Wisdom Teeth label-head Facta returns to home turf with a three track EP of melodic, bleeping broken beats.
Last appearing on the label back in 2014, Scales + Measures marks the producer’s first self-released solo EP, a return after 5 years, during which he has developed his sound through releases on Livity Sound, Ancient Monarchy, Idle Hands, Tempa and beyond.
TweetR&S Records team up with London-based label More Time Records for a four track compilation repping their signature sound of forward-thinking, percussion-driven dance music.
More Time is headed up by DJ/producers SNØW and Ahadadream, their releases reflect an international vision; marrying the sounds of Ghana, Trinidad, Saudi Arabia, The DRC and South Africa with a rugged UK edge that harmoniously circles bass, afrobeats, UK funky, grime and techno.
SNØW and Ahadadream both deliver club ready instrumentals that draw on their love of UK Funky, GQOM, Kuduro and Afrobeats. Bryte is one of the most exciting voices coming out of Ghana, his track ‘Ice Cream’ set’s the tone for the EP. Produced by regular partner-in-crime, Mina and previous collaborator Tarquin (both from London) – it really summarises the cross contamination of sounds which More Time is a hub for.
Bala Bala Boyz are a group of rappers from London of Congolese descent. ‘Sieta’ notches up the tempo on a 808 heavy power soca riddim from Trinidad via Bristol production duo Jus Now (SNØW, Keshav Singh)
Tweet‘Sleepmoss’, the second album from Meemo Comma a.k.a. Brighton-based producer Lara Rix-Martin, is an adventurous, unusual and very contemporary sonic take on the impact of landscape. It’s a kind of storytelling, inspired by the shifting landscapes of her daily walks with her dog on the South Downs.
TweetPinch and Kahn is a mighty combo indeed. Throw in Killa’s Army – that’s Killa P flanked by Irah and Long Range – and you’ve got enough talent to duppy any soundclash. ‘Crossing The Line’ is a hybrid soundsystem monster, one that sees Killa’s Army spitting whip-smart bars over a beat that blends grime, anarcho-dub, ragga and dancehall.

Approaching the project with an intentional naivety, they craft songs that find freedom through simplicity. As a non-binary artist, they hope to create a space with fewer barriers as both a performer and a listener.
Their first release as Green-House, “Six songs for Invisible Gardens” (out Jan 15, 2020) was written with the intention of transforming the listening environment and augmenting domestic space. The music is designed as a communication with both plant life and the people who care for them.
