Vadim Dess X Slava Animado - Back Into Fire

Local Group roll through with a rave and hardcore inspired 4-tracker - Big Beats Are The Best!

‘Rhythmic Trip’ is an emotional, breaksy number; meandering out of dark tones and patterns and into large vocal samples and uplifting odes to classic hardcore. 
Netil Radio resident Angel D’lite comes through in style with a wicked 150bpm lovecore remix of the Local Group original.

‘Watch This Beat’ nods to the right side of happy hardcore - its chipmunk vocals, ravey piano stabs and snappy breakbeats providing plenty of gun-finger induced, rush-in-the-rave moments - before ‘Work That Thing’ closes the door with a scratch-sampled cut of electro that sounds like it was taken from the middle of a Jerome Hill set.

1ØPILLS019 // Local Group - Big Beats Are The Best

San Francisco based DJ and bass extraordinaire Farsight knows how to make an entrance, first bursting onto the scene with his adventurous and daring EP ‘Wisdom’ back in 2016. At the time Farsight's music sounded like it had been beamed from another planet and has played an important role in the cross-pollination of genres we’ve seen in recent years. Farsight has gone on to release on Scuffed Recordings, Maloca and Noire State, remaining firmly fixed on the future of club music. Now his blend of trap, jersey club, reggaeton and dancehall makes its way across the Atlantic with six mind-sizzling cuts for Brakes ‘N’ Pieces vol. 23.

Opening track ‘Triangulation’ combines rolling drums with party-starting vocal samples and steady whistles, letting listeners know we’re really off! ‘Mr Right’ then enters the fray with throbbing subs, ravey stabs and a vocal that sits halfway between fun and outright menacing. The A side comes to a close with ‘Leaving Las Vegas’ a dubstep infused cut of choppy breaks and wide-eyed melodies. A masterclass in raising tension, this track will shut down any club, please use wisely. 

‘Lesser Light’ shows Farsight’s love for bass exploration; it’s looming shadow pressing amongst some of the darkest corners of electronic. A unique brand of grime infused techno. ‘Water Margin’ delves even further, adopting a more measured pace for those heads down moments. The record comes to a close with ‘Fulminous Edge’ and is a reflection of the artist’s darkest material. The drums still have a familiar spring in their step but the track’s melodic bassline is mesmerizing; resulting in a melancholy trance that deserves a second play.

Dawn Razor and Archetech, two friends and two-thirds of the once-active trio Sonnen Blumen Kerne, have collaborated to deliver an album of tracks previously released exclusively on vinyl through Dawn Razor’s NARA Records. When Lobster Theremin ceased operations, the stock of these releases was lost, leaving only brief preview snippets online.

Adam approached HOMAGE with the story and shared the tunes with us. Moved by the situation, we decided to release all of the tracks as a retrospective album. Thus, 'Half Life' was born—a collection of 10 tracks that blur the boundaries between slammin' electro, breakbeat, and mutated bass, all with a minimalist edge.

https://www.juno.co.uk/products/remotif-the-elevated-place-vinyl/974913-01/

Rising star Remotif returns to Especial with a full complement of his “trance fusion”, a modern-day ethnicity of breakbeat techno dance music. With releases on Coymix, and Space Lab, as well as soon appearing on the cult label Avidya, plus a burgeoning DJ career from Fabric to Berlin’s seminal Warning parties, his time and space is now.

A standout inclusion on the last Especial sampler “Comunion Especial” (EES040) was a prescient to a pure natural ability to create hypnotic grooves. Part of the burgeoning Bristol scene Joe “Remotif” Reddick has steadily built a series of releases and admirers, a psychedelic swirl of bouncing beats, oscillating rhythms and trippy vox that capture a moment of merging zeitgeist.

Starting with U 15, this is prime time, jacking Remotif, where melody, samples, and beats angelate, stretch and absorb, almost devotional, but always engaging the feet and mind, a blissful science, daring shanti awakenings.

Deep and dripping, the organic ooze of Glint's Pursuit follows. Tribal percussion, shimmery timbres, siren vocals, the sharpness created by slowing the bpms giving oxygen to our experience. Rising, rising.

The Elevated Place sums much of Remotif’s music. His personal highs (and lows) encompassed via sound design. Acidic, nocturnal, skywards, the unquantifiable stream of emotion is in there, a very genuine capturing of a personal journey wrought from machines, translating into a musical form. The lost chord, the funk electric. Whichever, the drop ethereal, the breaks supertight, the hope unrelenting. An apt EP title.

