Since 2011, Simon Hafner aka Sun People from Graz has been merging footwork, juke, jungle and UK hardcore influences to create his own distinctive sound. With releases on labels like Exit, Alphacut, Rua Sound and Through These Eyes, he has made a name for himself in the international 160 bpm scene over the years. In addition to remix jobs and his own productions, Simon also pursues his musically eclectic vision on a highly rated four-weekly radio show on London's Sub.FM.

On his EP The Walls, released in 2020 on Defrostatica, he devoted himself to early Chicago house music as well as European proto-hardcore of the 80s and the turbo sound championed by the likes of Fracture, Itoa and BSN Posse.

In 2022, Sun People presents a refined version of high-speed breakbeat minimalism, drawing further from bleep, dub and even industrial techno, but still with optimistic depth. From the cold bleep-influenced opener Into The New to the jungle-tekno track Overtoom and the tribalism of State of Flux, Sun People builds its own hypnotic approach to captivate dancers. Amaterasu marks the soulful coda and gives us the opportunity to take a breath.

[Premiere] Qant - Blink Twice (out on Egregore)

“Imagine a room filled with absolute silence. You try to listen to something, but nothing comes to your ears. Sound is dampened, suppressed. A room of absolute silence. Suddenly something changes. Who isn't familiar with the sensation of hearing a sound where there is nothing to hear? Tinnitus, a silent companion. Usually covered by background noise, ready for a subtle sway to lead itself astray., ready to increase. Ready for a chain reaction. Waves. The ear itself is a composer, it always writes and reads acoustic events, constantly searching for the next impulse. Pursued by the recurring desire to hit the right nerve. To get inside your head. Silence, a charming illusion of our brain, which has little to do with reality. What remains is perception, which is never an image of truth, but always what our brain makes of it.”

"Hi there, I’m really happy to present my new EP « Kernel Panic » released on one of my favorite labels « Yuku ». I’ve been discovering a lot of great music and new artists thanks to Yuku and I’m really happy to join the family.

My first release ever was a footwork release 8 years ago, and I wanted to experiment with this 160 bpm vibe again and merge it with a lot of different personal influences. I’ve been experimenting a lot with crazy polyrhythm sequencers and Euclidean algorithms for this EP. It was a lot of fun but my laptop didn’t like it at all. During the whole process, I experimented a huge amount and experienced loads of bugs and laptop freezes, so I decided to dedicate this EP to "Kernel Panics".

It might be the most hybrid EP I've done. You can hear breaks, electro, footwork, grime, percussive, and dub ingredient within. I also had the pleasure to collaborate with the very talented Kenyan rapper, Nah Eeto, for Piga Makofi, and I can’t wait to play this one live with her.

I asked my friend Vica Pacheco to create the artwork and she built this psychedelic 3d world based on « the hypnotic and dynamic energy » of the EP.

Big thanks to Yuku for following me into these new areas of experimentation."

Qant - A Certain Sense Of Urgency (DDMFADA001) [Jah-Tek Premiere]

FKOF Premiere! 

Stoked to premiere new French imprint @baitlabel and their debut release from @hyaser. In their own words, Bait is "a French label focused technoïd-dubstep fitting the likes of artists like Killawatt & Ipman, Kryptic Minds or even Pinch. It's groovy, it's trancy, it's the melting pot of exciting genres resulting in a deep and dark soundscape fit for the club."

This is the first tune from BAIT01EP, with the second from @artroniks coming shortly after. You can pre-order via the buy-link, or wait for the EP to drop 30/06/23. 

ICYMI, label boss @beatrice-triste guested on this month's FKOF Sessions show with an hour long techno/ dubstep/ everything in-between mix. Check it for a taste of what Bait has to come!

"Up first, we've got French-bass talent @hyaser, capable of mastering any kind of UK-influenced genre, whether it's garage, dubstep, jungle or breaks. Alongside his beautifully groovy track, we've got legend ARtroniks back with his unique sound: unclassifiable cross-breed dubstep. His track 'Tension' certainly lives up to its name. It's an honour to have him on the label, as his production were a huge influence in the artistic direction."

Soulless

Hyas - Soulless (BAIT01EP) [FKOF Premiere]

Last year Low End Activist mapped out the depth and breadth of his sound with the Hostile Utopia album on Sneaker Social Club and now he returns with a fresh payload of future shock-outs from the grimy depths of his sound well. Recent times have seen LEA releases tipping towards MC guest spots but on this EP he’s turning inward with three varied, mutant workouts for soundsystem immersion.

‘Sent West’ makes no bones about its inspiration from the tough, boxy end of early dubstep, but as ever the kink in the Activist’s sound comes from the detail around the rhythm and his embrace of off-centre textures. ‘Neurosis’ plumbs even further down in its dogged pursuit of infinite subs and dystopian atmospherics, offering the kind of subliminal, wayward stepper to tweak nervous minds to distraction. ‘Dry Chat, Wet Rag’ stretches out on the B side with a phantom dub pulled from rad-blasted wastelands, caked in slime and tough enough to withstand any fallout.

Calling to mind the introspective, evocative work on the likes of Engineers Origins EP, this is LEA using the hardcore continuum to tell his most murked-out tales.

"...In a world where the genre has become ever more standardized and the rules are rarely broken, along comes a track which harks back to the early days of dubstep when experimentation was commonplace. Scene stalwarts in their native British Columbia, brothers and production partnership Daega Sound have taken the dubstep template and injected into it a fusion mix of electronic music DNA... draws as much on 90s hardcore as it does techno, D&B and electro." - Black Box
