Bristol's Pluralist has been on a steady rise over the last few years, consistently releasing mighty EPs which showcase his take on percussive driven techno and leftfield bass music. He has made appearances on forward thinking club labels such as Control Freak Recordings, Accidental Meetings, Pressure Dome, Left, Right & Centre and a forthcoming EP on Le Chatroom. All of these labels are leading the way for the next generation of producers to come through in the UK, making Pluralist a go-to name in amongst this new wave. Definitely one to watch out for!

To tie in wit his earlier release 'B Squared' on Left, Right & Centre and 'Console' EP on Kouslin's Le Chatroom (out 24th June), Pluralist channels this alluring energy into podcast 118, featuring tracks from the likes of Bluetoof, Simkin, Mosca, Ploy, Breaka, Debba and more.

K-LONE delivers a subtle and subby house roller.

We first caught wind of maya q earlier this year though her sophomore release for London imprint All Centre. Anyone with a penchant for hot footing it to a takeaway after a late night booze up will have had a chuckle at the title of the first track. Merrily, I hastened to the chicken shoppe / beno (soft) marked maya's second outing on the well-respected label, following 2021's I just wanna. 

Both EPs, along with the releases' predecessor on Scuffed Recordings, showcase her experimental approach to creating swung rhythms, low end frequencies and syncopated drum patterns inspired by jungle, UK bass, breaks and UKG, but with her own unique melodic and playful touch.

When maya isn't making music, she DJing as part of the Co-Select crew alongside the likes of TSUNIMAN, Airali and Will Hofbauer, the latter of whom released her most recent musical outing, break rev, on his Third Place imprint.

We got her on board for a mix that threads together the music she loves from poppy electronics to ethereal jungle, liquid DnB and playful vox-soaked rhythms.

Osga EP

Silvestre - 'Osga' EP (Full EP Preview)

Five years since his last solo outing, Pev makes a very welcome return on his own label for Livity Sound's 60th release.

Having focused on expanding the innovative scope of Livity through a prolific release schedule, frequent label nights and the 10th anniversary Molten Mirrors compilation, on the 'Pulse E.P.', Pev delivers on his reputation for inventive, sharply-focused club music with four lean, focused club tracks across the tempo range.

From the crooked formation and pointillist bleeps of ‘Pulse I’ through the light-footed percussion and airy melodies of ‘Pulse II’ to ‘Pulse III’s strafing techno synths and ‘Pulse IV’s surefooted, bass-loaded house jack, it’s an EP of variation and consistency in equal measure. From the infectious, alien melodic lines to the elegant angles of the drums, not to mention the weighty subs, it’s all strikingly fresh and unmistakably Pev.
