MAL008: Element ‘Motion Exchange’ - out today!! When you set up a label you imagine how things might work organically from that starting point and this is 100% one of those. We originally met Hiroshi (Element) playing at a MAL party in Osaka in 2023 but the seed for this record was planted when G Version III (who we also met on the same trip) played Motion Exchange at Spanners almost a year ago. You’ll get an idea from some of the swipes but if you hear it on certain systems it literally feels like an earthquake’s hit!! 🤯 We’ve got a funny collection of WTF ID? DM’s for that one but since getting the masters back ‘Longest Summer Pt.II’ has been catching up... put it this way, a good cure for any Monday morning blues is an email saying that Mad Mike Banks was after an ID on something you’re releasing at the weekend!! We knew how well respected Hiroshi was but during the process it’s really become apparent what a Master of the craft he is - Producer, DJ, Label Boss (go check Riddim Chango), the list goes on, but always focused.... It’s been a learning process for us, but most of all, an absolute fucking pleasure - Big up M8 👑 Hiroshi’s over in Europe for most of December so we’ll be sharing details of his shows including a MAL related one that’ll announce next week 👀 Massive S/o’s to Miles for the mastering / Stu & David at Prime / Rich & Mark at Rubadub 🖤

Gastとのツアーに続き再来日。5GTレーベルに共通する露出を退け、音楽を主体から分離させ、パフォーマンスや自己の誇示に傾きつつあるシーンとは別の位相に身をおくことで帯びる聖性は異教徒のようでいて、地域性が失われつつあるUKアンダーグラウンドの系譜を正しく受け継いでいる。その5GTからの 新リリースも控え、昨年の John T. Gast との5 Gate Templeツアーでは、エクスペリメンタル／UKベース、そして5GT周辺のミュータントなステッパーズを横断するDJセットで異彩を放った Sister Marion を迎える一夜 ライブセットでは米ORMOLYCKAからのリリース、Surburban Musikの一員として知られるBleed Boiと今回フライヤーも担当したアーティストRench Keeがライブセットで出演、DJは関西から断続的なノイズで空間の変化を音楽的に表現するAkane、レジェンド石黒景太(1-Drink)の新しい名義である神崎忍、共催するgilcoとElementが出演する。 Flyer by @totaldedly08river

*FIRST TIME LIVE IN BERLIN* ⚪️setten #10 event act: Element Element @element_riddimchango , a DJ, producer, and co-owner of Riddim Chango Records @riddim_chango_records , was born in Kyoto and later moved to London, where he spent 9 years immersed in UK soundsystem culture, the music scene, DJing, working as a Reggae buyer, and launching his label. His sound blends Dub, Roots, and Dancehall with a distinct identity, highlighted through collaborations like the acclaimed “Freedom” with Nazamba and the Andromeda EP with Duppy Gun. He released his 12” Particular Angle on newdubhall @newdubhall in 2023, awarded No. 5 on Wire Magazine’s Best Albums of the Year in Dub & Reggae, and launched Parallel Line to explore Dub’s experimental edge. His 2024 link-up with Krikor @krikorparis for Kitakagaya Dub on Youth @___youth__________ continued that direction, and in 2025 he has just dropped a new EP Motion Exchange on MAL Recordings @mal_recordings last month. His live-sets expand on a traditional dub mixing approach, working with a 16-channel mixer and hardware effects to create a constantly shifting sound environment where improvised synths and live looping blur structure and spontaneity in true Dubwise style. *Some of Element’s records will be available for purchase at the event!! SATURDAY 13th DECEMBER (1312) ‼️ 20:00 - 3:00 at @90mil___
