The legendary Flowdan originally landed on the Canadian label Bare Selection in December last year with the powerful ‘Guilty As Charged’ EP. Now the label have pulled together a remix package of the project, bringing together veterans Roska and Marcus Visionary alongside rising stars Wize, Cassius Select and Lijah, who represent the worlds of UK funky, drill and leftield bass. 

Berlin-based producer Cassius Select takes on ‘Light Work’, taking the original 2-step influenced track to new heights, with twisted avant-garde drum patterns and rolling bass. Becoming quite the prolific producer, this remix follows releases in Banoffee Pies Records, Slink, and Edited Arts. 

Since launching in 2018, Bare Selection has quickly established itself as a champion for underground electronic music from both sides of the pond. Over the years they have released records from Lijah, .nathan., Manga Saint Hilare, Tre Mission, Freeza Chin, K-Notes and more. 

‘Guilty As Charged - The Remixes’ by Flowdan will be released on the 6th August - pre-order here: http://smartlinks.cygnusmusic.net/l/5056412765476/60f12b8f7be3bd3e050d4efb

Remixes

Lithe - Second Pavilion (Galtier Remix)

Holloway makes his long-awaited return to All Centre with Dust 2 Dust, featuring two tracks in the style of his 2018 release Agar Oud.

Send It On kicks off in a menacing half-time groove. Roaring basslines envelope the listener as precise snares and punchy kicks propel the track forward. The track emphatically breaks down half way through before switching back into the track’s rolling percussive patterns.

Dust 2 Dust is available across all digital platforms on the 3rd of March.

Third single of Maloca, Vol.2 forthcoming on Dec 8th
maloca.bandcamp.com/album/maloca-vol-2

« Founded almost four years ago, Le Motel’s Maloca Records has excelled in world-building as it tirelessly brings together some of the best and most innovative artists from different pockets of the club community around the world. This is showcased most notably through the compilation series which returns for its second volume on the 8th December as it combines both established and breakthrough artists.

Across 17 tracks, Maloca, Vol. 2 features both label family and exciting debuts with the likes of Farsight, Griffit Vigo, and DJ JM returning to the imprint. The rest of the compilation sees knockout contributions from the likes of Bambounou, Flore, Konduku, Tristan Arp, NVST, De Grandi, Neida, Cheb Runner, Malo2k, Leese, Ultima Esuna & Destrata, Mika Oki, M I M I and Space Drum Meditation. Whilst these artists may be from different cities across the pond, they all have something in common - they are leading the way for the next wave of club music. Whether that’s the riotous sounds of NVST, Griffit Vigo’s ever- evolving landscape of gqom, Tristan Arp’s signature insect-inspired soundscape, the emerging Brussels-based artists M I M I and Mika Oki or the trippy, introspective melodies of Konduku and Space Drum Meditation. Maloca, Vol. 2, captures a mind-melting moment in time.

The artwork is by Brussels-based painter Anastasia Bay who’s work presents a renewed vision of the human figure. Oscillating between abstraction and figuration, Anastasia Bay’s work is all about contrast and balance. The choice of a precise fragment of reality in her works dissolves any narration. »

Maloca, Vol. 2

Bambounou - Tboujeh

Stolen Velour (@stolenvelour) returns to Kindergarten Records with another confident display of intricate sound design and mind-bending rhythmic fluidity. In equal parts an embrace of silliness on the dancefloor and a serious piece of floor-shaking heft, Jasper builds on the palette of his last EP with the label, Onyx, and elevates Stolen Velour’s sound to new heights. A pair of label regulars switch up the flavours on the remixes. Sobolik (@tomsobolikmusic) strips back the opener to inject some space and a touch of dub, whereas Despina’s (@despinadespina) take on ‘I Know, I know’ tames some of the og’s wilder impulses to laser-in on strobing breaks and a wobbly low-end groove.

TOGO - drowned_in_venom, 2024 
Buy: https://re-made.bandcamp.com/

After an expansive debut release on HTS, TOGO now turns to REMADE with a new EP full of sharp contrasts and tactile elements, capturing the restless energy of the early deconstructed club movement and melding disparate styles into 4 propulsive and emotional tracks. ‘drowned_in_venom’ explores their response to uprooting to a new city, with TOGO delving into the constant sense of existing between brief encounters, frequently resulting in seeing the colder side of their new surroundings. This is manifested in the
aural quality of the release, which shifts through wistful melodies, concrete textures and a consistent pulse of kick drums and bass.
