Overtime at the office. Smile. Co-workers talk behind your back.

Lixer and Splash Soldier Splendid mumble, scream and narrate the 9-5 routine.

Tales of class issues and discrimination are being force-fed through arcade- and cotton candy machines. Kermis.

Their voices glide and sink into oversaturated soundscapes of daily news, empty words, and bland, oily meals.

Violently sweet, sonic patchworks of life in the matrix emerge.

The government watches.

[Circling the Monopoly Board]

A rollercoaster rides through your friendly neighbourhood. All is well. > Barrel roll onto the flipside of trimmed front yards, picket fences and social niceties. Beware of the dog.

£​$​₿ navigate through toxic environments. Camouflaged with masculinity, blending into the shadows, secretly scanning their allies through the checkout. Surveilled. Before they disappear into the feed we catch a glimpse of their sensitive selves.

Lia Call - How to Do a Gamer Girl Voice (galen tipton remix)

BRUK is a new platform for fresh variations on the soundsystem ethic, in particular where high-end sound design intersects with formidable bassweight. It’s an artist-focused endeavour geared towards producers with range, depth and ingenuity in their sound.
 
The first transmission comes from FFT, the latest alias from accomplished producer Josh Thompson. Thompson established the Super Hexagon label with long time friends J. Wiltshire and Arthur Scott-Geddes and he’s also released on heritage label R&S (as Alma Construct) and the excellent offbeat techno upstarts Power Vacuum, and more recently developed the FFT moniker via essential drops on The Trilogy Tapes as well as Super Hexagon. Thompson helps launch BRUK with a two-pronged attack  that shows off the breadth of his artistic scope. The lead 12” is a dynamic club release that pivots between razor-sharp drum programming, hyphy synth acrobatics, breakbeat science and dub-loaded atmospheres. If there’s one constant that runs through all Thompson’s work, it’s a resounding confidence with melody, and that comes through even in the rowdy chops of “Month” – a track that exudes hope even in its gnarliest bars. From the dreadweight minimalism of “Fask” to the expansive electronica shock out of “Sacrifice (The Truth Mix)”, this is a head-twisting release that feeds into the vital new energy reverberating around the 150+ axis.
 
Accompanying that 12” is a cassette album which provides that polar opposite side to FFT – a collection of compelling beatless ruminations under the banner of Total Self-Fulfilment. Gliding from low frequency industrial textures to expressive synth modulation, this is far from static music, even as it moves without the aid of a traditional rhythm section.
 
It’s a strong first chapter for BRUK, with future releases lined up from artists similarly poking at the fabric of contemporary club music to find their own unique spaces for expression.

Rare Plastic w/ Israfil and Tomu DJ

Artist: @laughingears
Catalogue Number: IM086
Album: Blood
Release Date: February 26th, 2021
Format: Digital

Laughing Ears is poised to release her second LP this January via club music vanguards, Infinite Machine. Her lengthiest offering to date, Blood consists of 10 tracks that highlight Laughing Ears’s knack for building otherworldly atmospherics within club-ready, dance music structures. Taking the tale of Fenrir as it’s starting point, (a giant wolf in Norse mythology who spent much of his life bound and chained to a rock in captivity), the album conceptually deals with family ties and the melancholic beauty that can be found in the darkness of loss.

Blood opens with the airy, gliding synths and heavy drumwork of Flickering Shadows. The track has a unique sense of space due its wide stereo-imaging as well as Laughing Ears’ haunting melodies and driving rhythms. A 100bpm creeper fit for exploring uncharted virtual lands. On the following track, Loki, things are stripped back to their functional essentials. Tabla hits, bass pluses and strange whistles brush up against each other in a head-spinning assemblage before surging towards a climactic resolution.

The serene Untouched Places showcases Laughing Ears’ unique approach to melody and harmony. With a background in singing herself, her synths lines here seem to tonally intertwine, like vocal DNA, veering from harmonious and dissonant phases. Compared to the tranquility of Untouched Places, LP title-track, Blood, moves the record in a more intense direction. A brick wall of compressed percussion and humanoid-sung samples seem to battle it out for the listener’s attention in an enthralling sonic confrontation.

On Blood’s mid-point, Night Whisps, the producer’s love for the thrilling soundtracks of Satoshi Kon’s anime movies definitely comes through clearly. Bass drones claustrophobically reverberate around the mix - acting as a musical backbone that a wide array of staccato samples are stitched onto. Next up, Murderous Means, as its blood-thirsty title suggests, is a brutal and hard-hitting club track that’ll keep listeners guessing as the composition twists and turns. The song’s furious, ever-evolving drum patterns create mesmerizing rhythms you can’t help but bob your head to.

The polyrhythms continue on the following piece, Buona Fortuna. Like footwork, a genre she looks to for inspiration, on Buona Fortuna, the main groove is built out of a disparate family of drum samples which work in tandem - much like how individual dots of an Impressionist painting cooperate to form a single, concrete image. Laughing Ears then slows things down slightly with Glimmer, which sees the producer mix the low end stylings of UK Funky with strung out horns and gong hits.

On Potcheen, the longest of the record, Laughing Ears ambitiously constructs a track that starts from curious, ambient beginnings before morphing into a ferocious footwork-infused banger. Rounding off the release, Warm as A Lizard is a groove-laided drum freakout, crammed full of dense textures which build into a tonal fever pitch.
