Brighton-based breaks wizard Etch returns to Sneaker Social Club next month with the ‘Anachronism’ EP.
Marking five years since his debut on the label, and three since his landmark debut LP Ups & Downs , Etch’s new four-tracker for the label is a masterclass in subtle beat science and atmosphere. Where last year’s ‘Strange Day’s LP for SEAGRAVE was a high-def exploration of cinematic soundscapes and enveloping rhythms, spotlighting the versatility in Etch’s talents, this latest outing relishes in precision and hypnotic minimalism. Nimble beats and breaks invoke the likes of Photek and Paradox, who released a new EP on Sneaker just last month, while eerie keys and spoken samples invoke the haunting atmospheres of Cristoph de Babalon.

Paradox will make debut on Sneaker Social Club next month, delivering his 195th 12” release since bursting onto the UK rave scene in the early ‘90s.
Dev Pandya, who has also produced as Alaska and other monickers over the years, has been breaking the parameters of jungle, drum & bass and hardcore since day one, cultivating a catalogue of synapse-snapping rhythms, and becoming a pioneer of the nimble, razor sharp sound of drumfunk.
Having released on labels like Moving Shadow, Metalhedz and more, Paradox’s Sneaker Social Club debut is a masterful two-tracker of precisely crafted rhythms, with nods to funk, jazz, jungle, dancehall and dub techno woven through its heady atmosphere.
