Coming on the scene on Bambounou's Bambe label, Munich based producer @Polygonia presents 'Otro Mundo'. An exciting pack of extraordinary sonic pieces driven by intense rhythms with a strong focus on sound design and colorful harmonies. Next to her intriguing Grey Area works on this record, she also weaves two four to the floor productions into this collection, all featuring complex works on the drums and juicy sound aesthetics.

The story begins with 'Otro Mundo,' as Polygonia extends a harmonious and melancholic invitation, blending her own layered vocals with organic dubby beats, creating a captivating otherworldly atmosphere. Throughout the EP, Polygonia's distinct percussion and inventive sound design shine brightly. 'Mind Alteration' and 'Implosion Of The Known' lead the listener through mesmerizing groove-scapes, elevating perception to new heights. As the EP unfolds, 'Never Have I Seen...' offers a metaphysical experience, unveiling unknown marvels through rhythmic shifts.

The record comes with an impressive sleeve designed by Dimitri Erhard, representing the window to the other world.

Polygonia - Otro Mundo [BAMBE004]

For centuries, the drum and its practitioners have been stewards to the physical and ancestral planes.

Detroit afroteknologist Huey Mnemonic advances his sound into a tomorrow unheard with his latest Subsonic Ebonics record, Brainscraatch, a 4-tracker of his researched and highly developed Afriko Tekno.

A portal tears open with the speaker splitting ‘Ankhobi’, blurring the lines between ritual and rave. An opening ceremony of a drum circle in the year 3000, knocking on the door of a domain beyond our own.

Entering the gateway with ‘Brainscraatch’ , a peak time percussive calling where a high pitched whine of sacred electronics becomes the foundation for a slippery hypnotic rhythm. Warranting a double take for the heads in the back fully immersed into the moment.

The portal collapses onto the unknown with the dramatic closer ‘Slipping Into Madness’. Rushing you beyond the dance into a flow state where time and space behave a little differently.
Offering his own perspective, Sard shares a jacking ‘Rescratch’ of the title track, leaning into an acidic groove faithful to the timeless freak funk of the midwest.

With this release, Mnemonic forges ahead to the borderlands of techno, leaving us with an ancient-to-the-future message, “What awaits on the other side can only be found through sound.”

James Bangura vs JR2k [FSPD002]

A1. James Bangura + JR2k - Time Crisis
A2. James Bangura + JR2k - Pump Fake
B1. JR2k - Machine Learning
B2. JR2k - Rain Heavy

Floorspeed brings it home to DC with its first release in 2025 from local techno standout producers, James Bangura & JR2k (Jackson Ryland). Many know Bangura from his contributions to the Black Rave Culture crew and his numerous solo releases; others have heard of Ryland under the Rush Plus and Superabundance alias duos and as label boss of Floorspeed…all those credentials culminate in a superb piece of heavy techno for FSPD002.

First up - two turbo mode collab tracks. A1’s “Time Crisis” captures a latent sense of urgency and pressure felt in everyday life with subtly intensifying builds throughout the track. This one’s ready for peak time exposure. “Pump Fake” continues with integrated elements of surprise, switching up at key moments to accelerate any dancefloor on a dime.

Flipping the record to B1, JR2k goes solo with “Machine Learning,” a gritty, industrial-tinged track that incorporates techno’s future-facing elements with a touch of raw power. A relentless pulse guides the track through its vast, mechanical atmosphere, designed for the late-night hours. Rain Heavy on B2 closes the EP with a hypnotic, atmospheric vibe for an absolute hands-in-the-air finish.
