Pris talks up ‘Love, Labour, Loss’

Following up his promising debut album, Pris returns this fall on Avian with the all-consuming ‘Love, Labour, Loss’. We caught up with the UK-born, Berlin-based producer to find out more about the making of his new release, as he reveals more on the duology’s raison d’être and his growing appetite for production. Stream the dark and wild ‘Feral Calling’ within.

Milton Bradley lifts the veil on The End Of All Existence

Five years after the last episode of The End Of All Existence, Milton Bradley is back with the ultimate number of the series, the soberly-titled ‘Part III’. We took the chance to discuss this particular project, the recent release of his debut LP and how Berlin shaped his vision. You can also stream the gloomy ambient cut ‘6 Minutes Before Dawn’ within.

Mixtape: Charles Drakeford

With FTD’s new instalment – Georgia’s high-in-vitamin ‘Import Fruit’ – freshly out in all good record stores, we took the chance to discuss label evolution, visual identity and recent favourites with bossman Charles Drakeford as he selects some of the tracks that played a significant role in his musical growth.

Premiere

Premiere: Mono-Enzyme 307 – Inner Skill

Effusive acid heater ‘Inner Skill’ roots deep into off-kilter psychotropic grounds. Interlocking helter-skelter 303 lines with screeching keyboards gone astray, it’s a frantic safari ride across a lost mystic jungle ; colours and shapes flickering dangerously as the rhythm revs up and totemic percussions hammer out a fierce archaic pulse. Savage.

Convextion: 2845

Just as its retro science fiction cover art suggests, “2845” is all about timeless space music. Convextion’s first LP in a decade is the soundscape of a journey through the final frontier, and one that highlights Gerard Hanson’s effortless blending of organic and mechanic sounds from above.

Ossia: Control / Information / Version

Running several labels like FuckPunk, No Corner and Peng Sound whilst making for an essential cog of the Young Echo crew alongside Jabu, Vessel, Ishan Sound et al, the Brizzle-based producer follows up to his rather underrated debut solo outing on Blackest Ever Black with a gilt-edged double slice for Gizmo’s Berceuse Heroique imprint.

Betonkust & Palmbomen II talk up “Hotel Breukelen”

Dutch duo Betonkust & Palmbomen II are back with their piping hot ‘Hotel Breukelen’ for Marsman’s royal-blue-clad label Pinkman. We caught up with the pair to find out more about the mysterious place from which the EP draws its title, the influence of environment on their work and studio mechanics.

Premiere

Premiere: Philogresz – Asakusa (Climax Version)

Philogresz’s aptly-titled ‘Climax’ version of his own track ‘Asakusa’, a pacey 4/4 roller looking for the summits. Interspersed with stealth, sliced-and-diced piano stabs and raucous sunken reverbs, it’s a progressive take-off that prepares, shuffling and revving up before leaving the ground to upper mental realms. An epic ascension.

Moscoman talks up ‘A Shot In The Light’

We sat back with the Israeli born, Berlin-based producer Moscoman as he talks up production modus operandi and getting outside of his comfort zone. We’re also glad to share the italo-indebted rollercoaster ‘Losing My Wedge’, a wild arpeggiated tune that shall make some heavy damage on the dancefloor.

Premiere

Premiere: Decka – 003

Decka’s ‘003’ is a track so weighed down with bass and pressure it’s hard not to affiliate this to Berghain’s iconic signature sound. The track rolls out a mix of intense low-pitched freqs, fractal dub and gasping vocals to take full advantage of your body.
