BFlecha - 金剛の (Kongô No)[prod. Judah]

A long time operator in Stockholm's small but insistent underground music scene, Art Alfie broke through internationally in 2012 with the Karlovak project, founded with on-off studio and dj partner Rudolf Nordström, a.k.a. Mr. Tophat. The duo's inexplicably fresh takes on classic dance music tropes were as much a result of a brilliantly odd pairing of personalities as of a defined concept and precise method in searching for the perfect house groove.

While writing Reveries Of, released February 2017 through Studio Barnhus, Art Alfie freed himself of all conceptual footholds, delving instead deep into his archives of old and new memories and feels, working with improptu field recordings and emotionally-guided sampling processes. He came back with an intricate and personal debut album and you better believe he didn't lose that groove on his way.

nthng finally follows up his four stunning EPs with a full album proper, arriving in a whopping 3xLP pack.

Arriving a good 6 months after the LT029.5 album sampler which debuted both Soms and In My Dreams, nthng adds another seven hazy, hooded techno bangers to those to make up a pretty dazzling body of work.

Opener 'Touches' is true ambient bliss, with shrouded, blissful synths fuzzing into view and cut through by a soft low distant sunlight. 

Both Galaxy and Eternal thump into view with a hi-paced drums colliding and clashing with syncopated stabs and smooth dusty baselines, recalling the tender techno-trance precipice danced by Dutch producers at the start of the 90's.

The huge mysterious fan favourite and title track It Never Ends gets it's pride of place with 9 mins of deep, cavernous techno, all rippling with epic string-synths and washes of mountainous reverb.

Even deeper numbers are extracted from the hard-drive, including the pensively, digitally-bubbling computer jam Unity sitting tidily alongside the super deep and subtle rolls of Abyss.

Rounding the album out is the appropriately-titled Last. A dark, shimmering, almost emotionless number that cements a different idea of the future. A hard, pounding, yelping, depth-charged technoid closer.

For us, the album feels like a real masterpiece, conjuring a spectrum of intimate and emotive moods, feelings and nostalgia-tinged memories that float into the mind, like the settling fog in the valley on a crisp winters morning.

The elusive and enigmatic Brazilian producer ‘CoastDream’ resurfaces this spring on X-Kalay with his third EP, and arguably best work to date.

CoastDream has garnered something of a cult following of late; his instantly recognisable brand of woozy 5am power house and DIY club tracks form a signature sound few can touch. We’re super excited to welcome him into the X-Kalay family. 

Title track ‘Soft Moon’ opens with those thundering CoastDream drums and a buzzing, infectious bassline before evolving into some seriously expansive blue sky house. Classic piano stabs, dreamy pads and woodwind-esque melodic interplay combine to carry us high into the South American sunshine.

A2 continues in a similar vein but leads us down a distinctly more tropical path. Bongos, shakers and that massive tom underpin the rhythm whilst we are serenaded on the breeze floating from a distant desert island, ‘Oh La La…”

On the flip, B1 takes us back to basics with a classic CoastDream club jam. More closely resembling the aesthetic of his earlier releases; ‘About You’ hits hard with punchy drums, that trademark kick, and a basement groove that just cannot be ignored.

Closing things out ‘La Esperanza’ launches a real curve ball; splintered breaks and growling bass paying a bone shattering homage to the darkest of 90's jungle >:)

Don’t take your eyes off this one!

Released 31st March 2017.

Alongside three whirlwind original tracks, the title cut on Bwana's new EP 'Three Is The Hard Way' features a remix from fellow Berlin-based artist, Avalon Emerson, another producer who's experiencing a blaze of glory surrounding her recent EP releases and widely-praised DJ sets. 

The two artists coming together is a match made in heaven and after they released a fantastic split EP via Emerson's​ Cybernedits series last year, it couldn't have happened again sooner.
