Hot on the heels of the second split 12", the first week of summer brings you the third in the series – infra12003.
This time, battling over the two sides of the vinyl we have the Leeds-based producer Jamie Grind against the Italian ex-pat in Dublin, Gon.
The former provides us with the sunny, infectious grooves of “If you Want” and that tight groove that is “Balloon”. Gon responds with “Chaka Mad”, a bashy rhythm centered around a throbbing bassline, and “Riddance”, a UK-funky track with subtle keys and a thundering kickdrum.

Available now via Cargo Records all over the world, and Forced Exposure for North America.

And keep your eyes peeled all over the Internet – a free download related to this release will be on its way shortly!

The long-awaited second 12" release from our camp has hit the streets this week.

“With the four-track ‘Infra12002’ EP, Infrasonics contributes its own reaserch to the investigation by an innovative wave of UK-focussed producers who are captialising on the atemporal history of dance as documented through the internet, taking elements of past, present and future to recontextualise into their own unique incarnation of bass driven electronic dance music.”

To celebrate the new release, the guys at FACT Magazine have released a stunning free dub produced by Ike Release and called ‘Cygnus’. Grab it here while you can!

Available all over the globe via Cargo Records, and via Forced Exposure for North America.

“Holy plastic cats in a memestorm! This mix by The Village Orchestra—whose sole member is a man named Ruaridh Law—is a contender for mix of the year. It’s insanely wide-ranging, but you don’t notice how wide until long after the ranging is done. Law’s transitions are so carefully layered that they don’t feel like mixing: this is dosage titration. After seventy minutes, you’ve heard an awful lot of weird music and have no bruises to show for it.(FACT magazine which hosted this mix,is getting awfully close to music Web site of the year.)” – Sasha Frere-Jones (The New Yorker)

A quote from FACT magazine:

“Look, we know we hype up these Daily Downloads sometimes, but this is something special. Absolutely stunning future garage from Spatial of the Infrasonics camp (Hot City, Ike Release) – and this isn’t even the best track on the 10”. Fans of Untold, 2562, Kowton/Narcossist and more should be all over this like a rash."

spatial remixes of False Prophet out now on Take Records:

“Excellent first release on the newly minted Take imprint, featuring a False Prophet production and two killer reworks from the mighty Spatial. First, the “Spatial Dub’ aligns heavy stabs and woodblock percussion for a more dubby take on Martyn-style post-garage, with coloured shapes and synths providing the necessary partified vibes while the heavy low-end keeps it primed for the darker edges of the floor. Bearweasel’s ‘Got Fleas’ mix is over on the flipside and is an absolutely colossal piece of filthy club music, all undulating basslines and an almost jacking Chicago House vibe for peaktime operators, before Spatial returns to notch up the dub vibes and keep it decidedly heavy. Definitely a label to watch – essential twelve!”

A press pack for spatial, of sorts:

Currently, the dubs below are only available to stream. We’re talking to distributors now and arranging vinyl and digital distribution asap. Watch this space!

Get in touch if you’d like access to the mp3s before this happens.

“This year’s clearest trend in dubstep is “future garage”, a technologically-enhanced re-imagining of the sound’s 2-step origins by Martyn, 2562, Ramadanman & co. On his debut productions, Londoner s p a t i a l could have risked simply reworking this new formula: the microhouse clicks, Basic Channel washes and clean subs are certainly present and correct. However his understanding of original UK garage’s clipped shuffle, snappy woodblock hits and compressed emotion goes way beyond pastiche, and the incorporation of older rave elements like "80723"’s Detroit strings and riffs and "80207"’s contrast between cushioning alto vocal samples and sharp stabs creates a distinctive sound world. Most of all, though, it’s the expert manipulation of space to give a sense of buoyancy, of loosened gravity, that make stepping inside these four tracks so inviting. "
