Cousin - Locked

Deeptrax go even deeper with ‘Hi8tus’ – the first album from Detroit pioneer and forerunner Suburban Knight in over 12 years.

One of the earliest protagonists in the epoch-defining, landscape-changing Motor City cultural movement, and a card-carrying Underground Resistance member, James Pennington’s fingerprints are all over Detroit’s nascent phases as he mentored the likes of Mike Banks, collaborated with Kevin Saunderson and appeared on formative Transmat dispatches in the late 80s and early 90s. 

Preferring a behind the scenes role for many years, Pennington has operated in the shadows, only ever releasing music when he’s had something to say. There have been long periods of silence in his discography but in recent times he’s returned with a series of singles and outings on Mollison Folson & Derrick Lewis’s Detroit Techno Records. 

Now time to level up once again and remind us of his sonic skills and stature, ‘Hi8tus’ thrives off its timeless futurist schematics, each one instantly tapping into the deepest of Detroit sources, but doing so without any repetition or covering old routes. 

Largely breakbeat-based, Pennington pays homage to the electro foundations in a wide range of forward-facing ways; the uncompromising icy opener ‘Far Far Away’, the hazy soul and dreamy waves of ‘Spiritual Ride’ and the gnarled, brittle brutalism of ‘Stalker Turned Electro’ (a nod to one of this most enduring bangers back in the day – ‘The Art Of Stalking’) map out the parameters of Knight’s navigations. 

In between we have brooding, pensive moments of tension. The four-to-the-floor prowl of ‘Thy Will Be Done’, the b-boy swagger of ‘Machete’, the glacial dark side voyage of ‘2 Different Worlds’, the list of immersive explorations goes on… 

Proof that when it’s in your DNA it doesn’t matter how long you pause between releases; it’s about what you say with your music. Suburban Knight’s hiatus is well and truly over.

Suburban Knight - Hi8tus (Deeptrax Records - DPTX-032)

When House Music is spoken in all its incarnations, 
in all its different strains, in its bastardized so-called 
modern interpretations…ask yourself…
who has been in the trenches? 
Who is pushing true madness? 
In this day and age as chaos is law 
and no reverence is shown to those 
who have paved the path. 
Ask, who shows reverence? 
The past is fragile and that will always be perserved.

Lawrence Le Doux - Insula Dulcamara (previews) - Nous'klaer 029

Tony Neptune continues the story of Yuri Gagarin, the fabled cosmonaut and explorer who tragically died in 1961. In the third of these odes to Gagarin we join our Hero after escaping the city of Toierra. Drawn by a mysterious pull he tries to find help and allies to bring down the Clinks and save his friends. Four pieces of original music have been to accompany the painting on the cover as part of a wider soundtrack to complement the narrative of this remarkable yet troubled man. An insert detailing the story will supplement the narrative of each issue.

Below a great canopy of trees a light rustling can be heard, the snapping of twigs and two voices muffled by the foliage. Yuri and Lyaru’s argument though loud when close by seemed to fragment into the gloom like a puff of smoke. The two beings had walked for hours, they were exhausted, hungry covered in scratches and bites and both needed a well deserved break from their companion. 

Yuri succumbing to hunger leaves Lyaru after setting up camp to look for sustenance. The trees though are an unforgiving scene for our weary adventurer and within minutes Yuri is blundering through the undergrowth lost and utterly alone. For hours he moves through the trees, the eyes of the forest upon him, the noises of snapping branches made by Yuri's feet answered by unfamiliar cries of animals and worse that lay in the undergrowth. Finally Yuri sees a patch of light ahead, a clearing and the unmistakable sound of running water.

In the clearing’s centre an empty dome sits on a weathered stone plinth and Yuri approaches with trepidation. The sounds of the forrest that have been with the adventurer for the past how ever many hours have gone, eaten by the impenetrable surrounding of vegetation save for the trickle of flowing water from the forrest pool. When he reaches out to touch the ancient structure it’s contents morph from nothingness into the city of Toierra, a city at war. Two great ships hover malevolently over the city intimidating the populace into submission. With another look the image fades to be replaced by the vision of a woman alone in a room, her head in her hands, the bed she’s sat on gently bowed as she rocks backwards and forwards her shadow dancing behind her from the light cast by a singular oil lamp on a desk. Yuri’s wife suddenly looks up suddenly and she starts at the sight of him the barrier of space and time suddenly an irrelevancy as their eyes meet through the dome. Then a voice out of the darkness makes Yuri jump and removes him from his revery and memories of a life that no longer belongs to him. The image disappears and Yuri turns slowly to see two creatures watching him from the trees.

Previews for PPRZ next EP by Guilt Attendant.

Pre-orders: February 14, 2023
Full Release: February 21, 2023

Shop at https://pprz.bandcamp.com/album/a-callus-of-apathy-ep

With releases on Mysteries of the Deep and NYC cult label, Hospital Productions, Brooklyn techno supplicant Guilt Attendant makes a high-torque entry in the PPRZ catalog with four merciless cuts of functional, psychedelic, high-impact rave rollers.

Guilt Attendant opens with ‘Seasonal Recession’, a cavernous pumping track for cranking the pressure. Slippery, evolving synth jabs creep and echo in an expansive, uneasy soundscape as sharp percussion commands motion and attention.

A true psychedelic weapon, ‘A Callus Of Apathy’ rolls in with rubbery propulsion and smudgy atmospherics, contrasted with Guilt Attendant’s signature precision: razor-sharp percussion that ticks along with a mounting sense of urgency, pushed ever-further when a warping overtone synth worms its ways into the fray.

‘Architecture Of Oppression’ introduces a steady broken-beat bounce slung under a pointillistic rhythm. The track really begins to breathe as an echoing hit interplays with high-register blips, and the wash of patterns begin slipping past each other, sending heads spinning through the fog.

With ‘Gendered Death (Dub)’, Guilt Attendant weaves a jacking, machine-driven ripper, anchored by bouncy, tight chord stabs that are deftly modulated and with keen attention to dynamics.

Machine Music, Human Dance is a conceptual EP created for Takahiro Yamamoto’s performance NOTHINGBEING, which premiered on September 9th, 2022 at T:BA.

“Based on philosophical and physical research in the approaches to nothingness as well as extensive discussions and reflections with participating artists about their own sense of existence in society, their needs in life, and their embodied daily experiences, this work will invite the viewers to “be” in the space together as they witness the performers engaging in questions of not thinking, feeling, surrendering, transforming, conjuring, and forgetting.” - Excerpt from NOTHINGBEING description at www.pica.org/events/NOTHINGBEING-TBA22

B2 Rabbit's Foot Featuring Jonathan Aylward

Detroit's own party rockin hard groove cowboy, 2Lanes, brings us the Sid Ranger Redux EP delivering a heavy mix of tribal and dub percussions layered with hypnotically eerie chants and sweeping synths. 2Lanes closes out the EP with a dear friend, Jonathan Aylward, and his expansive stand-up bass licks. The result is a mind-bending, smoked-out psychedelic experience for Psychic Relief’s second release.

In 2Lanes' word, "A record about vulnerability. Showing yourself to the world. Approaching your first creative ideas with a new perspective and skill. Turning your instincts & freeing yourself of what holds you back. Time, love, & loss. The raw flame and the live wire. Swirling despair and howling desire. God and the Devil are fighting but when do you wing the sword? Nowadays we let the music speak for itself...."
