It was about time they laid all their cards on the table; no more secrets, no more excuses and definitely no more sneaking around. How they'd not been found out yet was something of a miracle - there were many times the game had nearly been up, but somehow the truth had never come out. If they'd been honest from the outset, things could have been different, but sometimes putting your feelings out there, naked and bare, was more frightening than the repercussions. 

There's certain DJs that you can trust will curate a top drawer record label. With Bristol mainstay Danielle and her freshly minted Soft Raw imprint, we're definitely in safe hands. An extension of her own tastes as a DJ, the label will explore the contrast between soft and raw textures, casting a net far and wide to catch everything from abstract rhythms to technoid experiments and weighty sub-heavy sonics, whilst seeking to platform new producers who are carving out a singular sound. The first comes from Sam Black, better known as Slacker, who sets the tone in fine style with a collection of moody, rumbling cuts that lean heavily into jungle and half-time DnB.

Autogenesis - Live

steeplejack_live(s)_01

Captured from the depths of Eora’s post-industrial warrens, Autogenesis presents a cacophony of enveloping basses and razor-sharp glitches. This live set offers transportation to sprawling dimensions of twisted sonic environments both new and old. 

This set was a huge project for me Involving developing a lot of lovingly crafted sounds, as well as stitching together bits and pieces from a forthcoming EP ;) and abandoned project files.

Thank you to Max Singer and Jestika Chand for making Transport 7 possible, and the community of Eora warehouse critters that sustain the nocturnal ecosystem.
