Releases

Exceptional five-tracker from Nico (Timedance/Mother's Finest), featuring Tristan Arp (Wisdom Teeth/Banoffee Pies)!

Grid Records launch their first of a series of releases for 2023 with a five-track EP from Mexico City's Nico.

'Passage' is complete polyrhythmic bliss with minimalist, ethereal elements that sparkle among the overall dread-driven atmosphere. With the title track also featuring Tristan Arp (Wisdom Teeth/Banoffee Pies), the range of works perfectly encapsulate the style for which Nico has been renowned for via releases on Timedance, Mother's Finest and L.I.E.S.

Wrecked Lightship - Take it Back [Midnight Shift]

No Sir joins the Faux Poly family with their new EP ‘Voyeur’, a release full of rich syncopated percussion and expressive soundscapes that document the artists’ evolving perspective on club spaces and home listening.

The record leans towards sub heavy broken beats, resulting in a confident contribution to the flourishing NYC Bass scene. Despite being based in Brooklyn, No Sir has already broken ground in Europe with singles on 3024 & W133.

“I started producing this EP at a really challenging moment last summer after I got a concussion that left me pretty much bed bound for a month. During this time I also quit drinking, so my relationship to music and going to clubs saw a complete overhaul. This EP is my attempt to find a space in between the hours spent at my quiet apartment and my return to these loud, dark spaces I see as another kind of home. The title track, Voyeur, was the first piece of music I made after the injury” - No Sir

Yetsuby lands on London label Third Place with her 'Water Flash' EP this July. 

Seoul-based artist Yetsuby is best known as one half of electronic super-duo Salamanda, who have won hearts and minds with their light and floaty new-age electronica via releases on Good Morning Tapes, Human Pitch, and Métron Records. As a solo act, she has released her own music on the Taipei-based 禁 JIN as well as through the Seoul store The Internatiiional amongst self-released delights on her Bandcamp. 

Turning to Will Hofbauer's playful Third Place imprint for her latest 12', Yetsuby delivers four bubbly tracks. On the A-side, the title cut 'Water Flash' leads with airy synths and textured percussion, while 'Electro Union' ups the energy with choppy vocal samples, punchy drums, and twinkling arps. On the flip, subtle synths wriggle alongside low-key percussion on 'Commercial Noisy Day', making for a heads-down affair, before the gorgeous finalé '물먹는하마' rounds out the B-side with delicate keys and detailed yet muted drums.

PREMIERE: Masrani - Crevasse [Filth Inc.]

This summer sees the very timely arrival of a brand new record label from the Wah Wah 45s family. Allison Recordings further explores the world of electronic music, showcasing up-and-coming producers and music makers, as well as artists that have been on the Wah Wah radar for a number of years. Allison leans towards the dance floor of course, but isn’t your average club music record label.. Whilst this imprint was set up to represent a more electronic output, the soulful DNA of Wah Wah 45s still shines through.


The debut compilation, Sun After Rain, can hopefully provide something of a soundtrack to more optimistic times. The ten artists, providing eleven tracks in all, come together from across the UK from London to Liverpool via Birmingham, Brighton and beyond - from Bangkok to Berlin and Cologne to Amsterdam.


First up, and bookending the compilation beautifully, is Bangkok based DJ and producer Vell. As co-founder of Boiled Wonderland Records and having spent the first part of his life growing up in the UK, he moved his infamous parties, radio shows and productions to South East Asia. Having dug deep through record shops in India and Thailand, Vell brings a wide set of influences to his music, including Asian samples and an ambient feel, combined with his trademark synth heavy sounds. 2021 will see him release new music on his own label as well as very much being part of the Allison family.

Bangkok-based artist @musicvell releases debut EP “Floating Mists, Warm Vistas,” on the @boiledwonderlandrecords banner.

In a vell of floating mists so fine, Warm vistas danced in a twisty line. Boiled Wonderland records played a tune, Singing a song to the glowing moon.

Mists giggled and twirled with glee, Vistas whispered secrets to the sea. Boiled Wonderland laughed along, Records skipped, oh what a song!

Through the vell, a whimsical flight, Floating dreams took their height. Warm vistas hugged the sky so tight, Boiled Wonderland spun day to night.

Records danced on the starry floor, A nonsense rhyme forevermore. In this world where imagination exists, Vell, vistas, records – a dreamer’s tryst!
 

An expansive sonic journey of an EP, we’re premiering the title track; “Floating Mists, Warm Vistas,” packed full of skipping drum breaks, rolling basslines and bubbling synths.

The full EP’s out on September 22nd, 2023.

Premiere : Vell - Powerful Cool (BOILD05)

Vell debuts on Bangkok's Boiled Wonderland Records with the electrified zap of 'Floating Mists, Warm Vistas' EP. 4 tracks of bubbling bass and electro transmissions that voyage through breakbeat situations and acidic bass lines featuring a sublime remix from the Dubai based Rudoh.

Our featured premiere is the Rudoh reimagining of 'Burning Trees', which is given a breakbeat makeover of epic atmospheric proportions. Commanding bass, thick kicks and ethereal breakdowns with pinches of rave. It's a bit of a cracker.

The EP drops in full on September 22nd here: https://vellmusic.bandcamp.com/album/floating-mists-warm-vistas-w-rudoh-remix

It’s been a hot moment, so we can’t wait to finally announce the next EP on our Awkwardly label, “a hack is a foul“ by @dadan11.

Safe to say he’s been on our radar for a while, so we’re mighty excited to welcome the Wrocław-based producer on AWK005. After a strong debut release on his co-owned SPLOT imprint, an equally solid LP on Regime Brigade as well as contributions to various compilations, dadan is back with his signature moody, bass-bin shaking sound.

Hitting the sweet spot somewhere between dubstep, grime, breaks and ambient techno, these 4 tracks provide a somber yet seductive quality that invite the listener to get lost in a hazy amalgamation of stylistic elements. Rest assured, this combination of low end and rhythm heavy explorations contains the right formula to cause some damage on the dance floor.

DJ picks ups and plays by: DJ Voices, EMA, Ehua, Kassian, HAAi, Ila Brugal, Jaye Ward, Mani Festo, mi-el, Nala Brown, Om Unit, Peder Mannerfelt, Pinch, Stenny, Sybil, Tom Ravenscroft, Toumba et al.

AWK005 is set for release on Friday, October 20th 2023. As always, many thanks and much love for everyone’s support and feedback!
