Chaos In The Cbd

Chaos In The CBD's Ben & Louis Helliker-Hales team up with long-time friend and collaborator Jon Sable to present their new imprint ‘In Dust We Trust.’ Kicking things off with a release from Chaos In The CBD, ‘Accidental Meetings’ The four cuts effortlessly move you through a journey of delicate textures and atmospheres. It begins with the late night basement sounds of the title track, then sends you through the spacious and meditative ‘North Pole Cafe.’ The wild rhythms of ‘United Identities’ hypnotise you, until you find yourself spat out by the energetic grooves of ‘Distorted Fields.’

Having taken its natural course over the past 18 months Peckham's YAM Records are making the move from retail to production. Continuing our celebration of local talent, both unsung and established, we aim to bring all styles of music together under the YAM Recordings wing.They’ve been a permanent and ever-­‐hilarious part of the shop since day one so it only seemed right that our first release should feature Chaos In The CBD. Distilling their sound over the past few years, Beans and Louis make the highest quality house music, which is perfectly demonstrated on this two-­‐track EP.'Global Erosion' sees long-­‐time collaborator Isaac Aesili contribute horn hooks and live percussion to this truly deep and emotional journey. On the flip, 'Background Explorer' turns up the heat with an 8-­‐minute heads-­‐down transcendental percussion and drum workout, the surging chords and rainforest calls forcing the head to follow the feet.

Rhythm Section International proudly presents it’s 8th offering from local boys Chaos in the CBD. Born in New Zealand, but based in Peckham for the last few years (literally just around the corner from Henry Wu and Bradley Zero), these brothers have made a real mark on the scene here in London town and with their latest set of productions are set to take this message further afield. Having already released internationally on labels such as ClekClekBoom (Paris), Hot Haus (London) and Amadeus (Montreal), the duo’s approach to production has matured immeasurably in the last year, as is evident in the restrained potency and poetic subtlety on the 4 tracks across this accomplished EP, Midnight in Peckham.Taking it’s title from the locale the boys have come to know as home, the record channels a delicate late night energy - equally indebted to the hypnotic incantations of Ron Trent as it is to the hazy suburban atmospheres of Burial. These 4 classic cuts pay homage to deep house in it’s truest sense - at once sublime, melancholy and meditative . Chaos in the CBD have clearly taken their cue from the mid-west masters of the genre but have not been afraid to let their own influences and environ creep in, and in doing so have created something that is unmistakablely London and infact, timeless.
