It's probably no exaggeration to say that the abstract, entertainingly confusing, James Holden-esque sound was quint-essential and defining for many of us when Border Community was founded and for a long time afterwards. The seemingly disordered, but intentionally controlled chaos permeated all the so-called underground music at that time and gave a boost to gigantic talents. This was also the case with two Swissmen, Mikro Loko and Ripperton as Lazy Fat People, put the best pieces of their careers on the table: the "Big City / Dark Water" EP was one of the most sold vinyl on the label. The track called "Dark Water" was an ultimate secret weapon of any James Holden performance around that time, he often opened his DJ sets with this one. Murky, chaotic, aggressive, vehement - everything that I love about this period of the Border Community sound.
Made exclusively for my "Treadwheel 02" mix, I strengthened things with vast grooves and reconstructed the whole track with a sudden mood switch after the breakdown. I think it's the perfect way saying goodbye to the summer and soon getting ready for colder times.
As always, you can grab it for FREE!

Fractious and Frank Arvonio make their OFF Recordings debut with a super-functional 2-tracker. "Eterea" kicks the EP off with a deep and toolish groove layered with a spacy synth line, building towards an epic break.
"The Phantom Zone" uses similar ingredients, but takes things further towards a trancy direction.

Primordial Ignition is @bruce-zalcer 's debut release on IAMT.  
Ignition starts with a relentless and punishing low end quickly joined with fast, aggressive percussion. Paving the way for distorted vocals and raw, aggressive synth lines that merge into the groove to create an explosive and pumping banger. Intermittent effects, stabs and arpeggios together with strong and dynamic tops create the perfect environment to introduce dark and somber fluctuating melodies that prepare the way for an intense and unyielding payoff.
