Hassan Abou Alam is one of Egypt’s musical exports, steadily publishing his work since 2008 and he’s here to take over Tapes #90.

He has been featured on diverse labels across the globe such as Banoffee Pies, Rhythm Section, naive, Casa Voyager, and many more! For the past 15 years, Hassan has been playing around with his gear, forging multiple live performances. A hard to pin down sound that utilizes analog and digital instruments, a form of organized chaos that he portrays with extreme finesse—his Boiler Room set is a testament to his genre-bending capabilities. Through Red Bull’s RBMA Abou Alam was given a chance to mingle musically with the ancient people of Luxor. The result? A phenomenal live performance in Cairo fusing traditional folklore with electronica, successfully pinning him as one of Egypt’s most versatile musicians.

We are incredibly excited and grateful to present 'NOCTURNO' - the first proper LP release by Chilean producer, Masot. The 10 tracks effortlessly traverse multiple genres throughout the album arc, showcasing a highly detailed and carefully designed sound palette - one which remains remarkably intact throughout the whole journey.

Moments of Nocturno feel melancholy and pensive, but never void of the hypnotic and percussive 2-step rhythms that feel like a darker take on the historically upbeat sound of UK 2-step and Garage.

Each song is meticulous, but not over-indulgent. The intricacy, melodic elements and club utility allow the LP to be as functional for the club as it is for at home listening.

Amity & Friends with Mulholland & Honeydrip - 31 May 2024

Pleating (Hemmed Mix) moves It's a Wrap into a darker mood, with subsonic-frequency kick drums and washes of alien sound design building a tense atmosphere. A subdued arpeggio bubbles underneath the surface as the track propels through murky territory.

It’s a Wrap is available across all digital platforms from July 5th.

Kelp Roots, the latest label concept from Seattle’s tondiue, broadcasts a new wave of aqueous, afrofuturistic dub transmissions from the Puget Sound region of the Pacific Northwest.

The platform’s initial departure, “Word to the Centipede”, finds tondiue emerging from a season of electroacoustic drone and nu-kosmische live performance, while guiding this energetic, freeform sonic practice into a 5 track journey of in-the-club and on-the-couch headtrips.

On the release’s leading single, Chickadee, tondiue peers through a veil of mist at one of the city’s many scenic outlooks; searching for and finding the ethereal, tectonic pulse of psychedelic dub history, and channeling this essence into a slab of organic, coastal soundsystem pressure.

Word to the Centipede releases August 16th on Kelp Roots

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.
