Nanimo kikurakai - snippet (OUT NOW)

Since the back end of 2018, our buddy Cooper Saver has noticeably been picking up the pace of his studio output - and we thank him for it. Following a well-received string of remixes for The Golden Filter, Perel and Benjamin Fröhlich, the Los Angeles-based DJ and producer, responsible for the Far Away party and cassette mixtape series, sets another milestone step in the right direction with the release of his debut EP via pioneering, Munich-based record label Permanent Vacation.

The package is a collection of tracks Cooper produced over the last year or so, at home in LA, aimed towards late night dance floors with an injection of California sunshine. Close friend and local hometown hero Indra Dunis of Peaking Lights was summoned for vocal duty on "The Search", rounding off the package into a futuristic brew of dance floor igniting material.

Here we have a track from the Russian giant, RAW TAKES, from the We Hate Breaks sampler that's released today on Urwaxx. His track "All Ur Breaks" is a melodic showstopper. It's an breakbeat party jam sprinkled with hints of electro and 90s hip-hop. A fun and pleasant ride though an amalgam of genres and styles, all combined into something cohesive and effective. This is a prime example of a timeless beat employed in a new, interesting way.

Booty Buster - Get Phonkey

The volume unit was perched precariously at the side of the stage, it acted as an omen for the noisy. That night the rumble would sound out deep within the venue and people would gather amidst the mist and the black to dance and wander aimlessly through the creative landmine which was utopia. Real expression was forgotten a long time ago, now the world was simply a reflection of what lived amidst the internet online, what the pretty people did and the pretty people saw. In this space the dance was all that was left, in freedom and in spirit. 

Filter Dread is set to release a new EP for Tech Startup, an up and coming label which seems to hold real promise for the future. Risk taking and forward thinking, this new EP intrigues and delights.

PREMIERE: Filter Dread - RX 4 Real [Tech Startup]

Hard at work for over a decade now, EDND is one of those artists whose influence on her local scene rolls deep and yet feels subtle - she's been silently honing her craft surrounded by a healthy mix of VSTs, classic drum machines and second-hand synthesisers of all kinds in her home town of Portimão. She's also never stopped playing a part as an important cultural agitator in the south of Portugal and Lisbon alike, taking part in jam sessions or community-led parties in all sorts of DIY venues, as well as gracing established clubs and festivals with hers and her duo's Roundhouse Kick mesmerising live acts.

For her first solo EP 'Rupture of Plane', EDND finds a fitting home at Paraíso, where she explores the border between inventive experimentation and dancefloor effectiveness. The opener 'Quartz Composer' layers a bouncy bassline with mystery-drenched melodies and carefully sound designed percussive elements while the sparse vocal inspires a state of loving ecstasy. The infectious rawness of 'Field Effects' follows; its visceral, playful kickdrum pacing a dizzyingly trippy synth and an enticing suggestion of the rougher side of acid. 'While Sleeping Watch' ensues, bringing an even moodier, industrial-leaning piece of top-form EBM and techno. Paraíso regular Photonz steps in for a powerful rework of Quartz Composer, infusing it with a tough, whole new broken electro groove and an addictive synth re-design.

We welcome for our final release of 2019, Germany’s very own Max Hock aka Es.tereo. This, our third release on our ‘Earthbase’ series, sees Max arrive with an already solid pedigree of output via such labels such as the now defunct but seminal Hidden Hawaii imprint, as well as German modern dnb staples such as Absys Records and Urban Poetry. His perhaps most notable previous work is arguably  his ‘Theme’ project (via Samurai Music) which saw universal praise from the leftfield dnb scene and beyond , taking the landscape of dub techno atmospherics into a whole exciting new format of 170bpm-led excursions, when most people where hypnotised by minimalist sub-lead dread.

‘Ra’ Sees Max taking on a whole new level of sonic architecture, with dense and complex arrangements that almost lean into modern experimental breakbeats, remaining coherent enough for dancers at your local jungle rave. The levels are however undeniable, this is modern atmospheric jungle taken to a different level altogether. 

‘This EP was conceived whilst focusing on different energies and the translation of mixing those energies into soundscapes.  Ultima’s Breath was the beginning and is the centre of the EP. It´s the ultimate Unification/Union of those energies I feel that came out of that process. All the other pieces came with the flow subsequently and I decided to explore the different vibrations and facets which lead to this similar feeling. I feel the result is this balance of 4 expressions of this energy.’ 
- Es.tereo

The EP Sets the scene with ‘Ultima’s Breath’ a frantic but atmospheric breakbeat meditation that opens the doorway to new levels of breakbeat layering that might excite fans of skee mask, square pusher and remarc alike, moving swiftly into the heavy hitter ‘Temple Of Ra’, a half-stepping but still energetic sound-system staple, coming with a kind of tribal slow/fast style but taking the idea to a whole new level of intricacy, whilst maintaining a concrete backbeat that DJ’s can be sure to be drawing for years to come. the B-side opens with a complex tech-stepping dnb roller in the form of ‘Ancestral’ wherein The Alternating breaks provide grounding for yet another complex landscape of percussion and brush strokes of reverb and melody that orbit around the core gracefully. The EP closes with ‘Flying Disc’ - a Frantic medley of minimalist percussive motions that seem to levitate above a dominating saturated sub-bass line that will test any decent system to it’s limits.

‘RA’ is the ideal blend of dancefloor and headphones that we feel we have been honing with our output at Cosmic Bridge, and we are happy to be a part of what may be the evolution of a dnb artist about to potentially transcend the genre itself. 

This is put simply, fresh as fuck.
