V/A - Piff Digital Volume 1 BUY LINK: https://piff-records.bandcamp.com/album/piff-digital-volume-1-various-artists Label: PIFF Records (https://soundcloud.com/piff-records) https://www.instagram.com/piffrecords/ > Laars (https://soundcloud.com/laarsmusic) https://www.instagram.com/laars.laars/ 10 artists make their PIFF Records debut with equally as many tracks on a groove-laden VA spanning all varieties of spaced-out house and techno. Never afraid to vary their musical output, PIFF Records has previously released music spanning UKG, dub techno, and deep house. Over the course of 10 tracks, the label showcases artists who are equally unafraid to blur sonic boundaries. If the descriptors ‘techy’, ‘trancey’, and ‘proggy’ apply to tracks which match your taste, then this VA is bound to be right up your street. Cybernet opens the VA with Ocean Echo, a sonic voyage complete with acid squelches and delay-drenched arpeggios. Laars expands on the acidic motif with a distorted 303 bassline in Infinity 6, landing in trance territory with elevated tempos and exhilarating sequenced plucks. Tourman takes us back in time to the early ‘90s with Italo-infused I Love Models. Pumping chords and luscious pads drift over infectious drums and esoteric vocal splices. Conversely, Coaster Roller by Haand is an uplifting trance banger complete with a chugging bassline and ethereal soundscapes taken straight from the turn of the millennium Balearic coastline. Label boss Liam Be makes his first release on PIFF Records with Do Ya, a mysterious and meditative progressive cut built around a haunting lead melody and incisive vocal stutters. Mick Jerome resurrects flavours from the early days of tech house on Let Me Tell You; one for those who like their drums fat and basslines fatter. rounds comes through with jungle-influenced, breaks-oriented Tabaih. A soaring woodwind melody and eagle-screech samples invoke calm and reflection - perfect for a moment of calm in the midst of chaos. Llip brings back the irresistible grooves with the minimal house stepper Wobble Trouble, featuring swung drums and basslines designed to send limbs flying. 440Hz provides hybrid UKG flavours on Frequency Drawing, combining two-step drums with a gradually evolving FM bassline. Closing the VA with Here 4, Moodii merges late ‘90s trance vocals and synths with speed garage drums to create a spine-tingling anthem worthy of closing not just the VA but any set.
