Fake news has been rife throughout the pandemic, one example of which being the claim that swans and dolphins had been spotted swimming in Venice's canals. This bogus story (which actually turned out to be sort of true in the end) was the title inspiration for Berlin-based producer @guavanoise's latest EP, 'The Dolphins Are Back In Venice'. Forthcoming on Control Freak Recordings, the club-ready EP finds collaborations with some of the cream of the UK's bass producers, Breaka (listen to his Dummy Mix here), and LUXE. We're premiering EP track 'SZD Orion' here, a track that comes complete with skittering hi hats and cosmic, floating synths - sonically apt for a track that was inspired by flight. "I always think it's essential to start with a track title before making a piece of music," Guava says. "I'd recently been reading about the 1972 Gliding World Championships, in which Polish pilot Jan Wróblewski won flying a glider called the SZD-Orion. I thought it was an excellent title for a piece of music. Most of my tunes are inspired by flight; in the same way, Kraftwerk used the 'Trans Europe Express' to convey a sonic narrative. When I write music, there is always a theme and a story that I'm trying to tell. In this piece, you can hear Jan gliding from cloud to cloud with the bubbling synthesisers representing the turbulence and air moving around him."

Premiere: Guava - 'SZD Orion'

CoOp Presents are pleased to "welcome" back Oliver Night, with a brand new six-track EP, including remixes from Atjazz and Mitch von Arx.

Following up his brilliant early 2019 EP 'Make Believe', his EP once again illustrates Oliver's prowess for producing deep bruk business. This follows releases on the label from the likes of EVM128, Groove Chronicles, Risa T, LCSM, Sivey, Neue Grafik, Danvers & Reginald Omas Mamode, furthering the mission statement of label bosses IG Culture & Alex Phountzi to create a strong platform for new bruk talent and beyond, from London to the world.

For those that don't know, East London's Oliver Night is a rising talent in the bruk world. In addition to his own productions, collaborating with artists such as Jay Phelps & BB James, he recently featured on Adelaide producer Inkswel's 'Trippin' (which reached No.1 on the Traxsource Deep House chart) on Atjazz's label, as well as the title track of his new album 'Chasing Infinity' (which also features Lee Scratch Perry, Steve Spacek, Mr Scruff, Dudley Perkins, Kaidi Tatham & Talib Kweli of Black Star). There were also recent features on Parisian producer Quiet Dawn's highly acclaimed 'Movements' EP on Worldwide Award-winning London label First Word Records, and on Jimpster's recent album 'Birdhouse' on Freerange Records.

Now approaching two decades in the DJ game, Oliver was originally a member of Roots Manuva's Banana Klan, and nowadays is a regular player for the Selectors Assemble gang. He's played at various venues across the capital, from the Tate Modern to Boiler Room, and on Worldwide FM with the CoOp Presents crew. Previous support has come far and wide from selectors such as Tony Humphries, Kerri Chandler, Jazzie B, Gilles Peterson, Kid Fonque, Rainer Trueby, Jamz Supernova & Seth Troxler, and press from the likes of Bolting Bits and Music Is My Sanctuary.

So to the new EP... An entirely self-produced solo effort, it kicks off - of course - with 'Welcome', the title track. A deep commanding vocal leads the proceedings, accompanied with some Detroit Techno-tinged keys, acid squelches and occasional chopped Jungle-esque breaks. We follow this with a piece of 'Heart' - warped arpeggiated synths lead the way here, whilst also featuring some seriously soulful vocals again from Oliver himself. Things get tougher next with 'Bruk N Bass'; as the title suggests, this one has some heavy D&B influences with a seriously growling b-line and ravey synth stabs, riding a fiery bruk backbeat. The EP closes out on a more leftfield tip; 'Slated' is a deeper one, which begins with a brooding key pattern setting things off in a slightly deceptive fashion, before switching to some stripped- back bruk, containing just the right amount of sample hits and bassweight, with a mind-melting breakdown midway to boot. The set is complete with two firing remixes from Atjazz and Mitch von Ark respectively.
Oliver says "this EP is a fusion of my favourite genres - broken beat, soul, techno, house and drum 'n' bass. I've put my 'Heart' into this and would love to 'Welcome' you into my ever evolving world..."

PREMIERE: Oliver Night - Bruk N Bass [CoOp Presents]

Despite his young age, Carlton Doom is viewed as a legend amongst the Irish electronic scene, first making a huge impact under his enigmatic moniker Unknown with fellow Irish artist Gemma Dunleavy. Since the birth of Carlton Doom, he has gone on to release music on labels such as Hypercolour, Lobster Theremin and Hotflush, earning a reputation as one of the most forward thinking producers within the UK & Ireland. With that has come an unmistakable sound, his tracks instantly recognisable for their gritty and powerful energy. 

Doom’s latest work comes in the form of a four track EP on UK label Breaks ‘N’ Pieces titled ‘The Lost Tracks: Blue Galaxy’ the only EP which Doom had a clear picture in his head, aiming to make it sound otherworldly and not like anything else before him. Originally made in 2014, thankfully these tracks have been re-birthed, resulting in an exploration of profound thought, colour and oceanic layers.

Title track ‘Blue Galaxy’ is a place where freedom, peace and enchantment come together, blissfully interwoven into a headrest for your soul. Sprawling pads connect with yearning vocals, 
each new element adding to the feeling of interstellar migration. A grime influenced, chirpy lead is the center piece to ‘Mistriot’, keeping things fresh while incorporating signature low-slung kick drums and dense basslines. ‘Jektify’ then bounces through a labyrinth of revolving doors, managing to keep the energy at a lower BPM; the bass and lead compliment each other perfectly, richochotting from one note to the next.  

‘Life On Marble’ is a space opera narrated by Irish MC and hip-hop artist Emby. A tale of stargazing while reimagining life on a planet where we could be anyone, the rat race was no more and where sentiment was real. It’s a deeply profound end to an other-worldly EP from two of Ireland's finest artists.

North London producer @rumu returns to Scuffed Recordings with his Wightman Wibble EP, embracing a glut of influences from the city’s club heritage.

Since appearing on the label’s Scuffed Presents compilation series in 2021 with his track Splinter, rumu has begun to foster an in-the-know following with releases on Dusky’s 17Steps and Running Back, with tracks supported by Ben UFO, Logic1000, Cinthie and Raji Rags.

The Wightman Wibble EP delves into rumu’s musical upbringing and heritage and explores a world of contrasts - with stillness building to explosive energy and floating euphoria giving way to murky grooves.

The EP opens with Critical Wass, which rumu conceptualises as having ‘pockets of mass bursting into each other, descending into nothing, then forming again’. Up next is the title track, the most high-energy of the release, which takes influence from classic rave, house, and breaks.

Finishing up the EP is ‘Ravanne’, which sees rumu take influence from his Mauritian heritage, with instrumentation and samples sourced from the island of Mauritius. The Ravanne is a rhythmic percussive instrument used in Sega music, which rumu samples throughout the track and channels through his love of UK bass genres.
