Insult To Injury head honcho, Timothy Clerkin, returns to the Ransom Note Records sub-label with four Acid-infused slices of analogue vulgarity, aimed squarely at the newly opened dance floors! 

We kick off with the eponymous “Plasticity”; beginning as a fun, bouncy, Acid number, the vortex soon opens up before us & we’re sucked into a black hole of sound, where time & space is stretched to its limits, disorienting all those who enter. However, we’re spat safely out the other side, landing on luscious bed of warm analogue synthesis, towards home. 

Lead single from the EP, “Would?” is a collaboration with ITI alumni, Buran. Created remotely during lockdown, this reinterpretation of the classic 90’s Alice In Chains anthem has aggressive 909’s thumping & distorted 303’s squelching, as the guitar riffs & vocal melodies of the original are replayed for the club. All proceeds from this single will be going to Mind UK, in tribute to Alice In Chains singer, Layne Staley, who sadly died of an overdose in 2002. 

“Mercurial” is so called due to its ever changing direction: a hard one to attribute to any one genre, it was recorded live with four synths and an 808; proof that sometimes the simplest ideas are the best. “Order 66” closes us out with a shotgun blast of Hardcore / Breaks - a nod to the lofi sampling culture of the early 90’s UK scene, the classic orchestral rave stabs take us back to the golden age of the warehouse party… Whistles at the ready, ravers! 

"Plasticity" will be released on October 8th 2021

Donald's House - Journey to Now-here

Dropping their second Corpus compilation, Ransom Note Records offshoot Insult To Injury showcases gems from the label, past and present. Focusing on remixes from early digital releases, augmented with a brand new mix of Timothy Clerkin, these four dance floor weapons see a release on their rightful format, 12” wax.

Opening proceedings with a meditative, shadowy remix of Timothy Clerkin’s Primary Function, Berlin’s Shokh takes us down into the depths, showcasing his masterful production skills with a lofi trip into the darkness.

Naïve records boss Violet immediately ups the tempo with her skippy, bass-laden take on Apollo View’s II, ratcheting up the original for maximum pumpiness!

Label friend Bawrut chimes in next with his dance floor destroying mix of False Flag from Dark Circles – phasers set firmly to Raze Everything To The Ground And Leave Nothing Standing, Bozza’s inimitable, weaponised Acid will stop the most ecstatic of clubbers in their tracks.

Rounding off, Italian Stallion Younger Than Me takes Shun’s I’ll Never Reach Your Level and turns up the Rave- O-meter to eleven, introducing some vigorous 303 and breakbeat action, pushing it to maximum gurn!

Miki The Dolphin - Apple (L.O.M. Edit)

A regular at Cocktail d’Amore, Bell Towers is a Berlin-based Australian producer best known for his long-lasting collaboration with Munich’s Public Possession. Next to that, a number of projects under different monikers — namely Rim Boys, an evolving b2b with András.

“I'm Moving To Berlin” is his first EP for Cocktail d’Amore Music. It's a sparkling celebration of the party; its influence on the city and on the producer’s life tangents. “It’s too late now / There’s no turning back / I gave it all for Cocktail d’Amor…” Rohan confesses, while a hybrid EBM-synth pop sonic adventure unfolds.

What happens next is presented in “Sexual Intruder Alert” and “Approach and Identify”. The first comes through as a quirky multidimensional future-disco tale, while the second plunges deep into the cosmic hole with punchy percussions and an euphoric groove pattern.

Are You Anywhere? (Olsvangèr Adjustment)

Splashes of faint claret and a network of rusted hooks make for tasteful decor given the BDSM-themed nature of the evening. Once home to old men in blood-soaked aprons, each month, the now derelict meat locker plays host to ’alternative’ 24-hour parties, away from the prying eyes and suffocating restrictions of more traditional clubbing. The collective four millimetres of space between hundreds of muddled bodies makes dancing heated work, marking those with most skin on show as the wisest of the group. Beyond the dimly-lit dance floor in secluded corners are even darker rooms, reserved for hidden intentions.

Legendary British-label Phantasy are manning the release of Cowboy Rhythmbox's next transmission, a mind-bending take on their own '6am Cowboy' from Detroit's Sharif Laffrey, plus a remix of the remix from the London-based duo, with their ‘Deviation Variation'. The two-tracker features an ‘Inception’-level premise and an excellent example of how artists inspire each other's creative process. Our pick ‘Sharif Laffrey’s Deviation’ is a 14-minute reworking of CR’s ‘Terminal Madness' EP, with it’s best elements stitched together in this Frankenstein’s monster of a tech-house track.
