f-dorm is a collaboration between connor camburn of litüus (avian), and visual artist conor ekstrom. commune follows the first f dorm cassette on mazurka and presents the first lp by the project. songs build upon unexpected repetition, wielding normally aggressive sounds into meditative loops with subtle textural evolutions. bursts of tape saturation, controlled waves of feedback, and linear drum beats shift and weave together through rhythmic delays. affected vocals speak low as if coaxing the listener further out into the nether regions of the mind. the strange cumulative mood of the record is difficult to describe: a transcendental state or a foul parallel from which the listener arises stronger or does not arise at all. mummies in civilian clothes -the master of the riddle-a dollmind haunts me in the penitentiary -the puttyman, naked inside -a mind made of cream

ltd 2019 repress ... after a string of well received releases on the likes of 22a and alexander nut’s hotep, henry wu steps forth with his most bold statement to date with ‘good morning peckham’ on the rhythm section international imprint. arguably one of the most hotly-tipped producers in the uk right now, wu’s broken compositions and deep jazzy keys have earned him plaudits from scene veterans as well as peers, all keen to see what henry will do next. with a refreshing take on rhythm and a virtuosic musicality born out of years of recording and touring as a session player, henry wu represents a brightly shining light in the already glowing london community. equally adept on the keyboard as he is on the mpc, on good morning peckham, we are also given a further insight into the mind of wu as he takes to the mic - toasting along to the soon-to-be-classic ‘ croydon depot’ and spitting on the intro to the broken beat inspired ‘neezy’. a south east londoner born and bred, henry’s debut on rhythm section has been a long time coming and it seems that it was worth the wait as henry presents 6 tracks of white hot intention. henry wu is a name that we are going to hear a lot more of in the future….

the second release on oflynn s hundred flowers label comes from up and coming artist soundbwoy killah - and follows on from his sold-out releases on sneaker social club and warehouse rave. the a-side burning was a highlight of mall grabs most recent boiler room and is a straight up breaks banger destined for dancefloors. whilst the b side moving on takes on the same formula, in that it too is a stone cold banger.
the mysterious wilson phoenix returns with another batch of muscular techno joints that ll wipe the floor with any half-hearted 4/4 pretenders. considering how sought after his earlier releases are, don t expect this to hang around for long. the beastly 909 kicks on -dorphin- would slot in perfectly with head front panel s own blown out take on peak time rabble rousing techno, while the kick-clap sync on dexed will get fists a-shaking. it s not all blunt drums though - there s plenty of peppy colour splashed all over this record to make it stand out from the crowd. this ain t no monochrome chugging business!

after releasing hvl s away from everything we know 12inch back in 2015, organic analogue welcome the georgian producer back to present his long-awaited debut album. as a resident of the much-vaunted club bassiani, hvl conceived ostati as a document of the sound of tbilisi - centred on warm, outboard house and techno but with a noticeably understated mood. the club tracks take a pared down approach that favours space and meditation over bold brush strokes, but between the teeth-gnashing bite of -askinkila- or the rough and ready acid workout -continuum,- the sound is gutsy and dripping with character. ostati spells out a space where dim lights and mysterious corners provide a playground for wild ideas to dart around in the dark. the overall atmosphere may appear subdued, but it s merely a cover for the fiery spirit lurking underneath.
