Club ready weapon! Hofbauer's sub-heavy tune combines shadowy vocals with a rumbling low-end. Excellent opener to a wicked first release from this bristol based label.

OS Premiere: Will Hofbauer - JBU ('18 Mix) [Out Of Sorts]

Flowing between dreamy textures and imaginative soundscapes, ‘Circadian Rhythm’ is an EP on a quest to find the perfect balance between mindful listening and club hysteria. This is never an easy task, but in the safe hands of UK based producer Will Silver it’s a fluid experience that blends seamlessly between worlds. In the past Will has released genre experiments on Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs label ‘Nice Age’ and has been remixed by renowned producers, Surpreems & 1-800 GIRLS, showcasing a talent for sound design that can sit with the best. 

Will advances into quasi tropical territory, the smell of wet concrete still evident from the world left behind in the mesmerizing opener ‘Sine[IN]’. Ghostly voices combine beautifully with breakbeats and acidic leads resulting in a mysterious tale, its final chapter lost at sea. ‘Oriole’ flips the script and features emerging UK artist Ell Murphy; her gleaming vocals acting as the protagonist in a nostalgic trip of celestial breaks with an electro sheen. ‘She Could Be A Cartoon’ closes out the A side, flanked by intense rhythms, atmospheric melodies and idiosyncratic bass. 

Experimental by nature, balanced by live drum sequences, 'Sci-fi’ produces a unique listening experience with an extraterrestrial twist. The sound of birds in the distance and the cleansing nature of the sea are front and center in ‘Obsolescence’, before the delicate rhythms and entrancing silhouette of ‘Sine[Out]’ waves goodbye from the horizon.

Releasing Friday July 29th, we are extremely excited to announce another Redstone Press debut in the form of Glasgow local LWS. Lewis Williamson is at the stepping off point of a soon-to-be prolific production career, having drawn early support from the likes of Ben UFO , Elena Colombi and Surgeon to name a small few for releases past and forthcoming.

LWS has been working hard the last couple of years crafting a signature sound via his excellent label Matrice Records (https://matricerecordings.bandcamp.com/) and a previous release on Eyeangle Records. Aerosol firmly cements him as a producer to keep two ears and eyes on and each track is a perfect example of his skill on the dials and breadth of creative talent! 

Limited press of 100 records. Don't sleep!

The Sensual World Remix EP drops 16th September 2022 via Shall Not Fade.

The Sensual World Remixes EP

SNFDIGI019 // Earth Trax - The Sensual World Remix EP

The city lights flashed by in a blur of colours, their reflection painting shapes on the windows. Lost souls and sober faces rubbed shoulders, forced smiles and vacant eyes met across the carriage. One journey was different to the next, but here everyone was bundled together trying to find their way somewhere unknown. Where were they headed? Where had they been? Each had a name, each had a story to tell, each had fears and desires that bubbled below...

Brighton-based producer WDDS has an elegant yet straightforward take on jungle, DnB and breaks. Recently he's contributed to a compilation on Dublin label Woozy, while on his own imprint he's been churning out a series of floaty, atmospheric singles that fill you to the brim with nostalgia. The next is 'Subway', which began as a voyage into melodic breaks but took a turn into no-nonsense jungle territory as part of WDDS' live set. It might be more of a heavy hitter than his previous outing but it still retains that inherent dreaminess we've come to associate with his music.

PREMIERE: WDDS - Subway (Jungle Mix)

Gather are back with their first release of 2022; Lightwork by Bristol-born, Manchester-based DaiSu, member of the all female/non-binary collective Not Bad For A Girl.

Cutting her teeth in Manny over the last few years, DaiSu has been featuring on lineups for the likes of El Dorado, Keep Hush, Red Bull and Loose Lips alongside the vibesy parties being organised by her own crew.

With sets ranging from high NRG breaks & electro to garage & bassline, it’s no surprise that her debut solo EP incorporates stylistic elements from across the sonic spectrum. Lightwork and Not Even follow the breakbeat tip with the latter making use of euphoric synths and vocal samples to off-set the darker bassline that gives the track a real strobe light, peak time feel.

First In The Fight leans towards the lighter UKG side of things and to balance out the EP Gather have sourced an exciting dark 2-step remix by the big, bad LMajor. The Club Glow don has taken the original and reconstructed a greezy darkside beat that, just like the vocal sample, will leave you breathless in the dance.

With the range of sounds on Lightwork, this release can be slung into many different flavours of sets, from fist pumping peak hours, to the euphoric after hours and beyond.

Skins continues forging his own path with a new label celebrating the uplifting and futuristic sounds of jungle, with a four-tracker featuring tracks with early support from DJs at the leading edge of the new wave of jungle such as Tañ, Mixtress and Frazer Ray through to revered names like Paul Rhodes of 2 Bad Mice.

Whilst some will know Skins from his run of self-released white label techno EPs or 2021’s underground hit 24 Hour Dub, more recently he has turned his attention back to the music which made him fall in love with it all in the first place:

“I vividly remember the effect that the futuristic sounds of 90s jungle and drum ‘n’ bass had on me as a kid, hearing snippets of tracks in video games and later stumbling across artists like Alaska, Future Engineers, Seba, Peshay and LTJ Bukem. After years engrossing myself in the cavernous spaces of dub techno, this record feels like a return to my roots, bringing my style into a new arena which still feels like home. The label will serve as an outlet for this and future collaborations with like-minded producers.”

Route R is the second track from the forthcoming inaugural release on Skins’ new project Sauce Direct Records. The label is set to draw from the sounds and energy of classic jungle, with an emphasis on colour, excitement and most importantly, fun.

The track opens with a pulsing, sparse and echo-laden drum pattern, which slowly fills out and is joined by an arpeggiated synth line pulling us along to the breakbeat section. From here we travel deeper, driven forwards by a powerful undulating bassline, until we are greeted by uplifting pads and layers of rich, emotionally charged harmonies.

After a brief moment lost in space, we are plunged back into the bass and breakbeat groove for a few more minutes of heads-down action, before a familiar synthesiser line brings us back home, from which we set off, but somehow different…
