CNP017 • 'Mike Cheque / Greaze' - @slolek

OUT NOW: https://canape-records.bandcamp.com/album/mike-cheque-greaze

"We are thrilled to welcome South East London's Slolek to the Canapé family, with this carnal double-track debut. Having operated under various guises in recent years, CNP017 sees the British DJ/Producer hone his unique strain of cavernous mutant techno, sure to bless countless soundsystems in the months to come.

A-side 'Mike Cheque' showcases a true melting pot of UK underground influences: Slolek's irresistible UKG lilt is thickened with Electro backbeat girth and a grimey sub-line that absolutely screams for a gunfinger.

'Greaze' continues our journey into techno swampland, as haunting vocal hits and churning breakbeats are underpinned by (perhaps) the dirtiest kick of 2021."

Written, produced and mixed by Slolek.
Mastered by Charlie Stork at Canapé HQ.

A lot has happened since Fixate released his last full length record, ‘What Goes Around’, on Exit Records in 2017. After putting out two Bandcamp EPs (‘Glare’ & ‘Confusion’) and several remixes—including his ‘Ripgroove Refix’, which famously went viral on Sherelle’s 2019 Boiler Room set and was eventually released as official remix on Ice Cream Records—he now presents his self-titled debut album ‘Fixate’.

Developed over five years, the project showcases Fixate’s sound palette in all its variety, a diversity of taste that’s reflected in his supporters: he’s garnered attention from icons like Andy C, Goldie, and Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs, as well as underground tastemakers like Call Super, Toddla T, and Skee Mask. Ross From Friends closed off his 2020 Room Isolation set with Fixate’s breaky acid number ‘On Edge’; Sicaria Sound spun the dub-influenced album opener ‘Ruminate’ in their sets; and Madam X had sub-heavy track ‘Gristle’ doing the rounds.

PREMIERE: Fixate - Gristle [Exit Records]

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.

DRUMSKULL / MANI FESTO
PHASE VELOCITY EP (DSSR090)

01 Drumskull - Phase Velocity (Original Mix)
02 Mani Festo - Hours (Original Mix)
03 Drumskull - Phase Velocity (Mani Festo Remix)
04 Mani Festo - Hours (Drumskull Remix)

Hot off dropping an EP on Hooversound, East London DJ and producer Drumskull launches his own eponymous label with a double-header featuring Club Glow co-founder Mani Festo.

The four-tracker includes an original from each producer – both tracks previously released on Seagrave before it closed its doors last year, taking its back catalogue with it. With these reissued versions remastered, each producer then remixes the other for a fresh, new take.

Drumskull's 'Phase Velocity' displays the same genre fluidity highlighted on 2020's debut album 'Interlocked'. Starting out with a footwork stutter, lush chords floating over booming 808s, the vibe evolves, rolling breaks adding in a jungle intensity. Mani Festo reconstructs this for 140 floors, his club kick pattern providing the bounce as flanging, time-stretched breakbeats keep it rooted in the hardcore continuum.

Mani Festo, aka South East London DJ, producer and graphic artist, Nick Marks, has previously appeared on labels such as Rupture, E-Beamz, Sneaker Social Club and Club Glow, which he runs with LMajor, Borai and Denham Audio. 'Hours' highlights his background in drum and bass, rude basslines running under techy, metallic breaks. Reduced down to 135 by Drumskull, deep, deadly subs and bumpy, swung drums focus it into a dark, shuffling groove.

Combining two of the leading lights from the new wave of breakbeat music, the Phase Velocity EP is released digitally on Friday 24th March 2023 with a limited run of lathe cuts available via the launch party at Planet Wax in London on the same date and to follow on Bandcamp.
