The room was vast and cold, decked with floor to ceiling mirrors that reflected the hazy light streaming through the dusty windows. It was clear that this house had once been a spectacle, owned by people with far more money than sense. But now it lay derelict and abandoned, forgotten by its owners who'd left it in a complete state of disarray. Like those who'd once owned this grand house, its history had been completely wiped out; lost in time and space...

London-based imprint Pseudonym Records entered the world at the end of last year with the first V/A release in their Corporeal series, bringing together several emerging producers operating in the spaces between broken club music, UK Techno and DnB. Now they're returning for the second release in the series, tasking a new line up of artists—Sputnik One, FoxMind, Palf, Big Hands and Thodén—with cooking up another EP rife with percussive, breaks-driven and bass-heavy sounds.

PREMIERE: FoxMind - Mirror Bounce [Pseudonym Records]

Sister Zo brings her debut EP to Scuffed Recordings with four tracks of heavy, percussive club music.

Midwesterner Sister Zo has been building a name for herself in recent years as a co-founder of Kansas City’s UN/TUCK label, using her DJ sets and productions as a means of channelling her experiences as a queer trans woman growing up in the North American Bible belt.

Having cut her teeth in Kansas City’s vibrant underground scene, Zo has entered 2022 with a stacked DJ schedule at venues across the US, and making her mark on an international level with an appearance on Lobster Theremin’s PLUR compilation, and recent mixes on platforms like Daisychain and Spontaneous Affinity.

As one of the alumni of the Scuffed Recordings Artist Development Scheme, Sister Zo honed her production skills throughout 2021 and the result is the Screw Cheek EP – featuring four moody, bass-heavy tracks.

From the tension-building title track, to the rolling percussion of ‘Don’t Test Me’, to the broken beats of ‘Fire’, and eerie atmospherics of ‘Inhale’, Zo exhibits intricate sound design and carefully-considered production throughout the EP, marking her as a producer to watch in 2022 and beyond.

PSEUDUB002 - Vina Konda - Hidden Walking Minerals [PREVIEWS]

Returning after a 2 year hiatus, London label GlassTalk return with Spin Cycle EP, coming courtesy of emerging South London producer, @djcoefroms11 (Coe) (aka George Whitehead). The follow up to his acclaimed debut release Radial on Dublin's Woozy label last year, Coe now lands on GlassTalk with 3 brand new tracks, alongside a remix from 3024/Version affiliate @yaksound (Yak). Chopped snappy vox and snips of laughter sit over a volley of bouncy kick and sludgy bass tremors - this is futuristic, cheeky, tripped out electro, prime for a full club meltdown.

The full EP, is a showcase of Coe's affinity for mutant bass explorations, kinetic club sounds and intricate percussion, informed by his first love, Dubstep. Super Natural creeps along at a slower roll with acidic menace, while TORE, a nasty techno dancehall lurker that twitches near to a rinse-out peak, only to restrain itself with patient Half-Time tension. Spin Cycle also features a remix from UK based artist Yak (DJ Mag's 'Breakthrough Producer', 2019). His Super Natural refix surprises those familiar with his previous work, opting for a full DnB breakage session with modern flair. It's a glorious end to another killer release in Coe's small but impressive canon of forward thinking club music.

Spin Cycle title track available from 17th May, 2022
Full EP release June 10, 2022

Freak Shift

Premiere: Sister Zo ‘Afraid 2 Make a Move’

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.
