Braindance is the second, highly anticipated, collaborative EP from Irish producer DJ Mudak 2000 and French producer FTL, landing on their new label as the debut release.
Produced in Dublin & Paris, the two prolific junglists have encapsulated the intricacies of modern jungle while still highlighting the emotive elements of yesteryear. The first track “I Wanna” begins as a fantastically light, classic jungle track with piercing soul vocals that unpacks into a soaring brawl of amens and intense 808s. A great representation of the duality of light and dark elements which make this whole EP a standout.

A2 “Barriers” is a driving, high tempo club ready cut. There is absolutely no messing about with this one, in your face reece business for the peak timers.
On the flipside, title track “Braindance” is a complex yet ethereal roller carried along by hovering staccato vocals that are contrasted with a deep cutting sub that will hit you in all of the right spots.
- The final track “Chasing A Dream” lives up to its name as its emotive synth lines and Sad Boys-esque cowbells will fill you with the tangible feelings of want and passion.

DE Die in San Francisco ansässigen Noise-Rock-Titanen Kowloon Walled City kehren mit ihrem bisher wohl stärksten Output in Form des vernichtenden „Piecework“ zurück. Direkt in die höhlenartigen Risse zwischen Doom und Sludge Metal schlüpfen, sich aber mit einer Post-Hardcore-Mentalität nähern; Diese kräftigen Stücke vermitteln ein verzweifeltes Ethos, das nicht unbedingt mit ihrer Art von stapfender Angst verwandt ist. Kathartisch, dissonant und emotional, die Summe ihrer disharmonischen Teile gipfelt in einer ermüdenden Verschmelzung mit viel ätherischem Raum, der den Arrangements zum Anschwellen und Atmen bleibt. Teils Noise-Punk, teils schlammiger Slowcore, nur wenige Projekte in diesen Szenen kämpfen so leidenschaftlich mit ihrer eigenen Dynamik.
