tactual’s second release comes from Studio Natura, the German-born, now Vienna-based producer & DJ. alongside Copenhagen mainstay artists Thodén and A.dixen, the EP houses five tracks exploring the leftfield side of futuristic, bass-driven psychedelia. 

through two solo-tracks plus a collaborative track with Thodén, the original tracks showcase the merging together of Studio Natura’s love for uk/leftfield techno, with the trippier sounds of trance & psy that he was exposed to during his time living in Copenhagen. the EP comes with a remix from Copenhagen-based producer A.dixen, re-constructing Agents Against Agency with four-to-the-floor functionality, plus a remix by Thodén, whose ‘Immanence Mix’ provides a dense and emotive re-interpretation of the original. mastering of all tracks is provided by Copenhagen-based producer Ctrls.

tact002 will be available for digital download on the 6th September on all platforms.

Bait's 3rd VEP, Out of Step, looks into industrial, mechanical sounds, some of which almost don’t qualify as “dance” music anymore. ex.sses, lloydfears, Ōtone, VCR and gillielove take you on a march where you feel like you keep tripping up. The sound of glitchy, distorted things, being chopped up or smashed into pieces, this is what unites these 5 tracks in a various almost out of step with the rest of Bait’s releases.

Out Of Step VEP

Does This Resonate

Premiere: lloydfears - does this resonate | Bait

upsammy - Strange Meridians [topo2-001]

a centrifugal spin collapses inward
sucked into the ground
vibrating with the quake beneath the crust
the folding repeats itself in time
an echo amid the buildings of a primordial era

with closed eyes
the shapes begin to take form
in the debris
objects clump together into conglomerates

a scream
trapped in water-retaining cells
the moss that embeds itself after
a short passage of time
you talk back
but I can’t hear you

something springs forth
somewhere

a remnant that remains

Wood Words

co:clear is overjoyed to welcome Jonnnah to its fold, with a new long-form 12” edition. Featuring Pavel Milyakov (aka Buttechno) right off the bat, ‘Me, With You’ is an album that grips its listener tight with gleaming electronica, off-kilter trip-hop and swampy bass.

With past offerings to Soleil Rouge and Second End Records – a label which he heads – there's a thread that laces all of Jonnnah’s work. Although never sticking to a definable bracket, the Lyon-dweller effortlessly floats through various tempers, peddling impeccable electronics as equally suited to colossal sound systems, as they are to solitary early morning walks in headphones. It's ambient for the foreground that surprises with flurries of two-step and amen breaks – present-day sonics that doff their cap to what’s come before.

The second single taken from yingtuitive's highly anticipated debut album 'Letters To Self 寫情書' - the Singaporean experimental artist presents an intricate new glimpse into her sacred world with 'braided cords'.

Releasing via Will Hofbauer’s acclaimed imprint, Third Place on July 11th ahead of the full LP release on July 25th, 'braided chords' is an illustrious and delicately assembled electronic fragment of yingtuitive's expansive sound. An infinitely oscillating and glistening gem, accompanied by a beautifully crafted jungle reworking from Wisdom Teeth & Leaving Records artist Tristan Arp.
