"Catch a vision of the stars- Living in the moment, forever getting lost.."

16 artists. 1 shared vision. We are proud to present the WUMP Campsite Compilation, available now for streaming  & download. 

'Name Your Price' Download: https://wumpcollective.bandcamp.com/album/wump-campsite-compilation


This compilation serves as an homage to summertime and the beautiful, creative things that happen during festival season. As you can tell from the artwork, the picture we're painting with this album is centered around those late festival nights back at your campsite after the music has ended. After a full day and night of gettin' down, you and your friends aren't quite ready to call it a night, so you throw on some music and keep the party going into the wee hours of the morning. THIS is the music to play in those scenarios.

We hope you enjoy <3 Love you all! Your support means the world.

Tracklist:
01. SAMA - Curiosity (Original Mix)
02. SAMA - Indifference (Original Mix)

Release Info: 
SAMA got in touch with me because I was heavily supporting his track Existence from Kraftek in 2017.

We met at ADE and since then we have stayed in touch and I have received tons of great music from him.

After lots of back and forth and his enormous patience with my picky taste in music, we finally have his debut ready on Noir Music and I am truly proud of this 2-tracker.

Curiosity is the straight forward techno-belter with an infectious spoken vocal to compliment the builds and the mood of this awesome tune.

Indifference was the first track I signed and the pitchy bassline on this track not only convinced me but has the clubs going mental every time.

Even though SAMA is fairly new to the techno scene, his productions are spot on and sound like they were produced by someone with years of experience. I hope you love this 2-tracker as much as I do.

Lyrics:
I said you better watch what your doing
cuz I ain’t gonna stop when I’m moving
I’m headed to the top ima do it
im headed to the top ima prove it 
and baby girl I like what your doing
your body’s outta sight when your moving
you look just like my type so let’s do it
you know I’ll treat you right let me prove it

and I could go all night
I’m sick of being nothing 
all right
I’m gonna be something
I’ll fight
with every breath trust me
ima be the one at the top you can’t touch me
I need
to find somebody 
like me
who wants to be something
I bleed
with every word coming
I would rather die then be someone who’s nothing

I’m the type of dude who will not remain nameless
I’m the type of dude who is headed for greatness
I’m the type of dude who can really make changes
cuz I’m the type of dude that’s becoming contagious 
I’m the type of dude that will always be ageless
I’m the type of dude that will always feel shameless
I’m the type of dude that they say is fucking heinous
cuz I’m the type of dude that you know is fucking dangerous

ima take it now no your never gonna break me
ima stay loud in the face of the hate see
ima speak out take the muzzle off my face breathe
out of my mouth every word that will make me
never had a doubt of the life that I’m making
never had a doubt of the fight I’ll be facing
never had a doubt of the nights I’ll be aching
life is all about having dreams that your chasing

you don’t wanna fuck with me now
I’ll leave your ass in the street now
I’ll put your ass underneath ground
I’ll bury you six feet deep Now
and you better stay down
get the hell out of my way now
it doesn’t matter what you say now
I’m gonna take hold of fate now


they all know I’m here to stay now
and I’m gonna change the game now
no I wont break down 
and point it towards all of them greats now

I’m the type of dude who will not remain nameless
I’m the type of dude who is headed for greatness
I’m the type of dude who can really make changes
cuz I’m the type of dude that’s becoming contagious 
I’m the type of dude that will always be ageless
I’m the type of dude that will always feel shameless
I’m the type of dude that they say is fucking heinous
cuz I’m the type of dude that you know is fucking dangerous

Following last year's 'Kiyadub' EP, Andrew Weatherall returns to Byrd Out later this month with a brand new 12". Having invited his mate Andy Bell (y'know, him out of Ride) round to his studio to buy a Les Paul, Andrew suggested that he test the guitar out over a track he was working on, which then became the b-side here 'Making Friends With The Invader'.

We're very happy to be premiering the title track 'Blue Bullet', a trippy, dubbed-out construction with a surprisingly affecting melody which tunnels under your skin and refuses to leave.

Blue Bullet

PREMIERE: Andrew Weatherall - Blue Bullet [Byrd Out]

Expiati

PREMIERE: Dual Shaman - Pluvia [Drastic Arts]

There was a strange taste in his mouth as he walked away from the table upon which he had eaten dinner. There was a bitter sense of harrowing gloom which hung fierce above his head and the taste of pili pala kisses were all that was left upon his tongue. Walking between the dense city streets he began to wonder why life had turned out this way. Was it his fault? Was it merely a game within which he had simply been part of a masterplan? These questions troubled him so...

Doppelate is a producer whom we have watched with a keen eye as of late, an up and coming talent from London with an interesting take on house music and more.

PREMIERE: Doppelate - Pili Pala Kisses [X-Kalay]

He braced his lapels sharply. Yes, this is it, he thought. Admiring his reflection, he saw a picture of health and success. The lights in hotel bathrooms had a dreadful tendency to cast a deathlike pallor across the face, and this one was no different; he momentarily broke character to remind himself he isn’t actually the colour of diluted mustard. One final splash of cold water, one final nod of encouragement, one last straightening of the tie, and he was ready. Through the gap in the door bled the din of the Santa Ana Swing, muffled and half-present, like a memory of a song from one’s childhood. To the elevator, then; the party had already begun.  

M.ono's searing 'Santa Ana Swing' is lifted from a new VA compilation, 'The Blaq Bunch Vol. 2', assembled by German label Blaq Numbers. Comprising 16 tracks, the release is available on cassette and digital from August 9th.

PREMIERE: M.ono - Santa Ana Swing [blaq numbers]

“Look, I’m not saying… I just mean…” the details were as blurry as the walls and the faces. It didn’t matter. Ironically, the fog which shrouded her most immediate memory was thin, and she could see its centre clearer than her present surroundings. Though it was getting light outside and, on this randomer’s shabby couch, she felt as though she’d become cement that was always never quite dry, she was compelled to head back out into what remained of the night. Just one last time. It was undeniably preferable against being trapped at the wrong afters with someone pretentious.

PAS, following A-Side AD, is the second of a new two-tracker by Peckham's FYI Chris. Entitled Snod Hill, it's set for release on August 7th.

WEST005

PREMIERE: FYI Chris - PAS [West Friends]

As he walked through the school playground he cast a glimpse upwards towards the towering building which loomed overhead. There had been a time when he was once scared to visit this place and the wicked people which lived within the walls. Now he was free to run wild and fight them on his own accord. This would become his castle and soon school would exist as a place far greater than the mere threats and words which had once been cast his way....

I Got Friends....

Warmduscher have recently released a new album on The Leaf Label titled "Whale City". Intriguing, sleazy and edgy it packs heat - however, Savage Gary has entered proceedings and turned things up another notch.
