Joe Koshin makes his debut on Buried Records with his new EP ‘Inside’. Originally from Yorkshire, Joe Koshin’s introduction to dance music was forged in the North-east’s lively dance scene. This is where the sounds of Dubstep and Drum & Bass first piqued his interest in Electronic music. Currently based in London, he has developed his style in the renowned dance culture of the capital. As his style developed, flavours of Breakbeat, Electro and Garage began to feature more prominently in his musical output. Rinse FM, Balamii, Planetaria Soundsystem, Childsplay and 199 have all supported Koshin’s recent releases.

With all three tracks from the album being made during the pandemic, eerie tones can be heard throughout the EP reflecting the struggles we have all faced recently. Joe said ‘I got myself into a pretty deep creative rut, and my output was at a real low'. With this lack of motivation, he struggled to make time for music and even considered throwing in the towel.

‘Inside’ was the first track that shifted his musical outlook and brought back the creative spark missing over those difficult months. The opening track brings together floaty vocals, raw Breakbeat and unapologetic bass that injects energy into the EP from the get-go. ‘There’s Nothing’ pays homage to the Brazilian music Joe discovered during the lockdown. Clever sampling fuses this cultural influence with his fierce sound seamlessly and is the hidden gem within this release. The final track ‘Storm Dub’ was initially crafted to a minimal old school 2-step sound but with time evolved into what Joe describes as a ‘Garage-meets-Ghetto’ hybrid.

After temporarily adjusting to life indoors, ‘Inside’ offers a glimpse to the light at the end of the tunnel, when club doors reopen and movement can be seen on dance floors once more.

Algorithmic has been referred to as a "real DJ's DJ" and rightly so. He is one of those producers that if you've been a legit junglist over the past couple of decades, you'll know exactly who he is and how he sounds. One of those "if you know... you know", types of artist. With certified titans of the scene giving him rotation, if you don't know who he is, then you better get to work digging through those digital and vinyl crates. Bombastic amen assaults with unrivalled party energy await. 
The opening track, Catch a Contact is a straight-up hip hop sampling hostile beat down. Imagine being precision punched above the nose with either a drum beat or saturated bass stab in quick succession. Don't be fooled by the use of aggressive metaphors here, it's not a breakcore, nor dark side DnB track, it's just perfectly agro party-jungle.
Busta Domes follows up with a much more flowing feel that is hard to not get lost in, grooving about with a windy ole neck. It hints at subtle juke and footwork flavours, but not enough so you would take it out of the 'big vibey jungle' section in the record shop. The rapid array of rhythm switch-ups and masterful edits keep you on your toes but give you enough space to loosen up into a groove. 

We predict Pump Action may end up being the "people's A-side" by the time summer gets here. Lush, classic jungle pads open it up and lead you gradually into a raving-whirling-dervish. Sirens, a 4/4 sub kick hardcore section, female vocal gates and ragga samples might all sound like trope overload, but not how he uses them. His expertise in his own style and energy is as always, completely refreshing.
There aren't enough Algorithmic records or recorded DJ sets but god damn will we try and put out as many as we can because people just want more.... with their jaw on the floor!

GMETA010 marks the beginning of a new visual chapter. Shaun AZRAK has been working on a new methodology which sees him pushing the boundaries of physical materials and dimensions to create these breathtaking pieces, each of them, as ever, a response to and inspired by the release in question.

We are very proud to welcome the Polish wunderkind Radicall to the Parallax label. His releases on Cantinca Cuts caught our attention and so we reached out and were surprised by the quality of the tracks he sent us. He then continued to write more music for us in the style we represented, and boy did he deliver in no time! We can´t wait to bring you more of him in the future, but for now, here´s a  2x12" with 2 digital bonus cuts as there just was too much good stuff we wanted to show you! The first vinyl is on a darker, outer-worldly tip, the second one represents his more happy/ piano-led tunes. Turn it up!
