SG007 by @deejayposture

A recent stalwart of Sydney’s blossoming underground music scene, Posture brings us their first international release, a 5 TRACK MULTI-GENRE EPIC

The EP features unusually long tracks that dip and weave beautifully between genres, much like the Record Thief dips and weaves amongst the shadows on a late night thieving excursion..😈😈😈

Rave, electro, techno, breaks feature all on one track… let alone throughout the EP that has incredible variety. Elements of techno and breaks (+ more) perfectly align with atmospheric breakdowns that draw the listener in before driving powerfully forward.

To say we are excited about this release is a massive understatement. We think this collection of songs is stratospherically sick, defying convention, incredibly produced, and pushing a unique sound forward outside of boxed ideas of genre. 

This release is exactly what we set out to do when we started the label , so we couldn’t be happier for this to be an SG release. @deejayposture is up next, watch this space!!!

Tracklist:
A1 - Spin
A2 - Encoder 
A3 - Back
B1 - Honey
B2 - Uh Oh

Buzzing to announce the first extremely sweaty Cristofeu x Von Riu collaboration. Please welcome Von Cristeuf.

Discoteca takes you to its parallel universe with a new hypnotic-o-cathartic EP. A blend of the best steamy atmosphere and grooving psychoactive beats from Cristofeu with the wet depth and tech power from Von Riu. An enlightening bass soundscape shaped for the naughtiest basements. Von Cristeuf 1, a blue leather sofa tech banger introducing a Mappa Mundi shroomy forest journey followed by Hit and Von Cristeuf 2, two peak high shivers trackers designed for sunset wildest kinks ending with two extra horny percussive 5am Trip-ers.

Cristofeu & Von Riu - 'Von Cristeuf Vol.1' [DISCO002]

One of Pure Space’s dear friends and most regular contributors Roy Batty Jr. steps up for his first solo EP on the label titled ‘Complicit Stutter’. 

Whilst dodging Melbourne’s winter the tracks were first ideated on New South Wales’ South Coast in 2022. Partly fuelled by a self imposed creative pressure, and later finished with a fitting dose of anger and confusion. 

The release opens with ‘Maintaining The Distance’, where a warm bassline glides beneath wiggly synthesis to create a slippery track with murky danceability, affirmed by a crispy electro beat. 

Next comes ‘Machine Strap’, a track that speaks to Batty’s fear of the modern world, his entanglement with technology and the cavernous space that leaves within his life. The four to the floor beat keeps you grounded while the recklessly bending synthesis lifts you seemingly endlessly. It’s a dancefloor mutation to twist even the freakiest of minds. 

‘Kind of Mad Sometimes’ comes with staunch simplicity. A track constructed for slowly massaging your inner critic. Its dreary drum and bass tones lumbering with angst. 

Rounding out the release ‘Bible Lashing Belt Reading’ speaks to the conflict between community and organisation, exploring the idea of understanding spirituality through structure. It’s an introspective breakbeat cut that comes with melancholic pads, and sombre tones.

1. Maintaining The Distance
2. Machine Strap 
3. Kind Of Mad Sometimes
4. Bible Lashing Belt Reading

Premiere: Jörmungandr - Root Mender [PS017]

For our final release of the year we are thrilled to share this conceptual EP ‘An-Xileel’ from two aliases’ of Naarm based artist Daniel Jakobsson; Eastern Distributor and Jörmungandr.

The world building for this release came through a necessity for escapism for Jakobsson. Across this release, he takes you on a vivid journey through Black Marsh, a territory that sprawls through tranquil yet wild swamplands into densely breathtaking rainforests.

Within this captivating landscape resides the Argonians, reptilian humanoid creatures who call Black Marsh home. The EP delves into the world of the An-Xileel, a mysterious anti-imperialist political faction among the Argonians. With sharp, obsidian eyes gleaming with ancient intelligence, they are dedicated to purging the former colonial influence and restoring the homeland to its pre-foreign rule state.

Opening the release, 'Sap Speaker' by Eastern Distributor sets the tone with a frenzied and energetic vibe, establishing the EP's atmosphere. Throughout the track, the crisp percussion maintains a sharp presence amidst the focused and intentionally immersive synthesis. The inspiration for this track stemmed from the swamp environments.

