Valencian producer Pépe's (@pepmanpepe) love of iridescent melodies, velvety pads and complex rhythms has seen him skilfully combine house, bass music and breakbeat in recent years. His music is globally reaching, having garnered attention from top artists including Ben UFO, Peggy Gou, Shanti Celeste, Moxie, Mount Kimbie and Disclosure.  

His heartfelt, mercurial and emotive sound is ever present on his new album for Lapsus, which also incorporates a lush sonic forest, resplendent in detail and jam packed with influences. Album Reclaim' opens the door to experimentation and sound design, while embracing the braindance and hyperpop sphere with surprising maturity. It is an amalgamation of electronic sounds and pulsating structures in which orchestral sounds, folk music, ambient textures and a strong vocal presence, both synthetic and authentic, sparkle. 

Reclaim' imagines a post-human future, where nature once again reclaims lost ground and is free to flourish and take root around manmade structures. Pépe exhibits his personal reverence for the work of Antonio Cortés Ferrando, the architect behind the Espai Verd building, which broke architectural and urban planning norms by using computation to create structures that promote the organic growth of foliage. It is a building designed for the future, where flora cultivates indefinitely.

In Pépe’s own words, "At a time when we have witnessed how nature strives to regain ground, once humans are removed from the streets, it is important to start thinking critically about new techniques in the creation of art and design, and imagining a future where posterity is embodied in the rejuvenation of a greener world".

Born in East Frisia and now calling Hanover home, Mimsyy has been honing his craft behind the decks since 2020. Occasionaly showing presence across private and public gigs in Northern Germany, he brings a rarely seen mixing-style, blending the driving energy of techno with the raw edge of hip-hop elements.

An enthusiast of the Electro sound and its subgenres, Mimsyy delivers a dynamic mix that stays true to the old-school roots of Electro while diving deep into bass-heavy, bouncy rhythms.

The tunnel was long and the shimmering lights from up above were all that prevented them from being plunged into complete and total darkness. Each phase of the journey was intertwined and interlinked with a wave of anxiety for it was not safe for them here. Travelling through the outback of the countryside, beneath the towering mountains and through the wandering tunnels beneath the cliff face they began to wonder whether this trip had been such a good idea at all. All hell was about to break loose...

Kamus & PinballSpider are a duo from Glasgow who are set to self release a new EP which has been widely supported so far by the likes of Eclair Fifi, Assembler Code, Locked Club and Nite Fleit. It's a promising offer from a pair who look set to evolve.

If there's one sound running riot through the underground electronic music scene right now, it's a drum break. As someone who's been slotting Amens in tracks since 2017, London producer Breaka isn't just hopping on the trend. The second release on his own label, 'Breaka002', shows off three cuts of exploratory dancefloor sounds, and we're premiering one below. "I started this self-release series to give myself a chance to release some slightly different sounding music," Breaka says. "That continues with Breaka002 - for 'Steeze Flex', I wanted to make a rolling groove out of some favourite samba and Afro-Cuban beats, and then supplemented them with some moody synths and horns." Bringing trumpet and horn textures into stuttering drums and tripped-out vocal snippets, you can listen to 'Steeze Flex' below.
