Casting its net far and wide, from Australia to Finland, via the UK and Tunisia, One Eye Witness’ maiden VA drop gathers a quartet of the international producers who’ve come to pique our interest in recent months.

Starting with Tunis-based up-and-comer HearThug, who steps up with “Alien All Too Alien” - a steadily pulsatory, 303-marinated dasher interlarded with flocks of pugnacious talk box stabs and rattling drums, making it a proper DJ-friendly weapon for any hour of the day. Helsinki’s Jeku follows up with the tribal acid churner ‘Aftermath’, laying down a sleek, sub-heavy earworm prepped on submerging systems from under the deepest layers of the spectrum with its fluttering melody, sturdy basswork and FX-laden synthesis.

Flip the coin over and here goes London-based groove manipulator Sohrab, entering the melee with ‘Ataraxia’ - a hypnotic slice of stealth mode, Gaussian-blurred dub techno that does exactly what’s written on the tin. The final number ’Surrender’ comes courtesy of rising Sydney-based producer Cousin, who treats us to a tripped-out ethereal riddim making the rounds betwixt the vaporous serenity of ambient and deep dub vibrations. The endearing final brushstroke to OEW’s first Zeitgeistian snapshot.

"Fun with a capital F is the theme of this EP. I selected these four with that in mind, each one also bringing a different flavour of the UK sound. ‘The Loudest Woiioii Ever’ and ‘Phone’s Ringin’ are the product of a few sessions that me and Frazer managed to squeeze in last year. We were hugely inspired by early dubstep, instrumental grime, and of course UK Funky.

For the flip, I thought it was high time to release some of me and my brother’s productions for the world to hear. ‘Club Dynamics’ takes things right up to 150bpm, and draws on Jungle and Juke influences. We round off the release with ‘Pro Perc', a UKG groover to vibe out to, named after the now closed drum shop on Kentish Town Road we’d visit as kids."

“What motivates us as human beings?” Zobol muses. Some might argue that the present day has produced a new culture of inefficiency and burn-out – a world where greedy landlords reign supreme, where broken bureaucracy flourishes and where people have become slaves to the system. But all is not lost. Hope sits on the horizon, and Jon Chmielewski is exploring the possibilities. For the 12threlease on Welsh imprint Haŵs, the undeniably genius producer presents an electro EP that seeks to communicate something far bigger than himself. 

Reptant strips down and warps the original into fresh drum patterns, rupturing the rhythm into a storm of glitches, pops and perfectly sequenced percussion. The result; a dancefloor weapon that shows no sign of mercy.

New York City based imprint HOMAGE continues to deliver raw and upfront electronic sounds from up and coming talent, the imprint released the debut EP from now hotly tipped artist KETTAMA and most recently released the critically acclaimed debut EP from Will Hofbauer. Here we see the label welcome Dublin, Ireland based artist DART onto its roster, yet another rising talent making waves on his home turf and further afield across the globe.

‘Raided’ opens the release with thunderous swinging drums, twitchy synth sequences, bumpy bass and rave-tinged strings to perfectly set the tone. ‘Only The Strong’ follows next, retaining a similarly rave-tinged aesthetic via a hypnotic synth hook, shuffled percussion and rumbling subs while female vocal hooks flow amongst the sturdy groove.

The two remixes make up the B-Side of the release and X-Coast’s ‘Da Vibe Mix’ is up first, reshaping the original with an uptempo trance-leaning twist courtesy of choppy, filtered synth licks, organic percussion and pulsing low-end bass line. Dixon Avenue Basement Jams regular Big Miz then rounds things out with his take on ‘Only The Strong’, opting for squelchy 303 licks and dusty dynamic drums alongside the originals lead and infectious vocals.

