7 track ep/mini album by l/f/d/ms richard smith dream bleeds overflows with body jerking industrial, raw acid/techno, and hints of the warehouse sound of the late 90s and the caustic spirit of ebm. richard smith says about dream bleeds, attaching meaning to songs is often arbitrary but when the visceral feeling of music, particularly instrumental body music, is laid bare, the interaction is immediate and physical. these tracks thread together each starting point completely open, each new step informed by the last. i find it interesting that the process is the same but the outcome somewhat unexpected shaped by emotion, inspiration or even constraints of time, they evolve as they do in that time. they reach a different end point due to that evolution of circumstance.

this album brings to light the strength and endurance of us as humans. a personal journey and documentation of most of the obstacles we have faced as we have moved from 2 different worlds and how we have overcome these struggles through the freedomof art and music through a firm connection with our roots and culture. it s music from our soul telling stories how we were told growing up and merging grooves and african rhythms to exhibit the spirit of africa in relation to where we are in the diasport k.o.g

breakage continues his excellent run of releases on his own label with the liff up ep. the fourth release showcases the different shades within the current index aesthetic, confidently showing you can recontextualise definitive jungle and drum & bass sound palettes by avoiding throwback cliches and keeping to a consistently high production value. the label has been a runaway success for breakage, a place where he can make and release the sound closest to his heart and the results have shown that this is the perfect place for the storied producer.

its no secret that in recent years brazil has become a breeding ground of sorts for dirtybird talent, and two artists at the top, bruno furlan & dj glen, come together for the massive another planet ep. truly sounding like they were made in a studio from a different world, both the title tracks and the flip side, ducking, will stop your feet in your tracks when you hear it, and then get them going full speed when it comes back end. colossal basslines, mammoth breakdowns and a bunch of extra terrestrial sounds and rhythms make this one of our most unique releases of the year, and will surely be on of the biggest.

after the 13th tape release, hmd records has compiled it’s first ep ever with various artists, from helsinki and oslo. the music on the record is made by friends and colleagues of the oslo based label and party promoter, hmd. four tracks that vary in tempo and genre according to the artists different production styles. all tracks are connected by deep chords and a passionate drive, labeled with (slightly naive) working titles about various stages of love. very romantic, keeping in mind that hmd stands for hjemme med dama that roughly translates to home with the missus in a tongue in cheek kind of irony.

second release from bore hole, russian label associated with the now infamous &#1050,,&#1083,,&#1091,,&#1073,, (kisloty club). the release continues the label’s diy philosophy with four trippy lo-fi cuts from an obscure moscow artist balancing different in genres and tempos ranging from 120 to 160 bpm.

matt edwards launches stranger in the night with his first solo material since 2017. the rekids offshoot will release regular music by four artists, namely radio slave, king britt, anthony rother and fred p, who will each drop three eps over the next year. “with rekids being 100% focused on releasing music for dance floors i felt the need to create a new platform to explore a wider musical vision and invite some of my all-time electronic musical heroes to be a part of the series,” says matt edwards. both numbers near the 12-minute mark but each track portrays a different aesthetic. opening with precision drums and crystalline notes, ‘ground control’ makes a nod towards the hi-tech soul sound of detroit and drives forward using a sultry bassline, erratic chords and the occasional icy stab as an array of contrasting sounds operate in unison. on the flip, a syncopated rhythm lays the foundation for ‘last communication’ whilst a tantalising melody joins poignant synths, constructing a profound and hypnotising journey.

while the 3 tracks are stylistically different from each other, they are clearly connected by an underlying theme that showcases some different shades of this very talented artist. three punchy electro-house productions, 100% dance floor oriented, characterized by strong bass line, ethereal pads and sudden acid improvisations that create a continuous atmosphere of surprise.

combo lulo returns to names you can trust for their sophomore single, digging deeper into the diversified sounds of the caribbean that helped define their debut. while the first single took a jamaican foundation south into the neighboring continent, fusing the sensibilities of rock steady with those of classic afro-latin orchestras, this single goes far east. inspired by the heady and sublime sounds of foundational ska mixed with east african influences, (think buster s islam, don d s addis ababa or further east), the sieve & the sand is a brand new composition within this natural order, albeit with the fortune of different reggae eras and studio styles to draw from. divided into two parts (but also available seamlessly as it was played in the studio), combo lulo s talented players move effortlessly from the galloping shuffle of ska into a deep and dark, roots radics-styled instrumental. its a lovely ode to the original styles of reggae, but also another impressive accomplishment that will surely leave listeners and new fans in anticipation of the shape of things to come for combo lulo.

started out as a reggae, lovers rock band in the late 70’s, the cool notes consolidated their reputation in the 80s, after turning towards more soulful sounds and have signed different hits, all finished straight into the upper parts of the charts. “i wanna dance” and “blown it” released for the sour grape label owned by patrick mulpeter and danny ryan, both former member of the band gold, are two gems inexplicably left in the shadows, but as often happens, later appreciated as essential spins, in the selection of champion djs.
