Following multiple appearances on local Naarm label digital compilations, RBI lands on Butter Sessions with a full lengths worth of downtempo, ambient and full throttle, braindance-inspired dnb/jungle cuts. Whilst 'Proximity' and 'Return to Nature' presented RBI as one amongst many contemporary vanguards of the Australian electronic underground, her production style is allowed to shine in full effect on debut album Disseminate.

There is an undeniable influence of early breakbeat, 90s IDM and UK sound system pressure at play, though RBI's sound design is knowingly modern. Rarely dropping the tempo below 140 aside from brief, beatless interludes ('100o10o1hz' / 'Gossip'), the result is a fine balance of unrelenting rave music and thoughtful, introspective glitch. Penultimate jam 'Subterranean Dub' seems like a nod to the living-room techno of the Artificial Intelligence series, occasional soft breaks mixing with murky, aquatic ambience, whilst things close with an eerie avant-garde electroacoustic piece. 'Arrivée Les Nuages' strikes as a participation in the current re-evaluation of psytrance, though follows on from 'Vault Ultra' which clearly references the atmospheric breakdowns of golden era dubstep.
All in all, an impressive collection of dance productions which combines elements from scenes of the past 40 years.

NB: The tracks on Disseminate sit within a wider audio-visual context where they soundtrack various Naarm cityscapes rebuilt as immersive digital worlds: "I was lucky enough to collaborate with an incredibly talented friend and training architect Dom who came up with the idea of videos exploring digital spaces and worlds extracted from real locations. To create the work she filmed a number of locations near where we live, a warehouse party location, artist spaces, liminal spaces, objects..."

CRUDE Premiere: DJ Panthr - Source Drift (Roaming Data Remix) [Sound Transitions]

Breaks, bass, dub, techno, rave, acid, electro and Eurodance; 'Transnaturel' transcends genre. The first-ever compilation on Nehza Records is a mixed pot of sounds, and together they collide to highlight the beauty of nature and where we, as humans, stand with our environment in 2022.

Welsh producer Aloka injects a dose of gritty breakbeat on 'Digeridoo' and cites the cultural practices of native tribes as the source of his inspiration. The track is a take on people in power quashing native communities and, as a result, dissolving the connection between human beings.

We are back yet again with the second installment of our track series NEIGHBOURHOOD WATCH bringing you 5 tracks from producers situated across the globe!

Firstly, we have an artist from New Zealand who invites you to sample his old school Detroit electro-based productions and that is Mokotron who says kia ora on his behalf. He comes in hot with his track "Reach Into The Darkness". This track is fast and bass-driven with seamless vocal improvisation adding to the tension of the track.

Next we have PTMS who we personally feel is one of electro's most exciting up-and-coming prospects. PTMS is a Helsinki-based artist making a name for himself with his heavy-hitting metallic sound. He has contributed to the compilation with his acidic track "Untitled".

Wemory is Frankfurt-based DJ & Producer who has a great taste in all music showcasing a lot of variation & styles in the mixes we've heard from him. He comes in with a beauty of a track titled "Hmmidnite Downride". We think this tune will go down a treat as its fresh and bouncy vibes really resonate with a lot of listeners.

Tom Place is up next, who has recently released an action-packed EP with our good friends over at Childsplay. His bass-driven dubstep influence and his futuristic electro style has all been merged into one track "Concrete Dub". This stinker of a tune is definitely not to be missed!

Last but not least is one of the scenes’ best kept secrets who we are sure is going to develop into a major player, Will Ortiz. We have high expectations for him due to his impeccable taste which is evident in his lovely synth-driven Detroit styled electro and ghettotech. He closes the show with his track “Chi Town”.

Mysterious supergroup Protect Ryan (@protectryan) make their HOMAGE debut with the 'Self-proclaimed Critically Acclaimed' EP, featuring four original rave bangers paired with remixes from five of the scene's most trusted underground producers. 

Protect Ryan unites three friends (all veteran producers) that first came together through their shared love of '90s rave culture. Their debut EP arrived on DJ Die's GutterFunk label and introduced the world to their distinct ethos, producing club-ready cuts that inject the dancefloor with big energy. Now they expand on their story with the purest form of their dynamic sound, the 'Self-proclaimed Critically Acclaimed' EP on HOMAGE. 

Leading off with 'Bro Magnum', Protect Ryan launch into an all-out assault of banging breakbeats and growling bass before a squelching acid line takes over. Then comes 'Liam Features', a track also forthcoming on TSHA's fabric presents compilation, which follows with more rouged rhythms paired with playful stabs transporting listeners back to the golden age of rave. Next is 'Senhor Whep' and its nostalgic drum breaks that lay the foundation for an absolutely naughty acid line building into peak time euphoria. Finally, rounding out the Protect Ryan originals is 'Unfinished BTEC' delivering the trio's most refined sound, with tight percussion and chopped vocals stacked on top of a smooth, deep, and emotive bass line. 

While the originals are enough to satisfy anyone's thirst for rave-ready anthems, the release is complete with a staggering collection of remixes. Building on the energy that was already laid out, Apparition (@apparition-noise) speeds up the bpm with their version of 'Bro Magnum' for a hyper bass banger. Then Club Glow's own Denham Audio (@denhamaudio) takes on 'Liam Features' with his signature breakbeat NRG before Boulderhead (@boulderheaduk) flips the same track into a bumping house cut highlighting the original's infectious bassline. Finishing off the release are two remixes of 'Unfinished BTEC', first by HOMAGE label co-founder Ryan Clover (@ryanclover) who's hard-hitting version highlights the deep squelchy bass and chopped percussion while Davis Galvin (@davisgalvin) delivers a sublime and ethereal downtempo chugger.

https://soundcloud.com/priori-ties Priori's latest single, "Pareidolia," is out today on all digital platforms. It serves as a preview of his upcoming EP by the same name on Midgar in mid-April, coinciding with the label's 9th anniversary. The title is inspired by the phenomenon of recognizing familiar patterns in random objects, which Priori artfully incorporates into his sound design. Imagine anthropomorphic water droplets ascending to a higher plane of existence.
