'What Would I Do With Saturn' (LT084)

Keanu Raves is back with his most slamming and varied release for Club Unique to date: Don’t @ My Drum Machine. 

The title track sees Positiva-esque leads and drums meet a growling 303 bass line for a no-nonsense dance floor workout. On Cosmic Jam, Keanu dreams of an intergalactic rave on board the Discovery One, but it sounds like his drum machine isn’t the only sentient machine on this trip! 

Spring Breaka finds a sturdy 4 to the floor rhythm paired with insistent rave stabs and vocal chops to form a punishing club tool. Closing out the EP is Clubman Stage Route 5, a euphoric slow burner best suited for a weekend drive into the sunset.

PREMIERE: Keanu Raves - Don't @ My Drum Machine [CU009]

Following the release of Twisted Heads comes Slacker’s most complete work to date. The artist's debut LP - What Would I Do With Saturn - arrives on Lobster Theremin on Friday 2nd July and demonstrates Slacker’s killer ear for capturing the cross-sections that exist within UK sound; floating between the artist's drum & bass upbringing and introspective, world-building electronica. 

‘As I Fear The Ground Opening’ represents the anxious rush when the bubbles start to rush and your time of total freedom reaches its inevitable end; it’s frantic drum patterns scoring an intense scene, trancey atmospherics enticing you to keep turning the corner. ‘Unturned’ continues down the cinematic route, before the B-side introduces Slacker’s breaks heritage: ‘One Hundred Ideas’ sounding reminiscent of the fire wave of experimental, stripped-back percussion currently championed by the likes of Al Wooton and his TRULE label; green fields, optimism and wicked breaks. 

‘My Own Moon’ channels open-the-clubs energy with a percussive melter, before completing the B-side with a call to arms on ‘The New Face of England’; it’s trap-techno energy encapsulating the anger and frustration felt in the face of rising English nationalism. 

Staying true to the testament of his most complete work to date, Slacker relentlessly switches up his sonic palette in pursuit of differing - yet uniquely connected - experiences, entering future-electro territory on the C-side; ‘Nothing Is Enough’ giving off Tron Legacy largeness - temporarily paused by the emo-ambience of ‘the myth of visibility’ - before ‘Void Hopping’ crashes back down to earth with that rough-edged, raw aesthetic that has become so synonymous with the Slacker name. 

The climatic D-side provides the most mixed bag yet; ‘Prisoner Of War’ opening an unmarked door as we venture further into the UK’s underground; the smells and sights of a packed-out jungle rave being expressed through ripples, blares and vaporous breaks, while the nostalgia inspired ‘Summer Of ‘18’ - featuring Guy Liner - offers a synthy, nu-disco vibe that manages to incorporate the emotional aesthetic that has been built throughout the album. 

‘let these waves wash upon’ you draw the curtains as we take a deep breath to venture back into a scary world that lies beyond the door. A world of dreams, fears, love and sadness. Optimism, hopelessness, anxiety and inspiration. The world is opening up, and Slacker’s rise is imminent.

Lands Friday 2nd July 🔥

Premiere: Slacker - Unturned [Lobster Theremin]

Intercept is proud to introduce Breda-based visual artist and musician Mathilde Nobel with her debut EP called 'Stone'.

The EP starts with 'Thunder'. A cello and minimal, but supporting, instrumentation set the stage for Mathilde's vocals to shine. The song takes you into a downward spiral into Mathilde's psyche finally coming to a climax that feels like rain clattering on the castle's courtyard.

We're then taken to the lead track 'Stone' which combines strong bass grooves, loud, thunder-like, crashes, and deconstructed beats with Mathilde's singing.

'A' builds on that abstract side of the EP, and interchanges melodies for experimental percussion and beats. It's a dizzying experience where snares and lo-fi drum hits build-up to the final outro of the EP, concluding the story.

'Stone EP' is a unique endeavor in the inner workings of a young artist showing full potential in such an early stage.

“The main idea was to think 'what would an outside observer to our planet think when looking down at this moment in time, what does the moon think when looking down on us?'” he says. “It was a way of me both building another world whilst also expressing the strife of the world that we were living in. I was lucky enough to be quite secluded in the first lockdown around a lot of nature, but then feeling the isolation ten-fold as I was so far away from civilisation. I think that the album has this schism represented in it with the more classically "nice" tracks standing next to the more aggressive and expressive tracks; it is both an escape and capturing of the world we live in.”

The Bass Society - 13 Juin 2021

Smoked Glass is the debut EP from WeTurnToRed (@s_h_a_m), a Syrian-born, Tamil/Canadian that grew up in the outskirts of Toronto. As a suburban arts high school kid she studied and trained in opera and jazz. After tagging along with her older brother to a rave in the mid-90’s Toronto scene, a love for electronic music was ignited.

She has been marinating in the studio for years, delving into the sounds of modular and analog synths where growling basslines and haunting melodies are a subject of her affection.

What began as a sound piece created to accompany an alien-themed art exhibit in Philadelphia quickly evolved into something far more expansive before making its debut at the show. “sounds from an otherworldly place” is a sonic odyssey: a story of interstellar exploration and transformation told in five acts across space and time.

On this radical departure from her usual style, Mazy showcases her versatility by pushing the boundaries of her own craft. Experiments in sound design, synthesis, and field recording coalesce into haunting atmospheres and emotionally rich ambient worlds.

What emerges is both cosmic and intimate: a meditation on fear and fascination with the unknown.
