Its official: spring has sprung, bringing with it a new offering from Allergy Season, “Split Wig”— 4 brain-rattling, breakbeat-laden tracks by OSSX.

OSSX is the pairing of New Jersey-based producers Lektor Scopes & EQUISS. Already known for a slew of self-released edits, the duo take things to head-clearing heights with their debut EP of original tracks. Experience de- and re-constructing tracks for dance floor efficiency is on display across these ecstatic, bottom-heavy cuts. Essential gear from two club-wise voices.

Following a slew of compilations, albums and singles using a multitude of aliases, Allergy Season boss Physical Therapy comes home for his first solo EP under the name in 4 years. Drawing on distant memories of youtube rips and unidentifiable white labels, “Teardrops On My Garage” provides a signature collection of romantic cuts. Chunky, swinging drums and Edwardian vocal chops are stitched to create an EP of poppy and bittersweet house.

Long-time Allergy Season friend and favorite Davis Galvin teams up with Physical Therapy for their first collaboration, Sugaring. Both artists are known for their prolific output, and Sugaring finds them at their most stripped back. A syrupy sweet ear-worm melody slowly pours out over elastic drums and healthy subs.

Wisdom Teeth co-founder Facta steps up for a remix of Sugaring. Cutting the carbs, Facta further reduces the track into moody, textured dub techno.

about
Long time collaborators Complete Walkthru and Physical Therapy join together for their first EP on Allergy Season, Popcorn. Salvaged from sessions begun in 2015, the pair present two lush end emotive house tracks, backed by a minimized dub from Jump Source.

Lead track “Popcorn” opens as a tight italo-house tune before erupting into a a wall of shoegaze synths. Heavily road tested, it's a surefire “big moment” on the dancefloor. B-side “Origin” is propulsive and pretty, layering piano and strings over an acid bassline.

Jump Souce, the all-star Montreal duo of Patrick Holland and Priori, hand in a tripped-out tech-house interpretation of ‘Popcorn.’ The meandering psychedelic jam teases elements of the original between tense staccato synths.

Allergy Season alum Love Letters and label boss Physical Therapy team up to tackle new territory on Hunk. In two distinct versions, the duo explore prismatic soundscapes and gut-rattling bass.

Echoing across 13 minutes, the ‘Ouroboros Mix’ is an epic of dark dub in half-time. Layers of heady sound build and decay through the song’s several movements, while ballooning delays ricochet across syrup-thick low end. It’s a winding trip, weaving tension and release.

The pair buff things up for the ‘Herculean Mix,’ a stripped back techno interpretation, which builds Hunk’s heavy bass lines from squelch to squall. The mind-bending sound palette is glued to a breakneck 606 drum machine for a peak time potency.

The next release on Allergy Season has Physical Therapy showing off his range. “My Experience” features 4 versions of the same lyrical lick in increasingly deconstructed forms.

First is the Subjective Mix, a life-affirming tech-house roller coated in glistening keys built atop a room-shaking bassline. Next, the Objective Mix, a minimal funhouse acid trip, flips the buoyant energy of the first version on it’s head.

The Unreliable Narrator Mix, featuring vocals from Physical Therapy, is a slow and psychedelic soundtrack to an internal monologue. Finishing things off is the Unreliable Narrator Dub, a dub of a dub if you will, letting the lyrics finally fall apart in a sonic ego death.

Miami’s Nick León teams up with Physical Therapy for the first time on “Genesis” a revitalizing springtime jam. The playful track is a perfect pairing of the two producers, with perky melodies and a deft club beat.

Three remixes bridge the sounds of Florida and New York. DJ SWISHA amps up the original in classic NYC 4X4 fashion, while SEL.6 turns in a mutated Miami Bass version. As a bonus, Physical Therapy reconstructs Genesis with an extended disco-infused edit under his Peter Pressure alias.

Fatherhood, the long standing NYC duo of Michael Magnan and Physical Therapy, return to Allergy Season with some signature parental wisdom.

‘Round People’ is all disco-fied funk, before opening up into a bright piano house anthem. Label alums OSSX do what they do best on their remix- slimming down the track to pure club gear.

On “If Tori Calls” Fatherhood flip landline sounds into brash breakbeat house. Pittsburgh’s Ali Burger redials the track, turning in a psychadelic electro take.

Physical Therapy links up with Montreal’s Patrick Holland on “Daymaxxing”: 3 colorful cuts made for the distinct moods of a day on the dancefloor. Friends since the “lo-fi house” era of the early 2010’s, the pair have carefully constructed an EP that shows off their wide range and love of earworm melodies.

Title track “Daymaxxing” is a bright and intricate house track, slowly unfolding into a harmonious afternoon groove. “7 AM Drive” follows with propulsive sunrise techno, bass heavy and laden with strings. Finally, “7 PM Drive” closes the EP with a balearic breakbeat take – an easy sunset soundtrack.

