London-born Visionist, (Louis Carnell,) has rapidly ascended the ranks of producers and DJs at the forefront of modern club music. Quickly categorized as one of the leaders of the international new school of Grime, However, Visionist looks beyond Grime and into the unknown, crafting a heavenly opus continuing on from his critically acclaimed "I'm Fine" on Lit City Trax. The outcome is his utterly original take on this comprehensive club music spectrum of the past two decades -- hyper-minimal and brooding while remaining ethereal. Visionist's tracks on I’m Fine sound vast, as if mapping vivid, emotional landscapes. His approach to production is introspective, with an eye for detail and an ear for tension, focused on opening up space rather than cluttering it.

Visionist maintains his own record label, Lost Codes, which while rooted in Grime, is centered around the genre-breaking imagination and inventiveness of his artists (SD Laika, Acre, Saga, FIlter Dread, Bloom). Avoiding looking back in time to recreate the past, now he's helping to usher in the new vanguard. Like Visionist, these artists are creating an identity true to themselves.

On I'm Fine, Part II -- the final EP in a twofold installment on Lit City Trax -- Visionist explores each of the stages of grief; denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance -- coming to terms with loss and suffering by deconstructing and rebuilding the past into a myriad of pensive musical styles. 

I'm Fine, Part II attempts to offer resolution for the grief stricken listener, and closure to some of the problems explored on I'm Fine. The opening track "Eye Try" opens the flood gates. An extended intro, coupled with reverb-dripping vocal chops, a heart stopping reese-bass drops into the tune, eventually unravelling into a plaintive female chant.

"More Pain" remains skeletal and hyper-minimal like it's predecessor "Pain" -- the songs call back and forth to each other. Resourceful as ever, Visionist recycles the same vocal to create a moving, skeletal and largely beatless composition. The songs stays in motion,  propelled forward by a divine choir-like lead and bass stabs trailed by sparse, haunting percussion.

"The Way" starts stark and drops into complex, pulsing bass, tied in with heartbreaking cries of "Without You". While not a Grime track, the melodies coupled with the tough bass, are reminiscent of the forward thinking ethic of producers from the days before Grime's inception.

In quick contrast, "First Love" is a direct ode to the Grime of Visionist's youth. This most percussion heavy track on the whole record yet the emphasis somehow remains on an overwhelming, chopped vocal melody. The syncopated beat and bass drop and urge you to move. This is soon followed by two sharply contrasting bass leads, bringing this constantly evolving track to its peak.

Playing off a UK Funky groove, "Acceptance" once again is a forward thinking take on this undeniably British sound. Immediately the kick drum leads you into more complex polyrhythms between the shakers, low end and kicks. Another concise track, Visionist gets directly to the point. "Acceptance" is a unique club banger, using his own distinct palette.

I'm Fine, Part II closes with "Something Old, Something New", which was Visionist's earliest foray in this manner. Beginning with a spacious pulse, what has become his signature vocal chops, swiftly begin to unravel into progressive, ethereal harmonies. The track culminates with the most direct vocal. "Make me float" rings out, concluding the EP and suggesting a resolution to the grief portrayed throughout the "I'm Fine" series -- a new beginning.

With I'm Fine, Part II, Visionist creates something far greater than the sum of its parts. The record is jarring and undeniably British.  I'm Fine Part II explores heavy vocal manipulation, appropriating samples into powerful melodic tools. The record is an ode to Visionist’s dark musical past and a love note to his bright future.

Whither is fled the visionary gleam?
Where is it now, the glory and the dream?

Johanna Knutsson: „For me, vinyl is the most fun medium to work with, watching a screen or looking in a CD-case never did it for me. I noticed that I never remembered the names I read on a CD, a name of a track/artist on the CD didn ́t mean anything to me. Now when I have played a vinyl record once I can remember how the track sounds by just looking at the label/sleeve, since I have a photographic memory. I also really enjoy working with my hands, I have always had jobs like that (pizza baker, hairdresser/makeup artist and now DJ). It has so far been the only interest that I have kept interested in, and it will forever me my number 1 hobby to collect and play vinyl. This mix is a special after-hour/post-party mix, suitable for dark winter days. This mix is dedicated to Mika who had an unfairly rough year behind him: you are an inspiration to so many of us!”

In the bustling world of instrumental grime, Mr. Mitch’s ‘Peace Dub’ phenomenon - initially a concept aimed squarely at flipping grime’s ‘war dub’ complex on it’s head - has fast become a reputable sub-genre all of it’s own. With a series of his own peace edits garnering plenty of recognition online over the course of 2014, Mitch has enlisted a trio of new-school producers to assist him in re-contextualising four unconventional classics and with it, christen a new series of peace-themed white label 12”s. 

