Exclusive: J.Wiltshire - Living In The IDE

Berlin's not so socially awkward label Awkwardly Social drums up label affiliates for the third installment to deliver four artistically rich and diverse takes. Besides Lårry, who was responsible for the label's second release, the EP also features tracks from Yushh, Pugilist and Jacob Wiltshire. The UK-producer, who entered the scene with a release on Hypercolour, now (co-) runs not only his own label Super Hexagon, but can already look back at a release on MUSAR among others. With Living In The IDE Wiltshire musically remains true to himself as he comes up with a rather spheric almost cinematic ambient take whose power becomes evident if you let yourself in for this experience of sounds interacting with each other under the umbrella of a contemporary piece of musical art. Wiltshire perfectly and almost mosaic-like puzzles the sounds together to create the track title suggested IDE or rather makes the inner workings of it visible or hearable for an audience.

Awkwardly Social's V/A EP will be released on October 15th, 2021.

J.Wiltshire - Luv44 [MUSAR016]
Limited 12'' edition transparent crystal vinyl (150 copies) in a PVC sleeve with inner printed artwork.

a1. Luv44
a2. The Number Counters (Konx-om-Pax Remix)
b1. The Number Counters
b2. Trails

UK-born, Berlin-based, J.Wiltshire (Hypercolour/Super Hexagon) returns to MUSAR for a deep excursion with Planet Mu's Konx-om-Pax on remix duties.

The tracks came to fruition in Berlin during a time in society when everything was closed and there was a huge layer of uncertainty across the globe. "I was channelling my interest in the introspective side of trance and finding comfort in what I was creating. It was sort of like going back to using processes from when I first started making dance music."

With three original tracks on the EP, 'Luv 44' opens the EP with a pulsating boom-bap groove and atmospheric synth work via acidic licks from the SH-101. 'The Number Counters' boasts sporadic analogue delay with white-noise snare drums and haunting ostinatos. 'Trails' is a welcoming, sluggish roller that chugs into oblivion, making for an idyllic warm-up excerpt for the club.

On remix duties, special guest Konx-om-Pax is summoned to bring his own interpretation of 'The Number Counters'. As an artist, you may recognise Konx-om-Pax’s visuals for Warp, Mogwai, Underground Resistance, Oneohtrix Point Never, Hyperdub, Advanced Beauty and LuckyMe. Oftentimes when turning his hand to production, the Planet Mu signee develops the original elements and pushes them into new territory via a host of analogue effects chains. Among the mix is a hypnotic and continual breakbeat that dips in and out dynamically, plus a host of improvised effects that sporadically paint over the mix like a beautiful and chaotic tapestry.

PREMIERE: J.Wiltshire - The Number Counters

The place was a ghost town; shop fronts were boarded up, rubbish littered the roads and barely a soul could be seen walking the streets. Society had come to a standstill and many obsessed over its return. Normality as they knew it was skewed and their sense of time warped. Now comfort and safety could only be found indoors; adjustments had to be made, every day life had to change.

Hypercolour affiliate and Super Hexagon boss made his debut on Amsterdam-based imprint MUSAR back in May last year with his first ever long player, 'Resa'. In contrast to this release, his newest outing for the label stretches beyond the immersive soundscapes heard on Resa and into the depths of trance, electro and acid.

Backed up by a remix from Planet Mu alumni, producer and visual artist Konx Om Pax, the three original tracks on 'Luv 44' still retain that introspective feel even though they're largely aimed at the dancefloor. Created during the pandemic when society came to a halt, the tracks channel J.Wiltshire's 'interest in the introspective side of trance', and represent a space he felt comfortable creating in at the time.

Our label is back and it’s back with a bang! For the first time ever featuring 6 tracks on one release, we’re delighted to present Azemad’s “Afriki“ EP.

Showcasing his broad range of influences and massive talent for melodic arrangements, the Berlin-based Egyptian producer and vocalist offers a record that is as wide ranging in style as it is evocative and emotionally intelligent.

Festive tribal drums meet moody rap verses, fat bouncy bass lines and dubbed out chords on this wonderful musical melting pot on wax.

Whether you’re in a Mahragan or Mawal spirit, Azemad caters for all needs and occasions, last but not least with the friendly help and assistance of J.Wiltshire’s beautiful, aquatic bubbler of a remix on the flip.

AWK004 intends to surface in autumn 2022, so keep your eyes and ears peeled. Thanks and much luv for the support as always!

Berlin-based vocalist and producer J. Wiltshire crafts his own enchanting brand of ambient, electro and breakbeat techno which has come through on releases for Hypercolour, Musar Recordings and Black Orpheus.

He's also one of the minds behind Super Hexagon, the Leeds-based label that was spawned out of the club night of the same name. Now their focus is firmly on releases, and since its inception four years ago it's been a platform for both J. Wiltshire and fellow co-founder Alma Construct to share their own music, as well as instalments from the likes of Aldrich, FFT and Lårry.

Following a return to Musar earlier this year with his Resa EP, he steps up for this week's Ransom Note mix, bringing a taste of the influences that steer his own production...