Physical Therapy returns to Allergy Season with a rollicking new single, Ride The Pony. The original mix is pure party-starting energy, filled with record scratches, cowbells and cantering 909 toms. Next, on “Fizz’s Terrace Dub”, things are stretched out into a minimal opus, starting with 6 minutes of tripped out tech before opening up into heavier sounds. Finally, the “Ride The Elephant Mix” adds even more weight, reconfiguring RTP’s playful palette into dark half-time/double-time.

Allergy Season celebrates 10 years of genre-agnostic music with Hypersensitivity: A Decade of Allergy Season. The compilation and continuous mix feature a wide range of artists associated with the label, and includes some of the most popular tunes in its history and several formerly Bandcamp-only fan favorites. A note from label founder Physical Therapy: 
 
“10 years ago, I started Allergy Season out of frustration. As a prolific producer putting out stylistically varied music, I had already released on at least 15 labels. None felt reflective of the approach that I took to electronic music, and none felt reflective of the scene in New York that I had come up in. 
 
In the late-aughts and early twenty-teens, while Europe and the UK were still focused on separate rooms or club nights for House, Techno, or “Bass” — the scene in NYC was based purely on Fun (with a capital “F”). New York nightlife was finally coming back after barely maintaining a pulse through the Giuliani-era crackdowns that shuttered most venues. Most of the serious electronic music parties that had managed to survive were recovering from pivoting to the fartier end of the Minimal spectrum or Electroclash.
 
In that environment, the way to get bodies through the door and people dancing wasn’t through advertising what genre the music was going to be, — it was simply by throwing the best and craziest parties possible. I don’t remember anyone asking me, “What’s the music going to be like?” for the first 3 or 4 years that I threw parties. People cared about the music, but they didn’t need to be primed on what specifically it was going to sound like, just that it was going to be good.
 
So, as simple as it sounds, I set out to create a label that only cared if the music was “Good” and “Fun.” Before consumers had completely given themselves over to streaming, and before the rise of nimble Bandcamp-only labels, it was quite difficult to get digitally released music taken seriously. It’s hard to imagine, but the music press was still the main path to getting music heard widely. All the while, the best music could only be found in ephemeral spaces like Soundcloud or Mediafire links on blogs. Grab the 128kbp MP3 while you can because it might be gone tomorrow…
 
Reflecting on the past decade — so much that I had wished for New York’s electronic music scene has come true. The city’s scene is more vibrant than any European city; the barriers for releasing great music and finding an audience have vanished. Sometimes I miss those earlier unvarnished days, but I’m grateful to have seen everything that has happened since, to have made whatever tiny contribution I could, to have provided a platform for artists to do what they want.
 
What’s left to do for Allergy Season in the next 10 years? The same thing over and over, hopefully better and better. Now that audiences have expanded there’s lots of room for genre obsession and redefinition – niches hardly exist in a world of instantaneous and unlimited access. I will keep making too much music and loving too much music, keep putting out the things that excite me, and keep having Fun. See you back here in 2034 ;)”

Next up on Allergy Season, a sure fire mend for any auditory cuts and scrapes left by mediocre club tracks: "OOF" by Alex Falk. 5 cool, complex techno explorations by the Knoxville-based producer and DJ. 

Falk first made his mark in techno during the early twenty-teens with appearances on a tightly knit group of Southeastern US labels including Proper Trax and CGI Records. Born and raised well outside the established bases for electronic music in the Northeast and the Midwest, Falk absorbed the sounds of Miami bass and electro compilations that occasionally made their way to local CD stores. Falk eventually discovered the world of forest raves and Goa Trance that flourished in nearby Asheville, North Carolina. The scene was a bastion of weirdo electronic music that thrived just as raves began to lose hold in cities across the region. Falk eventually moved on from the Trance sphere and focused his energies back home in Knoxville, founding the TEKNOX party series with a group of friends. 7 years of hard work and forward thinking booking allowed the party and the scene in Knoxville to grow, connecting with like minds throughout the Southeast and becoming part of a grassroots revival of underground dance music throughout the US. 

On his first EP for Allergy Season, Falk processes synthetic sounds until they take on near organic texture, creating hypnotic and psychedelic tracks that deftly bang. Opener "OOF" is a broken-beat techno opus awash in evolving synth tones and skittering stereo hi-hats. "Self" counters with a hooky vocal samples and an upbeat 909 pump. In the center of the EP "Lift" and "Mark" move deeper into the wormhole, painting intricate detail on surging rhythms. Falk closes with "MUU", an oceanic techno track that hits with wave after wave of interwoven melody until the tension releases with a head-spinning pad.
