Chaos and Order is the new project from B E N N, a Taipei-based producer/ DJ and founder of label Over My Body, operating at the intersection of sound, philosophy and abstraction. Chaos and Order is an auditory study of rupture and resonance, an experimental soundscape shaped by modern sonic fragmentation. Drawing inspiration from Taoist cosmology, B E N N weaves fractured rhythms, collapsing structures, and granular forms of digital decay to embody the shifting interplay of Yin and Yang, entropy and order in constant flux. Across the EP rhythms become rituals, and forms become states of perpetual disintegration and reassembly, where glitch is not error but in essence an aesthetic of imperfection and transformation. His work resists resolution, favoring inward collapse and constant transformation: Intimate yet conceptual, narrative driven yet defiantly non-linear. His work is continuously shifting between post-club terrains and more abstract sonic inquiry.
Azu Tiwaline & Cinna Peyghamy, Amotik, Quelza, and Alarico remix four tracks from Ben Klock and Fadi Mohems collaborative album Layer One. Released last year on the pairs label LAYER, each artist on the Layer One Remixes EP retains the weighty, low-end edge that shaped the album, while reinterpreting four tracks through a myriad of techno, IDM, bass, and experimental shades. Honouring the conceptual direction of Layer One, which delved into a post-human world and offered a serene reflection on a realm that continued to flourish in the absence of humanity, the Layer One Remixes EP echoes the same theme. The remaining human survivors on Earth signal a remembrance of their sensibilities, told through the powerful lyrics and vocals of grime MC Flowdan and interdisciplinary artist Coby Sey. Azu Tiwaline & Cinna Peyghamy open the EP with their remix of Our Sector featuring the commanding vocals of Flowdan. Fragmented bass-driven textures skitter across the sparse soundscape, culminating in a track primed for the weirder hours of the night. On Ultimately, Amotik delivers his take on the original featuring spoken word by Coby Sey, and whips up a rolling four-four number pierced with bleepy percussion. On the flip, Quelzas reinterpretation of Our Sector unfolds with zappy motifs and technoid flourishes, permeating the shadowy pads and spine-chilling harmonics that slink through the atmosphere. Alarico remixes Clean Slate, serving a potent techno track laced with equal parts restraint and release, enhanced by Coby Seys taut vocals. While the original album represented the more exploratory sides of Ben Klock and Fadi Mohem, the Layer One Remixes EP offers a further step into the void, led by five contemporary artists who are unafraid to delve into the murkiest corners of the dystopian world conjured up by Klock and Mohem.
DDD’s obsession with the extraterrestrial continues, this time via Rygby & The Greys, who have opened up an unsolved case from the Federal Bureau of Invesdubgations with the otherworldly melodic deep dubstep stunner, Skully. Undoubtedly two of the best technicians in the underground right now, the UK duo have served up special atmospheres to convey the sense of beauty and suspense beholden to mystery - all with a grittiness, sub presence and urban percussive touches to underpin it. Skully is a perfect ode to the X-Files character herself, with her penchant for the paranormal and suspicions of the supernatural - while taking on the establishment. Welcome to the DDD Dubpartment of Bassweight, it’s Rigby & The Greys time to serve.
Fliss Mayo & Zebb Dempster are Dual Monitor, a London based duo. Their envelope pushing productions have earned them the moniker The UK Genre Alchemists from Rinse FM. Their open format approach to music also translates into their kaleidoscopic DJ sets which thread low slung bass, psychedelic techno, floor shaking sound-system cuts and zoned out dub and jungle. Their first EP on Nerve Collect represents everything they stand for from low end dubstep to funky tech and rattling riddims.
Following their debut earlier this year, the enigmatic duo Soundboy Dead step up to bat for Dub-Stuy with Soundclash Story, a fierce tribute to the art of clashing featuring UK veteran vocalist Don Cotti. The title track captures the heat of the dance, Cotti at the mic delivering a vivid tale of dubplate warfare over a menacing steppers riddim built for the battlefield. On the flip, Soundclash Dub pushes the pressure even deeper, with a stripped down, FX-laden version that will test the heaviest rigs. Following their explosive debut EP for Dubquake, Soundboy Dead continue their mission of crafting uncompromising dub music rooted in sound system culture. Pure energy. No gimmicks.
