Blood (NAT001) - Issa & Roy Mills

We're excited to to announce our next release on Silva Electronics, this time coming from SE founder Michael Claus. Realm is a collection of four tracks that utilize a variety of analog and digital production techniques and demonstrate Claus' ability to create a cohesive style from a variety of sound sources. The title track Realm and Atmos Schematics, originally written in 2018, are entirely "in the box" and showcase an atmospheric sound that includes an acidic 303 synth line. Baümer and Surge were originally recorded to tape in a single take via an old Tascam Portastudio in 2017 and were produced and mixed earlier this year. Surge's driving percussion and drums are equally matched by Baümer's sludgy and drone-adjacent sound design. This release is fit for deep listeners and DJs alike.

SE 11 // Michael Claus - "Realm" ep

This October, the final reading of the Nationality and Borders Bill – known as the Anti-Refugee Bill – will be presented to parliament. If it goes through, this Bill will allow the UK to reject an estimated 9,000 asylum seekers who are currently eligible to claim settlement every year.

Electronic dance music culture is rich because of the people who make it up. Diversity is built into the UK’s roots: it is what enables our music to thrive. At Pollination, we refuse narratives that separate and dehumanise people. Instead, embracing the deep human values of unity, care and connection.

Join us in celebrating the blend of backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives that form the fabric of our scene. As members of the UK’s creative community, we come together to stand against this cruel and inhumane Bill. We believe that the UK, our home, is a place that welcomes all people.

100% of the profit raised from the campaign and event will be sent to Kent Refugee Action Network (KRAN), a brilliant independent charity who work with young people to rebuild their lives after arriving unaccompanied in the UK to seek asylum.

Having remained silent over the past three years, South London-based producer @ozelab marks his return in May with the launch of his self-titled imprint alongside the first in a series of 12-inches inspired by UK techno, distorted textures, rolling sub bass and his trade mark dubbed out atmospherics.

unreleased juno-106 track

Picking up on the launch of Marie Montexier’s Paryìa label with a trippy EP by a.b.u.3.0.3., the second release comes from the Dublin based shooting star Small Crab.

The Skin & Blister founding member delivers three percussive breaky tracks that highlight a wide range of her musical influences. Combining smooth textures with tribal rhythms the ’Flowing with Honey’ EP perfectly rounds off with a bass heavy remix by London based producer Talik, who recently gained attention through highly acclaimed releases on 3024 and Intercept.

Following releases for 3024, Pressure Dome, Femme Culture & Pseudonym Records, @talik1's third EP for Intercept sees her hone her sound even further with two deeply sincere cuts 'Kundalini' and 'Home', the latter featuring incisive spoken word from The Slopes. 

Opener 'Kundalini' delves into its namesake energy, a form of yogic practice and expression focussed on movement and balance, literally translated from the original Sanskrit as 'coiled snake'. This sense of understated power emerges from a backbone of sparse rhythm and growling bass punctuated by assured percussion and subtle murmurs. Meanwhile, lyrical, synthetic melodies materialise and gesture towards this sense of introspective, cathartic motion. 

On the flip things get even deeper, 'Home' exemplifying Talik's penchant for pairing snarling sound design with sincere harmonies, sharpening her surreal, existential take on left-field bass. Accompanied by the lyrical dexterity of The Slopes, 'Home' interrogates loss, belonging, and companionship, a pensive reflection on our times and a perfect accompaniment to 'Kundalini'. 

Taken together, the two pieces further assert the potency and poignancy of Talik's sound, with The Slopes complementing and pushing her aesthetic vision even further forwards.

PREMIERE: Chris Odt - Back 242

After his killer track z50 on the SPE:C 5 year compilation Alex R returns to us with his debut EP "Last Attempt". With dreamy submersive dub rhythms and dank breakneck drums Alex takes SPE:C to new corners of the club on these three cuts.

Crocodiles serve to remind us that, in life, we cannot always be placid. We must use the primal power of the crocodile to fight our battles ahead.
