6 Years Of Shall Not Fade LP

Sink The Ship

Based in San Francisco, California, Farsight has firmly established himself as a name to watch in the past five years, with releases on labels like [Re]sources, Prjkts and Scuffed exhibiting his deftly-blended melting pot of club music influences.

‘Renegade’ is his second release on Scuffed following 2019’s Oaktown EP, which picked up support from the likes of HAAi, Jaguar and FAUZIA.

Farsight sets out a clear statement of intent on title track ‘Renegade’, with his own vocodered vocals delivering immortal lines like “best beats in the biz coming atcha”, backed by anthemic rave stabs, weighty 808s, and raucous breaks.

Up next is ‘Tied Hands’, a skippy, broken beat roller which sees Farsight skilfully build and layer syncopated vocal chops as the track progresses; before returning to time-honoured UK rave influences on B-side ‘Until Next Time’.

Closing out the release is a remix of Renegade from one of the most exciting talents in the new wave of UK garage, Interplanetary Criminal.

Step Ball Chain continues to shake the system and flip the skritch with its third offering via MYKI’s follow up solo release “Delenya”. The undeniably intriguing Tel-Avivian Producer & DJ, also part of the Tofistock label family and member of Shen band, shares a consensual glimpse into his fevered brain over the course of a spellbinding week. Progressively exposing sensations rooted in paranoia and isolation of recent dystopian life, the EP is sonically metamorphosed into conscious expanding club explorations, percussively advanced and masterfly frenzied dance tools for the globe's memorable dance floors. With an additional likeminded remix from label-head Roza Terenzi, the 4 tracks embody a staunch riot signalling the optimistic restoration of movement and ferocity, highlighting the crucial role and release these sentiments provide. 

Establishing the overarching atmosphere, Vertigo opens with a humble vigor; the commanding clunk of bassline leading the way for the solid stride and dynamic rhythmical transit Myki specializes in. Strictly snapped snares in conversation with auxiliary percussion and textural vocal splinters, the personality and flair that continues evidently through the release, alongside the subtly encompassing arpeggiated swells circulating overhead and the dipping lurching distortions breeding below. Roza’s remix bumps the rush of the original, preserving the frisky spirit through a stripped spine of sultry throb; then creating space for experimental evolution of rhythmic and melodic concepts. Existential breaks skip through the middle of a structural swell and switch up in kick patterns later down the line for endless mixing potential. 

The temperature continues to rise on the B side as Myki ascends into 140+ club territory. Puma Snap snatching your ears instantly with rudely harsh distortion, abandoned abruptly for a quick & slick stripped back drum pattern, gently teasing in extra percussion and light pad timbre. The infectious rolling bass pokes in underneath, locking effortlessly in union to drive the levitating hypnotic flow; the magnetic power of strutting feet to the floor. Bleeding Tooth shadows this stamina for the conclusion; yet with a murky roughness seeping through severe shaded drums and growling low end. Brace yourself for curious revelations and structure ambushes, keeping the innovation gushing with a jarring guitar disruption and gnarled vocal mumblings to stimulate physical combustion. 

Here lies a new age era of perc heavy prog-dance-trance, a twisted and tweaked high energy evolution from historical roots, the kaleidoscoping euphoria and playful aural punishment that trickles through Step Ball Chain’s ethos.

MYKI - Delenya (STEP03)

Edition of 300 triple vinyl boxset:
shallnotfade.co.uk/album/6-years-of-shall-not-fade-lp

Shall Not Fade continues a tradition of marking its anniversary with star-studded compilations; for its sixth year, expect no less. Fans of the Bristol-based purveyor of feel-good dance music will recognise the names; members of the Shall Not Fade family from across all of its sublabels and series come together for a stellar 24 track project, presented in a triple vinyl boxset.  

Including tracks from long-time affiliates like Harrison BDP, Subjoi, Black Loops and Felipe Gordon, as well as new faces to the label like Cinthie, Kessler & Barry Can’t Swim. The compilation brings out the genre-spanning, globe-trotting ethos at the core of Shall Not Fade. The three disc vinyl package shines a light on the various sounds and styles of Shall Not Fade. Disc one is dedicated to the main Shall Not Fade label, whilst disc two focuses on bass driven sublabel Time Is Now with its focus on the delicate and dirty sound palettes of UKG and jungle, featuring label regulars Bakey and Ell Murphy. Disc three merges the sound of sub-label Lost Palms, as well as Shall Not Fade’s ‘classic cuts and ‘killer cuts’ serieses, featuring a label debut from Parisian producer Tour Maubourg, ahead of his full EP out early next year. 

With nothing but exclusive unreleased tracks from a phenomenal range of artists, the Six Years compilations shows off what makes Shall Not Fade tick and celebrates the label’s ability to constantly explore new trends.

Six Years Of Shall Not Fade drops 17th December 2021.

The undisputed Irish prog master Dylan Forbes steps up with an idiomatic release of club-orientated house tracks marbled to perfection. 

Sitting beneath swathes of euphoric synth lines, acidic iterations and probing basslines, 'Mind Expander' is a record formed by collective ideals from the solitary walls of Dylan's lockdown studio back in 2020. 

The realms of your augmented consciousness are waiting for you inside our digital mind expander... enter, if you dare.

@anyoneknowsuki 

It’s time to take a trip to the other side of the world and see how they are doing it over in Melbourne Australia. It’s now very well documented how much heat is coming out of the fine city of Melbourne at the moment and that rich vein is set to be continued right here, right now.
suki & Sniper1 come correct with four of the dance flooriest bangeroos I’ve heard in a good long while. There is barely a moment’s rest on this record and that is just the way I like it. If you like making people dance to the absolute max and I mean to the MAX then there is simply no excuse to not have this record in your bag.

It’s as simple as that.

OK enough of my blather. Go and listen to the damn things yourself and decide if you like them, rather than trying to work it out from reading a bloody press release you weirdos. 

All four tracks are produced and sculpted for the club. They want big sound systems and dark rooms. 

Close your eyes, hold hands and experience transcendental space flight...

Returning to The Edit Room, Shae has cooked up an electro spin on a Kendrick classic. Shae’s take combines spacey vocals with acid zaps, percussive electro and of course, a few breaks. There's a lot on the way from the Manchester-based producer, keep your eyes and ears peeled for an upcoming announcement from him and a few friends 👀 👀 👀 Big love to Brianna Bartlett for providing this slick design, stay tuned for her artist profile!
