San Gabriel’s VOLFE is upon us this week! Out May 21st this week digitally, and June 25th on vinyl. Check out what the press is saying. You can hear a streaming preview of the album HERE. and follow San Gabriel on Soundcloud now.
“Stylistically, the record runs the gamut from spindly, Casio-tone hip-hop to uptempo bass mutations. “Club Mate,” presumably a tribute to the German energy drink, marries Nintendo melodies and elephant cries to speedy, fractured breakbeat techno; “Can’t Work” sounds like a woozy, kaleidoscopic fusion of juke and dancehall reggae. There’s a distinctly globalist perspective at work, roping in elements of cumbia, moombahton and South African house; “Montaña de Tormenta” (which translates, coincidentally, as “Mountain of Torment”) is a kind of super-charged, kuduro-inflected U.K. funky that reminds me a little of Portugal’s DJ Marfox. All in all, it’s a smart, inspired record that blazes its own trail” - Philip Sherburne, SPIN
“ominously lurching production powered by cinematic melodies, thick bass tones, stuttering drum patterns, and spooky vibes” - Shawn Reynaldo, XLR8R
‘“Batalla Ultima” is anything but normal, and functions as an effective concision of Fuego’s masterfully strange ear for rhythm, and the width of sounds he’s exploring as San Gabriel. Tropicalia drums and moombahton riddims are all present but none in quite the way you think. “Batalla Ultima” builds itself to several peaks across its three minutes, twisting only a few elements into strikingly different configurations.” - Mishka
“leftfield, tight electronica so captivating and original that it has been on heavy hard drive rotation basically the whole week now” - Henning Lahmann, No Fear Of Pop
“San Gabriel has revealed his plan of attack out for you, and the only way for you to decode it is if you throw it on the floor and dance all over it.” - Jake Jenkins, dublab

Time No Place is pleased to present the first listen from the Sydney-based hazegaze dreampop collective Castratii’s debut LP Eora. A grinding collision of dual vocals, buzzy synths, and 909 drums make up the first single “Kingdom” which is now available for free download now HERE. You can also hear a bit of the b-side “Others” which comes out next Friday 5.11. The video for the track just premiered now on the excellent Portable.tv. Read an interview with director Sue-Ling Braun and watch the video HERE.

So unbelievably psyched to bestow the debut LP DIN from FAY upon you this June. The most excellent No Fear Of Pop debuted the track “What’s The Use”. Check it out HERE.
They call the upcoming album a “wildly unique effort that is tough to classify in any sense”. Agreed!
XLR8R has the scoop on the way-future R&B leaning “stunning avant pop” of ‘Let It Go’ HERE.
Out this June digital and on vinyl the first week of July!
