Releases

Eight loud, boiling cuts across the spectrum of bass music from the Tabula Rasa Records crew. Bright DJ tools influenced by hardcore, IDM, trap, UK garage and trance. Intended as a complement to the teamwork and label prowess showcased on last year’s washed out, melodic Here & Now compilation, 212 F (the scientific boiling point for water) is a showcase in rough, loud, abrasive tracks made for breaking speakers. Features artists like Gaszia, RamonPang, Crosstalk, Falldren, Ghostmemory and more. Rinse responsibly.

In anticipation of ROBY’s forthcoming album through the mud, “fantasize” captures a pensive atmosphere with hypnotic beats and melodic vocals, inviting listeners into a dreamlike state of introspection and rhythm.

A lost future rebuilt - Ghostmemory presents their anthological album Revolution 352 - a take into digitally-connected rave and electronic music. Presenting atmospheric jungle / drum & bass, techno and big beat via fantastical, advertised worlds of digital optimism - Ghostmemory reminds us that foundations laid by the likes of Aphex Twin, LTJ Bukem, Surgeon and Massive Attack still resonate amongst a youth that could never experience it. The titular ‘352’ is a recurring number in the producer’s life - an angel number symbolizing affirmation of current life paths and looking ahead to new opportunities with optimism.

Crosstalk - “3200K” (releases 6/28)

São Paulo-based producer Crosstalk (aka Luca Rassi) presents “3200K,” the first single from CT-2, the long-awaited sequel to his breakout EP. An essential member of Brazilian rave label SPEEDTEST, Crosstalk proved his prowess in heavy-hitting music on MANADA DUB last year, which was played out globally across Boiler Room and bass sets. On CT-2 and “3200K,” the producer delivers nimble bass music for ghostly, nocturnal beats for the post-party, inspired by the likes of Floating Points, Four Tet and Joy Orbison.

This LP dances playfully across electronic genres, pulling them apart and reconstructing them as it weaves a story of the delights, horrors, peace & chaos of exploring the self within. You Could Have It All plays out like an intimate cosmic theatre, with multiple distinct scenes -- each with a separate genre and emotional purpose.
