cytokinesis
/ˌsʌɪtə(ʊ)kʌɪˈniːsɪs/
 
noun:
the cytoplasmic division of a cell at the end of mitosis or meiosis, bringing about the separation into two daughter cells.
 
The Space Between Us is proud to present the latest breakthrough in cell division, a most exciting advancement in the field of molecular biology. Meet - the Cytokinesis EP by Axon Growth Factor @axongrowthfactor. Cell division is a natural occurrence, yet the creation of this release was an undertaking that will leave even the smartest brains in a state of perplexity. Often mistaken for binary fission, the process of the production of these tracks was a sensitive exercise in the fibre of dance… executed with precision.
 
What began as experimentation via hardware-driven analogue jams, elements have been chopped, fine-tuned and formulated specifically for use on the dance floor. Meticulously designed to stimulate your central nervous system, the Cytokinesis EP signals the start of a new cellular generation through an all-new sonic experience.
 
Opener, Batch C is a balearic blend of trance, trippy minimal percussion and breaks. Primal drones and gated leads offset the rigidly sequenced percussion. All elements are pulled into line with a sneaky breakbeat switch-up, echoed by a euphoric pad which carries the listener through a barrage of deep four-to-the-floor tribal grooves.  
 
Cytokinesis teases a hazy yet uplifting prog-electro workout. Dub infused SFX and drones remain constant throughout, whilst playful melodic motifs and sparkling lead sequences sweep effortlessly over a foundation of wobbly yet focussed sub bass and stimulating electro rhythms. 
 
Oxidative stress meticulously combines dizzying percussion, screaming bass-lines and metallic synth riffs into a high-octane, bass-focused electro melter specifically designed for the club. Sluggish breaks carefully weave in and out of focus, momentarily aligning to the mobilising electro rhythms and undulating subs that lay beneath.
 
Mooro/Perth-based Guy Contact / @guycontact facilitates a mutation of the EP opener, Batch C. With a wonky acid bassline and a pulsating rhythm, it’s primed for a hazy late-night warehouse soundsystem. 
 
Naarm/Melbourne-based Escape Artist / @escapeartistaus offers a contrasting reinterpretation of the title track, Cytokinesis. A club-focussed, no frills, euphoric blue-sky trance stomper, the listener is left in a perfect state of bliss and wonderment.

Reflex Blue - Twin Waters EP (Clips)

Digital & 12" > https://onrotationmusic.com/

On May 20th On Rotation returns for their first VA release - Genetic Memories Vol. 1. 🧠

Anderson opens the release with the mystical  ‘Polymorphic Magic’ - a low-slung builder combining deep synths with sampled instrumentation. 

“I’m a huge fan of self resonating / overtone instruments so using the Fujara was a no brainer. A naturally psychedelic sounding instrument, I wanted to accompany the flutey pipe with a deeper and low-mid tempo chug.” - Anderson

Next up is Musty Head Records main man Jamie Leather - combining the tight drums and skilful melodic work of his previous releases with all the influences we love, ‘Discovery’ is sure to get any party going.

Leading the B-Side of the record is Ed Hodge's ‘Atreides’ - a tough yet playful banger drawing influences from across the spectrum of UK music. Gun fingers guaranteed! 

“It’s probably the fastest, rowdiest track I’ve made under the Ed Hodge moniker and pulls influences from house, trance and speed garage.” - Ed

Closing the release, we speed things up and travel deep into the past with Phazma's ‘Arrakeen’. Featuring ethereal synths, driving rhythms and beefy low end, this floaty number works just as well at home as in the club - a perfect way to round off the EP! 

“After some help from my musical peers and some heavy inspiration from the release of the new Dune movie, I managed to come up with something that I’m pretty stoked with!.” - Phazma

On Rotation is a Leeds based event & mix series turned label with their debut release (Adam Pits' album 'A Recurring Nature') being one of last year’s highlights and a frequent sight on end of year lists. This was followed by ‘Slingshot’, an intergalactic voyage from Solar Suite with Roza Terenzi on the remix.

