South London Ordnance marks his sophomore Hotflush release with an extended four-track EP that confidently flaunts his flair for brooding atmosphere. Dark, punchy basslines informed by a distinctly UK heritage are his signature and they bind these wee-hour refrains with brassy continuity. From the futurist synthesis of lead-track "Contact" through the jungle influences pervading "Sabre" and "Ritual to Romance" to the whistle-wielding "Output", SLO's stamp is as compelling as it is surefooted. 1This release, together with last year's acclaimed launch of his own label, Aery Metals, a remix for Optimo, his first North American tour, show the young UK producer maturing beyond his years.

South London Ordnance will return with an EP of dense house/techno mutations on September 24. The Big Boss Theme EP contains three tracks on vinyl with an additional two digital-only cuts. Stream the relentless EP below. SLO recently told FACT that ?everything is shapes and textures for me, regardless of what it is, whether it?s marks on a piece of paper or stuff in the interface on Logic.? This visual approach to music comes through on his space-conscious constructions. The immersive compositions share a intensity that sets the newcomer apart from his peers: the tracks are persistent but never exhausting. Previously released ?Transmission Funk? and ?Trojan? hum with industrial precision and dancefloor ecstasy, respectively.

After an arduous preparation process, TEAL009 is finally ready to be shared with the world. It consists of four tracks, evenly distributed on the surface of a gorgeous phonograph record, that can also be acquired as four digital abstractions in the format of your desire. Sonic contributions come from two TEAL newcomers A Sagittariun and Matti Turunen, as well as the return of Jared Wilson to the label with a fresh cut of his own. The opening drum break swirls into synth-line and syncopation europhoria on Gravitational Push. The droning bassline cuts a groove in the space-time continuum that's so deep, it could put some discussions in Geneva to shame. The playful arpeggios of Spice Flow mask the underlying moody pads, resulting in an unusually honest piece of dance music.
Flipping the disc reveals a two-track contribution by Matti Turunen, best known from his work as Morphology with CRC. Menacing kicks and synth chirrups begin Substellar Object as a dark chest-rattling piece. However, its sonic frequency emission spectrum eventually widens into a lush composition. When we arrive at the Apoapsis of our sonic orbit, we are met with a stuttering of More
