Flytipper - Shevek's Theory (PDCOMP004)

Get it here__ https://quixosis.bandcamp.com/album/burundanger

Let us introduce you to el Burundanger. Let us immerse in impure Latin American brutality by the hand and machines of el quiteño Quixosis. This penetrating EP is an exercise that explores the ritualistic tone of a total loss of the ego, a harsh reaction, and a torrent of emotions that end up flowing into fury, chaos, and trance on a collective level. The name of the EP refers to ‘Burundanga’, which is extracted from the Borrachero, a tree that absorbs dark energy and neutralises it. This seed is used in shamanic rituals in the Andean region and as a drug to rob people leaving them in a half-awake state.

But these raw, saturated excursions on the Dave Smith Tempest are also an ode to destruction and its full creative power. The release comes accompanied with remixes by Bristol prodigy duo Cando, French sound visionary Flore, and the king of wormhole techno, Mike Parker - all of whom further disintegrate the original versions to make way for the genesis of new burundanga-laden sonic sedatives.

Time Is Up

Logic1000 by Logic1000 is the fourth release on SUMAC, and the first by the reclusive Sydney born, Melbourne based producer Samantha Poulter. In her unique music making process, Logic1000 conjures concepts, genres, samples, rhythms and tempos that coalesce into a tough, stark sound that will appeal to working DJs and listeners alike. Her sound is a combination of UK-centric dance rhythms, vocal samples, hyper-accurate digital synths and disembodied textures. On this EP Logic1000 has worked extensively with long-time SUMAC affiliate COP ENVY, who has added his signature mix sheen, and SUMAC founder DJ Plead who appears on Na with his signature sounds.

On this ep Logic1000 presents a series of tools, sketches and experiments that run the gamut from UK funky and deep house, to abstract percussion jams and ambient experiments. Derrière is the record’s toughest moment; a snare heavy dance track featuring the coldest of one note bass lines and distorted leads. On Precision, Logic1000 channels her Indo-Indian heritage into an extremely playable, yet minimal drum work out, while The River is Tight sees Logic1000 working in more experimental territory. Baddie Part 2 is a heavy UK funky inspired tool with an emotive, super clean portamento lead. On Na Logic1000 and DJ Plead combine their signature sounds, creating a drum heavy jam that channels dancehall snares, Darbuka grooves and icey pads. In possibly the record’s most iconic moment, Logic1000 Please Forgive Me reworks RNB icon Deborah Cox into a slice of vocal house heaven featuring a perfectly disjunctive FM bass line.

As sound systems fall silent across the country in response to COVID-19, we’ve seen our party series Cabin Fever grind to a halt.

Although it was hard watching months of careful planning and hard work erased, we recognise the impact of this crisis goes much deeper than a few cancelled parties, so we decided to channel our energy into something more positive.

'Remote Access' is a collection of music sourced from both core members of our CF family, and a handful of our favourite producers operating in the UKs underground scene.

100% of proceeds for this release will go towards The Trussell Trust, supporting a nationwide network of food banks which are currently under an unprecedented level of pressure.

INCOMING : Vini Pistori Feat Abrão - Sobrevivendo O Desacordo (Iñigo Vontier Remix) #Calypso

The Calypso cult keeps spreading around the world and this time they welcome: Vini Pistori and Red Axes frequent guest Abrão. The two Brasilians join forces to deliver an epic EP called “Louco & Sobrevivendo”.

“Luoco Chama” slowly starts with a simple beat until Abrao's vocals kick in to get you in the mood while a mental arp keeps the track driving foward. “Sobrevivendo o Desacordo” brings a strong modulating bass and again the epic Abrao vocals intervine for a dreamy interlude and a complete release of energy. The tracks are simple to leave space for the voice but powerfull enough to have a life on it's own.

Label bosses come to rework each of the tracks. Iñigo takes “Sobrevivendo o Desacordo” and transforms it into a percussion frenzy with robotic vocals. While Thomass takes “Luoco Chama” and makes it an instant classic with a "White Horse style" bassline and acid touches that add new psychedelia to the track.

Latin american forces in full swing from start to finish.