VA - Genetic Memories Vol. 1 [ONRO03] - CLIPS

ORDER: https://dualitytrax.bandcamp.com/album/plastic-replicant-ep

Re-imagining vintage club sounds through a contemporary lens, Tifra is no stranger to stretching the electronic music template into new forms and ideas. His left-field house and old-school breaks have found their way onto Gestalt Records and Rough Recordings, and here the producer turns in three cuts of blissed-out electronica, hedonistic progressive and jungle-run club with its sights firmly fixated front left, complete with a wicked remix from one of modern dance music's most reliable names - Roza Terenzi.

‘Plastic Replicant’ is a vocal-laced electro-house roller that takes inspiration from the golden-era of 90s electronic music and fuses it with the organic, multi-genre blends of the current gen. The ravey continuum is laced with high-frequency vocal stabs and deep basslines designed for a heads-down approach on the dancefloor, before ‘Entomology’ captures the playful side of the club with its shape-shifting acid-lines, trance-licked melodies and kaleidoscopic blend of colour, feeling and mood.

Out of the club and onto the beach, ‘International Waters’ is a trip-hop inspired, downtempo dub that will delight ambient and laid-back electronic-revelers with its chirpsing birds and aqua-like aesthetic, before Roza keeps the dualism alive with a stripped-back jungle flip of the original; the perfect score for the perfect daydream.

For the 17th release on our label, Naarm-based DJ/producer Solar Suite (@solarsuite) explores the playful liminality of dusk and dawn, taking locked grooves and prog sounds as the tools to transform the strange into something exhilarating. 

‘Clear Skies’ comprises 3 high-nrg club-ready tracks and 2 slow chuggers to balance out the up-tempo rhythms, all with dedicated circumstances to be plucked out from record bags and presented to a willing crowd. The only question left: what occasions personal to the selector will they rear their heads?

Abdul Raeva - Protogen EP - ECR013

Esteemed proponent of outré dancefloor manoeuvres, Superconscious Records co-founder Fantastic Man makes his Kalahari debut proper.

Having shown up for rework duties on a couple of occasions, we find the mutable oddball at his most trippy and esoteric. In fact, OYSTER42 is the handiwork of a producer who has his formula of balmy, lysergic dance music down to an exact science.

‘Alltogethernow’ gets on a swaggering cosmic tip, all sub-loaded and celestial as levitational arpeggios and funked-up groove dovetail to mesmeric effect. ‘Alpha’, on the other hand, takes a vision quest through enchanted jungle terrain. Initiating with a hypnotic ritual chant, it’s tunnelling and murkily psychedelic; occulted dancefloor rapture tailor-made for the wormhole interior.

As if it were some artefact from a distant ‘90s utopia, Bioxy’ evokes a time when warehouse parties littered the Melbourne landscape. Where its predecessor evokes ceremony and ritual, this is an anachronistic, dilated flashback to simpler times. FM kicks it languid and life-affirming on the closing number. Radiant synth lines flutter with a gentle headiness as ‘Trojan Force’ takes us full circle with a reprise of the rainforest FX.

TFSTK011 : Babylon X - Truckupidööm

Truckupidööm is rolling on basalt stones with an hypnotic inertia of a sensual mileage.
The pleasures of trembling releases from her body plastic and more plastic, spring and another spring, metal and another metal.
She sheds the industry’s father from herself and turns to mother earth, to the sand hall, to the whistles of camels, to the reddish threshold where sunrises are a burning fire, and silence is an azure eternity.

Label heads Olsvangèr and MYKI entrusted with the 11th installment of Tofistock.
5 spooky desert rollers to resonate the grounded dragon.

‘This is a personal homage to several genres we wanted to unite.
something between oldskool house, mediterranean magic, progressive trance, and jazz; nostalgia through the dusty roads.
