Sweat is my third album.  Released on Bandcamp 1st Aug 2016 at https://pytchblend.bandcamp.com/album/sweat

This playlist changes by request, comprising any or all of its sixteen tracks that I enable at will (see Bandcamp above):

"Sketches from the biomechanical heart of England's bleak, industrial North West. 

Come with me now to the subconscious borderlands of sleep and wakefulness. Explore the sensory phantasmata of hypnagogic dreamlets. Feel static-like frisson sensations tingling down your spine. Join me on the journey into the heart of etherCore. "

This song was inspired by my brother’s death when all I wanted to do was give up.

pytchblend - Manchester Riot

One of my favourite friends of old was a tortured crazy genius called Brett Crummett.  We shared so many eye-opening experiences together.  Sadly I found out that he's no longer with us, so here's a montage of us messing about in the early 80s.  The voice and guitar is Brett, the rest is my doing.  I only wish I'd recorded more of him, because this snippet doesn't really do him justice.

Ross Evans - Super Skank EP
Release date: October 23rd

Fresh off the back of his killer “Dawn Till Dusk” release on Mobilee and fast approaching his set for Nic Fanciulli’s A Decade of Saved party in London on November 7th, Ross Evans delivers a highly intense and groovy workout on his Super Skank EP. A longstanding and integral part of the Saved family unit, Evans taps into the imprint’s distinctly underground ethos by engaging with an acutely heady and hypnotic aesthetic throughout his two tracks.

It is the dark, brooding energy that bristles away at the heart of “Super Skank” that immediately injects the intensity that pervades throughout this entire EP. Forged by surges of deep bass, hypnotic FX and heady, druggy grooves that swell and thicken throughout, “Super Skank” is a burning, heads-down tech cut that throbs with real vigor.

“Fade To Black” has a tougher, more direct edge but is once again dominated by the bottom end. Powered by the undercurrent of wobbling, scurrying bass that crawls beneath swirling electronics and tightly woven, sharp rhythms, the track drives forward with unruly momentum.

Party starting Spanish producer Cuartero turns up the tempo and ramps up the heat with his remix of “Super Skank.” Piling plenty of swing and drive into his bassline, his remix is a pacier and more thumping adaptation. Robust 4/4s push that tempo as almost jazz-influenced synth scratches flash over the top to add yet more personality.

Waking Up on The Encampment

Wade - Killin' Us (Metodi Hristov Remix) OUT NOW!

Available here: https://greatstuffrecordings.lnk.to/TTU7

Great Stuff proudly presents volume seven of it’s “To The Underground” series. The series features solely exclusive tracks. Hand picked with only the dance floor in mind. Tracks that will work crowds and elevate dj sets. 

To The Underground Vol.7 begins with Ed Is Dead & Danny Deep’s “Africa Wins“. A cutting edge, wild tech house bomb, that features a raw bassline, which was designed to deliver precise sub-frequencies. The jungle-style african male vocals and the rolling groove programming are keeping things moving forward in an epic way.

Next up is Roter & Lewis Feat. Samuri & DS’ shadowy “We Get Up”. This peak time weapon consists of the perfect club night vibes: Pitched sleazy vocals, a barking bassline and moody chords. 

Stuttgart’s very talented veteran DJ & producer Jochen Pash takes us on a four to the floor adventure. Warm melodic layers, sleek chords and a bumping, finely compressed tech-house groove are the bedrock for “Ya Luv”. It’s energetic breaks guarantee dancefloor mayhem!

Sharply morphing, synthesized frequencies drill themselves through a tight knit net of massive hi-hat layers, while the rocky chords provide the right amount of energy. Hansol & Deep Spelle also manage to playfully inject a bit of hi-tech funk into their “Speaking Bassline” arrangement.

The distinct feature of Sebastian Xottelo & Archila “Egocentric Humans” is it’s haunting, transforming melody and enormous bassline that supports the engaging vocal pieces in the most stylish way. 

Bruno Sox and Ill-Boy Phil are rounding off this fine pile of first-rate electronic music. Their “Do What You Want” is all about the distinctive and intense technotic groove. Horn patterns lead the way through delay-soaked percussion sounds and twisted builds.

"::: Payphone - Darryl Lucas (United Kingdom) :::

The sweet melody of mechanical drones having fun with our conscience. Simultaneously dark and charming. Nice work!
- Paul Carpenter, choq. CA

Built by manipulating simple sounds of everyday life, this creation transports us into a parallel sonic world, which in turn plunges us neatly into a sound of everyday life.
- Martin Girard, this is radio-Canada

Well structured until the fall, in almost hypnotic textures and depths.
- Isabelle Perrault, radio dodo

Payphone is a clever metaphor between the hope of a dialogue and a sense of failure of these tools, which, despite advanced technologies, put us in front of an unanswered call.
- Caroline won, Avatar Quebec

You go into the trance, lost in a connection, free from the wire and the earpiece.
-Boris Chassagne, 60 seconds radio

An Ode to telephony. A mute number, but behind him, embusquée, the whole range of emotions ready to pop up: surprise, desire, anger, incrédulité, fear, excitement, boredom, love...
- Marc Jacquin, phonurgia nova

A captivating and abstract work, whose excellent bill and aesthetic simplicity do not prevent the appearance of a sub-text and several degrees of reading.
- Pierre Vedovato, école school"