Moving on to Dam Dweller, the composition features cold, dark percussion alongside psychedelic sweeps that plunge the listener into a profound low-end groove. This groove undergoes a gradual evolution into a 4/4 eruption, accompanied by the delicate touch of gentle pads and strings. The inspiration behind this track draws from the water and cave systems of Black Marsh.

Dam Dweller gracefully concludes, paving the way for Sand Shaper, a mellow yet robust track. With a focus on organic instruments, a gliding bass, and bowed strings, Sand Shaper captivates with hypnotising atmosphere and polyrhythmic percussion. The inspiration for this piece lies in the territory's sandy shores.

Root Mender brings the tempo back up, radiating positivity, vitality, and life. Thick sub-bass tones resonate through the body, and purposeful drum programming slice through the ever engulfing ethereal pads. An amphibious croak pulses beneath heavy kicks, accompanied by soothing vocals. Strings and acid basslines elevate the track, marking it as the EP's highlight. The inspiration for Root Mender is drawn from the tree homes of the Argonians.

Concluding the EP, Tree Minder adopts an introspective tone. Minimalist percussion and sharp automation contrast with angelic pads and echoing sounds. Flutes, bells, and bows collectively paint the spirit of an alien world, mirroring the hope brought by the An Xileel to the Argonian people.

Tracklist:
01. Eastern Distributor - Sap Speaker
02. Eastern Distributor - Dam Dweller
03. Eastern Distributor - Sand Shaper
04. Jörmungandr - Root Mender

VA – SOFT POWER VOL. 1 – PROTECT TRANS YOUTH

Label: Hypersoft
Release: 12.07.24
Cat. No.: HS-01
Format: Digital
Distribution: Word and Sound
Mastering: Marco @ Analogcut

Berlin’s Hypersoft collective kick off their new label with a 15-track VA raising
funds for trans youth and a launch party at OHM.

The collective, run by Berlin and London-based DJs TPR and DJ TEETH, emerged onto the scene in 2022 and is known for balancing breakthrough and established artists from the new school of the progressive landscape with legends and innovators of the scene, a resident lineup that includes Cromby, Bambi and Bliss Inc. and guests ranging from Sunju Hargun and Spekki Webu to nd_baumecker and Jane Fitz.

Their first release as a label follows the same principle: Adam Pits, Angel D’lite,
Bliss Inc., Cromby, D. Tiffany & Dugong, DJ TEETH, Desire, Dylan Forbes, E-Talking, Eoin DJ, Frederik Tollund, Inner Zone, Kasper Marott, Lisene and Running Hot all contribute to a VA that represents the nexus point where multiple axes of the current club landscape converge. Futuristic neo-prog and razor-sharp tech house, heavy progressive rollers and massive dancefloor bombs, percussive acid workouts and lush, synth-driven HD prog, neo-trance vocal euphoria, feel-good house, dreamy breaks and UK rave nostalgia: It’s all here, colliding on a VA that explores the spaces inbetween and a vision of things to come.

100% of the profits from the VA and launch party go directly to Transgender
Europe and Mermaids, two organisations doing essential work supporting and
advocating for trans and non-binary youth in Europe and the UK.

Remixes by Earth Trax, Maara, Roza Terenzi, & Alex Kassian! 

Pleasure Planet is back in orbit, summoning their favorite producers to reimagine the two lead singles from their self-titled debut album.

Earth Trax transforms Go With Madness into a euphoric peak time corker. Full of smiles and surprises, it’s a pure endorphin rush, and masterclass in making an irresistible dance track.

Maara goes with madness, cranking up the bpm, and conjuring a version that is deep into prog territory. A propulsive proto trance journey through winds and dungeon echoes.

On her version of Alien, Roza Terenzi casts a hypnotic spell of ghostly melodies and vocal hooks. Her deeper interpretation takes listeners on a breakbeat mission through sizzling electronics and emotive sub bass.

Alex Kassian’s Sphinx Gate Mix of Alien closes it out by slowing things down and transporting Alien into nostalgic territory with melodic arps and peak Haceinda-era breaks and bass. If you listen to his emotional remix carefully enough, you may hear a vocal response from Kim Ann’s partner Cora in its final fleeting moments.
