Releases

No doubt about it, HypeLTD are on a bit of a roll at the moment; recent releases from the likes of JoeFarr, The Analogue Cops and Marco Bernardi have helped shape the Hypercolour sub-label into a consistent purveyor of raw and rootsy techno music.

On the ‘Split’ EP, various artists are assembled to flex their prowess, namely Warlock, Zoé Zoe & Enoah Ballard and Samuel Thalmann.

Opening up the EP is Warlock, the driving force behind London’s Rag & Bone label.  This seasoned British breaks and electro producer offers up ‘Sawhorses’, a weighty 909 kick and incessant, filtering stabs give this an air of familiarity, Berlin in sound, Detroit in spirit perhaps, but a straight up club cut for certain.  A proper jacker, and an ace reverse edit right on the end!

Lithuanian brothers, Zoé Zoe & Enoah Ballard, team up for the ‘1234’.  Zoé Zoe has been behind previous releases on Planet Mu and Sneaker Social Club, and joins his sibling on this dark and ravey breakbeat driven track.  The kind of cut that separates the wheat from the chaff come closing time at your local discothèque, ‘1234’ is both eerie, cosmic and flat out deep all at once.  

Closing this ‘Split’ EP is Samuel Thalmann AKA Okain, a man behind an incredible musical CV, including music for Tsuba, BPitch, Memento, Four:Twenty and many more.  Samuel offers up ‘Not Anymore’ under his birth name, a blinding 909 drum workout with some freaky Chi-town modulations goin on.  Almost like a perfect accompaniment to Warlock’s ‘Sawhorses’, this is simple yet effective dance track that’ll have ‘em jackin and pumping their fists til dawn.

Fat Hop 007 : Itsu Uno / Han Do Jin [Previews]

Proving that experience doesn’t mean repeating ideas, real-deal UK underground legend Warlock comes strafing into the PM+ series with some wild new styles for your hard-jacking pleasure. As Warlock, Jason Alexander has been pushing his own deep-rooted take on rave since the 90s with a particular slant towards electro, breaks and bass, but his pirate radio credentials reach back to the late 80s when it was all kicking off. 

Warlock would get a pass for just sticking to the squat-friendly, moody n’ mischievous gear he’s rolled out for years - it’s consistently excellent, after all. But here he demonstrates a razor-sharp sidestep into modernist forms which take the premise of bass and bleeps into fresh rhythmical territory. 

From the pointillist arps and nimble drum machine flaring of ‘Stinger’ to the brutally managed bass throb and spine-tingling high frequency ticklers of ‘Rush Rush’, Warlock’s gutsy sound passes through a measured amount of minimalism, nodding in the skittering patterns to footwork futurism and yet still sounding wholly schooled in the dimly lit, graffiti-caked climes of parties on the fringes of society. The unique spot where Alexander lands this fresh approach is right in the orbit of PM+ - an alarmingly natural fit for such brilliantly unnatural music.

Here's a very sneaky peak at a remix I've just finished of one of my all time favourite old skool tracks from the mighty Nebula II. 

Part of a very exciting remix package due out in the near future, more details to come.

NEBULA II - Atheama (Warlock's Acid Re-Trip) forthcoming

"Warlock’s Slow Violence EP features 4 sleek club focused rhythmic experiments, masterfully crafted in his South London studio; they display a knowledge and restraint that only someone with his exhaustive knowledge and background in underground sonics can wield. 

Each track has the relentless drive of London’s warehouse rave scene at its back, juxtaposed with the space and raw sub-frequency power often found in the worlds of dubstep and bass music.

This juxtaposition fits perfectly into Flightpath’s catalog, which is constantly pushing at the boundaries between the sounds of the underground.

The EP will be released as a digital download. available from Flightpathaudio.bandcamp.com, shops and streaming platforms, visual design by Offworld Studio LTD." - Flightpath Records

Metro Jaxx Volume One [preview clips]

Brand new release from Warlock who has been busy working in the studio. In true Rag & Bone tradition it's a mash up of different strains of bass music, taking in grime and funky and twisting it up with a corrupted edge.

Final Blow - Warlock

36 No Show - Warlock

New vinyl only four-track acid EP out on Kalbata's Brush & Broom label. 

As the press release says....
"Ex-amount of jaw-grind action.  "Violent Rays" and "Swearings" are both straight-up warehouse workouts, comfortably placed next to reflective after-hour gushers "Run DC" and "Cave Tone". Once again, Warlock demonstrates stunning crisp production, touched by old-school heritage, dating back to pre-94 legislation times. Essential."

Format: 180 gram vinyl 12"
Cat: BNB 004
Released: 01 Jul 19

Violent Rays

Violent Rays EP (Brush & Broom Records BNB004)

"Welcome return from the 'ardcore London stalwart, now dealing in hyper-fused dubstep and footwork. With 'Bad Boy' he craftily encodes the rhythmic helixes of triplet 'step dynamics and percolating juke in ruffneck form, while 'Pocket Dancing' treats the body to fibrillating, centrifugal footwork torque slashed by darkside mentasms, and 'Ghetto People' goes on raw with hi-speed bass flux and strobing old-skool house stabs. Wicked!" - Boomkat Nov 2012


Warlock - Bad Boy

To coincide with the release I have out this week, here's a freebie in a similar vein. No prizes for guessing where the inspiration came from, a bit naughty I know, but couldn't resist ;)
