It didn't seem to matter how much he prepared in advance or how many hours he put aside to reach his destination; somehow he still managed to make it just by the skin of teeth. Too many anxious journeys, angry exchanges and sweat-soaked runs through terminal buildings had preceded this moment, so when would he learn? Or would the odds continue to stack up against him? It was always down to the last call...

Nantes has got themselves a freshly minted record label in the form of Cane Corso. The first release gives us a window into what you can expect from the label in the future, in both musical ethos and curation. Featuring a healthy roll call of several underground artists who are making moves across France at the moment, namely Realitycheck, Adam BFD, Voiron and several others, Première Portée threads together bass, IDM, techno and breaks.

PREMIERE: Realitycheck - Last Call [Cane Corso]

Ransom Note is an online music, arts and culture magazine. We provide a home for readers and writers with boundless enthusiasm, esoteric knowledge, fierce opinions and impeccable taste.

With our core team immersed in all aspects of dance music, we publish news, articles, and interviews covering the greatest in innovative, underground culture from across the globe. We offer regular, exclusive music and mixtapes from our favourite artists, and publish features shining a light on everything from the freshest new artists to the untold tales from rave history.

Alongside this we offer musings on film, books, life, and art, generating some context and controversy as an antidote to the reheated PR that clogs up the internet. Our office is fuelled by Tunnock’s Bars, cat memes, hangovers and a ridiculous, never ending love for our culture.

We're always interested in getting new writers on board – feel free to get in touch if you’ve got a story to tell.

With love until the grave.

Sneaky reptile. Slow2Fast and back again. Psychedelic + bass + colors + multicultural = skin changing.
