BATUQUE is the rawest form of the expressivity, where human relations were formed and all that was felt was passed on accurately. The speech couldn't find words but the explosiveness of the sound echoes in the silence and touches us in an inexplicable way. In this EP São Paulo's Vazquez exposes his expectations in search of collective responses, just like the fishermen who hit the boats in hopes that the fish would jump in.

After the collaboration with DJ Durbin on 'Can't You Tell' Manu is back as MNL to release his first solo EP. He mangles the sounds and rhythms of his surroundings without limits and builds his own bittersweet world from them. Hodge's remix turns the track 'I Don't Know What I Want' into a ukg-esque dancefloor killer.

Tracklist: 

A1: MNL - I Don't Know What I Want
A2: MNL - Longing For Distance
B1: MNL - When I Think Of The Barrier
B2: MNL - I Don't Know What I Want (Hodge Remix)

PREMIERE: MNL - When I Think Of The Barrier [Row Records]

Meandering between the back streets of nowhere there was little signposting which might act as a guide for escape. He had been trying for as long as he could remember to leave this town but it always found a way of pulling him back in when he least expected it. Out here in the midst of the woodand there was little but for the falling snow and the little huts which huddled together beneath dense green trees. This was his village, where he was born and where he would die. Only in snow it seemed he would live. 

La Fe is a collaboration between Daniel Rincon of Ambien Baby/ NAP and Michael Red of Souns. Together they have collaborated to produce an EP with dub leaning tendencies. Weirdo electronics and hazy soundscapes weave atop reggaeton percussion and the rumble of drums.

Briain — E-FAX004 (Snippets)

After 5 years of 'Fortnightly Freebies' columns collating our favourite free downloads, we decided to do things a bit differently for the 100th chapter. Introducing 'Big Material', a 19-track 'name your price' compilation that will donate 100% of profits made to Stonewall Housing, a London-based charity supporting some of the most marginalised and vulnerable in our society.

At a time when unfair austerity is increasing inequality and leaving so many behind, we hope to support a community that has given so much to the 'scene' and music we love. Digi-dub abstractions and drifting ambient to kaleidoscopic breaks and newly-coined genre, 'subtle donk', it's a pretty accurate microcosm of the If-Only curation as a whole.

Big Material pulls together music from some of If-Only's favourite artists, with tracks from @apsychicyes, @riveryarra, Material Things (@12th-isle), @priori-ties, @nicholaswilson1982 & @steviewhisper, @benoitb, @maxabysmal, @58daniel, @bogdan-drazic, @whyesss, @twitch, @warzouk, @thomasbakk, @eyemeasure, @rdjm0, @furiousfrank, Moonphase (AKA @cl_lit), @moonbowmusic and @aki-aki.

--------------

Soft and calm, we, like light
fray into gentle chaos.
Big material unfurls
Then turns to collect, reform –
Like breaths, draw in
To new poise and structure;
Solid and slow.
Never still. Glacial.

Think back, before
A piece of things,
Moving alone, once a part –
But when is the fragment
not the whole?
When is the whole not the whole?
The salt which made the chalk
Which made the cliff
Which made the slate -

Hard to see,
Once a part and still, we are,
A piece of something else.

--------------
All profits go to Stonewall Housing, a London-based charity working to ensure lesbian, gay, bisexual and trans people live in safer homes, free from fear, where they can celebrate their identity and support each other to achieve their full potential.

BWS013: Estebahn - Circular System (Previews)

Growing up in Milton Keynes, the largest of the "new towns" outside of London designed and built in the 1960s, perhaps explains why producer Nicholas Worrall is subconsciously drawn to clearly delineated sonic structures and flawed techno utopianism, two concepts that are ever present in both his sound and aesthetic approach to music.

Wordcolour (@wordcolour) was formed just two years ago, at a time when Worrall was habitually cutting up and splicing human voice samples ripped from YouTube memes, film dialogues and musique concrète tapes.

The first artistic demonstration of these ideas arrived in 2019 via his mixtape “I Want To Tell You Something” for the Blowing Up The Workshop platform. This unique set immediately grabbed the attention and support of the specialized music press and media, including Pitchfork and Resident Advisor.

“Tell Me Something” is Wordcolour’s official debut EP and heads straight for the dance floor. It is comprised of an unusual melting pot of influences that fuse the UK club sound, post-dubstep and a style akin to Paul Lansky's ‘90s musique concrète. “Tell Me Something” offers a vibrant leftfield, avant-garde techno and edgy electro, all immersed in the vast cosmos of the human voice.

“Tell Me Something” will be released at the end of July on vinyl and all digital formats. Reserve your copy now at www.lapsusrecords.cat.
