Cavalier - Different Type Time

let go [fazobeats]

Best of the Best

Long term friends and kindred spirits Max Sinàl & To The Rock join forces to bring you 'Ravage Music' for the London based imprint's 22nd release. Max is starting the year as he left off in 2023 which saw him launch the Max Sinàl moniker, alongside Soul Quest Records - a label he co-founded. In just a few months he earned the title of one of DJ Mag's Best Emerging Artists and gained support from the likes of Gilles Peterson, Laurent Garnier, Kai Alce, Aroop Roy and many more. His release 'Let You In' also went on to be included in Bandcamp's best releases of 2023.

To The Rock is also hot off the back of its hugely popular winter release 'Angels' by House Gospel Choir feat MORGAN, which saw plenty of love topping the Traxsouce charts at the back end of last year and was supported by the who's who of the soulful DJ community and music industry.

Their latest offering from Max Sinàl demonstrates the labels diversity as they move into the raw & stripped back territory with this deep swinging, jazzy house jam with slick vocal sampling and that all essential UK grit which gives a nod to Max's pirate station garage roots. If that's not enough the release comes with a sped up, stripped back dub which provides that extra dark kick to the release.

Landing exclusively on Traxsource and Spotify from 8 Feb. All other platforms 22 Feb.

Produced by Max Abrahams.

Additional Keys on Original Mix by Piers Aggett.

Astro returns with a high-octane collection of tracks, peaking at the dizzy heights of 138 BPM, engineered for late night club moments and steeped in early 00s/90s influences.  We were fortunate to have Cape Town's own Biodive for a remix, bringing a driving yet minimal sound, effortlessly captivating listeners.

A1, Subatomic, seizes the spotlight with its relentless, driving energy. It immerses us in a 2001 trance soundscape, featuring sharp synth lines and dynamic vocal chops, while echoing, panned stabs enhance the track's deep, otherworldly ambiance.

River Torque, panning UFO pads from a different dimension, shifting gears with precision. A tunnelling groove locks in, firing us straight into peak-time. Direct, relentless, and built for the highest intensity—this one drives everything forward. No escape, just pure momentum.

A3 sees Astro reconnect with his dub-techno origins, pulling in the deep, atmospheric vibes of his early work. Basic Channel-inspired textures are unmistakable, but here they surge. Reverb-soaked layers cascade over a pumping 909, while razor-sharp hats slice through the fog, propelling the track into a hypnotic, futuristic drive.

Wormhole is your go-to for testing low-end limits—bass-heavy, deep, and undeniable. This might be the most floor-shaking, post-pumping Astro track yet. The rich, undying textures crafted from the Blofeld Waldorf deliver sweeping alien FX, creating a soundscape that feels both immersive and extraterrestrial.

Biodive is one of those rare artists who can take a track to another level, almost transcending into another dimension. This remix embodies a minimal yet fierce Detroit sound—stripped down but powerful, hitting with precision and intensity. It’s the perfect choice to close out the EP, leaving a lasting impression with its raw energy and driving beat.
