Woodland Creatures presents: 

◢sidehatch.

a new companion label for face melters ‘n rave belters, flipped tables ‘n white labels. 

stories we can’t quite fit on WLC, thumps, drones, DJ weapons, continued threads, interjections, addendums, non sequiturs.

Our second - well first traditional - drop out the ◢sidehatch. is Santa Fe based https://soundcloud.com/chandlerbaxtertipton ’s expansive LP “YICOLAS”. So much can be said about this record: this is frenetic drill n bass but groovy, juke adjacent, hip hop aware, experimental af pre/post/mid rave bangers. I’m reminded of an interview André 3000 did where he said of Squarepusher it was like someone had cracked a computer open and the tunes had leaked out. Or something like that.

I say expansive because over 19 tracks (but at a lean 45 minutes) tipton really gives us a broad taste of his ability, vision, and range. It’s really heartstopping stuff - often on the edge of overwhelming but then a gorgeous beach side cocktail sipping sample swoops in or some funky bit of beautiful synth lead craft reminds us we’re here to get down. 

Fans of Duran Duran Duran should have a lot to love here and in many ways this is a beautiful answer to this year’s “Supernatural Beast City” - but where that record takes cues from twinges of inner and outer darknesses, YICOLAS has little such shaded hues in its palette. These are vibrant broad stroke pastels, painted by a master who you have no business not knowing about.

Get involved, grab a refreshing bevvie, if it’s spiked a bit strong so be it, and come say hi to “YICOLAS”.

see you by the ◢sidehatch.

Hey this is Skwirl here to gab at you briefly about the records we have coming for our first thematic cluster! The theme is Circadian Rhythms and so as you might expect the records are presented to you by time of day. We have daylight, dusk, night and afterhours selections for you.

Tsodor is Theodor Striese (who is a lovely bright young tall lanky German guy and who is also absolutely hilarious and goofy and kindly and a true gent). Our “Night” record for Circadian Rhythms is proper dense and brooding, as is the night time really. This outstanding record was originally an EP but at some point I got greedy - no I felt a world enveloping me and…okay I got greedy and I very cheekily suggested "let's add more tunes to this actually". Theo kindly agreed - and thankfully so - because now it's a deep ass moody, dynamic, and genre hopping LP that has touches of minimal, deep house, frenetic eye watering potent bass music beats and beautiful melancholic excursions of delicate beauty. It’s a record of unfurling and blossoming - with each track reaching a moment of transcendence and then folding in on itself with grace and poignancy. This is top notch production mastery on display and a twisty high concept journey that is always more concerned with the groove than with pretentious loftiness. It’s a gorgeously haunting ride and one I couldn’t be more proud to have on Woodland Creatures.

Diffused Nocturne

It's wildly hard to write copy intimately about one's mental health without seemingly tumbling down a rabbit hole of virtue signaling, over explanation, or platitude. 

I hope this record made up of observations, experiences, and manifestations - as well as attempts to capture the visceral expressions - of my journey over the past decade or so finds others and allows them to feel seen. 

If nothing else to know that even if it's not okay, it's okay.

Hey this is Skwirl here to gab at you briefly about the records we have coming for our first thematic cluster! The theme is Circadian Rhythms and so as you might expect the records are presented to you by time of day. We have daylight, dusk, night and afterhours selections for you.

Ehye - “Forgot My Password”

Finally- if you’ve been keeping up, hello! If you are new to this - we have a beat tape for you done up by yet another soul dear to me: this time an English bloke called Shmuel, who is a bit of a savant really and it's the "afterhours" selection for Circadian Rhythms. ‘Afterhours’ is, of course, not a real time of day so what do we mean by it? It’s that nebulous time you rarely plan, post night activities, pre sleep, when the pace may need to be slowed…occasionally…the palette needs to be cleansed, the calendar double checked for rogue early meetings, and the need for vibe journey to continue unabated is absolute. But what does that sound like? Well in this case it sounds a lot like mad funky, bass anchored beats otherworldly yet organic, that slap more urgently than a distressed debutante. No joke, the good Lord Timbaland himself bopped one of these on his beat submission show ("What You Want"). If that is not a seal of approval I am called Sally and run a fish n chips. (I don’t and am not). What I am delighted to say we have in “Forgot My Password” is a post ATL rap, post English trip hop, post your night out, head nod meets IDM affair that blissfully plays by its own rules and establishes its own identity in the first garbled voiced moments of broadcast. Beat tapes can be definitely hit and miss but this doesn’t bother raising the arm, it’s not here to play ball, it’s here to raid the fridge, steal the AUX, hit on someone, take a puff, drop a profound memorably beautiful analogy for the human condition in a kitchen conversation, ask after a wayward party goer, and finally exit gracefully just when everyone needs to know who it is. This might be a weird shout but hear me out: much of it almost reminds me of the cat Pole who did that insane record of minimal moody tape hissed space hip hop/jazzy groove business back in 2003 - you know the one with the faded blue cover - but in this case it's an updated and harder palette: post trap and bass music textures but not committal to that or any form fully, as we like it. Absolute class servings on this...

Hello (start)

What You Want

On My

Since The Way You Tell Us

WLC Super Mash Melee Vol. 1

Surprise!

In celebration of what feels like a year one for Woodland Creatures - and honestly you have all been gorgeous about the records we've put out this year so - as a massive thank you I’d like to share a collection of mashups that span WLC005 - WLC009 (with a few tasty Skwirl joints - of which, not an insignificant number are still unreleased).

Made early this year in preparation for live sets, these cheeky, raw, no edit takes were recorded as live routines instead of arranged on a linear arrangement line. So, lo! These rude bois swing, bounce, flow, are bombarded by FX attacks from the bouncing muppet on the controls, and occasionally grapple for the cue button unceremoniously. But never fear: they slap more ferociously than a feral jungle tigress protecting her cubs. 

Blessings and thank you all for the love - I have a distinct feeling you'll dig what happens next year so stay tuned! 

See you in 2025!
