hiphop legends

after a triumphant return to batu s timedance label with intrigued by the drum ploy keeps the pressure high on his new ep for hemlock. unruly exposes further light on the workings of his now signature style. waves of metallic percussion tessellate around a thumping central bassline. pneumatic flashes of noise seal a dense atmosphere full of equal parts euphoria and dread. garys is ploy s most stripped back and potent club tool yet, striding into proper techno territory, equipped and optimised for the highest yield. lost hours drops the beats and pumps out a thick fog of hazy chords and bellowing subs. perfect for after hours listening.

airhead has put out some great music this year. kicking off with the radiophonic ice of kazzt for mumdance s different circles and just recently the low slung cristobal on ps records his production chops get bolder by the minute. it s no surprise seeing as he spent much of the previous year producing key tracks for the incredible -1-800 dinosaur presents trim- album alongside bullion and boothroyd as well as regularly touring and writing with long-time musical partner james blake. back with another 12- on hemlock, his first since 2014 s rolling october / macondo this time the sound is dustier, warmer, but packing twice the punch all the while retaining his signature understated wild-man groove. both tracks are capable on dancefloor whilst richly layered, packed with detail and arranged for maximum connectivity with contemporary beat styles such as house, techno and breaks. what happened to ricky martin? shaded is the twisted latin stepper you didn t know you needed, so much, right now. polished drums dug into a tweaky sci-fi soundbed make way for the curveball drop not every dj will be able to style out but those brave few that do will reap the reward. captain, we have an incoming transmission. by now, antipolo will be on the long-range scanners of a several fleets in this sector and is finally ready for replication and deployment. beaming out to the far reaches of the dancefloor we have bass, breakbeats and synth hooks but not as we know it together forming an advanced composite bond of extreme strength and malleability.

since his last appearance on hemlock (2015 s double ep hek025) hodge has produced a seemingly effortless sequence of celebrated eps and collaborations for livity sound, berceuse heroique and no corner. equally comfortable squaring up with heavyweights such as randomer and peder mannerfelt as he is maintaining a prolific solo production output, hodge has cemented himself as a leading voice in uk dance music and a champion of the elusive sweet spot where functional techno resonates with soundsystem culture. a quick listen through his recent ra mix is a great way to keep up to speed with his recent output. one for the hemlock fans who have been patiently tolerating this year s more experimental cuts. swing for the fences is straight down to business getting the kicks in below one of those ear-wormer percussive atonal toplines hodge does so well… the drop is one of the heaviest we ve heard this year and tipped to raise some fingers, open mouths and spill drinks across dancefloors and tv studios worldwide. less pool cue more pool party aomame is a breezy melodic (patio) heater powered by tough drums and intricate percussive work. arranged for both the dancers and the heads it freely refreshes and translates the main theme with a precision and playfulness that few producers can match. medway will warm up or cool out the dance with big room sirens and some rude detuned drum work. still no messing about on the b2: it s a hodge thing all the way.

emlock founder untold is back on the label with his first vinyl ep since ‘doff’ on sub-label hblk back in 2015. this release follows appearances on last year’s #savefabric compilation, and more recently on ‘magic city iii’ compiled by mixpak boss jubilee. hek029 follows a rewarding period of a&r for hemlock that has so far delivered eps from bruce and parris, with several more scheduled to drop throughout 2017. ep’s two winding tracks are a natural progression from the fiercely textural drum work of untold’s previous singles and album ‘black light spiral.’ here the material is given more space to breathe and released from the grid creating a lighter more footloose feel. ‘tear up the club’ carries the weight of dmz era half-step using a loose web of elasticated breaks and builds to reveal a striking melodic line. on ‘watton res’ exotic tones are further compressed and expanded in sequence, encasing drum machine, keyboards and guitar work within a delicate shell.

innerverse is a record label spearheaded by dubstep veteran quest specializing in forward thinking, innovative and expressive bass music. 140 bpm and beyond!

following a storming barrage of kicks and whistles on -i m alright mate- via south-westerly label timedance, lauded sonic explorer bruce settles on hemlock and kindly offers a trio of exotic and rare tracks.

airhead is writing big ones now. inspired by afterhours sessions in some of the worlds best and worst nightclubs, hek024 bangs with the best of them and enforces a new weight behind the producers delicate production style. the roughness debuted on this summers *believe* ep for 1-800 dinosaur (a label rob co-runs with james blake and friends) on which he soaked up plenty of influences from us and uk club tracks/trax and effortlessly intertwined them with his measured songwriting and arrangement skills.

