Sudden Mist EP
Yas Reven takes charge of the next release on Nerve Collect with her Sudden Mist EP. It features five tracks of avant-garde club music and comes with a 3Phaz remix. Italian-born innovator Yas Reven is based in Milan and has a love of architecture that inspires how she structures her sophisticated sounds. As a dynamic DJ, she traverses a full spectrum from techno and bass music to breakbeat and has recently put out her first productions on Bristol-based label Hardline. After that EP turned plenty of heads, she now backs it up with more thrilling and hard-to-define club cuts. The EP opens up with Sudden Mist, Revens knack for expert percussive designs shines through as tin pot hits, splintered wood and metal throngs all pepper a loopy techno rhythm. Its intense yet serene, physical yet meditative. Etoy keeps the pressure on with more intriguing sound designs, thumping bass and lurching techno loops that never stop evolving and keep you utterly locked in. Mad Drop is a futuristic blend of whirring loops and twanging synth sounds over hammering broken beats that lead to dance floor takeoff. Trapped is another collision of unusual percussion layered over tightly stacked beats with a ritualistic and tribal edge. Little Gem has it all - a stomping and unrelenting barrage of intelligent techno with a warrior lead and tightly programmed percussion. And as closer a remix from 3Phaz, the Cairo-based producer blending traditional Egyptian styles Mahraganat and Shaabi with contemporary techno. His take on Etoy pairs writhing synth lines with fragmented melodies. The chopped-up drum patterns and rave-ready sirens make for a dense collage of heavily textured and high-fidelity sound. This is an ambitious, accomplished EP from someone with a truly unique take on how to move a dance floor both physically and mentally.

dante
On ACEN065, NYC-based producer enfleshed makes their All Centre debut with a collection of atmospheric, alien club cuts. They follow up the excellent Beautiful Behavior EP from earlier this summer with three tracks which embody the producers unique sonic world, manipulating textural otherworldly organic sounds over driving club rhythms. The EP opens with chaos pendulum. Oscillating voices echo and overlap over pummelling kicks and razor-sharp percussion. The track builds with broken techno rhythms, whilst a swirling, discordant synth adds a melancholy edge to the atmosphere. Next up, alien chatter introduces nightshade before crashing snares and weighty sub bass lead the track into a clattering electro-esque workout. An earworm synth melody enters the fray half way through the track before the kicks switch into a hefty four-to-the-floor pattern, ramping up the intensity until the finish. our last muscle begins with meticulous, strange sound design before syncopated bass hits bring the track into its groove. Swirling percussion envelopes the listener while a tense melody pierces the mix, with tight rhythmic switch-ups to keep dancers on their toes. dante is available across all digital platforms from November 15th.

After The End EP
Sun People is one of the few modern producers with an unmistakable signature sound. For more than a decade, the Austrian has seemingly effortlessly pursued the plan of developing a minimalism in the field between footwork, jungle and techno, creating moments of bliss for listeners and dancers. Successful releases on labels such as Alpha Cut, Through These Eyes, Rua Sound, Outlines, Exit and most recently Candy Mountain impressively underscore how sought-after his distinctive style is. His third EP on Defrostatica emphasizes the contrast between soulful grooves - as in After The End - and spiraling drum techno patterns on 160 beats per minute like in Forward. Sun People has imagined the future of footwork-techno, and it is more exciting than ever. This EP has the potential to connect and revitalize big as well as niche genres of electronic club culture.

SHEEPSTEP
Once, Ilya Gadaev, RLGN, and ANY ACT gathered in a bear den to watch Starship Troopers and try to create some dubstep under a straight kick. In the end, they ended up with a new order of bass house/bass techno. There are nods to uk funky here, bass there, midtempo and jungle terror somewhere else, and clearly mutant techno in certain parts. Its functional stuff. Similar things are being done, but not as often. Conformist resources would simply call it techno now. Its modern stuff about the here and now. Its already been tested on the dance floors.

Guetto Star
Matter-of-factly, Lycox exclaims Yaaahh right at the beginning. Thats an affirmation but in times of distress it can also mean resignation, something like Yeah, whatever. Lycox says he was only freestyling though. Then the bassline appears. Elastic, expressive, full-bodied. And its not even present the whole time. He was trying to develop a new formula for the Kuduro beat. Songs for the club? Most certainly. Different sensibilities, one same focused mind. Lycox evolves within tradition, he has mastered the groove, the ambience, the right tones. Simply called Energia, the last track circles above wistfully, menacing but maybe just promising some sort of action. With a few drops one could almost switch over to a parallel universe of old school Trance, a reference that feels as alien here as maybe this track feels to someone for whom the standard Afro House sound represents modern African music. These songs pile up in a threshold balanced between styles, sensations, maybe in the middle of life itself. Such a concentration of energy is bound to need release and that comes figuratively through details in the music reaching out to receptive ears. To Bem Loko explicitly tries to literally drive everyone crazy on the dancefloor. Once again Lycox provides vocals, as in Edson no Uige, about a friend who embarked on a trip to the Angolan province of Uige and came back speaking only the local dialect known as lingala. A nod to tradition, very emotional, without compromising complex arrangements. Consequently, we the listeners are kept believing there is still enough space for a bright future. To ears accustomed to Lycox productions the title Contemporaneo (opening of side B) reads like a redundancy, then. Maybe this music can never be quite as massive as other Afro styles. Without sounding pretentious, it avoids simplistic patterns, it demands a bit more mental processing while it certainly aims to loosen the limbs. Universal in vocation, underground at the core, Lycox definitely calls it Batida but for some it is still Ghetto Music. Like DJ Veiga said when describing a previous release for PrÃncipe, Ghetto is home, though. Lycox adds it is a foundation of personality. Few in our community will recognize your work when you come from the same environment, but once you establish your reputation outside of the neighbourhood and even outside of the country, people will look at you differently, as if you were a star.

