Trois-Quarts Taxi System - Vision

After experiencing numerous collective moments on dance floors, Yotah and Voicheck were inspired to share their own take on bass music. Blending fast-paced rhythms with gritty basslines and a touch of experimental sound design, 'LiDAR' carries a heavy, yet playful energy, originating from their deep-rooted friendship.

Yotah, Voicheck - Submerge

CRTTR is pleased to present their newest format for releasing music.

The CRTTR-CLB series carries the vision of exploring different ways of challenging the notion of club music. For each release we want to bring together four artists who have somehow given us a glitchy feeling on the dancefloor, while digging or in any other listening situation. We’ll be releasing a new track every friday.

So go ahead and listen to the third batch of freshly made tunes from the following lovely artists <3<3<3

https://maloca.bandcamp.com/album/siiix-vol-1

Lying somewhere between a collaborative EP and a compilation, Brussels-based label Maloca Records presents SIIIX, Vol.1, a body of work showcasing a dialogue between veteran Netherlands-based HIIIT (fka percussion ensemble Slagwerk Den Haag) and 6 producers operating across a diverse spectrum of electronic music. Shimmering between footwork, IDM, UK bass and ambient, this project is united by a shared acoustic palette.

Born in 2021, HIIIT was directed by group member and respected multi-instrumentalist/composer Frank Wienk (Binkbeats) to record a sample bank from their vast collection of instruments and unique percussive sources, comprising everything from plastic fuel cans to the largest tam-tam in Europe. A select group of producers were then commissioned to compose sketches from this sample bank.

Chosen by HIIIT are label newcomers Azu Tiwaline, upsammy, Julian Sartorius, Krampfhaft and Valentina Magaletti, as well as Belgian drummer and producer Hi Hats In Trees, who returns to Maloca after releasing his album ‘Artefacts’ on the label last year. Each producer was hand-picked for their percussion-focused music approach and in many cases, their background as drummers.

After creating their sketches, the works were sent back to HIIIT, who recorded more unique layers of percussion on top of these initial pieces. These were then returned to the commissioned producers, with the brief being to utilise the newly recorded material in any way; but to ultimately create fully-realised pieces of music with it.

The final result led to 6 wildly different sonic outcomes. From the high-energy workouts of upsammy’s ‘Embrytone’, Azu Tiwaline’s ‘Brain Rattled’ and Hi Hats In Trees’s ‘CAIRO’, to Julian Satorius’s warped rhythms in ‘Klutsel-Klötzli’, or the cinematic ambient spaces conjured by Kramphaft’s ‘Anticline’ and Valentina Magaletti’s ‘A Drink with the Queen of Wands’, Maloca x HIIIT is a collection of music which rattles and pulses across the electronic music continuum. What unites this record is the acoustic colour and sense of life which would have been next to impossible to achieve without the bespoke sonics from HIIIT.

As a whole, the record can be considered as an organic dialogue; be it between composers and producers from a conceptual standpoint, or between acoustic sound sources and the resultant electronic manipulation when listening to the material.

SIIIX, Vol.1

Azu Tiwaline - Brain Rattled

comicsansrecords.bandcamp.com/album/sal-y-sangre

From high above, atop the highest peak of the tallest mountain, grows a shrieking plant that the locals call Malesa, a spanish word that means “weeds”, if we allow ourselves a slight adjustment in spelling. But far from being an undesirable growth, the duo formed by Paola Avilés and Eloi Petillon represents a promise we wish to see flourish in all its glory.

Between epic drone, enchanting trip-hop ballads, and club tracks written under the moonlight, they release a hybrid and elusive debut album that still remains accessible to all. "Sal y sangre" (Salt and Blood): two alchemical ingredients mirroring love and madness; two crucial elements for crafting a fantastical world, where stone giants, snake tongues, mad dogs and unfaithful feathers meet at the crossroads. Thus, a symbiotic relationship between fantasy and reality rise up and transmute in the music itself, in which digital sound design techniques cohabits with field recordings and acoustic instruments from the tangible world.

