#6 Feat. New Releases in Bass / Club

Launching the 'whirm' imprint in 2024, Will Hofbauer & Sangre Voss have dug into a unique space within the world of curious and bizarre electronic dance music, garnering support from the likes of Ben UFO, Mary Anne Hobbs, and many more. Rooted in years of quietly swapping ideas between basements, bedrooms, and long-haul trips abroad, 'whirm' has grown into a playground for the pair's shared fascination with the mildly absurd, and their determination to keep things fun while experimenting with new ways of releasing music. On this full-length offering, Will & Sangre culminate and compile the fruits of five years of collaboration, presenting ten infectious and eccentric compositions that span the full spectrum of the 'whirm' sound. With mastering from Rupert Clervaux and artwork by La Princesa Maria, the whirm LP captures the duo's singular chemistry, an organic ecosystem of squelched rhythms, lurching melodies, and oddball charm that continues to evolve as they dream up new ways for their music to grow and take shape. ~ whirm.online

#43 Feat. New Releases in Electronica

Will Hofbauer has built a reputation for rhythmically precise yet playful productions, releasing on labels such as Wisdom Teeth, AUS and Optimo Music, while also running the delicate Third Place imprint from his London home. His sound sits comfortably between UK bass, house and left-field club music, defined by a very sporty sense of groove, subtle swing and an ear for detail that keeps tracks slightly off-centre and alive. Across three original tracks on the EP, Hofbauer delivers exactly that: clear, sharply cut synth work, funky low-end pressure and a wonky bounce that never feels forced or predictable. On his own request for remix duties, Eden Burns turns the main track into a minimal percussion tool playing somewhere between an orchestrated cutlery box and a daily alarm tone - annoying in theory, irresistible in practice.
