david mayer’s career and background is marked by a desire to keep moving and experiencing new perspectives. having finally settled in berlin, the german dj and producer has built up an enviously diverse back catalogue on labels such as connected frontline, objektivity, gruuv, audiomatique and keinemusik. with his first release on acid pauli and nico stojan’s ouie label, mayer brings his trademark groove to the fore once more. ‘the call’ is a mid tempo chugger built around a kick, clap and 808 blip, before a more organic groove develops. the slowed down chants and wigged out synth line take the vibe into afro cosmic territory, without losing the original energy. ‘sooner’ is a little more urgent - a crisp, forward leaning rhythm and a deep, subby bass lead the way, before another frazzled synthesiser takes us on a melodic walkabout. ‘black queen’ is another example of mayer’s slick drum programming, keeping things zesty on the dance floor but with acres of space to lose yourself in.

the third release on dublin imprint ghetto quietly presents the debut ep from new york grown, irish dubbed lady grew. a stripped back four track selection of grinding tribal ragga and bass-rave smeared dancehall a la warrior queen vs the bug or dokkebi q, all oiled down in sleazy 808 sub tones. with karl kong (aka prince kong) on the beats and lady grew on the mic this is a riotous sultry affair not to be missed.

analogical force drops the third and last part in the voiceless series taking no prisoners. for this ep af mastermind pervert has teamed up with incendiary friends to deliver a must for the collectors of the label. heavy line up that includes the hamburgs well respected helena hauff, zurichs acid lover cco (50% of savage grounds), the legendary uk techno imprint b12, canadas suction records co-funder lowfish and utrecht based endfest. stunning 5-track record with loads of acid-drenched techno, super wide basslines, melancholic pads, slamming 808s...enough to fill brains as well as floors. this release is dedicated to rhys celeste. limited and handnumbered.

the dj/production duo from munich back with four tracks full of bass-heavy excursions into hybrid forms of club music close to grime, dancehall, dub, techno and the yet unnamed territory in between their natural habitat. lead single and first track of the ep is copper and lead, which features london city warlord riko dan of roll deep fame, spitting dangerous lyrics on a bashment/grimeriddim. following this is blurred vision, a low end monster named after their gigantic soundsystem event series, exploring the middle ground between dub and the technoleaning 4x4 universe. up next is killer, a song with warrior queen from jamaica, who prepares for a dancehall dub war on a 808-heavy beat straight from miami,err, munich. topping the ep off is siren riddim, an instrumental uptempo bomb for the apocalypse club gang and all the gunfinger crew.
