Premiere : Direct Function - Superposition (SKIP009)

We're back just in time for Christmas with another hard hitting release, courtesy of Direct Function.

This three track release is awash in intricate 303 lines, thoughtful melodies and broken House beats.

Heavy Rain sets the scene of the EP, with its hypnotic acid melody interplaying with the dubbed-out soundscape he's created. This leads you perfectly in to the heavyweight title track, Ecstatic Dance. A certified banger with a big basslinne who's far reaching influences can be heard from Breakbeats, Dub, Acid House and UK Funky - this tune is not one to be slept on. This nestles us in to the final track of the EP, Superposition, where the big basslines keep rolling and dubby chords keep playing to give the release a totally uplifting and satisfying crescendo.

PREMIERE: reCAPTCHA - Across The Line [Skiptrace]

Very little is known about London-based producer reCAPTCHA. He is that kind of artist that decided to construct his career away from the social media spotlight, turning the mission of finding out what he ate yesterday or where he bought his new sneakers into an impossible one. What we can tell about him is that he is a “bleepy bloop enthusiast”, according to his bio on SoundCloud, and that he is about to make his debut on Skiptrace, an interesting label hailing from “Madchester”, UK, devoted to finding grass-roots talents and give them a platform to promote their work either releasing their music, or hosting them on their radio shows or mix series, or booking them to play at their events.

Let’s go back to reCAPTCHA, shall we? His “Inconsistent Behaviour” is an ode to a forgotten era. It’s an EP that reflects his skill and vision as a producer by interplaying with melting 303s, breakbeats, and gnarly basslines, firmly putting his own stamp on the seminal genre of Detroit Electro. 

Premiered here, the title track owes its trippy aura to the dreamy synth pads and its stamina to the acid lines reCAPTCHA skilfully constructed to the theme. The restless and frantic synth layers help to deliver a positive and upbeat message that says, “Hey, you over there, forget your ephemeral stories for a second and focus on your real story, especially on this unique moment we are having right here, right now on the dance floor”.

PREMIERE: Trophy - Gotta Do It [Skiptrace]

The Manchester-based Skiptrace is one of those labels out there that insist on fighting the good fight by keeping it simple: In publishing its content exclusively on Bandcamp, the imprint manages to keep its releases kind of under the radar, underground, away from the spotlight – devoted for diggers only, we could say. If your thing is Bass, Breakbeats, and/or House Music, a thorough tour throughout its catalogue is highly recommended.

For its forthcoming endeavour, “Skippy” brought together a bunch of young and skilled producers in order to deliver a high-quality compilation: marco ono, Portway, Trophy, Lapalace, Direct Function, Morayy, and smplstreet brought the best of their games for the occasion and the result is a full-of-dance-floor-fillers VA.

Premiered here, Lapalace’s contribution is definitely one of the highlights of the release. Sounding like an angry Punk drummer’s solo, the break beats aim to make us to dance… wildly. The acid layer and the Leftfield pad go in another direction and trigger a trance-like state. It’s dancing… wildly with the eyes closed what we are talking about. A great theme by the promising British talent.

Clay makes his debut release in our third instalment with a wonderfully crafted EP that is a hybrid between melodic interplay and broken House, where his unique sound has found its home.

The title track, Twitching Mission, is an atmospheric journey played out by the trippy lead synth with a skippy breakbeat. Checking then grounds the EP after the initial high of Twitching Mission. It’s a slower paced break, with an unmistakable piano riff and groovy leads. Big thanks to Kahwe for putting the remix together for us. He has recontextualised Twitching Mission and given it a heavy set of peak time Disco vibes - belter.

Afterhours is the second tune from Marco Ono's latest release on Skiptrace. It's groovy bassline and hypnotic lead contrast the other songs on the EP by moving away from the use of instrumentation and focusing on raw electronic elements to compose this piece. It is certainly, as the name would imply, one to be enjoy with friends in the early hours of the morning. Seriously good vibes.

Release Date: 13 Jan 2021

"Skiptrace's first release of 2021 comes from Marco Ono, and is a big fat dose of House music goodness to help remedy some of the CV-19 blues in the air at the minute. The title track 'A Prayer Before Dawn' showcases Marco's ability to combine classic electronic House beats with real instrumentation; the bass has more slap than Seinfeld and the gut wrenching guitar solo elevates the song to a higher plane.
