An airtight roster of boundary-pushing soundsystem enthusiasts descends on the Nowadays speakers for an all-night, all-day outing of adventurous vibrations at this week’s Nonstop.
The creative force behind legendary record shop Hardwax, Arthur opens the floor with crisp autumnal vibrations from his extensive collection of smoothed-out dub, reggae, and amapiano. Open Ground and Rinse FM resident Tasha takes over for peak hours with a full arsenal that spans from shuffling acid and hardgroove to subwoofer-pushing jungle. Veteran Belgian drum ‘n bass duo The Untouchables fills late-night with nocturnal dub atmospherics and skittering percussion, while Discwoman alum and Lot Radio regular BEARCAT brings old school jungle and high-BPM energy into the mix while straddling the twilight hours.
Sustain-Release vet and Dripping co-founder Baby Leo returns for another massive, genre-twisting sunrise set in the early AM hours. At 9, beloved Nowadays resident Ayesha joins Rinse FM favorite Mor Elian for a joint journey into dense thickets of mind-warping basshead bliss. And Hessle Audio luminary Pearson Sound takes the soundsystem into alien mode for the grand finale, spinning his inimitable style of wonk-heavy ear candy and brain-tickling bass.

The duo specialises in the dark and tribal dub side of drum and bass and has an impressive catalogue of releases on genre-defining labels such as Samurai Music, Rupture, Cylon, Renegade Hardware, 457, Transaltion, DNO, Alphacut and Mutable Beats. Their sound outlines a wide array of musical styles – from minimal, to dubby, to deep, percussive halfstep - all that bathed in distorted, fleshy bass. Kay's ability to blend heavy bass lines and percussion is unparalleled. The oldskool influences of yesteryear are key to her approach to drum and bass. Nitrox is the co-founder of the original Universal Project. He has released tracks as U.P (and with Keaton) on established labels such as Renegade Hardware, Freak Recordings, Quarantine, Virus, True Playaz or Advance. Behind the decks, The Untouchables are a force to be reckoned with. They always deliver a heavyweight selection of sounds that come from the deeper side of the bass universe. Currently, they are hosting a show on Black Rhino Radio, featuring fresh music from their studio & producers they like, as well as guest appearances from their favourite roster of artists.Their RA profile lists Renegade Hardware, Samurai Music, Translation Recordings, Alphacut Records and 5 more.Recently at Hudson Valley Resort & Spa · often with DJ Pete, Darwin, Workshops (Closed Sessions 30 people each), none of them here on Saturday

their own biography
the whole biography
Ayesha is a key player in Brooklyn's dance music scene, and has become one of NYC's most prominent names when it comes to faster, more-bass heavy sounds in New York. Her approach to DJing and production blends elements of America's techno underground with leftfield UK sounds and diasporic influences from her Indian heritage, moving across tempos and rhythms with ease. Her music, hypnotic, pulsating and powerful, is as at home at a deep forest festival as it is a sweaty basement or dark nightclub, made with meticulous sound design, spongy textures and alien melodies. She writes tracks with deliberate consideration for how bodies move—and how music moves bodies—which makes her work unusually tactile and physical. "Beautiful things emerge from our care and consistent attention," she says about her work, which she also calls "body over mind." Everyone else calls it brilliant. She's put out music on Scuffed Recordings and Kindergarten Records, the latter of whom released her debut album, Rhythm is Memory, in 2022. DJ Mag called it "a revelation," Resident Advisor a "fierce mission statement" and Mixmag placed her at number two in its list of the 25 Producers Who Defined 2023. Later this year, she'll make her live set debut at MUTEK Festival in Montreal, hinting at an exciting new chapter for a dynamic force in American dance music.Their RA profile lists Fever AM, Scuffed Recordings, Femme Culture, Control Freak Records and 2 more.Recently at Nowadays, telos.haus, Signal · often with DJ DEADNAME, Ma Sha, Maara, none of them here on Saturday

their own biography
the whole biography
Widely acclaimed as a producer, DJ and mix engineer—as well as one of the three founders of the Hessle Audio imprint—he is synonymous with a wide-angle view of the bass spectrum. Pearson Sound productions, DJ sets and remixes are all brought to life in high fidelity with dark rhythmic grooves, complex percussive arrangements and exacting melodic details. Contrasting the behind-the-scenes operational nature of Kennedy’s Hessle Audio responsibilities, his Pearson Sound productions have always cut boldly across a speaker stack, embracing futurism at every stage; this is evident in a run of iconic dancefloor cuts, from the dub-heavy minimalism of his late 2000s tracks inspired by seminal London clubs FWD>> and DMZ', to contemporary breakout hits like 2020’s rave-ready Alien Mode and 2022’s Red Sky. Not content to only inhabit record bags and set lists, 2015 saw the release of Pearson Sound, a singularly hypnotic self-titled debut LP, which foregrounded a resolute desire to experiment with the form. Pearson Sound’s perpetual forward motion is fuelled by the crucial feedback loop that exists between production and DJing. Whether testing dubplates at club sets, bleeding across genres with on-the-fly edits, or sparking off within the dynamics of Hessle Audio’s legendary B3B DJ sets, his signature is ever-evolving.Their RA profile lists Hessle Audio and Pearson Sound.Recently at Green Room NYC, public records, BASEMENT · often with Surusinghe, Blawan, yungfya, none of them here on Saturday
