nervous horizon co-head tsvi follows up 2015 debut ep, ‘set you free’, with powerful new record, ‘sacred drums’ — a 12” that delves even deeper into the raw, no-frills potential emanating from the nh camp right now. already sought after for his fierce and complex club material, ‘sacred drums’ sees tsvi up his game even further across four heavyset new solo productions, as well as bringing in nh crew members, luru and dj jm, to collaborate on two digital exclusives. opener, ‘the healer,’ is an immediate case in point, a dark, rasping drum workout that’ll function both in or away from the club, while ep tracks ‘darabukka’, ‘parade’ and ‘assam’s children’, although punctuated by deft sample touches and flashes of melody, deliver the sort of power-drum, club pressure that tsvi has made his firmly his own

brioche announces himself on the young toulouse-based arts collective shawarma records. this tape is a collection of 303 pummelled jams, shredded fresh from the spike and already turning a little fuzzy. hard hitting, machine-driven kick drums, breathy hats and fired up and squelchy stomach acid combine to create a monstrous, floor destroying club weapon.

the young nordic label is back at it with a sturdy 12” vinyl release, produced by the helsinki underground electronic music champion poly sone. the three tracker kicks off with an intro track titled “come find me” which combines stripped down rhythm patterns with a subtle choir pad. on top of the foundation, an entrancing spoken word verse works as the main ingredient throughout the track. as the needle pushes onwards to the title track “echolocate”, the listener is confronted with a robust wall of lowend, soon accompanied by rolling percussions and clever use of reverb and delay. the simple composition highlights its sterling production and makes for a highly useful dancefloor tool. the last track “helix” bundles up the record nicely as the most melodic one of the bunch. the agile synth stabs and dystopic pads operate on a surprisingly groovy soil of bass and drums which add up to a dreamy whole.

twelve minutes of blissful melody, hypnotic drums and quaking bass, in florian meyerãs fresh mix-up of west african polyrhythms with the sensibilities of classic us minimalism. jordan gcz from juju & jordash edges his remix into the outlands of free jazz, with pulsating bass drum and spiritual synths, like terrence dixon beaming down from saturn.

b-stock! cover with seam split. vinyl unaffected & mint. a year after his debut outing on the label, max essa makes a welcome return to hell yeah with the han zon roc ep, which is another of his impossibly laidback offerings. essa is of course the long time uk talent who has become a part of the balearic mafia thanks to releases on labels like aficionado, music for dreams, and his own jansen jardin. this is the second coming together of artist and label and is another timeless excursion far out to sea. opener han zon roc (midori coup) is an epic 12inch minute adventure that slowly awakens your spirit with new age guitar plucks and heavenly ambience before organic drums slowly being to drift into earshot. they grow ever larger as synths start to spray about the mix, hand drums pitter patter and big chords bring the soul-shine. its like the soundtrack to an afternoon boat party all condensed into one brilliant cut. how you showed me everything then gets super chill with lazy drum tumbles, bendy guitar lines and scattered hits. withering cosmic chords colour the airwaves and its a track that will slow your heartbeat to nothing. last of all, rain birds alfalfa jam is a analogue drum work out with early 90s hip hop influences and diving basslines. it s light and airy, nimble and playful and of course filled with the sort of tropical rays that make all of essa works so brilliantly escapist.

kvr is niels broos (binkbeats / jameszoo) on keys, dries laheye (stuff., selah sue) on bass and lander gyselinck (stuff., zwangere guy) on drums. these sound wizards sculpt air and electricity with the unforeseen danceable.
