Kate's debut EP 'Sprint' celebrates and cements a genre-fluid ethos with four tracks where texture and atmosphere take precedence over convention.

The EP’s opener ‘Harpan’ is a bold ambient statement, brimming with otherworldly, bell-like piano riffs, humming pads, long, gliding sweeps and sparse percussion. Written in the stillness of winter, ‘Harpan’ captures the quiet beauty of solitude and anonymity amid movement. The title track ‘Sprint’ shifts gears. A synth-surge launches the track before a slow release into breakdowns, trading the opener’s introspection for unbridled motion. ‘Hoover’ deepens the momentum with lurching rhythms, a drunken bassline, and tangled, footwork-inspired snares. Finally, ‘The Embrace’ delivers the most club-focused moment, rattling congas and panning djembes ride a punchy kick, giving way to a dramatic, techno-infused finale.

Intentional in its construction and unbound by genre, Sprint marks a powerful new chapter for Kate Miller.

For deep creep’s NYC-focused curation of the Rhythmic Culture mix series, Plebeian delivers a high-intensity blend of club sounds and experimental rhythms that reflect the pulse of the city’s sounds.

deep creep: "Plebeian was introduced to me by my good friend Dan aka Alien D when we were throwing a party called False Peak (RIP). Since then I have been hyper focused on whatever release he is putting out into the ether. One of my favorite releases was his Contrast EP on Grid Records. An innovative and immersive sonic experience, driven by the most satisfying sub-bass I've ever heard in a hot minute."

Eora’s dub-techno tastemaker Command D and Naarm’s harmoniser of the emotive and abstract Zara combine for Gravity Reset, a collaborative four-tracker on Butter Sessions.

Both producers are equally nestled with love into Australia’s underground, with releases on beloved labels like Animalia and Pure Space. Command D also boasts refined live sets heaving in sub-bass, while Zara's celebrated for boundary-blurring productions and her Kinesis imprint championing the local scene. On Gravity Reset, they meet in lockstep, delivering trance-inducing offerings rooted in a shared love of rhythm, space and subtlety seeded with dub minimalism and introspective, tech-driven sound design.The titular track 'Gravity Reset' sets the tone with a deep, persistent kick, reverberated snares, and a low-end that twists and lifts. 'Cascadia' introduces pad warmth and light percussion, where laughter weaves into the mix, adding a human touch to the dub-soaked cut. '2Pulse' brings expressive congas and dubby psychedelia into dialogue with the wubs, before The Fog closes in a haze of phasing hats and musky bass.

A collaboration for the ages. What they mean when they say #deep.

Command D & Zara - Gravity Reset (BSD08)

The single “Inertia” is the first glimpse into Signals from the Stars — Vietnamese Paris-based artist https://soundcloud.com/d-k-music’s upcoming EP, due mid-July on Midgar.

There’s something oddly comforting in the idea of a dead star still sending signals — distant, mechanical, yet somehow filled with meaning. Inertia taps into that contradiction: the sensation of being impossibly far from home, yet still drawn toward something vast, unseen, and filled with memory.

Signals from the Stars is now available for digital and vinyl preorder via Bandcamp.

beams vol. 1 brings together extended friends and family for the label's first compilation release. it explores the full spectrum of beam-adjacent sounds, combining swampy mnml and tek haus; zenonesque refractions; fast-slow warpers; and contemporary progtranse iterations. more than anything, these are artists we have connected with as humans, whether in london, on travels further afield, or through digital mediations.

For the newest instalment, i'm really happy to welcome the incredible Brussels-based AliA (@aliamusicc). The local mainstay is a regular on Kiosk radio and runs her own label - @artisjokrecords. Alyah, better known as AliA,  has an exciting & unique approach to dj'ing. She is known for her blend of contemporary club music with jazz, classical and experimental sounds. 

I find AliA's musical outputs incredibly refreshing - the kind of artist who reminds you what a really good DJ can do - they can present genres & sounds to you that you'd otherwise maybe not typically explore, in a new and exciting way. For her Animix, Alyah has gone for an intensely chill blend of ambient & immersive music, with minimal, glitchy, dub techno, jazz, classical sounds and more.

Thank you so much for the mix Alyah <3

Animalia's natural evolution into new regions & sounds comes with the introduction of @sub-basics to the label. For the first iteration in a new series of releases by the London based artist, Sub Basics brings his signature blend of minimal UK bass, with prismatic percussion loops & spaced out, psychedelic grooves, meeting a tech-house adjacent score that underpins the release.

Immersive yet functional, the release is versatile by nature, timely and fitting for both the autumnal shift in the northern hemisphere, and the welcoming of spring in Australia.

Animalia would like to acknowledge that whilst all tracks were produced in the UK, the label itself operates on the traditional land of the Woiwurrung & Wurundjeri peoples of the Kulin Nation, and pay respect to their elders past, and present. Sovereignty was never ceded.

Paulus (DE)s first release on Loading Systems Records in 2025 is a high-impact modern hard dance anthem thats built to stick. The track charges forward with driving energy, combining a pounding rhythm with a catchy lead melody that locks into your mind from the first play.

Paulus (DE) - The Future is Ours! (Extended Mix)

"Flying monkeys" (qv) is a term originating from The Wizard of Oz that describes people who act as enablers, messengers, tools, or agents for a narcissist or abusive person. These individuals carry out the abuser's wishes, which often involve spreading lies and half truths, gossiping, manipulating, or gaslighting the victim to maintain control and uphold the abuser's false reality. 

Flying monkeys can be friends, family, or associates who, consciously or unconsciously, enable the abuser's behavior and harm their target whilst shifting the focus away from their chameleon selves. With ever changing and often contradictory untruths the abuser will make out that the target is the villain in an ongoing soap opera that will make those involved believe they are justified in the target's persecution, whilst avoiding a direct confrontation themselves. 

But - wear it as a badge of honour if you are targeted - when those so cowardly have to raise an army to bring you down, who holds the real power? What are they so desperately trying to hide?

Ironically, the flying monkey oftentimes knows the truth already, but has an unconscious grievance of their own with the target or is fearful of becoming a target themselves. Alternatively, upon finding out the truth, that they have been mislead and used, will double down, resenting the truth and its teller in order to avoid feeling foolish. It is easier to fool someone, than to persuade them that they have been fooled after all...

No one can hurt another without leaving scars on their own soul. Truth never disappears, it just hides in silence.... but what is buried only sleeps.
