Honey Badger Records seemingly keeps piling on the heat year after year. The label, which was founded in 2014 by JNS is one of the oldest and most well-known record labels in Seoul. The releases on the label to date straddle the line between house and techno, while maintaining a clear sense of forward-thinking dance music.

For Honey Badger’s latest release, they are re-joined by South Korean producers Wooseok Choi and Minseop Lee, collectively known as Two Tone Shape, with their Every Minute EP. The EP, which marks the first release of the 2022 for both Honey Badger Records and Two Tone Shape, showcases the impressive depth of the duo’s live-programmed productions. Each track on the EP features a unique sonic flare, ranging from expansive breakbeat, deep & slow-burning house, as well as rave-leaning techno. 

The second track of the record keeps up the introductory pace set by the opener. Persistence of X is an expertly crafted house music gem. The bassline conveys an indisputable bounce while nestled between a kick that drives the groove home. Two Tone Shape pays homage to classic rave samples yet keeps things interesting with synthesis magic that the duo seems to do again and again.

This release continues the positive trajectory that both Honey Badger Records and Two Tone Shape are on.

PREMIERE: Tom Carruthers - Forgotten Groove

Marten Lou - Better Days (Carlos Club Edit)

Rising Belgian talent Supreems returns to Lobster Theremin, following up 2016's breakout ‘Us Together’ 12" and his recent superb Hammer remix with a four track journey to the outer rim through ethereal breaks, undulating deep house and luscious electro.

Opener 'Close Your Eyes (And Feel)' has been bothering the net for a good year now and finally sees a release on wax. Scattered breaks, chopped vocals and those classic yearning pads collide and shatter into a fine mist of melancholia. Next up is ‘Broken (And Out Of Sync)’, a hefty rumbling breakbeat base punctured by heavily staccato’d acid lines and rapid analogue arpeggiators. A soaring, uplifting night sky flight.

Shifting into life on the B-side is When Two Souls Reach. A heavy soul search, wandering down into the depths, alongside the setting sun. A warm, enveloping love letter cast down from the clouds in beams of yellow and orange tinted light. Then the final leg, the thundering drum-scorched ‘Stream Of Consciousness’. Evolving pad lines that meander along the edge of sanity, twinkling percussive synths and swung 909’s and 808’s. Soft-hued melodies and endlessly hazy atmospherics for the close.

LT051 // Supreems - Close Your Eyes (And Feel) EP

From Copenhagen via Århus, Denmark, Grammar of Movement is bubbling up! This time releasing on sublabel, Lobster UNDR. Plastic Games EP offers 5 wigged-out cuts and frenzied electro to make your head spin. 

Opener, ‘Plastic Games’ is pacy, trippy electro; shadowy loops steeped in urgency - the shape of things to come from Grammar of Movement. Dysphoria ensues via the robotic, melancholic ‘Model 1600’. Next, ‘IOI’ offers stripped back food for thought, slowly sucking you into the acid whirlpool. On the flip, Grammar of Movement nods to other influences. ‘Sad Juno’ lets broken beats smack against swirling electronics. Rounding out the EP on a groovier note, ‘K-Mix’ is a sonic laser-quest adventure.

‘Plastic Games’ EP drops 20th March via Lobster UNDR.

Hot off their latest release with T. Jacques, London-based djs/party-turned label Tessellate show no signs of slowing down as they bring us the 'Drop Down' EP from Parisian dj and producer, Armless Kid. 

Marking their sixth release, Tessellate have by now established a very tight signature sound and vision for their label. Concentrating on club-readiness, Tessellate is shaping up to be first and foremost a dj’s label, concentrating on function over home-listening. However, this never goes far enough to reduce any of their output to “dj only” material, as their careful curation always has space for functional groovers with tuneful, harmonious elements and headier vibes.

Per usual, their sixth is full of all these signature ingredients. The A1 and original “Club Mix” of Drop Down provides the most tranquil listen of the bunch: a broken beat and flanged breaks set the scene, as catchy bursts of acid and synth lines reminiscent of old Project Pablo tunes ring out over the top. The B side features deeper and more minimal vibes across two more original cuts.
 
The A2 “Acid Reflex” flip of the leading track by Opal Sunn is our pick of the bunch. The Berlin duo (who’s latest release on Nick Hoeppner’s Touch From A Distance imprint is a must-listen) take the original up a notch, layering additional percussion over the original, replacing the smooth chords with rapid, sequenced synth work and finishing it off with a hefty touch of acid. Dreamy, dubby and sweet in patches, though techy and functional all the same, it all adds up to make a tune with Tessellate written all over it.

What’s special about Tessellate has been their ability to create a brand so in touch with all it’s built upon, a testament to their A&R. If you’ve ever seen Tessellate play or been to their parties, you’ll know what we mean (if you haven't, you should make it one of your post-quarantine plans). By now the Tessellate label has become all the right amount of predictable. The consistency is there, and you know what you’ll get with Tessellate, but it’s fresh every time and we definitely can’t wait for more.

Label: Aurore 404
Artist: Nairless
Format: Vinyl & Digital
Cat. Number: A404004
EP Title: Urban Showdown EP
Release Date: May 29th, 2020
Support it: https://aurore404records.bandcamp.com

Relentless and elusive french producer NairLess reveals his first solo EP released on the first vinyl of the label he co-founded, Aurore 404.
Two breakbeat-y groovers, a cosmic, fast-paced remix by Sichuan, and a slice of acido-disco to finish it off...

The first track of the EP, 'Pawn Checkmate', takes us directly into a colourful and hypnotic universe. The track is marked by a punchy break beat with a marked and surgical snare. But the elements that really stand out are the sparkling arpeggiators, which introduce us to the trip with a soaring melody full of positive energy.

"De l’innocence des premières idylles amoureuses de Lezguy aux retrouvailles avec cette personne longtemps disparue d’Avecunk. C’est comme une couleur pourpre, à la fois suave et mélancolique pour Iba Boo. Comme cette relation pleine de séduction, de rêves partagés que nous fait ressentir Serge. Comme une déclaration d’amour à cent vingt-six battements par minute que fait tambouriner Plage One.

Avec Les Canicules s'emballent, la tension monte et la chaleur qui ronge le bas ventre est à son apogée, le coeur plein d'émotions où la certitude et la confiance vers un avenir commun se manifestent, aucun doute, cette liaison devient torride.

Quand les frères Tomasi évoquent une histoire Indienne, Archyle nous parlera ici d’une balade pour se connecter ensemble au cœur de l’amour, de la passion et de l’attirance au Square du Temple. Stop. Retour sur terre.
Bollywood Love, c’est la fin de cette histoire. La fin de cet « Also I Love You » transcrit dans le morceau de Mario Penati.
Vraiment? Reste-t-elle immuable? Insensible au passage du temps ?
Douze artistes, douze Histoires d’Amour."

"Lost in the middle of the unknown, overwhelmed by emotions and fears, from the bottom of our heart came the need to focus on what has always be our salvation : Music
These four tracks, born in different places and different moments, share the same desire to go further, to dig deep into our roots and find the soul, a mother to help us, a new place to accommodate our new, somehow scary world.

Our EP is a tribute to our wonderful Earth, to spread Hope and Love to all of us around the world

Shall we dance again? We firmly believe so, a world without music would be a mistake."
