Bokeh 2021

OCTOBER

Lithuania’s Ponty Mython brings his signature style of dubbed out cosmic breaks to Not An Animal Records.

The title track Onimano X991 sparkles as it leads the way with a heavy four to the floor bass kick laced with an eerie interstellar melody and signature broken beat drum pattern. Deliciously squelchy interludes and breakdowns are the cherry on the space cake here. Not An Animal are known for bringing in the heavies, this time music round, musical rearrangement aficionado DJ Fett Burger gives ‘Onimano X991’ an atmospheric massage. Launching with an eerie melody recognisable from the original mix but minus the squelch. Fett Burger transcends the track from a 2am floor killer to a 6am floor chiller via a cleverly reprogrammed drum pattern, drawing the stress right out of your deltoids with his beautifully formed fingers like only he does.

‘Walkie Talkie’ is a late night squelch-a-thon from the get go, oozing NAA style with its vocoder arps and space didgeridoos all over its four to the floor kick. Closing out the EP ‘We Expect A Soft Landing’ nails its orbital re-entry calculations, touching down squarely on the realms of ambient dub techno. A tasteful composition reminiscent of something from The Higher Intelligence Agency’s ‘Colourform’. This track leaves us with a perfectly paced build that culminates in chesty bass swells and loads of bleepy sounding arps.

Rudefood - Cloud Hop (BEAM-05)

Artist: https://soundcloud.com/ninjaexoticmachine, yeho
Track: Explore My Crack
Label: https://soundcloud.com/phobhorecords
Format: Digital, EP
Release date: 14/10/21
Purchase: https://phobhorecords.bandcamp.com/album/36-questions

In the middle of the summer Yeho, an Israeli musician coming from Tel Aviv, was wandering around Italy and randomly he found himself in the “Quintino Basement”, lair of Ninja Exotic Machine.
This casual encounter gave birth to three new tracks where the
duo’s downtempo and tribal style merges with Yeho’s crisp and raw vocal together with intriguing percussions samples extracted from live recordings of the percussionist Andrea Greco.
The result is an Ep called “36 questions” out on Pho Bho Records on the 14th of October.

PREMIERE | Ninja Exotic Machine ft. Yeho - Explore My Crack [Pho Bho] 2021

From RDL Shellah's debut Showcase EP, prod by @seekersinternational

https://duppygun.bandcamp.com/album/showcase-ep

RDL Shellah (the artist formerly known as RDL) follows up the long sold out pop-grade 2021 Streets 7” produced by Mexico’s riddim queen Smurphy with a full Showcase EP featuring Canadian collective Seekersinternational (SKRS) on the buttons once again.

Lead single ‘Bad Wine’ is pure silky-tongued summer heater with a dusty boom-bap soul like a Jamaican take on Anderson Paak and Knxwledge; while the video tells a classic ‘where is my boyfriend’ story that’s as old as time. RDL Shellah has been part of I Jahbar’s Roolingz Musik collective, recording under the name Providence and guesting on tracks like ‘Rock the Party’ before joining him in Duppy Gun operations. The Showcase EP marks his first big artistic statement as a solo vocalist before he embarks on another collaborative EP in 2022 with I Jahbar sharing vocal duties (also produced by Seekersinternational).

Cos goth is just dub for people without enough vitamin D…..

The first release on Bokeh’s goth/industrio-horror sister label BKV Cadavre rises from cvlt Glasgow band VOM. Before now, they were already the best and most original zero-nostalgia goth band in Scotland since Twisted Nerve - as heard on 2013’s perfect Altered States LP.

But anyone lucky enough to witness their live workouts or the few tracks on At War With False Noise’s 2020 comp Votive Offerings know there’s a different trio lurking. Entity Attachment is the first album in this long evolution: 6 tracks of macabre steppas and dread-drenched drum tracks for paranoid late night DMT trippers and folk-horror-scifi soundtracks. Spaces between drum machine hits fill with billowing noise, vocals are now stripped back to distant yelps bouncing off stone walls, bass brought to the fore in dub-grade workouts.

To understand what’s aligning here: there’s snatches of vampiric Bauhaus dubpunk buried between touches of industrial darkwave acts like Black Funeral, Murderous Vision and Controlled Bleeding surgically grafted onto the new breed of dread n bass like our pal Ossia (check the closer Goetic Ritual for most proof).