nice price deal !!! one sweaty hot week in july 2013, untold ripped into creating his new album, black light spiral, having discovered a land so full of jolts and thrills that the beats wrote themselves and the sounds just kept on coming. the final 40 minute, 8 track album, is as true to the furious and fiery journey untold (aka jack dunning) personally went on as you could hope for. it is unhindered, spontaneous and completely raw. as perfectly imperfect as a trip like this should be. and youwill be left gasping for air.

back to throw you right off balance, the ever enigmatic joe returns to hemlock with two highly spirited but deceptively strong sonic cocktails. we will drink to that. punters step out: muddle 1 part dub techno with 2 parts drunken hammond and shake hard with some driving dancehall. serve with a smile // club scared: smash a volatile vocal into a high-proof riddim and drop on an unsuspecting floor. please dance responsibly.

part 1 of the 3 part vinyl series. 2012 sees hemlocks 20th release after four years at the frontline of forwardlooking bass music and dark electronica. to mark the occasion hemlock boss untold has curated a 65-minute mix joining the dots between the labels past, present and future.

part 2 of the 3 part vinyl series. with >chapter one< documenting their past and earmarking possibilities for future exploration, hemlock looks set to fearlessly guide brave listeners into the next chapter of uncharted frequencies.

randomer is a dirty boy. and this is one of his dirtiest yet. proprietary edm trend-forecasting software has predicted year on year growth of deranged acid breakbeat music. we give you we laugh we scream. nar: a timely response to the proliferation of industry >yes men< freak dub: if dillinja made house?

with releases as rare as a week of sunshine in london, and a profile that makes burial look press hungry, it is with great pleasure we give you joes first tracks of 2012. two wickedly sleazy and satisfyingly peculiar tunes that as you would expect, completely defy categorisation.
mb - a loopy, sleazy, slo-mo roller with the slinkiest guitar lick riding a big-boned bassline. as with all of joes tunes, a little = a lot.
studio power on - the sounds of 94 jungle smashed to bits, thrown around a studio and taped back together for 2012.

ever wondered what untold jamming with gang of four after a night at rage might sound like? of course you havent. neither have we. but it will give you some clue to the sound-clash he’s cooked up for the final part of his change in a dynamic environment trilogy. kane picks up a nagging post-punk baseline and drives it like marty mcfly through three decades of club music. while overdrive simmers with punk attitude before spitting right in the face of melody and exploding into a raucous, drums & bass jam.

following the critically acclaimed part 1, untold draws deep from both sides of the channel and comes correct with part 2 of the trilogy.
caslon: east london meets east berlin for a grimey basement soundclash.
breathe: a slow burning roller that builds to a killer crescendo.

after several years expanding hemlocks roster, untold returns to the label with his own brand new cache of shape-shifting, sonic mastery. this is his first release on hemlock since the seminal >gonna work out fine ep< changed the game in 2009, part one of a triple ep set, >change in a dynamic environment< is the sound of a boy brought up on jungle pirates, once again smudging the edges of house/techno/bass/ oh whatever … just listen.

in a short time, north londoner randomer has built up a small but heavy hitting catalogue of work – releasing >brunk< (on hessle audios 116 & rising compilation), the acid tinged >obtuse< and most recently his dance mania-on-steroids ep for numbers, >real talk<. his debut for hemlock recordings sees him taking things even further back to basics, dropping two heavyweight trax of pure beats and bassline indulgence. a. scruff boxs beats roll heavy but with a crafty, garage skip in their step, giving no clues to the obese bass riff that soon rudely exposes itself, tearing through the track roll by roll. aa. get yourself together more of those trademark, overweight beats with one giant, elasticated bassline. for those who like them large and lovely

girl unit and funkineven roll out the lino and prepare for battle with two top-rocking 808 variations on bretons originals.
a. breton – rdi (girl unit remix) – first in the circle, >girl unit< cranks up the boom-box and makes it all look too easy with a straight-illin beats and bass bomb.
aa. breton – december (funkineven remix) – next up, funkineven falls in like a drunk bambaata with some brilliantly deranged electro boogie.

