Over the past five years, Fever AM has given us a steady drip of exquisitely modern, genre-defying club music, from angular rhythm sculptures like Gacha Bakradze's "Daraji" to twisted party-rockers like Rhyw's "Biggest Bully."

To celebrate their fifth anniversary, label founders Mor Elian and Rhyw have put together a compilation that captures their strikingly fresh vision. "It's Not a Bug, It's a Feature" presents core Fever AM artists like Xen Chron and Ayesha alongside a few newcomers to the label, such as Pariah, MSJY, Peder Mannerfelt. Fans of the label know what to expect: soundsystem-tailored bangers with a surreal twist, for DJs that like to keep the crowd on their toes.

At long last, hi-tek whizz-kid Metrist returns to Timedance with the third addition to the ‘Pollen’ series and brings his epic trilogy started in 2019 to a breath-catching end.

Elevating an already unique approach of sonic craftsmanship to whole new levels, the London based producer delivers some of his wildest and most dramatic compositions to date while pushing further his signature blend of 22nd century dancefloor pyrotechnics.

From the angelic vocal cascades of opener « Leven Lever Liver Love » to the heart-wrenching heights of « Bullet Time », a playful and intricate display of cross-pollinated emotions shines through this collection of boundary pushing tracks, giving them a life of their own while bringing a stormy cycle of auditory experiments into human nature to completion

As thunderstorms form, pollen grains often ascend into clouds, soaking up humidity to a point they inevitably burst out, liberating innumerable particles that tumultuous winds send back to ground-levels.

With a false sense of distance and safety, we sit back and watch the lightning strike in complete awe, unaware of pollen slowly descending from the skies, making its way through our lungs and deep into our bodies ; the storm may be over, but Pollen has now fully become a part of us.

Pollen, Pt.III

Warzou - Eat It [Big Science Records]

Every day started and ended the same way – he would rise in the morning and sleep tightly in the evening. He would go to work, see the same people and do the same dance. He’d walk home the same way, catch the same train and sit by the same window.

He wondered how many times he might live upon repeat? One hundred and sixty times was it now? Who was counting anyway?

Tomorrow would be just like the one before, except he hoped it might be sunny. For if it were sunny then he might just smile once or twice, that was pretty good odds by his count.

Sputnik One’s N-Face is back with a new compilation showcasing music from a global assortment of up and coming producers keen to challenge the preconceptions and structures of electronic music. As a compilation this one runs wild featuring material from the likes of K Wata, LWS, Young Muscle and more.

However, it is Glimmerman’s track which we showcase today – a weighty affair destined to boom bap in loud systems and in discerning clubs.

Get your tickets for the Murky Forest national train, Christian Coiffure is back on Comic Sans Records with "Lookbook 2021-2023", an 8-track album meticulously crafted over the span of late summer 2021 to May 2023.

Bandcamp-connoisseur with an endless curiosity, Christian Coiffure rigorously collect deep club music from all around the world, making mind games sonorities his favorite playground. Rooted in dub aesthetics, "Lookbook 2021 - 2023" artfully weaves together sonic elements from minimalistic IDM, dubstep, abstract techno, and trancy tech-house, drawing inspiration from Coiffure's UK and aussie club music influences, intertwined with his appetite for experimental and deep electronic music.

The album seamlessly bridges two distinct worlds within the Rennes-based artist universe, offering tracks that cater to both the club environment and introspective listening. Standout compositions such as "Meet Her Stage 2," "9th Mind (Space Version)," and "Truth Gate" pulsate with an infectious energy, tailor-made for the dancefloor. Simultaneously, tracks like "Thorns of Reminder" and "Action (Chaos Mix)" invite listeners on introspective journeys, where atmospheric textures and intricate melodies create a foggy sonic sanctuary.

"Lookbook 2021-2023" serves as a testament to Coiffure's artistic vision and versatility, skillfully fusing diverse genres and moods into a cohesive and immersive musical experience. It's a reflection of his ability to navigate between the exhilarating realms of the club and the introspective depths of personal exploration, resulting in an album that resonates with both the body and the mind.

