Bluetoof & Theo Everyday - Spillage In The Arcade

Once again on the Roska Kicks & Snares imprint, we are back in business to unveil a very exciting new EP drop from a returning face we are thrilled to see. Following on from the previous launch of his ‘A49 / Rudey’ EP, we are truly excited to welcome back the sounds of SPD, who has been on an absolutely killer run, spreading a fusion of UK funky and bass music around the land alongside a number of different label projects such as Eatmybeat & Durkle Disco, with some seriously high levels of impact.   

This new project is made up of three absolute scorchers, again treading the thin line between UK bass and funky, combining different electronic elements and rhythmic themes to generate something completely new. We open up with the title track ‘Caught Napping’, an almost techno inspired sweep through vibrant syncopated drum lines and eerie woodwind overlays, all of course wrapped up in a sumptuous piece of bassline production.

Next, a track that leans slightly more towards the UK funky end of the spectrum as the busy drum work and more minimal backdrops of ‘Drum Squad’ are unleashed, causing a highly energetic output to occur, linking together nicely with scattergun sub punches, unpredictable LFO thuds and unorthodox woodwind toots. Finally, a much more UKG-centric sound as ‘Hepcat’ delivers broken-beat drum rhythms, lofi synthetic processing and super catchy vocal designs, all culminating in a euphoria-inducing breakdown that will have lighters in the air across many a dance this winter.

The whole feel of this project is extremely refreshing, with a clear and concise set of different influences all playing their part in pushing SPD’s sound forward into previously unexplored realms of underground dance music.

𝖕𝖗𝖊𝖒𝖎𝖊𝖗𝖊#130 📢 dadan karambolo - a hack is a foul [Awkwardly Social]

Simon Hafner aka Sun People is well known to fans of fast tempos, having released music on labels such as Exit Records, Rua Sound and Through These Eyes. Hafner presents a wide range of music and guest mixes on his monthly Sub FM radio show and is also releasing music and doing A&R for the label Defrostatica.

His latest cassette on the Guides label, titled Joyful Discontent, is a tribute to minimalism, referencing the works of Frank Bretschneider and Mark Fell. The starting point for this release was a JMT VDR-1 drum synthesizer, characterised by its intuitive aspects, its limited sonic capacities and the challenge to stretch the machine's possibilities. This one instrument informs the structure of the album, fixed in tempo, track and total length. Reducing his tools to a bare minimum, Hafner explicitly refers to specific genre traditions inherent in this radical form. Structurally and sonically, the spirit of clicks & cuts (e.g., Komet’s ‘Rausch’) can be heard, as well as influences from dub, ambient and minimalist drum&bass and footwork.

In his thinking, however, Hafner goes further. The idea of interlocking all the pieces, complementing the overall grid of constraints, provides the frame for a playful exploration. The result was also fuelled by intuitive action, such as when a single gesture and decision changes the direction of a process that takes place in real time. When composing, despite the track’s live act structure, he produced recordings that could function as parts of a jigsaw puzzle that can be rearranged freely in any order, thus opening the way for a reinterpretation of the whole. This is also why the album will be available in two versions, both as a mix of combined tracks, and as eight individual pieces that make up the whole.

Despite so many formal constraints, Joyful Discontent still sounds accessible. The pieces produced by Hafner move in the direction of Mark Fell’s compositional approaches, where music is devoid of evoking emotion, rather, aiming for a neutral and non-imposing environment for the listener.

Ahead of it's full release this Friday 26th January, we're delighted to premiere a track from our very own release. An acidic firecracker from @brainraysuk & @chevron.

LL025 is an an 18-track compilation celebrating 9 years of looseness, bringing together familial artists from across Europe, Asia and South America.

The release’s alchemy of tracks showcases Loose Lips’ continued commitment to surfing between rave, DIY and hip hop culture.

Look forward to a challenging, outlandish and heartfelt range of ambience, hip hop, industrialisms, techno, braindance, breaks and electro - twisted and squeezed for full effect.

Special thanks to Olli Ripatti for the artwork and to all 22 of the musical vanguards on the release.
