"This release is probably my most personal to date. I wanted to create something which flows freely whilst interconnected, that is perhaps not possible in Shorter form works. It is a story in eleven parts that focuses on exploring emotional depth; I’ve always been interested in emotion in music, which for anyone reading at a glance could sound self explanatory, but here the focus is really how an story can be told over the course of an hour and how this can then create a longer lasting impact for the listener. The tracks presented weave between a variety of different styles I’ve explored over the years, but are connected via their exploration of ecstatic sorrow and search for catharsis."

"With these tracks we were simply doing what we love doing - no concept, no overriding idea, no overthinking, just approaching each track based on what we felt and letting the sounds guide us. The music tells us where to go. Like most of our releases it's heavily influenced by club and dance styles with our love of metal shining through too. Techno is present but we've also explored faster styles like jungle and even gabber. We had fun on this one. Big ups to Yuku for putting this out."

'Glory Days' by
@alanjohnsonmusic
Is out now: https://airjohnson.bandcamp.com/album/glory-days

"The ‘Glory Days’ EP marks a new chapter in the Alan Johnson output. Following sporadic releases throughout the last decade owing to a separation across different continents for both of us, we take a step forward from last year's Stillness EP - with an EP that constitutes our first release of entirely new music, since our first record back in 2013.

We have a propensity to work and sit on music for long periods of time which has previously produced complex and challenging outcomes but the last 2 years has seen a growth in our abilities to focus on refinement in our creation process, and an attempt to tell a story through more simplistic means.

The record was assembled with a vision and purpose over the last 18 months for the YUKU label specifically. It represents a shift in our existing sound, consistent through our past outputs which can be identified on some of the tracks across the record, and delivers us to a place which is influenced by a wider variety of experimentation, centred around more danceable outcomes and an air of glossy playfulness. The EP is split into two easily identifiable moods, representing a nod to a sometimes chaotic and pastiched past and a suggestive view of where the future may lie.

It's been an honour to work on an EP for the infinitely attentive and carefully crafted series of records curated by Jef and Ilda at YUKU, along with our friends at dsplaced who helped create the visual aspects of the release with us. This record is for everyone."

"When conceptual art really kicked off in the mid twentieth century, many of its protagonists were so determined to purge art of its decorative frilliness, they turned more and more towards words, or rather, lack thereof. The likes of Duchamp, Dalí, Breton, Reinhardt, each uncensored by the rational mind, made moves towards the absurd and the sublime, with varying degrees of success and failure alike.

In this piece, what one finds is the artist attempting to convey a number of things, and asking a number of questions of us as the listener; what do we seek in such art? In which ways are to be intellectually, spiritually and sexually fulfilled by its visceral and confrontational abandonment of conventions? Is it incongruous juxtaposition? Does it lead us as the audience to question ourselves as living breathing beings, our hopes and truths, and our benign tastes so often dictating our choice and free will?

The piece is a natural extension of surrealism, dadaism and indulgence, themselves often strange bedfellows. Elaborate and provocative in its execution, displaying a signature of insatiable curiosity, and leaving no stone unturned, it portrays the artist as a provocateur of postmodernism, mysticism, and decadence. It transgresses the elusive world of the subconscious more imaginatively than previous offerings. It's also a piece which stitches together the scraps of art and culture, politics and poetry, and science and exotica that could often be found in the Southport of the late-noughties and beyond. An extremely clever conceit; there could be any manner of things concealed within this record, but we as the listener will never know because as as soon as one opens the record, the art is destroyed, the value is lost, so we will never, ever find out.

One's most overriding sensation is that the piece feels like a shit-filled hand grenade which the artist has flung into our collective psyche. It is quite simply, a joke, and a very poor joke."

"I'm terrible when it comes to writing anything about the music I make, but I hope you enjoy the tunes as much as I enjoyed making them. Thanks to my dog Berry for reminding me to get out of the studio and take him for long walks and to my partner for supporting me by making gun fingers every time she entered the room"

Premiere "Vague" by Kapha taken from "Disposal Ashore" EP out on 18th April via JUDDER

Pre-order: https://judderlabel.bandcamp.com/album/disposal-ashore-jr001

JUDDER proudly presents the first release in the series of singles and EPs — a "Disposal Ashore" EP by Kapha. Drawing inspirations from UK Bass, both early 2000s and contemporary dubstep, as well as other cutting edge experimental sonics, Kapha enigmatically yet deftly blends rhythms and vibes in this four-tracker. His minimalistic approach to arrangement allows to concentrate on the deep groove and atmospherics, while leaving plenty of space for the core elements, which greatly showcases his distinctive take on music production.
