Bottoni - Raster

Iggy Dope’s EtherwerkZ label continues its higher assembly of bass futurists with the third Ascension compilation. Volume 3 scours the globe to find Mulholland, Mercy System, Flaty, Oyubi ,Warzou, NirBorna, Young Muscle and noRecall in finest form, cross-examining variations on the theme of broken club rhythms and meticulous sound design.

Mulholland opens with the whirling psychedelic chug of Skab_t, gurgling wry with the faintest dembow touch. Manchester’s Mercy System goes deeper with Pressure Changes, cloaking a neatly sound designed redux of hardcore inclinations with a gentle bruk’d rhythm and light dub touch. Moscow’s Flaty goes proper wayward with Moth, a chromatic half stepper that wobbles weird into the furthest lucid interzones. Tokyo’s Oyubi swings a disassociated 2-step lurch on ALEXDUB, locked-in to its hypnotic core. Lyon’s Warzou bounces looser with Phantom Currency, a tight LFO’d jaunt of ghoulish dynamics. Tokyo calls again with NirBorna, Antenna Helix’s sleek broken beat building taut around skittering drums and atonal melodies. Detroit’s Young Muscle goes large with the industrial-sized breaks of Hard Rain Falling, an ever-evolving kinetic bass romp through the tough and pump. Seattle’s noRecall snarls quicker with 972024, a mutant half time future-shock of alien textures that typifies the feeling present throughout

Ascension Vol. 3’s duration; one of an upward trajectory in motion through experimental sound but certified sub-club feeling.

Fear Of Silence VA-1

Monibi – Palermo [Low End Therapy Records]

3 original glitched out heavy pieces of beat science by Valencia’s own Pépe with an additional remix by our Bristol based friends Elpac & Mulholland. Equal parts razor sharp and slime-covered, these four Cosmic workouts explore the intersections between Grime, Electro, Breakbeat and IDM. Guaranteed sound system wormholes with this one!

Nightlife Under The Arclight

I made “Vroom Vroom” after a trip to Guatemala where I made a bunch of field recordings and collaged them together in this track. Some of my closest friends and fam and I spent ages in front of a Maya pyramid in Tikal, clapping and listening to the weirdest echoes bounce back and that’s what you can hear in the track. It was also insanely humid and hot in that jungle, an oppressive atmosphere i’m reminded of in “Vroom Vroom”.

Monibi – Vroom Vroom [YUKU]

"It feels like at the moment, we're lost in the long dark tunnel. Plenty of dance music seems to operate in a revivalist form, within a regression cycle, it's hard to pinpoint the exact sound of "now" without it referencing other points in history.

"We're trapped in 20th century culture on higher definition screens", poses Mark Fisher in a seminal lecture, and thus, exposes Berardi's concept of the Slow Cancellation of the Future. "Nothing ever really dies, but that's not good". In 1992 it was impossible to imagine the shape of music 6 months into the future, so why are we now constantly going back to these genres?

My aim with this release was to try and participate in the legacy of the Hardcore Continuum within the sonic context of the current world. A hyper-online, overstimulated landscape where our attention is constantly invaded by notification after notification, stimulus after stimulus. I try to materialise this by reshaping sharp noise into pulse, genre staples like the breakbeat get torn apart and forced into a brand new skeleton, and riot-invoking grime chants are repurposed into music set for a bleak now. Jungle, Dub, Grime, Garage, they are all present here, but the heavy gravitational pull of their legacies presents to me as a black hole I've tried to encapsulate in this EP.

Why is the future vanishing?"
