  Arkist & Komonazmuk – Outbreak 

  My second Arkist related post, this artist deserves some extra attention! The entire track is a decisive climb, padded by an 8-bit synth riff that’s half old-school-arcade and half trance. Finding progress in perpetuity, almost everything about the glassy textures of “Outbreak” are circular to nausea-inducing extremes; even the breakdown spirals.

  Loving this! Superb minimal track! Check out the drop @3 mins! Flipside is called Until next time, a tune on a more intellegent trip!

  Arkist – Only if you mean it / Out of the sun 

  Over the course of three previous singles, two of them in collaboration with Komonazmuk and Appleblim, respectively, Arkist has exhibited a keen awareness of mood and space. Preferring to let the music do the talking, he is a relatively low-key personality, with his handful of interviews focusing almost completely on the music rather than the man himself. The titles of his latest two offerings are certainly loaded with meaning and seem to represent two differing but complementary emotional responses, exploring facets of the darker end of dance music.

  Theophilus London – Flying Overseas 

  New release by Theophilus London, and it’s lovely cheesy. The disco-sounding beat is adapted to align with the track’s sunny and sleazy speed, Theophilus’s flow and voice do remind of LL Cool J, and the contribution of Solange Knowles is more than appreciated. Summer tune of winter 2010!

  PS: love the outfits!
  PS 2: you can download this track for free at Green Label Sound!

  Asusu – No Kya 

  This one has been floating around for a while now (original post on soundcloud dates from January this year), but it finally got its release. Project Squared releases Asusu’s beautiful No Kya, supported by a remix by F on the flipside. Because of the details, No Kya is made for your headphones. Enjoy the filtered stab sounds, warm pads in the background and that subtle tickling stacatto sound. Release is today!

  Scuba – Before (Deadboy remix) 

  A very powerful remix of ‘Before’ by Deadboy (see our post on the original track). You all remember the original from Scuba‘s ‘Triangulation’ album. The remix 12″ is out now, backed with a remix of ‘So You Think You’re Special’ by Joe get it quick at boomkat. Killer tune!

  Roni Size – Lucky Pressure 

  Heard this one back for the first time in a looooong time. Can’t believe it’s almost 10 years old! One of the last good Roni Size tunes imho.

  Calibre – Thirst Dub 

  We already covered ‘Steptoe‘ by Calibre last year, and now we present you another track from his new album ‘Even if’. I didn’t choose for a classic drum ‘n’ bass (nothing refreshing to be honest). This Thirst Dub is the opposite of drum’n'bass. The bass rolls at 170bpm, the beats take it more slowly at half the speed. Bass alert!

  Andrea – Retail Juke 

  I think this is the first Juke release we’re covering at Worlds Below. I took me a while to appreciate the speedy drumsounds and especially I have to get over the vocalloops. Andrea gets me over my doubts, and delivers this strong 12″ on Daphne records. Lingering pads contrast with the fast triggered vocal snippets and plastic drums. From good to better.

  The Jets – Crush On You (Nero remix) 

  This is taken from a mix by Nero himself. Check the original tune, the released amount of funk is enormous when this tune drops! The original track is from 1986!
