MENTHOL [Swamp 81 with Sumgii Rinse FM Rip]

Gimme A Break Records presents ‘From GAB With Love Vol. 2’, a four-track Various Artists EP featuring some of the label’s favourite emerging producers based in Berlin, London, Sydney and Saint-Petersburg. Volume 2 of ‘From GAB With Love’ takes a turn towards the more abstract and leftfield elements of dance music, while staying firmly rooted in the label’s breakbeat-centric ethos.

Basilica is back to finish summer 2023 off with a huge selection of carefully curated artists with the goal of bringing forth our favourite signature sounds of UK style Techno, Electro, Bass and more.

Basilica Blueprints Vol.2 carries on from our debut release compilation to bring a barrage of club functional and experimental pieces all wrapped under the banner of the Basilica ethos - trying to expand on the nuance and experimentation side of functional dance music fit for the club.

Balancing with drum heavy, rolling pieces combined with choppy and staggering beats, all designed to crush through a dancefloor, BBV2 has already cemented itself on the festivals and dancefloors of 2023, playing through Dekmantel, Blitz Club and many other iconic names, and the list is sure to grow.

We hope you enjoy our latest compilation of phenomenal music as much as we enjoyed putting it together.

Rizla Ops - Grimlock

VOITRX 01 RIZLA OPS | Physiker

VOITRX 01 RIZLA OPS | Apparatus

"Apparatus“ is Rizla Ops’ debut EP on Voitax, a deeply personal creation born swiftly amidst the heartbreak of losing a close friend, Ollie Mazgaj. Crafted during a period of introspection, the EP became an anchor, the only thing that felt right in a world detached from the club and daily routine. 

Sonically diverse, "Apparatus“ explores techno, drill, amapiano, grime, and garage, maintaining a common thread of dissonance, functionality, and groove. The title track, „Apparatus, stands out as an outlier in Rizla Ops’ discography, featuring big melodic moments that capture the raw emotions of the artist at that particular time. Despite his usual preference for conveying ideas through rhythm and sound design, this EP marks a turning point, hinting at future experiments with melody and harmony. 

"Apparatus“ is more than a collection of tracks; it’s a sonic journey through genres, emotions, and personal growth—a testament to Rizla Ops’ dedication to pushing boundaries and creating immersive, thought-provoking electronic music.

Tesselism

Rizla Ops - Tesselism [Voitax]

Rizla Ops joins the NHS orbit with his debut EP release 'Aphid' - An offering of functional, mechanical crawlers that hit disparate BPMs and creep into the territories of many genres of club music that predominantly hail from the shores of the UK. The brief collection highlights a generous dose of maximalism and pairs this with a microcosm of jittering, insectoid syncopation.

Rizla Ops emphasises the magnification of the world that lives in between the cracks of our existence through this collection; he examines the harshness as an inevitable aspect of nature with an scathing and uncompromising lens. The steady march throughout is definite; pacey, systematic rhythms are the focal point of the cohesive selection of tracks that make up this impressive foray into the world of collectivized, paired dance tracks.

Really enjoyed this one, blessings 4 the don Murrma for putting on. This will be my last mix before I relocate to Berlin. This is for the Brighton CHEFS, the mommas and poppas, the bleep bloop kemosabes that have helped and supported me through this year, you know who you are. 

We got a lovely dosage of works from Facta, Ago, Murlo, Walton, Rashad, Fracture, Airpods, myself and many more. Check it.
