Malaky - Acceptance

Following his previous release on IM:LTD, Pennygiles has kept himself mad busy over the past year both in and out the studio while pumping iron and shaping up for the ‘World’s Strongest Man’ championship.
In order the put all the odds in our corner, we took Dutch shady trainer Nymfo aboard to come up with a pumped up steroidal version of ‘Stories Untold’ while the B side sees the return of the infamous French nutritionist Redeyes sparring with the Welsh ogre for a carb free dubby liquid track called ‘Wavering Lines’.
In addition, our good doctors Arkaik and Robustus have cooked up the perfect digital complement shakes for our tight panted hero, proving, once again, IM:LTD’s ability to come up with some of the juiciest Drum & Bass music around.

IDEAS LOST Pt. 2

Hey there, KNODE boys here.

Five years ago, a ransomware attack wiped out every project file we had from our sessions together. We were fortunate enough to recover some of the WAV renders of a few of these projects, but they are in the form of sketches and early works in progress. In the years since, we've each been doing new things and exploring different sides of our creativity—solo work, collaborative projects, live sound, and things completely removed from the world of music. In the interim, these files sat untouched while we wrestled with what they represented to us: unfinished work, unrealized potential, a reflection of our vision. While spending the last five years trying to re-build a catalogue, holding onto these felt wrong. It honestly felt like we could not let go of work that was lost, as it represented a time in our lives where we were both excited for what the future of our project could look like. Releasing them didn’t feel like an option either, as we both struggle with perfectionism and the thought of people hearing half-baked music made us both nervous.

Despite this, we decided to compile an “album” of the surviving WAV renders from this time, incomplete ideas that we never thought would see the light of day. Our ideas as artists often get stuck in the space between intention and execution, never quite becoming what we imagine in our minds. This is our attempt at a making peace with imperfection by showing the work as it existed and not as what it “should have been”. This release also marks a turning point, honoring what we made back then while giving ourselves permission to move forward separately and together in new ways.

If you've ever struggled to finish something, to release something that doesn't feel "ready," or to move on from work you've outgrown - this is for you. We hope this inspires you to let go too.
 
All love,

Dan and Tim - KNODE

Imba’s story started when he began pouring over the many genres electronic dance music had to offer. It was here he found a home within drum & bass, having perfected his craft over the past two years and taking influence from a multitude of definitive artists, from Technimatic to Koan Sound. His diversity and creative draw comes from a vast musical knowledge, a knowledge he created whilst meticulously expanding his record collection, as well as his own back catalogue with every stellar cut he’s followed from his first release. 

Already being pedestalled by the scene’s most exciting independent imprints, Imba returns to Good Karma Music for a four-track EP that’ll highlight his impressive musicality. With his first notable output on the Perth based label, the ‘Infinite EP’ is certainly a return to form. Its complexly designed landscapes and stunning textures pull you into the deep, liquid vibes he rules supreme over. A stark testament to his ingenious production capabilities and viability as an upcoming drum & bass artist, he manages to capture the soul of more intimate productions whilst catering to the heads. 

Opening track ‘Feel You’ draws your synapsis in with pitched up synths and floating, ethereal samples. Metallic breaks add a foreboding overture to its carefully layered intro, before the track cascades into scuttling percussion and escalating tones. A fresh take on the otherwise delicate sounds of liquid, Imba demonstrates why he’s been pushed into the forefront over recent years. Title-track ‘Infinite’ follows suit, a collaboration between Leah Costello and Octo Pi. With beautifully distorted vocals drifting between the intricately manufactured mix, each pad takes you higher and higher into its moody breakdowns. Once again, it’s a play on the traditional, uplifting liquid record.

Finally, ‘Starlight’ and ‘Dynasty’ close the already stunning collection of tracks. Whilst ‘Starlight’ is an upbeat, percussive roller which features littered note arpeggios and a drivingly winding bassline, ‘Dynasty’ brings producer Tremah on board for its combination of wooden instrumentals and explosive bass. Together, they further solidify Imba’s presence within the circuit. By adding yet another two strikingly honed records which prove a timelessness in his production standard.