james blake returns to the label that gave him his debut release with two brand new sub heavy club tracks. hemlock were responsible for his air and the lack thereof single back in 2009. neither >order< or >pan< have appeared on blakes soulful, electronic self-titled album from this year, the new material sees the return of blake into the more sparse, experimental and wobbling bass heavy sound of his earlier work

london-based producer guy andrews is renowned for creating textural electronic music, combining influences from post-rock, techno, ambient and afrobeat. after releasing on hemlock, hotflush and pennyroyal, scoring for photographer nadav kander, and remixing massive attacks robert del naja, he makes his houndstooth debut with in autumn arm’. on the title track, a simple guitar melody falls melancholically over a bed of synth loops and string ensemble, while snares and thundering drums meld with distortion to heighten the tension. let your shadow decide is the a-sides darker, downbeat counterpart, opening with tremolo strings and a weighty bass-line, while emphatic drums build toward the tracks climax. although seemingly disparate, guys use of wall-of-sound noise and softer strings is skilfully mixed, carried forward by the stark guitar lead.

guy andrews first appeared on pennyroyals parent label hemlock with shades / textures in 2011, two cinematic and reflective uk techno tracks that earned him a loyal student fanbase. he returned to the wavering imprint in 2013 with the pounding tribal thumper resistivity and has since released an ep on leeds based techno label fina because his ex-manager thought it would be good to keep things moving. since then guy has been busy developing a unique career portfolio including composing for film and television, launching a niche specialist winter sports fashion line and lifestyle channel curl goth and more recently founding a peer-to-peer lending co-operative and crypto-currency for exchanging controversial facts surrounding the national trust.

50 weapons heisst untold willkommen, gründer von hemlock recordings und einer der schillernsten gestalten der bassmusik. nach popexperimenten als dreadnaught, frühem grime und natürlich den house/techno-werken auf r&s und clone, heben sich die beiden langen, epischen tunes auf 50 weapons von früheren arbeiten ab, ohne dabei aber die leidenschaft für deepen und funktionalen techno zu vernachlässigen.

untolds pennyroyal imprint drops its fourth release in august, a four track ep from techno heavyweights ben sims and paul macs fokus group project entitled fokus group ep. started by the hemlock recordings man earlier in 2013, pennyroyal has so far released ballsy, uncompromising modern techno by j tijn and boner m and that musical remit continues with sims and macs hardcore fuelled, selftitled assault. nut nut, mucky crack funk, 93.2 and rave x3 = murder and the titles and they pretty much speak for themselves – there is a reckless abandon across all four cuts that musically gives off a distinct old school feel feel without getting bogged down in self conscious retro aesthetics.

guy andrews has been a prominent name on the underground circuit as of late, racking up a reputable back catalogue with releases and remixes for the likes of hotflush, hemlock and the vinyl factory. andrews has seen heavy support on the aforementioned singles from the likes of lorca, the black dog and a1 bassline, testament to his classy, understated take on house and techno. here guy joins the fina records roster, following a release from dfrnt, a striking indication of the attentive a&r approach of the label so far this year.

anfang 2012 lieferten die schotten mit ihrem dritten album >have some faith in magic< ein lupenreines, intelligentes pop-album ab, das von der musikpresse wie auch fans gleichermaßen gefeiert wurde. das trio hat sich nicht auf den lorbeeren ausgeruht, sondern legt gleich mal ein neues mini-album nach, das auf mogwais rock action label erscheint und sich nahtlos in die konstante stilistische weiterentwicklung der band einreiht und den kaleidoskopischen pop-sounds des vorgängers aber neue, weniger beat-getriebene texturen und dadurch mehr offene strukturen verleiht. musikalisch tauchen sie dabei in relikten der vergangenheit - von stockhausen, über afrikanische tribal-sounds und king crimson bis hin zu 90er house. passend dazu erscheint das album in uk auch als streng limitierte auflage auf vhs-kassette, auf der die acht songs von verschiedenen videokünstlern visualisiert wurden! das vinyl erscheint inklusive mp3-download-code!

following last years triumphant debut on untolds imprint hemlock, brighton based producer guy andrews is back with his first 12 inch for hotflush recordings. a superb followup to his 2011 auditory missive, the wait / hands in mine merges percussive elements with heavy basslines resulting in two dark dancefloor cuts. shuffling and persistent, side a is bass-driven track filled with arpeggiated goodness, while on the flip, andrews shows off his ability to manipulate genres by using a bass kick and frenzied rhythmic percussion to dial up an atmospheric tune. with recent acclaim from xlr8r, resident advisor and truants along with dj and radio support from the likes of benji b, l-vis 1990, brackles, sound pellegrino, shortstuff, benjamin damage and throwing snow, guy andrews is on the rise. lookout for another 12 inch via hotflush this fall.

already championed by martyn & untold - who put out nautiluss collaboration with skywave on his hemlock imprint - and fresh off an excellent remix for zzt, hes probably the closest any new canadian artist comes to fitting into the new uk bass scene
