another new track in a fresh style to my previous dnb releases with a unique vibe

Este álbum se despliega como un tejido sonoro que entrelaza lo espiritual con lo terrenal, invitando al oyente a un recorrido donde cada tema es una estación en un viaje contemplativo. La selección de piezas revela un equilibrio entre introspección, movimiento y pausa, articulando un relato que fluye con naturalidad pero que no teme a la fragmentación, como si el tiempo mismo se doblara en pequeñas escenas musicales.

El comienzo con **“oto no inori”** abre un espacio casi ritual. Su título, que evoca la idea de una “oración del sonido”, se traduce en una atmósfera meditativa y envolvente. Los timbres parecen flotar como mantras electrónicos, creando un paisaje en el que el oyente se sumerge lentamente. Es una introducción que prepara los sentidos, estableciendo un tono espiritual y etéreo.

En **“Residual Steps”** el foco se desplaza hacia el movimiento. Se perciben patrones rítmicos que sugieren pasos que quedan grabados en la memoria, huellas que no se desvanecen del todo. El tema combina repetición y variación, logrando un balance entre lo mecánico y lo humano, como si el avance se diera en círculos que dejan rastros.

La transición a **“Residual Transit”** intensifica esta idea de trayecto. Aquí los sonidos evocan desplazamientos continuos, un viaje en tránsito que nunca termina de llegar a destino. Las capas melódicas se cruzan como caminos superpuestos, reforzando la noción de desplazamiento físico y mental. Es una pieza que transmite movimiento, pero también cierta suspensión, como si viajáramos en un tren interminable.

**“Solitary Sequence”**, en este contexto, adquiere un carácter diferente al de su aparición en el otro álbum. Aquí se percibe como un punto de concentración: un patrón aislado que recuerda al pulso interior de la soledad. Su minimalismo aporta un contraste, un momento de recogimiento frente al dinamismo de los temas anteriores.

Con **“Static Harmony”** se abre un espacio más abstracto. La armonía parece suspendida en el aire, como si estuviera quieta y en movimiento al mismo tiempo. Es una exploración de la tensión entre estabilidad y transformación, un estado de contemplación donde la escucha se convierte en observación del detalle.

Finalmente, **“Velvet Interlude”** cierra el recorrido con suavidad y calidez. Como su nombre indica, funciona como un interludio aterciopelado que deja una sensación de caricia sonora, un epílogo que no busca un final rotundo, sino una disolución suave y elegante.

En conjunto, el álbum es una meditación sobre el viaje y la huella, sobre el tránsito y la pausa. Cada pieza ofrece un matiz distinto, pero juntas construyen un universo donde lo residual se convierte en memoria sonora, y lo estático en movimiento interior. Es una obra que invita a escuchar no solo con el oído, sino con la sensibilidad completa.

Basic Rhythm - New Style EP - SNKR017

A1 - New Style 
A2 - Too Nuff 
B1 - London Warehouse 
B2 - Ready Again

London based Basic Rhythm (aka East Man) gets straight to the point with his latest, aptly-titled ‘New Style' EP.

This one is aimed straight at the dance floor, with grounded rhythms, melodic teases, and low end you know is gonna make the bass-bins wobble. Offset by a stab-loaded dancehall beat and a merciless 140 club killer on the A-side, the flip reels off low slung frequencies so solid you could cut them with a knife. One for the sweaty club basements and the warehouse raves alike!

In parallel with his main venture, @bfdmrec, label boss Judaah is embarking on a distinct venture with Homemade Sound System - a new imprint that sees him return to the roots of his teenage/early adult's love for Reggaean blends and dancehall riddims. First in line, longstanding French undergrounder @krikorparis steps up with the fresher-than-fresh, funky, bassy goods.

Garies come through for Future Times! After putting a killer on the FIGS Compilation last year (the excellent “Don Bongo”), Lumigraph and New Jackson team up and go wild for a four-song collection. Again channeling a few sounds at once, Garies go up and down with the tempo from the lazer-and-dirt-soaked opening rumbler “Emergency Tenner” thru the Dance-Mania-off-the-rails energy of the B2, “What A Room.” Get In.

Garies - In Bits EP - FT054

With remnants of yesterday plastered across our faces, sweat-lined T-shirts and unnecessary sunglasses draw glares from the neighbours. The brave few, venturing from the safety of drawn blinds to collect gum and elixirs for the weary, in aid of the party continuum. The chances of a fresh and ready Monday morning slowly slipping through fingers like so many spilt pints. Stepping in to the off license, equipped with loose mental notes of preferred drinks and pockets full of small change makes an already complicated task even more daunting. No rest for the wicked.

Out on fresh-faced South-London label Twin System is their Victim of the System charity compilation. With 28 tracks of varied production, foraying into the melodic, chaotic and everything in-between, and with all profits going to Brixton Soup Kitchen, what's not to love? Ransom Note's pick is DJ Baklava's '10 AM Stella Run', a moody foray in to anxious mediation. The track's low-strung halftime groove, competing rhythms and acidic baseline motif makes for compulsory head nodding.

A curious Chimera of sounds presents itself out of the wild, from kinetic half-time drum and bass-heavy techno to shoegaze wall of sound to dreamy sunset islander vibes.

PREMIERE: Eluize - Stutters [CKNOWLP2]

The padlock had rusted beyond repair, they'd tried everything but it couldn't be unlocked. As time went on and different tools and gadgets had failed their duty, curiosity began to build. Nobody knew what lay inside the vault, perhaps there was nothing at all, but for now they'd let their imagination run wild with dreams of forgotten treasure and piles of gold coins.

To kick off their newly founded label arm, Brighton-based party starters Accidental Meetings have called on friends and family, including those who've played their parties, for a huge compilation that touches on the sounds that will remain central to the label going forwards. Spawned from the restlessness that came with a year of no events and a pledge to keep themselves busy, the AM guys have pulled together 21 tracks that journey from electro to glitchy breaks, dancehall and broken techno, enlisting the skills of Chungo, Charles Green, Alexis, DJ Tess, ZaaZaa and Kincaid, to name but a few.
