For the next release on the label, Undersound reaches to the Caucasian country of Georgia with this electro 4-tracker from @generali_minerali. 
The up-and-coming artist is the booker and sound engineer at the Drama Bar in Tbilisi. 

He opens the EP with two darker jams with swirly 303 lines on steady 808 rhythms. Influences from the late Microlith permeate these tracks, as the artist mentions him as one of his biggest inspirations. 

The B-side slows the tempo down with “808 dream” where delayed melancholic melodies are intertwined with rough saw waves. Finally, “Evening Mood” offers the perfect mood for a warm-up or after party with its downtempo swing and drums.

"The next Undersound chapter is curated by Israeli artist @gal-prz under his PRZ moniker. While the producer has been known for his rougher outings, here he delights us with a mix of italo-inspired 4/4 jams and electro and break tracks composed in his hardware-laden studio. Both “Under Control” and “Luv Trk” on the A-side offer a peculiar view into the artist’s style and inspirations, with arpeggiated bass lines and evocative emotional leads.

“Expiration” on the flip side hits the listener with its punchy 808 snares and moody vocoder. “One Day” and “The Answer” offer different but complementary moods to close off this diverse EP, with the melancholy and emotion of the former contrasting the playful 303 and synths of the latter, all driven by a chugging 909 breakbeat."

On the flip-side, “Unsolved Origin” continues the artist’s melodic emotional journey. The last track closing the EP, “Monarch Monster”, sees a departure from the producer’s trademark style with EBM/new beat influenced drums."

This UK-based veteran, better known for the releases on Warp Records as part of the Wildplanet™️ duo in the 90s, opens the EP with “Caldera V” an emotional breaky workout with an acidic switch halfway through.

The EP opens with an entrancing track by our friend Omar, characterized by its groovy and punchy nature. After witnessing DJ Koolt's electrifying performance of this track at our event in collaboration with BFC in Doka last year, we simply couldn't pass up the opportunity to release it on vinyl.

On the B-side, we have Dynamic Wave, better known for their releases on Nature Records and Disturbance, with "Spectroid," a captivating electro track. It's a mellow track characterized by its gated vocoder-like synths and a smooth, unwavering bassline.

After many years of dedication, devotion and hard work behind the scenes we are happy to share the first album ever released on vinyl by the Wedding Acid Group.

This musical odyssey consists of 8 meticulously crafted tracks, created between 2010 and 2021, representing over a decade of evolution and growth. Each song showcases a unique facet of the trio's musical prowess, with tempos ranging from 100 to 150 bpm.

Disc 1 serves as a testament to the signature sounds of WAG, kicking off with the iconic and mesmerizing dark break journey "Toy Story" at 150 bpm. The energy continues to soar with the pulsating beats of "Colombo Acid" and "Low Moisture Acid," both guaranteed to ignite dance-floors worldwide. The first disc comes to a close with "Lost Memory FM," a true sonic adventure that starts in the abstract, gradually building up to the trademark dance-floor groove that the trio is renowned for.

Disc 2 delves into the introspective and emotive side of WAG's production process. "Optimistic Acid," the sole 4/4 track on the second record, enchants listeners with its rhythmic grooves and dreamy melodies, setting the stage for a captivating journey. "Sunday Circles" takes a detour into deeper realms with its evocative and playful melodies. The final side of the album delves even deeper into emotional territory with "Dog Park Memories," culminating in the breathtaking closing track, "City Gate Funk."

We are humbled and honoured to present this remarkable work by our dear friends, the Wedding Acid Group. As the second album to grace the shelves of Undersound Recordings.

Directly from Saudi Arabia, Noboot delivers a 4 tracker ep as his first solo 12” ever released. 

The Ep opens with  "404," a nocturnal ambiance takes center stage. The synthesizer tones weave a captivating tapestry, initiating a profoundly gratifying journey through pulsating acid 4/4 rhythms. Following "Weather Systems," cosmic dreaminess evokes pure contentment, with a neon-hued, blissful ambient backdrop.

The B side takes an even more melancholic direction with "Glumnite" that brings a dark midnight vibe, blending tempos into a mix of blue acid Electro and techno. In "Sing & Cry," the music unfolds organically, sidestepping predictable crescendos to create a melancholic atmosphere. The result is a truly poignant track that evokes genuine sadness and emotional resonance.

For the next release, we are glad to introduce the @theweddingacidgroup. WAG are a group of three friends based in Budapest, jamming on both classic Roland gear, but also modern instruments like the Monomachine. All the tracks were recorded live around 2016 in the Ballacid studio “Újpest”.

The EP opens with three fast paced tracks where emotional melodies are intertwined with classic 909, 707 and 606 drums. The flipside presents the uplifting “Chocoball 707” and closes with “Paprika Dye Acid”, the slowest jam of the EP.

Overall, the tracks offer a glimpse into the emotional world of these three talented Hungarian producers and we are extremely happy to have them on board for their second vinyl release.

Release date: August 2020

Following his debut release on kindred label Marginal Returns, Undersound is very happy to present a new EP by London-based producer and close friend @sohrab_dj. 

This EP showcases his wide ranging influences, with a diverse sound palette, while demonstrating his already-established personal aesthetic. 
The EP opens with “The Fool”, a steady four-to-the-floor track with esoteric eastern-tinged melodies, and continues with “Vertical Alignment”, a bassline-led emotional trip with interlocking evolving harmonies. 

The flip offers two contrasting moods: the rougher “Resolution”, a fast-paced late-night burner, and “Digital Bliss”, whose soothing synths evoke old school Goa vibes.

After a couple of releases from Wedding Acid Group on Undersound, we are happy to welcome J. Mono, one of their founding members. 

While certain traits of the tracks are in typical WAG style, the EP oozes with personal touches from the experienced Hungarian producer. 

The record opens with a live jam from 2012 recorded straight onto cassette, where a combination of analogue and FM synths on trademark 606 drums create a sweet and melancholic mood.

The remaining tracks are from 2020, with ‘M.aus’ and ‘Acid_e’ presenting a steadier side to the artists sound with 909 rhythms driving acidic basslines and overtones. ‘Izolal’ closes the EP, with rumbling basslines and interchanging sharp emotional leads, making it one of our recent favourites.
