Cocktail D'Amore know a thing or two about party starting wild cards, and thus far Lion's Drums has proven to be adept in that department with drops on Hivern Discs and his own self-titled label. He comes to the Cocktail party with two edits of Manos Tsangaris' powerful drum sermons - visceral percussive flurries from a man with enough rhythm to partake in the lauded Drums Off Chaos project. You should have a good idea from that what these two tracks are about - heavy, physical tracks for maximum dance induction, moments of pure abandon and the odd firework or two.

A release by Love In The Endz and Matraca

[untitled] Perú: Adentro es la segunda presentación de la colaboración curatorial entre los sellos Love in the Endz (UK) & Matraca (PE) enfocada en presentar al mundo talento del país Inca. En este volumen reunimos artistas peruanxs de distintas generaciones que trabajan desde dentro del país en un sonido único, cada cual a su manera, con artistas como: ARK, Carly Core, Cybernovia, Dr.100, Fer Lerant, Hatajo Som, Hanuna, Irazema, Khromatik, Pira Lemu, Shushupe, Vudufa, entre otros.

El Perú, al día de hoy, finales del 2025, atraviesa la crisis política y social más grave de su historia republicana con más de 8 presidentes en los últimos 10 años y los índices de violencia más altos de todos los tiempos. El congreso cooptado por el crimen organizado impone con leyes pro mafia y balas un régimen dictatorial y violento. Los militares apoyan esto así como el gobierno de USA que avanza en su intervención en el continente.

Mientras tanto en las calles el sicariato domina extorsionando a diario hasta a los más humildes trabajadorxs. Los músicos populares, por su parte, han comenzado a usar chalecos antibala en sus presentaciones ya que ya han asesinado a varios y herido a otros de bala en el escenario recientemente. Algunos, como la gran mayoría de jóvenes en el país desea, han optado por la migración como dejamos constancia en [untitled] Perú: Afuera.

La policía, por su parte, en vez de proteger a la ciudadanía se dedica a asesinar artistas (como TRVKO) e inocentes que reclaman por derechos, así como a reprimir la cultura y la libertad política. La Policía como el Estado y sus agentes han perdido ya total credibilidad.

La comunidad musical, frente a este panorama distópico y desolador, resiste firme creando con mayor ternura, o violencia, en sus ritmos y sonidos. De esta manera este álbum deja constancia de una diversidad que da cuenta de la riqueza cultural milenaria del Perú y una comunidad que exige Justicia y Dignidad para todxs lxs peruanxs.

Hell Yeah's Marco has been busy trawling the internet for new talents during lockdown. The result is a series of digital releases which will be rolling out in the coming months, kicking off with a new EP from Kayroy.

Kayroy is Finnian Langham, an artist from Melbourne, Australia, who in the last 12 months has released on Whiskey Disco and TheBasement, turning plenty of heads with his mature, sampladelic interpretations of funk, disco, house, boogie and soul. He got in touch with the label via email to ask for the vocal version of Giorgia Morandi's 'Children of the Sky'. "I couldn't find it," says Marco, "but after that he sent me a bunch of tracks that make up this EP. To my ears, it is fast, funked-up boogie with heavy Italo disco influences, acid and breakbeat, making it a very fresh selection to my ears."

Opener ‘Imagine’, produced with fellow Melbournite GREETINGS, is a glistening space disco cut with a sense of nostalgia rushing through its retro-future chords. It's filled with positive energy and gorgeous arps. 'Orbitale’ will get your butt wiggling with its sci-fi chord stabs and boogie bass. The whole thing shimmers and shines like a star in the night sky, filling you with warmth. The grown-up disco vibes continue on 'Galapagos' with its mellow acid bass, big stabs and kaleidoscopic arpeggios. The release is topped-off with a remix of ‘Imagine’ from Dawn Again, taking you to an old school chill-out room with its dreamy chords and hazy breakbeats, sinking you deep into a post-rave comedown.

This is a rich new EP from one of the fastest rising new names in the game

Culture Beat - No Deeper Meaning (Salvador Ricardo Hip House Rework)

As the sky began to turn an orange hue, she pulled out of her drive and into the empty street. Reaching the motorway she pushed her foot down hard on the accelerator, feeling the cool evening breeze drifting through the open windows. She loved driving at night. The roads were quiet, peaceful and gave her room to process her thoughts and feelings. It had become a nightly ritual and her purest form of escapism...

French duo, music platform and label Les Yeux Orange embark on the first instalment of their new Driving Blind compilation series. Following solo releases from the likes of M.S.L., Earth Trax & Newborn Jr. and Mytron & Ofofo, LYO cast their net far and wide for a lovingly curated compilation of boundary-pushing electronics from artists across the globe, including contributions from Cardopusher, Errortica, Timothy J. Fairplay, The Populists and Tecwaa.

DC Promo Tracks #653: Willie Graff & Tuccillo "Gliding"

A new philosophy as time enters a radical history of our evolution. Being and nothingness in one, creatures of habit, the angels of nature, we can herald a new humanity.

DJN4 enters in homage. Optimus Yarnspinner. Edification through music bends, but does not break the untameable lost voices. This dissolution of ego, where culture exemplifies the principle of innovation through excess, the nocturnal brain sees only what it seeks.

The order of time is more than a conspiracy of the people, this enforced interlude does not mean culture’s end. Our culture, music’s culture, acts as a genome, a graffiti of society.

The psy, the rave, the sounds, the species, the food of the gods. Alpha Juno, Cyclon 303, mutable instruments and ideas collated, N4’s modern mysticism to harness the Earth as a being of sound. This occult features an anarchism, offering us a collective immortality, allowing us, showing us, how to be more humane.

