PRE ORDER - https://sneakersocialclub.bandcamp.com/album/halcyon-daze

Through a misty, nostalgic lens of long days and nights lost in front of sound systems, Soundbwoy Killah delivers his much anticipated debut album to Sneaker Social Club. True to previous drops on this and other labels, this is rave romanticism with a bite, as much viewing the good old days with a wry smile as longing for their return. Just listen to the opening strains of “Escape Velocity,” as the MC manages a sticky situation and tries to keep cool while sending the crowd on their way “in an orderly fashion.” 

As much as hardcore, jungle, acid, techno and house inform Halcyon Daze, the sonic signifiers of that ‘golden era’ of rave culture are bedded in a poignant, reflective shroud. From lingering pads to distant, reverb drenched vocal snatches, a hint of melancholy hovers over these scattered but vivid memory triggers. Reese bass has never reverberated so deep, sirens never sounded so lost at sea. 

The real art in Soundbwoy Killah’s craft lies in the juxtaposition between these languid, introspective elements and bright, sharply rendered arcs of sound that bring the music right into the foreground. This isn’t a pure exercise in nostalgia – stripped of their aggressive armour plating, a lot of these familiar elements take on a new expressive identity. Whether it’s the strafing arps in “Tom Loves To Rave,” or softly nudging the rolling breaks of “Under The Influence” into a downtempo, chill-out room headspace, Halcyon Daze proves how much mileage there still is in these battle-scarred sonic tools. 

It’s not all one-dimensionally downcast either – “Heartbeats” is a rude n’ ruff celebration of amen choppage, while “Wanna Hold U” channels the ghost of UK garage with one eye cast back to its US house roots. “All Night Long” finishes the record on a charging high, all tightly clipped tech step beats and bright synths that cast their gaze ahead with optimism. The themes of lost love and fuzzy memories echo throughout Halcyon Daze, but rather than wallowing in the past, this open-ended finishing move springs forward with purpose. One gets the feeling there’s plenty more to come from Soundbwoy Killah.

Future Primitive EP

First Listen: Zodiac Childs - 'Future Primitive' (Zodiac Wax)

Artist: Otik
Title: Blasphemy
Cat. No.: BOOGIE007
Release Date: December 6 2019

Following on from Caldera’s 13 17 EP, Boogie Box invites Otik to the fold for an excursion into fresh and vibrant club music unbound by genre. London-based producer Ashley Thomas is perfectly aligned with the Boogie Box’s desire for unconventional angles on dancefloor-focused sounds with bassweight tendencies, and his ever-growing back catalogue proves the point via releases for the likes of Nous, Keysound and Durkle Disco. 

The EP opens with Blasphemy, a heads-down workout that exercises restraint as it tunnels into its groove. Otik’s attention to detail is plain to hear, as side-chained harmonic textures and processed voices pivot around the snaking rhythm of the drums, but the overall effect is subliminal and meditative. Unshut is twitchier from the outset, using bright swipes of chord and a wriggling bed of sound to shape out the personality of the track. Once again the dynamics of the track are executed with a cool head, using inventive approaches and conjuring up a fractured, nostalgic atmosphere in the process. 

Four Feet immediately strikes for the heart with its front and centre synths and re-pitched vocals. The beat is just as striking when it locks in – a tumbling, intricate construction made up of tiny shards of organic matter falling in loose but purposeful unison. Metrist, fresh from a recent drop on Timedance, steps up with a remix of Four Feet that does away with the emotive elements and instead opts for a future-shocking trip into pure electronica. Largely drawing on the complex percussion, Metrist uses those clattering textures as a springboard into chemically-treated sound design acrobatics and leftfield rave energy. 

Both the originals and remix alike opt for inventive creative decisions over dancefloor functionality, but never at the expense of the club potential of the resulting tracks. This is music that positively celebrates the breaking down of barriers, taking the notion of dance music somewhere exciting and new, but importantly somewhere it still bangs.
