The legendary Flowdan originally landed on the Canadian label Bare Selection in December last year with the powerful ‘Guilty As Charged’ EP. Now the label have pulled together a remix package of the project, bringing together veterans Roska and Marcus Visionary alongside rising stars Wize, Cassius Select and Lijah, who represent the worlds of UK funky, drill and leftield bass. 

Berlin-based producer Cassius Select takes on ‘Light Work’, taking the original 2-step influenced track to new heights, with twisted avant-garde drum patterns and rolling bass. Becoming quite the prolific producer, this remix follows releases in Banoffee Pies Records, Slink, and Edited Arts. 

Since launching in 2018, Bare Selection has quickly established itself as a champion for underground electronic music from both sides of the pond. Over the years they have released records from Lijah, .nathan., Manga Saint Hilare, Tre Mission, Freeza Chin, K-Notes and more. 

‘Guilty As Charged - The Remixes’ by Flowdan will be released on the 6th August - pre-order here: http://smartlinks.cygnusmusic.net/l/5056412765476/60f12b8f7be3bd3e050d4efb

Following up on his Timedance debut in 2019, Sydney based wunderkind Air Max ’97 signs his return in style with a double dose of hi-detail club warpers. 

Without sacrificing any of his grimy and sub-loaded tendencies, the New-Zealand born producer expands his intricate and futuristic palette further with his most trance-inducing production to date.

Coming in as the eighteenth release is a selection of 5 textural wonderments from Swiss duo Atrice. Characterised by acute attention to detail, crystalline sound design and the mastery of spatial utilisation, their sound leaves a remarkable impact that will no doubt warrant multiple listens to really capture a sense of how meticulous their works are.

‘Accumulation Zone’ is a holistic release, formed through the recycling and transferal of sounds that cross from one track into the next, lending their features and motifs to one and other like an inorganic symbiotic creature metamorphosizing in hermetic space. The entirety of the release was produced during a stay in the Swiss Alps, casting an icy sheen over the whole collection of tracks. like a shimmering glisten as the warmth of the sun shines on the glacial surface of each piece. A complex unity of moods that complement the never-ceasing evolutionary sequencing and structure of each track.

NYC label Kindergarten Records celebrates its 10th release, just two years after its inception, with a new EP from local artist Drummy.

What feels like a full circle moment, Drummy was the first artist to release on Kindergarten alongside Sha Ru, so it seems only right that he returns for his first solo EP on the label to signify this landmark moment. Speaking about the release, Drummy says, ‘I wanted to see if I could push by usage of the stereo field while keeping things buoyant and danceable with forward motion’. 

Along with the announcement of the record today is the exclusive stream of ‘Turbine Squelch’ with the track living up to its name. A powerful cut driven by unceasing stutter of drum hits and squelching acid-like echos 

The label and crew was founded by Ma Sha, Kindergarten Records has made its name for rowdy and unpredictable club music, releasing records from the likes of Despina, Ayesha, Stolen Velour, Sha Ru and Ziyiz. 

‘Double Stop’ by Drummy will be released on the 15th April via Kindergarten Records - pre-order here: https://kindergartenrecords.bandcamp.com/album/double-stop

Release Date: May 27th,2022

Following on from a release-packed 2021, Infinite Machine are back with a new 4-track offering from the relative newcomer, Aroent. Across 3 new original cuts (plus a rework by UK dance royalty, Ploy) the Berlin-based producer delivers some serious rollers crammed full of gnarly drumwork and a pervasive air of unease. Like the strange, abstract creature of the record artwork, the music of Say EP is an amorphous beast, mixing the dense arrangements/layering of 90s IDM records with the off-kilter and swung beats of UK Techno and Funky.

The EP opens with its title track; a whirl of snaps, claps and phantom samples all firmly underpinned by an acid-inflected bassline. Aroent embracing of chance and luck in his compositions is evident on this track, throwing in idiosyncratic automations and randomizers to grow and evolve the tune over its 5 minute duration. The vox samples (stolen from Breaking Bad) seem to decay and fall inwards on each other on ‘Say’, as if the song is soundtrack to a decaying and corrupted society (not dissimilar to Heisenberg’s).

On ‘Rolling Oddities’, Aroent’s love for the Bristol bass & techno scene really shines through clearly. A track that seems almost built for a spinny night that rolls on until the morning, the song really does what it says on the tin with its combination of driving, rhythmic elements and it’s smattering of pretty out-there decisions in terms of arrangement and sound processing. This is a definite must-listen tune for fans of Batu, Lurka or Hodge.

Next up, ‘Bobcat’ takes things in a slightly more buoyant and ecstatic direction with its ever-rising filters and muted percussion that seems like it’s dancing along on tip-toes. On this song especially, Aroent’s genre-agnostic approach to production is abundantly obvious with elements of techno and bass sitting alongside kick drums that wouldn’t feel out of place on some Jersey Club tracks.

Ploy brings up the rear on Say EP with a ferocious ‘Skeletal Tool remix’ of the releases’ title track. Taking a reductionist approach to his rework, the Timedance signee strips out some of the originals’ more hyperbolic or dramatic elements and reduces it to a polyrhythmic, semi-genreless heater. Seriously - you try and pin this edit down to a single ‘genre label’, I dare you!

Despite the small number of releases to his name, Say EP is a highly confident and well-realized offering from the Greek-born, Berlin-based producer. In a way, Aroent is already creating his own sonic signature that lifts and interpolates aspects across the UK Bass spectrum and turns it into something totally unique. This is music that lurks in the shadows of warehouse clubs.

Tracklist:

1. Say
2. Rolling Oddities
3. Bobcat
4. Say (Ploy's Skeletal Tool Remix)

Clemency presents References (Remixed) - three re-interpretations of her debut EP by Perko, Boofy and Jennifer Walton. 

Each remix builds on the sparse dissonant sounds of Clemency’s original production into three heavyweight soundsystem workouts. 

Perko works ‘Testimony’ into a wriggling, hypnotic drum workout; 
Boofy leans into ‘Biblical Names’’ subby rhythmic momentum; 
Jennifer Walton pairs ‘Mimic Animals That Are Easy to Love’s menacing sirens with apocalyptic 303s and unforgiving percussion. 

References was originally released with a collection of Clemency’s own personal references - including poetry, fiction, coordinates and cosmetics - that inspired the record. References (Remixed) comes with new references from each remixer to accompany their interpretations.
