The ever-prolific and established artist Alan Abrahams aka Portable makes a swift and very welcome return to Circus Company with the impressive lead single “Guiding Me”, giving us an early taste of his forthcoming album Augmented Dreams to be released in the fall.

Conceptually the direction of this new project refers to the use of technology to alter our dreams, inadvertently or not, as so much tech advancement becomes available and ingrained in our daily lives. The timely lead single here inspired by Abraham’s South African ancestors the Khoi San people and the guidance they provide, appropriately exuding both futurist formed sonics and dream-like tenderness in content, led by his dulcet-toned vocals and delivered with the super solid production we’ve come to expect. Wonderful multi-purpose electronic music which will find itself right at home on late-night discerning dance floors, or indeed guiding the listener through their respective travels, solo meditations or get-downs in headphones.

Along with the excellent “Guiding Me” original mix, we are graced with a masterful remix by Hamburg’s Lawrence of Smallville and Dial fame, who takes the track into an even more floor-focussed realm with his patented rolling sub-bass lines which will guarantee plenty of summertime sound system finessing, as well as the EP-exclusive B2 track “Vigor” in which Portable goes even deeper in tone with classic styled vocal cut-ups and repurposed shards of tasty sound design added to keep the dancers endlessly entranced when and wherever they may be.

Both equalling ten tracks each, the latter titled, Augmented Dreams explores the various, corners of sparse and minimal, electronic music.

Bristol's best young house duo flex their muscle.

There's nothing spectacular about the Outboxx story: it's simply two great, young producers (Jacob 'Hodge' Martin and Matt Lambert) releasing a steady stream of excellent singles, and in 2013, an excellent debut album. It is a timely tale, however: the duo seemed to emerge in tandem with Bristol's shift from a city focused on dread and sub-bass to house and techno, with Chris Farrell's Idle Hands taking over from Peverelist's Rooted Records as its key record shop.

Of course, things are never quite that black and white, but Outboxx's embrace of the lighter side of house (although their music is never fluffy, it does relish dreamy atmospherics, nimble grooves and the odd hands-in-the-air moment) does seem to match up perfectly with Idle Hands' arrival on the scene, and it's no coincidence that the store's in-house label has released several of Outboxx's 12"s, as well as their debut album. They're happy to spread the love, though, and Outboxx productions have recently been housed on Futureboogie, Local Talk and, most, recently BRSTL, with a new single out this week.

Outboxx's FACT mix slips by like a dream, packed with piano leads, wompy basslines and rushes of 909 hats. Sure, it's nothing that hasn't been done before, but few are currently doing it better. Dilla, Genius of Time, Leon Vynehall and more feature.

High Dreams

The Mole - Losing Track

Preorder now on Juno: https://bit.ly/3XVylmP

The Mole's latest offering, 'High Dreams', is a no-nonsense collection of four tracks that dives straight into the depths of jacking house rhythms and eerie sonic landscapes. With three originals and a remix by Circus Company staple Dave Aju, the EP embraces both the physical and the abstract, delivering groove-laden basslines alongside spectral, almost otherworldly textures. 'Losing Track' sets the tone with its hypnotic pulse, while 'Climbers Pit' brings in Joli B and Danuel Tate for a rich fusion of keys, vibes, and Emaxx layering. The remix of 'Losing Track' by Dave Aju strips back the original and builds it up with fresh percussion, adding a modern twist that feels grounded yet forward-thinking. 'Youandthekitten' rounds things out with a playful but deep tech-house groove, keeping the energy consistent. Known for his discography with labels like Perlon, Kompakt, and Ostgut Ton, The Mole has cemented his place in the underground scene. This EP reminds listeners that he's still crafting imaginative dancefloor gems, while Aju's remix keeps things unpredictable. High Dreams is an understated yet bold continuation of The Mole's journey through both the cerebral and visceral spaces of electronic music.

PREORDER

PREMIERE: The Mole - Youandthekitten (Circus Company France)

For those in the know, The Mole is perhaps one of the most influential underground House music producers of all time. They don’t call him The Mole for nothing, he digs deep and encapsulates the true spirit of the genre and there’s few producers who’s catalogue has been as widely sought after and respected as his. Anyone who’s anyone who plays House music likely has more than a few of his records locked and loaded in the crates or on a stick.

For many years he has released music on the likes of Perlon, Ostgut Ton, Sound Of Vast, Kompakt, Internasjonal and more. More recently he has formed an affiliation and connection with Circus Company on which he has released both EP’s and albums.

Speaking of which he has a new record out, a deconstructed beat tape of sorts based upon influences from Hip Hop and cassettes alongside his deep rooted love of House music.

This mix follows soon after and to be honest, it’s one we’ve been excited about receiving for some time. The Mole is a bit of a legend round these parts.
