Its official: spring has sprung, bringing with it a new offering from Allergy Season, “Split Wig”— 4 brain-rattling, breakbeat-laden tracks by OSSX.

Already known for a slew of self-released edits, the duo take things to head-clearing heights with their debut EP of original tracks. Experience de- and re-constructing tracks for dance floor efficiency is on display across these ecstatic, bottom-heavy cuts. Essential gear from two club-wise voices.

There’s an air of mysteriousness surrounding Bing. Originally landing in our inbox as a package of demos, the music immediately made a question pop into our heads: who is this person?

‘Silent Talking / White Divide’ is Bing’s first offering for Intercept. The hyper-detailed production style, combined with spacious vocal chops, bubbly synth work, and rumbling basses, make for a striking contrast that feels at home somewhere between head-in-the-clouds breaks and earthbound techno.

The two tracks showcase just that. A-side ‘Silent Talking’ is the dreamy sibling of the two. Light-footed, airy grooves are combined with melodic lines that float between the groove, never truly landing, keeping the dancer moving forward in upward momentum. The track has gotten a special ‘Silence’ treatment by one of Intercept’s first artists: French II

With ‘White Divide’, Bing takes you back to the ground again by using trip-inducing rhythms and synths to shake you at the core, resulting in a bodily experience that shows that Bing has ambition not to only make music that’s memorable by the ear, but also by the senses.

So who’s Bing? Someone to surely keep an eye on for the upcoming years.

PREMIERE: Bing - Silent Talking [Intercept]

DJ Swagger, DJ ÆDIDIAS - Psycho in Da Cut [CUT EDIT]

The imprint from Turin celebrates its second birthday with Flex003, a compilation featuring ten tools from new, up-and-coming and established artists from around the globe.

Ranging from 90 to 160+ BPM, the release encompasses multiple aspects of experimental club music such as dancehall, drum’n’bass, leftfield techno and broken beats sounds.

The compilation kicks off with a bass post-club experiment of ‘Gain XP’ from Bladeblanc, which leads to the combination of broken beats and atmospherical sound design of ‘Wonder’ from AYLN. Follows ’East Wing Oslo House’, the new techno-adjacent-mutant-club contribution from Ikävä Pii, and ‘Scamming’ from Lighght with its psychedelic vocals and pitch-shifting percussions. To close off the first side of the album we find the leftfield techno of Alec Pace’s ‘Ghost Money’ with its syncopated bass and mysterious vocals. Opening the second half the compilation is Honeydrip with her new work ‘Wake the Phone’, characterised by a bouncing beat and a 90's feel, followed by ‘Sentimento’, the quirky and hypnotic interlude signed by BLCKEBY. Hassan Abou Alam then brings the listener into a distant world with his glitchy robotic tool titled ‘Freeze’. The BPM then shifts up for an explosive ending where club-driven percussive rhythmics blends with d’n’b excursions in ‘Day After the Last Day’ from Diessa and ‘Rek’ from NORA DRUM.

Flex003 is available on all platforms starting from Friday 3rd June 2022.

Ghost Money

Alec Pace - Ghost Money

Little to nothing happened in this part of the world; even the tiniest disruption or the most trivial situation became the talk of the village. You couldn't trust people not to talk, entertainment and gossip were thin on the ground, they needed something to keep their minds busy. Aside from the cluster of shops and the village hall, a railway track slithered through the centre; each route took you to bustling towns and cities which felt a world away from their reality. But it represented a path to somewhere else; an option to explore new places, meet new people and see new things, if they wanted to that is.

PROGRAMM_LDN are back with another two-tracker of sound-system influenced electronics, this time from Swedish producer and Terrorhythm alumni Mod Sens. Taking a collaborative approach to the EP, label bosses Will and Julian helped steer the producer into new musical realms, where he blends elements of techno, UKG and dubstep. The record is a personal journey inspired by a sense 0f growing and advancing which, in relation to the sonics on the two tracks, Mod Sens describes as 'moving somewhere and progressing'  which is 'really what brings the single and EP together.'

PREMIERE: Mod Sens - Highspeed Rail [PROGRAMM]

Following his Hollow EP for Plastician’s Terrorhythm label in 2020, Swedish producer Mod Sens teases his upcoming EP for PROGRAMM_LDN with a single of soundsystem-influenced techno. The single, High Speed Rail/Interpret Me, captures the energy of Mod Sens’ collaboration with PROGRAMM_LDN label owners Will and Julian who, through a series of open discussions around the artistic direction of the EP, encouraged him to explore new territory with his music.

Opening track ‘High Speed Rail’ is delicate yet propulsive. Echoes of dub resound through a shimmering accordion synth and bring to mind Peverelist’s remix of ‘Return From the Stars’. But the track’s swerving low-end and jaunty hand drum patters gradually drive it onwards until it arrives at its uplifting, star-studded finale. That progression, from familiar to something completely new, symbolises an important shift in creative freedom for an artist whose music has often been defined by its early dubstep and garage influences.

Inspired by thoughts around how we perceive one another, ‘Interpret Me’ is confrontational. And you can hear this through its restless nature, challenging the listener to guess its trajectory. Contrasts of metallophone arpeggios with wistful brass yawns cause the mood to land somewhere between playfulness and melancholy, while the driving sub-bass that simmers throughout carries hints of anger and frustration.

“A lot of the time, I imagine myself in a vehicle moving forward,” he says, “It’s moving somewhere and progressing and that’s really what brings the single and EP together.” High Speed Rail/Interpret Me is arguably Mod Sens’ most personal and expressive release to date. It’s not the final destination, but it’s a significant step forward into new and exciting territory for this young producer.

Mod Sens - Interpret Me (PRGMM005)

No Sir joins the Faux Poly family with their new EP ‘Voyeur’, a release full of rich syncopated percussion and expressive soundscapes that document the artists’ evolving perspective on club spaces and home listening.

The record leans towards sub heavy broken beats, resulting in a confident contribution to the flourishing NYC Bass scene. Despite being based in Brooklyn, No Sir has already broken ground in Europe with singles on 3024 & W133.

“I started producing this EP at a really challenging moment last summer after I got a concussion that left me pretty much bed bound for a month. During this time I also quit drinking, so my relationship to music and going to clubs saw a complete overhaul. This EP is my attempt to find a space in between the hours spent at my quiet apartment and my return to these loud, dark spaces I see as another kind of home. The title track, Voyeur, was the first piece of music I made after the injury” - No Sir

With In Filtration and Paradigm I wanted to explore aspects of 4x4 Grime and Techno, touching ground on the dubstep-meets-techno sound that's been making rounds these recent years. The result is an honest approach to these worlds, attempting to pick up the fundamentals while incorporating my own sense of merging grime, 2-step, techno and dubstep.

After two tasty records released on Renascence, Realitycheck is back with a four-sided third opus. If the precision of technoïd drumtracks and fierce skills for dreamy pads still infuse in this new EP, there is a straight turn towards british spheres happening here. Ravy breakbeats on « xternal », bass-music percussive grooves on « Big Sur » or skinned garage architecture on « Dem », it's a travel through the many faces of this legacy. Landing in space with « Heavy Mantra », a wise futuristic dub bomb for alien minds, this new record delivered by our beloved Realitycheck sets up even further his hability to craft weapons of choice.
