The place was a ghost town; shop fronts were boarded up, rubbish littered the roads and barely a soul could be seen walking the streets. Society had come to a standstill and many obsessed over its return. Normality as they knew it was skewed and their sense of time warped. Now comfort and safety could only be found indoors; adjustments had to be made, every day life had to change.

Hypercolour affiliate and Super Hexagon boss made his debut on Amsterdam-based imprint MUSAR back in May last year with his first ever long player, 'Resa'. In contrast to this release, his newest outing for the label stretches beyond the immersive soundscapes heard on Resa and into the depths of trance, electro and acid.

Backed up by a remix from Planet Mu alumni, producer and visual artist Konx Om Pax, the three original tracks on 'Luv 44' still retain that introspective feel even though they're largely aimed at the dancefloor. Created during the pandemic when society came to a halt, the tracks channel J.Wiltshire's 'interest in the introspective side of trance', and represent a space he felt comfortable creating in at the time.

PREMIERE: J.Wiltshire - Trails [MUSAR]

As an artist, you may recognise Konx-om-Pax’s visuals for Warp, Underground Resistance, Oneohtrix Point Never, Hyperdub, LuckyMe and many more. Oftentimes when turning his hand to production, the Planet Mu signee develops the original elements and pushes them into new territory via a host of analogue effects chains. Among the mix is a hypnotic and continual breakbeat that dips in and out dynamically, plus a host of improvised effects that sporadically paint over the mix like a beautiful and chaotic tapestry.

J.Wiltshire - The Number Counters (Konx-om-Pax Remix)

Joey Mercedes is a DJ/producer based in New York whose previous releases include a record on Spanish label lowsounds in 2020 as well as a string of self-released tracks via Bandcamp. Joining the toucan sounds family with his latest offering, Mercedes teams up with label friends and family Brandon Markell Holmes, Robert PM, Red Velvet Papi and Lyric Christian for a standout release packed with funky house collaborations.

Leading the EP, ‘It Goes On’ sees Mercedes and label-boss Robert PM crafting lush soundscapes and chunky drums, providing the base for Brandon Markell Holmes’ gentle vocal performance. Following is ‘San Tropez’, which sees Holmes’ providing a combination of singing and spoken word over a bouncy house track with pumping kicks, blissful sax, and rattling percussion, before ‘Ardor (Interlude)’ brings dreamy pads and a dense, evolving arrangement.

‘Perplexed’ features New York-based rapper, singer-songwriter, and producer Red Velvet Papi and is a grooving vocal house production with wonky synths and skippy drums. ‘Fulton’ follows the same trajectory, bringing together Holmes and NYC singer-songwriter Lyric Christian over an irresistible, immaculately produced house jam. Additional instrumental versions of ‘It Goes On’, ‘Perplexed’, and ‘Fulton’ are included to round out the release.

Brooklyn’s toucan sounds are a label at the forefront of emerging sounds and artists based out of the You Too Can Woo studios in New York. Since its inception in 2018, the imprint has been championing acts such as musclecars, Haruka Salt, Brandon Markell Holmes, and more.

Jump For Joy, Pause For Peace

PREMIERE: Joey Mercedes - Fulton feat. Brandon Markell Holmes & Lyric Christian [toucan sounds]

Following the release of @Ineffekt 's debut album 'Kora’, Dutch virtuoso producer @oceanicocean patched together multiple tracks from the album to form his 'Patchwork' remixes; a duo of tracks that show two sides of the same coin. Patchwork #1 takes vocals pieces from both Vesper and Vibrant Bands of Yellow and morphs them into a gorgeous rhythmic piece that soothes the ears and catches the heart. #2 further expands the rhythms into a track that makes for a great dance starter. Combining the emotive foundation that was laid out in the original songs with a meditative backbone that makes
for a dream-like escapade.

Patch Notes:

The Coupe is a super flexible modular instrument equipped with various sound sources, innovative pattern creation and sequencing, modulation, sampling, processing and integration with external equipment. It is the perfect modular groovebox for creating full tracks in any style on the fly!

All sounds from the System Coupe sequenced via Digitakt with reverb from REV500 and basic post EQ and compression.

Big thanks to Edd Butterworth (IG - @begg_uk) for the performance and Andrew Duff (IG - @allthesixes666) for the video synth visuals.

Kindimmer is clearly very technical in his approach. His tracks are so intricately woven together. Extending far beyond just electronic components, the music within his 'Planned Obsolescence' EP has a neat way of digging inside you. Drawing out emotions you didn't see lingering. 

Somehow quite minimal in elements, 'Poignant' caresses the brain with bubbling, muted percussion and gleaming, yogic melody. Expertly crafted, this new one from Kindimmer is suggestive of the unique charm we see in the likes of Four Tet. 

A hefty claim, we know, but at a time when finding higher states seems impossible, it's truly refreshing how this track provides a much needed injection of clarity and head space.
