For the first release of the 10” series, we welcome Design Default to the Dome with an EP that effortlessly orbits a beautiful yet precisely constructed world. The release encapsulates the atmosphere of his previous ambient works with the energy of his left of centre club releases demonstrating the depth of output this Parisian producer is capable of.
 
On the A-side, we dip into his distinctive approach to sound design with glistening melodies, flourishing through an array dreamy soundscapes on Eta Aquariids. We welcome back PD favourite Sputnik One whose rework ups the energy levels with a flip certified to move the floor while maintaining the euphoria and bliss of the original.

On the B, we are again transported to unexplored worlds on the uplifting journey of  Kagura where fragmented particles collide on the backdrop of uplifting otherworldly atmospheres.

Takama-ga-hara reflects the lofty sacred world from which the name implies - weaving through a haze of influences giving us something beautiful, engaging and unique and following on from a tough couple of years, a positive look into the future as we move towards more freedom, connection and positivity.

Pressure Dome is back with it’s fourth compilation celebrating three years since their first release back in 2019. 

Alongside Pressure Dome regulars we welcome DJ ojo, Flytipper, Elpac and Djuar with their first outings on the label. All bringing their own unique style but effortlessly fitting the vibe we love here at PD. 

Something for every mood inside as we move through down-tempo spooked out steppers and acid tinged dancehall through dubbed out, trippy explorations and turbo charged wigglers. 

Incoming almost 3 years to the dot from our first release in 2019 - massive shouts to everyone who’s been supporting the label on our journey so far! Available on Bandcamp and other digital platforms.

Our sixth VA compilation continues in the collective spirit at the heart of Pressure Dome; here taking its fullest form. The first of its kind in the label catalogue, ‘Two [Is Greater Than] One’ sees a selection of PD regulars and friends of the label put their heads together across eight atmospheric tracks, equally as suited to the club as to solo listening. 

Those who have followed the label for a while will be no stranger to the comp’s first collaborator. Human Resources teams up with London dub techno specialist, Keplrr, on ‘Spring’: a mood-led composition where the impact is contained in atmosphere. Fragmented drum breaks are engulfed by airy synth pads and punctuated by a dancehall-indebted rhythm that marches at 90BPM. ‘Yuppel’ welcomes Noods Radio mainstay Sid Quirk aka Keppel into the mix. He is joined by label boss, Yushh, on a ruminative percussive tool, guided by cavernous drums that fabricate a vivid, immersive environment. With the guidance of Brighton’s Caldera, the journey continues with Süss Choc. The reverb-laden synth plucks on ‘evoke water droplets, and hallucinatory details echo around them to create the illusion of being in a mountainous cove.

Delay Grounds – an audiophile in the truest sense of the word – is next to take the baton. Together, he and Yushh take it up a notch on ‘Telomere’ – a full-bodied club-ready track packed with glitchy chords and giddy drums. A gnarly, Pariah-esque breakdown segues into the track’s second wind where pitched-up vocal chops accelerate it to the compilation’s energetic climax. With the help of London drum specialist, Syz, ‘Fuzbidun’ keeps our feet firmly on the dancefloor. Breakbeats are chopped and rearranged, flitting between double and half time whilst a distorted mid-bass roughens things round the edges, prepping the ground for the compilation’s move to a more inorganic feel.

Bristol don, Forever, joins Yushh next on ‘Passing Notes’ – a groove-driven club track where skittish percussion ricochets from side to side, so palpable it tempts the touch. ‘Crash Bash Party At BUFOs’ is no different. The link-up between Delay Grounds and dance music’s stalwart of musique concrète, Wordcolour, is completely idiosyncratic to both artists: the perfect combination of found-sound percussion and skillfully rehashed vocal samples. It’s up to two PD mainstays – Roy Mills and Human Resources – to close proceedings. A chugging rhythm bubbles under the surface of ‘Sycophantasy’, sending us on a dubbed-out trip before picking the pace back up again.

INTL.PDCOMP002 celebrates music’s boundlessness, sampling different flavours of dance music from around the world and fusing them together to form a cohesive whole. The eighth Pressure Dome compilation ties a common thread between hi-octane drum ‘n’ bass mutations and contemplative slow burners, capturing the sonic quality at Pressure Dome’s core as well as embodying our community ethos. Some faces familiar, and others soon-to-be; some hailing from as far afield as Melbourne and New York and others repping the other side of the pond in Switzerland and Ukraine, INTL.PDCOMP002 connects the dots, both between our international family members, and seemingly disparate corners of dance music. 

