this release is top notch bliss !!! cant wait

We have returned with another unique slice of magic, this time from How Du & Pugilist

A. The original of Aqua blew us away when we first heard it, as ever keeping things inner circular with good Friend Toby (aka Simiah) brining forward his 'How Du' moniker for a stunning, subterranean single on The Moth Club.

B. Pugilist, one of our favourite producers out there has flipped the original in his trademark style brining a more 4x4 techno version of the dusty original to the surface.

You can pre order the limited edition vinyl now from the buy link.

TMC009 | How Du - Aqua w/Pugilist Remix | 10''

ZamZam 95 is a link with the enigmatic French producer Hiss Is Bliss. We’ve been fans since the very first drop on their 777Hz label and these two sides drive straight to the heart of the dub techno galaxy.

Little is known about Hiss Is Bliss beyond the fact that they hail from France, are steeped in esotericism, and create tunes as masterfully grounded in roots reggae as they are in techno and related strands of electronic music. Their releases are utterly free of hype, beautifully crafted 10” vinyl plates that let the singers and tracks speak for themselves. 

At the risk of being cheeky, “Nope” is absolute dub techno bliss. The 808 kick propels the track relentlessly forward, saturated washes of color streak the night sky, while syncopated hi hats and warm, soulful chords bring life- dare we say funk- to a style too often stiff and clinical, too in thrall to the past to truly step forward. Matching Hiss is Bliss in mystery, Ras Lys’ vocal brings a Dread perspective on music and the sometimes shady business of music, a grounded contrast to the deep inner space explored by the tune itself. The B-side version “Abbadia” splits musical atoms through the desk, focusing squarely on the stripped 4/4 elements and gloriously distorted pads that echo and cycle like tides in a darkly shimmering sea. 

Strictly limited to 800 copies for the world. No digital, no repress. Art, design & screen print by Polygon Press. Mastered by Sam at Precise, pressed at Cascade Record Pressing. Shipping late May, 2024.

Our Soundcloud clips are recorded straight from the vinyl with no additional mastering so you know exactly what you're getting.

ZamZam Sounds with Hiss Is Bliss - 29 May 2024

Windu - Sketch002 15.06.24

Sub Basics returns to Modern Hypnosis with Rhino EP. This time bringing four dub, techno and house inspired tracks for the collectors and selectors.

Sub Basics opens with Roll Up, a delicate broken beat track, where under the microscope, heavy traces of cosmic dub-dust have been detected throughout. Roll Up guides you along at 115bpm as it glistens in the stars.

The title track, Rhino is an addictive, somewhat cheeky, progressive dub techno tune, with each dub-stab as it enters the fold offering the listener a different skank to groove on. This track will connect dance floors around the world for many years to come.

Together on the flip, Haze and Fluctuate are perfectly executed pieces of dub techno hypnotism, with Fluctuate leaning into those house music elements we all cherish and love. Sub Basics does it again!

Enjoy.
