AAD03|| Preference - Pinch (w/Plus One Remix)

post-apocalyptic gathering of efforts through mutual agreement and excitement about coming together as a way to heal and dream of sweeter futures, by sending and receiving vibrations.
after long periods of physical distancing and alienation, intimacy can feel so mythical, our places foreign, our selves unreal.
we find common comforting ground in hidden gems - xenoliths - unique sonic landscapes binded and wrapped together in hopes of radical embrace.

Bassbin 23 - I Found You (Hardhouse Mix)

Not a Pessimist

There was a strange feeling lingering in the air, an eerie sense of tension which hung thick and left a bitter taste in the mouth. Why would it be that there was so much stress? Where had this come from? Why now? What caused the pinch?

He sighed as he wandered through the quiet city, it was dead, the people of the week had left town to return to their families leaving nothing but empty streets and still puddles.

There were no sirens, no cars, ho beaming headlights. Yet still it was noisy where he was.

Preference releases a new EP on Ayeland – a futuristic extravaganza which lends a nod to the early days of Bass music alongside the deconstructed improvisations of the genre which later followed suit.

PREMIERE: Preference - Pinch [Ayeland]

Irish producers @plus-one1 and @dj_preference link up on two nimble, bass-led bangers for Optmst’s Ayeland Audio imprint. Listen exclusively to Plus One’s ‘Pinch’ remix.

Premiere: Preference ‘Pinch (Plus One Remix)’

All Centre kick off the new year with a two tracker from label mainstay Holloway. Following a busy 2023 for the London-based artist, holding down a residency on Rinse FM, tearing up parties around the world and launching his own label Waylo, Holloway starts the year as he means to go on with two incendiary club tracks.

Beans opens in atmospheric fashion with lush pads and dubbed-out sirens held together by enthrallingly syncopated percussion. The structure then strips down to allow a wistful, jazz-inflected theme to come to the fore, deftly complimented by a bouncing, descending bassline and a deep kick pattern. Lightly swung drums give an edge of UKG stylings to this deep, introspective cut.

On the flip Holloway ramps up the tempo with Trinco. Soulful chords fuse the sound of 90s DnB into precise, stepping percussion. The track launches into another dimension at the drop, driven by techy drums, growling basslines and warped vocal samples. The track breathes with the reintroduction of the atmospheric pads, before the bassweight emerges again with renewed force.

Beans is available across all digital platforms from the 12th January 2024.

embark on a genre-defying journey through electronic landscapes with ultrascope's debut EP - gash. Blending elements of bass, techno, IDM, breaks, leftfield, and dubstep, this release showcases the artist's dynamic range and innovative sound.

papaya kicks off the EP with half-tempo beat and slowly creeping bassline that rapidly turns into stealthy dagger, piercing right through sub frequencies.

gash will release on 12th April 2024, and as the inaugural offering from ŚLINA, it sets a bold precedent for the label's future.
