CNP017 • 'Mike Cheque / Greaze' - @slolek

OUT NOW: https://canape-records.bandcamp.com/album/mike-cheque-greaze

"We are thrilled to welcome South East London's Slolek to the Canapé family, with this carnal double-track debut. Having operated under various guises in recent years, CNP017 sees the British DJ/Producer hone his unique strain of cavernous mutant techno, sure to bless countless soundsystems in the months to come.

A-side 'Mike Cheque' showcases a true melting pot of UK underground influences: Slolek's irresistible UKG lilt is thickened with Electro backbeat girth and a grimey sub-line that absolutely screams for a gunfinger.

'Greaze' continues our journey into techno swampland, as haunting vocal hits and churning breakbeats are underpinned by (perhaps) the dirtiest kick of 2021."

Written, produced and mixed by Slolek.

The engine was silent as the cabin ripped through the arid, desolate, wasteland. While the closest star pierced its rays through the thin atmosphere, melting any unprotected life form in its gaze, the curious passenger still couldn’t help but take in the beauty of the sights. The bright red sediments outside appeared to glow with extreme heat. The mag-train would take him halfway around the planet in just a few hours. This journey was strictly business, but he made sure to carefully plan the train ride. Tonight, all three of this system’s stars would dip below the horizon, creating a spectacular atmospheric phenomenon. As the colours above him began to churn, he fixed his gaze upon the sky.

Yosh is quickly establishing himself as one of the fastest-moving producers in the scene. His upcoming Skyline EP with Dansu Discs marks his second appearance on the leading underground label this year, and follows his inaugural Holding Hands Submerged release earlier this year. Yosh impresses yet again with Skyline: a straight-to-business UKG variety pack with a dreamy visit from Angel D’lite, the lone remixer on the EP, who’s made plenty of noise herself recently, including drops on the sought-after Bristol hotbed, Banoffee Pies.

PREMIERE: Yosh - Skyline (Angel D'lite Remix) [Dansu Discs]

Two aspects of Maison Fauna’s world collide on this one, as Bristol’s K-65 energetically remixes Durham-based Chainletter’s “Lyric St.” Originally a techno exploration, K-65’s take is an urgent, pressing electro banger, complete with unexpected timbral rides, whirling sound effects, and teasing builds fit for any dance-floor. As a prolific producer delving into a wide variety of genres, including breaks, drum and bass, and electro, K-65 has begun to make waves as an eclectic, well-rounded producer in the UK underground. With prior releases on Top Drawer Digital, Slippery Sounds, CORE ltd., Belters mag, Seagrave, Taipan Trax, Maison Fauna, and Over and Out, K-65’s accolades are skyrocketing almost as quickly as his discography. We couldn’t be more stoked to have a track of his back on the buffet line. Eat your heart out!

Banoffee Pies Records, in its eighth year of operating, hit the 20th release milestone in their Original Series. Joining the roster, Cairo based producer Hassan Abou Alam steps up with a 4 track solo EP entitled “Fasla”. A decisive selection of attitude packed wormhole bass lines and dark basement jams.

The A side was produced in a special collaboration with local artist SHBL-LBSH who’s vocal works feature across “Kesibt” + “Fasla”. The B side delivers sharp cutting synth lines in “Mawkif” and breakneck low end rumbles in “Hanshoof”. After a series of works on the likes of Naive, Not For Profit and Rhythm Section, Hassan fittingly joins the Berlin based, Bristol born label with more boundless sounds that slice through the fabric of styles that BPR have fostered since inception. Tailored club music from one of Egypts new wave of producers. Hold your hats and check your Bass bins. BPR. X

Matteo Ciccarone, better known as Sickarone, is a producer from Turin with a sound shaped by Jungle, Garage, Footwork, and everything in between. His works are entirely made on his hardware setup: an old MPC sequencing various drum machines and synths, allowing him to express his musical ideas in the most direct way possible. His productions are full of nostalgic, properly chopped breaks, tons of pitched and hypnotic vocals and deep subs.

In a blizzard of breakbeats, b-lines and acid hooks, Denham Audio have brought new urgency and vitality to the modern rave scene. The sound they’re pushing is rooted in the legacy of UK Hardcore, but those foundational sounds and styles are given a thorough spruce up, feeding into the buoyant areas of exploration happening between 140 and 160 BPM. Releases have been coming thick and fast, from early outings on Nineteen Ninety Four and Artifice through to a blistering run on WNCL, Frendzone! (alongside Violet), Lobster Theremin, Sneaker Social Club and more. Across these 12”s you can hear every shred of influence spilling out – from the upfront Hardcore and Jungle through to Hip-Hop and Reggae, and beyond the confines of music into Sci-fi and Anime.

The 5th Redstone Press release comes from Glasgow based LWS, who is at the stepping off point of a soon-to-be prolific production career that has already drawn early support from the likes of Ben UFO, Elena Colombi and Surgeon. This is definitely a producer to keep two ears and eyes on.

The opener “Aerosol” showcases LWS’ flair for space, bass and catchy hooks with this stripped back percussive workout progressively morphing into a low end sound-system killer. The A2 “Spoker” is a far more chaotic and energetic affair, highlighting further LWS’ incredible detail for intricate, pulsating drum work, chopped vocal cuts and stretched out synths which draw you straight to the speaker. The B side contains two slower-paced and wonkier offerings. The groove-ridden and stumbling "Chug Sequence” inexorably works its way into your mind via a mash of percussive hits, foreboding vocal whispers and rolling bass. Closing out the release is the slow burning “Rev Up”, LWS reverts to booming drums and stop/start beatwork that culminates in a rising, euphoric cacophony.

This one is a limited press of 100 records. Once they’re gone, they’re gone!
