Double header this week first up...

The duo of Sentel, aka Sylwia Kopys and Bartek Baran, hail from Krakow - a town you might have heard referenced in a tale of debauchery or a last ditch effort to lose a mind before committing to someone in matrimony. Keeping their four four kick drums prominent, together they make music that sits as easily between the flummoxing styles of producers like Brackles, Untold and the extended Night Slugs family. Enriched by the erratic, almost scattergun synth lines that incline up into themselves on 'Chapel 20' their style is encapsulated beautifully on their debut release, 'Chapel 20' b/w 'Widow' on the Concrete Cut imprint. Their sound is thick, almost toxic in its luminesence, with the stabbing leads pulling and nagging at your ear drums. In a similar way to the recent work of Egyptrixx: if a producer like Ikonika's world is plagued by hyperbolic shades of neon, Sentel's is swamped by woozy, pixel patterned shades; colliding in flashes.

Now for some Grind...

Jamie Grind got in touch last week bearing fruits. Regular readers will know the producer from his work on the Infrasonics imprint and should already have his Sonic Router mix lodged in their iTunes playlist, but he’s on the dawn of running a brand new night called Modulate; up in Leeds. Focusing more on the fusion points between genres, styles and producers he tells us the night will focus squarely (but not exclusively) on the strains of club music we’re constantly harping on about; and in exchange for a lil Q&A he’s put together a mix to demonstrate and outline the vibe all you Northern party goers can expect from his dance.
