Naturestrip Naarm write:

“The debut 2023 disc of narcotised, tranced-out dub from Naarm collective Dregs resurfaces on venerable UK imprint Purely Physical Teeny Tapes, its dense textures and abyssal groove splayed across two sides of wax for wider appreciation among those with an ear for corporeal sludge and blurred sound-system sonics.

Centred around the core trio of Sina (vox/synth), Drop Dylan (vox/guitar) & Ossian (production/electronics), this particular session of endless-nite trip-hop finds the group bringing Rip Van Hippy (percussion) into the fold, the revered trance figurehead whose tendrils have also reached into the works of far slung sonic explorers such as Boredoms, Ollie Olsen & Osamu Kitajima. The affinities between the pairing are at once sonically obvious & ripe with potential, both parties sharing an ability to convolve diffuse strands of sound (slow-motion dnb, blasted dub, the luxuriant languor that arises at the meeting point between trip-hop & post- rock) into a jet-black molasses of infinite groove, drowned melodics, and dense hallucination.

This self-titled debut is best described as a sensual ooze, smeared & smudged textures riding heavyweight bass pressure & trudging rhythms that dissolve into one another, strung-out siren songs from the gutters of the night. Not a music for the club so much as one born of it, the LP plays out in deeply carnal styles: vox swimming in layers of murk writhing among shadow, the faint murmur of a guitar etching out the suggestion of a melody only to be devoured by un-bottled pressure, endless tremors rattling through a hall of mirrors.

A sound to be felt equally in the most heart-melted zones as well as firmly in the cavity of your sternum, in states altered or otherwise; delicate & ethereal, evanescently grimy, and deeply, deeply addictive.”

Dregs are Sina, Drop Dylan, Ossian and Rip Van Hippy
Mixed by Kalju Tonuma
Mastered by Simon Polinski

uneasy. film by @sofiemcclure

For this week’s Wild One, ‘Sofj’, Naarm groovers @dregs.mud take a gamble to deliver the ultimate in shadowy late night shmoods.
 
Arriving as the first track from their new self-titled album, ‘Sofj’ is an echoing, bass-forward track that crisply mirrors everything we admire about 90’s trip-hop. The accompanying music video co-directed by @chris_c_f and @lolacerola is as vibey as the music would suggest, with blurry highway lights, speeding motorbikes, shadowy, smoke-filled gambling dens and suggestive tarot card readings working together to paint a mysterious scene of Melbourne’s underbelly.
 
Dregs have been active in Melbourne’s underground for the past 5 years, where they have been busy blending elements of trance, drum and bass, tribe, dub, trip hop, post-rock and shoegaze. With so little known about these elusive Naarm artists, we hope this might just be the first we hear- and see- from Dregs.
