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.

Video Premiere: Morkebla – ASFR Lover

Drawing its title from sci-fi author William Gibson’s Sprawl Trilogy, Morkebla’s ‘Ono-Sendai Cyberspace’ is an album that operates on the fringes of futurism and nostalgia, synthesizing leftfield techno try-outs and gunmetal ambient vistas from a demiurgic perspective.

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.

Graham Dunning: Auxon

Auxon is the first recorded documentation of Graham Dunning’s Mechanical Techno set up. Part installation, part hardware rave system…layers of vinyls spinning on record player axles are used to bash contact mics or trigger drum machines and synths, which are mixed and manipulated live.

Premiere

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

Premiere: Monogenic – Binz

Inaugurated with a debut EP from label mastermind Adryiano in the early days of 2016, Cologne-based imprint CESTRAW is about to make a splash with its second instalment ‘Quite Good Tracks Vol.1’, a four-track compilation featuring contributions from Monogenic, Kastil, D.J. Shmugs and Adryiano himself.

Best Releases: May 2016

Fett Burger and Luca Lozano teaming up again, Madteo back with the christening release of his eponymous label, edit-sensei Mori Ra killing it with another batch of top-class revamps, Lee Gamble stepping up on UIQ for the first time… May got our processors on overheat! Here’s our monthly compilation.

Premiere

Premiere: Marcel Fengler – Shitau

Marcel Fengler have picked a better EP to make a statement with, with every track giving you the “yes mate” pursed lips and dimpled chin. While singling out a sole track for premiere was an unenviable task, the emotional weeping synths of ‘Shitau’ nudged it just ahead of the competition.

Sias: Milk Harbour

Back with his second instalment as Sias after a promising debut album for Budapest label Farbwechsel, Frank Sweeney is securing his place as one of the main lieutenants of the Irish capital’s return to top form. His new three-tracker, ‘Milk Harbour’, offers a particularly solid assortment of raw, screeching 4/4 beats and filthy offbeat electronics, nothing short of spectacular.

Premiere

Premiere: Troy Gunner – Bottle Bang

As Troy Gunner’s new single is about to hit the shelves via Boom Ting Recordings, we’re glad to present the slugging flip-side ‘Bottle Bang‘. This one’s going to hover in your mind like a bird of prey and trust us, it’s not about to let loose on you.

Lumigraph on a Bulletproof Holiday

As his new instalment ‘Bulletproof Holiday’ just hit the streets, we sat back with Dublin-based producer Gareth Smyth aka Lumigraph to discuss the making of the EP and limited photobook, creative environment and his all-time hip-hop favourites.
