Objekt #5 is the latest instalment in Objekt's eponymous whitelabel series and his first release since his 2018 album Cocoon Crush. Tackling "the slow banger" with a signature flair, he delivers two of his most raucous club tracks to date.

Objekt #5

Ballast

Same Same

Kouslin returns to Livity Sound with a second collection of slippery club tracks after the 2020 Vision E.P. With an emphasis on head-twisting sound design and a detailed line in percussive programming, the London-based producer continues to reach into intriguing new areas without forsaking soundsystem-ready physicality.  

The tracks which make up the Patterns E.P. stemmed from a period of personal experimentation, where Kouslin returned to making music for its therapeutic benefits rather than a fixed purpose. The loops and sketches he returned to and expanded upon for this EP bristle with originality at every turn. 

There is a continued exploration of dancehall rhythms on ‘King’, while ‘Five Four’ toys with time signatures for a jagged, fast-paced abstraction of techno. ‘Why Don’t You Don’t’ is harder to pin down thanks to its knotty beat and mutant synthesis, and ‘Michael’ flips the script further with an unexpected swerve into pearlescent melodic lead lines – the perfect demonstration of the honest and instinctive approach Kouslin took when making these tracks.

Patchworks, Vol. 1

Patchwork, Pt. 2

The rooms were empty, each one sprawled out one after the other as they wandered between the vast corridors casting glances down hallways and into chambers. This place was magical, a temple of paradise in which wild things had happened and great kings and princes had reigned.

Who knew what fabled lore had been spoken of between these walls. The parties, the dances and the moments shared.

Now it sat empty, a temple for sublet, empty and waiting for the highest bidder.

Yet they never bid.

Glimmerman returns to First Second Label with a belter of an EP. One for the bass heads and the basement movers and shakers.
