Artist: Low End Activist
Title: Hostile Utopia
Label: Sneaker Social Club
Cat No: SNKRLP009
Release Date: 14th June

Casting a self-reflexive lens over his roots via the medium of crushing, future-rushing soundsystem sonics, Low End Activist returns to Sneaker Social Club with a full-length of monumental proportions.

When the Low End Activism 12” ignited on Sneaker in 2019, it paid tribute to the Blackbird Leys estate in Oxford, UK, where LEA originates from. In the shadow of social inequality and strengthened by the unity of the multi-ethnic community, Blackbird Leys still imposes a powerful influence on LEA’s work, even as he’s stepped out onto Seagrave for last year’s Game Theory album and notched up the first couple of releases on his own self-titled label.

On this new album, Hostile Utopia sums up the conflicting emotions attached to memories of home – how it’s possible to feel nostalgic for the griminess of urban and suburban Britain, its ordinary tales of bitterness and frustration, but also its intrinsic passion and solidarity. At a time when social division is actively engineered by Machiavellian forces, real conviviality at street level feels like an impossible dream.

LEA communicates these tensions through a style which is becoming his signature – dynamic bass torsion and chiseled, fractalised rhythms slugging around the 130 mark. It’s moody like a UK-themed record ought to be, but it’s not morose. There’s fierceness in every snap and rumble, as the legacies of hardcore, jungle, dubstep and grime pour into the casing prior to the gunpowder lighting.

On previous LEA releases, the MC roll call has pointed to some of the most vital voices touching the mic in the present day. Flowdan, Sikka Rymes and Trim all had something different to impart over the riddims, and now Hostile Utopia expands on that with the most extensive show of lyrical strength yet. Mez lights up the woozy, abstract grime swerve of ‘Mercenary’ in a musical style. Emz brings a ruthlessly sharp verbal steez to ‘GetGet’, Killa P gets busy toasting over ‘DFRNT STYLE’ and ‘Superhighway’ carries the dexterous hip-hop flow of Cadence Weapon.

In between those standout tracks, LEA expresses just as much in the production. Tracks brimming with stories to impart, laden with symbols masquerading as samples and draped in aural garb that firmly places Hostile Utopia in a place, a mood, that could only belong to the UK. It’s a hybrid sound just like the society it sprang from, and therein lies its power.

Qant - More Life (KAV011)
Buy Here - https://bit.ly/KAV011_buy

After working together for years as the curators of the Egregore Collective and sharing the decks on multiple occasions, Kaval & Qant finally join forces, conjuring up four tracks around their common denominators: powerful percussions, heavy subs, and a dash of dub chords. 

From the 4 track EP, Jah-Tek presents 'More Life', a 2 step, dub-infused sub mover, reminiscent of the stripped back pre-dubstep garage era.

WORSHIP lynchpin Tracksuit Goth leans into slower, club focused territory on “State of Emergency”, a 120 tool building its groove and atmosphere around whirred sirens and wide, reflexive kicks. An amalgamation of percussive tribal techno and UK bass, this one is low-key yet distinctive, offering effortless blends and flexibility in mixes.

Illegal Shipment continues to strengthen his presence with raw & dark UK garage flavours, hitting a sweet spot between highly moveable 2-step grooves, dark and heady atmospheres, and authentic old school production on “Source of Nature” - already garnering repeated support from J:Kenzo and many more.

Diving outside of the lighter, future bass sounds that he has become renowned for, S T I N 9 takes on a new form with “bloo6”, a heavy chaos techno cut that bleeds anarchistic peak time energy. Centred around an excessive, bitter, and destructive stuttered beat, small glints of glossy venom seep through the edges.

"His forthcoming EP Black Pyramid is a finely polished version of his sound, which is now more than at home within the UK bass music spectrum. The EP’s title track instantly provokes nostalgic memories of early dubstep nights, whilst also having a nice thick layer of techno influence to cater to every guest at the party." - Nitelife Online.
