Mellon
Brutalism [EP]

Mellon - Brutalism
Mellon - Bad Habits
Mellon - Tender
Mellon & Dub Head - Allergy

Introducing Mellon, Maksim Khudiakov, a Russian producer now based is Belgrade whose work draws on Dub, Jazz and classic Hip Hop influences.  Mellon’s latest EP, Brutalism, sees these influences gathered and shaped by personal touches; atmospheric textures and dextrous rhythms sit across 4 tracks that balance playfulness and brutality. The release marks another potent step forward for Sudo Sound and Mellons impressive Discographies. 

Also included in this release is a collaboration between Mellon and Dub Head. Hailing from Kiev, Ukraine, Vitalii, known as Dub Head, is a founder of Cybernetic crew with releases on Transparent Audio, Sofa Sound, Sauce Recordings & Dispatch; he is devoted to creating a unique and captivating sound in the world of Drum and Bass and beyond. His link-up on Mellons latest project brings 'Allergy' to the release, another example of why Dub Head remains one of the front runners in the scene.

NAPSTAA - VICIOUS [FREE]

As we travel further along the murky 2020 time-continuum we are pleased to deliver the next release for Pure Space Recordings. This time from one of Melbourne’s most acclaimed producers, Rings Around Saturn.

Rings Around Saturn delivers us with two club focussed tracks that skilfully toe the line between electro and bass music.

On the A-sde you will find ‘Grip’, a heavy hitter that’s weight comes from the deep sub-rhythms and hefty drum programming. The melodic, acid-infused arpeggios that fill the tracks body seemingly pull you further and further off the ground until finally the suspension is released through a glistening breakdown.

On the flip you will find ‘Subterranean Electro’, a track titled aptly to describe its heady electroism. Here deep bass is met with skittering pads, and tension fuelled melodies whilst a constant rhythm that feeds the tracks subterranean ecosystem. The gritty melody is fast and jittery keeping you on your toes whilst you complete your journey.

Tracklist:
A1 - Rings Around Saturn - Grip
B1 - Rings Around Saturn - Subterranean Electro

Artist: Pugilist, Otik, Appleblim, Commix
Title: eleVAte Vol.1
Label: DEXT Recordings
Cat #: DEXTVA001
Format: 12” Vinyl & Digital
Release Date: 5th June 2020

A1: Pugilist - Eclipse
A2: Otik - Apollon
B1: Commix - New Moves
B2: Appleblim - Hydrothermal Vents

Boasting a discography of over 18 releases, inclusive of composers such as Special Request and Mark Broom, through to Nightwave and Hodge, DEXT Recordings celebrate 5 years with a V/A compilation from label affiliates Commix (Endian), Appleblim, Otik, and Pugilist.

'eleVAte Vol. 1' explores the more profound and invigorating, sonic excursions that the label's artists have to offer.

Fresh from an EP on Midland's Intergraded imprint, Otik returns for a disjointed offering with paranoid synth work and an arpeggio that fizzes through the tweeters.

Pugilist offers up dub stabs, analogue sirens with blips of space echo on 'Eclipse', with a garage swing and Rhodes, contrasting a ruff and ready sound palate of bass weight.

Metalheadz signee Commix, (AKA Endian), returns to DEXT for a tumbling UK bass track with swung percussion and side-chained textures of rising crackle.

Skull Disco, Applepips boss and dubstep icon Appleblim, returns from a recent album on Sneaker Social Club, offering 'Hydrothermal Vents', that sees him taint a 126bpm framework with his dubstep-tinged roots, providing room for the groove to move.

Produced over a 3 year period these pieces, out of countless unfinished projects, were the only lossless files that were able to be recovered from backups online after Ronan’s laptop was stolen while travelling in Costa Rica in 2019. This music represents some of the important puzzle pieces of Ronan’s musical journey, exploring the distant moons of rave music while staying true to his roots as a jazz improviser and classical instrumentalist.

Ronan "Return To The Sea"

Armed with only an 808, a tape machine and a grip of old Horror movie soundtracks DJ Cabbage (the rap-beat alter ego of Luca Lozano aka Planetluke.com) sat down and built the first volume of his Criminal Simulation series.

The project, which is a collaboration with Berlin based multi-faceted agency and lifestyle store Sporadic manifests in a C30 tape cassette with direct on-body printing and a longsleeve tshirt.

The tape features 10 separate tracks mixed continuously and harks back to the gory glory days of early Memphis tape rap, rough and unpolished, unapologetic and raw.

DJ CABBAGE - CRIMINAL SIMULATION VOLUME ONE

Hailing from Rotterdam, Joginda Macnack and Mike Richards are the duo behind Black Cadmium. Cited as DJs, producers, and radio hosts of Surinamese descent, they are influenced by the London - Detroit connection with their sets often filled with UKG, euphoric techno, and the wide-reaching span of the hardcore continuum - all killers, no fillers. This attitude transcends throughout their productions, with releases on Afro Deep, Vaultwax, Ovum, and Carista’s United Identities imprint. Now Black Cadmium make their debut on Portuguese label naive with ‘Chemistry’ EP, out on the 27th November. Their relationship with the label was first introduced to us through their contribution to naive’s mix series where they contributed the 50th mix earlier this year, and now they return with a selection of serious dance floor weapons. On ‘Everything’ you will find a rolling acid number that builds into a hypnotic techno record, drawing influence from late 80s Chicago jack and 90s Plastikman techno.
