Amsterdam-based DJ, producer and biologist Teqmun is next up on Nerve Collect with Worms Still Have To Eat The Dirt, a six-track EP of blistering fusion sounds that come with remixes from Ma Sha and TSVI.

Tijmen Blokzijl's work is an involving eco-system of electronic collisions - IDM, breakbeat techno and bass are in constant mutation as he layers in deft melodies, cooks up punchy rhythms and screws about with synths. He has done so on the likes of Sann Odea, Traumgarten, Flippen Disks and on self-released EPs that have all constantly pushed at the fringes of sound design. Now he brings all that together again across four electrifying tracks for Gamma Intel and Identified Patient's Nerve Collect.

This EP finds Teqmun departing from the cute and colourful elements of previous releases and becoming inspired by the harsher phenomena in nature, such as a high speed escape of hopping desert rodents called Jerboa, deadly sea slugs and fluffy Echinopsis cactus. I am often inspired by nature and its images and quickly get real sounds or feelings of atmosphere in my head when I see images of natural processes. In this case, it’s grimmer natural processes that inspired me which is why these tracks are much wilder than previous releases, therefore they fit in perfectly with Nerve Collect.

'Hand Full of Fluff' kicks off with a playful rhythm and churning bass that is brought to life with prickly percussion. Shards of melody and scattered hits are fired like ray guns across the track. The EP title track is an impossibly kinetic rhythm with fizzing textures and thudding kick patterns that sound like techno made purely by malfunctioning AI. That same sense of futurism pervades ‘A Jerboa's Escape' which has tightly coiled and broken-up drum patterns looping below eerie, unsettling pads that glow brightly in the percussive chaos. 'Corn Has Ears' is another physical club rhythm made from millions of tiny fragments that all coalesce around a harrowing bassline and 'Slug No Escargot' brings dystopian raps to static-laced bass and harder drum patterns. Last of all is the bouncy and buoyant 'Optimistic' with its post-trap vocals and thrilling club rhythms.

First to remix is New York innovator Ma Sha. She flips 'Slug No Escargot' into a percussive workout with writhing bass and cyborg vocal shards that soundtrack an intergalactic meltdown. Next comes London-based Italian TSVI. His take on 'Optimistic Fly' is big, elastic techno with decaying synth leads and zippy pads pulling you in several directions at once.

Teqmun's Worms Still Have To Eat The Dirt EP manages to sound completely out of this world while also connecting on a deeply emotional level.

“Anclaje” es el tercer trabajo en solitario del productor y dj valenciano norim. Sus dos cortes se sitúan entre la pertenencia y el extrañamiento, sirviendo como medio para conectar con el cuerpo y abandonar el plano racional.

Es por ello que, tanto “Cruzado” como “Tendido”, simbolizan un oasis suburbano en medio de bloques de cemento y asfalto: compacto y sin embargo liviano. Pensados desde y para el soundsystem; constituyen dos herramientas fundamentales para lxs amantes del Dub/Bass y las líneas de bajo densas y cadenciosas.

“Cruzado” es el inicio de un descenso forzado a la corporalidad. Acompañado de unos toques sutiles de instrumentación etérea y sirenas, los drums espaciados se entremezclan con un bajo potente que no necesita competir para ganarse el puesto de protagonista principal.

“Tendido” nos mete de lleno en un ritmo poderosamente sincopado, atravesando valles y pendientes sin dejarnos más alternativa que la de “bailar bajito”, aproximadamente a la altura del subgrave que apunta directamente a las entrañas.

“Anclaje” is the third solo release from Valencian producer and DJ norim, composed of two cuts situated somewhere between pulls of belonging and the pushes of estrangement where the rational mind can be left behind.

Symbolising something of a suburban oasis amidst a jungle of concrete and asphalt, “Cruzado'' and “Tendido” are compact yet light pockets of sound. These essential tools for lovers of the intersection between Dub and Bass are packed with pressurised basslines and rhythms made with a soundsystem in mind.

Corporeal opening track “Cruzado” begins and forces us to descend into our bodies as touches of ethereal instrumentals and sirens move us through spaced-out drums and a powerful bassline that takes the lead in the composition.

Visceral cut “Tendido” then immerses us in a powerfully syncopated rhythm, traversing peaks and troughs of sound that leave our dancing bodies no choice but to sink down to a level approximately at the height of a subwoofer.

SWINGING FLAVORS #13

Première : Naco - Purewater (Swinging Flavors)

Typeless returns for its 11th release, featuring the talents of Pluralist and Obake in a standout 2-track EP. Bristol-based Pluralist builds on a successful year by collaborating with the enigmatic Obake, a pseudonym for a renowned producer. Together, they deliver a cohesive release, merging their unique ideas into two powerful, club-ready tracks.

Pre-Order

Pluralist & Obake - 'Giggle / Siren' [TPLS011]

Pulling further Bristol-based talent into the NHS gravitational pull we have Portway with his contribution ‘Conduit’; two original productions that cover disparate energies which coincide emotionally and sonically As playful, 3D-printed pieces designed to induce warmth and joy into an otherwise often dark, ominous space. Coupled with each original are stellar remix works from Tacit Gleam on an expedition into the system, along with Nostro mainstay Dayzero.

Portway’s offerings carry with them a more minimal sense of pace and design, moving perceptibly into an acutely functional style that match each other across opposite zones of the dancefloor. Lights flare past
your vision as your streamlined craft pushes its way through the wormhole. You’re smiling the whole time. Then all at once, warmth turns to cold – day turns to night. Concluding, we plummet to the rocky surface of the planet to explore the alien beneath the surface.
