The venerable Dark Entries celebrates it’s 300th release with Panoramic Coloursound, a triple LP from the Creative Technology Consortium. Traxx, Andrew Bisenius, and Jason Letkiewicz forged the CtC during the depths of pandemic isolation. Drawing from film and television music of the 80’s/90’s and armed with a mighty array of vintage analog and digital synthesizers, they set out to explore heists, vices, and catastrophe. Panoramic Coloursound collapses sound and image into a neon blur throughout its 25 tracks.
While retro scores were the starting point for the CtC, the project does more than pay dutiful homage — these notes are warped and skewed, devolving into decaying digital soundscapes. EBM-inflected basslines pop up on tracks like “Catastrophe” and “A Retro Vice”, menacing numbers that recall Traxx and Letkiewicz’s legendary work as Mutant Beat Dance (a project also featuring Beau Wanzer). “Follow Our Kode” pairs heroic synths with funky bass, striking cosmic chords akin to the material that Traxx and Bisenius have released as An Anomaly. Krautrock-esque guitars slide along anthemic pads on “Beautifully Polluted Sunset”, which comes across like an alien Miami Vice closing theme. The CtC channel corroded VHS vibes while making music for the future. Panoramic Coloursound was mastered by Frédéric Alstadt. The sleeve was designed by Eloise Leigh, and features a photograph by Jason Letkiewicz. Also included is a postcard featuring liner notes, a gear list, and a photograph by Maria Tzeka

We're celebrating the legendary imprint Night Slugs' 15th anniversary on our mix series! Founded by Alex Sushon (Bok Bok) and James Connolly (L-Vis 1990), Night Slugs was initially launched as a club night series after Alex and James met on Myspace in 2008, expanding into a record label in 2010. From then, Night Slugs quickly became one of the distinctive dance music labels of the 2010s as they pushed a hybrid of grime, house, electro, R&B, hip hop and dubstep. With a lasting influence across the globe to this day, the label released career defining releases from the likes of Jam City, Girl Unit, Mosca, Jacques Greene, Lil Silva and more. To celebrate their 15th anniversary, Night Slugs have pulled together the 'Classic Remixed' compilation which fuses the label's past, present and future with artists taking on remixes of the label's classics. These remixers include Night Slugs family Ikonika, Helix, CalvoMusic & OSSX, as well as many of the labels peers and next-gen favourites including Grandmixxer, Bored Lord, MoMa Ready, Hagan, Karen Nyame KG, River Moon, DJ Polo & NKC, DJ Lag, scotti dee and more.

The third mix in the takeover is from London-based artist Ikonika who's a long-term collaborator of Night Slugs, first appearing on the label in 2010 with a remix for Egyptrixx's 'The Only Way Up' EP. It wasn't until earlier this year that Ikonika made her full release debut on Night Slugs with the 6-tracker 'Supernova' in collaboration with vocalist 45DiBoss and is also featured on the recent 'Night Slugs Classix Remixed' compilation with a remix of Hysteric's 'Empty'. Alongside this, Ikonika is one of Hyperdub's staple artists, releasing on the label for over 10 years including three well-esteemed albums. Whilst having a distinctive style Ikonika's productions are never tied to one genre - ever-evolving, constantly exciting. Late last year, Ikonika released the 'Bubble Up' EP which was a new direction for the innovative producer, showcasing a more confident and poppy style with her low key vocals featured on three of the tracks. Debuting the Bubble Up live show at Panorama Bar, Ikonika has since performed live at Dekmantel Festival, ICA and Sónar. Her upcoming dates include a performance at the Southbank Centre as part of Nicholas Daley's Concrete Lates takeover and continuing the Night Slugs celebration at Parallel in Amsterdam. 

Speaking about the contribution to the Night Slugs' mix takeover, Ikonika says, "‪the selection for this mix dynamically goes in a bit deeper, darker, and noisy, especially towards the end. It has vulnerable tendencies. It’s one (I hope) you can zone out too.‬"

C Frame w/ Lara Sinclair - Subtle Radio - 14/10/2024

"A system that's equal doesn't benefit the people that have the power." The Rhythm Section International founder talks about creating opportunities for Black artists and entrepreneurs, Caribbean conviviality and his abiding love for Peckham.

Bradley Zero, the DJ and founder of the label Rhythm Section International, is known for his commitment to his community. Zero grew up in a rich Caribbean culture in Leeds, where he and his family gathered in friends' living rooms to listen to music and eat home-cooked food. In opening Jumbi—the bar and listening space in London's Southeast neighborhood, Peckham—Zero has attempted to recreate this lively Caribbean conviviality. The venue is filled with his own personal record collection and one turntable. His style (as reflected in his imprint) celebrates house, soul, disco, funk and various shades of music from the afro-Caribbean diaspora.

In this RA Exchange, he talks about how the neighborhood has changed in the time he's been based there, how and when his career exploded from local pool hall gigs to an active global touring schedule and why he decided to study for an MBA. October is British Black History Month in the UK, and in this interview, Zero also discusses ways that he hopes to empower the Black British community to start their own businesses and assert power from the top echelons of the music industry. Rhythm Section International has started a touring series of free masterclasses called Future Proof, in which Zero and his team invite guests to teach hard skills on business and label management, how to cultivate a brand and much more. Listen to the episode in full.
