PSEUDUB002 - Vina Konda - Hidden Walking Minerals [PREVIEWS]

Cop it!

Design Default - Eta Aquariids (Sputnik One Remix) [PD10001]

Careering through the dense black of night the ship cruised against a desolate backdrop. They were floating through the deepest, darkest corners of outer space in search of a magical world they'd once been told about long ago.

Quasar was out there somewhere but they hadn't found it yet. On board the crew were getting restless, missing the life they'd left far behind on earth down below. Up here in the murky abyss there was little to keep them company but for the somewhat reassuring rumble of the engines powering them through the night sky.

Looking out from the window at the flickering stars and the wild unknown, it was hard not to feel small.

Walton is a singular producer who draws upon elements of UK bass culture, drum & bass and abstract electronics. This new EP on Sneaker Social Club demonstrates his love for big hitting, punchy dance music with a futuristic twist. This one comes highly recommended.

A menacing roller taken from Coe’s forthcoming ‘Spin Cycle’ EP on GlassTalk - out 10th June. 

South London’s Coe made his production debut last year on Dublin’s Woozy imprint - now making his mighty return with a masterclass in mutant bass workouts. It’s an impressive release which features a remix from 3024/Version affiliate Yak. An exciting new producer to watch out for!

‘Spin Cycle’ by Coe will be released on the 10th June via GlassTalk - pre-order here: https://glasstalkrecords.bandcamp.com/album/spin-cycle-ep

@djgagreflex brings her Sisyphean Rhythms EP to Scuffed Recordings, weaving deftly between weighty breaks and percussive, rolling house across three tracks.

Originally from Seattle and now based in Berlin, Gag Reflex has spent the past few years gathering pace as a DJ in the U.S. with residencies in Seattle, Portland and San Francisco - and more recently with club appearances in Berlin and Lisbon, along with mixes for platforms including Rinse FM, HÖR, and Honey Soundsystem.

As a producer, her work nods variously to classic rave, techno and breaks influences, with a penchant for percussion and dark, oppressive atmospherics. With previous releases coming via none/such, Circa AD and Naive sublabel Naivety, Gag Reflex has gone a long way to establishing her sound and picking up some heavyweight support in the process.

The Sisyphean Rhythms EP features three new tracks exploring different facets of Gag Reflex’s sound - from the intense surge of opener Concussion, to the rolling flow of club tool Spit, and closing with the all-out rush of Valve.

Fresh from the milestone of their 10th release, Kindergarten Records keep their foot on the gas with another collection of percussive sorcery from label stalwart Despina. A titanic clash of the organic and the synthetic, ‘Gravity Games’ crashes about with gleeful abandon, guided by an unrelenting intensity and the sense that every space should be filled, every sense overloaded. Within these tracks respite is rare: precious gasps for air never far ahead of a tumbling return to neurological bombardment. ‘Skin Psychic’ is a tightly-wound, halftime stepper with glimmers of sweetness buried amidst its grotesque, heaving mass.

EMA’s Woozy label continues apace with WZY2.5; a new compilation highlighting 8 artists from Ireland and afar that embody the imprint’s obsession with low-end futurism. Featuring 2 production debuts, this release acts as an exciting snapshot of the talented global community surrounding the label and its founder.

Dublin-based Ambit kicks us off with Act Of Goodness, her impressive debut that skanks on a ‘08 dread-step tip. Fellow Dub PLUS ONE drops/raises the tempo for TRIAL, a stripped back halftime sub workout. Mid Air’s Huna seesaws a techno dancehall/d’n’b lurch with wild exploratory sound design in Lang. More Cowbell’s Eich also debuts with the mid-tempo party bass swagger of INDUCTION. Vancouver’s Destrata applies throbbing wubs and dramatic breaks on a smart 2-step break in Amphibian Barrier. Amsterdam’s Jasmín takes things on a more sinister route, delivering the technoid punk chug of Grumpy Cat. New York’s Sobolik revs up the gears with the playful ‘n’ bouncy hardcore rush of Deadly. WDDS sees us out with Slow Burner, a tense d’n’b roller that itches with junglist rinse-out fervour for a proper finale.

Egyptian artist Hassan Abou Alam delivers the 4-track EP Ice, glistening with unusual textures that glide through several soundscapes spanning techno, breaks, bass and unclassifiable noise.

Things get spooky on ‘Hollow In C#’ as Hassan pairs a reverb-heavy vocal with chugging drums and eerie pads, echoing his mental and physical state during quarantine last year. Freaky but fierce.

Hassan Abou Alam has spent the last decade exploring disparate sound palettes and genres, from breaks to techno to bass. Today, his curiosity is unwavering. Hassan produces music using a hybrid setup of analog and digital instruments, conveying organised but compelling chaos that’s won him legions of fans worldwide.
