Ess O Ess - Simply Nothing | Lunatic Music (AU) (LM004)
For their fourth release, Australian label Lunatic Music welcomes Chris Stoker (UK) and Jamie Blanco (UK born, AUS based) to the fray for a dubbed out analogue synth workout that is indisputably Ess O Ess.
Fusion unfolds in Simply Nothing. Analogue synths intertwine with exquisitely programmed percussion and George Humes’ chorus-drenched, draped in a veil of spectral vocals by Sarah-May Brown. The result is a retro-futuristic sonic whirlpool that is as memorable as it is delicate.
A waterfall forms in The Lotus & The Banksman. An otherworldly mutant breakbeat techno floor filler. Ethereal pads and dubby textures ripple across the surface whilst the resonant bassline churns below. Gentle currents give way to surging momentum as the percussion kicks in wth the repetitive chant of Time Travelling Man throughout, again by Sarah-May Brown.
On Remix duties, @hybrid__man applies their refined proto-trance formula to Simply Nothing, drawing out its hypnotic core.
@mayurashka fractures The Lotus & The Banksman, sifts through the pieces, and assembles a mind-melting, wonky techno drum work-out from the fragments.

I’m featured on a compilation from @multicultifamily . 🌏It’s available on Bandcamp.
Multi Culti seasonal balance returns with Equinox III
Kicking things off Guadalajara-based Bofo Dab (known for their blog ‘Drops a Banger’) does what their name suggests. This one has been getting caned by the Keinemusik crew, legions of phone-holders’ shazam-prayers will only now be answered. It’s a restrained big-room horn-loaded banger. Mehmet Aslan slides in to the proceedings with an awesome FM-sounding heads-down slice of clubby introspection. Long-time cult-hero Gilb’R of Versatile records fame spaces out the side with a deep, sparkly, live synth jam.
On the flip, Mytron brings a fun stripped-back cover of a stone-cold classic with Higher (state of consciousness, that is). Brazillian hotboy Niev sounds right at home on the label with the aptly titled ‘Professor Banjo.’ Yuki Miyauchi lends an ethereal 90s bleep-inflected chunk of vibe with ‘Donkey Conga.’ Finally, fellow Japanese but London-based DJ Himitsu drops the deep, rollicking ‘Waterfall.’
I took part in Part Two of @notananimalrecords ’s 10-year anniversary release. The track is a spacey song called Mother Ship. Thank you @badpassion_ for including me.

DJ Himitsu’s Exotic Animals album launch at @spacetalk.ldn this Sunday the 7th Dec. Free entry.
Eclectic DJ sets by @dj_himitsu and the @swimsrecords team @richard.greenan & @petespara
https://ra.co/events/2304879
DJ Himitsu is a Tokyo-born, London-based producer and DJ, known for his understated approach and deep knowledge of Japanese vinyl and book culture. On this debut full length, obscure recordings and convoluted samples spiral and fuse to form shuffling, heady new compositions. Like ancient pottery shattered then shaped into top-heavy sculptures held together with golden glue, ‘Exotic Animals’ marries lolloping forms and fragments with irreverent aplomb.
Out now on LP + digital @swimsrecords