London’s Kylin Tyce teams up with the Tessellate crew to release four slick, 2-step tracks including a remix from Moodswing label boss Perception. London based Kylin Tyce is a new artist on the circuit with an ear for ambient soundscapes, rolling beats and intricate percussion. His sound takes inspiration from the realms of early UK Garage paired with forward-thinking House & Techno which can be heard on his releases on labels such as Oldivibes, PIV and Render. You can either find Kylin behind the counter at the London record shop Phonica or playing regularly at clubs in and around the capital where he aims to take you on a journey through both old and new realms of electronic music whilst providing a continuous vibe to the dance floor. ‘Do Your Thing’ sees him join the London based event series and record label Tessellate following releases from artists such as T. Jacques, Alex Pervukhin, Firmin and Aleksandir. ‘Do Your Thing’ kicks things off with vibrant, steppy percussion with shimmering bass grooves and layered pads underneath before ‘Further South’ lays focus on colourful synth waves, luscious vibrations through rolling low frequencies and a sultry sax line. On the flip, ‘Thinkin’ fuses nostalgic, stripped back, UKG stylings with uplifting keys, jubilant tones and an inviting vocal line. Perception who is known for his renowned vinyl only sets and releases on DPR Records, Dr Banana and his Moodswing imprint provides a bumpy remix of ‘Thinkin’ featuring warming pads, silky garage-tinged percussion, and honeyed vocal snippets from the original

The four track release is a voyage through the history of dancefloor music, drawing influences from UK Rave, Jungle and early Detroit Techno. Phyzikal Flex navigates lush sonic textures, poignant basslines and warm, organic breakbeats with ease, all whilst channelling nostalgic flashbacks of the second summer of love.

Now with a steady accumulation of exciting names in their back catalogue and hammering along their stride, Cardiff-based event promoters and label Haŵs welcomes Aloka to the household.

Forks of lightning ripped through the sky in fluorescent colours of purple and white, lacing the aether with bolts of electricity. From the cliff top the sky felt expansive, mirroring the choppy waters below that stretched further than the eye could see. She stood on the precipice and gazed down into the murky depths, becoming lost momentarily in its dark void. It should have seemed terrifying, but for her this was the most magical place to be during the height of the storm.

Four years on from his Time Tunnel release, UK-based producer Brassica returns to Feel My Bicep with Crystal Sea. Also marking the first label release of the year, the four tracker connects the dots between 90s electronica, 80s synth, 70s prog and 60s experimental electronics, exploring the narratives of music-past. Each track on the EP flaunts his expertly honed production techniques with a refined vision, both looking back to his early memories of dance music whilst dreaming of new musical realms and embarking on the beginning of a new chapter.

Label: Banoffee Pies Records
Catalogue Number: BPLS009
Title: Limited Series 09
Artists: Guava, LUXE, Pipholp, Monotronique, Padre Oe
Genre: Breaks / House
Release Date: 10.2020

The Limited Series continues with the 9th release on the sub label. BPLS009 presents a 5 track compilation of stripped back and scantily clad drum tracks. 2020 hasn't been the year for clubs so here's something low key. The opening track "Pitch Control" comes from Guava. A subtle composition of percussive tools and well crafted sub bass, further exploring his sound from previous appearances on Holding Hands and Control Freak. LUXE fka DJ Luz, the Manchester based producer and B.L.O.O.M affiliate provides her debut track "Falcon's Rise", a nostalgic remedy with a euphoric vox and scattered jungle drums.

Part two opens up to French producer Pipholp, his second appearance on the label, adding another broken beat, IDM inspired jazzy house entry with "Angers". A sense of patience between moods leaving you in limbo. Monotronique also joins with "Beat Himself" on the B2, a no nonsense bass heavy DJ tool for that specific peak occasion. More danger after his debut appearance on the Black Label Series (BPBL03) last year. In a total mood change, the release comes to a meditative close with "Wide Awake" from Padre Oe. A collaboration between Pete Lazonby, an artist with a long history most known for his chart heading solo production "Sacred Cycles" on Brainiak Records in the 90's, and Otto Fischer, a Nigerian free-improvising singer, lyricist and guitarist best known for his guitar work with the Alexander Hawkins Ensemble. The track also features Henry Lowther on trumpet, widely recognized as one the UK's best, and the strongest contributor to Talk Talk's Spirit of Eden with dozens of top of the pops appearances with a spanning list of important and renowned bands appearing at Ronnie Scott's to Woodstock. The mood is Blue. One Love. BP x

London label Tessellate drops a VA release which includes four club-ready cuts from Firmin, Karaba, Aiden Francis and Les Ondes.

