London-based underground label Release Sustain is proud to announce the release of a brand new EP by Chicago's Jamal Moss, Mathematics Recordings label head, is one of the most uncompromising artists in the game. Famed for his raw, lo-fi approach to house, he messes with the rules and makes unpredictable, unforgettable sounds like few others. Here he arrives on London's Release Sustain with four cuts of relentless drum programming and acid melodies that traverse the line between house and techno. From the slow and wonky opener to the coruscated 'The Dark Hold of the Bold' via the distorted and deprived 'The Nu Glance Sound' this is a fine EP. More

A Eduardo de la Calle - The Protosoul
AA XDB - Another Night
B Joey Anderson - Drum Play
BB Moody Waters Feat. Carolina Damas - Acid Lovin’Press Release
London’s Release/Sustain imprint returns this April with a four-track package featuring material from Eduardo De La Calle, XDB, Joey Anderson Moody Waters feat. Carolina Damas.
The Release/Sustain imprint has gone from strength to strength over the years, welcoming the likes of Alton Miller, DJ Aakmael, Benjamin Brunn, Losoul, Norm Talley and many more respected names in underground house and techno over its past twenty nine releases.
Here we see this continue with some more welcome additions, first up is Eduardo De La Calle with ‘The Protosoul’ and as always the Spanish artist offers up a perfectly crafter slice of hazy, groove-driven Techno, led by bleepy arps, winding stabs and robust analogue rhythms. XDB then offers up heady, subtly blooming leads, pulsing subs and shuffled drums with ‘Another Night’ next.
Opening the flip is New York’s Joey Anderson with ‘Drum Play’ which as the name suggest sees the percussive aspects dynamically evolve throughout amongst choppy bass hits, stutter arpeggio blips and warm string melodies. Moody Waters then teams up with Carolina Damas, vocalist on anthemic house cut ‘Sueno Latino’ for ‘Acid Lovin’’, edging into deeper territory with ethereal pads, crunchy drums and squelching 303 licks while Damas’ soft, spoken-word Latin vocals wander within.

London/Lisbon label Release/Sustain start the year as they mean to go on. Presenting a 4 track various artists 12’’ titled _Nightfall and Other Stories_. The record is comprised of 4 artists the Label regard as legends of that deeper dance floor sound. Opening proceedings on A1 is *Dekmantel* mainstay *Vakula*. A regular at the Release/Sustain ‘Conclave’ parties and part of the RS family His offering, _809,_ is a percussive drum tool trip of a track, with sporadic raw percussion shooting shining across a positively minimalist backing. For A2, we see Italian stalwart of underground dance music, *L.I.E.S* & *Crème Organization* regular, *Simoncino*. Obscure sample work, and a repeating line ‘i can use a friend’, twist and turn over rugged, thumping, functional drums and bass. Simoncino at his best! Furthering the quality of this standout 12’’ is Chicago house music pioneer, and *Dance Mania* alumini *Vincent Floyd*. Rich in melody and familiar classic house sounds, Reggie’s soft jacking house sound bring a silky smooth, North American touch to a previously rugged, European 12 slab of wax. Rounding things off we have *Clone*, *Prime Numbers* & *Deep Explorer* badman, *Reggie Dokes*. A cut riddled with percussive and quirky undertones Enjoy! More

London-based imprint Release Sustain returns with 'Wiring Range' EP by L.A born now Berlin-based Alland Byallo, backed with remixes from Safeword and Brooks Mosher. Release Sustain was launched in 2009 out of East London, and its roster boasts the likes of Brendon Moeller, Himan, Inxec and Gabbi Lopez delivering contemporary electronic music with its focused tipped towards the dark and edgy sounds in house and techno. Here the label welcomes back Alland Byallo, following his 'High Stakes' cut, which featured on the labels 'Deepest London Vol.3' compilation last year. The release opens with original version of title track 'Wiring Range' here, employing raw shuffling drums, eerie atmospherics and a penetrating electronic bass hook as its driving force, the records slowly blooms in such a state before its focal point introduces a dubbed out synth stab and hi-strings further fuelling its energy. Following we have Mobilee and Dessous artists Safeword's remix of 'Wiring Range' remix, stripping things back to a raw, drum-focused gritty vibe, the duo introduce a heady saw wave bass hook that subtly varies throughout the trace, while soft ethereal pads and whispering synth lines flutter in the depths of the background. Entering the B-Side we have 'A Red Dilemma', embracing a similar dark aesthetic, yet infused with a more progressive, rolling feel. The track blooms in true house fashion easing in new elements and subtle additions every thirty-two bars; the centre stages see a dreamy ethereal pad introduced, further fuelling its musicality and tasteful intelligent approach. To close the release Dolly artist Brooks Mosher reworks 'A Red Dilemma' into a synth driven workout, opting for an amalgamation of synth elements to lead the way, alongside weighty, bumping drums. Mosher instills his signature sound on the remix tightly blending sounds to create an ever-evolving dynamic. More
