BAD GIRLS

Embodying the mutant nature of club music in the modern age, Cocktail Party Effect comes bowling into Sneaker Social Club with a taut, wiry sound which joins dots and melts barriers at will. 

The brainchild of Charlie Baldwin, who previously recorded as Kasket, Cocktail Party Effect has been forged over the past six years through heavy bursts of sound design anchored by soundsystem dynamics veering between 140 and 160 tempo zones. From 2020’s self-titled LP on Tectonic to drops on Osiris, Cold, Transfigured Time and more, Baldwin’s deftly avoided allegiance to any specific scene and instead deployed shock-inducing gear for DJs with fortitude to test on their crowds. 

On SNKRX010 the commitment to physicality is prevalent across all four tracks, veering from the deadly broken beat barbs and artful fills of ‘Racka’ to the splintered breakbeat rushes and stop-start aggravation of ‘C.A.T.C.R’. ‘Grims8’ is perhaps the purest manifestation of the Cocktail Party sound though, all monochrome rigour with the contrast turned way up, powered by steely, gleaming rhythmic impulses and writhing with dense layers of sonic matter. Watch out for the glutinous bass snarl of ‘58bethe7’ though, which slams in sideways with an unabashed rave instinct crushed through a post-modern production lens. 

Baldwin may be operating on his own terms, but on this 12” he demonstrates versatility to match his originality, resulting in four inventive dance destroyers tooled to bridge between styles, sets and scenes.

Legendary club producer Mall Grab of Steel City Dance Discs has teamed up with Vv Pete & Trackwork to release a huge remix for Vv’s explosive 2022 hit ‘Frauds’. Mall Grab’s raw energy and hard hitting percussion backs Vv’s delivery whilst running through a series of syncopated rims, sub & tambourines.

In 2022, in their review of the Chloé Robinson and DJ ADHD ‘Steamin’ EP, Resident Advisor predicted that “we'll be hearing from Chloé Robinson for summers to come…” This summer that predication is set to come true as the Pretty Weird label founder, DJ and producer Chloé Robinson once again teams up creative partner and fellow club-sounds tour-de-force DJ ADHD on a collaborative new EP set for release on fabric Originals this September. 

Individually and together, Chloé Robinson and DJ ADHD are becoming one of the most formidable and creative pairings in the electronic music circuit today. Adding to a string of successful releases and collaborations, today [16.08.23] they announce a brand new EP set for release on fabric London’s imprint for original club orientated music, fabric Originals. 

Dream EP is a dedicated and detailed collection of sounds that melds an enthralling blend of their signature polyrhythmic techno, electro, UK garage and more, cementing the artists as multi-skilled producers with an array of sonic strings to their bow. Primarily though, at their heart, these tracks simply lace together enthralling, dancefloor oriented club-music bliss. Three collaborative tracks from the pair plus one solo track from DJ ADHD make up the project, with the new track ‘Get Me’ out today to mark the announcement. 

With previous releases and collaborations like Chloé’s production debut on the EP Steamin’, which included the Four Tet remix of ‘Pax’, and subsequent explosive tracks like the ‘Get In The Bin’ featuring Nikki Nair, the duo have made a considerable impact with their productions, seeing in rave reviews from publications like Resident Advisor, DJ Mag and Mixmag. Now, the duo are back with a four-track EP that omits rhythm, textures, flavours and vocals that bring us straight back into no-frills dance floor bliss.

"It’s always been a dream to work with fabric as a label, years and years before my production journey had even begun! I consider the establishment my family and have had a close relationship to the venue and team for over 10 years, I’ve even curated a few events there which is incredible. To now be following up with my very own EP on the new fabric Originals series leaves me speechless. DJ ADHD and I are sitting amongst some major pioneers in the game regarding roster and we’re both extremely happy with the music and the finished product. The tunes are bouncy, fun and a great representation of our sound! Thank you team fabric for having us on board and I’m absolutely buzzing to share this with the world!" - Chloé

"After nearly a year since our debut release together I’m super happy that our second EP is coming out on fabric Originals. We’ve been sitting on these tunes for absolutely ages and it’s great that they are finally seeing the light of day on such a sick label." 

"This whole EP has been a staple in our sets across the world and has been getting loads of love, so getting it into the hands of the people is super exciting!" - DJ ADHD
