This was not one thing or another. The machine was baffled and confused by its perfect array of imperfections which meant it could not be neatly packaged or placed within the categories by which it knew.

See, here was the thing, humans were always wonky. They could not be paired to the constraints of societal brackets, for then there would be little left in the realm of imagination or creative freedom. I was not we - it never had been.

Sparks began to fly as the construct of reality was shattered beneath the weight of its own clumsy foolishness. How had they ever imagined they might get away with it? For they themselves, were wonky after all.

E-Talking is a producer we've followed for years, both independently and as one half of Nummer - the hardware duo who have released music on the likes of Going Good.

E-Talking has appeared independently on the likes of Going Good and AD93 fka Whities. This next EP enters new territories, targeting the club directly with foreboding cuts of electronic music built for the dancefloor.

PREMIERE: E-Talking - Wonky I

Pre-order: https://piezopz.bandcamp.com/album/odd-hooks-ansia006

With 'Odd Hooks' Piezo conjures up 5 tracks of frenetic & kinetic mind/body music that are distinctly his own with a reverent nod to such genres as UKG, grime, techno, gqom & footwork, on his own label Ansia. Evolving beyond the manufactured nostalgia that populates today's current dance milieu, Piezo takes bass science into the realm of the metaphysical.

The EP's B2 stormer, 'Cutest Kitty Content' teems with bizarre ear-candies but moves with a different and faster framework. Footwork with outsider insight.

Heavyweight odes to the UK hardcore continuum from Tallinn via Toronto label Surve Records. The collaborative project of Dima Disk is shaped by bass, breaks, metallic percussion and the kind of background synth washes found on early dubstep, UKG and Metalheadz records alike. With a clear penchant for the colder, more alien variety of 5am warehouse rollers than those on a soulful tip, the duo of Ragnar Rahuoja and Robert Nikolajev waste no time setting the tone for their first EP since 2017s Fetty on the in-house label of electronic music vanguards Rubadub.

Showing an evolution in both production and palette, Pahakas retains the concern for chest-rattling soundsystem pressure but advances on the slightly lo-fi sound design of the pairs last outing. The ‘Feel the sound’ sample clatters around razor sharp, 130bpm + breakbeats and a rolling sub that nods to golden era Peverelist on opening cut ‘U R A Gem’. On ‘Betty’ and ‘MLBT’ the more spacey, ambient end of the genre are given a look but retain the overall atmosphere of the EP whilst ‘2kSamba’ ups the tempo and leans toward a mutant hybrid of early 2000s UK prog and contemporary bass music. Essential dance equipment for you and yours!

> Cabasa (https://soundcloud.com/cab_asa)

Cabasa makes his debut on Control Freak with 4 tracks of stripped back, percussive dance music, plus a remix from NYC/Kindergarten’s Ayesha.

Belgian producer Cabasa has carved a distinctive niche in the fertile Brussels club scene with his sleek & minimalistic productions, which reimagine UK soundsystem culture through a fresh, contemporary lens.

'Bird Tool' traverses a range of genre and BPM ranges in typical CF fashion, from the 140-influenced stylings of ‘Volume 3’, to the mutant halftime rhythms of title track ‘Bird Tool’ and ‘End Credits’ - exploring a tempo range that’s become a popular fixture of UK club music in recent years. Rounding off the release, Ayesha delivers a slick ‘Drums You Can Touch’ dub of 'Bird Tool', fresh off the back of her critically acclaimed LP ‘Rhythm Is Memory’.

PREMIERE : Cabasa - Circles

Club Mate (DJ Plead remix)

When triangles become circles, that's when you know you're observing the right angles in life. That's exactly what this majestic trio did on Susan007. From down under to way up above, Jensen Interceptor meets JEANS and in between it seems they let the dogs out with Axefield. Pretty safe to say this is straight fire. From dance floors to ballrooms : Susan ain't naked just yet, so let's get her t - shirt wet before the sun comes up again.

Lurka returns to Timedance, hot off the heels of his recent collaboration record with Batu on Fringe White. The four-track Rhythm Hi-Tek EP sees him in deadly form, showcasing his signature hi-def pressure.

Founded by Slacker and Sam PW, Pseudonym Records is a new label ‘focused on the ethereal, twisted and broken fringes of UK-indebted dance music’ and will make his first stamp with a multi-artist release next month, ‘Corporeal Vol. 1’. Giving us a little taste of what’s to come, Slacker contributes a chugging acid-tinged track ‘Active Dreams’, stepping away from the previous ambient and high NRG jungle records. Another excellent production from the animated artist.
