following from his recent bass clef releases with both pan and alter, london based musician ralph cumbers presents a new album of material from his some truths alter ego. bringing together strands of house, techno, fractured rhythm and anthemic modular synthesis, the album demonstrates cumbers vision as one of experimental musics most singular voices, adeptly distilling strands of the familiar and abstract into a series of tonal and percussive collages that effortlessly navigates the balance between stark functional electronics and a playful psychedelic humour.

little fluffy rave clouds…

it has been over a year since the last schmorgasbord release dropped, which saw al tourettes (better known now as second storey) rubbing up against paradroid in a mix up of electro, techno and electronica styles. now the label returns with bass clef and frak, who were asked to each commit a half-finished sketch of a track to tape, exchange tapes and finish off each others tracks. bass clef has been a strong solo force on the electronic music scene since he first emerged in the wider bass music field in 2006, and has since released on idle hands, punch drunk, pan and public information as well as running his own magic + dreams imprint. swedish trio frak have been releasing since their debut album in 1987 when they were thirteen years old. the swedish trio have been active for most of that time, running borft records and releasing a huge amount of music as well as performing live. in recent years they have enjoyed more recognition with releases on kontra musik, digitalis and sex tags mania. schmorgasbord launched in 2011 with a release that saw appleblim and october collaborating for the first time. it was followed up by a release from s-max and spatial.

and so we drive down rain-slicked analogue motorways head first into our second ep series release following an ivvvo dispatch in september 2013. this time out ralph cumbers aka some truths aka bass clef is behind the wheels. this is techno how it was dreamed in belleville, re-imagined by a genius with a synth or three. in clef we trust, for all our magic and dreams.

disko404 is a long-established promotions crew based in graz, austria, whose renowned monthly events are all about celebrating the bass in dubstep, funky, house, juke, grime, hip hop, electro, and experimental sounds. earlier this year they branched out as a record label, launching with a well-received split ep from sun people & franjazzco. their second release features two new tunes by sun peoples simon/off as well as a splendid remix by bass clef.
early support comes from scratcha dva (hyperdub), brackles (rinse fm), phon.o (50weapons), and bunzer0 (sub fm), and with a strictly limited run of 250 pressed, this is a 12 inch that will be in demand long after supply holds out.

following his acclaimed lp on punch drunk >reeling sideways< idle hands bring you two new bass clef tracks.

following a busy year of stylistically varied releases under various guises on his own magic + dreams label, ralph cumbers delivers his first long-player for punch drunk. with a title lifted from the lysergic prose of a brian aldiss novel and grooves informed by the loopier, more martian aspects of chi-town jack and detroit techno-soul, >reeling skullways< marks a subtle, but highly alluring development in the evolution of cumbers primary recording project. long-term bass clef fans may be surprised by the lack of samples on this album, and in many ways it follows a similar creative process to his recent work as some truths, with most rhythms and textures sculpted from the raw, elemental waveforms of modular analogue synthesis. but with tighter editing, contagious melodies and perfectly positioned drum patterns, the end results reveal bass clef simultaneously at his most stripped-back, focused, playful, complicated, emotional and irresistibly groovy. unfettered by fashionable production tricks, imbued with a timeless machine-soul heart, >reeling skullways< is one of those albums you will be reaching for again and again.

fresh from the release of his stunning third album, >inner space break free< on the magic + dreams label, the unique and acclaimed live performer, bass clef delivers an anthemic summer 12 inch for the punch drunk label. an integral piece of bristols musical jigsaw, bass clefs live shows and dj sets have wowed the city for years. his punch drunk 12 inch debut is long over due. rollercoasters of the hearts euphoria fuelled piano refrain combines with dub echoed beats and rolling, ground shaking bass before delving deep into acid bliss, juxtaposing the darker, melancholic yet tough and club ready so cruel on the other side. if you get a chance to catch bass clef live, you wont regret it!

second vinyl installement in the zamyatin tapes project from bass clef. carnaval vibes a-plenty in this strange other-worldy roller from the clef to the bass this time. name-checking everyones favourite redundant bt service, >1471< is the closing line in mr cumbers defense against the >dubstep< tag

"many electronic producers make music that sounds like the future. alavux is making the future and has carved himself a millennium head start. whilst many of his peers maintain a course along the kraftwerk or drexciyan trajectory alavux is committed to creating his own path; still drawing on the inspiration these great pioneers gave to so many, but choosing to adopt their pioneering spirit and innovation rather than their sound and track structures.
many a conversation has taken place about whether alavux is a maker of techno or electro. his discography tells you that he can pull off both very well and octagon shows you that both can be combined with explosive results. the sheer power and intensity of his grooves make each track a force to be reckoned with.
supported by dave clarke, billy nasty, igloo magazine, thomas h green (the arts desk), dj stingray umwelt and more."