With a sense of poetry and esotericism, Malesa unveils a magical chiaroscuro work, spelling invitations to dance and invocation rituals which seamlessly succeed each other in a strange coherence. Bewitching anyone who dared to pull it out, the weed definitely takes root for good and will soon be ready to whisper its magic to the clouds…

First single on your streaming platform : https://li.sten.to/wi5mdw4b

@Toupaz lands on Grid with a luminous, deep and complex EP. 4 tracks mixing impossible genres with contrast as the watchword.

The lead track Rabatanto wanders between dubstep and techno influences, at once dark with sizzling bass lines and ethereal with dubby percussion samples. A club banger for any crowd.

Genuine Connection is the tool of the bunch, galloping along at 142bpm it will thrill everyone with its ultra-detailed uk bass vibe contrasting with airy and colourful synthesizers.

On the b-side, Birdsong slows the tempo with a slow dancehall atmosphere mixed with deep subs and rap vocal samples.

Islandish, the closing track puts the emphasis on emotions, with sentimental synth lines again combined with dub echoes and dubstep false slowness to create a one-of-a-kind stirring mood.

Chaque morceau insuffle une puissante énergie en réinventant les tracks originales de manière audacieuse et inattendue.

PREMIERE | Circular Square - L - 80BN (Soa420 Remix) [10.60 Hz]

READ > inverted-audio.com/premiere-circular-square-dvc-o5d-agilitat-remix

Brussels-based record label 10.60 Hz continue to expand their catalogue with the release of 'Digital Afterlife Preservation Remixes', a bold step into the unknown guided by Paris-based producer Circular Square...The standout track for us is AGILITÄT’s take on 'DVC - (o5d)', commanding attention from the first beat. A relentless pulse of breaks crashes through a thick layer of synths and distorted echoes, conjuring the feeling of diving into a submerged digital landscape. As the track builds, it morphs into a frenetic climax of jagged industrial breaks and deep-rooted bass, evoking an ethereal voyage that stretches beyond the fabric of time. It's a striking blend of the cerebral and the visceral, encapsulating a blend of emotional depth and energy.

Circular Square - DVC - (o5d) (AGILITÄT Remix) [10.60 Hz]

Athens wonder-kid Poor J’Darr unleashes ‘Power Strike’ —a high-pressure, percussion-heavy transmission that carries the torch of the label’s legacy into a new era of rhythmic warfare. 

Passed down from the baton of Walton and Silas & Snare, the signature style of percussion and pressure is alive & well in Andreas Nikoloulias’ KAIZEN debut.

OMOB (formerly Overthinker Mob) is rebooting—here to stay, and more committed than ever to probing and archiving the innovative fringes of culture.

“The Dance of All Creation” compiles a neo-Afrofuturist moodboard of music, visuals, and haptics. This release recruits a weighty international lineup of pioneering forces and sonic architects: Bloomfeld, DJ Lag, DJ Spit, Mafou, Mukuna, NVST, and State OFFF.

[As we further distract ourselves from our environment, we channel our collective intelligence into solving problems of our own design. Our intuition—once attuned to the endless cycle of transformation—fades, taking a backseat to progress. In our pursuit of control and dominance, we decrypt nature’s patterns, quantify its rhythm, mimic its choreography— all the while unlearning how to dance the dance ourselves. Figuratively and literally]

NVST - Backseat Queen (Boss Version)

Pre-order: https://gracelabel.bandcamp.com/album/lurka-signal-ep

For its third release, @gracelabelhq gets @lurka on the dials. On 'Signal', the Bristol-based producer serves up a classy four-course menu of bass oddities, primed and tested for club misdemeanour.

The resulting EP is a spread of hyper-distinct tunes, each one bringing special energy to the floor: from the skippy incantations in ‘Spells’, to rude halftime drum power on ‘Hammer’.

Premiere: Lurka 'Hammer'

Spider Rituals EP

Hyas, Aurèle - Cash Mire

Written during our four months lockdown in Minsk, Belarus in 2020.

Witnessing a repressive government which keeps its power at any cost, Ma Sha Ru wrote "White Red White, Keep Up the Fight!" EP. Filled with dark atmospheres, it tells the story of people fighting for their freedom and rights.

All the profits from the release will be going to the Belarus Solidarity Foundation (BYSOL).
