Toma Kami returns to Livity Sound for a third EP of provocative, experimental club gear. At the helm of his own Man Band label the French producer continues to explore a hybridised style which favours fractured beats, playful samples and occasional psychedelic flourishes.

Compared to the busier sound of previous releases, minimalism informs Toma’s approach on LIVITY053 as he sits his crunchy drums and weighty low-end in a tangibly spacious mix on ‘Amapicante’. Even within a stripped-down context, his unique approach shines through as ‘Later To The Bone’ progressively ramps up in scratched and scuffed sonic interference and ‘Mzecal’ trips over its own fragmented found-sound drum formations.

Livity Sound is a label set up by Peverelist in 2011 as a vehicle for a raw and exploratory strain of UK techno, rooted in the heritage of UK dance music and sound system culture. It has since become one of the UK's foremost protagonists for cutting edge underground electronic music.

San Francisco based DJ and bass extraordinaire Farsight knows how to make an entrance, first bursting onto the scene with his adventurous and daring EP ‘Wisdom’ back in 2016. At the time Farsight's music sounded like it had been beamed from another planet and has played an important role in the cross-pollination of genres we’ve seen in recent years. Farsight has gone on to release on Scuffed Recordings, Maloca and Noire State, remaining firmly fixed on the future of club music. Now his blend of trap, jersey club, reggaeton and dancehall makes its way across the Atlantic with six mind-sizzling cuts for Brakes ‘N’ Pieces vol. 23.

Opening track ‘Triangulation’ combines rolling drums with party-starting vocal samples and steady whistles, letting listeners know we’re really off! ‘Mr Right’ then enters the fray with throbbing subs, ravey stabs and a vocal that sits halfway between fun and outright menacing. The A side comes to a close with ‘Leaving Las Vegas’ a dubstep infused cut of choppy breaks and wide-eyed melodies. A masterclass in raising tension, this track will shut down any club, please use wisely. 

‘Lesser Light’ shows Farsight’s love for bass exploration; it’s looming shadow pressing amongst some of the darkest corners of electronic. A unique brand of grime infused techno. ‘Water Margin’ delves even further, adopting a more measured pace for those heads down moments. The record comes to a close with ‘Fulminous Edge’ and is a reflection of the artist’s darkest material. The drums still have a familiar spring in their step but the track’s melodic bassline is mesmerizing; resulting in a melancholy trance that deserves a second play.

Following on from previous releases on Left, Right & Centre, Pressure Dome and Control Freak, Pluralist joins the Le Chatroom family with his ‘Console’ EP. The three original tracks have been floating around for the last few years, already featuring in many radio mixes and DJ sets and we are delighted to be finally releasing them on a 12” backed with a heavy remix by Djoser (3024).

Will Bowen’s productions are instantly recognisable, his expertly crafted club workouts have already led to regular support from Ben UFO, Re:ni, Ploy and landed him a monthly residency on Rinse France. Drawing from his drumming background, Will’s tracks are intricate and detailed with each element carefully placed and layered for maximum impact. With sometimes 6 or 7 percussive patterns superimposed he still manages to maintain a solid groove where other producers can struggle.

His ‘Console’ EP is some of his finest work, striking the perfect balance between utilitarian drum tracks designed for the club and actual songs with catchy vocal and tuned percussion melodies.

To close off the EP, Djoser strips the title track back leaving a more bare-bones rhythmic section, focusing on bass weight and dubbed out FX to create a sort of chuggy slo-mo DMZ vibe.

@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.

Emerging from the Parisian subterranean, Tatyana Jane’s reputation is well and truly on the rise thanks to regular appearances on Rinse France (where she holds down a residency) and a sound that blends elements of house, soul and broken rhythms, aided by an exposure to a diverse palette of music at a young age from her Cameroonian family.

Almost three tracks in one, PSAUME92 hops from UK-grime to frenzied electro and finally jungle-influenced breaks on a whiplash-inducing trip.
