Granul is a visionary producer and genre-fluid tech creator with a sound that delves deep into texture while carrying enough weight to place it firmly in sound-system culture. He integrates elements from old-school club music, hip hop, break, and left-field bass; his sound includes heavy and layered bass-lines, organic percussion, old-school breaks, and deep, thunderous dark matter. His intention is to meld old and new techniques, and AI algorithms, deep learning, and programming are the main elements of his sonic production. Granul perceives sound synesthetically; he visualises rhythmic, digital, and progressive sounds as geometric shapes. Sensory mutations are primary in his renowned audio-visual artworks born out of unique street data collected in Istanbul.

DROMEK unleashes four earth-shattering mortar shells of cosmic horror guaranteed to scare the life out of anyone that’s old enough to remember when Snickers were called Marathons. 

Taking the blueprint of contemporary 160BPM club music then speeding it up and blending it with disparate influences of Jungle/Drum & Bass, IDM & Hardcore alongside a healthy dose of knotty rhythms, granular abstractions and gnarled distortion, each tune stands on its own as a unique exploration of sonic entropy.

Diving deep into the heart of underground sonics, Defrostatica Records, the Leipzig-based beacon of cutting-edge sound, presents a stunning fusion of genres in their latest offering. Since its inception in 2015, the label has boldly navigated the realms of Footwork, Juke, Jungle, and Ghettotech; now embarking on a soulful exploration with the "Waves EP" by powerhouse duo, Arcane & Jon1st.

Scheduled for release on May 3rd, the "Waves EP" marks an evocative journey through the soundscapes of Chicago's Juke and Footwork, juxtaposed with Bristol's signature jungle breakbeat.

Today, we're happy today to premiere a favourite from the release, and sit down with the pair for some bold Q&A.

@henry-greenleaf delves into a new catalogue series for the label, focusing on vinyl releases. ‘Keepsake’ is a reflective piece on creative exploration and personal growth, written while navigating post-university unemployment. The release samples records and cassettes to weave a unique tapestry of sound, each track stretching anticipations with an eclectic blend of strange sound effects, filter sweeps, and other alterations, showcasing a diverse palette of sound and meticulous attention to detail. Embodying the spirit of fearless innovation, listeners are invited on an immersive pursuit of creativity and connection.

Digital Bonus: Get The Hell Out (2-Step Take)

Pre-Orders: https://differentintel.bandcamp.com/album/div001-henry-greenleaf-keepsake-ep

Physical Release: 07/06/2024
Digital Release: TBA

Fresh off the press this release comes on 12”, 180g white label vinyl in black disco sleeves.

‘Keepsake’ introduces listeners to the record with an energetic blend of grungy, ethereal elements, showcasing Henry’s artistic flair. The track seamlessly intertwines dreamlike atmospheres with raw textures, contrasting these layers with intense drum-driven drama, tying it all together to offer a preview of the musical landscape set to define the entirety of the record.

The enigmatic soundscape of ‘Cafe Boogaloo’ carefully warps an unmistakable garage arrangement into an eclectic and hypnotic journey. As the track progresses it embraces the unconventional, introducing a disjointed groove that gradually sinks you further and further into it, defying categorisation and serving as a testament to the creative possibilities within electronic music.

‘Get The Hell Out’ is a formidable force of relentless rhythms that disregard all agreements. The integration of intense drum work with melancholic undertones opposes listeners as it bulldozes along, emerging not only as a force that invites exploration, but also as one that commands your attention - capturing the essence of its title.

In its final notes, ‘Cafe Stalker’ prioritises sound design over club functionality in order to instill a feeling of unease and suspense, crafting an atmosphere of palpable tension and lurking dread. The deliberate pace of the track trudges along, deftly building tension until it inevitably brings the record to a grinding halt.

The digital bonus offers a deconstructed version of ‘Get The Hell Out’ through a 2-step rendition, reminiscent of the iconic days of Big Apple Records and its influence. This interpretation remains faithful to the original composition’s substance and rhythm, merging the nostalgia of early rave culture with Henry’s modern-day touch.

"When I started work on this EP I had a clearer than usual concept in mind. Historically I have tended to chip away at several sketches alongside each other, working until I have enough material to form a release. This time around I knew that I wanted to make a four track EP and that it would be geared further toward a club setting than some of my previous output. I also decided to adopt a faster and more methodical workflow; I would work quickly once I had the bare bones of a track, not allowing myself much time to agonize over the finer details, overcooking it, as is all too often the demise of a good idea. Once I had a shortlist of tracks to get over the line, I would finish them one-by-one in series, rather than simultaneously in fits and starts. Aside from ‘Toe Curl’, each track here was road tested in a live performance setting at least once during its development, forcing me to strip them back and emphasize their most exciting elements, and to remove any stretches that went on for too long unnecessarily. I think that this way of working has resulted in music that is less fussy and more cohesive than it might otherwise have been. Hence ‘Writ Large’: Clear, stark, exaggerated."
