The fighting had broken out several days ago and there had been little respite since. Pleas had come from both sides but nothing seemed to settle the violence, peace wasn't on the horizon. The media had done their worst, pitting each side against the other, scapegoating them for the bad decisions made by those who wield the power. The terrain ahead was unchartered so they braced themselves for the worst.

Benedikt Frey and Menqui's Serious Trouble imprint return with another batch of gritty electronic excursions, this time courtesy of producer NVST. Part of the Statement Crew, Female:Pressure and one half of the team behind the Big Science label, she's got plenty of firm roots within electronic music, which she's now extending to her own productions and the release of her debut solo EP, 'Stop Violence Motivate Violence'. Full of driving rhythms, warbling metallic synths, crunchy breaks and stuttering vocal samples, the release is an accomplished introduction to NVST's sound palate, bolstered by a remix from Benedikt on the flip.

Herman - Narcissus EP
BUY LINK: https://finegrainsrecords.bandcamp.com/album/narcissus-ep
Label: Fine Grains Records (https://soundcloud.com/finegrainsrecords)
https://soundcloud.com/tomherman-1 https://soundcloud.com/zohar01

The second of a triplet on Fine Grains for the Surrey-based producer, Herman. Four ruminating low-end constructions with the heads down crew always in mind. With clubs starting to re-open, the ‘Narcissus EP’ lands at the perfect moment. ‘Sol’ takes on a heady mix of tribal drums, haunting distorted vocal snippets and teasing breakbeats. And this is the essence of the ‘Narcissus EP’, as we go further down the rabbit hole into Herman’s world of deep myoclonus percussion.

Herman’s tale is furthered with remixes by two exciting emergent production talents - Holloway from the UK and Zohar in the Netherlands. The emphasis remains on drums, slipping into some classic d’n’b flavour with Holloway and a powerful modern breakbeat re-shake from Zohar (her first ever remix). ‘Narcissus’ is a call to arms for a return to those dark and sweaty nights we once shared with strangers on dance floors and dingy basements across the globe. Let’s get back to it.

PRE ORDER BGSC2207 - NVST - "Drum in the Bass of Attention" LP
https://bigsciencerecords.bandcamp.com/album/drum-in-the-bass-of-attention

After «Compiled Works 2017-2019» including the famous from underground «Police Star Pablo», NVST makes a stellar comeback on Big Science with her debut album, «Drum in the Bass of Attention». Key player of the Swiss rave and dance music scene, NVST stays true to her nonconformist nature and brings up new dimensions to her sound in her latest work. Going back and forth between hopeful lightness and gritty despair, NVST listens to the world and echoes its confusion throughout ten tracks of fragmented textures and sensitive reflection. 

In this album, she  keeps one foot on the dancefloor and another one on the streets, bringing politics back to dance music via implacable statements and unforgiving basslines. With a very personal language, NVST moves the listener to take a look around. Ask yourself ?

Limited edition pressed on tape format, in a plastic recycled case, complete with a 12p insert with lyrics, designed by Warzou. Two tracks will be released as Single format, including remixes from Jan Loup & Warzou.

NVST's (@ghettonast) debut for @bigscience provides an excellent introduction to the artist’s murky sonic world. Our premiere moves with a certain swagger dominated by a radioactive bassline and drums that feel as though they’re doing things on their own terms.

Drum in the Bass of Attention

NVST - Request for Quantity (Everworkedonanarchy Mix) [Big Science Records]

There was a beautiful, cinematic sound emerging from behind closed doors. It danced and echoed in the hallway as smoke billowed softly from beneath the door which rattled under the weight of a large drum upon the other side.

This was studio pleasure at its very best – a unique moment in time in which creation and magic danced in the air as wild sounds reverberated and bounced between the walls.

Soon it would only be a distant memory, a flickering memory of a record long ago.

Now here is something special – a collaborative release between three heavyweight producers in the form of Plead, Slyngshot and Neewt. The three of them hold no punches drawing for weird, textural sounds with nods to dub, house, techno and beyond. It’s a wonderful release from the OK Spirit camp and one which comes highly recommended from us.

Keita Sano from Okayama is back on Row Records with a new 5 track EP.
Reminiscent of his 'Bowl Of Water’ EP in 2015, which marked the label's first release, his latest work fits perfectly with Row’s catalog. Here, roughness meets rhythmic clarity to ignite the dancefloor.
Included is a bangin' remix by Dayzero who has just released two EPs on  Zam Zam and Livity Sound.

Egregore Collective is closing this year of releases by crossing the Atlantic with Seattle-based producer Fleksor, long time contributor to the 320 RIP compilation series, with past releases on Main Course Records, Snø Recordings and Knightwerk to name a few.

Inspired both by the frenetic hybridations of 2010’s club music, and the highly curated psychedelia of Seattle’s all-night techno parties, he delivers an assortment of club-ready syncopated bangers across multiple tempos, with a heavy emphasis on textured sound design.

Rounding off the release is a hefty drum'n'bass remix of the title track by our very own Yaxx.

Tracklist:

1 - Fleksor - Angel Beans
2 - Fleksor - Devil Worms
3 - Fleksor - Hessler
4 - Fleksor - Blistering
5 - Fleksor - Blistering (Yaxx Remix)

PREMIERE: Fleksor - Devil Worms [Egregore Collective]

Since its inception in 2019, Big Science records welcomes Warzou's first personal release in early 2023. The LP will feature nine dub/industrial/rave tracks, in Compact Disc format. 

This colorful release, in a transparent case, is a tribute to rave compilations, sound systems and social committees. Because if many influences can transpire from this record, Warzou was built with Acid, House & Techno, Bass and Dub productions, or even Down tempo and its industrial feeling. "W is for Wobble" is a generous record that allows to introduce the meticulous work of W.
This music have been played live in 2021 at Brasserie Atlas (Brussels), META (Marseille), Blockhaus DY10 (Nantes), and Hors-Jeux (Toulouse), and was recorded, edited & designed at Big Science Studio in Lyon in 2022.
