London-based producer Kincaid heads to Grid Records for the label's sixth release.

Having previously released on Banoffee Pies Records, Well Street Records and Accidental Meetings, Kincaid has clearly demonstrated a penchant for intricate sound design. Seeped in emotion, all the tracks were written within a week in February last year, deep in a lockdown. “It was a particularly difficult time for me, and the record reflects that, each track representing a catharsis with different issues". 

Ahead of the release in two weeks we have the exclusive stream of 'Stretching Distance', a track which floats in and out of focus of natural textures and organic soundscapes, whirring in blissful ambience. 

'More Good Than Bad' by Kincaid will be released via Grid Records on the 29th April - pre-order here: https://gridrecords.bandcamp.com/album/more-good-than-bad-ep

To celebrate Grid 2nd anniversary, we gathered together thirteen earth-shattering tracks from the bass scene’s most promising creators, all aimed to move you in the most primordial way. Evoking images of vast landscapes and deep underground catacombs.

This compilation takes the listener deep into the earth with twisted percussion workouts from the likes of Jabes, Piezo, Ronan and Sister Zo… and back into the light with serene compositions from E-unity, Tammo Hesselink and A Psychic Yes, whilst Jay Duncan, Basile3 y Clara!, Jonny From Space, Flaty, Seekersinternational, and blu-e join the dots with their genre-defying creations.

As was the case with Grid’s previous compilations 'Improvisations' and 'Da Capo Al Coda', the label once again puts its stamp on a moment in the underground by collecting together productions of the highest quality that push the boundaries but undeniably make you want to move.

@sann-odea line up their first physical CD compilation 'Ithomiines'. Dedicated to the enrapturing beauty of the Ithomiini butterfly, a species of glasswing butterflies. The compilation aims to soundtrack the metamorphosis of the insect by inviting label artists to interpret the organism. Our pick from the compilation is ‘Natu‘ by Dutch producer and Radio TNP resident @marijnswillens.

Whisper

The field was empty and bare but for a small patch of colour and greenery in the far corner. Here the wild flowers grew amidst what was otherwise a bitter and barren landscape. They were a radiant showcase of pinks and purples, reds and yellows, blues and oranges. Stood beside the small flower bed he looked backwards towards the city from where he had came, it was a collection of dense grey and black shadows in the hazy glow of the late afternoon sun. It was bleak out here but for the tiny patch, it was all that was left of colour in this world. 

Baroque Sunburst is a relatively new record label moving with a quick pace and a keen ear. The label is set to release a new EP from Soreab and it's an interesting, pensive affair.