INCOMING : Vini Pistori Feat Abrão - Sobrevivendo O Desacordo (Iñigo Vontier Remix) #Calypso

Tenebrous frenchman Jon Beige (formerly known as Beige) strikes back with his 3rd release, and once again creates his own genres that we’re going to define here as ghettowave or leftfield-core. Melting high-tech soundscapes, hypnotic synths and broken drums, his heavily synthetic universe spreads into 5 new tracks. Here’s a few words about them, including comments from the producer himself.

Distorsion Naturelle de l’Auto Radio is a straight-in-the-face kind of entrance. This arid and distorted urban jam puts you straight in the heart of Jon Beige’s dystopian Gotham paradise « I often imagine it as a laser tag game that would turn wrong ».  

On Palo Santo, Jon Beige is going dancehall. Using the genre’s symptomatic drum pattern, he navigates between club-friendly and meditative moods in a tensed yet balanced journey. « That’s the track I think is the most finished of the EP, but all the tracks match together in a not-fully-calculated way ».Hydrocution is a funk ballad, like a mysterious forest walk surrounded by disturbing but harmless creatures that are taking you to a bright glade, where you will finally stumble into the master of the place. « I often struggle to produce something simple with just a few elements – this track is the first time I succeeded. »

Isolat is a smooth and psychedelic sci-fi trip, unexpected and always moving forward « I imagined a little robot lost in a city suburb, wondering what he was doing there. Mood is kinda Spike Jonze’s ‘’Da Funk’’ but with a robot ».

The EP closes in a very noir scene, heavy rain, melancholia and cold blooded crimes : Déjeuner Sous l’Herbe won’t let you rest in peace. « This track, my oldest on this EP, was made in 2014. I’m still really into the solo in the end ».  

The artwork is designed and imagined by Belgrade-based artist and producer Stevie Whisper, aka the hands behind Yes and Mystic Stylez.
The record will be released as a ziplock package that includes a USB stick with the WAV files and exclusive club remixes + a limited edition poster + some cool stickers.

Releasing Jon Beige since his earliest work, Global Warming Records is run by french producer and talent seeker Malcolm, who imagines and shapes each project hand in hand with his artists. Friendly Surveillance will be the label’s 12th release.

Purchase: https://nikomarks.bandcamp.com/album/no-fairy

This release was recorded during the covid19 crisis as a showing of true endurance to complete an idea no matter what. Some of the vocal tracks were recorded virtually which felt bit strange at first but worked out in the end. The Ep starts with the title track, “No Fairy” which is an upbeat, piano driven, instrumental. Next up is a remix of the track that follows called, “Carry Me” which is mostly driven by piano stabs and synths. Track 3 is a mellow tempo, vocal house jam which feature the vocal talents of, Trina Williams. The Ep moves along through tracks 4 & 5 with two mixes that feature vocals by Eva Soul.

PREMIERE #1129 | Niko Marks - No Fairy Tale Love (Cheerios Mix) [U2XProductions] 2020

The dusty winding stairs seemed to tower high into the rafters, a never-ending climb to the second floor. Looking up above she felt dizzy and unsteady on her feet, the vertigo had already began to settle in before she'd even taken that first step. Refocusing her mind and inhaling deeply, she started her assent, hands gripped tightly to the railing beside her. "Don't look down, don't look down" she muttered repeatedly under her breath. Just one small look over her shoulder and she'd have to start all over again...

Dublin's Woozy collective, helmed by EMA & Sputnik One, kick off their label arm with a 7-track V/A that brings together some of the most exciting new names in bass and club. Beginning as a party series, the crew's inaugural release titled Woozy01 (what else?) features contributions from label boss Sputnik One, Kamus, Yushh, Glimmerman, Kellen303, San and our pick from Bristolian Jurango who brings crisp percussion and whirring dembow rhythms.

PREMIERE: Jurango - Second Floor [Woozy]

Kindergarten is a Brooklyn-based record label, rave and radio show. Despite being only a few releases deep on their label journey, they have begun to carved a name in the clubbing scene for rough and rugged tracks.

Since launching at the turn of the year, KINDER004 further cements the label’s growing reputation. Hitting hard with four dark and moody club tracks featuring the likes of Drummy, Despina, Train to Eltanin and Ma Sha Ru, label’s head.

Despina injects jagged percussion and gibbering bassline on 'Entropics. Delving into a distinct sense of disarray, Despina seeks to send any system into a raging form of chaos. The result sees two break-neck plunges into the abyss and a cataclysmic flurry of knotty beats and bottomless subs. Mystifying beats with electrifying force.
