Premiere: Cromie - Bloom In (rRoxymore rRemix) [Duality Trax]

Time was tight and being late seemed like a real possibility. She wiped the sweat from her brow and took a deep inhale; anybody who knew her well would attest to her efficient and timely manner. Her day had already been fuelled by anxiety and this was simply the cherry on the cake. Tardiness was not even in her vocabulary, so on these extremely rare occasions, her mind went into meltdown...

Milanese duo Ltd Colours take care of the first release of 2022 on French producer and Rinse resident Clad's Grid imprint. The four tracks on Patterns broaden the label's musical palette; while rhythm is a huge focus in every track, the EP touches on different styles and moods. Imbued with tension and euphoria, the release meanders through hypnotic polyrhythms, percussive bass cuts and revving electro.

PREMIERE: Ltd Colours - ProjectSerjjjj [Grid]

Conflict had never been his thing, he shied away from any form of confrontation, that said he somewhat enjoyed being a spectator. Casually pausing his music to listen into a heated argument on the train; watching from a distance as a friend challenged a drunken stranger getting in her space — as soon as it came to matters of his own though, he froze and retreated. On the fringes was where he'd always choose to remain.

It's been five years since Bintus unleashed anything into the world. Lucky for us he's back to 'cause a right old stink' with a new two-tracker on his own Power Vacuum imprint. It's a gutsy return that, in typical Bintus fashion, hits you smack bang in the face with a dose of acid, electro and rave sonics, from the squelchy staccato punches of title track 'Rag It!' to the acid-driven ride that is 'Millennium Speaker Stand'.

Rag It!

PREMIERE: Bintus - Millennium Speaker Stand [Power Vacuum]

With a fair amount of pride, Warning presents the debut EP of emerging artist JCow. Four fresh cuts that will stand the test of time. Opening with high energetic roller Magma on the A side, accompanied by Purity of Spirit, an uplifting basement Rave anthem. On the flip things get more twisted with Groove Ryder, a melange of funky Breakz, Trance and Trip-Hop. The Acid Fiend Mix of formerly digitally released Rave Patrol is completing this record with an overboarding composition of drums and JCow’s own guitar. 

WAR1204 will be out on the 25th of March 2022

PREVIEW: JCow - WAR1204

Providing his debut for Ransom Note Records offshoot Insult To Injury, our fellow Amsterdammer and ECHOBOX radio DJ Oneven (a.k.a. Andrew Visser) offers up five pieces of electronic meatiness for our ravenous consumption. As a duel British/Dutch citizen, his electronic music heritage is strong and he draws on early IDM / Braindance methods to create a unique, trademark sound. With a huge passion for hardware, Oneven tries to keep the music as organic and honest as possible, mistakes and all.

Lead single (and synth master class) VM1S2RM springs out of the trap first, hurtling along at breakneck pace, peppered with curious bleeps, noises and percussion stabs, this IDM monster leaves little breathing room. Next up, M52t5, comes down a few gears and treats us to some laid back, electro tinged 808 beats and beautifully ethereal chords over the industrial, Kraftwerk-esque synth lines.

brrytmt takes us into another world completely, tugging at the heartstrings with its expressive, lofi chords, rolling over the top of some beautifully heavy, distorted beats. Tissue continues in that vein, more subdued machine sounds are juxtaposed to the frantic 707 rhythms and repeating vocal edit, conjuring up an eerily stunning scene.

Rounding off, we’re treated to more stirring, processed sounds with Dlaciebie. A sparse and precise piece of automaton music that invokes a certain sadness, proving once and for all that, machines do indeed have emotions...

After the collaboration with DJ Durbin on 'Can't You Tell' Manu is back as MNL to release his first solo EP. He mangles the sounds and rhythms of his surroundings without limits and builds his own bittersweet world from them. Hodge's remix turns the track 'I Don't Know What I Want' into a ukg-esque dancefloor killer.

PREMIERE | MNL - I Dont Know What I Want (Hodge Remix) [Row Records] 2022

There was a flickering glow which dazzled and sparkled atop the water of the lake. The last of the summer sunlight was beaming down warm and hot on the open expanse as swimmers took deep breaths and swam in what would be the last of the season.

It was magical up here in the mountains, some called it a zen like paradise. He’d spent many months here, sat by the side of the lake, sketching and drawing the sights and things he saw before him.

Never had he imagined that it might all come to an end quite so quickly for soon he would be back home amongst the tall buildings and the concrete constabulary.
