Deeper spectrum volume 2

In this very high tower, Mali-I spent years to cook a mixture in his secret pot. The name of ingredients are forbidden, but you can fell the smell of House and Dub when you taste it. Play the mighty sound of the "Fallow Tales" and enter into the blue magic power.

Premiere : Mali-I - I Give (Soft Metal Remix) [Turbo Guidance]

Having taken a break following our 50th mix of the series, we are gassed to be back with a dreamy mix from Z Lovecraft (Mali-I / Rhythm Section / Monzanto Sound), complemented by some fresh new artwork. 

Representing over an hour of some of the warm loungey sounds that inspired his forthcoming ‘Love Tribulations’ EP on Utopia Records, Z Lovecraft calls this one “a no bullshit vinyl only mix, no FX, just blends and psychotropic energy from my living room to yours.”

With fingers in many pies, we recommend checking out his awesome dub alias Mali-I, as well as his live band Monzanto Sound. If you want to see him spinning some records, head down to Peckham’s new listening bar Jumbi, where we first came across him.

There's a distinctly UK thread throughout 'Off Grid'; from the broken drum machine workout on 'Isit' and the acid bass line on 'New Levels' to the jungle-influenced breaks on 'High And Mighty' and 'Turnin'', Romaal Kultan has produced a compelling EP that will provoke plenty of gun fingers as well as nodding heads.

Earth Trax releases his debut album for Shall Not Fade with the breath-taking LP1.

LP1 takes influence from cold wave, applying gloomy chords onto House and Breakbeat, whilst including textures that might draw reference to early IDM. Earth Trax blends dreamy vocals, pads and melodies with striking rhythms, squawking synthesizers and strong bass lines throughout. The LP was recorded as an extension of some of the artists moodier singles on Shall Not Fade sister imprint, Lost Palms. It explores a more experimental approach towards House music, whilst drawing influence from some of his more downtempo style releases as Bartosz Kruczyński. LP1 features the stunning photography of Kasia Zacharko & graphic design of Kaja Kukuła.

We at Bolting Bits keenly anticipate every release from X-Kalay, a label outputting varied strands of house, techno, breakbeat sounds, electro and more. Recurring themes of music from the London label are gritty drums and acid-or-almost-acid textures, wrapped up in energetic dance floor material suitable for 1-3am peak-time club nights. So we’re unsurprised, in the best possible way, about their latest release.

Today we’re premiering Rest Assured, the B1 track from LT’s debut EP on label. The three track record certainly has a particular sound, an original style. All three tracks flow smoothly between sections of almost only drums and bass into long stretches of uplifting and brighter pads and chords. The result is that sweet spot between change and continuity.

Rest Assured is the slowest and our favourite of the three tracks. Heavy breakbeat rhythms pop up sporadically throughout the song, sometimes intersecting with long, drawn out pads. Electricsounding percussion is another nice feature. If that’s hard to picture, that’s because it’s hard to describe. Let’s go with something like high-pitched tom drums if they spoke robot? The safest bet is to check it out for yourself.

The A1 track, Sputnik (B.S.S.), on the other hand, is faster and more energetic. There’s a similar dynamic between breakbeats and pads, but the vibe is, unmistakably, designed for a warmed-up dance floor. B2 and the title track of the EP, Staminize, sits somewhere between the other two. It’s powerful without being forceful or abrasive and could feasibly be weaved into a set in the first or latter half of a night.

Staminize drops today, January 14. So, especially you crate diggers, do yourselves a favour and get on this one early.
