JJ - John Jones (AV Moves, Geo Rip, among others) and JS – Jesse Sappell (of Motion Ward) debut on Daisart. What is this? This delight of flicker and bent landing so delicately upon the ear? It’s «peeled«, JJ+JS’ first outing on Daisart. It’s their second album, following their 2020 debut release as a duo, »1«, which saw them flex their collaborative energies across an album of deep, textured meanderings in rhythm and sound on the perennial Lillerne Tapes. »peeled« sees the two pick up where they left off and veer into a ~ place ~ of sound, of sorts.This place is likely familiar to those following the duo's output and goings-on, as one together and as themselves apart, but with a tweak to the framing of projects past, naturally. Where we find ourselves with “peeled” is reflective of the two’s interest in jamming without a specific destination in mind, a distillation of the two’s interests in a range of sounds and styles. And though there is some arcane resemblance to all manner of ethereal music of the past, on this vaporous dream of a record, the haze shimmers somehow; the shake’s shudder is dissimilar.There’s a pair of key interventions on this collection: one a wistful vocal guesting from Izella on the not-quite-folk mood ‘Lily Pad’, the other on ‘Syntropy’, where Daisart’s J pitches layers of texture and chord in polyrhythmic impression. Both bring something refined to the table on which JJ+JS work air into mirage, color into scene, folding the mundane into the magical. For those of you versed in the catalogs of picnic, Motion Ward, West Mineral, and Experiences Ltd, a wander akin awaits on “peeled” – but this is not a much of a muchness likeness; more so a refreshing, important addition to the expanding catalog these two artists are crafting.' – Nico Callaghan

Following the success of his label debut - the raucous ‘Bun & Cheese’ EP - Dudley bassline stalwart DJ Pantha - is back with a full-length LP. ‘The 140 Archives’ sees Pantha prove his prowess in harnessing a sound which captures the genre in its antecedents whilst resembling something altogether new. Funky rhythms and rude melodies energise the first two tracks before the half-time ‘Vibez’ represents a slightly darker, more contemplative take. Elsewhere, Grime’s influence lives through ‘Four By Niche’ and the title, claps and chopped choral vocals of ‘Blackberry Riddim’, whilst the gunshot-happy ‘Emmerdale’ and ‘Protein Shake’ represent bassline at its most playful.The 140 Archives LP drops 23rd September via Time Is Now.créditsDJ PANTHAThe 140 Archives LPTime Is Now Germany

The Berlin-based Pina Edits series started up back in 2019, with the versions largely uncredited but clearly the work of people who appreciate pineapples (judging by the artwork). They're coming through with their third release of 2022, leading in with a beautiful, hazy version of 20th Century Steel Band's 'Heaven and Hell is on Earth' entitled 'C64s'. It's slow and housey, with the swirling atmospherics you associate with the likes of Ron Trent. It's tougher to place 'Billy Dance', but there are some classic disco stabs in there to cut through the mellow chords and rolling drum patter. If you need some good-time warmth to get you through the winter months, look no further.Unknown Artist – Piña Edits Vol. 9

New family members Loris S. Sarid & Innis Chonnel summon a long-overdue return to the 12th Isle with an album built around percussive sounds taken from various mic-ed up objects found in a wood workshop on the East Coast of Scotland. With the pair occasionally leaving said workshop to enjoy some respite in Innis Chonnel’s horse box / studio, the artists hatched a plan to process and program their field recordings, later combining them with improvised synthesiser rhythms and overdubs. The tracks began to materialise over the course of a few follow-up sessions by which time saws sang and flutes flowed through watering cans. Shortly afterwards they found their way to us via carrier pigeon on a CD-ROM that smelt vaguely of soiled hay and we knew we had to act.With the help of an old reel to reel and the tape bounce & mastering work of Murray Collier, we present them here in their final format.

Worst records is proud to present the third release of its growing catalogue. Unlike hisalias could evoke, Christian Coiffure is not so much specialized in online hairdressingtutorials but has a fierce passion into brushing serious quality tracks. « Un Nouvel ÂgeRéminiscent » hits hard with its progression into sharp and colorful forms, never bound toredundancy. From slow EBMish , industrial tainted marching anthems of « A New NewHope » and « Slowly Merging Into One » to synth-infused acid railroads built for futuristicTrance Europe Express trains in « Révolutions Synchrones » and « La Dernière Volontédes Atlantes », everything functions as a toolkit for imagination. Add to this a breakyandrefreshing post-dubstep turn on « Biosphere is Reborn » alongside a deliciousheadshot surprise on digital bonus with « Pouvoir Lacrymal Renforcé », and you willnever see the word « coiffure » the same way again.
