Pocket Candy’s debut EP Dreamin’ unfolds in a dreamlike landscape, translating the surreal nature of imagined fantasies into sound. Shimmering, ethereal synth lines guide the listener through dub-infused dimensions, while gritty percussion keeps things grounded with textured, dancefloor-ready drumwork. Conceptually, Dreamin’ is a sonic interpretation of hyperphantasia—a condition marked by exceptionally vivid mental imagery. Across five tracks, Pocket Candy brings both lucid and non-lucid dreams to life, crafting a tangible world of sound. The EP features three lush, synth-driven tech house originals, each capturing a distinct figment of the imagination, alongside two remixes by Braver and A.Dixen.

As the debut release from Pocket Candy (aka HAKEEM), Dreamin’ reflects his evolution as a producer shaped by his experience as a DJ. The EP blends melodic and textural depth with functional groove, drawing influence from dub, ‘80s synth pop, ‘90s tech-house, and the contemporary sonic territory explored by labels like Ilian Tape and Wisdom Teeth, or artists such as Silverlining, L.B. Dub Corp, Dario Zenker, K-Lone, and HLLW.

The EP’s single “Rain Dance” is reimagined through two remixes by long-standing staples of the Copenhagen scene:

Braver’s remix delivers a tight, groove-driven rework. Lush key stabs, dubby atmospheres, and intricate percussion fuel a steady momentum, blurring the lines between tech house and dub techno with contemporary flair sure to get any dancefloor going.

A.Dixen’s version takes a more introspective approach, conjuring a submerged, dub-soaked world. Synths drift like currents around vocal stabs and a weightless, rolling bassline—coming together in a track that feels like it could loop forever.

After 2 outings on recent SHOUTS compilations, Asa Tate lands on Rhythm Section Intl proper with a timeless EP - “ Replica”.

Asa Tate, fka Tech Support has been on a bit of a tear recently and this record feels like a real step up: a statement of intention aimed directly at the peak time dance floor.

A student of the Weatherall school of DJing, Asa Tate has showcased an astonishingly mature approach to production over the years that belies his age. You’d be forgiven for thinking these 4 tracks had been discovered from a dusty DAT tape, locked away in the vaults of a northern Italian club and rediscovered after 30 years….Listen more closely and you’ll notice the contemporary production flair and more recent influences that make this EP a perfect reinterpretation of the mid 90s house sound: sitting somewhere between dream house and Morales finest work under the red zone moniker.

„Acid Reaction“ is the first in a series of new releases by Danilo Plessow (MCDE). After having recently spent a lot of studio time recording bands for his disco-focused label Space Grapes, this marks a return to electronic music. Releasing on Rush Hour in mid-November!

The title Rude Futures serves as a meta commentary on the realities of the modern digital age, the dawn of AI and its impact on art and society. Musically, it's a darker, more twisted turn to Danilo’s studio experiments - with a nod to early house and techno.

Acid Reaction (The Journey Mix)

FINNEST music presents Bring It Back' by Canelo from Peru. Two very elegant tracks, 'Bring It Back' and 'Feel Something', that will make you fly and dream on the dance floor. 

ENJOY!!
