Seventh Floor (Maara Remix)

Astral VIP (and more) are here to remedy the monotony! by rehashing what you’ve already heard? but alas, no one is perfect. Outliers and outcasts have always created pockets in the mould of the city, smoke and wubs away from the lights and hammer. This collection of 14 tracks comes from such a dent, representative of different scenes all dedicated to this approach, coming from dank corners, away from big business.

Our offering is a tribute to the mix CDs of dance before (Global Underground et al), with AVIP’s very own Dugong on the 1s and 2s blending contributions from analogous crew into one continuous mix. Future-past made present, for potentially discontinued CD drives. For the sake of tangibility, in times that surge ahead regardless.

All profits from this compilation are being donated to 3EZWA Legal Fund, to help financially assist those facing draconian legal fees as part of the current protest movement in solidarity with Palestine & Lebanon.

Roza Terenzi & Byron Yeates - Organ Döner (Scharfe Soße Mix)

Von Riu makes his Proxima debut with Gore-Tek, a high-voltage fusion of delirious, sexy, and proggy club sounds, engineered for full-throttle dancefloor pressure. The Parisian producer sharpens his signature sound into razor-edged, hypnotic grooves, injecting each track with an electrified, biomechanical pulse.

Somewhere between cybernetic warfare and splattered synths, Gore-Tek sounds like the aftermath of a rogue AI discovering club music—glitching, twisting, and rewiring its sonic DNA with surgical precision. Industrial-strength basslines meet liquid futurism, forging a dancefloor experience that’s as menacing as it is euphoric.

A true royal rebel without a cause joins the Step Ball Chain chosen family. Berlin psy-con Yazzus presents a sexy sweatfest; a four track original EP featuring DJ Fuckoff of tech-trodden club stompers that will shake and break you. Operating in a lane of her own, she draws on her UK roots with bass laden bounce and never forgets to add that sapphic touch crucial to SBC. “Rebel Royale” is keeping techno freaky, cheeky and ahead of the curve.  

Quintessentially out of control, elements of tension and release are toyed with throughout all the tracks, the building and driving addictive synth work in Venom & Vision; Serpent’s Rising sending even the most sane into a spiral. Basslines come thick and heavy, chunky by nature and particularly prevalent in Delicately Mad and My Lipgloss My Rules, they are the backbone of the record. Don’t get it twisted, this isn’t some run of the mill techno; the modular bleeps and freakouts, FX and vocals are wired and inspired; the glue showcasing Yazzus’s fully sick technical abilities. Last but not least, she entails the help of friend DJ Fuckoff; haunted slippery vocals are a match made in heaven for the percussive psy workout Erotica.

Azax & X-Noize join forces once again for a collaboration that dives deep into the very fabric of existence. The Unified Field is a steadily-evolving journey that builds with hypnotic precision, layer upon layer pulling you closer into its vortex. And there's an ocean of pure, vibrant consciousness inside each one of us, and its right at the source of mind, right at the source of thought, and its also at the source of all matter.
