OS Premiere: Yosh - Home [Distant Horizon]

For your sake, we hope you’re up for a challenge. An outback jungle where distorted sonics and fast-pace rhythms are the sustenance on offer. On the surface, our dusty jungle appears a lovely haven for every head in the land.

What’s the matter? You look a little ‘Stressed’. ‘Nervous’ even. Could it be that persistent, spine-shattering sub wub? Catches up with you, doesn’t it? Add in an unrelenting 303 rendered rich in resonance. Feeling it now, aren’t you?

How about that in the other direction? Soul-shaking kick thuds, ear-pricking gated vocal pads, tenacious, shifting arpeggiated synths. You’d best do as you’re told and “Put the drums On The Shelf” if you know what’s best for you. See that over there? See, it belongs to the boss. He doesn’t like it when people aren’t Dancing around his Stray Ute. Sure, the jungle birds inside might sound cute but you'll change your tune when it’s coming nearer. Gaining velocity. Gathering steam. Barrelling toward you. Don’t you worry. Or do. Just be ready. Ready for drums befitting a true jungle. Ready for sliding and prodding bass notes; each more paint-peeling than the last. Ready for overdriven percussion smashes; each more sinister than their predecessors. Reverb-bathed idyllic cuts, striking hybrid synths. Really think you can handle it?

Maxy Cozy has other ideas. His euphoric chords will lull you. Trick you. Make you think the belligerence is behind you. Wrong. You’ll be brought back to earth with a smack in the mouth for thinking you’re capable of managing. Long bass notes fortify, stabbing with malice. Innocent-seeming sounds turn instantly unforgiving. You didn’t think you’d get through it without a scratch, did you?

Magnetic. Energetic. Kinetic. Poetic. Unapologetic

Bodhi are Luke Welsby and Olly Howells, two Cardiff locals who grew up with the underground music scene of the city and met in its clubs. The duo have a host of hit edits and releases under their belts, have run a club night in their home city, and are back with five killer tracks for their first full-length EP this year.

Rounds EP is a constantly moving sidewinder of a release, holding back nothing as it hits you with one punchy track after another. Opener ‘SQU’ is a meaty kickdrum heavy club roller that hardly gives room to breathe, making the more sparse title track feel delicate in comparison. The darker elements still shine through with a harsh beat and high-octane pads. ‘Drop One’ is a real heady number with an extreme drop certain to set a dancefloor wild. Bodhi’s production skills are gorgeously presented in the sound design of ‘Solaris’, all atmospheric chords, field recordings and frenetic breaks. The breakbeats are forefronted for closing track, ‘Junction 93’, which explores drum’n’bass sound palettes more deeply complete with an ominous sub bass which growls across the explosive rhythm.

Rounds EP drops 5th November via Shall Not Fade.

1-800 Girls makes his eagerly awaited return to the Shall Not Fade catalogue with a 4-track tribute to the early-hours ravers. With skittering drums, synth plucks and peppers of whimsical vocals, When U Call EP captures a sound at once blissfully nostalgic to ‘90s rave, and boldly forward-facing in its mutation of today’s scene-defining sounds of UK Bass.

Although barely discernible underneath off-kilter synth stabs and squelching drums, Burial-esque vocal chops do their best to haunt the title track, colouring it with both a sense of melancholy and deliverance. On that same note, enter ‘OCB’. Its stripped-back successor is equally as moody yet somewhat more modest with a mournful melody and minimal drums. The aptly-named ‘Start Over’ welcomes a switch in mood. With high-pitched staccato vocals and an up-beat drum pattern, its trancey-tempered quality is not a million miles away from the music of Overmono. Finally, listeners of the EP’s closer ‘Move With Me’ need little more than the title’s instruction as its 150 BPM and pop-adjacent vocals do all the talking.

When U Call EP drops February 11th via Shall Not Fade.

BACK TO WHERE WE ARE FROM

Asystole

St. Nox is an electronic music producer, combining styles and influences from various genres, revolving around UK Garage music. This is the first EP by St. Nox. (Bandcamp gets a bonus track)

Chance

London based newcomer Bartholomew Kind combines deep emotion with disjointed rhythms on his debut release.

Breaks 'N' Pieces Vol.7 opens with the sparse, emotive drum & bass of Memento while Sweetheart follows suit with rolling drum breaks lined with melancholic pads & yearning vocal samples. Sapien Beat takes the tempo down to a 2-step rhythm without comprimising on poignancy. Opening the flip, Would You Do That To Me morphs from a halftime dancehall-inspired stepper into tearout jungle. The breaks continue on the UK hardcore influenced Feelz while Get Well Soon is a minimal, atmospheric builder closing the record with a message of hope.

‘Breaks 'N' Pieces Vol.7’ drops Friday 19th March, via Breaks ‘N’ Pieces.
