City Of Rooms

Premiere: Emissive ‘Sunset Yellow’

The river was secluded and nestled deep within the forest - very few people knew how to find this magical and remote spot. 

They had walked for miles to find it, little gave away the location but for the occasional trodden leaf or the signs of a faint footpath once walked by another wild, lost soul. 

Here they would spend the day, nestled beneath the glow of the warm summer sun, the smell of paint fumes thick in the air as they changed the colour of the concrete to a radiant red and dazzling gold. 

Some might call this a heaven spot, others might call it a dump but to them it was home. 

Silvestre is a Portugese dj who has released some of the most innovative electronic sounds to emerge from the country in recent times having appeared on the likes of Secretsundaze, Meda Fury and Diskotopia. Now he returns to Padre Himalaya for an album which cements his identity as one of the most intriguing and expressive artists in the country.

Label co-boss Pseudopolis touches down on Redstone Press for the third time. If you’ve heard the last two you know the drill.

Taking no prisoners from the outset, “High For Life” establishes the mood of the EP, combining unrelenting breaks, bouncing basslines and a big-room energy that acts like a pressure release after many nights making music with no clubs in sight, a track that doesn’t loosen its grip throughout.

“Euphoria Inc.” keeps the room at boiling point with Pseudopolis expertly fusing climatic rave energy, broken breakbeats and a murky Reece bassline into an equally euphoric yet foreboding warehouse tool.

“Haze Runner” continues with the ruffneck breaks but raises the bpms and dread level, sounding like something that would soundtrack your teenage weed psychosis or your current 6AMs spent in front of your favourite Jungle sound system’s bassbins. Speaking of bassbins…

We are delighted to welcome Eris Drew to the label under her new guise “Bassbin23”. Years of dancing, rejoicing and playing dusty warehouse raves have informed this rendition of “High for Life”, stripping it back to a fun filled 4x4 rave weapon. We couldn’t think of anyone better to do the first remix on the label, bigups to you Eris!

'Banoffee Pies Records drop their 12th release in the original series with a solo EP from New York-based Tristan Arp. With a string of intricate music on the likes of Human Pitch and a recent LP entitled “Suggested Forms”, which offers a wider exploration into his work, Tristan’s passion for sound design echoes in this record.

All four tracks offer an environment somewhere between a feeling and a dance floor with obscure influences in polyrhythmic drum patterns and a clear combination of digital and analogue processing. “Swept Thru” opens proceedings with a spiral of rhythms and heavy percussion leaping in energy throughout.

After a long hiatus our unsigned series is back. Producers who have appeared on the series so far have been approached by labels and subsequently had material released by them after we helped shed some light on the new talents. We hope we’re able to do the same with the next one in the bunch, coming from Melbourne's @darcykhalid. 

Get to know a little about him below:

Hey, I’m Darcy Khalid.

I’ve been producing music for about five years and DJing and playing piano for a little longer. Since I moved to Melbourne in 2016, I’ve been producing music with at least the vague intention to release it publicly. I wanted to wait until I felt I had a sound that was my own, and I guess that time has come.

My Unsigned track is from my debut EP. The record features three quite different tracks, including elements of ambience, techno, drum & bass – even hints of jazz on the A1. Hakone Schoolyard is the A2, and if someone called it a broken beat ambient techno jam, I wouldn’t call them crazy.

It evolved three times over about 18 months. I made a version, got bored of it, left it alone, then repeated that process several months later. What you hear now is take three. I can be a bit ambitious with my compositions, so they’re often long and multi-sectioned. My favourite songs will change a lot, weaving between atmospheres, energy levels and tempos, often seamlessly, but occasionally with bold abruption. I tried to do both here. I hope it worked.

Thanks for listening :)
