Presque un an après le premier volume, la série Risky Business est enfin de retour avec un nouvel assortiment de riddims endiablés, concoctés par un assortiment de talents internationaux :

Étoile montante de la scène montpelliéraine, affilié à Plaisance Records ainsi que l’équipe Monstart, c’est Pura Pura qui ouvre l’EP avec un riddim sombre et martial.

C’est ensuite le nantais Dites Safran, récemment aperçu sur l’excellent label de Toma Kami Man Band qui lui emboîte le pas avec un morceau aux sonorités organiques et méticuleuses.

On traverse ensuite l’atlantique avec le montréalais SIM, sorti à plusieurs reprises sur l’inimitable Nervous Horizons avec un DJ tool mélodique et entêtant.

Retour en Europe avec l’irlandais Glimmerman, boss du label Thrust Collective et auteur d’un EP remarqué sur First Second Label.

Le bristolien Jurango, signé sur Livity Sound, Pressure Dome et plus récemment chez nos camarades parisiens de Resources est également de la partie.

Et pour compléter cette belle équipe, le londonien Dome Zero, vu sur Accidental Meetings et All Centre, livre un morceau syncopé au sound design biscornu.

Almost a year after the first volume, Risky Business is back at last, with a new roster of mad riddims by a selection of international talents :

Rising star of the Montpellier scene, affiliated with Plaisance Records & Monstart, Pura Pura opens the release with a dark and martial track.

Then come Nantes-based Dites Safran, recently seen on Toma Kami’s Man Band outfit with a meticulous and organic sounding riddim.

We then cross the Atlantic to find Montreal-based SIM, multiple Nervous Horizon signee with one of his melodic DJ tools.

Back to Europe with Irish producer Glimmerman, boss of Thrust Collective and author of a remarkable EP on First Second Label.

Bristolian Jurango, signed on Livity Sound, Pressure Dome and more recently our parisian colleagues Resources also hops on the roster with a sick riddim.

And to round up this brilliant team, London based Dome Zero, seen on Accidental Meetings & All Centre, signs off on a syncopated, left-field banger.

Insistent, full-throttle torque as @toma-kami revives his ‘Speed Oddity’ series. 

A second instalment sees the Parisian revisit a blueprint where hybridity takes prominence. Tensile, hi-NRG club pressure for the duration.

Our premiere comes complete with an assist from @wajang co-founder @amorsatyr. Having masterminded the ‘Speed Dembow’ series with labelmate Sui Mata, he and Kami augment 'Djédjé' with tribalistic, free party propulsion.

‘Speed Oddity vol. II’ is out February 17th on Man Band.

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.

Victor Metske presents 'Halved and Quartered Edit Pack'. An edit pack consisting of 3 edits that use familiar acapellas, stems and samples being played at one half or one fourth the original speed. By stretching these samples Victor Metske uncovers unintentional nuances that he recontextualizes in these dark, percussive tracks.

“Once a hyperactive soul lost at sea, surrounded by different sounds and scenes - Victor Metske has found a direction that perfectly mirrors his own restlessness and need for change while upholding the things that he has loved in the past. A form of dark festivity lingers between the notes and glitchy drum patterns to create a sense of homecoming.”
