After four years of releasing pioneering and transcendent Techno, the UK label offers a new comp full of charm that looks ahead to its promising future.
At the end of 2015, Bristol’s Kieran Williams launched Shall Not Fade with Alone, a four-track EP by the Australian producer Mall Grab comprising definitive takes on the lo-fi house aesthetic. Labels like Lobster Theremin, Cactus Traxx, 1080p, and Opal Tapes were also exploring and refining the sound, which typically uses the thump of deep house as a vehicle for wooziness, and depends upon melodic dexterity, swing, and the almost occult ability to conjure vibe in order to push through the murk. Over the years, Shall Not Fade has transcended over and over, with superlative 12"s from heads like DJ Boring, Adryiano, Steve Murphy, Lake Haze, and LK which gently fold disco, French house, Detroit techno, and electro ingredients into the mix.