Chicken Garaage
The second release on Objekts newly established Kapsela imprint arrives in the form of Chicken Garaage, a solo 2-track EP by Objekt that explores the fertile terrain around 00s breakbeat and garage. The A-side, Chicken Garaage, is a playful and poignant nod to the pioneering proto-dubstep explorations of the early 2000s, as the genre was first beginning to crystallise, by the likes of Horsepower Productions, DJ Abstract and Benny Ill. First sketched out on tour in Melbourne while eating takeaway chicken karaage, its the first outcome of an experiment with a new workflow to produce music with an accelerated approach and more immediacy and expressivity; encouragingly, it has the lowest final version number (55) of any Objekt track in recent memory. B-side Worm Dance leans into Hertzs headsier inclinations constructed mostly from field recordings made at a lake house outside of Berlin in 2022, it channels mid-00s T++ into a moody, elastic breakbeat roller.

Say I Do
Danny Goliger has been steadily rising as one of the forefront bass & techno producers in L.A. for several years with releases on staple labels such as Dirtybird, Scuffed Recs, 3024 & Magic City alongside his residency on the renowned Dublab Radio. We are super excited to welcome him to the Faux Poly family with his stunning EP Say I Do. Leading off this release is the title track, a 4x4 roller born out of modular hardware jams and delivered with Dannys distinctive ear for detail. In Dannys own words: Inspiration was pretty wide ranging on this EP. From UK funky, to dembow, to dubstep, post-dubstep, and garage. Ive incorporated elements of these grooves and aesthetics into modern bassy club tracks. The single Say I Do has already become a firm favourite within the Faux Poly family, and if youve seen any of us play this summer, then chances are youve been lucky enough to hear it on a big system already. Words from Danny: Im hoping with this record to capture the feeling of club experiences that are dark and moody, while also maintaining an ethereal lightness.Tunes that are bass-y and gritty in tone but not necessarily heavy and aggressive. Something meditative and maybe slightly introspective to keep people locked in.

Escape from the Club
On Escape from the Club, Alec Pace makes his return to All Centre, following up his Absolute Pressure EP from 2019 with 4 wonky, breakneck techno cuts. Opener Linea kicks off proceedings with a buoyant approach to electro. Encouraging shouts of come on are filtered through disorienting FX, usher in sliding synth lines. As the track progresses, the frenzied synths increase in intensity before giving way to a skeletal drum beat. On the second track Drowning, throbbing kick drums pair with skizzed-out hi-hats. The tracks wonky, rolling groove builds up towards a propelling synthetic percussion onslaught with unique sound design to boot. The title track increases the intensity with skewed acidic pronouncements leading into a lolloping 168bpm beat, embellished with Paces characteristic vocal sample disfigurations. Finally the EP settles on its most frenetic excursion, False Claims. Hiking the BPM up to 148, high velocity drums which nod to UK Funky guide the listener towards ecstatic fervor that is hinted at throughout the proceeding tracks. Escape from the Club is available on all digital platforms from October 18th.

Destello Remixes
As autumn kicks in north of the equator, International Chrome brings a little bit of the global south sunlight as Miss Jay teams up with Sukubratz resulting in the Latin hyperpop stomp of Destello. After the release of the well-received mixtape, [untitled], Romanian DJ and producer, Miss Jay, started working with Sukubratz, a Chilean-Italian producer, and vocalist to unite a love of heavily processed vocals with the influence of South American pop. The collaboration meant both artists encouraged and accompanied each other out of their respective comfort zones, with Miss Jay trying out much slower tempos than usual, and Sukubratz leaving their usual spoken word style behind to sing on the track. Destello is a Spanish word meaning spark, beam, or sparkle; something reflected in the bright shimmer of the music which has burnished, lustrous sheen, a trademark of the Romanian producers work. Sukubratz explains the lyrics, [They] represent a celebration of my surroundings, they evoke the mood and situations that I have/had/and keep experiencing in the club. These moments refer to me and my friends and community being a sharp spark through the night. I used to dislike the club space before approaching it as a DJ and being able to control the crowd, hence why I approach it in a completely different way now after years of working in one and obviously looking for exciting revenge through my writing Backing this up, the track has been reworked by an equally glittery collection of artists: the now-Atlanta-based French legend, Brodinski, adds a harder edge with distorted 909 drums, while Amantra ramps up both the tempo with hard kicks fueling her take on the Destello remix with Latin lore. Keeping things strictly South American, Mexicos rising star, DJ Fucci turns the track into a Latin club banger, and Brazils RKills adds a touch of Baile shine to the mix whilst maintaining a crossover sound.

