Fraxinus - Powerplant Blue
Label: Powerplant
Catalog #: POW3R
Format: Digital Data (Vinyl TBA)
Release Date: 20/05/22

Another colour on the spectrum — Fraxinus delivers a further batch of industrial strength trax with his new EP Powerplant Blue. This is the latest in a series of colour-coded, no-frills white labels on his self-release imprint Powerplant.

Blue sees Fraxinus push the BPM range from previous releases, whilst retaining the same propulsive energy & lean aesthetics he’s known for. X-side up, ‘Interlock’ initiates the sequence with an uncompromising high-tempo workout. The raucous rhythm section rolls like thunder, a formidable breakdown supplying the only moment of respite. Second track ‘Frame Stall’ follows suit with its pounding kicks, upon which an insistent bleep unfolds restlessly.

Flipping to side Y, ‘Uplink’ makes for a dizzying listening experience — deep rolling bass frequencies & an elastic synth being pulled apart before the ears. Despite its bouncing beat, final track ‘Prow’ is a moodier affair. Skittering hihats & distant sirens echo through the mist, rounding out the collection in a heads-down fashion.

4 cuts of armour-plated techno, optimized for maximum warehouse utility — Powerplant Blue will be released 20/05/22 on digital download (vinyl TBA), distributed by Cargo Records.

Here is my edit of 'Dot/Eyes' which comes from one of my favourite band Tortoise's 'It's All Around You' album from 2004. The original was begging to be made into a clubbier edit.

Far away from prying eyes and judgemental looks, the small and cosy venue offered safety and comfort; a space for those in the know to frequent during the nocturnal hours. The same familiar faces loosened their limbs on the dance floor while others sat in dark corners sipping from tall glasses, unaware of whether the outside world were sleeping or going about their daily activities. Time seemed to stand still in this place, as if it operated separately from the social constructs of the rest of the world. 

London's All Centre Records celebrate their 20th release with a two-tracker from No Future co-founder and Threads resident Rackz282. Titled DTRU, the release showcases the Bristol-based producer's knack for vocal manipulation and crafting meticulous drum patterns. Our pick 'Safety Mark' brings melodic vocal stabs and industrial washes, amidst a heavy kick drum and crisp hi-hat patterns that drive the track forward.

Joining the NHS team is Manchester’s own Avernian, whose presence amongst many other contemporary electronic music producers has shone brightly through a slew of releases on Daniel Haaksman’s Man Recordings, Scuffed Records, Row & Circular Jaw; a refined synergy of worldly instrumentation and modern mechanical sounds characterized by oblique rhythm structures defines his works. His foray into the NHS realm comes in the form of ‘Ripper’ – a battle-ready EP that encompasses the stages of conflict through rolling drum work and thunderous atmospheres.

We are called into battle with the title track ‘Ripper’ whose namesake suggests a sense of tearing and viciousness. Commencing with the ominous gong that swims through the emptiness at the beginning of the piece, we are immediately crushed by the monstrous kick drum sequence that dominates the mix of delicate distortion on the hats and mid frequency African percussion guiding it forward.

Following on is ‘Tornado’ taking a much more-fuller, bolder approach to the quality of the soundscape. Still carrying the same focus on rhythm primarily, Tornado chugs along as the 4x4 kick pattern carries the polyrhythmic force into the eye of the storm. Double time tabla keep the furious pace spinning around the outside of the intricate structure of this anarchic clash personified.

Taking the relentlessness of Tornado, Glacial Industries affiliate ELLLL expels the track into the nothingness of space with an exercise in low-end mastery. A distinct lack of high-end sounds, complex, rumbling sub bass hooks and its hammering rhythm help create the haunting mood on her reinterpretation of Tornado, an ideal soundtrack to the aftermath of the devastating storm.

Our last stand is not one that we take on alone; Avernian is joined by Cressida on ‘Canary’. Breathy risers maximise the forcefulness of the rhythmic madness on Canary. Rough, distorted smashes and crashes, much like that of the metal of swords and shields engaged in conflict, maintain the constant energy of the ensuing struggle. A powerful conclusion to the EP, though the war carries on.
