Releases

Our sixth VA compilation continues in the collective spirit at the heart of Pressure Dome; here taking its fullest form. The first of its kind in the label catalogue, ‘Two [Is Greater Than] One’ sees a selection of PD regulars and friends of the label put their heads together across eight atmospheric tracks, equally as suited to the club as to solo listening. 

Those who have followed the label for a while will be no stranger to the comp’s first collaborator. Human Resources teams up with London dub techno specialist, Keplrr, on ‘Spring’: a mood-led composition where the impact is contained in atmosphere. Fragmented drum breaks are engulfed by airy synth pads and punctuated by a dancehall-indebted rhythm that marches at 90BPM. ‘Yuppel’ welcomes Noods Radio mainstay Sid Quirk aka Keppel into the mix. He is joined by label boss, Yushh, on a ruminative percussive tool, guided by cavernous drums that fabricate a vivid, immersive environment. With the guidance of Brighton’s Caldera, the journey continues with Süss Choc. The reverb-laden synth plucks on ‘evoke water droplets, and hallucinatory details echo around them to create the illusion of being in a mountainous cove.

Delay Grounds – an audiophile in the truest sense of the word – is next to take the baton. Together, he and Yushh take it up a notch on ‘Telomere’ – a full-bodied club-ready track packed with glitchy chords and giddy drums. A gnarly, Pariah-esque breakdown segues into the track’s second wind where pitched-up vocal chops accelerate it to the compilation’s energetic climax. With the help of London drum specialist, Syz, ‘Fuzbidun’ keeps our feet firmly on the dancefloor. Breakbeats are chopped and rearranged, flitting between double and half time whilst a distorted mid-bass roughens things round the edges, prepping the ground for the compilation’s move to a more inorganic feel.

Bristol don, Forever, joins Yushh next on ‘Passing Notes’ – a groove-driven club track where skittish percussion ricochets from side to side, so palpable it tempts the touch. ‘Crash Bash Party At BUFOs’ is no different. The link-up between Delay Grounds and dance music’s stalwart of musique concrète, Wordcolour, is completely idiosyncratic to both artists: the perfect combination of found-sound percussion and skillfully rehashed vocal samples. It’s up to two PD mainstays – Roy Mills and Human Resources – to close proceedings. A chugging rhythm bubbles under the surface of ‘Sycophantasy’, sending us on a dubbed-out trip before picking the pace back up again.

Taking cues from each other’s unfinished projects and bouncing ideas back and forth, the pair serve up the fastest EP the label has released to date.

noRecall - Kinda Squishy [OMM011]

Just in time for the season of air-so-thick-you-could-cut-it-with-a-knife, Ommaya co-founder noRecall is back with an icey haul of season-ready tracks. His third EP on the label - dubbed 'Kinda Squishy' - focuses all of his efforts on what he knows best - otherworldly sound-system music. The four original tracks - 'Blah,' 'Fake a Smile,' 'Squish,' and 'Look Man' - are classic noRecall, worming their way into your mind and feet.

Supporting him are four of contemporary club music's most provocative purveyors, all hawking their brand of high-octane, unrelenting styles for the dance floor.

Mirin Doja, a fellow Seattleite and celebrated high-bpm academic, making appearances on labels like Juke Bounce Werk and Delusional Records, takes the track 'Look Man' and gives it her gun-finger treatment, flipping it into a heaving UKG slammer.

The similarly Seattle-based Jason Code (a Terminal 8 alumni and co-head of Seattle's rising club night Data Club - a who's who of IYKYK dance music energy helping to revitalize the city's scene,) lends his signature Jason Codification to 'Squish,' imbibing it with the energy of a grinning, toothy, ear-to-ear grin.

CDMX's own Octoptic - co-founder of WavaWava - returns to Ommaya after his fan-favorite contribution to Ommaya's Solstice compilation in December 2023, bringing along a non-stop, high-energy rendition of 'Look Man' with enough momentum to break through peak-time in a packed room.

Last but not least, Egyptian club music wizard 3Phaz - fresh off a year of features on labels like TraTraTrax, YUKU, and Low Income $quad - graces the label with his flip of 'Fake a Smile' - upping the pace by more than a few notches and turning it into a chugging, metallic heater sure to find its way onto plenty of USBs this Summer.