Across eight tracks, our DJ weaves a journey to the inner and outer digi sphere, a two-year search, in to steppas, out of dub, evoking legitimate synthesis and sensibility. Look beyond Zamonia. The lost Chord. An alien dreamtime. Tales of Z.

Cosmic Resonance, a vinyl imprint at the forefront of Toronto’s burgeoning underground dance community returns, this time with 100% Gone, the debut EP of fellow-Torontonian Inner Touch aka Nicolas Field. Having been heavy involved in the punk scene, Field manages to keep a distinct sense of that energized emotion constant as Inner Touch – swapping guitar riffs and snarling vocals for spacey synthesized textures and hypnotic drum sequences. Inner Touch carefully and creatively evokes a hidden longing for solace and self-discovery, something Field credits as driving elements for 100% Gone.

From the onset of 100% Gone, the listener is immersed in a buoyant, dreamlike soundscape. The EP begins with Dripping, and an immediate introduction to the electronic rabbit hole. A 4x4 kick drum cuts through the haze created by cosmic synth textures. Well executed percussion offers enough space for the deceptively deep and robust pads. Robotic sounds wisp through the mix, fluidly decentralizing the listeners focus to elements on the perimeter of the track. 

The video documents a solo psychedelic excursion across a remote island in Northern Ontario, captured on 8 mm film by Chavin Martel during the summer of 2018. The footage lay dormant until 2020, when it was edited to be released alongside Dripping

DC Promo Tracks #668: Blank Gloss "Sauce Alone"

Yozy - Angels Rage

There is definitely something "afro" inspired about this latest EP from Puma & The Dolphin, certainly in comparison to pretty much everything else the mysterious Bulgarian project have produced, including a great EP for Canadian imprint Chambre Noire and some stellar inclusions on every one of Dj soFa's highly respected "Elsewhere" compilations.

The story goes that while immersed in domestic life during lockdown in Sofia the music evolved to take in what was happening at home and saw the inclusion of toy instruments, drum playing, the voices of children playing and even the family parrots whistling and squawking in the background. These random ambient insertions when seen in the context of the hypnotic and percussive rhythms and timbres are oddly reminiscent of the late, great Francis Bebey who, although culturally and physically a million miles removed, was also known for recording much of his work at home and who also featured the voices of his children playing.

In fact, it is as much the music's playfulness and simplicity that give the pieces their distinctive character, at times echoing the repetition and mesmerism of Raymond Scott's "Soothing Sounds For Baby" series. Yet, childrens' music this is not. There is a mysticism and depth on one hand and a willingness to experiment on the other that echoes the pioneering experimentalist K. Leimer's early Eno-inspired tape outings (check "Supermarket" for example).

I asked Puma & The Dolphin's Nikko Names if he could share the story behind how these six tracks came together. He had this to say:

"This collection of pieces were created during a monotone period of my life which I have overlaid with colour: a time in which I surrender to the beauty of home life - watching my kids play, feeding the birds - entwining these sounds of my surroundings amongst the rhythmic layers of these pieces. Playing the drums to remind us of the next circle dance for four. There is something mystic to travel only in your head; a shamanic trip inside the body with no concepts and answers."

Autumn. In autumn, sadness and yellow leafs, slush and mud. Supermarket. Chips and Cola, 10 different  types of deodorants in the supermarket. No DJ mixes or good alcohol help to fight boredorm. Store shelves. On the layouts - fresh meat, meat - is a source of protein. The Cashier looks like an angry dog ​​at the checkout, The security looks like a stupid bull. That is supermarket. But there is light and people. A life. People shun each other with false politeness, yielding to each other with fear of getting infected, do not look each other in the eyes as if they are afraid that their rotten inner world will become visible.

PREMIERE #1261 | Puma & The Dolphin - Supermarket [Invisible, Inc.] 2020

There was a buzz in the chamber, the sound of electronics rumbled and reverberated in the tunnel beneath the great city of old. This was where the wheels went round, keeping the whole thing in motion. A city travelling underground accompanied by the sweet hum of chaos and fuzz. Some glanced at telephones, others read newspapers - they were all blissfully unaware of the complex engineering and the intricacies of the machine upon which they travelled. Perhaps it was best that way. 

Club In Theory is a record label which is shaping up very promisingly indeed, we were pleased with their first but now the second release on the imprint is here we have high hopes for something special. This EP comes from Aheloy! and features some playful electronics and delicate programming.

THEORY 002

PREMIERE: Aheloy! - Y-Shape [Club In Theory]

[ARTIST TEXT]

Kito Jempere is back with an album full of international minds. Working with array of collaborators across a cast of friends including Jimi Tenor, Wolfram, Hard Ton, Lipelis, Rich Thair (Red Snapper), Ruf Dug, Cedric Gasaida (Azari & III) and many more, presenting this, his third long play, which coming out as 2xLP via Emotional Response and digital download via Kito Jempere Recordings
A hail of freedom of thoughts and voices before these changed times, recorded and shared across continents. Kito – following releases with DFA, Lo Recordings, Bordello A Parigi, Hell Yeah and Duca Bianco – acts as curator rather than conductor, the idea not to transform the contributions but allow them absolute.
Sending music and receiving back, nothing was touched to keep the truth and
honour. From Tokyo to London, Berlin to his base in St Petersburg, trusting the chosen artists led to a broad palette, as his 4/4 driven funk expands with Jazz horns to Motorik percussion, Avant-Reich vocals to White Isle melodies, J Pop Balearics to Chanson stories wrapped around Club memories.
A true world meeting, crossing borders and genres. An eye on the dance floor and week long chill outs. With remixes from the likes of Samo DJ, Lipelis, Cable Toy and more to follow, this is more than Yet Another Kito Jempere Album.

Released 27th November
