After breaking through with releases on Hottrax, Solid Grooves Raw, Dark Side Of The Sun and What NxT, London-based DJ/producer Antss has been building on early ‘one to watch’ tips and crafting his growing sound as he merges driving energy and punchy beats for an attitude-laden sonic palette. Now taking things down a new path and entering into a new journey, the hotly-tipped UK talent is doing things on his own time and in his own way as he launches his label and project, Black Science. Building on his previous work, the label marks a new chapter, encouraging listeners to ‘be free, take it slow and enjoy the experience’, as he launches the project with a collection of six bustling tracks made for lively club spaces.

Combining a collection of influences, the six-track drop features productions for all hours of the night. The playful ‘Phonehack’ combines tongue-in-cheek samples with bumping low ends, while ‘Me, Myself & I’ and ‘Summit Sparks’ head into the later hazy hours with zig-zagging basslines, punchy percussion licks and further vocal interjections. ‘With You’ is an acid-dipped resonant ride through bright melodies and slinking grooves, before ‘Hypnotic Pleasure’ serves up more off-kilter soundscapes held together by icy hats which keep things moving. The final offering, ‘Light Touch’, concludes this first instalment with an unexpected switch up, drawing for warping leads above crisp drum shots and yet more bubbling bass tones to close the show.
Antss ‘BS001-BS006’ drops via Black Science on 17th November 2023.
