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.

Spring

Keplrr X Human Resources - Spring (PDCOLLAB001)

Leeds-based Phasmid has garnered a fierce reputation for unique, hard hitting productions in recent years. An eclectic DJ & producer of breakbeat, electro, and trance amongst a wide range of other sounds, he has become known for his distinctively clean-cut, bass-led signature - both in his own tracks and that of his label Taipan Trax.

His mix for Filth Inc. begins with percussive leftfield bass and breaks, moving into more progressive, trancey sounds in the second half.

Jubby (Vice Versa Remix) [Forthcoming Sonic Fiction Recordings]

This song always felt like flying on a space ship to me since I was a kid riding my bicycle as fast as I could to it. Amazing. 

Concord Dawn - Slinky (2003)

The pages were old and dusty as he began to flick through the dirty old book. The writing was scrawled and jumbled, it required concentration to amass the tone of speech and the wording. It was written in present tense, an unusual sort of expression given the date of such an old artefact. The library was deadly quiet, the sound of a pin drop could be heard amidst the turning of pages and the occasional shuffle of feet. This place was old an haunted, much like the material which lay within it. He'd always been drawn to the creepy allure of the grand hall, ever since he was young he'd been different. 

Electroménager is back with a new EP from Porter Brook, a deep moody affair with a punchy remix from up and comer De Grandi who is attracting the eyes and ears of the electronic music community at present.
