NGELAW - which translates to 'wind' in Wolof - is the latest 6-track EP by the Senegalese Hispanic producer and DJ B4MBA and is expected to be released on Friday, June 5th, on the Moroccan label raghoul, adding to his discography of Industrial Dancehall, Jungle Breaks, and all sorts of bass. For this EP B4MBA linked up with the Moroccan 3D artist Misfit and Jokkoo Collective member @mooquidi-alcaline to create the visual universe of this release.

Premiere: B4MBA - NEURO ALPHA CENTAURI [raghoul]

The first release on raghoul in 2025 will be the debut album ‘Sankara Never Died’ by Moroccan producer 3xOJ. This 9-track experimental bass album is packed with collaborations, featuring live drummers, vocalists, rappers and transverse flute-players, and will be the first release on the label to be made available on vinyl. ‘Sankara Never Died’ is the fruit of four years of labour and is a homage to the electronic sounds coming from this small but significant corner of the continent. Each track invites the listener into a universe of its own, and explores the different sounds that the artist has been working with over the past decade.

Having gained praise for his release Stasix on Nyege Nyege Tapes and EP Stork on Hakuna Kulala, 3xOJ is a Meknes-raised, Casablanca-based electronic music DJ and producer. His approach to music history and theory has brought him in contact with a wide range of styles and influences that he has learned to weave together with his love for contemporary club culture.

note from the heart

Let's not pretend that any of what we do and make as a label and people holds any value or makes any sense in a world where several genocides of our peoples can unfold before our very own eyes with total impunity of the international bodies that are supposed to keep humanity safe and sane. Daily, our screens, powered by the blood and lives of millions of our Congolese brothers and sisters, are overflowing with images that could only be from nightmares. But they're not. They are the horrifying daily realities of our Palestinian, Sudanese, Lebanese, Syrian, Yemeni and Congolese siblings subjected to the exploitation of natural resources, labour, and land. To those continuing to resist and defend their homeland, we owe you our lives. And from the white ruler, we ask: How do you expect us to create capital for you as you bury our women with their children still hiding in their bellies? How do you sleep at night knowing your peace is drenched in the stench of mass graves that were once hospitals? How do you want us to wake up and seize the day when you continue to seize our lands and futures with it?

Sankara Never Died is a catharsis, a purge of some sort. It is a reminder that the revolution is here and looks red, brown, and black.

From the world to Casablanca, back to the world.

Promises (Sylvere Remix)

New EP from @kioskk—a Warsaw-based DJ, producer, and founder of the 00effort label.

Across three original cuts plus two remixes from fa:act and Le Frit, the EP merges bass, techno, eco-grime, and baile funk into an ever-shifting soundscape—somewhere between ritual futurism and peak-time club euphoria.

Ever since our first release back in 2023, we’ve always tried to push out electronic music which does one simple thing - takes our love of sci-fi aesthetics and melts it into sonic form, irrespective of genre, sound, mood or anything else. Now with this aesthetic cemented in our first 5 releases, we feel it is time to drop our first compilation.

We’re proud to present Multi-Source, a 14-track assemblage covering the whole helix of experimental electronic music. The result is a very wild ride through an array of styles and BPMs, and it does exactly what we’ve always tried to do - put aside genre or mood, and focus on extreme, sound-design forward explorations of sci-fi aesthetics. It’s a celebration of the insanely broad range of music we’ve managed to fit into the Plasma Sources sound so far, and an observance of all the potential the imprint has to come.

There’s offerings from the full label family - we welcome back Cortical, Beton Brut, unearth, NIQH, J-Shadow and label boss HYPNA, who each present their signature laser-guided takes on club music. We also welcome a slew of some of our favourite artists right now - Ziyiz, Stolen Velour, Prior Self, Klahrk and Atrice highlighting the light, skittering side of our aesthetic, whilst Guide, Galtier, Bonebrokk and Reinartz illuminate the dark, deep and noise-tinged aspect of Plasma Sources.

As we look forward to the rest of 2025 and our future as a label, we offer up Multi-Source as a confirmation of our key aesthetics - juxtaposing dark and light, balancing experimentalism and dance floor sensibilities and interweaving sci-fi and biologically infused sound design.

SWINE PREMIERE: @lao + @otherislands single "Años Despues" via @terminalrec

"Lo Que Queda, Vuelve ("What Remains, Returns") is the collaborative 3-track EP from Mexican producer LAO - founder of the label Éxtasis and member of the highly influential collective and label @NAAFI and emerging London-born musician Other Islands. 

✤ EP is dropping via Terminal / June 18th

✸ The EP unfolds across its three tracks, weaving together an array of global sounds, from baile funk and ballroom through to dembow and grime, creating a genre-bending record built for the dancefloor. LAO’s innovative take on experimental club music fuses with Other Islands' spectral UK sensibilities, channeling the cacophony and surrealist smog of Mexico City, their shared home. It's a perfect blend of various musical inspirations and energies.

✸ The record’s hybrid sound traces links back to sound-system aesthetics while looking forward to what’s ahead. Lo Que Queda, Vuelve embodies Terminal’s commitment to sonic exploration and cross-cultural exchange.