Simply titled PEACE001, Mitch is joined by Gobstopper signees Strict Face and Loom, as well as elusive beat-making trio Silk Road Assassins on the label’s first ever physical record - a body of work that takes instrumental grime even further into unchartered territory. Kicking off with the brooding heartache of Mitch’s fuzzy, emotionally charged re-rub of Dru Hill’s ‘How Deep Is Your Love’, there’s also space for Strict Face to turn an icier, washed-out hand to the peace aesthetic on ‘Alice’ - his beautifully mellow, minimalist rework of Alice Deejay classic ‘Better Off Alone’. 

Latest signee Loom opts to take a deconstructionist route through Kate Bush’s ‘Running Up That Hill’ as glitchy melodies, ushered reverb and pitched-up vocal loops meet harsh, industrial sampling in unerringly dystopian collision of ideas, whilst Silk Road Assassins sign off with their take on T-Pain’s ‘Im Sprung’. Trickling, iced-out melodies and pitched-down vocals are laid over dark, menacing bass rumbles in a tribute to the sound that has already earmarked the trio as refreshingly slick sound designers.

Gobstopper Records are proud to announce their first vinyl release – the debut EP from Iglew.

"I guess my music sounds the way it does because it's a product of my environment. I didn't grow up in a city and there's no underground electronic music scene here. When I started listening to electronic music, it was on headphones. It's only in the last couple of years that I’ve heard soundsystem music in it's intended environment. I'm hyper aware of how effective bass can be because I only really heard it properly recently."

Across its four tracks the EP explores a number of melodic, rhythmic and textural ideas. The synth flashes and silence in 'Sleep Lighter' sit in contrast with the sombre tones of 'Urban Myth', while the clattering percussion of 'Regalia' plays against the enveloping bass tones of closing track 'Cymatism'.

Currently residing in Leeds after a period in Brighton, he has been experimenting with sound systems, creating music which is simultaneously stark and subtle. Iglew discovered electronic music not through raves but through podcasts. Because of this, his compositional approach is based on harmony, melody and texture as opposed to dancefloor hype. 'Urban Myth' is a result of the belated immersion of an outsider into sound system culture.

Tracklisting:
01 Sleep Lighter
02 Urban Myth
03 Regalia

Smoke Machine Podcast UN54

Sonikku comes riding back into the Lobster Theremin's tropical gardens with a flurry of sparkling, arpeggiator-driven ambient jams featuring three extended reworks from NTS regular Mobbs. 
Sonikku's originals apply a drier and skit-length pop approach to synth-based home listening. Building a borderline-saccharine melodic base to each track then upping the sheen with a tropical and twinkling production. Shots of balearic appear in 'Earth Temple', Christmas jingles echo from the depths of 'Diamond Dust', while 'Sky Garden' channels a more direct emotional palette of warm synthesizer heartbreak. 
Mobbs' approach is to allow each track to breathe around it's core strengths over a longer time frame, whilst enhancing and encouraging each element to make it's space and time to enter the track. The shifts and swaying structures turn shorter synth ideas into fully blown journeys that become hypnotic by the end. A soft, dream-like ride into bliss.

Tintagel

Shimmeringcast #84: ARD - A mix for the ages

One of many debuts at Dekmantel Festival later in the year will come from Detroit in Effect aka D.I.E, the now solo project of Tameko J. Williams, also known as DJ Maaco. The Motor City artist has roots that run deep into techno and electro and have helped make him one of Detroit’s most under the radar but influential acts. Records like ‘RU Married’ are classic to this day, while other releases on M.A.P. Records helped established D.I.E’s sound as the artists themselves tended to stay out of the spotlight. 

But this mix will surely put Williams very much back in the headlines: it’s an hour of pure techno and electro heat from the heart of the 313 area code. Quick, slick mixes keep things moving at a real pace as slippery drums and squelchy bass race out of the speakers. Touching on everything from classic Drexciya to timeless vocal cuts, deeper grooves to all out physical assaults, it’s as much a mixing masterclass as it is a real history lesson.

Latency - RA Label Of The Month

The Norman Records podcast returns after countless (two) requests and a whole bunch of baited breath! We're massively thrilled to welcome Australian post-rock crew Tangents to the fold, who have an upcoming record called 'New Bodies' on the way. If it's anywhere near as good as their last, stringently jammed masterwork 'Stateless', then we're all on a Northern Rail hype train.

Tangents' music lives for strange contradictions: jumpy in abundance, it's also buttoned down, the band playing a sort of restrained jazz aesthetic as a tease to those who want them to give in to the climaxes and math rock catharsis. Offering hints of Do Make Say Think, Jaga Jazzist and Ex-Easter Island Head, they're perpetual but never still; in this mix by bandmember Peter Hollo, they reimagine the movements and segues of their sound, effectively remixing themselves into new, unrefined contexts. It's a blast!
