L's (with Gillielove)

Had it always been this grey and miserable? She couldn't remember the last time she saw the sun; felt its rays beaming down on her face. What a difference it made to just about everything in life... Any mournful or anxiety-inducing feelings seemed to evaporate as soon as the weather brightened up, but this year that thick cloud wouldn't shift. It could be a while before she'd get more sun...

Redstone Press are returning with their first release of 2023 and a brand new signing: Berlin-based Londoner Kincaid. Known for his intricate sound design and slick stripped-back compositions, this fresh four-track release is another masterclass in his tight approach to production whilst expanding his sound even more. Across the release he balances eerie atmospheres and textures with crisp percussion, chopped vocals and precise drum programming for a brilliant debut effort on the burgeoning Glaswegian imprint.

Don't Get No Sun

PREMIERE: Kincaid - Getting More Sun [Redstone Press]

Pain Management welcomes London cult favourite DJ ojo, who arrives on the label with a hazy three tracker of trademark nether zone system music. On his most dubbed out full length to date, ojo span’s the full emotive spectrum of dub sonics with a range of both the eerie and more tender expansions of low end atmospherics, the resulting 12” equally suited for the club and the journey home alike.

‘Tongue Tied’ opens the record, a lysergic offering from the darker edges of dub music. A slippery fugue-state hit of narco-ambience built around a crooning, intelligible vocal refrain and chest shot sub weight. A real nightfall system pusher built to simmer in the early hours. It kicks off the EP on an amorphous, hypnotic note that sustains throughout.‘Oil Dub’ sinks deeper into the fog, melodic kinesis and expansive delays upholding an underworld of feedbacked percussion and tongue in cheek sub motion; a seven minute sound bath of ambiguous dub ASMR.

The B-side balances out the darker strains found on its counterpart with an overtly tender digidub closer. Clocking in at almost ten minutes long ‘Cloud Suck’ is a nebulous bliss of perpetually ascending late-summer warmth. The kind of liminal dream-state embrace that you wish would never end. True to the name, it evokes tender, dusk and dawn hued moments, a quiet ride-home flash of introspection on the way to or from some pursuit of meaning. Pain Management essential right here.

Limited run of 200 hand-stamped 12” records available now.

DH010 – Notte Infinita
Manila Killer Float / Slippery Ruff

Two ultra-wet, slippery dancehall mutations, completed during the hottest summer days in a few sweaty sessions at Studio Distante.

Manila Killer Float is an uplifting bubbly dancehall thing with a Vybz Kartel acapella chopped up and sprinkled on top. Tried to fight gravity and catch the last summer breeze with the beat floating on those airy pads – and of course celebrating the release from prison of the World Boss.

Slippery Ruff is the chugger-town cousin of Slippery Tuff, from INDEX:records EP I Lost All My Data. I took the bpm down from 120 to 90 and ruff‘d it up with some extra dust and bass weight for good measure.

Twuan - Factorize (Silent Era Remix)

CCL launches their subglow label with Rebuild, an EP from Bristol club provocateur @georg-i, featuring remixes from Metrist and the elusive B. McQueen.

After years of lighting up the dance floor at subglow and serving as a cornerstone in club sets, Rebuild is finally getting an official release to the public. georg-i’s previous releases on Perko’s FELT and aya & BFTT’s YCO imprints have established him as an incendiary club constructor probing the fringes of contemporary dance music. The release will be accompanied by poetry from subglow co-conspirator and artist Nadia Marcus, co-founder of Berlin experimental publishing platform TABLOID Press.

Informed by the restlessness of living in an apocalyptic present and the desire to rebuild the broken systems surrounding us, Rebuild is influenced by math rock's feverish and cataclysmic energy, eschewing conventional club BPMs in favour of dizzying tempo trickery and polymetric wizardry. “Torn In Two” gets off to a slow, chugging start, with raucous synths riffing over emphatic drums, but soon swirls into a juddering, pointillistic frenzy. “Bridging The Gap” is a cathartic shout, an acidic crescendo whose triplet meter offers tempo-transitioning opportunities for adventurous DJs who don’t mind a bit of maths. “Communication” gallops along cathartically through ricocheting synths and drums, unfolding into a thrilling breakdown. On remix duties, B. McQueen re-imagines “Torn In Two” as a sultry, dubbed-out roller, charting groove across a heady plain, while Metrist’s ambitious rework of “Communication” amps up the tension and primes it for a peak-time dancefloor sometime in the next millennium.

@SSSLIP and @Betonbrutt have tapped up grime pioneer Trim to add his bars on 17th Grid release, pressed for the first time on vinyl !

Trim steps up to the mic for the lead track, 'Pigeons', which brings next-gen grime energy with raw, club-ready vibes and menacing bars that are underpinned by a wobbly low end, and it's all perfect for dance floor detonation. 'Transit Limb' dives into a nostalgic yet forward-thinking fusion of experimental grime and UK bass that subtly echoes the sounds of the early 2010s with twisted breaks and chopped vocals.
The boys also invited @Notiiton and @BeatriceMasters for two great remixes, Noti turned the lead track into a precise electro banger and Beatrice drowned Transit Limb to the darkest depths of the ocean to close the EP.

Transit Limb (Beatrice M. Remix)

@sepehr-a @specrecords
First time I came across SPE:C was through Sepehr’s elegant chugger « Roll the Dice », I’ve now had the opportunity to do my own take on it, very much inspired by 2010s techy dubstep from the likes of Asusu, Fureshu, A Made Up Sound, etc …channeling milimalism and nostalgia. 
Also on the remix pack is Jasmin’s halftime groover remix of my track « Calibre » part of the Take a Sip EP I did on SPE:C last year

@georg-i and @olderbrotherolderbrother join forces on 'Warm Skin'. The EP is a journey through slick, hi-tek bass and trip-hop injected with gritty vocal poetry.

Its first single 'Foundations' is a cool-headed club weapon, weaving between Older Brother's night-bus lyrics and slick drumscience from georg-i — halftime at its most minimal, potent, and sultry. Don't sleep.

𝔰𝔲𝔟𝔤𝔩𝔬𝔴 personifies our desires for meaning outside a singular form, angles outside regimented pulses, breaking apart to put back together. 

Crashing through the ceiling into the sky, nestled between softness and roughness, where you start and where the world ends, flickered beyond the hegemonic download... a resistance against incessant categorization, beyond genres, finding meaning in the inbetweens. 

Bliss-textual paradigms bring us closer, unique velocities taking us deeper, tapping into our unfiltered potential in a fresh reality; objects at rest waiting for a chemical reaction, coming to life for an infinite moment.
