london based artist, shamos, takes sze on a trip through mutations of rugged and tripped out analog house, techno and left field cuts.

sias hits out on sze, the london based record label emanating from the secretsundaze camp, after previous releases on dublin’s jheri tracks. “as we are ep” is a collection of experimental techno wobblers. bright, topsy-turvy rhythms tumble over intelligent drum patterns and plotted melodic rises

incl. hodge remix

lithuanian artist pletnev debuts on sze with 3 tracks of ethno-techno, backed with a remix from ploy. having previously released on the likes of meda fury, bahnsteig23 and le temps perdu, the &#8203,,thrown furniture ep&#8203,, sees pletnev delve into the harder-edged side of his work.
the a-side features &#8203,,her cruel smile &#8203,,and thrown furniture, &#8203,,two acid fuelled workouts with a strong rhythmic pulse and those afro-tinged samples that are fast becoming a characteristic sound of the artist. the b-side kicks off with &#8203,,my first teacher, &#8203,,a creepy and slow burning trip that gets right under the skin. rounding off the release is a remix from ploy, coming off the back of his standout eps for hemlock and hessle audio, the remix is a dive headfirst into the distinctive sludgy sound of this young artist.

having previously released on appian sounds, fred p’s boards and efdemin’s naif, o.utlier debuts on sze with an exploration of reflections and resonances in the self from objects and experiences in the environment.
the a-side features “eastbound”, a breakbeat driven slice of techno built for the club, charging forward on a journey through dizzy pads, bouncing oddball basslines and textural pressure. next up is “letat”, an ambient breath of air, both melancholic and uplifting. the b-side strides further into the unknown with “rhodesamp (whacked out revamp)”, a transmission of dubbed-out meditation. rounding off the release is “ava”, a hypnotic wedge of dub techno with a middle eastern feel.

sze is a new london based label emanating from the secretsundaze camp. born from the age old adage of hearing music from friends and artists that didnt fit with the latter’s more refined sound, sze will serve as a more open platform for other forms of dance music be that techno, breakbeat, bass heavy or ambient sounds.
