Releases

Super varied five tracker here from Roy Mills. 'The News' is a modern dance floor banger which has a speaker rattling kick drum that anchors everything together. From broken percussion to futuristic sonic elements, this weighty tune has it all.

Blood (NAT001) - Issa & Roy Mills

Record label and collective femme culture return after a year off the grid with a new look and a fresh new compilation in aid of U.N. Women’s Safe Spaces Now. HeForShe x femme culture Vol. 4 brings the label’s charity series into its fifth year and enlists a who’s who of
rising stars across the electronic spectrum.

Featuring artists from three continents and with sonics spanning across UK bass, euphoric vocal-driven banger and leftfield techno, HeForShe x femme culture Vol. 4 demonstrates the breadth of the London label’s uncompromising style.

Funds raised by HeForShe Vol. 4 will be donated to UN Women and will be split equally between their Safe Spaces Now programme (which looks to create safe public spaces for all women and girls) and their Ukrainian relief efforts - delivering on the ground for women and those at risk.

“'G Star RAWR' is the story of Hot Roy Summer™️
I’m feeling inspired by the sun and by feeling warm. Being close to people is the ultimate sense of warmth. Pick up those new jeans and treat y'self. Be kind to you & be kind to others :)” -Roy Mills

HeForShe x femme culture Vol. 4 

PREMIERE: Roy Mills - G-Star RAWR [Femme Culture]

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.

Sycophantasy

Roy Mills X Human Resources - Sycophantasy (PDCOLLAB001)

Coming into orbit late November PS001.2 continues our dancefloor focussed explorations...

On the A-side Point Guard returns to the label with his razor-sharp electro outing ‘Odyssey’. An emotional expedition that harnesses dancefloor euphoria with a powerfully burning bassline. Joining forces to complete the A side is Melbourne producer Disrute and label head Andy Garvey. Here an ever-evolving synthline propels you forward throughout the track that builds infinitely but pauses just to release Garvey’s mesmerising vocal, ‘NRG’.  

Flip the axis and you will find swirling synths and scattered percussion that creates the murky club weapon that is emerging Sydney producer PMA’s ‘Hek’. Completing the release, Roy Mills brings you to a full rotation with ‘Aquatic Pressure’. His jittery breakbeat cut that slows to a half step mid way and returns with odd-ball synth mayhem.  

Tracklist:
A1 - Point Guard - Odyssey
A2 - Andy Garvey x Disrute - NRG
B1 - PMA - Hek
B2 - Roy Mills - Aquatic Pressure

Roy Mills - Fragmented Sense of the Divine (PDCOMP003)

Pressure Dome emerges from the testbed with a galvanized collection of experiments in hybridity and rhythmic fragmentation. 

Mechanically twisted dancehall sonics, tough club steppers and euphorically charged electronics combine to form an ionized trajectory of uniform motion. A bouncing and fractious ode to the wavelengths of machine pressure. 

Wanting to give back to the city we live in and one that inspires so much creativity in those fortunate enough to access opportunity, all profits from PDCOMP003 will go to Community Care Package, a free food delivery service, for anyone who can't get out or afford fresh fruit and veg during the current pandemic. Thereafter, profits will go to Caring in Bristol, a homeless charity providing services and shelter for those most in need.
