San Francisco based DJ and bass extraordinaire Farsight knows how to make an entrance, first bursting onto the scene with his adventurous and daring EP ‘Wisdom’ back in 2016. At the time Farsight's music sounded like it had been beamed from another planet and has played an important role in the cross-pollination of genres we’ve seen in recent years. Farsight has gone on to release on Scuffed Recordings, Maloca and Noire State, remaining firmly fixed on the future of club music. Now his blend of trap, jersey club, reggaeton and dancehall makes its way across the Atlantic with six mind-sizzling cuts for Breaks ‘N’ Pieces vol. 23.

Opening track ‘Triangulation’ combines rolling drums with party-starting vocal samples and steady whistles, letting listeners know we’re really off! ‘Mr Right’ then enters the fray with throbbing subs, ravey stabs and a vocal that sits halfway between fun and outright menacing. The A side comes to a close with ‘Leaving Las Vegas’ a dubstep infused cut of choppy breaks and wide-eyed melodies. A masterclass in raising tension, this track will shut down any club, please use wisely.

‘Lesser Light’ shows Farsight’s love for bass exploration; it’s looming shadow pressing amongst some of the darkest corners of electronic. A unique brand of grime infused techno. ‘Water Margin’ delves even further, adopting a more measured pace for those heads down moments. The record comes to a close with ‘Fulminous Edge’ and is a reflection of the artist’s darkest material. The drums still have a familiar spring in their step but the track’s melodic bassline is mesmerizing; resulting in a melancholy trance that deserves a second play.

PREMIERE: Farsight - Mr Right

Vancouver’s Destrata returns to Scuffed Recordings with three new tracks on his Keepsake EP, backed by a remix from SUCHI.

Originally appearing on London-based label Scuffed in 2023 with his Mutationist EP, Destrata picked up support from the likes of Leon Vynehall, rRoxymore, and Anz among others. Having also released with a ‘who’s who’ of electronic labels in his short career including 3024, SPE:C, and Of Paradise, Destrata was also named an artist to watch in 2024 by Mixmag.

Now returning with his Keepsake EP, Destrata describes his latest work as being altogether more melodic than his previous releases, while keeping drum work front and centre - or as he puts it, “My bass music friends think I make techno & my techno friends think I make bass music.”

Destrata’s melodically-focussed outlook is obvious from the outset, with lofty synths and vocal chops contrasting warping bass and skippy percussion across the EP’s three tracks.

Closing out the release is UK-via-Norway producer and Rinse FM resident SUCHI, who reworks the EP’s title track into a percussive, UK funky-influenced club roller.

LA-based DJ and producer @dj-oj-la is set to make waves this week as her EP Portal Access Points splashes down on @delusional_records. Before the full drop, OJ has shared with us her track Unknown Traveler for a premier here on Peace Portal.

Unknown Traveler wastes no time in taking the listener on light-speed journey through OJ's spatial sound design. Otherworldly textures wrap themselves around the ears as they stretch into the past, giving way to alien rhythms that propel you into the future. Unknown Traveler pulsates like the inner workings of a Dyson Sphere before launch into hyperspace.

Read the full write up from host @feuducamp, including a brief interview with OJ, on the Peace Portal website:

SPOOL

Samurai Breaks unleashes unadulterated breakbeat pressure in the form of the ‘Putting in Werk EP’. Jungle roots and early hardcore vibes feature heavily throughout and with years of experience under his production belt, this new offering is nothing short of a musical education.

Title track vibes a run with ‘Putting in Werk’. A hip hop sampled frenzy full of vocal stabs, rave breaks and an array of ‘92 vibes. All this mixed with an up to date time signature, crisp production and a bucket load of atmosphere.

GQ is certainly the greatest host to ever do it in the jungle scene, probably why he gets sampled so much and ‘Power Hour’ is no exception to the rule. MC vibes flood through the speakerbox, taking you back to the 5-6 in the morning time slot with gritty eyeballs, sore noses and trainers sticking to the concrete. Shouts to Private Caller on this one.

You can’t produce an EP like this and forget about synth chord stabs right? Thankfully ‘Rush’ delivers on all aspects of the requirements and rocks both a tidy sequence of DX7 flavours and rough, tough and somewhat dangerous to your speakerbox breakbeats.

‘Bad Boy Beats’ wraps up the EP in true to form style. A rollercoaster ride of borderline early happy hardcore meets breakbeat techno. Chuck in some jungle vocal samples and what you have here is the perfect end to this trip and the gateway to the next episode.

Ravers rejoice as Samurai Breaks has brought back Fantazia, Obsession and The Edge all at once here. If you remember then good on you and if you want an education into the world of early hardcore.. raise up your hands and leave that iPhone in your pocket.
