Bring the fanfares, Fast Castle number one has landed: We are launching into the world of wax with “Unique Technologies” – a collection of five bass-heavy, versatile and trip-ready tracks.

Much of Fast Castle is still shrouded in pixelated darkness. This first release offers a glimpse on what this weird-world might shed light on next: From polyrhythmic bass & drum flexing, to dubstep-not-dubstep exercises in sound system science and past-midnight gaze music, our map is expansive and full of surprises.

The essence of countless hours spent soul searching & synapse twisting in the confines of our studio shed in Berlin’s outer ring territories, „Unique Technologies“ is the first building block of our humble castle. Cut to thick rotating discs for maximum bass range response and housed in a printed sleeve, FC01 is strictly limited to two hundred copies. Shouts to Lupo for the cut, Olo for the mastering and Jonas at 200 Kilo for the design

Look out for the magical cheat code inscribed in the runout!

Everything Merged Vol 2
(release Dec 2)

‘Everything Merged’ is 3024’s second series of compilations featuring artists from the 3024 Mentoring Program. At the beginning of the pandemic, label owner Martyn started forming a lively online community of artists, providing them with ideas and inspiration. This community grew larger and larger, and musicians started to connect both online and offline, across continents and genres. It resulted in the “It Was Always There” series of compilations in 2021, as well as countless independent releases, radio appearances and gigs, putting a host of artists on the map.

Working on the program made Martyn and partner Jeroen Erosie reconsider the purpose of running a record label in 2022. ‘Are we still interested in putting out records via the usual channels?’ Or should a label become more of an umbrella for various activities by a larger community, both online and IRL, with digital and physical products, in other words merge everything into one.

“Everything Merged vol. 2” features both artists debuting their first tracks on a label as well as mainstays of core local scenes like London, NYC, SF and Berlin. From the percussive mastery of Sister Zo, Arcane Prospect and Manchester's DR MYSTERY to the sly techno mutations of Kudeki, Clay Wilson and Pino Peña, this collection highlights the wide variety of sounds and influences inhibiting the current electronic scene. Especially check out the post-pando exuberance of uuklyph, Henry Kerins and Padua and the bass mutations of Dutch duo TMSV & Case, Kenji Ko, Ragdy and Rex the Bard!

Sister Zo - Bubbly (3024-MEN5)

On ACEN058, label boss DJ Pitch teams up with Berlin-based artist MLE to put together an EP of energetic, stripped-down dancefloor cuts. MLE, Rhythm Section affiliate and Refuge Worldwide resident, presents her first released productions; DJ Pitch puts out his first offerings on the label since 2022’s Scared.

First up on the record is the energetic Proto Windmill. Kicking off in a relentlessly jacking house groove, a blissful sample gently enters the fray. A lively vocal sample, reminiscent of UK funky MCs, encourages the dancers whilst MLE and Pitch masterfully switch between dreamy strings and punchy percussive sections.

Next up is Drum Trak 101. Playful, satisfyingly off-kilter drums set the pace, punctuated by oddball vocal samples and rallying whistles. Whilst the percussion gets a thorough workout, this drum track has an emotional edge to it, with soaring strings and a bouncy, uplifting chord progression.

Wicked Cool Mega Safe ramps things up into a high-intensity groove. Whilst stripping things down to percussive basics, the track remains endlessly compelling, with a forceful four-to-the-floor clap pattern surrounded by ecstatic snare rolls, percussive grunts and syncopated tom hits.

Closing the record in fine style is Post Club Post Step. An acidic synth line rolls underneath rigid four-to-the-flour drums, whilst a bouncy sub bass jumps between the beats. A dubbed-out vocal sample brings an air of urgency to the track, introducing an earworm synth melody that runs above the track’s energetic tech house groove.

Our first Liquid joy mix of 2024 has arisen on to the shores 🏝🐚

Dublin based DJ and co-founder to one of the city's most exciting DIY parties, @gary2d2f, compiles sophisticated soundscapes of house music’s past, present & future. Whether it’s transmitted digitally, via his show Natural Instincts on DDR, or shared with you in person at one of their nomadic @tendertendxr parties, Gary’s knowledge of dance music and its lineage comes to the fore. Propelled by a love for the dance floor’s seduction, a level of commitment can be heard in each set, no shortcuts taken. From the more confronting NYC sound to the recent Progressive revival, plenty of Euro detours and organ archives can be heard along the way.

About the mix:
Club focused bargain bin bangers.
Lots of inspiration from 90s UK & NYC house with tracks from the sharp boys, 131bpm, the Colombian drum cartel, remy & sven
Rhythm focused, siren blaring, party pumpers.
