The Limited Series reaches it's 10th release milestone with another 5 track compilation from some of our favourite artists at the moment. BPLS010 is a collection of leftfield UK Techno and broken beats for the dancefloor.

The opening track comes from Bristol based Yushh, head at the Pressure Dome Label, with "Fidget Spanner" featuring a hypnotic garage vocal looped over steppy techno drums, followed by Kincaid on the A2, who returns to the label after his latest split EP "Single Cell" on BP016, this time working with vocalist J. Caesar on the deep spoken word trip of "Inside".

Tristan Arp, one half of the Asa Tone project, also returns after his solo EP "Slip" on BP012 in 2020, with "Circling The Abyss" with a refreshing use of the Cello laid expertly on polyrhythmic drum patterns. PinballSpider makes their label debut with a warm and stripped back minimal ear worm on "In One Ear", while Johnny Hunter, Pleasure Club Label favourite, closes things off with the drum heavy percussion of "89' Brakes". The mood is Red. One Love. BP x

Limited Series 10

Yushh - Fidget Spanner [Banoffee Pies]

Presenting NS002, Indent: Transitory Memories; a four track EP, with a remix from Yushh. A collection of hypnotic sounds, the puncture of the sub - get lost in the clouds, it’s time to head back to the dance floor.

 Mastered by Beau Thomas at Ten Eight Seven Mastering. Artwork by Samuel Tomsky.

 London based producer and hard-hitting Bristol sub maestro, Indent, has been producing for 7 years and DJ'ing for even longer, rolling onto the commercial release scene with Holding Hands Records earlier in the year. Indent received deserved recognition when Desert Sound Colony picked him for a two-track digital release; Brad submitted his track 'Falling' to a live remix session on YouTube, and whilst originally not intending to release commercially, the concept ended up being too strong not to.'

PREMIERE: Indent - Cloud Port (Yushh's Cirrus Mix) [Noire State]

There was a chill in the air, the kind that preceded a sinister or unfortunate event. Now darkness arrived much earlier, the streets emptied leaving only the nightcrawlers to roam at their leisure. Under the veil of night, societal rules went out of the window. There was no longer any law enforcement patrolling these parts, they'd given up on that a long time ago, there was only so much that could be done to keep these creatures at bay.

Following releases from Lårry and Aroent, Berlin-based imprint Awkwardly Social are gearing up for their first ever VA, bringing together some of their favourite artists and label mates. A release that's given the label 'plenty to be excited about', the four tracks feature music from previous affiliate Lårry, Pugilist, J.Wiltshire and Yushh, all of whom bring different flavours with their originals: from ambient to glitch, electro and leftfield.

PREMIERE: Yushh - Periwink [Awkwardly Social]

Years have passed.
Several lifeforms digested and built symbiosis relationship with the Freefloat.

Landscape have changed.
Through adaptation and mutation, the life-swarm erased the scars at the surface of the Earth.

Climax has been reached.

Eternal love to the artists who accepted and took part in this adventure.
Aa Sudd, BZMC, Glass, Jan Loup, Jonnnah, Jonquera, Katatonic Silentio, Myako, Plants Army Revolver, Space Drums Meditation, Varuna, Yushh.
They broadened the stylistic borders of the initial material and pushed further the ideas and what we expected for Freefloat to be.

C. Coiffure - Trees Used To Speak At Dawn (Yushh Remix)

Her days began cold, the anxiety grew more and more as the minutes went by. With every movement a rush of fear-inducing thoughts hit her, as if hiding was her only choice. She counted down the seconds in her head, waiting for the moment that she'd set foot out of her anxious state of mind and into that smoke-filled room. It was there amongst the beams of light and the rolling sub frequencies that she left her head and moved into her body. Freedom flowed as she entered the darkness: the night was here and it was hers.

Known for his groundbreaking live performances and DJ sets of broken beat techno, trance, mystical electronica and muted bass, Dawn Razor translates this heady cocktail of sounds to his own productions. With previous releases on A R T S, Scuffed and Holding Hands, to name but a few, Dawn Razor now makes his way to London's Of Paradise for his forthcoming EP, Scary Movies, which comes with a twisted remix from Pressure Dome boss Yushh: packed full of attitude, it's a masterclass in jagged techno and twisted breaks.

PREMIERE: Dawn Razor - Getting (Yushh's Dusk Mix) [Of Paradise]

Yushh - Skiddadle (PDCOMP004)

Pre-order: https://wisdomteethuk.bandcamp.com/album/look-mum-no-hands

@pressuredome label-head @yushh lands on @wisdomteeth-uk with her long-anticipated debut EP, ‘Look Mum No Hands’ - an assured four-tracker that draws on Bristol bass, footwork, jungle and broken techno to create something fresh and upfront.

On the EP's penultimate track, ‘Close Fall’ squeezes darkside d’n’b sonics into a chugging 95 BPM beat template.

Premiere: Yushh 'Close Fall'

Our sixth VA compilation continues in the collective spirit at the heart of Pressure Dome; here taking its fullest form. The first of its kind in the label catalogue, ‘Two [Is Greater Than] One’ sees a selection of PD regulars and friends of the label put their heads together across eight atmospheric tracks, equally as suited to the club as to solo listening. 

