Premiere: All Trades - Punch Hole

After releasing the very tense and politically charged Flowers Of The Revolution album on SVBKVLT, Nahash returns home to France for an EP on POLAAR.

Tides talk about ebb and flow. It is also a symbol for what is taken. When the tide is high on the shore of Western Europe it is low in Haiti. When nations are impoverished in western Africa, wealth is created on the east coast of the USA. Tides continues with Nahash's brand of anti-imperialist electronic destruction, taking tempos faster as we come closer to extinction-level events.

The sounds of this EP works in contrast between heavy drum sound and airy pads and synths sounds mashing together into a sort of mutant Jungle music built from recycled drum loops and 2nd hand Trance CD samplers.

Nahash is joined on two tracks by a prominent French player of the 160-game, SNKLS, who blends his supple modular textures and abstract vision into the nostalgic rave atmosphere of the EP.

+++ GUN UNITED 03 : HeedLess - Senti/Mental Illness +++

A year after 'Biotic Network', we’re delighted to announce yet another addition to our UNITED series - which for each EP, one member of the GUN community collaborates freely with other artists of their choice.

For this one, it’s a real pleasure to welcome long-time collaborator HeedLess from Italy, inviting over three guests from the contemporary club music scene : DJ GÄP, Lithe & POL100, whose abilities to sculpt sharp, intense and yet sensitive productions have already convinced many labels worldwide.

'Senti/Mental Illness' is an attempt to describe and analyze the end of relationships and their subsequent evolutions, including the creation of new ones with other people and environments. It results from an in-depth research for sounds and rhythms to illustrate the associated behavioral phases, blending disparate club elements, confused hypermelodic textures, and distorted voices to invite the listener in a deeply personal journey. 

After the soft synths and harshly destructive impacts of 'Pulverem Reverteris', followed by the utterly confusing sonic layers of 'Collision Course', the EP embraces the conflicting territory of 'Love Carenza', at once puzzled and thrilled. It concludes with the beautiful 'BROKEUP', merging running drum breaks with cavernous synths and shouts, emerging back from the depth of the psyche to reach closure and acceptance. More than a cathartic exercise, 'Senti/Mental Illness' is a flesh-flaying rune, providing anchors and support on the way towards maturity and wisdom.

DJ Narciso & Endgame - CUT (lilbabysal Remix)

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.

Deeven - Bion (Lithe Remix)

Artist:  @bungalovv
Album: Donde Hubo Fuego
Release Date: April 24th,2020
Format: Digital

Buenos Aires-born producer Pablo Betas — known as Bungalovv — celebrates his return to the Infinite Machine family with the release of the enchanting debut album, Donde Hubo Fuego.

Proceeding his 2017 EP ‘Luz Mala‘, which was coined by THE FADER as 'an unlikely entente between the sinister and the seductive', his reappearance to the imprint is analogous to this. Currently residing in Berlin, Bungalovv is also a founding member of TRRUENO, a collective and label that was born in Buenos Aires, united by new technologies as a resource and means to expand the spectrum of aesthetic possibilities in electronic, experimental, performance and audiovisual scenes.

Pulling inspiration from a diverse appetite comprised of dembow, obscure club experiments and animalistic synthesis, Bungalovv also utilises foley recordings exceptionally across the ten tracks. Flickers of the album opener ‘Bandera Robada’, are a cautionary suggestion of what lies ahead. And with antagonistic titles like ‘Soil Taste’ shaped from stabbing timbres and unpredictable time signatures like an Omni-angular sonic attack, you get pulled into a sinful parallel universe as the LP progresses. Cries of distortion, time-stretched cinematic doom, and unquantised ASMR excerpts are glued together like a tapestry, laying among devastating blows that meteor into a landing pad of extraordinary composition.

Complimentary of his mind-bending DIY live performance, the album is beautifully balanced, humanised, mechanical and elegant. Releasing in late April, this is by far Bungalovv's most refined and developed work to date.
