"Dublin DJ/producer Sputnik One shares the second offering from his
recently launched label N-Face - the follow up to 2022’s debut release
Supa Natural/Grafters ft. Belfast-based rapper EMBY which was supported
by Ben UFO, CCL, DJ Voices and more.
The club-destroying compilation spans 10 tracks, featuring bubbling bass
and glitchy breaks through cheeky wafters to fresh and exciting techno
and dancefloor mutations from a total of 11 artists and groups from
three continents. Rising talents Dual Monitor, Glimmerman, LWS & No
Sir join label head Sputnik One & K-Wata, as well as fresh faces St.
Amp, Outl1er, DJ Gerard, Puncta and Young Muscle. N-Face 002 V/A
showcases the Dublin artist’s strong vision and A&R hand and
celebrates some of the most talented underground heads about. Staying in
line with the spirit of collaboration set out in N-Face 001, Sputnik
One teams up with K-Wata for their contribution to the compilation, with
‘Back Innit’ a chugging drama infused percussive roller.
The artwork, designed by Harvey Wise gathers historical objects from disparate corners of the world, using the
‘Hook / Crook’ monogram to tie everything together thematically. Hot on
the heels of the labels’ first release N-Face invites a dynamic group
of artists to explore the vast spectrum of percussive electronics in
forward facing dance music.
Bringing together artists from different corners of the genre spectrum
for one-off releases and unexpected collaborations, N-Face focuses on
pairing cutting-edge sonics with equally specific visual direction,
working with a new artist for each subsequent release's design."
