Much loved underground community organisation Parry Talks has announced the release of their sophomore, record label, charity compilation, Parry Talks Alumni Volume II. The 4 track compilation comes off the back of an extremely successful debut release which raised $1500 for NSW Aboriginal Legal Service. Now the tracklist has opened up to Sydney/Eora’s noisy neighbours in Melbourne/Naarm for a charity release with 100% of the revenue being dedicated to Smugglers of Light. This digital only, bandcamp exclusive release features a who's who of the incredible underground scenes, featuring Purient, DAWS, Posture and Glen S.

The charity which every cent of the compilation will contribute funds to is Smugglers of Light.
The Foundation was created to provide assistance to young indigenous musicians and youth at risk through programs of taking film-makers and musicians to their communities. The charity introduces songwriting and musicianship and performance skills for First Nations communities, assists n the provision of musical education and training to persons in the area of youth and indigenous music, in order to improve the outreach of musical education and storytelling in Australia, to facilitate musical development and innovation in Australian indigenous communities; and to encourage the performance of contemporary community music.

It seems Gestalt Records are going to end the year on a strong note, not that anyone, keeping an eye on this bustling outfit, would expect otherwise. In just over 3 years of existence they have released a number of stellar EPs from producers with fresh ideas and elegant sounds. Encompassing trippy progressive, leftfield house, hypnotic breaks and everything in between - the Tallinn-based label has created a signature sound which we’re big fans of here at Bolting Bits. And it is obvious that the latest addition to their ranks will fit right in.

For their 25th release, Gestalt Records have recruited Ed Hodge, who has previously released on Distant Horizons, White Peach and Dansu Discs. Hailing from the city of Birmingham, he also makes up ½ of Mother Of Pearls, his partner being the impeccable Tom Jarmey. A true man of culture, Ed is a fully trained saxophonist/clarinettist and his output is laced with classical influences. And this release is a classic Gestalt Records 4-tracker - filled with surging beats, pacey atmosphere and progressive soundscapes.

Clocking in at just over 6 minutes, the title track ‘Zest’ was clearly created with a club setting in mind. The 127 BPM piece starts subtly but soon evolves into a rollicking number that features a number of ups and downs, sure to get listeners moving - whether that’d be on the dancefloor or under the table. The elevating synth line, coupled with relentless percussion and an obscure but catchy vocal sample holds ground and leads the way for the remainder of this forward-thinking release. Whether it’s the ethereal ‘Black Flag’, gritty ‘Genesis’ or acid-infused ‘The Secret History’, each track on the ‘Nassau’ EP features enthralling sound design and is ready to be put to the test, by the wide-eyed dancers around the world.

PREMIERE: Ed Hodge - Zest

“What’s that racket?? Oh for god’s sake, it’s those London lads up to mischief again. Bloody nuisance! And look at the grins on their faces…” 

Lucky number seven on Magic Carpet sees @duowemusic, the boys behind Fraise Records, doing the absolute business with this versatile 4-tracker. Hot dancefloor material for the android discothèque. 🧢

Gestalt Records celebrate their 4th release anniversary with yet another whopping VA, this time including tracks by Tywi, Route 8 and Reflex Blue, plus a long-awaited reissue of 2 Trip 2gether's 1995 classic, 'Same Trip'.

PREMIERE: Tywi - Razor Cut (Tension Mix)

On May 20th On Rotation returns for their first VA release - Genetic Memories Vol. 1. 🧠

Anderson opens the release with the mystical  ‘Polymorphic Magic’ - a low-slung builder combining deep synths with sampled instrumentation. 

“I’m a huge fan of self resonating / overtone instruments so using the Fujara was a no brainer. A naturally psychedelic sounding instrument, I wanted to accompany the flutey pipe with a deeper and low-mid tempo chug.” - Anderson

Next up is Musty Head Records main man Jamie Leather - combining the tight drums and skilful melodic work of his previous releases with all the influences we love, ‘Discovery’ is sure to get any party going.

Leading the B-Side of the record is Ed Hodge's ‘Atreides’ - a tough yet playful banger drawing influences from across the spectrum of UK music. Gun fingers guaranteed! 

“It’s probably the fastest, rowdiest track I’ve made under the Ed Hodge moniker and pulls influences from house, trance and speed garage.” - Ed

Closing the release, we speed things up and travel deep into the past with Phazma's ‘Arrakeen’. Featuring ethereal synths, driving rhythms and beefy low end, this floaty number works just as well at home as in the club - a perfect way to round off the EP! 

