Musuama emerges from the aether onto NHS with 'Bailes Mudos'; being their first release and foray into the world of leftfield esoterica electronica. Hailing from Brazil with time spent in Mexico, Musuama’s exploration of synthetic sonics is fuelled by a healthy background in trained musical knowledge and an ever-present aura of genres like cumbia, reggaeton, guaguancó and festejo to name a few. The artist speaks further on this: ‘I was confronted by the constraints imposed by the timbral limitations of traditional instruments and recognized the transformative impact of technology on artistic expression. I believe that by embracing technological advancements across artistic fields, both the listener and the artist stand to gain by fostering an even deeper connection with creativity’.

The collection is transient in its collage of sound artefacts; a spaciousness encapsulates the artist's approach to their productions that is meshed with pulses of texture and an ephemeral fluctuation of echoes, delays and reverb; as if we are inserted into Musuama’s personal journey through cultures characterised by sound. Throughout, the release carries a sense of subtlety, hypnotised by a steady march that permeates through the homogenous story that is told via the EP.

https://plasmasources.bandcamp.com/album/project-researcher

Hot on the heels of nosync’s ‘Soundsystem Music’, Plasma Sources is proud to present Beton Brut’s ‘Project Researcher’, a 4-track offering of no nonsense, dancefloor-ready electronics which take influence from experimental club music, grime and musique concrète.

Having previously released standout EPs on CYTE Records, Beton Brut has built a reputation for delivering distinctively sparse and heavy-hitting productions which have garnered support from the likes of Mumdance, LCY and Walton. On ‘Project Researcher’, Beton Brut takes his sound and develops it even further. 

In the producer’s own words, the EP is “about materials - raw, straight and to the point”. This approach is evident from the opening track ‘Tom Machine’, as ASMR-inducing squelches are bottled inside an environment which bubbles with molecular detail, and pitted against clinically arranged percussion sequences. 

Up next, ’Lighter’ pulses with Beton Brut’s signature blend of grime-influenced bass-weight and snatches of pirate-radio MC chatter. ‘EMCA’ doubles down on this approach, with a more identifiable rhythm sure to keep heads bouncing at peak time. 

‘LSTS’ rounds things off with an approach to bass programming which feels like listening to a biological entity undergoing a process of evolution and regression. The palette feels viscous and shifting here, with abstracted percussion and gunshots populating this sparse environment. 

As an EP, ‘Project Researcher’ feels like the auditory equivalent of observing a chemical process inside a petri-dish. Beton Brut sets himself up as a scientist on this release, meticulously collecting individual samples from the deep corners of YouTube, introducing these into abstracted environments and observing the reaction.

As we mark the milestone of POLAAR's 10th anniversary, we are thrilled to introduce a brand new compilation that defines our sonic territories and encapsulates the essence of our exploration in sound.
Driven by the desire of independance and passion for bass-driven rhythms and experimental sounds, Flore and his mate Marc decided to start POLAAR 10 years ago, with the ambition of shaping their unique Bass music sound, far from the code initiated by the UK club scene. Since then, we've been at the forefront of a musical revolution, championing diverse artists from all over the globe and pushing the limits of genre conventions.
Territoire / definition : Expanse of land, more or less clearly delimited, which generally presents a certain unity, a particular character.
Territoires Vol3 is a compilation in which we ask to our artists to remix a tune taken from our back catalog. It is a way to pay homage to this still relevant past releases and create a bridge between our past and present. A way to showcase the depth and diversity of our own vision, without rut of styles or BPM.

DivPro - Twist001
Announced: May 2024
Release Date: 07th June 2024
Preorder: https://twistnyc.bandcamp.com/album/twist001

NYC’s Twist crew extend their multi-faceted operations with the launch of their eponymously titled label. Texan DivPro inaugurates the imprint with TWIST001, an EP of rudest 2-step and 8-bar grime gut punches including a collaboration with London MC Renz.

Since 2022, label-head Don-Ri has bridged Ireland’s West Coast to America’s East Coast in the sounds of the underground. Bass, breaks and UKG define the obsession, leading to the formation of Twist; a cherished party collective that has been responsible for some of New York City’s most beloved raves that thrive in DIY spaces and small places. Many parties later, the crew now find themselves looking to expand into label operations. Texas native DivPro finds sonic solace within the crew’s maelstrom to oblige with the ideal debut in TWIST001. It follows the producer's previous turns for Ascetic House, Beat Concern, and L.A.U.R.A.

Kicking off proceedings, 'Punishment' rolls deep on a sharp 2 stepper with modern flair, tussling its proto influences amongst a melee of phat sines and movie samples. 'Datt Way' switches up for an ice-cold heater, a proper furious 8 bar roller of tough drum work sealed with a phenomenal vocal turn from London MC-on-the-rise Renz. 'RMT' hybridises the lot, seesawing a devious dialogue between garage swing, dubstep skank and pulsing toms. 'Reduvia' claps back for the closer, its grimey inclinations wobbling amongst a tense stuttering of kicks and basslines.

Based out of Seville, Spain, Clare Durant & Hartta are one of the freshest collaborations to emerge in the scene, launching London based record label Oddities’ debut release.

Their “Photoshoot” EP encapsulates all things odd and wonderful, flowing effortlessly through cerebral 4x4, zany breakbeat and glitchy UK bass. This varied 3 tracker attacks sound systems universally and demonstrates the diversity of their production arsenal.

Founder of the club night and label Bleach & Moan, Clare Durant began her DJing journey in 2023, supporting the likes of DJ MELL G, Nikki Nair, Nite Fleit and more.. As Dead Trax head honcho and member of the group Sabasonik, Hartta boasts releases on imprints such as Banoffee Pies Records, 3 Feet Deep and Outhouse Sounds amongst others.

PREMIERE: Clare Durant & Hartta - How Many Photoshoots Does It Take [Oddities]

Despina returns to All Centre for the first time since 2022’s Limb Slip to deliver our 60th release. The rising NYC artist follows recent releases on Kindergarten and Infinite Machine to bring together yet another outstanding release of mind-melting dancefloor futurism.

Opening track Orogene wastes no time in bringing up the energy levels with a swelling synth line, boisterous chants and rolling fills constructing an intense build-up. An alien-like synth line then leads the track forward alongside heavy syncopated drum patterns. The track builds even further with sharp synth stabs, culminating in dancefloor chaos.

On Sin Rooms, Despina invites vocalist Xu Lai who lays down abstract, energetic vocals over masterful drum programming and tense, enveloping sound design. A hazy pad floats in and out of the track, whilst an ecstatic arpeggiated melody enters in the second half, adding a hypnotic edge to the track’s powerful vocals and percussive dynamism.

City in Plastic closes the EP with a heavy electro-inflected club cut. Sharp, mechanical hi-hats give way to a propulsive groove. As the track rolls and builds, an addictive earworm chord progression bounces around driving percussion and snarling synth work.

Erupting Color is available across all digital platforms from the 31st May.
