Fraxinus - Position [Displacement]
Label: Powerplant
Catalog #: POW1R
Format: 12” Vinyl & Digital Data
Release Date: 05/11/21

Pre-order: www.powerplant.link

Fraxinus emerges from temporary suspension with a monolithic 6-track offering on his new self-release label Powerplant. This is his debut EP Position [Displacement], carved from a solid block of Devonian granite.

After a 4-year dormancy, the Amsterdam-based artist returns with a 30 minute transmission of earth-shaking kick drums, thunderous percussion and razor-sharp sound design. The label’s inaugural release simultaneously marks the first proper outing for the artist, following a run of compilation features & special edition vinyl excursions dating back to 2014.

Position [Displacement] is a journey of divergent moods & cadences, from the wistful flutes of opener 'Overland' to final track 'Laced'’s uncompromising arpeggios. Billowing melodies & piercing stabs run in tandem with a pummelling & steppy rhythm section; 'Source Code' builds steadily, paving the way for 'Pass One'’s warehouse-ready assault. The blooming, fluorescent synths of '115 (Kondo)' — named for the mythical Amsterdam club — create a mid-way moment of euphoria, before 'Larch' marches on with its clattering drums.

The tracks clearly contain DNA from Fraxinus’ foundations with the Her Records cohort — lean, direct & forward-thinking. This time around the aesthetic is more focused, transferred to techno schematics but veering away from 4/4 fare. The sonics have been compacted into dense slabs of energy, primed for soundsystem dispatch.

Wholly original, crafted with precision; Position [Displacement] serves as a powerful statement of intent for both artist & label.

In the quiet waters of a pond, tiny green spheres float each with a cluster of cells working together in perfect harmony. This is Volvox, a simple multicellular algae organism, nurturing new colonies in its heart, waiting to grow and flourish. Similarly, in the vibrant skateboarding and music scene of French-speaking Switzerland, a young producer named Dimosoundz emerged from within a tight-knit community. Like the Volvox, he absorbed the influences around him, growing his own creative voice from the heart of this dynamic environment. This premise, both visually and sonically representative, marks the release before you.

Dimosoundz is the creative force behind Dimitri Roulin, embodying his musical ethos by fusing personal influences into a rhythmic experience grounded in his passion for bass-heavy music. Although his background as a breakdancer served a subconscious basis towards his current signature style, his journey as a producer began with a unique academic project that merged skateboarding, electronic and sampled sounds. From being deeply rooted in the Romandy skate scene is where he discovered 90s jungle and related sister genres, drawing inspiration from the community’s emphasis on autonomy, support, and authenticity which cemented the release before you.

Much like his lifelong fascination with water and its mysterious underworld, Dimosoundz explores vast, unknown realms in his music through obscure samples and non-musical elements whilst infusing his work with a playful, exploratory spirit. For him, music, skateboarding and underwater exploration are paths of creativity and discovery—parallel journeys of digging beneath the surface to find something new. Though seemingly fresh out of the water but already making waves within the Helvetian scene, Dimosoundz brings an original perspective, blending his unique experiences into a sound distinctly his own.

Sindicate - Echoes Of The Machine

PROTOTYPES Vol. 3 — a new wave of experiments from Paperfunk Recordings

The third-generation capsules are opening. Inside lies a fusion of ideas conceived within the walls of the Neuropunk Academy and tempered in the laboratories of rhythm. Under the bass microscope and within the sequencer grids, fresh forms of sound are being born — prototypes ready to break free from their blueprints and speak the language of the dancefloor.

Curated by Paperclip, Menfort (Gydra) and NERV3 — three seasoned architects of sound who have combined their experience and taste to guide the participants through every stage of track creation, from the very first ideas to fully armed club weapons.

Inside PROTOTYPES Vol. 3 you’ll find:

Bass constructions with mutation effects — lines that change shape in real time, like a living organism under a microscope.

Rhythmic fractures — grooves that shatter predictability and make your body react on instinct.

Technoid filigree — every detail of each track sharpened down to the millisecond, yet still breathing with the creator’s energy.

This compilation is a proving ground where a new generation of drum & bass producers put their sonic machines to the test under full dancefloor combat conditions. Different approaches, unique voices, one shared drive for a breakthrough.

PROTOTYPES Vol. 3 — a test drive of the future, and you’ve got the ticket right now.

Not Pinky - Clockwork Heart

Collection of tunes made over the last little bit that delve into Drum & Bass, Dubstep, & Bassline with elements of UK Funky House and Roller genres.
