Ekkel - Night Of The Ceremony [SHROOM08]

“I've collaborated with Polychrome for quite some time. I performed at their one-year anniversary at Sexyland and, along with Eversines, played at their ADE 2022 party. Additionally, I contributed to their recent "Reflection EP." Throughout this collaboration, we became friends. Hervé, one of the core members of the group, asked me numerous times to create an EP together. It wasn't until his wedding that I finally said yes (how fitting!).

The first track of the EP is "Laak," a tune I created the day after playing at the club in Den Haag. I thoroughly enjoyed DJing at this venue with its impressive sound system. It inspired me to work on the low reese-bass that forms the core foundation of the track. Hervé and I decided to dedicate the entire A-side to this tune, as we had discussed how nice it would be to have a 45-side on this EP.

The second side focuses more on the emotional aspects we appreciate. "Underwater (Dream Mix)" opens this side with an uptempo techno-ish foundation and trancy melodies, fitting the label's aesthetic perfectly. The track's name stems from my unintentional creation of very "underwater" sounding pads during the recording session (note to self: next time double-check if the mix is alright). The EP concludes with "Reassociate," a tune heavily inspired by the early 2000s IDM gems we adore.”

Elsa - On DND [LS002] | 28/08/2025 | LIGHTSPEED

LS002 drifting in from orbit with 5 fully immersive tracks from the very talented Basel-based producer, Elsa.

Warbling bass sounds meet ethereal pads and intricate percussion in these incredibly detailed soundscapes, set to send any club and listener into tripped out bliss. The stripped back nature of these tracks is a perfect example of why sometimes, less is clearly more.

Huge thank you to Elsa for trusting us with this release - we are so happy to be releasing these tracks into the world. Dive straight in and get lost in the other-wordly sounds she has to offer...

Pre-order now to receive the track 'Alpha L' before the release date on 28th February.

Elsa - On DND [LS002]

1. Braised
2. Communing
3. Broken Through
4. Braised (al dente remix)

After seven years since his last release, label CEO Mr Assister makes a long-overdue return to beam. Across four tracks, including a remix from close friend of the label, al dente, the EP explores the rhythmic and psychoactive spaces between techno, tek haus, and minimal psy. Opening the EP, ‘Braised’ juxtaposes two sensibilities, situating playful grooves amid droning, disaffected atmospheres. ‘Communing’ builds on the rolling templates of psychedelic trance, with swarms of glitched-out percussion and pads that reveal traces of melancholia. In ‘Broken Through’, four-four kicks dip their toes into streams of acid, reflecting textures of technological breakdown. Rounding off the EP, al dente reimagines ‘Braised’ via his signature brand of warping swamp-tek.

Written and produced by Mr Assister. 
Stem mastering (tracks 1-3) and mastering (track 4) by Pearson Sound.

Mr Assister – Communing [BEAM-07]

Step into the lush, verdant depths of Shjva's sonic jungle—an enchanted forest pulsing with ultra-absorbing dub techno, glitchy rhythms, and deep, hyper-textured grooves. We’ve been impressed by her incredible releases on People & Places and Warning, among others, and now, her latest EP on our label takes that boundary-pushing energy even further. The rising Ukrainian force is joined by Jeku, who flips the script with a mind-bending trip to Goa mix, catapulting the journey into a dreamlike, transportive realm.

Spectral Bounce’s fifth instalment comes courtesy of L.A.’s rave archivist and dancefloor operative Dreams, A.K.A. Jesse Pimenta. Throughout his decade-long career the California native has inspected, dissected and concocted all manner of dance musics, leaving his mark with drops on Apron Records, Pinkman, BANK NYC and his own imprint Dance Data. On SPEC05 — Dangerous When Wet — he hijacks the synapses with 4 accomplished productions, plotting a high BPM course through manifold styles using the raw aesthetic that characterises his output.

“Losing Control” is a frenetic dancefloor invitation, immediately locking into a pacing groove. Beneath wild hand drums, Dreams plays with an insistent 303 bassline alternating between rasping buzz and oily squelch, while stern vocals are layered on top of breaks that have been processed to a viscerally satisfying end.

Taking things from delirious dance circle to underwater biosphere, the EP’s eponymous track explores a submerged 1980s Miami. Weighty & enveloping, “Dangerous When Wet” is pure aquatic pop-n-lock — hydraulic electro for a drowned world. Ocean floor caustics are transmuted into auditory form: arpeggios bubble up; drones shimmer mystically; hi-hats hiss like air from an open valve. Amongst the sonar bleeps, a barrage of pummeling low-end is sure to give subwoofers a workout.

“XTC Messenger” delivers an infectious paranoid dispatch, astutely balancing the sensual with the deranged. A slow-mo dial tone unfolds languidly, running counter to nervously twitching high frequencies. Its punchy percussion is tuned for maximum dopamine release; the track’s abrupt vocal chops and mechanical kick-snare pulsation evoke the leather jackets and jagged edges of 1980s industrial discotheque.

“Pressure Points” closes the EP on a heady and mesmerising polymetric trip. The parting track is a lithe yet spacious number, propelled by a rattling break. Here Dreams follows from track 2, creating an immersive environment in which sounds tightly twist and twirl. Shifting oscillators call out like tiny creatures as the bass throbs and wriggles further into your brain, long after the needle hits the runout groove.
