Releasing for the first time under a fresh alias, @djadhdgotbngrz steps up with ‘Vortex’ EP on @prettyweirdrecords, a 4-track record highlighting the producer’s expansion from 140 and grime as ALXZNDR, part of the DEEP MEDi family, to a refined signature sound positioned within the UK techno realm.

‘Wobble’ utilises Alex’s UK funky background with giddy bass loops alongside drums that break apart and reassemble intermittently, invoking a sense of being locked in somewhere hostile.

Bell Curve & Strategy - Spacey (Doctor Jeep Remix)

Casting a self-reflexive lens over his roots via the medium of crushing, future-rushing soundsystem sonics, Low End Activist returns to Sneaker Social Club with a full-length of monumental proportions.

When the Low End Activism 12” ignited on Sneaker in 2019, it paid tribute to the Blackbird Leys estate in Oxford, UK, where LEA originates from. In the shadow of social inequality and strengthened by the unity of the multi-ethnic community, Blackbird Leys still imposes a powerful influence on LEA’s work, even as he’s stepped out onto Seagrave for last year’s Game Theory album and notched up the first couple of releases on his own self-titled label.

On this new album, Hostile Utopia sums up the conflicting emotions attached to memories of home – how it’s possible to feel nostalgic for the griminess of urban and suburban Britain, its ordinary tales of bitterness and frustration, but also its intrinsic passion and solidarity. At a time when social division is actively engineered by Machiavellian forces, real conviviality at street level feels like an impossible dream.

LEA communicates these tensions through a style which is becoming his signature – dynamic bass torsion and chiseled, fractalised rhythms slugging around the 130 mark. It’s moody like a UK-themed record ought to be, but it’s not morose. There’s fierceness in every snap and rumble, as the legacies of hardcore, jungle, dubstep and grime pour into the casing prior to the gunpowder lighting.

On previous LEA releases, the MC roll call has pointed to some of the most vital voices touching the mic in the present day. Flowdan, Sikka Rymes and Trim all had something different to impart over the riddims, and now Hostile Utopia expands on that with the most extensive show of lyrical strength yet. Mez lights up the woozy, abstract grime swerve of ‘Mercenary’ in a musical style. Emz brings a ruthlessly sharp verbal steez to ‘GetGet’, Killa P gets busy toasting over ‘DFRNT STYLE’ and ‘Superhighway’ carries the dexterous hip-hop flow of Cadence Weapon.

In between those standout tracks, LEA expresses just as much in the production. Tracks brimming with stories to impart, laden with symbols masquerading as samples and draped in aural garb that firmly places Hostile Utopia in a place, a mood, that could only belong to the UK. It’s a hybrid sound just like the society it sprang from, and therein lies its power.

Knoxville, Tennessee producer Nikki Nair is the latest signing to Barely Legal’s Pretty Weird Records. Having previously made outings on Scuffed Recordings and Gobstopper, where Nikki Nair experimented with the human voice on his ‘Morphism’ EP, his latest offering finds him playing with bass stabs and old movie samples. ‘Scuzzy’ is one of two tracks on a double single coming out on Pretty Weird this Friday, and on it Nikki Nair flexes his percussive muscles with rude flair, with early support coming from the likes of Four Tet and Ben UFO.

Premiere: Nikki Nair - 'Scuzzy'

"Glick Glock by Kessler sets the scene for this EP, a heavy broken sound that crafts together gunshot samples, ominous ticking and furious fast paced percussion in a classic breakbeat composition with a modern twist."
