For its 16th instalment, Swiss label CAF? invites DJ duo Charlotte aux Fretz to curate a compilation EP, building bridges between the French and Swiss contemporary club scenes. Ignited while organising and attending free parties, "Rave Alert" covers a whole range of atmospheres one could encounter during these summer nights. From phone-lit forest journeys to sweaty peak-time dance floor moments, all the way to hypnotic sunrises where the first rays of light reshape your surroundings.

Dub-tech master Beatrice M. offers a great opening to the compilation, subtly combining their signature sonic ingredients with your favourite DJ meme. Amor Satyr drastically rises the cruising speed to 175bpm with his d&b infused track, while Lia Catreux follows the pace with a bouncy track that will keep your feet off the floor. The flip side starts with an introspective journey with Spirit Vortex Club's first recorded appearance, while Israfil keeps the energy high (and mercury retrograde away) with an uncompromising rave track. Yolek and Freeky (both previous CAF? contributors) wrap up the release with a slow but heavy closing burner. Last round of applause and you can finally go to bed (you think).

PREMIERE: RAVETOMBS - Moss Covers All [Backpocket Slammers]

Xan Bishop (US) and RAVETOMBS (UK) may be separated by 5,911.46 kilometres, but distance means nothing when souls are bound by the pulse of broken beats and dark, dynamic energy.

Xan Bishop brings the grit of Detroit’s underground, blending modern and old-school electro into a fresh, hard-hitting sound. Meanwhile, RAVETOMBS infuses the second half of the project with an uplifting yet uneasy mood, perfectly encapsulating and rounding off this edition of XP.

Together, they’ve fused their creative forces into a sonic entity—a banshee born over the depths of the North Atlantic, hellbent on delivering an auditory experience like no other.

XYSid - Wall Speak

PREORDER: https://pannotia.bandcamp.com/album/cell

'Cell' is a long awaited return by Gadigal Land/Sydney-based producer Pannotia. Released on the much loved Pure Space, the EP is a dense, evolving and fitting addition to the label's already cerebral catalogue.

Written between Gadigal Land & London over the last three years, 'Cell' sees Pannotia emulating the growth, division and chaotic synergy of natural processes through entirely unnatural means.

The EP's namesake, 'Cell', is a bubbling, growing and primordial take on techno that feels all too natural. Grinding synth & percussion pops throughout, as if to simulate the coming together of cells themselves, building an ecosystem of sound regularly punctuated by growling bass. 'Cell', much like the EP as a whole, feels alive.

Pure Space founder Andy Garvey said of the track that it's "a dense and hypnotic techno cut whose constantly evolving nature keeps you locked in," with the whole release "an ever-shifting ecosystem; alive with movement, modulation, and mutation."

'Cell' releases as a digital download on Pure Space's Bandcamp on Friday, May 2.

PREMIERE: Pannotia - 'Cell' [Pure Space]
