Grid kick off 2024 with Contrast EP, a mesmerising collection of future-facing tracks from certified one-to-watch Plebeian (@plebeiann). The NYC producer is quickly garnering deserved attention for his acutely detailed and explorative bass productions reminiscent of Objekt and Djrum.

With his EP Plebeian offers up four shimmering and lush dance organisms that exist in an ecosystem entirely of their own. Microscopic drum engineering coupled with flourishes of dubbed out percussion, moments of blissful beauty and infinitely oscillating synth swells, all distilled to create 4D soundscapes that will captivate and intrigue the listener.

Contrast EP

Plebeian - Contrast EP [GRID012] previews

In the frosty embrace of Berlin's winter, French Berlin DJ and Refuge Worldwide radio host, ophélie, unfurls their debut release on hundert records. We are happy to present “Electric Blue Gecko” as the single from the record. 



Following their inaugural release on the leftfield club music label "Early Reflex," they carefully craft mesmerizing, yet meditative bass music tracks. Ophélie presents her own version of the sonic vision that they explore in their monthly radio show "Therapy Dog". Influences of drum and bass meet the minimalist razor-sharp yet spacious sounds.

   

The artwork was created by Sena Oh who developed the visual style in close collaboration with ophélie. The digital fauna is presented visually through the unmistakable artistic style of the Korean Berlin artist. Whether you're tuned in with headphones or absorbed through pulsating subs of the club, get ready for an experience that transcends the dance floor.

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 —

Embark on an ethereal journey with Second End Records’ inaugural release, as the new entity unveils today “The Next Kingdom” LP, from label-founder Jonnnah.

As a manifest of SER ethos, the Lyon-based Producer’s second personal album is also a pure merging of his own touch: mesmerizing soundscapes, pulsating rhythms, and enchanting synth melodies. From Jonnnah’s intricate layers of instrumentation and melancholic vocals, arise the fragile yet powerful aesthetic encapsulated in the contemporary electronic scene. Boundaries between genres and emotions dissolve through the prism of digital hybridizations, and each track of this twelve-act offering alternately conceal or lay bare what’s deeply rooted in Jonnnah’s soul.

“The Next Kingdom” LP, To be released on April 19 in digital and a very-limited vinyls edition.

BC: https://theorytherapy.bandcamp.com/album/memory-empathy

"Memory Empathy" is a meditation on the past: how it shapes us and how we shape it in turn. Over 12 tracks, New Zealand-based producer DJ Birdbath draws from a varied palette of samples, both real and unreal, conjuring a colourful narrative patchwork. Some tracks are fragmented, with gurgling rhythms built from clipped vocals, like 'Another Day'. Others resemble deconstructed versions of sounds the producer grew up listening to in the UK. Take for example the breakbeat in the euphoric album opener 'Kitsch Memory' or the shoegaze-tinged vocals on 'Flames'.

While a sense of optimism radiates throughout the album — in particular on 'Leftover Igloo', 'Being There' and 'Last Time' — it’s the weird breakages and vaguely organic sounds which add to the complexity of the release and, in turn, make it feel more truthful. The imperfect mimesis is part of the appeal: with repeated listens "Memory Empathy" yields new surprises.

In The Slush (iii)

LYL Radio regular @jonnnah gets the premiere treatment today with a swooning trip hop elegy.

Set for release on his @second-end-rec label, ‘The Next Kingdom LP’ offers sensuality and romance in a genre-agnostic style. Big on soundscape, spectral and bruised.

The Lyon native runs the gamut from delicately widescreen bliss-out to gauzy IDM pointillism, and on a smoked-out, downbeat tip, ‘Fundamental Social Unit’ emerges an undeniable highlight.

'The Next Kingdom LP' is out April 19th on Second End Records.

The Next Kingdom LP (SER001)

Premiere: Jonnnah - Fundamental Social Unit [Second End Records]

The initiatory release on the co:clear label is a stunning debut by Brooklyn-based artist, @edenaurelius. Written between Chicago and New York throughout 2023, 'Plateau' is a lacework of chiller dub-techno and ambient sparkle, crafted via recorded material, astute sampling, and live instrumentation. Rounded off with a stellar remix from your favourite ambient boyband (Purelink), this record is one for the serial unwinders.

______________________________________________

"Plateau is a collision, formed over years of change — an elevated plane where land forms an even surface.

Towering above the ground you see the scale of the earth — terrain merging with sky, enfolding on one another.

Seclusion and observation — a timeless vortex where moments stand still and find place in clarity."

— Eden Aurelius
