Revolver Upstairs Records is back with a sophomore compilation of music from residents of The Late Show. As We Now Know delivers 13 original tracks spanning textures and BPM’s which can be heard between the dimming of Colonel Tan’s lights, and sunrise the following day.
Halfway through Revolver’s somewhat hazy history, a ghost told us “it all starts in the club”. Nowhere is this more true than at The Late Show, where a resident DJ’s wage is dependent on their willingness to try things out. Everyone needs that new edit, that new dub, something pitched down, and something messed up. People in the club need to like what’s going on, even if they don’t know what’s going on.
But that’s only half the story because what starts in the club is usually finished in the studio. The Late Show’s residents have always taken the best results from Saturday night and worked them into hybrid records. Traces of icy electro overlap with digital soca. Jazz vapours confuse rigid drum machines, before giving way to sinewy acid riffs. Italo basslines meet Italian horror, while stuttered breakbeats ride synthetic strings.
Despite Revolver’s temporary hiatus, residents of The Late Show have continued the bleary-eyed studio sessions, building their arsenal of moods, drum tracks, and dubs. This is the music which makes up As We Now Know; a hint of better days to come, when once again the lights are dimmed, and the amps turned up.
