In the frosty embrace of Berlin's winter, French Berlin DJ and Refuge Worldwide radio host, ophélie, unfurls their debut release on hundert records. We are happy to present “Electric Blue Gecko” as the single from the record. 



Following their inaugural release on the leftfield club music label "Early Reflex," they carefully craft mesmerizing, yet meditative bass music tracks. Ophélie presents her own version of the sonic vision that they explore in their monthly radio show "Therapy Dog". Influences of drum and bass meet the minimalist razor-sharp yet spacious sounds.

   

The artwork was created by Sena Oh who developed the visual style in close collaboration with ophélie. The digital fauna is presented visually through the unmistakable artistic style of the Korean Berlin artist. Whether you're tuned in with headphones or absorbed through pulsating subs of the club, get ready for an experience that transcends the dance floor.

CRTTR is pleased to present their newest format for releasing music.

The CRTTR-CLB series carries the vision of exploring different ways of challenging the notion of club music. For each release we want to bring together four artists who have somehow given us a glitchy feeling on the dancefloor, while digging or in any other listening situation. We’ll be releasing a new track every friday.

So go ahead and listen to the third batch of freshly made tunes from the following lovely artists <3<3<3

Isabassi - Bitter

Pleating (Hemmed Mix) moves It's a Wrap into a darker mood, with subsonic-frequency kick drums and washes of alien sound design building a tense atmosphere. A subdued arpeggio bubbles underneath the surface as the track propels through murky territory.

It’s a Wrap is available across all digital platforms from July 5th.

Bait's 3rd VEP, Out of Step, looks into industrial, mechanical sounds, some of which almost don’t qualify as “dance” music anymore. ex.sses, lloydfears, Ōtone, VCR and gillielove take you on a march where you feel like you keep tripping up. The sound of glitchy, distorted things, being chopped up or smashed into pieces, this is what unites these 5 tracks in a various almost out of step with the rest of Bait’s releases.

A polymathic affair spanning the broadest musical bandwidth, French outlet Lowlife Cartel resurface with ‘Vuota Beatitudine’ - a fresh 8-track VA extrapolating their eclectic approach to contagious effect. 

Draped in surreally murky cover art courtesy of Paris-based artist Léa Bouton alias Absolemabsoluxe / graphic design by Metaphore Collectif affiliate Nicolas Guillerminet, this new release features contributors from distinct mental and geographical regions alike: French-American chopped-and-screwed shock outfit HERNVNDEZ ft. MXSTVH, a hi-tech DnB / raging electro crossover from Mexican producer Jegsaha, BFDM & Tresor alum Jean Redondo on duty, junglistic jazz stunts by Chicago’s KSETDEX, German ambient voodooist Lorica, spectral post-indus from PRESENTE, Italian vibist Alec Pace up with a ragga-informed vengeance and Memphis-via-Mexico style slowed-’n-throwed madness from MVRKMVCHINX. 

Lovers of Southern lo-fi rap narratives will find in both HERNVNDEZ ft. MXSTVH 'Artes Oscuras' and MVRKMVCHINX ‘Shutter' the kind of lo-slung gangsta heat to wake up both grillz-teethed zombies and have these gold-felloed Cadillacs’ afterburners flaring. Hailing from the Mexican capital city, Jegsaha fires off a barrage of breaks-laden fire, processed vox menace and frantic bass onslaughts that go straight for the jugular. Fragmenting the groove down to molecular abstraction, Redondo treats us to a mischievous hybrid of ghetto-tech’y jack and discombobulated post-pop experiment with ‘You!’, whereas US producer KSETDEX welds a smokey jazz piano onto a muscular UK bass chassis on the addictive ‘Gemini’. 

Flip it over and there’s Frankfurt-based producer Lorica dishing out a hypnotic slice of atmospheric electronics, both immersively brooding and unimpeachably uplifting in equal measure. ‘Vuota Beatitudine’, the track that gives its title to the EP, works a distinctively paradoxical strain of rattling floor rhythms and zero-G escapology, in limbo betwixt heaven and hell. Conjuring up an infectious palette of ragga-infused maneuvers and packing massive bass and snare-heavy punch, Alec Pace’s fiery ‘Mantra Separation’ is prototypical dancehall arson rolled into a steely techno membrane. A wide-ranging display of explosively diverse, satisfyingly weird sounds to keep minds and bodies on the edge.

Teasing dread atmospheres and zooming in on microscopic details that bring every beat in every bar to life, Seb Uncles returns to Samurai Music with another deep dive into his exquisitely crafted, cinematic progression of the drum & bass tradition.

Even a cursory glance at the Eusebeia back catalogue tells you Uncles is an artist committed to the storytelling promise of breakbeat culture. His work has been heavily tipped towards albums since he first broke through around 2015, and across more than 10 long-players he's cultivated a strong line in moody, evocative jungle and drum & bass more concerned with world-building and subtle detail rather than aggression and intensity.

Following up on his 2023 LP for Samurai, X, on Undertones Uncles applies his signature meditative tones to a broad expanse. There's a consistent sound palette that leans on the warm snarl of monosynth low end and aqueous pads, delicately edited breaks and crisply sculpted synth percussion, but Uncles moves with dexterity around different tempos and structures within this considered sound world. The overarching notion is one of things lurking beneath the surface — a comfortably open theme to be approached and understood from any number of angles. It certainly chimes with the upfront detail and brooding tension that gives the Eusebeia sound such depth.

There are moments of direct drum pressure, such as fierce opener 'Undertones' with its diced-up breaks and icy chords, the boisterous jungle dread of 'Uncover' and chasmic roller 'Root Out', but on the likes of 'Beneath The Surface' and 'Out In The Open' it's the mellow elements that take precedence over the deft drum science. The motion is persistent and nuanced, but it's achieved without deferring to default dancefloor tropes.

'Emergence' marks a pointed shift towards a delicate strain of techno that maintains the album's sound at a mid-paced pulse, focusing on synth shapes and textures to achieve propulsion with only the lightest of drum parts. Alongside the energetic intrigue of Uncles' sonic choices, the melodic make-up of the track is a compelling showcase for his emotionally ambiguous approach, both rousing and chilling in the same curious chord shapes.

From the half-time prowl of 'Lifting The Veil' to the creeping textures and haunted phrasing of 'Brought To Light', Undertones is another stunning exercise in widescreen jungle. It flows naturally from the rich body of work Uncles has cultivated over the past 10 years while carving out its own unique pocket — a reminder if you needed one of the profound sound bedded into the Eusebeia project.
