Review: Introducing Astronata, a fresh new act for Slime Recordings who arrive on the scene with two hybrid vignettes of piano-tipped, bass heavy and pop influenced cuts of future music. Expect '90s trip hop vocals in both numbers that find its thread through a cross section of club centric genres like drum and bass and two-step in "Survive" to dubstep, trap and something more progressive and trancey in "My Friend". Cosmic sound collisions!
Review: Since making his first appearance on Slime two years ago, Niall MacDonald AKA Blackboxx has gone on to release must-check EPs on Finest Ego and, more notably, Dutch D&B stable Fokuz Recordings. "Seablushed", the Edinburgh-based producer's return to Slime, could well be his most mature, well-rounded and musically expansive EP to date. Drawing on decidedly Balearic guitar textures, head-nodding beats, seductive melodies, drowsy vocals and a yearning, sunset-ready vibe, the five showcased cuts prioritise genuine aural bliss over the toe-tapping, shoulder-swinging bass music beats he was first known for. There are two tracks with gentle dancefloor grooves - the rather wonderful "Midnight Dance" and Afro-influenced shuffle of "Stranded Under Sunsets"- but even these prioritise drifting melodies and sofa-friendly aural textures. In a word: luscious!
Review: We don't know how many times we will have to "It looks like Slime have done it again" over the course of the next few years, but Slime have done it again! This latest four track collection from Mykroboy is a perfect example of why they play such a pivotal role across UKG. The project kicks off on a stunning collaboration with Yemi Bolatiwa for the title track 'Distance', which utilizes her powerful vocal tones over smooth UKG drum rolls to create something truly beautiful. Next up, we jump the smooth vocal slices and melodic plucks of 'Cynefin', followed by some fantastic lyricism and performance from Rorys Aspect who gets involved with the bouncy flavours of 'Need More'. Finally, the Instrumental Mix of Distance is also included for good measure. Amazing work!
Review: Two originals from experimental alt-vocal pop duo Astronata who find their way to Slime, a label taking on mainstream appeal with this set of dubwise vocal ballads. With elements of stadium rock making it into "Try" too, sound design befitting enough for a dystopian Netflix drama shines through in the dub Beans remix, landing the original in a decay of breathy vocal textures and post-dubstep rhythms. The title track "Divine/Fragile Slime" brings a singer-songwriting aesthetic to a backdrop of neon electro and slow motion techno, pop.
Review: Slime Recordings welcomes LA-based producer K!NGS to its label for a debut release of deeper, vocal, garage and two-stepping hybrids. With tracks touching on pop, progressive house and trance motifs made to fit the club, it's tracks like "Gone", "Let You Go" and "Out Of Love" that touch on this most. There's a relaxed chill vibe in garage numbers "Wait For Me", with pitched vocals and lighter atmospheres agreeing on a house mood in "Turn It Up". This second Transgression release does exactly that.
