As winter retreats into the shadow of its final breaths, Purple Records reignites the flame with Winter is Burning, a compilation where Breakbeat and Techno intertwine to rekindle the spirit and prepare the horizon for an incandescent spring.

In this new Various Artists, the label brings together unique talents: Antilogic, RAVL, Neida, Juste S, Vitaline, Elbarto, and Dario. Each artist infuses their vision, offering a broad sonic palette: from punchy rhythms to hypnotic grooves, from mysterious textures to captivating waves, each track is an invitation to resonate — whether on the dancefloor or in an introspective listen.

NEON ONI - ネオンオニ

The sound of rebellion. The return of chaos.

Lambratech proudly presents NEON ONI, a defiant 25-track compilation of cutting-edge electro from a battalion of international artists, each summoned to awaken the sonic demons beneath the surface.

In a world where algorithms dictate taste and uniformity dominates the dancefloor, NEON ONI emerges as a glitch in the system — a call to arms for those who still believe in raw frequencies, distorted machines, and emotional voltage. Born from the depths of a cybernetic underworld, our Oni rise from tangled cables and neon-lit shadows to fight back against the tyranny of sonic standardization.

This V/A release is not just a compilation — it’s an uprising. Expect machine-funk, cyber basslines, haunted grooves, and relentless drum programming. From classic electro purists to experimental iconoclasts, every artist contributes a strike in the war for musical soul.

Plug in. Drop out.

[PREMIERE] Tom Place X Desinformant - Substrate [Lambratech]

Track taken from Booty School’s "Billenkoek Vol. 1" V/A

Release date: June 27

Pre-order: https://bootyschool.bandcamp.com/album/billenkoek-vol-1

Billenkoek Vol. 1 is the saucy opening chapter of Dutch imprint Booty School — indisputably solidifying the label’s distinctive lush, vibrant, and playful sound.

“Billenkoek” is a Dutch term that can be loosely translated as “bumcake,” but a more accurate translation would be “spanking.” In this case, it refers not so much to the punishment, but rather to a playful interpretation of it — the album functioning as a sonic spanking.

About the track:
I started this track when living in Denver last year. Most of my sound has been informed by my roots in Florida and the connection it has to breaks and Electro. After being away from Miami for some time I felt a deep need to create something that would feel at home in the spaces I used to DJ in. So the song is kind of a reaction to being in a new place that was a lot more relaxed but also feeling homesick for the chaos of Florida. The vocal sample comes from an old reggae track which was normal to hear in my house growing up. The song is meant to have a deep and dark feeling but still put you on edge and wake you up a bit, which I think is whats it feels like to walk around in Miami sometimes, especially at night, you never know whats going to go down.
