Could planet Earth be considered a living being? And if so, could it be seen as the physical vessel of a planetary-level spiritual entity? Ancient Hinduism believed so and expounded it in The Upanishads: a collection of early sacred texts where such entity was named Sanat Kumara and inhabited the very center of the Earth, lodged in the wondrous city of Shamballa - these beliefs were later appropriated by western New Age sects of the early 20th century and turned into all manner of silly representations and distortions. 

The idea of a conscious, thinking spirit at the centre of Earth's movements, cycles and magnanimous energy was the inspiration for the opening track on the second naive release by Photonz; accordingly, the tittle-track "Planetary Spirit" is an explosion of modulating energy and rhythm ready to blow raver's into gosebumps territory and full-on techno hysteria. Followed by "Badagas", the EP moves into brainy-but-percussive territory, full of synthetic resonant drums and UK bass sensibility. 

On the flip we've got "Circumference", a driving and hypnotic techno track with synthesized bubble motifs and a steady four-to-the-floor beat. Ending things on a more leftfield tip, Photonz merges early Earth drone bass with Claro Intelecto-style FM bass and slowed-down latin funk rhythms on the true-to-theme track "Earth 2".

@fiestasoundsystem makes his Scuffed Recordings debut with the ‘How’s That?’ EP, featuring four new tracks exploring the spectrum of UK dance music.

The ‘How’s That?’ EP showcases Fiesta Soundsystem’s hardcore and rave influences, bolted together with UK club and bass rhythms; from the acid-tinged roller ‘Foundation’, and the warping title track, which echoes the moment when UKG transformed into dubstep; to the pummelling Amens of ‘Phlso’, and the sparse breaks of ‘Pych 130’.

Out 19th February:
