Human Endeavour Records, the newest member of the Ransom Note Records label family, returns with ‘Confession Time’, its second release and first solo artist EP from Anastasia Zems.

Hot on the heels of the inaugural release, a Various Artists EP featuring six producers from across the world, they welcome the DJ, vocalist and producer for a four-track EP of heads down, mid-tempo sludge that sees her thread the needle between acid, EBM, new beat and cold wave.

With opener ‘Underwear’ Anastasia plots a course into murky depths. The most club-ready cut on the release, it’s driven by a pulsating acid line and rumbling bass that soon give way to hypnotic synth patterns and Anastasia’s sultry, commanding spoken word.

‘Trust Me’ continues on the same note, launching with crisp percussion and hollow drum hits before a warbling sub bass engulfs us whole. Eerie pads and shimmering synths are introduced alongside ghostly vocal stabs which elevate the sonics from the darkness.

The pace drops as we reach the halfway mark of the EP. Potent and trance-inducing, ’Slowdance’ crawls along carried by a squelchy acid line that gradually unfurls over a haunting synth pattern and echoing, whispered vocals.

‘I Don’t Wanna’ wraps things up on a lighter note. A low slung bass line and steady drum beat is met by intoxicating bells that ring out overhead while Anastasia’s soft, heady tones keep the EP’s overall air of mystery alive.

On the inspiration behind the EP, Anastasia explains: “Behind each of the tracks there is a story about something personal. It so happens that my vocals usually appear in tracks during improvisation and most often do not change. This is my way of expressing feelings. It turns out that this is the time for confession.”

As a DJ and producer Anastasia Zems chases a counterpart to her urban upbringing, drawing inspiration from the tribal sounds of imagined rainforests. Her psychedelic, rhythmic productions, which she laces with her signature mysterious vocals have earned her singles, remixes and EPs on labels like Needs, Les Yeux Orange, ИДА, Fucanglong Files and Whypeopledance.

Human Endeavour is the newest addition to Ransom Note Records’ family of sub-labels. Curated and run by Ransom Note Editor, and one half of DJ duo Kiara Scuro, Rosie Ama Cain, the label will be a “space for artists who are exploring the dark, deep and hypnotic corners of the musical spectrum.” 

Tracklist:

1. Underwear 
2. Trust Me 
3. Slowdance 
4. I Don't Wanna

About the track:
Rayne’s psychedelic dancefloor workout “Turkish Drama” slips effortlessly between temporalities and geographies. Inspired by Turkish Yeşilçam films, where sudden and unexpected dramatic shifts were not only welcome but a cornerstone of the genre, “Turkish drama” moves abruptly from splintered percussion and serpentine acid toplines into shimmering violins and kanun (a traditional zither) sampled from an obscurist Turkish classical record in rayne’s own collection. Recontextualised atop ruffneck breakbeats, theatrical string stabs point as much to Anatolian traditional music as they do bubbly UK Garage, delving into deep sonic undercurrents running through Istanbul, Berlin and London, with rayne amping up the intensity with each unexpected shift.

A1  Phasic Reflex [08:10 - 132 BPM]
A2 MS Plenty [05:00 - 132 BPM]
B1 A Realist's Realistic Reality [05:44 - 134 BPM]
B2 A Realist's Realistic Reality (Roza Terenzi's Realism Remix) [07:01 - 112 BPM]

Expert in trippy joints and knee-buckling bounce, OZ-based producer @reptant_the_lizard is back with a vengeance after an array of choice outings on the likes of Salt Mines, Planet Euphorique and Craigie Knowes. No warm-up lap needed, 'Phasic Reflex' may start as a tycho-esque daydream, what's bred in the bone comes out in the flesh. A pure adrenaline rush of vogue-ing 303, hi-voltage electro and intricate drum programming, this one has dancefloor ripper written all over it.

Keeping the tension up to hazardous levels, 'MS Plenty' zones out to a Detroit-style elixir of arpeggiated seesaws and pong-indebted, body-jacking pep. As its title suggests - or not, the B-side opener 'A Realist's Realistic Reality' clearly lies closer to a cyphered Dick-ian parallel world full of binary bleepin' and swirlin', post-kosmische infused riffs and tentacular Arpanet-style modularity, which @roza-terenzi alters into a lo-pressure dub expedition - better tasted at sunrise, feet buried deep in the sand and your hazy mind draped in the cosy folds of a cheerful seaside sloth with friends.

Seven Hills Records 000 is on the way ! Forgemasters - Skies Over Sheffield. Yes, that Forgmeasters 😱😱

After recording the titular track with Sean Maher in 1990, Skies Over Sheffield received frequent airtime from Winston Hazel on legendary Sheffield pirate radio station SCR. An upload of a show where Winston plays ‘Skies’ amongst a number of other early classic 90s dance records can be heard on YouTube: https://youtu.be/MVeKvTgVCdY Only ever released on tape (and considered a lost bleep & bass gem) we’re giving this one the full pressing and remixing treatment it deserves. 2 years in the making (or 30 depending on how you look at it). 

One lost classic, three upfront remixes; courtesy of Steel City affiliates: Luca Lozano, 96 Back and John Shima.

Inner Zone (Rupert Worthington, Alex Anderson and label head Nic Baird) round things off with their debut release Niaaru - a sunrise weeper for those who like breakbeats with their Coco Pops.

Various Artists - Cosmic Bubbles EP (SL001)

The next release in the Phonica Special Edition series comes from Ukrainian duo Asyncronous who first came to our attention after hearing their critically acclaimed debut on Berlin label Slow Life, ‘The Art of Fighting In A Dream’. A Phonica favourite, it provided the soundtrack to many days in the shop throughout the year, culminating in its inclusion in our top ten Best Singles of 2019! 

The Phonica Special Edition series is focused on one-of projects, special remixes or collaborations, highlighting music that is slightly left of the dance floor and pairing it with unique artwork. 

The result on this EP is a hazy cosmic trip through their universe of synth swells, deep sub-bass and meticulous percussion. The journey begins on our featured track: ”Padma Kirtanam”, with a constant drone providing the backbone to a building tension scattered with drums.
