Next up on X-Kalay it’s fresh heat from one of the finest among a current generation of prog-inclined producers. Guy Contact’s ‘Out of My Head (Into My Body)’ speaks to a sublime, utopian conception of dancefloor utility; dance music primed to achieve ascension through collective physical experience.

Navigating mystic, offbeat zones, Contact sets out his stall from the start. ‘Out of My Head (Into My Body)’ is as pristine as it is expansive, inducing trance states as trippy flourishes oscillate over driving rhythm in impeccable lysergic style. Then, with another dose of melt-on-the-mind groove, a radiant bliss-out arrives in the beautifully buoyant flex of ‘Sacred Mist’.

Taking its name from a part of the brain associated with emotional processes, ‘Amygdala Tongue Wobble’ propels into fractal introspection with dense, insistent pulse. Finally, ‘Optimystic’ finds Contact channelling new age spirits as he assumes the role of innerzone healer - wide-eyed downtempo to close things out.

PREMIERE: Donalds House - Jam 3 [A Lifetime On The Hips]

A chorus of chatter resounded through the streets, excitement filled the air from the front of the queues to the very back. The energy was palpable on this balmy and warm night, it was the beginning of a season of dancing into the early hours - summer had finally arrived after a rocky start to the year. From dusk till dawn all of these magical spaces would be brimming with bodies dancing in unison beneath stars; all worries and cares would be left at the door, for now anything outside of these four walls was of no concern to them... 

REES' bold and euphoric blend of Italo, house, Balearic and trance has formed releases for the likes of Bordello A Parigi, Permanent Vacation and CWPT. The Middlesborough-based producer is now taking matters into his own hands for his next EP, a self-released two-tracker that throws all those aforementioned influences into the mix. Energia by name, energy by nature: it's full of soaring synths, bright pads and pumping rhythms to get the body moving.

PREMIERE: REES - Energia (Original Mix)

Haŵs is 20 deep. Drawn from the depths of the infinite mind, Laars and Cosmic G’s creation is the sum of all its parts. The Belgradian based artists deliver a storming 12" 4 tracker with just enough magic to make you dissipate altogether into the cosmic milieu of prog.

Premiere: Laars & Cosmic G - Irregular Minds [Haŵs]

The lights flooded the room lighting up the sea of gleeful faces from the front to the back. The party had been going all day and all night, and the energy had never let up, even for a moment. Bodies swarmed the dance floor, moving in unison to the pulsing beats seeping out of the speakers in each corner. Time seemed to stand still inside here, there was nothing but them and the music, the outside world no longer mattered...

Following his debut outing on Jennifer Cardini’s Correspondent, Adonis family member Nyra returns to Canoe Records for the label's first EP in two years. Made up of two tracks, the release draws inspiration from the Sheffield-born producer's formative clubbing experiences in his home city and a love of the early Belgian rave sound. Self-described as “intergaleatic future sounds”, it's full of euphoria with ravey synths, energetic rhythms and soaring piano melodies that transport you back to the heydays of the 90s.

Superb work  as always here from Lithuania's @pletnev, with a choice cut from his new @burninmusic EP 'When The Job Is Done'. Atmospheric synth swoops play out a melancholic riff while juicy acid rises from the depths, all pummeling along at a pacey clip. Great attention to detail throughout.

PREMIERE: Pletnev - Wandering Mind, Go F Yourself [Burnin Music]

An EP of limbo-inducing squelch courtesy of our good friends Latrec aka Andy Bainbridge and Serious Hots, ft. techno flavoured remixes from Bristolian pal Remotif & our very own Matt Cowell & Quinn Whalley as The W.C. Enjoy.

In the furthest reaches of the cosmos, the intergalactic community gathers for the annual Kutika Limbo finals. Reigning champion Latrec draws the first straw and the percussion rolls excitedly as he steps up to the pole.

Kutika glides lithely under the bar, tentacles wobbling to the acid rhythm. He celebrates his victory as the crowd chants in a glitchy alien dialect. “Kutika-tika-tika-tika!”

Second in line, Latrec’s younger brother Dub Mix steps up for his first limbo. Shorter and stockier than his brother, we don’t know what to expect from this one. Once again the percussion rolls, the crowd gasps as his squidgy exoskeleton melts before their eyes, reforming on the other side of the bar - ‘blooooop’. The crowd goes wild “Kut-Kut!”

Next up is The W.C. Events take a strange turn as they forgo the competition, instead they walk to the stage to sweep the band aside, hijacking control of the instruments. Heavy percussive hits twist spacetime with material melting bass throbs. The crowd goes wild as the fabric of reality collapses around them.

Last but by no means least is Remotif, a techno unit resembling a giant cluster of biceps stands staring at the limbo pole, chaos erupting around him. The tempo of the percussion rises in anticipation and acid thunder roars in the background. Remotif picks up the bar, blinks, and hurls it off into the furthest reaches of the galaxy never to be seen again.

PREMIERE: Latrec - Kutika (Remotif Remix)

V/A - Tastemakers

Label: twominds Records

Twominds Records third venture comes in the form of their first various artists compilation; Tastemakers. The four-track release features artists from across Australasia, Jesper Tjarnfors, Ritmiq, Corners and Pang.

Jesper Tjarnfors Blue Ambo is the fast paced A1 track of the release. It features glitchy vocal effects, light hats and a rolling acid baseline. Huge dubbed out stabs elevate the track from the mid way point.

Ritmiq’s uaintnorealhustler slides in as the A2. A heavy sub bass pushes the track through lush chords and a subtle acid line. A hip hop influenced vocal sample is drizzled throughout the track accompanied by swinging percussion.

Label head Corners takes the B1 with Halcyon. The track is heavily influenced by early 2000’s tech house - think a simple baseline, repetitive stabs and chopped up vocals. The second half of the track sees a variety of synth lines feature to keep the dance floor guessing.

Pang completes the equation with Who you? This minimal styled track doesn’t overdo it, maintaining a laid back feel based around light and playful percussion. A neat, bouncy baseline and swirling pads expertly combine, and a classic vocal sample is the final cherry on top of an otherwise sturdy groove.

Second RAND Muzik x Echocentric collaboration. Four mesmerizing club tools for total floor control by the mighty Belgian beat smith DC Salas. Highly flammable, handle with care.

Formats: 12" vinyl and digital
Release date: June 16, 2023
Single "Light in the Distance (radio edit): June 2nd, 2023.

“With this EP, I wanted to open a new chapter in my musical research. I wanted to test new textures, extend my vision of club music to different territories in order to avoid any redundancy in my productions, and to evolve what I’m doing as a DJ. This EP is highly influenced by my Fuse Bruessels residency and the evolution of my profile which gave (and is still giving) me the opportunity to play music in bigger rooms and in more higher profile slots.” – DC Salas
