ZDS - Guided Fragmentation

Label founder Holly Lester pools together a selection of her favourite artists from across the globe to form the first volume in the Duality Trax Visions compilation series. Bouncing from the U.S to Europe, the VA travels through a multitude of moods and genres across seven tracks - including acid tinged electro from New York, breaks infused garage from Chicago, rave-fuelled house music from Belgium and a pulsating trance-inspired club track from Estonia. 

Today we bring you the first listen of 'Umwaya', a dreamy breakbeat number that beautifully rounds off the compilation from Belfast hustler Optmst.  

Keen to reflect the core ethos of the label, the compilation series name serves as a nod towards her ideals of a more equalised future in electronic music - something which is fittingly demonstrated throughout this stellar lineup. 100% of compilation profits will be donated to Doctors Without Borders, who provide medical care to casualties of war in Gaza, Syria, Yemen and much more. The organisation has also worked tirelessly to provide Covid-19 related aid to countries hit the hardest throughout the pandemic and are currently lobbying for a global waiver of patents on COVID-19 technologies.

Premiere: Optmst - Umwaya [Duality Trax]

DJ Nasty, Digitek, 313 Bass Mechanics - these were his aliases in the 90’s when he was part of a movement from Detroit that established ghettotech as a DJ-style as well as an electronic music genre. In 2015 he re-entered the game as Detroit’s Filthiest and in 2017 he collaborated with Sinistarr on Yo Speakerz (DICA004), which was supported by DJ Shadow and Doc Scott alike. His Honor Among Thieves EP in 2018 (DICA008) unearthed another hit with Funky Sperm (900K plays). In summer 2021 he contributed to the Defrostatica Records various artists compilation Hybrid Hooks with the hip-hop jungle crossover "Throwback".

This fall he returns to the label with four no-frills uptempo tracks that fuse electro, ghettotech and jungle as only Detroit's Filthiest can.

"Nothing to see here, just another remix package squeezing extra mileage out of rinsed out tunes...

Wait a minute, that's actually not the case!?!?

Introducing an insane collection of complete re-imaginings of some of the biggest tunes from our very first release: Ghettoraid Vol.1. No straight edits on this one, it's all high-newtrition, juicy fresh content! From the mirror-sheen, clinical electro of Mike Starr's J@net rework, to the rave fave that is Rory Kelly's Big Mama RMX of The Past, to URTE's hands-in-the-air breaks version of Could It Be, this release has something for everyone who likes it fast, funky and "auf die Fresse".

Also available on a limited edition USB Stick, which will be the final in our series of engraved thumbdrives. For those who have been asking us to reissue the Ghettoraid Vol. 1 USB, this is your chance to get what you need as we have included all the tracks from the original release with the stick in addition to the new remixes and some spicy bonus content of course.

Big up to all the artists for their contributions <3"

For the first release of the 10” series, we welcome Design Default to the Dome with an EP that effortlessly orbits a beautiful yet precisely constructed world. The release encapsulates the atmosphere of his previous ambient works with the energy of his left of centre club releases demonstrating the depth of output this Parisian producer is capable of.
 
On the A-side, we dip into his distinctive approach to sound design with glistening melodies, flourishing through an array dreamy soundscapes on Eta Aquariids. We welcome back PD favourite Sputnik One whose rework ups the energy levels with a flip certified to move the floor while maintaining the euphoria and bliss of the original.

On the B, we are again transported to unexplored worlds on the uplifting journey of  Kagura where fragmented particles collide on the backdrop of uplifting otherworldly atmospheres.

Takama-ga-hara reflects the lofty sacred world from which the name implies - weaving through a haze of influences giving us something beautiful, engaging and unique and following on from a tough couple of years, a positive look into the future as we move towards more freedom, connection and positivity.

Sound Transitions is proud to present a masterfully produced EP from Overkissed. Comprised of two originals and three remixes, Overkissed's Foolish EP is a whirlwind of skittering rhythms, delicate pads, catchy hooks, and plenty of emotion. Overkissed takes a simple vocal sample and puts it front and center for the heavy duty house workout that is "Foolin' Me." With "Foolin' U" he builds a world of interlocking drums, swirling vocals snippets, growling bass, and emotive synthwork. Rounding out the EP are three interpretations of "Foolin' Me" from Selfhood, Max Ulis, and Gloved Hands that all pull the original into strange, compelling new territories with Electro, Breaks and Leftfield House all under one release. Just in time for your summertime needs

Premiere: Dobriydrug - i 1 2 Have a Juke With U (urbanstghetto)

Legs dangling off the hill, they sat in silence taking in their surroundings. From up here you could see the entire city below; the glow of hundreds of cars moving through the streets and the huge skyscrapers that seemed to stretch far beyond the heavens. She'd never taken another person up here, it was her special place where she came to escape everything. But he seemed different to everyone else; she wanted to let him on her secret.

Moscow's ИДА (IDA) return for another instalment of breakbeats and wonky dance floor cuts, this time from Russian producer Moonoton. Alongside two original cuts that bring a blend of breaks, voodoo vocal samples and Italo synths, the release is backed up by two remixes from Facets and St Petersburg-based producer Maruwa, who adds her signature touch, balancing heavy breaks with dreamy, celestial atmospheres.
