Donald’s house and DJ Chrysalis give the UK’s Not An Animal Records the intercontinental treatment with a four track transpacific delivery of psyche-laden progressive house music melded with the sleazy stylistics we have come to expect and love from NAA releases, the outcome is a cohesive late-night package who’s sound is exceptionally current whilst somehow remaining thoughtfully reminiscent. Title track Pound Bend leads in with a breakbeat whilst the scene is set by layers of proggy synth patterns before descending into a powerfully dark, driving bassline.

Apiento remix of the title track takes a more introspective approach, stripping the package back to a reprogrammed bass groove, infectiously enlivened by an earworm synth loop that is likely to stay with you for eternity. 

A Curious Warmth delivers a bassline that ploughs through a soundscape of delicately programmed drum patterns layered with pads and new-age trance synths. A scattering of housey breaks and pads reinvigorate the track in the latter half. Tingler Ring brings things down to a slower burn as the bassline is left to drive the track, accented by a haunting of delay laden stabs whilst acid synths sit at the forefront to take the EP to its close. 

All tracks written & produced by James Isaacs & Chris Ellis. All tracks mastered by Justin Drake at The Bake House Studio.

PREMIERE: Donald's House & DJ Chrysalis - Tingler Ring

Kaidun returns with a new 2-track EP with peak-time dancefloors and cosmic atmospheres in mind. 'Mr Zurkon' sets off with a tight 4/4 groove and rolling bassline as vocal samples swirl, anchored by a riff that's half spaghetti western, half sci-fi.

PREMIERE : Kaidun - Mr Zurkon

exclusive | All Shade - Houston | Hatsu Records

The ignition sparks, engines roar, and "Houston" lifts off—not into the void, but into a realm where the pulse of the night dictates gravity. Christopher Iwatsu and Jameel Wollaston, the enigmatic duo behind All Shade, chart a celestial course with their latest expedition, the "Consummation EP," on Keisuke’s Hatsu Records. A sequel to their December debut "Maiden Voyage," this outing is no mere follow-up but a deepening of their sonic philosophy—a ritual in rhythm, a meditation on movement. As "Houston" takes the helm, the listener is launched into a twilight-lit metropolis where the air vibrates with the residue of past euphoria, and every step echoes in the half-lit corridors of sound.

"Houston" does not meander—it asserts, pulsating with a crunchy bassline that straddles the edge between House’s warmth and Techhouse’s mechanical insistence. The rhythm is relentless yet measured, a hypnotic pendulum swinging in the space between night and dawn. Its synth-line—tainted with Acid’s whisper yet never surrendering to excess—remains a specter in the periphery, teasing but never overwhelming. The track unfolds like an urban mirage, refracting flickers of neon through its percussive architecture.

A spectral female voice, woven into the fabric of the groove, conjures mystery rather than meaning—an incantation laced into the track’s DNA, urging dancers further into its spell. There is something both haunting and liberating in the way "Houston" moves: housey yet ghostly, punchy yet spectral, as if its very essence hovers in the liminal space between the corporeal and the ephemeral. It is the sound of a city awake in its dreams, where rhythm dictates reality and movement is the only truth.

In "Houston," All Shade masterfully capture the paradox of the dancefloor—an intimate communion within an infinite expanse. This is not just club music; it is a transmission from another realm, a coded message for those willing to lose themselves in the translation. The consummation is complete, but the journey has only just begun.

Tune -  Change the beat

The mysterious Polymod is set to debut on Dusky's 17 Steps imprint with the 'Polymod EP'! So far so anonymous, but the music contained within is anything but. We're very happy to be premiering lead track 'No Other', which looks set to provide some strong competition in the 'song of the summer' stakes. Driven forward by a yearning bassline, with an infectious rave-ready piano loop providing a splash of colour, it's a pastel-hued sunshine smash in the making. Already receiving heavy support from the likes of Kiwi, Dave Harvey and Alan Fitzpatrick, expect to be hearing 'No Other' absolutely everywhere very soon.
