France via Hong Kong artist Romain FX joins the Sound Of Vast roster this October with the ‘Musique De Maison’ EP, including a remix from Monkey Timers.

Romain has been a key innovator in the Hong Kong & Asian music scene for the past 18 years in various different facets, building bridges between cultures and erasing borders through music. He has since taken a step into the world of production and his music has been played by some of the biggest acts in the game such as DJ Harvey, The Black Madonna, Gerd Janson, Horse Meat Disco, Skatebärd, Lauer, Tornado Wallace, Lipelis, Orpheu The Wizard, Kamma & Masalo and many more. Here his musical production story continues with his latest collection of works coming via the esteemed Tokyo imprint, Sound Of Vast.

Leading the release is title-cut ‘Musique De Maison’, a five-minute excursion through organic percussion grooves, snaking elongated bass tones, intricately intertwined vintage-leaning synth melodies and an overall cosmic disco aesthetic that reflects Romain’s borderless, cross-cultural sound. ‘Tonal Spices’ follows and ups the energy levels with a sturdy rhythm section, squelchy acid licks, murky bass stabs, Indian vocals and cinematic strings ebbing and flowing throughout.

Monkey Timers take on ‘Musique De Maison’ next with their interpretation extracting the core essence of the original and reshaping it into a dynamically unfurling rework, fusing fragments of the original with expansive delays, heavy reverberations and modulating synth work. The ‘Psych-O-Delic (Live Mix)’ then concludes the release with off-kilter drums running in combination with, as the name would suggest, tripped-out melodies, processed spoken word and warbling synth licks — a nod to Romain’s playful, surrealist edge.

Pyatigorsk-born dynamo b0n dishing out some naughty breaks on X-Kalay sub-label, Another Place.

Four distinct traxxx going from full-blown seismic tremors to lithe, dreamier fare. A love letter to the halcyon days of ‘90s hardcore, perhaps?

Synths darting (just how we like ‘em), ragga vocal samples enhancing that UK kinda feel. First track sounds a bit like something you might have heard in some disused airplane hangar circa ’92.

Kicking off with a trio of straight-to-the-point accelerators and closing on some lush, levitational gear. Hi-octane rave utopia or blistering ride into oblivion? You decide.

He said not to mess with his breaks. Nuff said really.

PREMIERE: b0n - Psycholectric

Step through the threshold of liminality with Sid Praja genre-bending new project occupying the space where identities dissolve and new shapes emerge.

Inspired by the guiding radiance of a hidden protector, the EP weaves compassion and swiftness through shimmering melodies and potent low-end. Assembling basslines triggered on the edge of recognition, break-infused rhythms and psychedelic trance motifs, echoing the ambiguous state of being not-quite-here, not-quite-there.

London’s La bonne musique welcomes label veteran Scaefa for his latest release, for a 2 track euphoric, club-ready EP, inspired by the darker and more downtempo side of jungle, drum & bass, acid house and rave.

“Trying to find an intersection between the classic sounds of labels like Metalheadz, and the driving trance and techno influences of labels like Neptune Discs felt like an exciting area to explore. They’re definitely intended for the club - I wanted to make sure they were upfront and in your face, whilst still having plenty of atmosphere, nostalgia and delicate moments weaved in too. It was fun to take pieces from various moments of dance music history and try to turn those into something new.” - Scaefa

After a very successful debut VA earlier this year — supported internationally by Job Jobse,Roza Terenzi, Anz, and Gearmaster — Flip The Lid returns with its second release: Rolly Bump Vol 2; an expansive VA compilation that dives deeper into the progressive underground. Where the first release focused tightly on progressive house and trance, FTL002 embraces a broader sonic spectrum — tracing a line from groove-heavy house through to high-energy progressive trance, even venturing into goa and psy-inspired territory… The result is a boundary-stretching, club-ready collection that still holds true to the label’s deep, proggy core.Featuring contributions from both established underground names and rising talent across the globe, this compilation reflects the label’s growing global network and its continued focus on

PREMIERE: Aika Mal - Obsession [Flip The Lid]

Cyphon Recordings proudly presents the latest release from Berwick, a Sheffield by Bristol producer and DJ carving out a reputation for razor-sharp electro and forward-thinking club sounds. With a background steeped in underground electronic music, Berwick has steadily built his name through a string of uncompromising releases and energetic live and DJ sets, blending the grit of classic electro with a modern rave-inspired touch. His new EP showcases his most refined work yet—four tracks built for the floor, designed to move bodies and shake systems.
 
Opening with ‘Fall & Melt’, Berwick sets the tone with a punchy, contemporary electro cut. Its driving percussion, crisp groove, and propulsive energy make it a peak-time weapon, balancing raw dancefloor impact with seriously fat production finesse. Next up, ‘Powerflip‘ dives deeper into the shadows. Gnarly synth lines, guttural bass, and clipped vocal hits collide to create a darker, more menacing side of Berwick’s electro vision. With eyeball-rattling low-end, it’s a track that demands a big system to unleash its full force.
 
