Too Much Choon

FFS Premiere: Untrue – Too Much Choon

The Lords of The Dance are back in town. Which makes this a good day. A ruddy bloody good day. 

It’s been a little while since we’ve had a Total Science release on CIA but the good news is that they’ve got two new cuts to unleash on your unsuspecting ears, and they’re packing that usual big bad quality punch from these two stalwarts, legends, pillars, that you’d of course expect. 

Channeling a little bit of every period of Total Science history into ‘Road Runner’, what comes out is something almost completely new, a special piece of music. It’s got a fresh feel to it, there isn’t anyone else making tunes that sound like this now, or before. And while ‘Fxk That’ comes out a bit more direct and to the point, it’s got that certain flare to it. And it’s got that oof. You need the oof. Or you’re the one missing the point, ya know. And Fxk That.

Total Science - Road Runner

Minor Forms has created a steady reputation of late for blending deep atmospheric elements with a strong sense of musicality all backed up by a key knowledge of what works on the dancefloor. Strong recent releases on Sofa Sound & Flexout have led us to the pivotal point of CIA proudly releasing Minor Form’s debut LP ‘Room Two’. 

The title instantly puts the listener where Minor Forms wants them, throwing them back to his formative years spent in headsy Room 2s, soaking up the underground sounds of London in clubs and warehouses where his love for the atmospheric took hold. The album forms two halves, the first being an exploration of his sound as a solo producer, the second half sees him collab with close friends, formulating the experience of raving side by side in that smoked out second arena. This is an album that transports you to into that venue; dark, low ceilings, hoods up, caps down just vibing to the music. 

Kicking off with the rolling sounds of Original, perhaps the first tune you hear when you step in the club. You walk down the stairs into the basement and we are straight in, minimal, impactful, lets grab a drink and ride the wave. 

The title track Follows and engulfs you; ‘Room Two’ has huge driving subs that will pulse through any cavernous space, guaranteed to get a massive reaction while ‘Rushing Blind’ brings more of the same pounding, pulsating breaks that will make any main room or room 2 crew shock out until the lights come on. 

Any decent club needs a smoking area, or possibly the smoking area for Minor Forms means the back of the dance, back wall holding down the corner with your friends, this is the vibe you get from listening to ‘Tell You’; an unapologetic zoned out garage/breakbeat stepper showcasing Minor Forms versatility of a producer. 

Kathryn Brenna’s vocal shines on ‘Let go’, while CIA bosses Total Science, who themselves are no strangers to turning multiple room 2’s upside down over two decades of D&B contributions 
come with the pulsating ‘Close Call’, which also features Manchester’s rising star Kublai. This one thumps and wobbles in equal measure to devastating effect… Instant reload! 

In Room Two the selections get deeper on ‘Not Alone’ with Note; shoulder to shoulder atmospherics meeting driving expansive pads. The minimal stepper ‘Till close’ with Composite ends proceedings; the lights turn on, heads look up and the night is rounded off with a round of applause from the crowd. 

‘One More tune?’ Sorry security is not having it, but luckily you can rewind the album and go again. 

A real coming of age project for Minor Forms, an ode to his legacy whilst having one eye firmly on the future, we are excited to invite you all to Room Two, no egos, no VIP lanyards, just good music.

It’s a rare treat to get new Arcatype music. Three passionate music lovers who are striving to put music first, art first, meaning first. It can be hard to find sometimes. But this is what Arcatype do, and this is why when they proffer new music, it means something. And why we therefore obviously love to sign their music. 

And so we’re delighted to welcome them back for their latest outing with us, a solid two-tracker in the form of ‘Snow Days’ and ‘Split The Harp.’ 

The trio are in no rush to flood the market with music, or release something just for the sake of it. Waiting until they can all be in the studio together to write, an almost forgotten art and methodology, they carefully craft their tracks with a love and detail that sometimes seems to be missing these days. And it’s no different with their latest single. 

We hope you enjoy these as much as we are, and that you hear and feel the passion and meaning they put into their craft.

Alphaze has finally lost the plot — and we’re all better off for it! The Ravin’ Mad EP on Serial Killaz Recordings is six slabs of jump up filth, jungle chaos and rave mayhem, stitched together for maximum dancefloor carnage.

Rooted in the rowdy grit of jump up, yet laced with the feverish energy of jungle and the euphoric chaos of early rave culture, this EP is pure peak-time ammunition. Alphaze blends snarling basslines with frantic breaks, rave-stab frenzy and enough low-end pressure to make the foundations quiver. The result? Dancefloors left grinning and gurning, with ravers caught somewhere between the past, the present, and the next reload.

Warning: side effects may include bass face, reckless skanking and the need to call in sick to work on Monday morning.

It's fair to say Alix Perez is a bit of musical badman. The Belgian producers got plenty of riddims in his catalogue, whether it be soothing jams or ferocious tear-ups, releasing on Shogun Audio, Exit Records, Metalheadz and Soul:r in the past. 

Now he's serving up four seductive groovers for Exit Records.
