Releases

Metallic structures towered high above the rest of the city, their appearance ominous and menacing. Who resided in these buildings, nobody knew. No signage emblazoned the entrances, and only on rare occasions were people seen arriving or leaving. They weren't offices or homes, they weren't schools or charities, their purpose was unknown, their story untold — an unsettling mystery that remained unsolved.

Next up on Coloray's Intercept Records comes the debut outing from UK producer Charlotte Denham AKA Talik. Influenced by her time spent living in Berlin, Hackney and Brighton, the four tracks across 'Cold Silver' showcase her ability to play with texture, rhythm and tension — crafting music for the body and the mind and finding comfort in the spaces between light and dark.

PREMIERE: Talik - Cold Silver [Intercept Records]

Talik - I See Faces In The Trees

Picking up on the launch of Marie Montexier’s Paryìa label with a trippy EP by a.b.u.3.0.3., the second release comes from the Dublin based shooting star Small Crab.

The Skin & Blister founding member delivers three percussive breaky tracks that highlight a wide range of her musical influences. Combining smooth textures with tribal rhythms the ’Flowing with Honey’ EP perfectly rounds off with a bass heavy remix by London based producer Talik, who recently gained attention through highly acclaimed releases on 3024 and Intercept.

Flowing with Honey

B2. Small Crab - Yerba Cereal (Talik Remix)

Pre-order: https://controlfreakrecordings.bandcamp.com/album/wood-water-inc-french-ii-remix

As a longstanding member of the @controlfreakrecordings family, @talik1’s debut on the label feels long overdue - her next EP 'Wood & Water' featuring an expert remix from @french_ii lands on the label this Friday.

'Gripping Dust' lays emphasis on the low-end, a snarling and percussive mutation of UK bass.

Premiere: Talik 'Gripping Dust'

After debuting on 3024 in July 2021 with "I See Faces in the Trees" on the label's first Artist Mentorship Compilation, we are very proud to present Talik's Firefly EP. 

On this record, the London-based producer explores and experiments with the twitchy, flickering movements of animals of the night, their behaviors perhaps analogous to our own in dark and loud rooms surrounded by strangers- alone but together.  Through four beautiful tracks we are shown a more energetic side of Talik's music, layered with the moods of her earlier work for Intercept, Pressure Dome and Control Freak.

Enjoy!

On their latest release with Dealt With Records, Swamp People aim to leave an indelible mark on the sonic landscape.

The musical process began with them holed up in their studio, the duo embarked on a musical journey, finding inspiration in herbal remedies to help shape their creative vision.

This release, like them all we guess… is a culmination of thoughts and feelings expressed in musical form via electronic hardware and music making software.
Isn't it magical that transient thought and sound can be captured to be experienced, at any time, for our pleasure, to nod our heads, punch the air and kick our feet on the dancefloor?

Swamp People extend an invitation to navigate the complex pathways of their perception of life, urging us to immerse ourselves in a sonic expedition through space and time. As they materialise their vision into sound, the lines between the intangible and the concrete blur, resulting in a sonic masterpiece that resonates with both deep introspection and the euphoria of the dance floor.

The title track, 'Abstract,' exudes so much energy and vitality that it resembles house music rubbing shoulders with techno — albeit in a more laid-back fashion. It delivers a pulsating, propulsive drive infused with elements of serene euphoria, providing those moments where you can catch your breath or share a tender moment before thrusting your fist into the air once more.

A standout feature of the track is its robust and continuously evolving bassline, reminiscent of 90s Groove Armada. 'Abstract' envelops your senses with pads, echoed keys, and an acid line that subtly taps away at a higher frequency, just barely perceptible. It's a track guaranteed to send shivers down your spine.

Tailored for peak-time dancefloors, 'Abstract' serves as an excellent showcase of Swamp People's upbeat and heavily affected sound.


Driving - Euphoric - House Music


'Aidas' is a uniquely off-kilter piece of house music, emanating an almost ominous atmosphere. The composition is enriched with multi-layered rhythms and smoky organ tones, further enhanced by echoes and reverberations that intricately fill your auditory space with a sense of depth.

The title, 'Aidas,' directly translates to 'Echo' in Lithuanian, a choice that reflects the duo's penchant for this particular effect among others.


'Aidas (Ráfla Remix)' Dealt With artist Ráfla, eager to share more music, enthusiastically took up the opportunity to remix Swamp People's 'Aidas.'

Ráfla streamlined the track while preserving its atmospheric essence. A distinctive bassline runs consistently, punctuating the remix and introducing a rhythmic dimension distinct from the original. Vintage key sounds intermittently interject, and acid segments bubble up from the ether, resulting in a genuinely cool yet bumpin’ house track.

APPAREL PREMIERE: Rosie From The Block - In Your Room [Just Begun]

“Bembe” (Bembé) comes from the Yoruba people of West Africa. Depending on the context, the term can refer to a kind of drum, an ethnic subgroup, a religious ceremony, a style of dance, or a genre of music. It is also the name of the track we were solicited to premiere from BlackFilter’s forthcoming digital/vinyl release on the delicious Italian label Ragoo Records. Pellegrino Mazzucchi, the mastermind behind the alias, is a percussionist, DJ, and producer based in Modena, Italy, and owner of a singular sonority that encompasses Latin, Afro, and World Music influences. 

The result of the fruitful partnership between Pellegrino and his fellow countryman Daddario gave birth to the stunning “Bembe”, a two-in-one theme that introduces itself complex percussive elements and mellow synth leads for 2.10 of its 4.41 minutes until the “futuristic Jazz with hints of Electro and Disco” aura jumps in and changes the game entirely, “offering the listener a sonic and refreshing sound experience”.

You can find (and buy) this and other music pearls on the Bandcamp page of the label: https://ragoorecords.bandcamp.com/
