toolroom is delighted to welcome one of the most exciting new prospects on the uk underground house scene to our flagship label. max chapman burst onto the scene less than three years ago with a string of quality releases on highly respected imprints such as elrow, snatch, viva and lost. with a huge overall beatport #1 under his belt last year in body jack , 2017 is shaping up to be his biggest, most successful year to date - and this ep is seriously large. he locks horns with up and coming maestro george smeddles here for a 2 tracker that ticks all the boxes for a solid underground cut. the lead track, zulu , is a peak-time tech houser with ridiculous grooves, plenty of energy and that tribal vocal hook on the drop that everyone will be singing back to you upon it s release. the b-side charger slows things down a little and adds some sexy, bumpy grooves to proceedings making this a perfect, and flawlessly produced ep. support from riva starr, gorgon city, technasia, groove armada, denney, nathan barato, joe t vannelli, harry romero, doorly, solardo, latmun, uto karem, chus & ceballos, ruben mandolini, waifs & strays, kydus, s-man, tuff london, mat.joe, tcts, miguel bastida, filterheadz, david penn, adrian hour, goncalo, ben remember, secondcity, rich wakley, oscar l, paco osuna, ferreck dawn, martin ikin, vanilla ace, enzo siffredi

the third release on ascorbites own corseque records is not for the faint-hearted. advance the flight and inadequate demeanor are clearly twins, delivered from the darkest corners of ascorbite’s mind. the bold, pounding quality of the ep brings adam x or grovskopa to mind but ascorbite has a dystopian touch that’s entirely his own. advance the flight is like a battle track for an intergalactic armada being attacked by an infinite horde of swarming space ants. inadequate demeanor, on the other hand, is a grim steampunk fantasy of a black, shining locomotive plainly out of control, raging on red hot rails towards the end of the line. however, while both tracks are rough and unforgiving, ascorbite manages to invigorate them by the use of subtle melancholic atmospheres – like rainy skies over a concrete desert. a balance between brutalism and vitality. a trademark of ascorbite and corseque records.

after his recent excursion remixing groove armada, morton sorenson returns to the fold with a stunning little release for tirk titled >the burn down ep.< for those that dont know, morten is in his early twenties and hails from a small fishing village in rural norway. his dad probably spent many years in new york and the records that he brought back encouraged a love of american house and disco on the impressionable morton. >burn down (original)’ is an exercise in uplifting, stripped back house music. less is more here, the vibe stays rich and never loosens its grip. the rhythms skip on top of the beat and the vocal interludes make for a real vivid experience. the lpz remix on the other hand sits back a bit, the rhythms are solidly swung and the vocal appears more affluently in the mix. it feels smooth and definitely cool. to top the package, were served up some chi-town flavours with <owe that 2 u.< sustained strings and a slo-mo shuffle builds, then peels away to a hollowed out organ breakdown. a hauntingly affected vocal and clever edits ensue then drop back into the beat, articulated now by the clack of a tough stacatto synth. in our eyes, a brilliant end to a fantastic package
