The "Future Reference EP" see's Deepblak label head AYBEE pushing ever forward into the outliers of electronic rhythms. Always avoiding convention "The Future Reference EP" continues to expand on the producers affinity for forward thinking dance music rooted in soul expression More

Oakland's AYBEE will make his debut on Molly's newly launched RDV (Recit de Voyage) with the label's second release. The 'Nexus' EP follows the DJ/producer/filmmaker's 2016 LP 'The Odyssey' on his own Deepblak imprint and recent 12" 'The Motion Syntax' for London's DMK. Having established a reputation as one of electronic music's foremost innovative and versatile musicians - with a freeform, jazz-influenced approach to production that has lent itself equally to a prolific solo output under various guises and collaborations with Afrikan Sciences, Ron Trent and Jerome Sydneham - 'The Nexus' finds AYBEE again mining a deep & hypnotic house sound to maximum effect, employing the tribal drum patterns, hypnotic synths and signature grooves that helped establish the Deepblak sound. The trio of tracks make for a perfect follow-up to RDV's debut from Prophets of a New Generation, and fit beautifully within the trademark deep, subtle & groovy style of the Parisian DJ & Rex Club resident Molly, who herself is quickly establishing herself as a label owner with her own unique vision.

Vinyl only imprint DMK (sub-label of Dogmatik Records) returns this November with the ‘Future Funk’ EP from Alex Jann. Alex Jann’s material has amassed a wide array of supporters over the years, from Solid Blake and Alienata to Dave Clarke, Afrodeutsche and Posthuman his strictly hardware and modular synth workouts perfectly weave emotional synthesis with raw, gritty aesthetics. He’s released several EP’s over the years on labels such as his own Censor imprint with remixes of his work by such artists as Marco Bernardi & Animistic Beliefs, multiple EP’s with Clive Henry and shared label space on Rhythm Cult alongside Deadbeat, Barem, & Aquarius Heaven. Title-cut ‘Future Funk’ leads with crunchy 808 style bumpy drums, tension building strings and squelchy acid licks at its core, while ethereal pad swells and wandering sub bass tones wander within the groove. ‘Robotic Prayer’ follows next, with shuffled percussion, soft atmospherics and a choppy bass line smoothly carried across five and a half minutes all subtly nuanced throughout. Opening the flip side is ‘The Return’ which employs robust drums and murky synth flutters alongside cinematic string melodies before ‘Liberation Of Mass’ rounds out the release, fusing a broken rhythm and intricately programmed oscillating synth effects to create a hypnotic end to the EP.
