Fraxinus - Powerplant Blue
Label: Powerplant
Catalog #: POW3R
Format: Digital Data (Vinyl TBA)
Release Date: 20/05/22

Another colour on the spectrum — Fraxinus delivers a further batch of industrial strength trax with his new EP Powerplant Blue. This is the latest in a series of colour-coded, no-frills white labels on his self-release imprint Powerplant.

Blue sees Fraxinus push the BPM range from previous releases, whilst retaining the same propulsive energy & lean aesthetics he’s known for. X-side up, ‘Interlock’ initiates the sequence with an uncompromising high-tempo workout. The raucous rhythm section rolls like thunder, a formidable breakdown supplying the only moment of respite. Second track ‘Frame Stall’ follows suit with its pounding kicks, upon which an insistent bleep unfolds restlessly.

Flipping to side Y, ‘Uplink’ makes for a dizzying listening experience — deep rolling bass frequencies & an elastic synth being pulled apart before the ears. Despite its bouncing beat, final track ‘Prow’ is a moodier affair. Skittering hihats & distant sirens echo through the mist, rounding out the collection in a heads-down fashion.

4 cuts of armour-plated techno, optimized for maximum warehouse utility — Powerplant Blue will be released 20/05/22 on digital download (vinyl TBA), distributed by Cargo Records.

"Apparatus“ is Rizla Ops’ debut EP on Voitax, a deeply personal creation born swiftly amidst the heartbreak of losing a close friend, Ollie Mazgaj. Crafted during a period of introspection, the EP became an anchor, the only thing that felt right in a world detached from the club and daily routine. 

Sonically diverse, "Apparatus“ explores techno, drill, amapiano, grime, and garage, maintaining a common thread of dissonance, functionality, and groove. The title track, „Apparatus, stands out as an outlier in Rizla Ops’ discography, featuring big melodic moments that capture the raw emotions of the artist at that particular time. Despite his usual preference for conveying ideas through rhythm and sound design, this EP marks a turning point, hinting at future experiments with melody and harmony. 

"Apparatus“ is more than a collection of tracks; it’s a sonic journey through genres, emotions, and personal growth—a testament to Rizla Ops’ dedication to pushing boundaries and creating immersive, thought-provoking electronic music.

A big thank-you goes out to them all!

All profits will be donated to support the cause of Ousmane.

Ousmane is a friend of ours here in Freiburg, where he came as a refugee in 2019. He first moved from the refugee reception centre in Freiburg to a shared accommodation in Offenburg. This year, he then had to move to Renchen near Offenburg. As he is doing his apprenticeship in Freiburg, this means a 3-hour commute there and back every day. Ousmane would like to move to Freiburg and friends of ours have organized a room in a shared flat for him. But as he can't give notice for his shared container room in Renchen, he has to pay two months' rent. We therefore want to use the profits from this EP to support Ousmane during this time. The overall donation target is €2000 so that he can pay the double rent for 6 months.

The donations are handled by Solitopf Freiburg.

In the past few years iffi has been actively smuggling global influences in his DJ sets across Warsaw's best underground parties. Same applies to his music and an upcoming EP on the genre-bending 00efort label is a great showcase of his skills being a release where post-trance melodies, garage-infused beats or floating synths meet genres like kuduro, batida and gqom.

D.C. native Ovid returns to Cork imprint Flood for a third time with his latest EP, ‘The Palace’. 

A follow on from 2022’s ‘Stone Coaster’, the New York based artist returns to form with his uncompromising hybrid of funky and hard drum across 4 original tracks, plus a further remix from Shai FM on ‘Crawl Out’.

The release also sees Flood founders Doubt and Tension collaborate with Ovid for a second time on ‘The Palace Pt. 2’, reigniting a three-way collision of sharp, forward facing club drum. 

Our featured premiere, ‘North From Here’, blurs the lines between mechanical and traditional sounds, fizzing with industrial melodies and effects alongside anthemic percussive builds and foundations.

The EP drops in full on July 31st here: https://ovidmusick.bandcamp.com/album/the-palace
