Pretty Weird Bass / Club

One of the most interesting (and tallest) producers in Bristol, Samba - often known for his intricate and emotionally charged 140 on iconic labels such as Deep Medi - switches things up with a thoroughly dancefloor-focussed Club inspired EP for the mighty Pineapple. Broody sees Samba and another Sam (the Binga) team up with the incredibly talented Rochy Romero, who laces the bass-led beat with cold-hearted but anthemic lyrics - told my ex imma need more room, but she still on my line tryna bug me - put her on pause, I dont wanna resume. Vocal cuts and an almost vapourwave synth-line set off the pounding kicks and whip-shaking bass to create a unique blend of UK attitude and US swagger. BB was the first track Samba sent over for the EP and its a monster. Club-patterned kicks keep the funk focussed, while another female vocal represents for all the Baddies out there. Support on this one from Alix Perez, Sicaria and more. The Work brings Cimm and HiJinx into the picture - incredibly crisp production brings a luxurious sheen to the Club production palette, resulting in another Jersey-inspired dancefloor weapon.

Melbourne / Naarm stronghold Butter Sessionsclock 15 years in the game with a trilogy of 12s, sustaining their uncompromising streak of peak-form electronics. The family-style V/A binds friends, collaborators, former studio neighbours and DJ booth allies, capturing a label that exists as community as much as catalogue. Disc Two lifts off with recurring contributor Rory McPikes first label outing as Rings Around Saturn, a blissed-out cosmic floater skimming the periphery. Booked in the early days of the labels formative Mania residency, Japanese don Gonno twists freestyle, techno and breaks into pure ecstasy, before the unerringly bold Jennifer Loveless spikes the punch with a hallucinatory mix of drums, disembodied voice and jazz club keys. On the flip, Boorloos Guy Contact rolls out Dance In The Grey, a shadowy prog churn pitched between new-romantic vocal sheen and EBM muscle, with Kate Miller completely rewiring the script on Sub Series E - a masterfully minimal, double-time meditation. suki presents his Sniper1 alias to close with a demonic body-jacking groove loaded for the system. Whether taken alone or folded into the three-disc triptych, each instalment stands as a bag-ready constant, charged with Butter Sessions curatorial finesse.
