Bitter Babe X Nick León — Tu Castigo (Simo Cell Remix)

Following up on his Timedance debut in 2019, Sydney based wunderkind Air Max ’97 signs his return in style with a double dose of hi-detail club warpers. 

Without sacrificing any of his grimy and sub-loaded tendencies, the New-Zealand born producer expands his intricate and futuristic palette further with his most trance-inducing production to date.

Pulling Teeth

Slutty Siri

Banlieue enters 2022 with a bang courtesy of Mortimer Dubaton’s Athens VS Predator EP. Behind this monicker is Louis De La Gorce, an Athens-based French producer, notorious for his duo The Pilotwings and his solo project Eiger Drums Propaganda.

De La Gorce’s well-documented jocularity seeps through this release, right from its title to the track names and actual productions. This idea is approached through another angle with NEED FOR SPEED, a tune where car-related sounds are brilliantly used by the producer. Layering samples and building a tribal groove sprinkled with chopped up breaks, thick low-end bass, and a zest of vocal samples, this mutant track fit for a car chase in the eponymous video game finds its influence in modern hip hop vibes, but the spirit of rave music is never too far. The result is playful, forwarding thinking bass music that will elicit a response from listeners and dancers without fail.parallels with hard drum purveyors.

Athens VS Predator

PREMIERE - Mortimer Dubaton - Need For Speed (BR014)

Protean artist Maxwell Simons collaborates with South African producer Big Space and LA rapper Shamon Cassette on a hard-hitting footwork track, released via Milan imprint, Beat Machine Records.

Neon red and white lights scored the car’s glossy shell as it sped along the highway. He felt his lower arms begin to go numb and his nails dig into his palms has he gripped the steering wheel, watching buildings chase each other and compete for the recognition of his peripheral vision. But it didn’t even seem as if his eyes registered any of it at all. The adrenaline put him in a stupor…


 
Though almost always flavoured with hints of industrial, rap and bass, it’s hard to know exactly what to expect from Italian-Brazlian producer Maxwell Simons. His sound engineering background is reflected in a commitment to experiment with fusing electronics and samples, field recordings and live instrumentation.

His forthcoming release ‘Rua 29’ gives it to you hard and fast, shuttling between hard techno, jungle and footwork and featuring a fierce remix from London badman, Deft.

Our pick ‘In Yo Feelings (feat. Shamon Cassette)’ layers live percussion on top of a stuttering footwork rhythm and the audacious rap of Shamon Cassette. Not for the faint-hearted.

Cocktail Party Effect starts 2023 with his debut release on Nervous Horizon: ‘Fixing The Roof EP’.

The South London via Berlin artist known for his jaw dropping releases on Tectonic Recordings delivers 5 solid cuts all with their unique style. Made with a bunch of battered vintage hardware: in particular 90s samplers, synths, filters and distortion units paired with the latest computer software, this project really pushes the sound palette beyond conventional club music. 

The opening track Fixing The Roof feels like a classic Nervous Horizon track from the time the label first started gaining traction. Safety Button is the bass heavy - dance floor pounder of the lot, a must in every set! 767 enters the “jungle experimentation” realm reminiscent of early Paradox (DnB producer Dev Pandya). Gecko Slide & The Police Took My Garden Away present copious amounts of analog distortion and explosive drum patterns that are really at the heart of the Cocktail Party Effect modus operandi.
