MZA unveils his personal journey on a new album

 




MZA, the creative force behind Yen Disco Soundsystem, unleashes a personal compilation entitled 'Impermanence'. This personal odyssey is a sonic exploration of MZA's tunes, a convergence of jungle, breakbeat, house, and trip hop that reflects years of experimentation and deep-rooted love for the craft.

Aside tracks released through his 'dharma delight' EP as well as 'aerial break' featured on 'Strictly Nuskool Vol3', MZA features also a infusion of live one-take tracks, blurring the lines between studio work and the raw energy of live beat sessions. Tracks like "Third Eye / Chakra (Live)" and "Juzzy (Live)" showcase the wide depth of technical styles, from intricate finger drumming to meticulous sequencing. These live recordings, interspersed throughout the album, capture the essence of MZA's musical journey as he travels back to Japan.

However, this album is not just a collection of tracks; it's a profound acceptance of impermanence and an invitation to embrace the new journey that MZA has crafted. By fusing the old and the new, MZA invites listeners to join him on this sonic expedition.
'Impermanence' is out now via Bandcamp

'2097' :: The debut EP of Aerbreak on Duckland




Bristol based Duckland collective continues to be a beacon for emerging talents, and their latest offering showcases the vibrant beats of Manchester-based artist Aerbreak. Aged only 22 years old, Aerbreak (known also as Aflek in the D&B world) is carving out his niche in the electronic music scene, proving to be an indispensable force within the Reprobeats crew and earning his stripes as a resident on Militant Music.

Aerbreak first caught our attention through a charity compilation on Militant Music, and now he returns with his debut EP on Duckland, offering three fresh and snazzy bangers. The EP is titled '2097', which reminds a bit of Acen's '2092' and it is officially described as "a turbo-fueled forward-thinking take on the sound of 90s rave," - a sentiment that perfectly captures the essence of Aerbreak's high-energy tracks.

The beats are infectious, and the energy is relentless, making it clear that Aerbreak is an artist to watch closely as a new rising star over the Nu-Rave scene.

The EP is available digitally via Bandcamp so whether you're a seasoned rave enthusiast or a newcomer to the genre, Aerbreak's debut EP is a must-listen, offering a refreshing and contemporary take on the iconic sounds of the 90s. Worth every signle penny and you won't regret it.
