Built around an infectious, Grime-flecked synth riff, drums that sit somewhere between Funky and Techno, and a Pirate Radio sample from deep in the Bristol memory banks, 'Wile Up' continues the Hissian evolution into hitherto underexplored territory of the 140 BPM landscape, while still being an annoying shit...

Similarly, on the flip, 'YUH!' slaps iconic rave stabs over thumping 909 rimshots, but sneakily works in some Pulse X-inspired bass. Annoying he may well be, but he's definitely making some of the most exciting UK dance music around at the moment.

Label founder Phasmid returns to Taipan with 'Immersions' - a collaborative project that sees him work with a lethal cohort of producers from throughout his international tour.

Four moody, menacing club tracks that fuse mind-warping sound design with standout bass weight.

Bassweight Nostalgia Vol. 2 is the latest instalment in Debba’s ongoing 2-tracker self-release series showcasing nostalgic club tunes built for late-night sound systems. A continuation of last year’s Volume 1 featuring two peak-time tracks, Volume 2 builds on the development of Debba’s recognisable sonic identity. In the works since early 2025, the EP is stripped but weighted, with warm subs, ghosted vocals and swinging UKG-influenced percussion.

1. Debba ‘I Don’t Know’

Rumbling subs, tight percussion and scattered vocal fragments in a 4/4 club tool that unfolds patiently and heavily, featuring a trademark UK Bass switch up midway through.

2. Debba ‘In My Heart’

A more direct stepper with pitched vocal hooks and UKG swing, balancing melancholy with a heart-thumping low-end. A gentle nod to the title track Just Wanna from last year’s 4-track EP on Madam X’s Kaizen.

*asterisco004 marks the end of our first cycle.
Four releases of bold experiments and sonic detours.
Now the vision is clearer.

“Sciankato” by HLRTY walks with a limp. Uneven, broken, shifting into 2-step. Its path isn’t linear, but every step matters.

We still believe in minimalism as resistance.
We still believe in club music as ritual.
We’re just getting started.

Inspired by field recordings and the urban cityscapes of Orlando, 'External Signal' EP fuses raw, industrial sound design with seismic bass movement - from the mind of Florida-based producer Arina Krondeva.
