Geotact:
‘chosen for ornament, stone matched with stone’

Fiesta Soundsystem and XMTR bring you GEO01, First Colour, the inaugural release on their new label, Geotact. Equal parts tender and visceral, mixing impressions of the ‘natural’ with the intrinsic artifice of electronically produced sounds.

Serpentine

PREMIERE: Pugilist - Serpentine [Of Paradise]

Butch U - Night Drive

To kick off the SYN12 catalog, we’ve brought together 5 exclusive tracks from Northern producers Baccy Beard, Krotone, Ren, Wooda and Yilan.


A short-run of tapes will be pressed with exclusive artwork by Lucas Owen.


The EP aims to set the tone of the label and match the energy of the syn12 nights, keeping a shining light on underground club music .


The opening track ‘Bright Light’ injects a dark dose of swing to the lineup, with a swaggering 808 bounce and shuffle-step drum pattern designed to move crowds. The sultry vocal line and warped bass is fit for any warehouse or club rave, and Krotone carries the momentum throughout.


Yilans contribution is a syncopated lock-step workout of abstract percussion and sound design. The pulsing bass tones and skeletal beat science employed in ‘Vog’allude to the more sinister corners of dubstep and down-tempo electronic beats.


The gritty third track snatches back into a higher speed. ‘Revive’embodies a hectic agglomeration of styles, snagging transecting elements of drum & bass and European techno filled with dark moods, snarling bass and intense rhythms.


Ren brings a 2-step pace to the fourth track ‘Torque’, delivering cybernetic dancehall grooves and tuned resonances with laser-guided automation. The breakdown offers a dark glimpse of euphoria, with a devastating drop and white-hot synth lead.


Closing off the Compilation: Baccy Beard’s uncluttered transmission of rave-hybrid engineering locks into the angular dimensions of electro and grime, with mad flashes of jagged bass and icy synths for good measure.


The state of modern UK Techno is a complex one, but as a collection of tracks Syn12’s first release joins the dots between some of the disparate but contingent dance floor methodologies with and mix of joy and dread. This compilation provides a snapshot to a community of assertive DJs and producers ready to set minds and feet in motion
