RDS plumbs the depths of analogue texture on his Kalahari debut proper. Following a guest appearance on Eversines’ ‘Plooi’ EP, the Amsterdam artist returns to explore the more expansive integers of his hi-tech sound across four deftly crafted tracks.It's exactly the sort of enveloping, sophisticated material we’ve come to expect from a De Lichting member.

Straight deep space manoeuvres on the opener. Setting billowing widescreen pads against solid, tight groove, ‘2312’ feels as if it’s escaping the eye of some turbulent solar event. Then, landing with a sensitivity absent from the harsh climes of its predecessor, ‘BBsuite’ leaps from translunar to tenderness with dappled keys and lithe breakbeat intricacy. Saying that, there’s still something undeniably explorative and sc-fi in its mood, almost reminiscent of Orbital or Future Sound of London.

There’s more refined deepness on the flip, starting with ‘Silky’s supple, slinky flex. Forlorn, exquisitely widescreen ambient techno, it treads between the warm optimism of early Detroit modes and a certain somber melancholia. And finally, ‘Autechrein’ finds RDS smudging his palette on a dusty, downtempo overhaul of the after-hours formula.

Five years since his last solo outing, Pev makes a very welcome return on his own label for Livity Sound's 60th release.

Having focused on expanding the innovative scope of Livity through a prolific release schedule, frequent label nights and the 10th anniversary Molten Mirrors compilation, on the 'Pulse E.P.', Pev delivers on his reputation for inventive, sharply-focused club music with four lean, focused club tracks across the tempo range.

From the crooked formation and pointillist bleeps of ‘Pulse I’ through the light-footed percussion and airy melodies of ‘Pulse II’ to ‘Pulse III’s strafing techno synths and ‘Pulse IV’s surefooted, bass-loaded house jack, it’s an EP of variation and consistency in equal measure. From the infectious, alien melodic lines to the elegant angles of the drums, not to mention the weighty subs, it’s all strikingly fresh and unmistakably Pev.

Watching from the window, it was clear to tell that nobody was home. The rain rattled against the glass and the frame shook from time to time as the wind howled in the cold darkness of the night. All evening had been spent watching, waiting and pacing. Surely they should be home by now?

It was hard to think of oneself as a voyeur yet chance after chance had lead to the miserable, mysterious circumstances by which now must be lived.

Every time the glow of some car headlights passed was enough to stir and shake the senses no end. Hopefully the taxi would return soon and put this sense of urgent dread to bed for one evening.

No Sir is a Brooklyn based DJ and producer who has released music on the likes of 3024 & W133. Now they step up to Faux Poly with a punchy release which fully establishes them as an artist. No Sir reflects on the inspiration behind the record below:

“I started producing this EP at a really challenging moment last summer after I got a concussion that left me pretty much bed bound for a month. During this time I also quit drinking, so my relationship to music and going to clubs saw a complete overhaul. This EP is my attempt to find a space in between the hours spent at my quiet apartment and my return to these loud, dark spaces I see as another kind of home. The title track, Voyeur, was the first piece of music I made after the injury”

3024 are very proud to present a new EP by Mexico City based luminary Tristan Arp.

'End of a Line or Part of a Circle?' hints at timelines, lifecycles, and the shifting perspectives that come with zooming out from a human lens. The insect club universe of “Panspecies Rights” imagines the sound of every life form rising up in protest, while the title track as well as “Branching Streams” outline a snaking labyrinth of musical paths and plot twists.

A club-not-club hybrid of dance-floor freakouts and downtempo zones, the EP shows Tristan Arp’s range as a producer, as encouraged by Martyn throughout the making of the record. While “A Livable Earth” sits somewhere between wide-eyed fantasy and precarious reality, “The Language Change,” imagines a new language for non-human collaboration.

Tristan Arp is co-founder of the Human Pitch collective alongside Simisea, formed while living in New York before moving to Mexico City in 2019. He is also a frequent collaborator with Kellen303 (for unknown untitled), Nico for Grid and as a member of the group Asa Tone (on Leaving Records).

Enjoy!
