barcelona arts collective hex readies the final 2020 release from its hex recordings stable with under black helmets >lose something to gain everything< ep landing mid-january >lose something to gain everything< sees lithuanian producer under black helmet turn in four tracks ranging from the haunting, beatless >running barefoot< to the more familiar territory of acerbic industrialism on the title track. regardless of the bpms utilised across the ep, each piece on >running barefoot< is joined by an ethereal melodic motif employed variously to either colour the whole track or subtly employed to create tense contrasts. hex founders paolo ferrara & lorenzo raganzini deliver a remix of >running barefoot< that, during its six and a half minutes, flies through a dense, ever-evolving patchwork of brutalist techno that steadfastly refuses to stay in one place.

b-stock! cover with seam split. vinyl unaffected & mint. them records welcomes back hiroaki iizuka for the its fifth outing. having supplied the the run as the labels first record, here iizuka doubles its play time and track listing length in his stunning voodoo ep. the extra time offered allows iizuka to flex more of his versatile style. them as a label sets out to eschew a techno norm largely made up of a traditional 4 x 4 sound. having come from a london background, the curating of the label gives a nod to the rave sounds of the capital - especially d&b, garage, breakbeat hardcore and grime. that is to say of course along with its characteristic aesthetic of horror and the gothic.
in iizuka them found a common ground: based in hokkaido, japan, iizuka does not share the same london influences, yet shares their base values and thrust. common themes of his sound involve broken and syncopated beats, and a rave energy. this is what lead him to being the first and prime them stable artist. voodoo ep showcases this breadth of iizuka’s style, from tracks that could easily fit into any grime set, such as primitive acid, to the more melodic tones of floating point, in which hiroaki guides them into previously untrodden ground for the imprint.

a gentle descent into washed out shoegaze memories, swallowed by windswept drones and distortion. march 2020, lockdown no. 1 ”i don’t believe that this music was actually created by myself. in fact isolation established the environment for its appearance. instead of thinking about music, as i went pacing the floor, i fell to counting my footsteps until i felt about to go mad. a body needs at least three points of support, not in a straight line, to fix its position. a body does not tip over when the force holding it upright in place is stronger than the force pushing it over. lawfulness of the material.”

various artists disco ep

dormancy is a mesh machine-like tweaks and dramatic themes that may have been inert until eddie hales songcraft forces it to stagger and sway with the synthetic rhythm. the title track begins with breathy synths and builds up its momentum with the bouncing beat. impulses is a dramatic dance floor track, fencing chords tangle with the rhythm that pulses constantly. bustling and elastic sound of variant 1 evokes the body to move along its excitable groove. the tensile theme of ju-6 never looses its cools with the stagger drums. jon hesters remix of dormancy keeps the overall theme but adding an old school approach as the track builds up with creamy synths juxtaposed with the clangy percussion.

limited cassette tape version! for the third installment of his petestrumentals series, producer pete rock takes a departure from the sample-heavy style that has earned him recognition as a living hip-hop legend. this twelve-track project is instead a collection of beats crafted by the producer, then reimagined by his stellar band, the soul brothers - drummer daru jones (jack white), keyboardist bigyuki, bassist mononeon (prince), guitarist marcus machado and vocalist jermaine holmes (d angelo), all critically acclaimed musicians in their own rights. after performing together across manhattan, cementing their creative bond, pete rock & the soul brothers combined their individual musical influences and experiences to craft a smooth sonic experience that is truly the sum of all of its stylistic and instrumental parts. petestrumentals 3 is a masterful blend of funk, jazz, hip-hop and soul, a mellow soundtrack for any occasion.

following in the footsteps of his first release, audition is now back with another hard-hitting, no compromise ep. things kicks off with “sync” a prime time banger track, while “altered vision” has a more soft side to it with its squelchy synth lines while remaining very playable. on the flip side, “the dictator” goes back to more relentless rhythms and heavy sequences, and the ep ends up with “in substance” with its ghost-like melodies.

michael klein trip image is a juggernaut of modular thrumming and pulses, ushering a cacophony synthetic noise and pulsing percussion. trip image holds true to being hallucinogenic and raw, chittering insect-like synths with angular drumming. taste starts off as a frisky cacophony of blips that builds into a proper darkroom mover. the modular synths and bass are offset properly with the tension that breathes in whisper. the cascade of glitchy bells and pulsing beat define touch throughout the piece. smell has thrumming drums which cement the raw, groaning bass to its foundation.

repress - al dobson jr. returns to rhythm section international with his debut full length lp. spread over 28 tracks and clocking in at just under one hour, this body of work provides a glimpse into the mind of one of the uks most talented, enigmatic producers. al dobsons debut mini album marked the inauguration of bradley zeros fledgling label back in 2014, proving to be a breath of fresh air to the london scene with its loose, undefinable sound and unique approach to production. as a newcomer, al dobson jr.s music didnt remain a secret for long, with major global tastemakers such as gilles peterson, theo parrish, dego, alex nut and osunlade being early adopters. as with other key releases on 22a and izwid, it didnt take long for rye lane volume 1 to go from obscure debut to cult classic, propelling the artist and the label onto the international platform. at once a continuation and evolution of the sound, rye lane volumes ii & iii offers a deeper exploration into the al dobson jr universe, moving with ease through tempos and textures but never losing that effortless magic that makes adj stand out from the crowd.
