Mixtape: S Olbricht
In advance of his off kilter debut album on Lobster Theremin, Farbweschel co-founder S Olbricht pulls together a few tracks to whet your appetite.
Premiere: Physical Therapy – Spasm
Our premiere ‘Spasm’ contorts to the brutal onrush of a shadow-cruising predator bass and off-key synth switchbacks as a flock of bruising snares, smacking claps and clinky hi-hats drive the track into a chaos-inducing furnace. Physical Therapy has rarely sported his name so aptly.
Rudolf C: Synaesthesia
Three releases in and X-Kalay is showing real promise. Pairing fresh faces with a forward thinking house manifesto reminds of the early days of Lobster Theremin, and that is a case that shows how much potential to flourish there is if they keep hitting the mark.
Premiere: Leonardo Martelli – Il Registro
Menacing like JAWS’ main theme at first – a sinister bass strumming in a desperately shark-less ocean, ‘Il Registro’ offers what certainly counts as one of Leonardo Martelli’s most compelling slabs to date, combining the immersive impact of wistful pads with the galvanic crunch of a stealth breakbeat lilt. Straight up killer.

Premiere: Earl Jeffers – Return To Forever Part 1
Skittish drumwork forms the backbone to a heavily-filtered swell of sub-bass bobbing up and down the hardstand whilst tapered strings nicely counterbalance an untiring eddy of raw, unpolished claps. Overwhelming.

Premiere: XXXV Gold Fingers – Galegos
