What lies on the terrain for which no map exists? Tifra has volunteered to take the plunge and find out. For the 28th record on Haŵs, the Dutch DJ/producer steps up to the frontline with ‘Terra Incognita’ – a primitive force to be reckoned with that reveres the hypnotising, ominous unknown. Four investigational tracks unify the checkpoints, wandering through themes of 00s/90s leftfield house, prog, and continuous, undulating grooves. The EP sets sail with ‘Invoke Hysteria’, scavenging through malevolent, hostile waters and a caution of pad synths, drums and agitated melodies.

Relenting onwards, ‘Serpent’ slinks into a mellow respite, moving slowly and deliberately like a snake in the moonless dark. Deep, resonant synths coil around the percussive heartbeat of the track, weaving together velvet layers of bass, wind instruments and steady, surrendering exhalations of breath.

The titular ‘Terra Incognita’ hoists up the anchor and yields to the trance of the summoning liquid night. Repetitive melodies form the contours of its shifting course, moulding a ritualistic rhythm under the dissolving face of the sky. 

Admo steps up to the wheel for the remix, smoking out the initial perfume of the atmospherics into a new, tough brutality. Hauling the track out of its initial spacey orbit, he re-embellishes it with dour synths, drums and a primal, subterranean growl.

Some say that there is no worse poverty than that of connection, so why not be the first to take the risk, break the divide and find out what lies beyond the veil? Otherwise, make your own guesses, and then let them guess who you are.

PREMIERE: Tifra - Serpent

Secretsundaze’s 9FINITY imprint make it a hat trick of releases with label favourite DJ Life’s ‘Forbidden Space’ EP. 

Pre-Order: https://9finity.bandcamp.com/album/9finity003-dj-life-forbidden-space-ep

The four track release from the Naarm/Melbourne native is a techy excursion that subtly meshes elements of minimal with modern UK bass dynamics, informed by the Australian’s psychedelic production style.

‘Utility’ sparks the ignition with a bass-driven peak time beast that morphs through syncopated grooves and punchy drops, the A2 ‘Electrolyte’ takes a hedonistic turn where resonant tones spiral across a rolling 4x4 drum groove. 

‘Breathe’ steers us onto the B-side with dubbed out subs and percussive layers fusing up across this impeccable roller. ‘Stay Playful’ takes on a early-tech house feel with tribal drums and hypnotic echoes that venture on throughout the night. Digital bonus track ‘Love Sensation’ draws UK-Garage influences combined with lush pads and quirky vocal snippets drifting amid the tops.

PRE-ORDER

9FINITY003 DJ Life - Forbidden Space EP

When DJ Life gives you lemons, press ‘em on vinyl. 4 zesty tech house nuggets bringing the swing and vitality in a big way. 

Keeping it widescreen throughout and the percussion pulls focus. At times slick and sultry, at others more ominous and ill-tempered, we’re dishing out high-velocity dynamics across four distinct trax. Constantly nudging towards the peak-time, but with plenty of breathy sensuality and dappled melody as he flexes a detailed, sound-sensitive approach.

Drums, drums and more drums. You know the deal by now: direct torque in full effect as we traverse the rugged, funked-out and percussive. Plenty of trippy flourish for good measure too, from humid fusions of rainforest FX and hallucinatory detail to light trail synths punching through inky abyss. 

It all recalls Terry Francis and his Housey Doingz project at the peak of their powers - big stabs, big forward momentum. Think the golden era of their Wiggle parties circa 1999.

Von Riu makes his Proxima debut with Gore-Tek, a high-voltage fusion of delirious, sexy, and proggy club sounds, engineered for full-throttle dancefloor pressure. The Parisian producer sharpens his signature sound into razor-edged, hypnotic grooves, injecting each track with an electrified, biomechanical pulse.

Somewhere between cybernetic warfare and splattered synths, Gore-Tek sounds like the aftermath of a rogue AI discovering club music—glitching, twisting, and rewiring its sonic DNA with surgical precision. Industrial-strength basslines meet liquid futurism, forging a dancefloor experience that’s as menacing as it is euphoric.

Berlin label SEVEN announce their fourth EP release courtesy of rising local talent Posture and Sparkly Pony. Sweat Repetition, featuring remixes from 131bpm and Eoin DJ, arrives 28th March on vinyl and all platforms via SEVEN. Launched in 2024 by Berlin artist CRYME, queer and FLINTA-leaning label SEVEN play at the tantalising intersection of house and techno with their unique brand of uplifting, genre-defying sounds that speak to the heart of the global underground. Much more than a label, SEVEN is a movement - fostering community, highlighting underrepresented voices and redrawing industry standards with transparency and integrity. In just a year the label is already being recognised as a vital force on the electronic music scene with a keen eye for next gen talent, and with Sweat Repetition from Posture and Sparkly Pony as their fourth release it’s clear to see why.

Australian born DJ, producer and queer/ trans collective ‘Cuties’ co-founder, Toby Perks (she/her) aka Posture is the dance-floor diva of your dreams. Since making Berlin her base in 2022, she’s been a familiar face leading the dance at all of the city’s best underground parties and clubs from Tresor to Amina at Else. Renowned for soul-enriching sets of all flavours, from sun-soaked euphoria to sultry late night gems, whether she is DJing or producing her talent for igniting the mood is unmatched.

For Sweat Repetition, Posture teams up with fellow Berlin party-starter, DJ and master of captivating grooves, Sparkly Pony. Co-founder of queer collective SWEAT since 2014 and a DJ since teenagehood, Sparkly Pony made his way to Berlin via the Swedish and Danish club scenes where he quickly made his mark. On their new collaborative EP, over five tracks (including blistering edits from Ireland’s Eoin DJ and dance-floor troublemaker 131bpm) the duo dive into laid-back, soothing soundscapes combined with energetic drum workouts that will have sweat dripping on repeat.

Closing us out is Irish producer Eoin DJ with their delightful ‘Stretch & Repeat’ edit. Brimming with buoyant rave energy, dynamic drumwork and quirky sonic details, Eoin delivers the goods with this belter of a remix that transforms the mellower sensibilities of the original into a peak-time pumper.

This glorious EP is a must-listen showcase of two one-to-watch rising talents in Posture and Sparkly Pony, Sweat Repetition. Expertly balancing soft and hard across five excellent tracks, the goods are delivered time and again. Another immaculate release from SEVEN whose star continues to ascend as they bring the creme of Berlin’s queer club sonics to the global stage.
