TemeTape2
Side A. Peverelist B2B Simo Cell
Side B. Low Jack B2B Simo Cell

Bassbin dons Low Jack, Simo Cell and Peverelist do a triple tub rinse out for Simo Cell’s Temet, mixing up 90’ of grime, UKF, breakbeats, and mutant bashment business with inexorable flow.

On the A-side Pev & Simo turn the timeline from early ‘00s to 2020 inside out, running killer drums and duppied sound designs from the early heyday of dubstep, thru the infectious percussions of UKF, to grimy breaks and technoid twiss-ups, including no doubt at least one of Pev’s own zingers up in it. With the flipside Low Jack and Simo bring the tempo down a few gears to work around slippery dembow and dancehall patterns, shuffling up recent gear off Livity Sound with late ‘90s ragga instrumentals, proper, and at least a few of Low Jack’s bashy, dare-to-be-different edits for the meanest sort of clipped dancehall pressure.

Both mixes are taken from dj sets recorded live at Trempolino in Nantes during Simo Cell's residency with Peverelist and Low Jack (between 2018 and 2019). Props to Phil and Tom for joining, U R LEGENDS.

℘ཞɛɱıɛཞɛ ≈ Jacques Satre - Signs Of Time [Blue Night Jungle]

Everything had changed; the faces were different, the buildings under new control, the community destroyed. What they'd built with their own hands no longer belonged to them, people with power could take anything they wanted and this time it was their home - it was everything they'd ever known. If they could, they'd try and save it at all costs, but the obstacles they'd come up against were far greater than anything they were likely to gain - the odds were stacked against them.

London-based producer Simkin has spent the last few years growing the reputation of All Centre, the imprint he co-runs. The platform has been a space for experimental, rhythmic dance music that colours outside the lines and, until now, has been the only outlet where Simkin's productions have been housed. For his first solo release away from home, he joins the Pseudonym Records roster for a two-tracker See You / Deterritorial - backed by a remix from borderlandstate The Best Kisser In L.a. - which is characterised by broken drum patterns, dembow rhythms and chopped vocal samples.

PREMIERE: Simkin - Deterritorial [Pseudonym]

There was a flickering glow which dazzled and sparkled atop the water of the lake. The last of the summer sunlight was beaming down warm and hot on the open expanse as swimmers took deep breaths and swam in what would be the last of the season.

It was magical up here in the mountains, some called it a zen like paradise. He’d spent many months here, sat by the side of the lake, sketching and drawing the sights and things he saw before him.

Never had he imagined that it might all come to an end quite so quickly for soon he would be back home amongst the tall buildings and the concrete constabulary.
 
Ozel AB is a producer who has released an array of forward thinking electronic and club focussed EP’s on the likes of Workshop, Lobster Theremin and Third Ear.

Now he is launching his own record label, an opportunity for him to showcase recent material and explore new sounds. The first EP features four tracks, with this being the A1 taken from the record.

PREMIERE: Ozel AB - Zeen

For the 40th release on All Centre, label co-head Simkin provides three new cuts on his second record of the year, Entity.

Beatless ambient opener Sinks In eases us in with whirring field recordings, glitched choral vocals and sublime pads, immediately setting the atmosphere for the record. Throughout, later elements of the EP are teased amongst disorentating sound design and soaring chords.

The end of the track leads directly into low-tempo stormer Entity. Alien-sounding vocals give way to a heavy, low-slung drum pattern before a dubbed-out transition introduces the track’s bone-rattling bassline. Later, the arrangement eventually breaks back down amongst glitchy arpeggiated synths, before further ramping up the intensity with the reintroduction of booming subs, punctuated by a rising air raid siren.

Finally, Click! lifts the tempo, landing in an upbeat, electro-inspired groove. Short snippets of vocals are teased amongst understated pads before a low, gliding bassline propels us forward. Angelic, autotuned vocals and chopped and rearranged amongst echoing chords and soaring lead synths, the elements weaving amongst each other as the track progresses.

Entity is available across all platforms on the 5th of August.

Entity

PREMIERE : Simkin - Click!

The sun shone bright over the town, leaving the green spaces scorched and dry. It was that balmy kind of heat that made your clothes cling to your body and forced you to constantly mop your brow; she didn’t mind much, she felt at her most content when she was in the sun - it was her happy place. As soon as autumn rolled around the thought of the impending winter forced her into hibernation mode, she didn’t care much for the biting cold and crisp mornings. When spring came she’d emerge once again, only the sun held that power…

Seoul-based imprint Reach out Records are on a mission to raise funds for local causes whilst shining a light on artists from the country’s underground music scene. So far the non-profit imprint has supported projects and initiatives like Angel House, a residence for disabled people; their friend Tarek’s cancer treatment; and homeless support group PLUR. After a four year hiatus they return with their fourth VA release, ‘For The Youth’, which features music from Yetsuby, DJ Botermelk, Korea Town Acid and more, covering electro, acid, breaks, bass and more. This time they’re raising money for local charity, DDing Dong, who help support LGBTQIA+ teens in South Korea by providing them with counselling, shelter and support.

PREMIERE: Korea Town Acid - Plateau [Reach Out Records]

Her mind was neither here nor there today; everything had become a big mush of half-finished tasks, immediate deadlines and last minute responsibilities. Trying to put them into some kind of decipherable order was a task in itself, one that would require an amount of focus and concentration that she couldn't muster up at this precise moment. For now, her thoughts would have to remain a tangled web, a scramble of words and memories all chucked in the blender and jumbled beyond recognition. 

Hot on the heels of a release from label boss Furious Frank, Adelaide-based label Mind Dance call on the skills of a veteran of the Australian electronic music scene, Andy Rantzen. Active since the early 90s, both solo and as part of the duo Itch-E and Scratch-E alongside Paul Mac, the Sydney hailing producer follows releases for the likes of 4-4-2 Music, Efficient Space and Ken Oath with Return To The Source, a seven-track album of recordings made between 1997 and 2020. Crafted using his hardware set up, the music is raw, stripped back, deep and percussive, touching on machine funk, electro and house.

PREMIERE: Andy Rantzen - The Blender [Mind Dance]
