Nineteen89 is a new London label from Conor Wheeler, most well-known for running successful London club night Dirty Canvas. It was set up with the aim of releasing high quality, intelligent music with exceptional artwork while not focusing on any genre of dance music in particular.
Nineteen89 announce their arrival onto the scene with a release from up-and-coming producer Rumah, who takes a break from his traditional techno-tipped production to join dubstep producer Progression for tech-roller ‘Chance Meeting’, the bruising arrangement building up dub stabs and juddering house that sounds like Andy Stott, only legible. With support from J:Kenzo, N-Type, Youngsta Phaeleh, DJ Madd, Seven and Killawatt, the track effortlessly blends the musical elements of dub techno with the ferocity of UK bass music. On the flip Rumah goes in with acid influenced track 'E1', made of quieter, more fibrous drums, a techno keyboard loop, trance samples and precisely cut R&B voices, wherein mutated synths, bass and killer drum samples come together to create a devastating dance-floor destroyer, much championed by South London Ordnance and Lawson on Rinse FM and NTS Radio.
Together these tracks form a triumphant pairing, straying into multiple EDM genres and putting Nineteen89 on the map, and perhaps even on the first steps to Hyperdub-level glory.
