EYX006 - Entheos

OS Premiere: B E N N - Entheos [Early Reflex]

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.

WZY2.5 (Previews)

Nu Kvlture’s trilogy compilation lands in January with another ensemble of global blitzkrieg electronic incoming.

We’re delighted to share Bristol based DROMEK’s ‘Mistura De Bossa’. His repeated knack for chopping up and subsequently ruining breakbeats finds itself in the form of an 8 minute Skalpel style jazz odyssey, by way of several seminal samba and bossa nova samples and a spicy sprinkle of self-referential sweaty rave culture.

PREMIERE: DROMEK - Mistura De Bossa (Nü Kvlture)

The restaurant was full, brimming with the creme de la creme of society - anyone who was anyone could be found lurking in this dimly lit establishment. Amongst the clusters of suited up business men and their trophy wives, she propped herself at the bar, waiting anxiously to meet the woman who could potentially change her life. If all went well, she'd be rubbing shoulders with this clientele regularly, dressed in the most designer of garments, sipping on the most expensive of champagnes. It's what she'd always wanted, a real in to the high society, but really she knew that, underneath the facade, she'd still always feel like an outsider. 

Amsterdam's Flippen Disks are launching a brand new offshoot, Flippen Bits. In contrast to the main label which highlights artists exploring borderless music that can be listened to at home or played on the dance floor, the sub-label will focus more on functional club music, starting with an EP from Welsh-born, Amsterdam-based producer Maroki. Best served late at night, the future-facing tracks that make up Coldred are full of bass weight and dense percussion, layered over frenetic breakbeats.

PREMIERE: Maroki - Coldred [Flippen Bits]

Following on from Sister Zo's 'Freak Shift' EP on 3024, the New York based artist makes her debut on London's All Centre label with four tension building club cuts. The lead single, 'The Hanged One', leaves you on the edge of your seat with its half-time rhythm and clicking rim shots.

'Arcana' EP by Sister Zo will be released on the 28th April via All Centre - pre-order here: https://sisterzo.bandcamp.com/album/arcana

A revitalised L-Vis 1990 transforms ’Slab of Meat’ into a sub-zero grime banger, DANNN doubles down the drums on a souped-up VIP of ‘Smooch Track’, and ‘MAGIN’ transport ‘Gemstone’ to another plane entirely.

Tracklist:
01. Slab of Meat (L-Vis 1990 Remix)
02. Smooch Track (DANNN Remix)

noRecall - Kinda Squishy [OMM011]

Just in time for the season of air-so-thick-you-could-cut-it-with-a-knife, Ommaya co-founder noRecall is back with an icey haul of season-ready tracks. His third EP on the label - dubbed 'Kinda Squishy' - focuses all of his efforts on what he knows best - otherworldly sound-system music. The four original tracks - 'Blah,' 'Fake a Smile,' 'Squish,' and 'Look Man' - are classic noRecall, worming their way into your mind and feet.

Supporting him are four of contemporary club music's most provocative purveyors, all hawking their brand of high-octane, unrelenting styles for the dance floor.

Mirin Doja, a fellow Seattleite and celebrated high-bpm academic, making appearances on labels like Juke Bounce Werk and Delusional Records, takes the track 'Look Man' and gives it her gun-finger treatment, flipping it into a heaving UKG slammer.

The similarly Seattle-based Jason Code (a Terminal 8 alumni and co-head of Seattle's rising club night Data Club - a who's who of IYKYK dance music energy helping to revitalize the city's scene,) lends his signature Jason Codification to 'Squish,' imbibing it with the energy of a grinning, toothy, ear-to-ear grin.

CDMX's own Octoptic - co-founder of WavaWava - returns to Ommaya after his fan-favorite contribution to Ommaya's Solstice compilation in December 2023, bringing along a non-stop, high-energy rendition of 'Look Man' with enough momentum to break through peak-time in a packed room.

Last but not least, Egyptian club music wizard 3Phaz - fresh off a year of features on labels like TraTraTrax, YUKU, and Low Income $quad - graces the label with his flip of 'Fake a Smile' - upping the pace by more than a few notches and turning it into a chugging, metallic heater sure to find its way onto plenty of USBs this Summer.