Those who have followed the label for a while will be no stranger to the comp’s first collaborator. Human Resources teams up with London dub techno specialist, Keplrr, on ‘Spring’: a mood-led composition where the impact is contained in atmosphere. Fragmented drum breaks are engulfed by airy synth pads and punctuated by a dancehall-indebted rhythm that marches at 90BPM. ‘Yuppel’ welcomes Noods Radio mainstay Sid Quirk aka Keppel into the mix. He is joined by label boss, Yushh, on a ruminative percussive tool, guided by cavernous drums that fabricate a vivid, immersive environment. With the guidance of Brighton’s Caldera, the journey continues with Süss Choc. The reverb-laden synth plucks on ‘evoke water droplets, and hallucinatory details echo around them to create the illusion of being in a mountainous cove.

Delay Grounds – an audiophile in the truest sense of the word – is next to take the baton. Together, he and Yushh take it up a notch on ‘Telomere’ – a full-bodied club-ready track packed with glitchy chords and giddy drums. A gnarly, Pariah-esque breakdown segues into the track’s second wind where pitched-up vocal chops accelerate it to the compilation’s energetic climax. With the help of London drum specialist, Syz, ‘Fuzbidun’ keeps our feet firmly on the dancefloor. Breakbeats are chopped and rearranged, flitting between double and half time whilst a distorted mid-bass roughens things round the edges, prepping the ground for the compilation’s move to a more inorganic feel.

Bristol don, Forever, joins Yushh next on ‘Passing Notes’ – a groove-driven club track where skittish percussion ricochets from side to side, so palpable it tempts the touch. ‘Crash Bash Party At BUFOs’ is no different. The link-up between Delay Grounds and dance music’s stalwart of musique concrète, Wordcolour, is completely idiosyncratic to both artists: the perfect combination of found-sound percussion and skillfully rehashed vocal samples. It’s up to two PD mainstays – Roy Mills and Human Resources – to close proceedings. A chugging rhythm bubbles under the surface of ‘Sycophantasy’, sending us on a dubbed-out trip before picking the pace back up again.

Jen Hartley aka Yushh @yushh established herself as one of Bristol’s most exciting new faces on the scene. As a local selector, she has turned her attention to the groundswell of talent the city has to offer when it comes to the cross-section of bass music with her new label project, Pressure Dome @pressuredome.

On this inaugural VA release, she proposes us a beautiful selection of artists, tied together by syncopated rhythms and broken beats, where each producer brings their own style, tempo and atmosphere. The release provides a range and depth that reflects Bristol’s musical versatility, from newcomer Syz whose contribution follows highly praised releases on Only Ruins and Brotherhood Sound System, to some of the city’s newest party starters to rise through the ranks.

All five tracks ooze individuality, yet subtly tie together with influences and sounds of a city that naturally nurtures progressive experimentalism. Pressure Dome’s offering is a fine example of burgeoning collective, with like-minded producers set on an uncompromising approach to the broken beat.

We have the pleasure to share with you the track "Always, Always, Nevr On Time" from Yushh, showcasing intricate percussion and delicate melodies that roll with energy over subby baselines.

Welcome To The Pressure Dome

Premiere: Yushh - Always, Always, Never On Time [Pressure Dome]

A few months ago we introduced to Jen Hartley aka Yushh @yushh with the inaugural release of her label Pressure Dome. Jen established herself as one of Bristol’s most exciting new faces on the scene. As a local selector, she's turned her attention to the groundswell of artists the city has to offer. She launched Pressure Dome @pressuredome - a platform for uncovering the city's talents at the cross-section of bass music and UK-ish electronic sounds.

On this second release, the Pressure Dome crew are back in full force with something fresh out of the lab. A cold fusion of other-wordly rhythm and pulsation, a blueprint of Bristol's sonic underground and its uncharted voices of vibration. 

From chuggy dancehall rhythm and energetic breaks, to intricate, atmospheric techno, electro and grime, these fifteen broken-beat builders take us on on a journey through crafted cadence and dynamic metronomy. 

Wanting to give back to the city they live in and one that inspires so much creativity in those fortunate enough to access opportunity, all proceeds from PDCOMP001 will go to Caring in Bristol, a homeless charity providing services and shelter for those most in need.

As sound systems fall silent across the country in response to COVID-19, we’ve seen our party series Cabin Fever grind to a halt.

Although it was hard watching months of careful planning and hard work erased, we recognise the impact of this crisis goes much deeper than a few cancelled parties, so we decided to channel our energy into something more positive.

'Remote Access' is a collection of music sourced from both core members of our CF family, and a handful of our favourite producers operating in the UKs underground scene.

100% of proceeds for this release will go towards The Trussell Trust, supporting a nationwide network of food banks which are currently under an unprecedented level of pressure.

Yushh - I'm With Empty

Brighton native via Bristol, Syz is an artist, DJ and co-founder of events conglomerate Method Lab. Having released on labels such as Pressure Dome and Only Ruins, Syz’s musical palette has dissected inspiration from all avenues of UK bass-driven dance music.

Drawing on a diverse range of touchpoints from across the spectrum of UK club music, his latest EP for Control Freak is no different, encompassing precision-engineered soundsystem techno, mutant 2-step and West Country bass.

Wrapping things up, Pressure Dome founder Yushh returns to Control Freak with her own flip of title track Bunzunkunzun, bringing down the BPM for a menacing rework that’s punctuated by her signature wonky rhythms.

Very strictly limited vinyl release for these essential DJ weapons - get them while they’re hot!
