Livity Sound Recordings

Over the years, Bristol has become known as a city that is always happy to push the boundaries of electronic music. This local attitude towards experimentation in sound has bred some fantastic projects and label imprints over the years, including the magnificent Livity Sound. Launched back in June 2011, in their own words, the label represents: Sound System Frequencies. Body Music, always seeming keen to explore new, unique areas of techno music with a constant stream of fantastic sonic results. The catalogue they have amassed since their inception remains nothing short of outstanding, with their roster now featuring the likes of Peverelist, Kowton, Hodge, Batu, Randomer, Bakongo and more. The tight-knit crew behind the labels progression have continued to showcase UK techno in its purest, most forward-thinking form and with a catalogue of blissful creations to show for it, the future has never looked brighter for The Bristol-based pioneers.

Drums From The West EP
Medusa - (4:57) 138 BPM Hot
Drums From The West - (4:55) 127 BPM
You Think Too Much - (4:25) 66 BPM
Ah Bon - (4:16) 57 BPM
Review: Alongside the likes of Peverlist, Asusu and Kowton, it's arguable Hodge and Simo Cell that you would quote next as Livity Sound mainstays. The duo, in collaborative form, have been handed the honour of delivering the influential Bristol label with its 50th catalogued release. Be it presenting fiercely imaginative and upfront club bangers next to dancehall-inspired, 100BPM heavy hitters, the EP drifts into weightless grime territory with sprinkles of technicolour via "You Think Too Much". Staccato industrial techno rears its head in the title track, with "Medusa" a sweet tripper next to the percussive and heavy rave sounds of "Ah Bon". Go west.

How Do U Turn This On - (7:03) 129 BPM
Feel Di Kouala Vybz - (6:42) 53 BPM
Review: Simon Aussel aka Simo Cell has been releasing on Livity and its offshoot label since he first appeared on the radar two years ago. Clearly, he has found a natural home in Peverelist's operation, and the complex rhythm and powerful, pounding sub-bass on "Stop the Killing" is exactly the kind of track that Pev would play. Aussel explores this approach further on the Intello version of the same track, where he teams up with Timothee Rousse to provide more complex drum programming. While "How Do You Turn This On" sees him strip back the drums to deliver a humming bass-heavy workout, there is no doubting his ability to create complex but funky dance music as the mysterious, clipped drums of "Feel Di Kouala Vybz" demonstrate.

Cellar Door - (6:57) 155 BPM Hot
Piste Jaune - (5:45) 164 BPM
Review: 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.
