws from both sides of the Atlantic, combining Drexcyian electro, old school jungle and UK grime with vertical singularity.  The Canadian born, Berlin based artist broke out with a trio of records for UNO NYC, with his 2014 self titled EP cementing him as an artist to watch while landing him a mix on Resident Advisor's coveted podcast series.

Since then he has released records through his own culinary-rave imprint, Hanger Management, described by RA as "Aquarian at his best: searing club melodrama, built from whip-crack breaks, ground-splitting bass and acrid techno adornments.  Most recently, his debut collaboration with  Deapmash as AQXDM on Bedouin Records has been lauded by leading publications while drawing support from Aphex Twin, Ben UFO, Objekt, Avalon Emerson, Dax J and more.

Through difficult times we turn to the passions that push ourselves and keeps us moving forward. In this new year, Forth celebrates with fresh momentum by presenting our first footprint: 

Forth’s Various Artists Vol. 2 is an exploration of the escapism within electronic music. Curated with thought and precision, we aimed for a balanced and purposeful touch of breaks, IDM and techno among a gritty palette of otherworldly sounds. It’s the second rendition in a series that aims to represent another full stack lineup of artists from Toronto, which now includes: Aquarian (Bedouin Records, UNO NYC), E-Saggila (Bank Records, Summer Isle), Basic Soul Unit (Creme Organization, Dekmantel), alongside Forth collective’s City Dance Corporation (Forth) & TYVYT-IYTYI (Pinkman, Forth).

About Forth: 
Forth is a music collective from Toronto comprising of Hadi Mousattat, Lukas Switlicki, Joel Eel and Mark Hill. Having started out throwing DIY style raves, we became influenced by the city's hunger for self-expression. It inspired us to create a platform for artists to realise their forward thinking ideas on the global stage.

OK. Back to the Limited Series for the 8th edition. Disclaimer: Do not dance in high heels. Banoffee Pies Records welcome another collection of talent with this 4 track drum exploration on BPLS008.

Jad & The joins the label on the A1 with a slow mo meditation full of warm pads and a string of broken beats on “X-Treme Drum”. The A2 comes from Lehults head chef, Lucky Charmz, with a 150bpm drum and bass inspired electro cut. Rolling low subs with a UK feel. Something different.

The B side invites Sid Quirk, who recently featured on BP009 under other alias Keppel, this time with his 88bpm haunting original vocals, packed between dark percussions and twisted soundscapes on “B_F L_R”, on the Hessle feel. Closing up the release, the B2 welcomes back Filip Szostak to the fold, this time bringing a drum heavy breakbeat DJ Tool that closes proceedings with energy and a suited transition for shifting moods on the dance floor. Music and Love. BP x
