Hold onto your seats as pq returns to the spooky shit imprint with a racing new EP, ‘exhaust loop’. Described in the press release as ‘balloony tunes’, it feels like the most appropriate way to talk about these weird and wonky tracks. With the release coming up next week, we have the exclusive stream of the turbo-charged ‘cheek’ leaving you breathless in your tracks. 

Founded by pq, ekhe and spooky-j, spooky shit was launched in 2019 as a platform to house their boisterous, in your face club records whether that’s solo or under their trio moniker Hot In Da Club. 

‘Exhaust Loop’ by pq will be released on the 4th November via spooky shit - pre-order here: https://spookyshit.bandcamp.com/album/exhaust-loop

FROM DA FLOOR (CLEAN) JANA RUSH

03 Ping Pong (feat. TT The Artist & Sushi Samson)

Mossambi makes his return to All Centre to follow up the stunning debut Resurf EP from the beginning of 2023. On The AI Told Me To, he delivers 3 more experimental techno exertions backed by a heavy-duty club remix from Holloway.

Reptate opens proceedings with otherworldly vocals stuttering over Mossambi’s distinctively inventive sound design. The track enters an off-kilter, compelling groove composed of deep kicks, growling subs and snippets of microtonal melodies, building up and playing out like an extra-dimensional take on dubstep.

The title track keeps up the momentum with deep kicks and shuffling hats, allowing a lush choral pad to stutter and proliferate amongst the percussive intricacies. The chord is manipulated, filtered and triggered in unpredictable patterns as the track progresses, keeping the listener on their toes whilst Mossambi holds down a transfixing groove.

Mossambi’s final track, Miscellaneous Vegetable Platter, slows things down to a hypnotic 110 bpm pace. A disorienting blend of scrambled vocals, fried digital synths and dubbed-out bass and chord hits are kept in check by steady drums, whilst a frenzied snare roll pushes and pulls at the track’s intensity as the track progresses, crafting an engrossing low-tempo workout.

Holloway translates Mossambi’s glitched vocals and heady sound design onto a ferocious four-to-the-floor groove. A warbling bassline bubbles underneath driving percussion, whilst a syncopated hard house siren brings the energy levels to a fever pitch.

The AI Told Me To

Mossambi - The AI Told Me To [ACEN056]

We’re thrilled to share with you the third volume of our beloved series ‘‘traversée’’ - a space for producers to explore their own versatility.

‘‘traversée 03’’ gather – once again – super talented artists who shape the vision of the label on a daily basis through the diversity of their musical background and origins.

Talking about musical process with artists is super important to us and sharing it to the world is even more significant : soon we'll share some ‘‘words behind the track’’ from artists themselves to dive deeper into their own reflexions: take a deep breathe in —

(:

Unearthed EP

Unearthed (Tryphème Remix) [feat. SOLARPLEXXUS]

The phrase “FOOTMAHI” was first brought to light by BFC founding member MUSHMANE of Tainui.

The story goes that the BFC were huddled up drinking a communal slab of 8% Cody’s on a bitterly cold Ōtautahi winters afternoon watching a young in-form Shaun Johnson absolutely tear the Sydney Roosters defence to shreds with his electric “footwork” - when Mushmane screamed out “LOOK AT THE FOOTMAHI” changing the course of BFC history forever all in the birthplace of The Big Fresh Collective; The Parage on 40A Richill Street, Belfast, Ōtautahi.

The Journey of Footmahi has taken us all over AOTEAROA working with & entertaining people from all walks of life that we are proud to call our Whānau ❤️‍🔥
