Dam Swindle's Wanderist returns to Aus Music with club-ready three tracker, Imagine 

The Dutchman's third EP for the label blends breakbeats and house rhythms into fulsome electronic soundscapes  

Wanderist is the solo project of Maarten Smeets, half of the influential Dam Swindle duo. With that project and their Heist Recordings label, Smeets has spent the last decade-plus touring the world's best clubs and festivals and cooking up timeless house sounds across a wide spectrum of sub-genres. Earlier this year, they dropped their third full-length Open, which was a personal deep dive into a range of melancholic, ethereal sounds that often veered away from the dance floor and into lush home-listening. 

This new EP finds Smeets back in club mode and tapping into personal inspirations, from dreamy electro to dubby techno. Following his previous two outings on this label in 2020 and 2021 - which picked up support across the board from tastemakers like Len Faki, Anastasia Kristensen, Josh Wink and Luke Slater plus plays on BBC Radio 1, Ibiza Sonica and many more - he taps into fresh rhythms and a futuristic energy that moves body and mind. 

Opener 'Imagine' has shimmering synth work bringing scale to crisp, well-programmed broken beats. Careful, tender synth sequences layer in unresolved suspense while refracted vocal fragments and glitchy textures push into an otherworldly space. 'Wait' is a speedy cut built on deft but kinetic broken beats with a free-roaming bassline leading up to the stars. It's an immersive sound with lush layers of synths and cascading arps all dragging you into their orbit. 'Just a Groove' maintains the momentum with sparkling chords and urgent, cantering drums. Progressive melodies glow while the most subtle of trance chords hint at old school hands-in-the-air euphoria. 

Wanderist's 'Imagine EP' arrives on 19th September.

PREMIERE: Paffetti aka Black Loops - Yallah

Puglia-born Bress Underground brings his reverence for early US house and garage to a new outing for Spanish label Mate. 'This House' opens with chopped up vocal stabs, acrobatic drums and percussive rhythms. 'Connected' is smooth and seductive with dusty swing and muted chord work. 'Ready Or Not' brings some electronic futurism with sleek, liquid metal lines over deep, dynamic drums and 'Take Me Higher' is a big finish with Kerri Chandler kicks and chords, all finished with a true school house vocal. It's timeless, effective tackle for cultured floors.

PREMIERE: Bress Underground - This House

A staple artist in many of our dear music collectors’ libraries, and a discovery for those who are joining us on this music journey more recently. For decades, Daniel Stefanik managed to juggle between a wider reaching sound through collaborations with Adam Port, Pan Pot or Butch and a deeper sound through obscure monikers as Urban Force. For his BERG AUDIO debut, the German artist delivers an early 2000’s tech-house inspired, dub infused release that will accompany you during peak dancefloor moments as well as more meditative times – enjoy! Artwork – Juli Jah (Release date: 03/10/2025, available on all digital platforms)
