Release date : April 29th

Grid 6th release is a unique one from Londoner Joe Arthur AKA Kincaid, comprising of six completely mind-blowing tracks, brimming with sublime sound design.

With everything from foley and footsteps, to tempo changes and analogue synthesis, there is a complete spectrum that is fully apparent here. Many styles that Kincaid has already demonstrated via labels like Well Street Records, Banoffee Pies & Accidental Meeting.

This release has a slightly deeper, introspective feel to it though. 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”

It culminates into an incredibly personal and beautiful release, with frequent samples of memories featuring family & friends that relate to specific places and moments for Joe.

Welcome in the Cotswolds, near Bristol.

Tracklist :
01 Sudden Shifts In Perspective
02 Stretching Distance

04 Fall On Your Sword

Dear Earthlings, 

We gather that dark times lay ahead of us, the unpredictable trajectory of this outbreak is out of our hands as we enter a period of real uncertainty. For our music industry we hold so dear, our musicians, clubs and festivals, the agents, promoters and dancers, and all others involved in making our industry what it is today, this has far-reaching implications for all of us. 

Viral Syndicate is a digital compilation series formed by ourselves to help support artists financially during the Coronavirus outbreak. All proceeds will directly fund artists involved with the release, or towards a charity of their choice if the artist prefers. We hope to deliver these compilations on a regular basis to help fund artists as much as possible. This is our way of helping our scene stay afloat during this difficult time. 

We hope our project and the music we’ll be sharing through this series will shed some light over this darkness. 


Stay strong, stay safe, and support our artists if you can. 


With love, Haŵs x

PREMIERE: D. Tiffany - 8 In Conga R [LKR Records]

As he lay in the tall grass he looked upwards towards the heavens with a glazed expression. The clouds moved slowly and the wind howled in his ears as he struggled for breath. There was a splutter, a cough and a gasp. For a minute he wasn't sure if he might ever catch the air again but his smart lung, the one which he had left was what kept him afloat, at least for a little while longer anyway. In the distance he could hear the sound of sirens as they raced towards him, he smiled and laughed beneath the sun. 

Sputnik One is set to release a new EP via First Second Label, an imprint upon which he has appeared previously. The new EP is perhaps his most accomplished work to date, an intriguing assortment of tracks with odd twinges here and there.
