WHAT WE LOVE

Copy of PS023 - CHEAHDX - Visage

Pablo Arrangoiz, a man of many monikers, has quite a few experimental releases as well as some dance floor treasures under his belt. His work navigates unholy experimental sounds, spooky atmospheric endeavors, clownish takes on Bach’s canons and much more. The Gurner, released under his new alias Baüzer Vep, fits the bill perfectly: it induces you in a dream-like, slightly nightmarish state, but does so with irony and without neglecting grooves.

”Trailcam is the latest focus project from Toronto-based artist Rita Mikhael, formerly known by the moniker E-Saggila. A bold artistic statement, the project continues to expand the boundaries of her evolving sonic landscape.

Drawing from a lifelong immersion in music ’Drumlin Loop’ opens with a hip-hop-inflected instrumental track before unfolding into more cerebral, textured terrain—offering a sonic journey that is both introspective and unapologetically singular.

Staying true to her ethos of creative freedom, Mikhael defies genre constraints and expectations. Trailcam embodies this restless artistic drive, showcasing her distinctive ability to weave emotional depth into bold, experimental compositions”

Pure Space presents Inconsistent Report, the latest transmission from Ngunnawal/Ngambri-based up-and-comer 5RT, a hardware specialist pushing club sonics into alien territory.

5RT delivers a cut that’s as heady as it is functional. Inconsistent Report is peak-time pressure sculpted with clinical precision; all tension, texture, and tectonic low-end. The kind of techno that mutates mid-set and flips dancefloors inside out.

With roots in experimental electronics and a growing rep for going deep, this marks a fitting Pure Space debut: high-impact, future-facing, and built to rip.

Acid Temple Mix V

With this mix, I have focused specifically on progressive deep drum and bass. 
I first discovered this type of music a few years ago through Reeko. Since my sound is so diverse and I enjoy playing techno as well as bass music, DnB, and jungle and blending all those together, I was fascinated by how Reeko manages to create a very technoid atmosphere and mood at the speed of DnB or halftime DnB, forming a sound that felt very new to me, yet was not too hard or overpowering, but can sound very soft, soulful, and textured. 

It’s the genre that best reflects my diverse sound and the emotions I’m trying to evoke. At this intersection somewhere between techno, bass music, DnB and progressive trance, it blends psychedelic trippy textures with pulsating hypnotic rhythms. It feels dark, sometimes dramatic, with a tribal or ritualistic undertone, sometimes even mystical and otherworldly. It’s very immersive to me, with spatial effects that create a sense of depth and forward motion without relying on obvious drops or formulaic structures. In every genre I play I almost had the biggest weakness for melancholic and emotionally deep music, which is also portrayed in this mix.

I hope you’re somewhere quiet and mentally and physically in the right space to close your eyes and let it create it’s own atmosphere in your head.

With love,
Cynthia

Pure Space presents the debut EP from Naarm-via-Boorloo artist CHEAHDX (Darren Cheah), co-founder of Step Count & Serendipity, and a familiar force across Australia’s underground. Known for his genre-fluid DJ sets, CHEAHDX distills a decade of dancefloor energy into four cuts built for the system.

Opening track ‘Earthbound’ sets the tone with heady momentum, bass-fuelled pressure driving straight into hybrid genre territory, a hefty bass workout to kick things off.

‘Li-Ion’ keeps the pace high, a minimal trance cut sharpened with break-driven percussion and razor-edged sampling. The track levitates, then lets loose, landing squarely on the floor with peak-time energy.

Pulling back the tempo, ‘Monte De Pedra’ drops into subterranean mode, a low-slung bass workout, equal parts wobble and restraint. It’s dance music for lean-back hours, stretching tension through its sub-heavy architecture.

Closing with the title track, ‘Visage’ blends dreamy pads and whirling horns with expertly sculpted subs, a hybrid closer that ties the EP together in a haze of depth and motion.

CHEAHDX’s debut EP on Pure Space marks a producer fully in command of his craft. With roots in bass, breaks, and leftfield electronics (and years clocked on the dancefloor), Visage lands with steeze, weight, and intent.

Exactly one year ago, @qwqwqwqwa opened our "Kontext Mix" monthly podcast series, marking the beginning of his work with the label. This was followed by "barely quantized", the first full-length release on Kontext.

Today we’re continuing that story by announcing his residency and sharing the recording of his live set from this summer’s release party in the Old Factory. His musical vision, knowledge and dedication have always impressed us, and we’re glad to say that Kvisha and Exthract have exciting things coming in 2026.