Sann Odea welcomes NAKANO BLU ( @nakanoblu ) to the label with his spectacular ‘Sentadona’ EP. The Amsterdam-based producer means business and delivers four high-energy club tracks.

After his early days of lo-fi house and dub techno, his practice moved into the sounds of IDM and diasporic-latin influenced club music. 
This evolution is evident in the title track, where the Spanish-born artist showcases his talent for blending unconventional rhythms, dark textures, and FX, all while maintaining a danceable and effective style for the club. On ‘Deconstructivisme,’ NAKANO collaborated with fellow Amsterdam-based producer Berman, resulting in a bass-driven journey featuring a catchy melody and an unexpected twist. As for ‘Broken Glass Inside My Shoes,’ the title speaks for itself. NAKANO’s experimental side takes the lead, crafting an eerie yet bold track with enough subs to shake your core.

The EP concludes in style with ‘Ortiga,’ where NAKANO switches to the ever-effective 4x4 rhythm for the first time, showcasing his ability to contrast raw organic sounds with the synthetic nature of electronic club music.

Tracklist:
1. NAKANO BLU - Sentadona
2. NAKANO BLU & Berman - Deconstructivisme
3. NAKANO BLU - Broken Glass Inside My Shoes
4. NAKANO BLU - Ortiga

Out now on Crosstown Rebels: ffm.to/krustctr

On 6th November Bristolian master Krust presents 'The Edge Of Everything' – his first album in 14 years. The pre-eminent electronic icon – who continuously blew minds throughout the 90s and 00s – has returned from a 10 year hiatus rejuvenated and artistically freed.

He took time out to explore liberating new philosophical, mental and creative processes, then employed an approach he describes as “80% psychology and 20% mechanics”, to strive for something authentically unique and original. And the results really show; this is Krust as futurist revisionist, on his best ever form, making exhilarating standout music of depth and substance, which sounds unlike anything else.

Inspired by everything from Christopher Nolan to Hegel, Martin Scorsese to The Kabbalah, Krust is ready to shake things up with his wildly engrossing new sonics. On this multi-layered masterpiece parallel threads run simultaneously, operating as gripping fantasy tale, profound trip into Ego death and rebirth, deeply personal expression, and all-inclusive proposal for the improvement of creativity and global society.

‘The Edge Of Everything’ is as much a movie as it is an album, with a combination of adventure and brains that shares DNA with the metaphysical blockbuster ‘Inception.’ In turns psychological thriller, action romp and sci fi space opus, the album has a narrative arc which charts a physical, mental and spiritual journey to far beyond and back, full of detours and levels.

The record champions embracing the unknown and tackling the uncomfortably unfamiliar, with an unnamed protagonist at the precipice, with no choice but to take a leap of faith. Diving headfirst into the unexplored realms, a perilous quest of self-discovery is undertaken, before finally returning home, forever changed for the better. “This is something everyone is the world is faced with now; as we enter the abyss of unprecedented times, uncertainty and turmoil, we have to face the reality of our future and adapt”, comments Krust.

He adds, “even if we’re dragged kicking and screaming, we’re going into a new world, whether we like it or not. Some people don’t want change and are reluctant to do something different, but in myself and others I'm pushing forward to show our capabilities and say that we don’t need be afraid. We have to embrace change, come to terms with life in a different way, and find different approaches. We need to take risks.

It's the same with certain scenes and genres, which musicians shouldn’t feel handcuffed to. We shouldn’t try and maintain the status quo – it's gone now anyway! Do we want new and wonderful, or more of the same? We’re going into new world kicking and screaming, whether we like it or not. We're at a fork in the road and there’s no way back.”

Although a universal hero/heroine, it’s possible the protagonist is an avatar of Krust himself, who following a breakdown left his familiar world of music and entered uncharted territory. “I walked away, took a stap back to discover new things and re-think. I went on retreats and workshops, meditated, studied beliefs and neuro-linguistic programming, and thought a lot about creativity and consciousness. I had to really consider, ‘who is Kirk Thompson’?”

When making the album, Krust shattered his usual preconceptions, life patterns and working methods; he scattered them across the galaxy, explored the unknown, gathered the shards, and returned – reassembling them into brand new fantastical shapes.
