@radiantrecords

Kasra V’s Hyperdelic EP, his first release on Radiant Records, showcases the producer’s attentive ear for textural and rhythmic play. His last EP from 2018, Akasa, was a collection of dreamy, break-driven pieces, and a more ambient collaboration with Dopplereffekt; timbre and meticulously tuned sonics were also in focus then, but we now hear a reduction of form, and with it, a saturation of style.

“Voice note to self” kicks off the EP with a boom-bap drum loop. The rhythm continues as percussive elements are added and removed, adhering to the groove and its growing complexity. A warm bassline chugs along, pitched vocals mumble into the static, and an ascendant pad begins to give the track a gorgeous depth: a horizon. Following is a remix of the same track by Byron B. Yeates and Roza Terenzi, adapting certain samples from Kasra V’s production and looping them up to a brisk 142 BPM. As can be expected from these two, the kick’s punchy 4/4 structure is buttressed by crisp percussion and clever, unexpected rhythms.

On the B-side, “Vesper” takes us back to downtempo. Bumping on at around 80 BPM, Kasra V builds upon a drum-machine loop with processed percussion samples: a snare-roll one could hear in a jungle track, chopped claps panning across the break, and so on. And the slow, warm gurgle of an 808 comes in just at the point of fracture, holding it all together. “Night Prime” extends the EP’s principle of a drum loop serving as the skeleton – with greater drama, somehow. Like in “Voice note to self”, we hear vocal samples, but here they swerve in and out of clarity; we break into unexpected moments of silence, and the loop restarts; 3 minutes in, a huge, minor piano chord breaks upon the track like dusk. “Warm up great” closes the EP with the blend of left-field groove and dissonance one might associate with Future Sound of London or early work of The Chemical Brothers. The textures and tunings of each sample are so dense, so delicious, Kasra V lets us savour them for the last 20 seconds of the EP, lost in the reverb of a singly struck piano key.

Nasty J - Blood On Leaves (NZN044)

Noizion Recordz continue to push the envelope within the underground bass scene, this time Nasty J steps up with a 4 tracker featuring earthly tonality and soundsystem impact.

Jah-Tek introduces track 3 'Blood On Leaves', a dusty dub ensemble that eerily taunts listeners with a wistful vocal lead, halftime rhythm and ghostly guitar melodics.

Nasty J - Blood On Leaves (NZN044) [Jah-Tek Premiere]

Berlin artist Katiusha kicks off her new label GRACE with ‘The Sellout’.

Over two tracks, the EP imagines sultry, meandering spaces for dancers to disappear in.

On ‘A Shark Called Nancy’ shakes up the oceanic depths with a more steamy groove and fidgety breaks.

GRACE is built for those moments where dancefloors melt into hazier spaces. After this first release, the label will pass the mic to other producers who wanna take you there!

The Sellout EP 

PREMIERE: Katiusha - A Shark Called Nancy [GRACE]

I'm proud to present a new self-release series! For its inaugural edition, Bones Creek / Simitri captures the cold, wet, and eerie atmosphere of Fall, enveloping listeners in a chilling experience. The creeping pads, damp acid lines, and dirty drums evoke an unsettling mood that mirrors the season's descent into darkness.

FR. The Hunt second morceau de l’EP, nous plonge dans une course effrénée. À travers ce morceau Dub Techno, Siwal installe une tension progressive. L’atmosphère y est de plus en plus oppressante, et l’auditeur.ice danseur.euse se laisse happer par cette chasse sans issue. Les percussions organiques répondent aux kicks qui parsèment le morceau sans jamais s'exprimer complètement.  Des mélodies lointaines résonnent, pads et percussions se répondent et amplifient l’attente hypnotique. Une longue introspection s’opère alors, on se laisse charmer par cette scène. Le morceau est déjà fini que nous sommes encore dans cette jungle, béa, presque extatique, encore bouleversés.

ENG. The Hunt, the EP's second track, plunges us into a frantic race. Through this Dub Techno track, Siwal builds progressive tension. The atmosphere becomes more and more oppressive, and the dancer-listener gets caught up in the dead-end hunt. Organic percussion and the kicks answer one another and come punctuate the track, without ever fully expressing itself. Distant melodies resonate, pads and percussions combine to amplify this hypnotic anticipation. A long introspection now takes place and let ourselves be charmed by this scene. The song is already over and we're still in the jungle, blissful, almost ecstatic, still overwhelmed.

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]

Since launching in 2020, London-based record label Alien Communications have carved out a wormhole within the ever-expanding multiverse of electro - part ancestral tribute, part forward-facing manifesto...Frequencies arrive courtesy of Rotterdam-based sentinel ERP, whose clinical funk continues to trace lines from the Drexciyan abyss to present-day neural circuitry. Melbourne-based producer Reptant slithers through with his signature high-res amphibian oscillations, while MOY summons the broken arithmetic of braindance into dizzying fractal patterns. The enigmatic Client_03 delivers encrypted missives from the future’s surveillance zones, while Plant43’s analog cartographies unfurl crystalline electro-geometries for urban mystics.
