Following a short break, Virtual Forest Records are back with a 6-track EP by Fluid Matter, one of the three label founders.
Located on the more bassy side of their universe, Fluid Matter operates here between territories of leftfield bass, post-dubstep, and electro with hints of techno and UK Funky. A release definitely darker than most, deeply rooted in club aesthetics and dedicated to showing specks of light shining in the murkiest night.

Introducing @lo_chi as the artist for Different Intel’s inaugural release.

Bristol-based Lo Chi touches down on Different Intel with an expansive 4-track EP for the label’s inaugural release. This EP explores the versatility of his sound across varying genres and tempos, showcasing outstanding sound design and intricate stylistic choices throughout its entirety. Moving forward Lo Chi is definitely a producer to keep both ears on, backed with major support from prolific prodigies such as Henry Greenleaf, as this EP signifies the first full release in his forthcoming production career.

Pre-orders are available now, massive thanks to those supporting the label so far. To celebrate the launch of the label there is also a bonus track in the contents for supporters of the full release.

Introducing Pala EP, the first instalment of Pressure Dome’s new tape series and a PD debut from London’s City Kudu. So far finding its home across Manchester’s Access Memory imprint, and Kudu’s own beloved brainchild, Kite Hill Records, the emerging producer’s discography toys with space and rhythm to create immersive environments.

In keeping with this theme, Pala EP is a thoughtful display of the ways in which light and shade can co-exist in dance music, each track bolstered by driving bass lines and accented by delicate melodic flares. Honeysuckle and Jade draw on dubbed-out soundscapes taken from the schools of Basic Channel and SND, both enlivened by the dynamism of tuned drums. The former is haunted by a fragmented voice, whilst the latter is bathed in a plaintive ambience. Connected in their half-time pace, Pala and Twine work to further emphasise the dichotomy between light and shade. The title track’s dancehall-indebted rhythm accompanies radiant pads, whilst Twine represents its gritty counterpart, not a far cry from the work of Livity Sound extraordinaires Toma Kami and Kouslin. 

Exclusively on offer to those swift enough to get their hands on a limited edition cassette, the B-side sees Kudu wear the EP’s influences on his sleeve, offering an inspiration mix featuring music that has fed into the sound of the EP.

Patrúin mark their long awaited return with Wastee, from Wastefellow. A trio of marble-cut dance tracks etched out of wonky bass-driven styles on the label’s first release since 2020.

Diolmhain Ingram Roche enjoys a cult-like status within Ireland’s underground. A polymath of electronic music, he’s primarily known for releasing experimental pop as Wastefellow and subsequent affiliation with Kojaque’s Soft Boy Records. In recent years, he’s led the no-nonsense band, Really Good Time and toured with them throughout the UK, EU and Ireland.

Amidst all this, Wastee has been Diolmhain’s guilty pleasure, a lesser-known project dedicated to strict dancefloor business. He debuted the alias with the 2017 ‘Cola’ EP on Lyxliv, which garnered attention from Vice, DJmag, and Apple Music. Wastee reappeared on the P.U.P. Volume 1 compilation in 2021.

After a two-year break from electronic music, Diolmhain returns, integrating the Wastee alias into his main project and creating his most substantial offering of club cuts yet. The final Wastee release, but the first of many more for Wastefellow, this marks his first outing with the cult Dublin label Patrúin, co-founded by Oli and Fes in 2017, which has been notably absent from release schedules since 2020 until now.

‘Haunt You Back’ shuffles its breaks-y deck amongst some angled drums and sprightly croons, temporarily loosening its grip to deal a dialled-up signal that bursts into pop-a-delic techno delirium. ‘Squished Activity’ swirls amongst the claps before nose diving into a sub-heavy broken beat undergrowth that blossoms into a divine club strut of heads-down attitude. Our finale is ‘Your One To Me’, a large chromatic 2 stepper that boasts anthemic vocal cuts and monolithic production chops for a large-and-in-charge closer.

Wastee is a vital extension of both Wastefellow’s musical being and Patruin’s label legacy, 3 exquisite dance tracks from a true talent and a welcome return for the imprint.

50% of profits from the release will be donated to Medical Aid for Palestinians.

Antilogic, DJ et productrice, émerge en 2019 d’une grotte tahitienne. Bercée par les percussions déconstruites de la bringue locale et du deck polynésien, elle puise son inspiration dans cette culture musicale pour ses débuts en composition et découvre peu à peu l’art du mix.
Deux ans plus tard, elle quitte Tahiti pour se reconnecter à ses racines bretonnes. Installée à Rennes, elle se fait rapidement connaître pour ses sets énergiques et sans frontières, naviguant à travers des genres comme la bouncy break, le baile funk, la deconstructed club, la UK bass, Jersey et Booty Club.
Résidente DJ du collectif Vilaines Teufs, Antilogic insuffle une énergie intense, queer, créative et débridée dans ses performances. Elle est également résidente Radio Vacarme et co-créatrice de la web radio BARK avec les Chiennes De l’Hexagone, où elle met à coeur la mise en lumière de talent de la musique électronique sous toutes ses formes, en particulier celles des artistes queer et populaires.
Son but ? Redonner à la fête son âme éclectique et son essence même : danser et voyager tous-tes ensemble.
