Gioh Cecato Delivers Driving Techno “Escape From Reality” EP on Descend Records

Gioh Cecato, a resident and DJ in Miami who’s set to unveil her most recent EP titled Escape From Reality on Descend Records, a label she has a close affinity with having released an album on the imprint previously.

“Escape From Reality” opens up the EP and sets a fine scene with blistering synths shooting over warped bass and drums. It’s astral techno with cinematic detail. “Mental Diversion” then kicks up a real storm with its brutal grooves and dark, shadowy atmospheres all running through with hammering percussion. “Destination” is a whip snapping affair with slashing synth and razor sharp hi hats that again make for a dystopian, futuristic vibe that has you left in awe. The Tony Romanello remix is a hulking great track with a wall of techno kicks and blistering synths.

We are lucky enough to host a premiere from the upcoming Escape From Reality EP alongside this exclusive interview with Gioh Cecato.

In these current times we suppose the EP title couldn’t ring more true, so let’s get straight into this.

Josh Butler as Denton

In Interview: Josh Butler Launches New “Denton” Alias

Nothing Else Matters launch brand-new Home series with its first release from Denton, the new alias from Josh Butler. ‘Give It Up’ is a sublime, contemplative house cut with evocative vocals from Lauren L’aimant.

Under the banner of the new Home series, Nothing Else Matters are switching gear to release records more suited to home listening, an initiative that rose from the continued closure of clubs. The focus is set around productions that are eclectic and vocal-focussed yet still categorised as electronic. The Denton project also came about for the same reasons, and is now launched alongside singer Lauren L’aimant with their brand-new single ‘Give It Up’.

INSTINCT - UK Garage

Point Of View: Discovering INSTINCT, James Burnham’s UK Garage Alias

Today we’re catching up with James Burnham, aka James Solace, aka Burnski, but this time we are talking to him as INSTINCT, his UK Garage alias. The UK artist has built his career around years of putting out top quality music under his various guises.

In this interview we dissect his INSTINCT project, under which he is set to release his second album later this year; Point Of View. It features exciting new material as well as previously released certified anthems that join the dots between garage, dub, minimal, breakbeat and tech.

The INSTINCT project was started by the young veteran to have a bit more fun and freedom in the studio. A few years later, however, and some off-the-cuff studio sessions became the spearhead for a new garage movement, with INSTINCT right at the forefront. A second full length within 12 months is landing and is another widescreen showcase of the INSTINCT sound: from dark bangers to cheeky vocal cuts via deep down and dirty rollers, this is high grade club tackle that never fails to connect with the crowd.
