El Hornet Presents - The 90 Second Maximum Compilation

Throughout my entire career as a musician I have had a seemingly endless folder of short demos, lost projects files,
things I’ll get to later but never actually will and assorted other abandoned ideas.
Some of them make up the best things I’ve ever written and for reasons that only the universe can explain, they remain unfinished or forever in limbo.

Strangely so many of these ideas seem to clock in at 90 Seconds and the idea to release a compilation album of them was born. Knowing how many people had mountains of similar short tunes, I assembled a crew of 59 artists and myself, making 60 in total. Each of us has unearthed something that we hold dear, or created something especially for the project. While focusing primarily on Drum and Bass there is other genres represented like Dubstep, Jungle, Breakbeat and Hardcore.

The 90 Second Maximum was initially a project geared around showing love to the records in history that mean the most to me. The time length allowed on my favourite social media outlet is 90 Seconds, and over the last 18 months I have been creating a body of content that is pure love from the heart. Sending flowers to the music and the music makers who have touched me the most. 

Now it is time to showcase some amazing musicians and in the process set free some of the magic these people have created. The compilation features a host of names but some notable mentions are Rusko, Ekko and Sidetrack, Zak Meow, Sadie, Physics, Armour, Kintsuku, Sample Bandit, Nixon and Pete Cannon.

Marking their fifth release, New York-based imprint Artificial Owl gear up to issue the 6-track extended player 'Diskordant' from collaborative duo A_A - a live performance project by Satoshi Tomiie and Nao Gunji...Our pick is ‘Radiant I‘ – a 117 BPM free-spirited dub techno track delving into a below-grounded network of steamy pipelines under the bustling streets of Manhattan. With its dubbed-out rhythms and sluggish soundscapes enhanced by far-out human echoes, 'Radiant I' sounds like a thrilling voyage in which the duo turn back the annals of time.

With his latest EP, It's Cancelled, featuring diffused electronics on the A-Side and menacing drum infestations on the B-Side, Serge Geyzel keeps pounding beats and bass into oblivion. Adepta Editions expertly compiles these recordings onto vinyl and digital media, emphasizing timeless limited editions. While "Take Your Time And Be Mine" deftly walks the line between Plaid-infused melodics and Clark's shuffling rhythms, "Before the Silence Came" features fuzzy electrical sound fields that eventually collapse, while Serge Geyzel crafts his distinctive characteristic textures. With percussive acrobatics and synth strands floating away, "Come Closer" bookends the A-Side.

Conversely, "Renamed" kicks a hole in our bass bins with its rough outer shell that combines parts of MBM and DHS staccato beat work (listen to Man From Mantis on Love Love to compare and contrast). It seems like Geyzel has flipped a mystical switch and gone completely drum focused. "It's Cancelled" ends with an avalanche of glitchy blips and bleeps covering the landscape with rough and funky rhythms, while "Out of Context" continues to push low-wobbling dub limits with rapid fire beats, bass, and distortion.

It's Cancelled is a top-tier EP for 2024, and is a strong and comprehensive collection of six tracks with mind-blowing tectonic tempos, low-flying bass-beats, and magnetized electro-nics. Those who enjoy imprints like Love Love, Touched Music, Analogical Force, and Brokntoys ought to pay attention.