On ‘Impossible’, Berwick shifts gears into an even faster lane. Elasticated bass and synths bounce around the crisp drum groove, pushing the pace with an adrenaline-fueled rhythm that’s as urgent as it is infectious.   Rounding off the EP, fellow Bristolian Sam Lester takes ‘Powerflip‘ into new territory with a remix that leans towards wonky tech house. Stripping back some of the raw menace of the original, Lester reshapes it with a 4 on the floor kick, layering in hypnotic textures and a slick low-end that makes it a tripped-out weapon for house and techno sets alike.
 
This release cements Berwick’s position as an artist unafraid to push electro into bold and uncompromising spaces, while also opening the door to cross-genre interpretations.

PREMIERE : Berwick - Fall & Melt


Four producers, four shades of motion: dubby pressure, sleek trance energy, and tripped-out house psychedelia built for the floor.
Our next va release brings together versatile club cuts sitting between house and trance. Familiar faces return — Tifra, Gearmater (fka Abdul Raeva) — and newcomers Olsvangèr and Earth Trax, each adding their own weight to the release.

In October 2025, the pulse of Tokyo’s underground resurfaces through Kanse, co-founder of the city’s acclaimed Abducted Groove collective. His sophomore EP, Get Down, arrives via the now Paris-based Liquid Love Records, marking a refined yet raw evolution in his unmistakable electro language.

Having released on revered, dancefloor-focused imprints like Club Designs, Minuit Rapide and Liquid Love Records, Kanse has carved out a distinct space in the global electro movement — merging the mechanical precision of Detroit’s legacy with the emotional intensity of Japan’s modern club sound.

Get Down sharpens that fusion. Where his earlier work explored deep, shape-shifting rhythms, this record leans into propulsion: a tightly wound interplay of rugged machine funk, broken acid patterns, and sleek, synthetic atmospheres. Every track feels alive — elastic, restless, and aimed squarely at the physical core of the dance floor.

Beneath the voltage, there’s restraint and detail. Kanse’s command of space and rhythm reflects the same sensibility that drives Abducted Groove’s club nights — a place where electro isn’t nostalgic, but vital and forward-looking.

With Get Down, Kanse doesn’t simply revisit electro’s roots; he accelerates them. The album stands as both a continuation and a clear message — his frequency, and unique sounds are here to stay.

Basement Beats Records welcomes UK-born, Melbourne-based producer Charlie Tennger for its seventh release, Lagoon Dreams, a three-track voyage through aquatic soundscapes where celestial pads, rolling rhythms, and pulsating basslines conjure a submerged world lost in cyberspace.

With over 18 years of production experience, Tennger has steadily evolved his sound, channeling the euphoric energy of late 90s and early 2000s dance music into a distinctly modern form. Since relocating to Melbourne, his style has taken a darker, more progressive turn, fusing the nostalgia of 90s rave culture with contemporary depth and detail.

The title track, "Lagoon Dreams," opens the journey with vibrant stabs, dreamlike vocals, and propulsive percussion that merge into a transportive, high-definition soundscape. "Solar Spells" follows, plunging deeper into uncharted waters with twisting rhythms, alien textures, and a
low-slung bassline that ripples through shadowy terrain.

Rounding off the release, Paris-based artist CO.KO. delivers a club-ready reimagining of the title cut, a hypnotic late-night version that drags the listener into deeper, murkier waters. A rising name in the French scene, CO.KO. has been turning heads with a string of impressive releases
and a forthcoming collaboration with Dutch duo Match Box.

Garnering strong support from the likes of Roza Terenzi, Or:la, Gene On Earth, Jennifer Cardini, The Trip, BASHKKA and Secretsundaze, Lagoon Dreams captures Basement Beats’ continued exploration of progressive, otherworldly dance music, a deep dive into the past, re-engineered for the future.

For the first time, Endrik Schroeder and The Hacker have joined forces. Their unique sounds and styles have combined seamlessly to produce a 12” that draws on their own musical histories. The title track pulls the listener into a darkened sweaty basement, a space where neon lights leer and quivering speakers vibrate. Melting elements of new beat and rave revelry, the track is bawdy and bold. Robotic samples cut through siren blasts, clean snare rolls skidding in thick basslines and creamy breaks. Two remixes follow, both care of fellow French producer: Back From The Wave. First up is the “Breaky Remix”. Adhering to the club origins of the source material, this remake sends melodies ever higher as drums lift elated lines to the stern refrain of “Emergency”. The “Indie Remix” closes. The glowsticks are sheathed in this version, instead it is the soaring keys that are given the limelight with beats bolstered for extra bite. Three tracks set to delight and ignite dancefloors.
