Kowton unleashes a pair of devastating dance floor weapons to rattle your ribcage.
* 'Pea Soup' gets wavey in a fog of old rave stylings and jagged rhythms, while b-side 'Iodine' rolls with a
deeper shuffle, putting a UK spin on the classic Detroit sound.

First salvo of a family affair between the Bristol label Happy Skull and the London-Athens nexus Berceuse Heroique. The slamming, futuristic, widescreen willies of classic Kowton — megaton drums, bass-up-the-walls — landing a massive spaceship just across from Ray Keith, in a landscape from Europe After The Rain. Plus collaborations between Billebob — best-kept secret of Underground Resistance — and Marshallito, boss of the mighty Subbass Sound System imprint, crossing freakin’ P-Funk and Detroit electro. The family that slays together, stays together, as Phil Ochs put it.

Bristol's local hero Kowton contributes to TEALs fourth release - the slowly grooving house gem that is "DIRTY LITTLE BOMB" slowly evolves through cold, industrial soundscapes yielding one of the more introvert yet danceable tracks seen on TEAL so far. The mysterious player RIVET reworks KOWTONs gem on the flipside - cranking up the tempo; layering lush synth hits and shifty groove - Power moves! Early support from: Midland, Shifted, Blawan, Pariah, XI, DJ Donga, WNCL"

Taking the low end tradition of Bristol music and marrying it to a murky, swung 4/4 aesthetic, Kowton returns to Idle Hands after the claustrophobic paranoia of his ‘Basic Music Knowledge’ / ‘Hunger’ set. She Don't Jack creeps into life with industrial textures before crisp, rigidclaps and shuffled hits skip energetically around a bassline malevolent in its simplicity. Drunk On Sunday works drum machine grooves from the off, heading down a stripped-bare corridor of pitch-black house. Fearsome bass swells enter the mix while metallic hits bolster the percussion. Fast becoming one of the leading lights in the wilder realms of UK house and techno, Kowton once again demonstrates his arcane production skills with devastating results.

Delving deep in to his dub chamber, Mosca delivers a pair of upfront rhythms for Livity Sound. 'Don't Take..' hits hard, it's whiplash groove fine tuned for maximum dance floor impact. By contrast 'Peyote Stitch' takes a deeper approach, it's hazy spectral visions sat atop low slung drums in trademark Mosca style.

Simo Cell returns to Livity Sound for the label's final release of 2016. Following up his debut 12" for the label in 2015, the Parisian brings his varied tastes to this diverse four tracker. From the hazy bumping rhythms of 'Gliding' to the pulsating strobed snare assault of 'Away From Keyboard', these razor edge productions demonstrate exactly why he's been tipped by so many as one to watch.

Stunning debut from London based artist Forest Drive West for Livity Sound. 'System' revolves around an irresistible deep and tripping pneumatic broken drum groove, propelling the track through ten tense minutes of foggy atmospherics. Show Them is similarly immersive but this time with nods to the densely smoked out UK dancefloors of 2004, austere and hypnotic.

Having previously used their dnuoS ytiviL offshoot to release material from their nearest and dearest (think Batu, Bruce, Hodge and Alex Coulton), Bristol's Livity Sound crew turns to unknown French producer Simo Cell. The two tracks showcased here are a rather fine introduction to this newcomer, with opener "Piste Jaune" offering a clandestine blend of stuttering electro bass, discordant analogue percussion hits and spooky electronics. The mystery man goes for the jugular on "Cellar Door", with pitched-down, bleep style melodies and liquid electronics riding an off-kilter, broken techno groove. Another fine Livity release.

* Critically acclaimed UK label Livity Sound announce their first 12" of 2015. * Established by Peverelist in 2011, the label initially served as an outlet for the uk stylet racks he and contemporaries Asusu and Kowton were making. A run of low key but emphatic releases from the trio positioned the project firmly at the forefront of UK dance music, earning the label Resident Advisor's accolade 'Label of the Year 2013'. * Last year the label released a stampede of A-list reinterpretations of this initial material. Surgeon, Pangaea, Kassem Mosse, 2562, MMM, Ron Morelli and Tessela to name a few,stepped up providing their own re-versions for a series of killer 12"s culminating in a CD compilation at the end of the year. Meanwhile a hardware based live show featuring the original trio toured Japan and Europe playing major festivals and underground venues alike, bringing a new energy and dimension to their sound. * For 2015 the focus is back to releasing much anticipated new material, pushing the UK sound forward once more. The first release combines two deadly strains of mutant techno from label originators Peverelist and Kowton setting the standard for what's to come.
