a freshly minted london label, clueplants mission is to push twisted, imaginative techno with a raw analogue energy and a futuristic approach to sound design.the first release showcases a balance of two distinctly individual and intoxicating tunes which have seen enthusiastic reception on the dancefloor and radio while doing the rounds as dubplates. the a side hosts a powerful chunk of modern techno energetically played live and is the first release from london producer 12&bit, a perverse hardware purist whose vinyl and live sets have thumped out at teknivals aross europe and seen over 2 million downloads of his played-live techno through the open-source audio globular music library. on the b side the perversity is taken a step further by the infamous bulgarian electro deviant, manasyt. following 11 years of quality vinyl output on prolific labels such as kommando 6, touchin bass and bunker, the balaclava-clad nomad manasyt has set up his studio in the techno capitals of the world, berlin, london and detroit, and is now in china pumping out his trademark brutal and forward-thinking industrial techno for clueplant

rough and ready machine tracks from brazilian producer/december collaborator innsyter (la club resource). cyn002 picks up where coletivo vandalismo left off, channeling that same wild, diy bedroom studio spirit across nine individual recordings. opening with sprawling synth motifs fighting against a steady rhythm track, desintegrado sounds like an industrial dub punk trying to channel early cluster or moebius and strangely succeeding. the rest of the lp treats us to vaguely drexciyan, subaquatic electro (bries) and twisted lo-fi minimalism with bonus eerie monologue samples (superficial love). the one recurring theme on magnetic healing is innsyter s clear love for mournful, post-punk inspired melodies. it comes across loud and clear on almost every track yet never sounds tired. things eventually draw to a close with the hopelessly romantic new wave instrumental forest shaman - a short ballad for all those weary-eyed party-goers who stuck around til the sun came up!

sagmen co-founders andre salmon and aert prog team up for a solid single, featuring remixes from matteo rosolare & jojo angel, mr jefferson, as well as aert himself. individually, ecuadorian salmon has appeared on leftroom, repopulate mars, hottrax and get physical, while parisian aert prog has had output on anima somnis, laboratory records and popof’s form. launching sagmen at the end of 2017, both producers have appeared on separate releases on the label so far, however the founders now come together for a collaborative release, blending both their sounds together. ‘sagmen’ opens the release with shuffling kicks and claps whilst alarming drones and bumpy rhythms creep throughout, before daylight robbery records boss matteo rosolare teams up with greece’s jojo angel version comes bouncing in, littered with crisp percussion and shaky hums. twisted fusion and resonance records producer mr. jefferson’s take on the track rolls in after, full of thunderous tones and clanking beats. these carve the way for aert prog’s remix, which strips everything back, twisting it into moody roller.

for this release metrist delves into a set of carefully constructed and deeply rhythmic but ear-grabbingly idiosyncratic, mixed fidelity dancefloor-geared oddities. the first three tracks are united, in a fashion, by the artist’s skill at programming a series of drum tracks that set a definite tone for the productions. within a quite partisan field of often microscopic generic variety, largely pinned down to the tempo and timbre of electronic drums, here metrist has pursued a tricky-to-define path. the bounce of new jack swing is twisted amongst stripped back polyrhythms, equal parts groove and glitch seasoned by some futuristic acid filters that create a constantly shifting aura of space and textural nuance around the individual drum hits. quite often arrhythmic interjections punctuate these ‘grooves’, be it the sawing bursts of noise and snarled, incoherent vocals on ‘an soaep’, the non-language and playful, bubbling bass surrounding the half time feel of ‘on golden seize’ that builds to something approximating an industrial take on uk funky or the brash sub-wobbles that intrude ‘pantomimer tongue’s juddering knife-scraping-on-a-balloon stutters. ‘caaacel the horze’ closes the record in a less weighty style, with crunchy arpeggios running on a synth that sounds like it’s picking up interference from a radio channel, as snatches of moaned vocals allude to a deeply ambiguous yet chilling narrative behind the music. thudding kicks intrude on the skittish melody but in a non-rhythmic way reminiscent of someone trying desperately to snatch your attention by banging on the adjacent wall. gauzy melodic textures in the background provide a calming counterpoint to the uneasy qualities of the composition

the inaugural release from edible comes from lord leopard. direct from his studio, somewhere in the depths of rural cornwall, he brings some serious heat to the first release. mark of passion is a stellar slice of face melting, twisted tech-funk whilst fantastically well is a jazz heavy slugger, the good lord gets deep into the groove, flipping vocal samples and insane breakdowns for a very individual and unique sounding cut.

hailing from the sunny land of kazahstan, wonderkid command strange has already become a household name for all lovers of both the big heavy smashers and musical side of dnb. having got acquainted with jungle in the tender age of 7, it didn’t take a while for him to get into production. his unique production and sound productions quickly gained support from scene’s heavyweights like goldie, ltj bukem, dj marky, fabio & grooverider, artificial intelligence, bryan g, twisted individual and others. command strange is undoubtly a name to watch in the years ahead.the weighty ‘bingo’ was first played at metalheadz in may and ended up being the big tune of the night with the crowd going crazy for 2 rewinds. mr lonely show’s the other side of his versatile production’s with a smooth j dilla influenced roller.

disconnected sounds launches with a one off pressing of 300 hand stamped and individually numbered white labels. dscntd 001 is a four track ep featuring a varied and stunning array of cuts from newcomers, deft, hugh pascall, chocky & adam curtain. the record begins with croydon boy defts luscious down tempo joint >paradise<. classically trained jazz musician hugh pascalls follows on with >joy padding< which is a slice of breathtaking syncopated electronica. the b side takes us in a housey direction, kicking off with chockys >scat<, a deep, groove laden, head nodder. while >calcut<, a percussive, twisted 4/4 sub-bass work out by nottinghams adam curtain finishes the whole thing off.
