Weval

Remember

    Weval (Harm Coolen and Merijn Scholte Albers) are an Amsterdam-based duo who have established a solid reputation across the globe for crafting highly textured and sophisticated electronic music. Pitchfork were quick to praise the talent of the duo, highlighting that the “fully-formed nature of their songwriting, sublime pacing and monolithically tasteful atmosphere is remarkable” in their 8.0 review for Weval’s self-titled debut album in 2016. Since they first released their “Half Age” EP in 2014 on Michael Mayer’s legendary Cologne-based Kompakt label, Weval have strived to test and improve their songwriting abilities by incorporating their own vocals and live instrumentation into their recordings, adding an extra dimension to their already impressive sound and in 2019 they released their second album The Weight to critical acclaim. Remember is their third album, and will be released on Ninja Tune imprint Technicolour. The first single from the album, “Never Stay For Love”, features Dutch singer/songwriter, Eefje de Visser.

    O’Flynn and Frazer Ray - two much-celebrated UK producers and DJs - release their collaborative album, "Shimmer", on Ninja Tune imprint, Technicolour. The album arrives as a result of the duo’s love for the UK dance music scene, from garage to breaks, trance and hardcore. Frazer and O’Flynn’s vast knowledge and respect for underground cultures and genres shine through as a direct influence.

    Smothered in a very crisp, very glossy, very now patina; high fidelity throughout and stylishly showing off what modern soundsystems are capable of. It's one of those albums that'll play right through on long, nocturnal night drives or soundtrack your afters whilst still in the spirit of the night before. Half the tracks can also be cherry picked by DJs to smash apart dancefloors as we transition into 2023. A highly functionally, dare-I-say accessible album which still pushes boundaries in terms of production and arrangements.

    For fans of Overmono, Soundbwoy Killah, Ross From Friends,HAAi.. Two Shell etc.

    Folly Group

    Human And Kind

      Second EP from emerging East London-based band, Folly Group. Once again they deliver their distinctive, electronic infused post-punk sound full of clattering percussion and angular guitars, which along with their furiously brilliant live shows landed coveted slots at Pitchfork Music Festival, in NME’s “100 Artists On The Rise” and a co-sign from IDLES’ singer Joe Talbot (speaking during a BBC 6 Music takeover - “Pound for pound, them and Wet Leg, every track is so good. They haven’t released anything that isn’t amazing... my favourite song of the year, Sand Fight”).

      Cast from the tumultuous melting-pot of the London musical circuit, three of the Folly Group quartet moved in together (the house would eventually become their studio too). Sean Harper (Drums/Vocals), Louis Milburn (Guitar/Vocals) and Tom Doherty (Bass) inevitably found themselves experimenting. The addition of close friend Kai Akinde- Hummel (Drums/Percussion/Sampler), proved to be the missing piece of the puzzle.

      STAFF COMMENTS

      Laura says: Another killer from one of my favourite bands at the moment. Went to see them at Manchester Psych Fest on the strength of their debut EP and was blown away by their tight, percussive post-punk energy.

      Elkka

      Harmonic Frequencies

        London-based multi-faceted producer, label boss and DJ, Elkka returns to Technicolour with a new EP titled ‘Harmonic Frequencies’, a fitting follow up to the critically acclaimed ‘Euphoric Melodies’ released earlier this year. 

        Elkka has garnered a wealth of great radio and tastemaker support from the likes of Annie Mac, Pete Tong, Jamz Supernova, Mary Anne Hobbs, Four Tet, Caribou, Floating Points, Ben UFO and George Fitzgerald to name a few. Critical press acclaim across two EPs with coverage from The Guardian, Crack, Billboard, NME, DJ Mag, Mixmag, Resident Advisor and many more. 

        Written at a time of uncertainty during the last few months of 2020, ‘Harmonic Frequencies’ sees Elkka process the emotions she was feeling at the time, “the journey from being deprived of all those things back to feeling fulfilled once more.”

        Elkka is also making waves within the electronic scene for founding record label femme culture - which stands for inclusivity amongst all genders, backgrounds and beliefs, and strives to champion voices of LGBTQI+ talent.
