Unit 137 (2012-2018)

http://unit137.lnk.to/zaf

https://hylu137.bandcamp.com/album/latent-variables-vol-1

Latent Variables Vol. 1 is the debut solo EP from Unit 137’s founder, Hylu. The three track record is characterised by its bass heavy foundations layered with unexpected rhythms, synth lines and samples. Expertly crafted percussion fill the tracks, providing constantly shifting sounds and textures. Undefined by one genre, ‘Latent Variables Vol. 1’ draws influences from across the electronic scene: dub, hip-hop, jungle and experimental can all be heard in this release. Hylu’s debut EP shows the full force of his production skills, taking him out of his usual role as ‘producer for vocalist’ and letting his own electronic style flourish.

The opening track of the EP and lead single, Zaf, builds slowly, interspersing deep dub baselines, catchy riffs and jungle rhythms. Hylu never rests for long on one sound, constantly sonically experimenting; a single filled with the unexpected.

The EP came into being through a collaborative experiment between Hylu and the visual artist Latent Variables. The pair decided to write together, sending visuals and music back and forth, with the intention of creating short animations with sound. They set parameters to the experiment; they chose the tempos of 90bpm, 120bpm and 150bpm as this would mean - when using the frame rate of 25fps and within a certain amount of bars and frames - that the videos and music would end at 60 seconds. The resulting short animations became the framework for Hylu to develop his EP.

Premiere: Hylu 'Zaf'

We've got a spooky retro dancehall treat for you this Halloween courtesy of Bazza Ranks, with vocals from Jago & Deemas. J.  The track is packed with references ranging from werewolves to Frankenstein and all things that go bump in the night.  A lot of fun was had when putting this quick comedy track together so we thought it fitting to share the comedy dancehall vibes and give it away as a free download.  Happy Halloween from all of us here at Irish Moss Records.

LA's Lost City (aka veteran producers Noah D and No Thing) step up with a release for NICE UP! records, having previously dropped jungle inflected bangers on Liondub International, Dub Stuy and Avocaudio. Taking their influences from dubstep and jungle past and applying them to the present, Lost City champion a sound fully encapsulating modern soundsystem culture.

Featuring bonafide reggae dancehall legend General Jah Mikey (who has shared releases with names such as Frankie Paul, Echo Minott and Peter Ranking), "I Spy" drops heavy on the dancefloor, bridging the dancehall/jungle divide perfectly. London's Ghost Writerz up the jungle vibes with a killer remix featuring a guest verse from GWz vocalist Jimmy Screech.

It felt only right that the first thing to come out of the new studio was onlyjoe’s latest EP, Revolution. The EP comprises of onlyjoe’s fantastic original, as well as remixes from UK hip-hop legend Skitz in collaboration with The Sea, and Bristol based dubstep don, RSD. Alongside these two is a jungle version from our very own Sleepy Time Ghost and a Version.