“After some help from my musical peers and some heavy inspiration from the release of the new Dune movie, I managed to come up with something that I’m pretty stoked with!.” - Phazma

On Rotation is a Leeds based event & mix series turned label with their debut release (Adam Pits' album 'A Recurring Nature') being one of last year’s highlights and a frequent sight on end of year lists. This was followed by ‘Slingshot’, an intergalactic voyage from Solar Suite with Roza Terenzi on the remix.

The 18th segment of Haŵs' sonic anthology comes from the US-born electronica wunderkid Anderson! After featuring on the label's 'Viral Syndicate' digital compilation series back in 2020, they had him in the crosshairs for a full release ever since.

The result? A brilliant 4 track EP filled with dynamic proggy goodness, acid squelches and intoxicating house rhythms, unmistakably inspired by the 90s and stamped with the signature Anderson sound.

PREMIERE: Diego Calix - Iron J [impresión]

Martijn Ravesloot aka Melawati makes music out of mistakes. He comes from an indie background but has always admired Aphex Twin while playing in bands such as The Subs and working in theatre. He has a love of experimenting with soundwaves that gives rise to his complex, experimental and improvised sounds. He first met Maceo Plex while jamming and that session turned into the track 'Daliah' which dropped on Ellum Audio and was remixed by Tale of Us.

After that, Melawati wrote this most absorbing and beautiful album during the pandemic in a dark studio attic in the heart of Brussels. He set about recording live experiments on analog synths and then deconstructed and reconstructed them into the tracks presented here. The angelic tones of guest vocalist Lisa Jane feature on two tracks though the pair have never met, and Melawati is now set to take his impressive live show to Tomorrowland. His life has changed since writing the album, he now has two children and lives on a farm, but the power of this music where organic and alien worlds intersect remains utterly compelling.

Opener 'I Just Want To Go Walking' pairs a heavenly vocal with celestial chords and a bustling broken beat that strikes a powerful emotional note right from the off. The excellent 'Riddles' showcases more majestic synth work and molten melodies that suspend you in mid-air while 'Slow Pulse' is an intense layering of drones and heavy drum tumbles that again offsets light and dark, tension and release.

'Red Herring' rests with beautifully pensive synth patterns that twinkle, warp and melt before your very ears and 'You And I' takes off on a rubbery groove overlaid with heart-aching keys and shimmering, wordless vocals. 'Somebody' is brain-soothing synth bliss with lush patterns and icy drums that gently unfold to get you in a trance and the gorgeous 'Radiate' then offers a widescreen and cosmic ambient interlude. The heartbroken synths of 'Let Your Love Wash Over Me' speak of the end of a cosmic love affair and 'Violent Thoughts' rebuilds on smooth arps and smeared pads over downtempo drums. The final trio of tracks offers rousing breakbeats on 'New White Noise', uplifting synth catharsis on 'Pain And Pressure' and a melancholic lullaby on 'Stellar'.

Artimia is a beautiful mix of harmony and dissonance, of real emotional power and improvised musical elegance.

MNMT 346 : MTRL

Konduku returns to the Delsin Mantis series with an exciting double pack that dives deeper into his remarkable fractured rhythms and light-touch synthesis. Over the course of nine tracks, Ruben Üvez straddles the space between introspective headphone trips and hypnotizing dancefloor elegance, operating in a liminal zone of fluid tempos, submerged atmospheres, and pointillist beats. It's an open-ended but clear-sighted approach that aligns perfectly with the direction of the Mantis series. Monument premieres the track "Derinkuyu" from the release, which will be out on the 14th of October.

A multi-system conglomerate servicing planets within the Orion Arm of the Milky Way, TerraFirm provides the desiccated, toxified, irradiated or otherwise uninhabitable planets of this sector with a suite of services to rectify any environmental challenge. From geoformation to carbon extraction, desalination to biome rehabilitation, TerraFirm has a full range of services to return your planet to its naturally thriving, pre-apocalypse state. 
With the most basic of remediation behind us we now turn our attention to your planet’s hydrosphere. This phase is critical not only because your planet’s water inventory is the cradle of all life, but also because it is likely toxic and hyperacidic from millennia of pollution, dumping and carbon dioxide uptake. Microsmosis is a process by which microbial bioremediation and reverse osmosis are combined to purify your planet’s oceans. Genetically engineered bacteria are deployed to consume pollutants, metabolizing them into harmless biodegradable waste. Simultaneously, our fleet of supermassive ocean-trawling membrane machines filter every ounce of your oceans’ water inventory, ridding it of unwanted ions and molecules. Rivers, lakes and streams are subsequently purified as clean ocean waters are disseminated by your planet’s natural water cycle.