Which Way Is Up
Pearson Sound returns to his Hessle Audio label with Which Way Is Up, a 4 track EP showcasing a range of textures and tempos with soundsystem pressure as the anchor. The 808-laced Hornet kicks things off with a sound palette inspired as much by 80s Miami as 10s London. Twister dials up the energy with a jagged lead and scattered breakbeats pulling in opposing directions, while the steppers pulse of Slingshot evokes formative experiences at Subdub in Leeds. The EP is brought to a close with the blissed out title track Which Way Is Up, whose arpeggios dance around each other until they fizzle to breaking point. Support from Mala, Mary Anne Hobbs, Joy Orbison and more.

Ganzfeld
Objekt launches his new label, Kapsela, with a 10-year anniversary reissue of his lauded production Ganzfeld. An ambitious, evocative electro/IDM epic with cavernous drums and a riotously funky bass solo, Ganzfeld was initially released in 2014 on Leisure System as the B-side of Hypnagogia, a split EP with Detroit electro pioneers Dopplereffekt. It quickly garnered critical acclaim (including Track Of The Year by Resident Advisor) and amassed a cult following despite clocking in at 147bpm, a relatively unwieldy tempo for most DJs at the time. Given the seismic shifts in tempo and genre that have taken place in the 10 years since and the emergence of a new generation of producers with whom Ganzfelds influence has resonated, 2024 seemed like the perfect moment for a re-release. Commissioning remixes for the first time, Objekt enlists Djrum, who delivers a jaw-dropping 10-minute rendition which weaves through multiple genres and tempos with the cinematic flair of a short film score. Milans Piezo contributes a taut, prickly interpretation that builds tension at 80bpm before exploding into a cathartic double-time closer. Finally, US ambient artist Ulla fully deconstructs the original into a serene, undulating lullaby.

COMBO PACK
Footwork supergroup The Era brings us COMBO PACK, a fresh EP with three new anthems plus Who Betta, the battle track with the triumphant hook Tell me who betta, which came out earlier this year as a single. Telling stories with their feet and the mic, they trade off giving you a deeper look into the Chicago underground. Effortlessly flowing in unison through a maze of drums, theyre creating a new mold for the future of footwork rap or, as they call it, Footwork with words to come. Produced by Teklife co-founder DJ Spinn and with the help of his protege Taso, they bend soulful samples and synths to fit inside the narrative that the Era paints with their words. Classic hip-hop production informed plenty of footwork in its early days, and here, they layer that past with the present, creating their own faster, more cut-up version of boom-bap. And just like the hypnotic repetition of a sample when it gets caught in a loop, their voices are similarly mangled to complement their verses. While they might be riding on top of the production, theyre also a part of it. The importance of storytelling in footwork is often overlooked, and we usually get the tale through the abstract. Vexing synths, unorthodox drum patterns, and stuttering words leave it up to our imaginations to assemble the puzzle pieces. The Era brings us a more concrete version of the allegory through their masterfully crafted bars. They employ themselves as narrators of the streets they walk and, in the process, are making new connections between the world of lyricists and their homegrown Chicago dance culture.

Pressure Dome is turning 5! 54 artists, 13 releases, 100s of hours of radio and some incredible parties later were super proud of the community weve built over the years in Bristol and beyond. To celebrate, weve got three compilations in the works - PDCOMP005 being the first of the trio featuring label mainstays Caldera, Talik and Human Resources, plus a host of new names bringing their approach to the experimental club-focused sound we love here at the Dome. Were excited to welcome Will Hofbauer, Meta, Berwick, Kincaid, How Du, Harry Rodger and Rose Again for their label debuts - all artists weve felt a sonic connection to for a while and who have been supporting the label since day dot so, in our eyes, are already part of the PD family. Ranging from the more introspective & elegant expressions of Kincaid, Talik and Caldera to the playful chug of Will Hofbauers Jugo Máximo, to the more up front bass excursions from Berwick, Meta, Rose Again and Human Resources, to the dubby, swung oddities of How Du and Harry Rodger, PDCOMP005 has a little bit of something for everyone to enjoy.

Good Newz
Paying homage with rescued sound clips from the archives, DJ Spinn & Taso bring us Good Newz, a tribute to the charismatic founder of Teklife DJ Rashad. A warm voicemail from their late friend opens up the track, which quickly explodes into a storm of hyper bleeps and psychotic hi-hats pumping along an infectious rhythm. Its structure eventually collapses, revealing a minimal battle track with pummeling bass triplets. Sounds are mangled, the bleeps and pushed and pulled every which way, and time feels suspended as drum patterns morph. Rashad was known for his mastery of the MPC, and these two are flexing their way around the pads in a way that would make him proud. Using the remnants of their peer that have survived hard drives over the last 10 years, this is their way of saying thank you for everything, and a testament to their mission of keeping his name alive.