The end (for now) an inverse to Joe’s universe. The space between, the afters, the dub, the mantra, nodding to Bristol’s music history, The Sunken Place is a groove-led, break-neck, trip-not, head-swinging, deftly-made electronic micro-symphony. From the 90s to the 20’s, San Francisco to Stroom, Remotif rides the signal.

B1. Remotif - The Elevated Place

Diogo is opening 2025 with a blast with “EXT038 - Saudades das Raves a que Não Fui...” (loosely translatable to "Lost Rave Nostalgia”)

These four tracks summon the golden-age of Rave culture in the early 90’s, where forward-thinking sounds and free parties tore down boundaries of class, culture and identity. An homage to a period where dance culture was at the centre of a radical social change, realising itself as a form of communal cultural resistance. Through these tracks, Diogo channels these dreams and his own desires to somehow have been a part of it all... Sampled Breaks, heavy basses and dance floor euphoria guaranteed!

The latest release for landmark label Lobster Theramin’s nostalgic futurist imprint Lobster UNDR, Jeals’ Scorpio Reservior is a four track electro power pack  ready to play.

Jeals proves the genre is formidable for club menace right away with the throbbing “Hague-based doom” filled A1 “Crash.” Rather than utilize the heavy kick prevalent in the work Australian electro mainstay Jensen Interceptor, Jeals finds power in the bass washed groove underneath it all to great effect. All bounce and no skitter, “Crash” is a mid tempo jaunt that’s low on the hi-hats and heavy on the groove and provides serious Goldeneye vibes. 

The descent kicks into gear with “Happening” as Jeals sound turns uptempo and floor ready smoothly. Making fantastic use of its sparse elements, “Happening” is more Luigi’s Mansion than Luigi’s castle, conjuring images of a demented grin before dissipating into the ectoplasm. 

The record’s flip side makes way for new sounds to varied success. “Finally” is a intriguing but simple ambient interlude that has apparently been used frequently by Lobster Theramin label boss Asquith as an ominous opening for his club sets. EP closer “XL” utilizes a 4/4 time signature and a heavy blunt kick to build a jumbled and slightly unnatural groove that struggles to justify itself amongst syncopated hi-hats and the occasional hand clap. For those looking to transition out of the electro world into something wonkier, “XL” could serve as a useful tool; a unique closing note to a diverse collection of club missiles.

five propulsive, space jams. Dropping 18th October, Otherworlds EP is cosmic Techno from the Montreal-based artist that will have you hooked! 

A3 offers broken-beats, bleeps and bloops - ‘Overstatement (Space Edit)’ is a dizzying brain-tickler. On the flip, B1’s ‘Social Compost’, is a tripped out, warehouse wobbler. Rounding out the EP with a final acid cut, ‘Thalassa’ (B2), nods to early Detroit machine music with extraterrestrial influence. A tip for digi buyers, you’ll find ‘Sentiment Analysis’ (B3), stripped back yet pacey, frantic machine music. 

Enter softcoresoft, the DJ, producer and cultural organiser has been whipping dancers up into a rave frenzy on the floor, and tickling our buds for some time now. The Discwoman affiliate co founded Humidex records, and has already featured on Truants, Boiler Room, and recently took part in 2019 RBMA Bass Camp in Calgary. One of the leaders of the Montreal underground, the Music Director of Never Apart, champions gender representation in music whilst hosting monthly show, Ravelength on Montréal-based radio station, n10.as. Traversing through acid, techno, electro, breaks and trance in DJ sets and live shows, Otherworlds EP is a beautifully crafted release that demonstrates her discerning ear for all that’s transcendental.

PREMIERE: Softcoresoft - Overstatement (Space Edit)

Today we have a premiere from Toronto based bad man Groves, reminds us why he has received an overwhelming amount of support by the likes of dBridge, Fracture, Skeptical, and Fixate. His remix of our fave rave king  Samurai Breaks' "Marathon" instantly makes you wish you where sweaty on a dance floor . Coming from a deep knowledge of audio theory, Groves’ music is powerful, raw, direct, and fresh while paying homage to his influences and the culture. 
His contribution to Sub Merchants 'Surrey Street' EP, is perfectly placed in its intention of exploring the contemporary evolution of jungle music. Included on the EP is a re-release of 3 singles by TMSV, Samurai Breaks, and THUGWIDOW, accompanied by remixes from Drumterror & B:Thorough, Groves and Fiesta Soundsystem.
Painting a picture of the jungle scene in 2020, ‘Surrey Street’ aesthetically pays homage to Croydon‘s roots within the scene, and features six sublime selections from some of the most exciting new names on the map over the past couple of years. You truly won’t find primer cuts this side of the River Thames.
