Fun one! It’s always lovely sharing mixes tipped by friends. This one was sent over to us by someone we respect enormously, so it's no surprise that we haven't stopped listening since it popped into our inbox a few months ago.

98Dots is one to keep an eye out for. The 23-year-old DJ and producer has been honing his skills in Tbilisi over the last couple of years, with notable gigs including a recent B2B with Jane Fitz. This atmospheric set proves just how special a DJ we have here. Enjoy!

Those lockdown silver linings continue to reveal themselves when we least expect it… As proved, once again, by the inimitable Amsterdam techno HQ Deeptrax as they present this stunning analog exploration from scene stalwart Mark Peeters AKA Caim. 

Inspired, created and sculpted during those strange times when none of us could rave, Caim simply describes the moment by saying the “clubs were closed, but creativity kept on floating”… Now that floatation is bequeathed to us through these warm, rolling and wide-armed frequencies. Tapping into a spirit that goes right back to Detroit and Chicago, there’s an understated groovemanship at play as Calm jams out on the same instruments house and techno forefathers used to sculpt this culture. 

Music to get lost inside of, music to take away the stresses of the day, music that’s a joy to mix, weave and tell stories with… Caim has created another timeless collection of grooves that could resonate with or relate to any period in the last 35 years of dance music culture. 

From the warm, opening rumbles of ‘Nepi’ to closing rippling dubwise echoes of ‘Kapura’, very few stones are left unturned as Caim tells a tale of the ages that we can all float to. Here’s to silver linings.

"Digital Animals" is a visceral exploration of our modern techno-driven existence, where the rise of AI and social media pulls humanity back into a primal state. With infinite knowledge at our fingertips, we paradoxically devolve, following basic instincts and binary patterns, like creatures of code. This compilation encapsulates the raw energy of this shift: pounding beats and hypnotic rhythms reflecting the endless noise of social media, while pulsing synths echo the tension between hyper-connection and isolation. In this digital jungle, we become evolved yet devolved, trapped in a loop of polarized thinking, driven by technology's relentless pace.

Especial welcomes new artist DJ 1985 to the label. As so often, the idea of pushing new music has been the raison d'etre of the past decade. An EP of a love for Acid, from the breaks anthem of the title We Trippin’ to exploring the ethereal and even mind-melting Ambient House and Balearic of how the Roland TB-303 has become a fundamental element in the history of electronic music.

Soviet born; Belgrade exile Stanislav is DJ 1985. A man of many monikers, came to House later, originally progressing from Breaks, Hardcore and onto Drum and Bass as DJ Saint Man, a Mixmaster in the truest sense, switching it up to include Ghetto House and Booty, DJing led to producing, finally seeing DJ 1985 emerged to encompass Acid, Bleep, Breakbeat, Chicago and beyond.

A DJ supreme from the old school – check his Boiler Room mix for live vinyl dexterity – his productions nod to Aphex Twin and the Rephlex / UK lineage, the Techno. Electro of masters Underground Resistance and Drexciya and on to Italo, Italian House and early 90s New Jersey and New York’s golden period and of course the masters Kraftwerk, all influence the sounds of this debut EP.

Starting as 808 and 909 Electro and Techno jams, all the tracks are recorded live, MPC, synth and drum machines, no computers involved. We Trippin’ is built around the “Think” break, with trippy 303 line, some 808, synths and off we go “we trippin”.

Dolphin and Sirens was inspired by the Boka Bay dolphins of Montenegro, near where the recording was made. A flotation bath of warm dreamy acid beats and aquatic found sound, fast, shifting breaks, the Adriatic Sea of Croatia and beyond beckoning.

Catland’s title is a nod to Stanislav’s love of all the feline, but the breaks’n’303 cut is an endlessly uplifting spark, celestial, a cosmic evolutionary odyssey.

DJ 1985 completes his debut EP with the aptly titled The Last One. Spherular, mysterious, this rise of spatial breaks is a reawakening of symbolic music that is touched by both East and West. Stanislav’s music intersects, trans-national, almost spiritual and psychedelic. Live jamming, more hearted, the snap electro percussion, dream-laden pads are twinned with an ethereal otherness via the endless possibilities of the TB-303.

Returning with her second EP "What We Leave Behind", Krash Cora explores the connection of acid techno with tribal percussion and trance-influenced melodies. She builds dancefloor tools that feel ceremonial – made for movement, but carrying something deeper beneath.
Follow her voyage from outer space to deep sea, across vast dunes and raw wastelands. It is a record about our traces and memories, allowing the listener to imagine what echoes we leave behind for whoever or whatever comes next.