'Teamwork’ is the first in Tessellate’s series of VAs which will aim to have a musical thread running through each release with this inaugural one focusing on the proggy side of breaky electro. This release comes off the back of four Tessellate outings in 2020 from T. Jacques, Kylin Tyce, Armless Kid and label bosses The Trip, which picked up support from the likes of Peach, Barely Legal, Cinthie and many more.

Firmin is a Berlin-based artist with two EPs out on Tessellate and kicks off the pack with ‘But On Second Thoughts, Perhaps I Will’ which lays focus on skippy rhythms, sunshine soaked pads and pulsing bass rolls before French producer Karaba who has previously released on T. Jacques’ Nuances de Nuit label follows with ‘Vice Versa’ offering up syncopated breaks-tinged percussion, otherworldly cosmic melodies and elastic acid squelches holding your focus throughout.

On the flip, Manchester’s Aiden Francis delivers the vibrant house track ‘Cloud Generator’ featuring skippy, energetic drums, resolute fx which develops wonderfully above the uplifting, spiralling synths while Paris-based producer Les Ondes rounds off the EP with ‘Phase One’ as the celestial atmospheres come to full force on this spiralling electro cut.

Kicking off 2021 in KOC’s teeming keepnet comes courtesy of Roza Terenzi & Fantastic Man under the guise of production unit B’Zircon. 

Merging the pair’s brill touch of trance-suffused elevation and ankle-twisting dynamics, ‘Lazulination’ EP finds the two producers unleashing a steadfast triad of genre-unbound, organic-grown jams out the deepest blue. 

Pulling out a savvy mix of muscular breaks and hi-NRG shuffle, the ‘90s atmospheric techno-laced roller ‘Azure’ revs up towards upper, euphoria-inducing layers of the ravey continuum. 

Breath-hold diving into lush cerulean ocean floors via white sand beachscapes, ‘Ultramarine’ has us speeding up the Gold Coast’s underwater canyons at full throttle. 

Topping off the release is Perko’s crossover of both tunes as one, taking us on a rivetingly soothing, bass-enhanced downtempo ride that shall please both ambient heads and laid-back dubs revellers in unison.

https://scuffedrecs.bandcamp.com/album/scuffed-presents-005

Scuffed Recordings line up the fifth release in the Scuffed Presents compilation series, looking ahead to 2021 with four new artists to the label, and sounds ranging from broken bass, UK garage, rave-inspired breaks, and rolling techno.

The ‘Scuffed Presents’ VA compilations have become a yearly fixture in the Scuffed Recordings schedule - with previous Scuffed Presents alumni including such Scuffed mainstays as Nikki Nair, Dubrunner, and An Avrin - and Scuffed Presents 005 will bring four more exciting new artists into the Scuffed roster.

Opening the release is Austrian producer Awo Ojiji, a longstanding member of the Graz-based collective Disko404 who released his debut ‘Static Flow’ EP in 2020 on Eternal Ocean. His unique interpretation of broken, bass-led techno on ‘Woozy’ marks him out as an artist to watch in 2021.

Londoner Doctor Nick will be a name familiar to those with their ears to the ground of UK dance music in the last few years, with previous appearances on Super Kitchen, Strictly Flava, and Slime Recordings among others. On ‘Squelch’, Nick creates an addictive fusion of classic UKG skippiness with a springy 303 bassline.

Next up is Maya Q, a resident of London collective Co-Select, and an artist whose idiosyncratic approach to production is evident all over ‘Belief’; where she pairs weighty subs and driving breaks with twisted vocal samples and eerie pads.

Rounding off the compilation is Moscow-based Dawn Razor, whose impressive workrate has recently landed him appearances on labels like Holding Hands and R&S. ‘Dreamproof’ is a rolling techno slammer and the perfect way to close out the release.