Some tracks are left to unfurl slowly, gently but assuredly taking up space amongst more high-energy club tools. On Azie, Ukrainian hardware fanatic Dubplanet X hones in on sound design, gradually introducing the complex soundscape’s every layer over a rhythm that cruises at 100BPM. DJ Durbin’s Defttime and Zara’s Zwer stay on the same tip: the former employing a tantalising melody evoking a windchime, and the latter comprising cavernous percussion and acid synths. On Broken Signs, Swiss newcomer Fels bolsters a dembow-inflected rhythm with a gnarly sub bass, whilst Rinse France resident Beatrice takes it to new extremes on Fortunately: a dubstep wobbler that harks back the genre’s golden age. 

Keeping on the hardcore continuum is Infinite Machine affiliate Design Default whose track Mecha Eden is a glitched-out d’n’b mutation that switches in and out of half-time. On the faster end of the spectrum, he is joined by Parisian producer Trois-Quarts Taxi System with the full-bodied dubwise steppa Sur le gouffre. And with our feet firmly planted on the dance floor, Elsa injects a healthy dose of playfulness into her propulsive techno iteration Left My Feelings, whilst Edinburgh’s LWS and NYC’s Tano embrace all things off-kilter. On Day 7, LWS deploys the mindfuck nature of Fever AM co-head honcho Rhyw’s music, whilst Tano’s Keep Your Distance harks more closely to Ploy with menacing vocal chops and an industrial sound palette.

Beatrice M. - Fortunately (V.I.P.) (INTL.PDS001)

Introducing Pala EP, the first instalment of Pressure Dome’s new tape series and a PD debut from London’s City Kudu. So far finding its home across Manchester’s Access Memory imprint, and Kudu’s own beloved brainchild, Kite Hill Records, the emerging producer’s discography toys with space and rhythm to create immersive environments.

In keeping with this theme, Pala EP is a thoughtful display of the ways in which light and shade can co-exist in dance music, each track bolstered by driving bass lines and accented by delicate melodic flares. Honeysuckle and Jade draw on dubbed-out soundscapes taken from the schools of Basic Channel and SND, both enlivened by the dynamism of tuned drums. The former is haunted by a fragmented voice, whilst the latter is bathed in a plaintive ambience. Connected in their half-time pace, Pala and Twine work to further emphasise the dichotomy between light and shade. The title track’s dancehall-indebted rhythm accompanies radiant pads, whilst Twine represents its gritty counterpart, not a far cry from the work of Livity Sound extraordinaires Toma Kami and Kouslin. 

Exclusively on offer to those swift enough to get their hands on a limited edition cassette, the B-side sees Kudu wear the EP’s influences on his sleeve, offering an inspiration mix featuring music that has fed into the sound of the EP.

Tied together by syncopated rhythms and broken beats, each producer featured brings their own style, tempo and atmosphere. The first release from this new imprint provides a range and depth that reflects Bristol’s musical versatility, from newcomer Syz whose contribution follows highly praised releases on Only Ruins and Brotherhood Sound System, to some of the city’s newest party starters to rise through the ranks. 
  
The journey begins with Syz and Yushh, both showcasing intricate percussion and delicate melodies that roll with energy over subby baselines. On the flip, Mish brings a chugged out, wobbly techno treasure with hints of dancehall rhythms. Mulengasound then bringing the atmosphere and space, perfect for that warm-up transition and Balouu’s playful Egyptian melodies and strong, Arabesque synth-lines close the party. 
  
All five tracks ooze individuality, yet subtly tie together with influences and sounds of a city that naturally nurtures progressive experimentalism. Pressure Dome’s offering is a fine example of burgeoning collective, with like-minded producers set on an uncompromising approach to the broken beat.

Following his debut outing on our most recent compilation, Delay Grounds is back with three bass heavy submissions, each bubbling with effervescent melodies that twist and transform into the imitation of their phonetic namesakes. 

On the A-side, Coruscant builds and modulates with glitching rhythms and glittering synths, leading us onto the storming tantrum of Stompy; both tracks demonstrating the innovative intricacy we’ve come to expect from this burgeoning producer.
 
On the flip, Clatter’s playful yet introspective trajectory completes Delays Grounds’ solo excursion with fellow newcomer, Suze tapping the brakes in their explosive “Heeley Mix” to round off the EP.

Onomatopoeia's inviting digital landscape offers us an uplifting, yet ponderous escape during these times of uncertainty and change.
