completely missed

The mighty jungle cat roared with abandonment and pride as he ran free from the towering walls of the zoo which had kept him imprisoned for so long. It was no problem that he might never return, the wind blew prominently against his fur as he darted between the trees under the glow of the moonlight. It was desperately cold under the chill of winter but that had been the incentive for a fantastic escape, a driving force behind the evacuation which had been coming for oh so long. 

Apres Ski appears on a new compilation set for release on the 13th of March later this month. He features alongside an array of Irish counterparts on the first compilation being released by Dublin Digital Radio, a station which has championed up and coming Irish talent across the breadth of electronic music.

PREMIERE: Apres Ski - No Prob [Dublin Digital Radio]

This was to be the first time that laboratory would be open to the public and the outside world. The walls were glimmering a pristine white tint whilst the greenery of the plant life which lurked behind the glass windows acted as a stark yet beautiful contrast to the clinicality of the environment. "001.1" had been a long time in the planning, it was important for a company as rogue and vagabond as theirs to at least pretend that those from the outside world were welcome within their sphere of chaos...

Nacieae appears on a new EP set for release on Tact Recordings. The imprint has moved from strength to strength across the last six years, this time they turn their focus towards the abstract elements of dub.

@mergelayers - the label run by Italian producers Natlek and Nobel - is starting a new monthly digi-only single series. The first offering comes from @circuit900, a Danish duo composed of Nicolas Hansen (Variete/Lattice) and Jens Madsen (Pastiche).

Operating somewhere near the intersection between house, electro and UK bass music, 'Bakheng' is a certified stomper with the most ferocious drums you'll have heard in a while.

PREMIERE: Circuit 900 - Bakheng [Merge Layers]

The funny shaped creature marched prominently across the floor. It toddled back and forth between the four walls and looked surpised as it recreated the same delicately crafted route again and again. Shiu was his name, a thing of beauty which the rich had brought upon a great ship from overseas, he was far from home and very much alone amidst a kingdom of wealth, power and might. The trumpets roared in the courtyard outside as the guards marched upon the cobbles. The creature shivered up in the high tower. 

Thiago Nassif is set to release a new album on the widely praised record label, Foom. The imprint has become synonymous with quality having previously released music by the likes of Peter Zummo, Arthur Russell, NDF and more. Listen to the talents of the Brazilian maestro in collaboration with Arto Lindsay.

@moveltraxx's Street Bangers Factory series comes to a close this week with the ninth edition. Over the course of three years the label has been showcasing high octane dancefloor weapons from the likes of MikeQ, Mighty Mark & TT The Artist, Big Dope P, DJ Earl, Lockah, Morgan Hislop and loads more.

Teklife star @deejay-manny-2 - whose 'Greenlight' was one of the best albums of 2017 - contributes a whipcrack juke cut that's over before you've even had a chance to draw breath. The frantic rhythms of 'It's House' mark another worthy entry in his arsenal of footwork battle anthems.

@reclusebeats

A well overdue addition to the NHS realm comes in the form of Australian club aficionado Recluse with an interstellar 5-tracker titled ‘Golden Wings’. Early works from Ryan are heavily inspired by American-themed club aesthetics, calling for Jersey Club, Baltimore and Ballroom rhythmic structure and sonics, and his debut on NHS presents the same deep-seated quality, yet jettisoned into the cosmos, as Recluse states he found himself ‘Building on fanciful worlds and settings, in which I am the one orchestrating the soundtrack for these landscapes. The Golden Wings EP is no stranger to this methodology, this time calling upon the outer worlds, sci-fi entrenched tracks with a glimpse of the galaxies above.’

Ryan concludes – ‘Golden Wings' is a club-ready assortment of tracks that glide through the galaxies I've come to know through futuristic fantasies. An ode to the many adventures and escapades that have transpired there; and are to transpire there. A shining demonstration of how these themes have shaped the themes found within my productions.

@Limatraqs - Samba X (ETS008)

In 2016-2017, Lima travelled down from Glasgow, where he lived at the time, to go to the first set of ETS warehouse parties in a converted commercial unit in Manor House, north London. Inspired by the industrial take on UK funky, tribal house and latin rhythms played at the parties, he produced Samba X between these trips – a shuffling, shifting hard drum track with cavernous hits and menacing low subs.

The track circulated as a favourite dub among the producers and DJs involved in the parties, and the extended crew, from then on. A perfect snapshot of the early ETS vibe that sounds just as fresh today.
