So good... one of my favorite tracks in a while!

Time Under Tension is the aptly named debut release from Anthony Jimenez, an artist/ DJ who has really evolved his craft since relocating to Detroit in 2012 where his dark, driving techno sets have been a feature of Blank Code events and podcasts. In the opening track, Eternal, the only percussion you will hear is the occasional clang of metal on metal being churned through effects designed to exploit hidden resonant harmonics. Layered dissonant synths create a thick drone that carries through the track, creating some real head bending textures. Dissonance brings a heavy atmosphere that really stands out against it's straightforward kick and minimal percussion. Sharp stabs mutate as they echo into each other and trail off into the darkness.  Conflict balances a funky kick with on point hats and haunting synths that resonate from background to foreground as heavily reverberated bursts of noise get stuck in the track's dubby delay line.

Hypertrophy is Detroit style Techno at it's finest. A warehouse-worthy kick and hats on the ups support the ring modulated percussion that forms the track's loopy hook, with crunchy claps coming in only when needed. Guaranteed to bring energy to any atmosphere.  Non Compliant is an intense atmosphere builder. Textural peaks and valleys are held together by driving techno rhythms and a deep low kick that will challenge any subwoofer.  Rounding out the EP is Sinaloa, which uses a rhythmic hard hitting kick to bring in haunting sounds and voices. Well programmed effects create poly-rhythms that melt into the atmosphere of the track. Great for the dancefloor or a night drive through the city.

Currently celebrating 20 years of exploits and shenanigans, Enemy Records is back with a 4-track various artists EP featuring label-owner Dustin Zahn, Viels, Slone, and K.U.S.S. “IMMOLATION” exists as the spiritual successor of Enemy’s previous 4-track V.A., “BREAK A FANCY VASE.” The result is four infectious club tracks designed for optimal damage.

Zahn starts oﬀ with “Surrender the Body,” a deep narrative-focused roller designed especially for late night party people dealing with a lot of internal dialogue going on. If the meditative vocals are too much, he also supplies an alternative instrumental version, like any proper vocal
club track should have!

Slone’s “Throttled” is a heads down minimalistic roller expertly filled with tension. These moments of tension break with in-your-face synth work sprinkled in at just the right moments, leading to massive responses on the dance floor.

Parisian producer KUSS finally makes his label debut with “Encounter,” a polyrhythmic percussive workout that functions as a perfect tool for working DJs. The track features the perfect balance of sci-fi elements and club functionality.

Viels finishes oﬀ the EP with “Nessun Battito.” Viels combines dreamy call-and-response hooks with steady yet crafty 909 workouts to build a perfect introspective-leaning vibe that still works great at peak time.

RADIAL- Alterego Sessions #009

Mary Yuzovskaya's Monday Off rounds out 2025 with its eighth vinyl-only various artists compilation, arriving 12th December, featuring Feph, Rasser, Mathys Lenne, and Xhato.

Opening the record is Florida's Feph, co-operator of Alchemista Records and Zosimos, with 'A Realization', where wild electric currents crackle over a subtle, sharp beat as shocks and zaps scatter into the darkness. Spanish DJ and producer Rasser follows with 'Constant Pulse', a hulking techno chugger of warped rhythms and hammering metallic hits.

On the flip, France-born Germany-based Mathys Lenne, known for outings on Mord, ORBE, and Blue Hour, offers 'A Gentle Singularity', its tumbling percussion and drone-like synth casting a hypnotic spell while sparkling high-end shimmers above. Previous Monday Off contributor Xhato then closes with 'Lemon Swirl', a mystical finisher where soft sequences snake through brooding ambience, providing a guiding light as the kick drum marches resolutely.

Pdcst 井124 - LARAÑA

Originally released on Yousef&#8217;s Circus Recordings via the acclaimed Circus-X compilation, the same album that also spawned &#8216;Green Velvet&#8217; Bigger Than Prince, which with its remix package of course went on to be a global phenomenon.

Here Scuba&#8217;s single comes in three moods and three incredible versions

First up Nicole Moudaber continues the theme of the original but adds here trademark thunder, yet remarkably a more melodic area than she has walked previously. 
Cuartero drops a killer remake. pumping, nasty, freaky, and unbelievable breakdown, and huge for Yousef on his recent North American tour pre promo. 
Bambook and Mennie team up delivering a classy warm and inviting, 
Interpretation reminiscent of their releases of their home labels no19 and culprit. 

NICOLE MOUDABER

Since establishing herself as a promoter of the highest quality, London based, Nicole Moudaber has transitioned to become a highly respected and sought after DJ and producer with regular appearances at Carl Cox&#8217;s Revolution night at Space Ibiza and for the Circoloco brand around the world. Not to mention some of the worlds leading festivals such as WMC, Time Warp and Glastonbury. Showcasing her diverse taste in music and curation skills Nicole also runs her own label Mood Records, presents In the MOOD radio show and has two recurring club nights for intimate and big room events, In the MOOD and MoodRAW respectively. As she looks forward to her own huge one-day festival, original productions for high-profile labels and remixes on her own label, Nicole presides over an empire that continues to grow in stature and the future looks full of exciting prospects.

Scuba - Too Strong (Nicole Moudaber Remix) [Circus Recordings]

Thundering his way back onto Skyline Type Grooves, Jason Fernandes lands two heavy hitting tracks which have been sending dance floors into a frenzy. 

Pillar of Support contains lush hits and melodies with an infectious groovy bass line rolling hard throughout. Illusions has a superb leading bass hook with tribal elements sprinkled over a more stomping low foundation. Both submissions provide examples of the Londoner's capability to push those clean, heavy hitting productions.
