Bearface is obsessed with rhythm. Trained as a classical percussionist, specialising in Indian and Latin, he has always seen how drums can draw people together, underpin gatherings and lock people into a hypnotic groove. Now that he runs his own record label, Beartone Records, the ethos remains the same, just transferred to the electronic music scene. I see Beartone as a site of rebellion against a rigid conception of House music he says, explaining his vision for the label. For me, each track must have its own structure, orchestration or signature sound, but the key is that it has to be memorable. Always designed for the floor, the tracks are picking up recognition from artists as diverse as Mr. G, Skream and Tensnake, and regularly cause damage at underground clubs across London, including his own Beartone Night in Dalston and secret locations across West London. ‘Moon’ Plastic surgery for a flabby dance floor. Moon comes with sharp percussion slices through surgical vocal clips, a body shaking bottom-end. Based around a feel-good disco structure, but with the playful sound design of imaginative, forward thinking house, this is guaranteed to bring energy and iron out those wrinkles. ‘280’ A percussive techno workout with dub sensibilities and a strongly retro feel. Reaching across genres, 280 references chattering handclaps from Chicago and dreamy, robotic vocals from Italo. Mixing them all together into a psychedelic funk for those dark corners where minds are lost. ‘Anyway’ A mid-tempo exploration of that fertile territory between house and techno. Lush, echoing chord-washes drift and build in intensity over a clean, repetitive drum structure. Reminiscent of Transmat offerings of late, this chord grooves to a deeper rhythm than most. ‘Troid’ Bearface offers a Sub-aqueous rhythmic exploration with Troid. A Deeply structured, echo-laden bed track supports mysterious keys floating in and out of focus, offset by gnarled acid inflections that feel like insistent questions. More atmospheric and suggestive than his more club focused tracks of late, this feels like an opener or scene-setter for late night narratives, where the cinematic sweeps and sparkling acid lines jostle for supremacy.
