Pre-order here: https://standard-deviation.bandcamp.com/album/standard-deviation-2

The first of two tracks from @ddan-tek as part of Kyiv-based record label @standarddeviation's Split EP series, aiming to foster intercultural exchange, collaboration and friendship between Ukraine and the international community. 

For the second Vinyl project, emerging Ukrainian musician Omon Breaker shares the stage with Berlin-based Mala Junta Resident D.Dan.
The Split format is a musical dialogue between two worlds, backgrounds and stories, referencing stylistic roots of electronic music history and production. Seattle raised D.Dan on the A-Side with 'Post Kyiv' reflects on his musical journey, with high-energy trance and groovy summer techno.

The Wave is Estella Boersma's latest Single, released on Lobster Theremin.

Berlin based producer Estella Boersma announced themselves with a debut on Unknown to the Unknown’s Dance Trax imprint and a string of appearances in the infamous HOR bathroom have followed – including one at Crave Festival – generating a positive stream count thanks to their varied DJing style; floating between techno, bass, breaks, electro and old school rave.

Now debuting on Lobster Theremin, Estella serves up four assorted club cuts that perfectly exemplify the energy felt front-left at one of their sets.

‘The Wave’ is the most quintessential Estella track on the release – brimming with acid, breakbeats and warehouse rave energy, channelling older XL Recordings-inspired sounds and modern-punk electronic aesthetics. ‘Dial’ is frantic, stripped-back and raw - an angelic, colourful techno trip through pixelated palm trees and psychedelic sunrises.

‘Transfer’ drains the colour from its fabric as light turns to dark. Headsy, underground appeal blends with bouncy fun on a cut of wobbly 4x4 that sounds like something you might hear in a Chloe Robinson set, before high pitched-vocals and sped-up synths dazzle and delight with something that sits between techno, footwork and classic Chicago house.

zonedout - WEBCORE TRACK 438 (prod. phntmzn bR)

Issa Party founder, @pleasetrax presents a decade of tracks built on a Chicago footwork foundation, weaving cold, icy textures with borrowed sounds from Indonesia, China, and the UK. Across these works, the project expands into club styles adjacent to Chicago’s history, while reflecting on personal identity as a reaction to the global rise in populism.
