DVA - Pretty Ugly (LP)

Tue, 17 Apr 2012 22:30:52 +0200

We even didn’t post about one of our favourite artists debut album: Scratcha DVA’s Pretty Ugly!

DVA is a natural maverick, a one man spaceship, who on Pretty Ugly shows off an uncanny ability to create urban pop and dance that’s full of rich musicality and unusual textures and ideas.

Like all the most exciting pop and dance music producers through the generations he has a real flair for looking from the outside in and creating his own unique colour filled, 3D sound, with a knack of tethering off-key ideas to good songwriting and pop formats.
He’s a producer that has come through Grime and then uk funky but he’s always pulled the blueprints out of shape, messing with different time signatures and syncopations, unusual speeds and strange synths, upsetting vocalists and creating music that doesn’t easily slot into the format for raves. Hyperdub saw this maverick nature as a blessing, and so he’s gone into the studio and done what he needs to make the music he wants.

As the presenter of Rinse FM’s flagship breakfast show for several years and now the presenter of Hyperdub’s Rinse FM show, he’s sat right in the middle of London’s urban music scene as a trusted and respected conduit.

Several of the singers here have been selected from favorite songs from his radio show. Natalie Maddix, Muhsinah, A.L. Zaki Ibrahim, Fatima and Cornelia, and have gone into the studio, leaving their comfort zone at the door, and writing lyrics with a twist. On the title track, Pretty Ugly, Cornelia drops a lyric about frustration and insomnia. On Why You Do?, A.L. sings about being cheated on in a surprising fashion that leaves her unsure how to feel. Fatima dreams of having more space on a new stripped down version of Just Vybe, while Zaki Ibrahim sings about a strange, glowing love on Fire Fly. On 33rd degree, Muhsinah launches an emotional coup while Natalie Maddix’s Eye Know sings a comforting lullaby while Scratcha creates a zingy synth forcefield around the vocal.

Coupled with the strange uk funky inflected house and techno of Reach the Sun, Polyphonic Dreams and Bare Fuzz, the lush broken beat of The Big Five and the instrumental grime fanfare climax of Where I Belong, Scratcha DVA has come up with probably the finest match between album title and music in the history of the universe. Pretty Ugly is what it is - sweet and sour, blaring and lush, rough and smooth. We think Scratcha DVA is a genius. You probably should to.

Tom Trago - Iris Remixes

Tue, 17 Apr 2012 17:03:56 +0200

This must be one of the heaviest remix packages in a long time. A year after the release of Tom Trago’s ‘Iris’ album we now have versions from no less than KiNK, Linkwood AND Larry Heard. All three hit the deep spots…err… TIP!
Larry Heard kicks off this set with his Fingers signature sound, turning the ‘What You Do’ into a deep and emotional piece. Yet it is sturdy enough to be a sensual (yes, sensual) late night warehouse mover.

Linkwood reworks ‘Being With You’ and turns it up a notch, giving it a grandiose hi-tech soul spin which is reminiscent of older Carl Craig productions.. the ones we sorely miss these days, so kudos to Linkwood for bringing it back.

The frenzy starts with KiNK going ballistic on ‘What You Do’. With his remix he pushes the track to madman level! For those who are not into lyricists, there is a dub mix too. Simply insane!

Tracklisting:

1. What You Do (feat. Tyree Cooper) – Larry Heard’s Fingers Dub Mix
2. Being With You (Linkwood Remix)
3. What You Do (feat. Tyree Cooper) – Kink’s Vocal Remix
4. What You Do (feat. Tyree Cooper) – Kink’s Instrumental Remix

Rush Hour will release Iris Remixes in May 2012.

Girl Unit - Club Rez (EP)

Tue, 17 Apr 2012 16:56:25 +0200

The sense that Night Slugs are slipping back into a gear similar to that which propelled their breakthrough year is strengthened with news that core member Girl Unit will return with a double 12″ EP entitled Club Rez next month.

Responsible for one of the label’s earliest releases as well as one of their most prominent tracks in the shape of I.R.L. and “Wut” respectively, the forthcoming six track release represents his first substantial material for the London based label since 2010. In the subsequent period, Girl Unit has featured on the White Label offshoot alongside New York based affiliate Kingdom and had the honour of Dirtybird boss Claude Von Stroke remixing the aforementioned “Wut” twice.

Further notice of his enduring studio prowess has been served by an array of impressive remixes over the past 18 months, with the likes of Katy B, Korallreven, NguzuNguzu and most recently Numbers additions Kodiak all benefitting. The news of his first original material since late 2010 is most welcome then, especially when it comes spread across two slabs of white vinyl and is described as “six brand new transcendental club tracks” of the producer’s “most advanced material yet”.

Intriguingly, the name of legendary New York City based producer Jellybean Benitez is a prominent reference point on the press release, and the EP comes replete with the above truly magnificent art work done in collaboration between 3D artist Sina Taherkhani, Night Slugs boss Alex Sushon and Girl Unit himself.

Night Slugs will release Club Rez by Girl Unit on May 7.

2. Cake Boss
3. Plaza
4. Double Take

Untold - Change In A Dynamic Environment EP 1

Sun, 08 Apr 2012 17:56:01 +0200

After several years’ expanding Hemlock’s 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.

Recent years have seen the landscape of techno and house change considerably. The influence of dubstep and the wider notion of bass music have played an enormous role in shifting and developing the established aesthetics, speeds and vibes of electronic dance music. These new perspectives and changes have thoroughly diversified these sounds; opening up their trajectories for considerable development by fresh-faced artists with groundbreaking visions.
