Geotact:
‘chosen for ornament, stone matched with stone’

Fiesta Soundsystem and XMTR bring you GEO01, First Colour, the inaugural release on their new label, Geotact. Equal parts tender and visceral, mixing impressions of the ‘natural’ with the intrinsic artifice of electronically produced sounds.

The EP kickstarts a project that has been in the works for two years, from which more music in a variety of styles will be emerging in the near future...

The Whole Place Was Crawling (Excerpt) [RENT014]

Uncompromising soundsystem advancer Mars89 is the kind of artist who reframes the rave tradition with every release. That makes him the ideal candidate for Sneaker Social Club, where we love slinging bassweight sonics into the far reaches as often as possible. 

Based in Japan and active beyond the confines of his studio, Mars89 has made a sizable impression in just four years of releasing a handful of records. Bokeh Versions carried his first releases, while he’s gone on to soundtrack a VR experience for the label more recently. He’s also collaborated with Jun Takahashi’s Undercover fashion label, appeared on Flore’s POLAAR label and played an important role in coordinating protest raves in Shibuya. 

There’s a stark, stern heaviness to the Mars89 sound which leaves its mark from the first surge of dread bass. It hits with a primal urgency which calls to mind early grime instrumentals, but there’s also a touch of industrial clank and subliminal avant-garde notes lurking behind the foreground pressure. ‘Night Call’ stalks on a thunderous kick and pitch-black string stabs, while ‘Vigilante’s nervous refrain is underpinned by massive subs and an 808 cowbell turned into a musical instrument. On the flip, ‘North Shibuya Local Service’ ups the angular intensity with an interlocking barrage of claps, snaps and lock-ons, and ‘Aeropolis’ edges towards outright rave with its slithers of squashed breaks, 4x4 kick runs and a disheveled synth hook. 

Even on the more forthright B side though, Mars89’s palette is so lean you can pick out every individual element. There’s no fat to be found anywhere on the record, ensuring every part lands with presence and purpose. You can somehow link the sound back to UK soundsystem culture, but there’s a necessary individuality at work here, which we’re beyond proud to platform and press up for the dance.

Following a short break, Virtual Forest Records are back with a 6-track EP by Fluid Matter (@fluidmatter), one of the three label founders.
Located on the more bassy side of their universe, Fluid Matter operates here between territories of leftfield bass, post-dubstep, and electro with hints of techno and UK Funky. A release definitely darker than most, deeply rooted in club aesthetics and dedicated to showing specks of light shining in the murkiest night.

Tracklist:
- Glowworms
- I Can Hear Your Voice
- Slug On My Chair
- Looping Thoughts 
- Looping Thoughts (Qant Remix)
- Glowworms (Solma Remix) 

All tracks written and produced by Fluid Matter
Remixes by Qant and Solma

Elphin – Replaced [DV Premiere]

Monotoronique (Banoffee Pies, Opal Tapes) supplies a statement of intent for the next mutation of Branch Points. 

Hailing from the Ukraine, Montronique dispatches two sparse, clinical and brutal cuts that embody the spirit of the record.

'Incoming Signal' is flipped by the prolific Pugilist (3024, Whities, Modern Hypnosis) who brings his signature rolling percussion and sound signifers from the Hardcore Continuum.

Gaunt (Not So Much, Mistry) delivers an other worldly remix of 'Spiral Mind' in only the way Gaunt can to close out BP002.
