Match My Sway - Sha Ru [WZY003]

EMA’s Woozy label returns with @sharu 's Match My Sway EP; a powerful club record that sits proudly in the canon of modern protest music; written in 2021. Dubstep-influenced electronics meet spoken word on the continued struggle of oppressed nations’ fight for liberation. Comes with a slamming Walton remix, with all artist profits going towards the Kyiv Angels and Repair Together charities in Ukraine.

Sha Ru are a New York-via-Berlin based duo renowned for their deft mix of spoken word and club electronics, gaining notoriety thanks to their exhilarating productions and renowned live, hybrid and DJ sets. Having spent most of their time based between two different countries, the covid pandemic unexpectedly united the band in Belarus and subsequently Ukraine for an extended period of time. They quickly found themselves immersed in each country’s  respective electronic music scene, building strong relationships within each community. It quickly became apparent that both countries were actively fighting for their future freedom, and the duo felt compelled by the unity they experienced in this to respond with music. This resulted in Match My Sway, a record chronicling resistance both lyrically and sonically that found a suitable home
on EMA’s impressively futurist-leaning Woozy imprint.

The EP opens with Temporary Iteration, a fierce steppers track with plummeting subs that chronicles a moment of transition into clarity by focusing on the ‘now’; staying true to your belief by moving directly towards your goal together. Not Fluctuating ups the sonic ante with hefty kicks, drill snares and potent throbbing bass, while the vocals describe the feeling of ultimate resistance in the name of seeking the truth.

Side B enters with Synced Energies, acting as the EP’s thrilling climax. Percolating synths pogo around a 2-step beat providing chest-gripping catharsis. Lyrics repeat a mantra of unity, refuting
divisions. Tectonic and Ilian Tape affiliate Walton sees us out with the intense stuttering rave mechanics of his Not Fluctuating remix, a modern techno monster that deserves to be enjoyed on a 10ft tall rig; a complimentary take on a powerful original.

DjBadshape met Sinistarr at the 2023 Movement Festival, where he was playing on the Detroit stage, and it was then that she became fascinated by Torpor, originally released on his Everything On Time EP in 2019. Her 170 bpm remix adds a new dimension to the original, replacing the melancholy synths with an autonomic drum and bass vision.

The JUDDER label is back with the next part of its VA compilation. This time, we have something special — ten DJ-friendly tracks and tools, half of which were created exclusively using live gear. As usual, the concept of the series remains intact, bringing together seasoned true-to-the-craft professionals and rising newcomers.

Kercha leads the compilation with an experimental, grime-influenced tool simply titled "33". On the more breakbeat-leaning side, we have Unbroken Dub with his slow-paced, reflective story-teller "Other Desert Cities"; Cultrow, who is quite literally "Killin'" it with a stripped-back weapon that evolves into a half-time dubstep rattler before returning to its original pace; and JUDDER resident Oddkut, showcasing his interpretation of what can be called a tribal sound in "Tribal Trax", filled with subtle but ear-catching elements while maintaining a minimalist approach. Rotterdam’s very own Samwho isn’t far from the breakbeat and tribal vibe either, delivering an interesting hybrid with "Ura-Hara", featuring rhythms and shuffles inspired by earlier proto-dubstep productions. On the more experimental side, Anymodal takes things up a notch to virtually confuse the listener, bringing the concept of "slowfast" to a new level with his percussive-infused halfstep mind-blower "Tronic". Meanwhile, for those who like it simple, Raciya Bağdad demonstrates his gear-handling skills with a pretty straight-forward techno-tool "Vietnam Flashback", and Jovani Boa offers a clever yet discreet blend of acid and electro with "Flex Town". There’s even a hypnotic, easy-listening dub-techno fusion, courtesy of Dawn Razor and his track "Push 'n' Pull". Lastly, this time up-and-coming producer Anned is honored to round off the compilation with her gritty track "Annoying Hornet", reminding everyone what JUDDER and its sonic vision are all about.

The second instalment of the JUDDER compilation has not only gathered artists with diverse backgrounds, production styles, and approaches but also a wide range of genres and styles, carefully curated and blended to create a long-playing journey for listeners to explore.

Building on the success of Procedures, his label debut, Mercy System, returns to Of Paradise with Othering, a momentous, street-savvy collection of sub-heavy and sleekly futuristic bass music custom-built for the more discerning dance floors out there. Featuring three original tracks and one inimitable and whacked-out remix by rising Nottingham talent Coralie, Othering demonstrates the clear-cut evolution of Mercy System's style, showcasing his ability to redefine the UK’s underground sound with each new release.

Dynamic in scope, Othering is a headstrong collection of contorted, lights-down dance music and sinuous atmospherics, and another standout release for artist and label alike.
