Beep Tzt - Split

With a fair amount of pride, Warning presents the debut EP of emerging artist JCow. Four fresh cuts that will stand the test of time. Opening with high energetic roller Magma on the A side, accompanied by Purity of Spirit, an uplifting basement Rave anthem. On the flip things get more twisted with Groove Ryder, a melange of funky Breakz, Trance and Trip-Hop. The Acid Fiend Mix of formerly digitally released Rave Patrol is completing this record with an overboarding composition of drums and JCow’s own guitar. 

WAR1204 will be out on the 25th of March 2022

As the weekend approached, the anticipation of the activities that would soon ensue began to take over. For 48 hours, there would be no mention of work, no thoughts of the daily responsibilities that came with it, only freedom mattered, and they were going to take advantage of every single moment. The club was the destination, a place to escape the outside world. When they descended down those stairs and into the darkness, they knew they'd never want to leave.

Roy Mills launched his Local Knowledge label, as a platform to celebrate community and club culture, towards the end of September 2020 and since then he's welcomed Hed Ardennes for an EP and a slew of artists for a charity compilation. Now, following appearances on Room II Records, Pressure Dome and Elkka’s femme culture, he takes care of the third release on the imprint with three tracks aimed to be played at different times in the club. From intricate drum patterns and hypnotic bass lines to off kilter percussion and meticulous sound design, the EP demonstrates Roy's knack for capturing different moods and feelings, whilst saluting the thrill of clubland.

08. Breakdata - Bass City Roller [Digital Distortions]

SF’s Pteron returns to Ommaya Records following last year’s split EP Egosphere with kk.Shucko, offering an immense excavation of tension and rhythmic mystery on Alpheratz. The opening’s quiet pull intensifies until it parts like a veil, revealing a meticulously sculpted deep-space landscape. “Che” and “Outer Orbit” push deeper into fog-laden percussive interplay, perfectly suited to a Bay Area warehouse. "Face Off" delivers sharp-edged, gritty bass manipulations and rhythmic shards that feel crafted for techno wayfarers in pursuit of the ever-elusive drop.

Remixes arrive from Brooklyn’s Sobolik, key member of Kindergarten Records and All Centre, and SF scene staple Oso Feo of Sutro FM, each reframing the EP for distinct underground territories. Sobolik’s take on “Alpheratz” channels the original’s tension into shimmering polyrhythms and expansive synthwork, opening the track into a luminous, trance-adjacent space, while Oso Feo’s remix of “Face Off” strips it into a low-slung, slow-burning roller that hums with restrained intensity, tailor-made for dawn-lit dance floors.

Tammo - It Is Not Entirely (Straightforward) - Nous'klaer Summer Sampler '19

The night was cold and dark as he skipped through an electronic maze of obscure shapes and patterns. This was his journey into digital sleep, a realm in which all things were unseen and built solely from pixels and flickering electronics. The world around him was not physical but virtual and as he dreamt in the darkness he began to shake and shuffle beneath the strain of the bright flashing lights which illuminated this fantasy world. Where was he? How had he got here? 

UNPOSED is a record label based in Germany, run by MSJY the imprint releases futuristic, experimental, electronic music with post modern tendencies. They have just announced a new compilation in aid of those under threat by the Yemen food crisis with all profits being donated. This track from the release is by Paz Shina.
