PREMIERE: Syz - Life Cycle [Bokhari Records]

A core part of the Control Freak Recordings family, London based artist Keplrr has built a reputation as a deft & talented producer with unparalleled attention to detail. In the wake of the widespread support for his 2020 EP ‘Reconstructed Club’, we asked four producers we have long-admired to flip a track from the original release. The result is ‘Club Reconstructed’ - a collection of remixes which distill the spirit of Keplrr’s original record into new forms.

Syz makes his return to the label after 2019’s highly acclaimed Bunzunkunzun EP, applying his organic touch to Esoteric Functions with a ‘refunction’, which blurs the line between techno and 140 - packing some serious low-end and a cheeky mid-way switch-up to send the dance wild.

Label: Banoffee Pies Records
Artist: Syz
Title: Burner FM
Catalogue Number: BP022SD
Genre: UK Techno / Broken / 140
Release: November 2022

Tracklist:
1. Burner FM
2. Earworm

Banoffee Pies Records welcomes Syz to the label with “Burner FM”. A two track single to warm the mood ahead of his full EP “Headspin” scheduled to land early 2023 from the impressive UK based alt. Techno producer.

Oli’s high quality output of playful and dynamic compositions on show yet again. A long path ahead for this kind soul and a good start point for this cohesive artist-label BPR hook up. Syz carves a distinct sound with clear intention in the cross hybrid field of techno leaning, drum heavy, dubbed out, and often grime inspired broken beat sonics. As always, there’s plenty of subtleties, chaptered progression and unpredictable flurries of hooks to keep you moving.

Premiere: Syz ‘Ozmogolikan’

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.

Since his last outing on Control Freak with the sold-out Bunzunkunzun EP, Syz has built a reputation as one of the UKs most distinctive club producers, weaving playful, percussive techno with soundsystem-driven bass music.

Much of this acclaim started with 2020’s Mindforms - a self-released mini-LP which saw the young producer step away from the dancefloor to explore an expansive sonic world, ‘balancing the tranquility of the ecological world with the immediacy of the digital one’.

The original  release was accompanied by a highly limited run of just 10 dubplates. Deeming this 6-tracker too good not to receive a proper pressing, Control Freak are proud to present the first ever complete vinyl run for Mindforms.

Alongside the record, Syz & Control Freak have curated Clubforms, a collection of remixes from some of our favourite producers, each bringing the original release firmly onto the dancefloor with their own production flourishes.

Meanwhile, @tammohesselink brings deep, European techno flavours to the slate, whilst @keplrr twists ‘Essence’ into a deep, loopy and meandering afterparty favourite. Finally, Syz reworks ‘1E’ in his own inimitable style for his ‘2Es VIP’ - rounding off one of the finest collections of club tracks we’ve ever had the pleasure to present on Control Freak.

After over a year since his debut as a producer, we are proud to present "Limerence," the second album by the Mancunian artist Lucas SM. "Limerence" is more than an album; it's an emotional state that shines in a whirlwind between worlds and genres. Comprising three tracks, each one is a distinct chapter in an emotional journey, whether it be a feeling of euphoria or introspection.

Portraying Lucas SM's distinctive ambient influence, smooth pads, shimmering keys, and a massive soundscape effortlessly evoke a profound connection between the music and the listener. While not forsaking the essential elements of the UK's club sound, the drums and basslines slice through the mix like headlights piercing through the mist.

Through a fusion of the UK and Spanish electronic music scenes, alongside the harmonious blending of ambient and club music elements, this EP delivers three exceptional remixes from industry legends. Galician producer Andrae Durden contributes a trance-infused, gated version of "Lucent," while Bristolian Pluralist treats us with an euphoric, ever-ascending remix of "Within Touching Distance." Last but not least, Brighton-to-Bristol, now London-based Syz delivers a rhythmic and percussive banger version of "Within Touching Distance."

"Within Touching Distance," the album's first single, is now available for pre-order on Bandcamp and for streaming on all platforms. The full release of "Limerence" will be on November 29th.
