Due for September 15, our inaugural ‘Premier Rayon’ compilation is a legacy from ‘Paturia’ – a party we organized by the French collective last summer – as you can find Organizatsiya, Ended., HAJJ, _mass or Jonnnah on the line-up, all part of this hot weekend of August 2020.

To accompany them: GOLCE, Caïn و Muchi, K I A (A Strange Wedding & Jan Loup), Women In The Royal Court (OKO DJ & Tryphème) ft. Clara!, Salma Rosa or Lucy Liyou, paving the way to another reunion in France’s verdant meadows.

Definitely oriented towards contemporary electronics, the 11-track various offers a fine selection of experimental breaks infused with futuristic trap, dark downtempo and rousing trance, all tightly linked up by an overall digital emo-pop vibe. Between its frenetic, tormented atmosphere, the release also offers a few moments of contemplation, unveiling a softer fragment of our recurrent-to-be gathering,

Limited to 250 copies, the crystal-clear 2x12” vinyl and its 10-hand designed gatefold is another nod to these moments when artists and audience join as one, providing the natural surroundings with an unforgettable memory of symbiosis and creativity.

Over the past five years, Fever AM has given us a steady drip of exquisitely modern, genre-defying club music, from angular rhythm sculptures like Gacha Bakradze's "Daraji" to twisted party-rockers like Rhyw's "Biggest Bully."

To celebrate their fifth anniversary, label founders Mor Elian and Rhyw have put together a compilation that captures their strikingly fresh vision. "It's Not a Bug, It's a Feature" presents core Fever AM artists like Xen Chron and Ayesha alongside a few newcomers to the label, such as Pariah, MSJY, Peder Mannerfelt. Fans of the label know what to expect: soundsystem-tailored bangers with a surreal twist, for DJs that like to keep the crowd on their toes.

Berlin duo crouds are back with their second release on Molten Moods. Being ardent gear lovers and live performers Johann and Andi crafted an EP of four diverse but implicitly interrelated tracks. “Switchblade” is a slick and modern statement of dance music that draws its influences from Techno and UK Bass alike. crouds are co-founders of the Sonic Ground collective that hosted many events at Berlin clubs such as Arkaoder, Griessmühle or Mensch Meier, while also running the podcast series “Technostilleben” with guests like Robert Henke or Elisabeth Steffen from ://about blank.

yet is a slippery word in English. Amorphous, these three letters in different contexts can define contrast or emphasis, set a place in time, show an expectation that something will occur or, paradoxically, that it is likely to stop. 

It is this mercurial nature that makes yet the perfect title for Tresor's latest compilation: the label follows on from the more explorative sections of 2021's landmark Tresor 30 boxed set with a compilation, featuring 13 artists making music that resists easy definition. 

Every track hints at and borrows from the familiar yet none follow the expected path: halfway through Deserto, Nandele &amp; A-Tweed dramatically reveal a very different sonic landscape that was initially suggested; DJ Sotofett collaborates with Sri Lankan artist Kavadi with results that are unlike anything in the Norwegian producer's catalogue as yet. 

Further invention can be found as Jean Redondo's Hypersonic moves across spaces inhabited by digital hardcore and hyperpop before swerving off-road and into a futuristic hip-hop section; on No Longer Human, Ireen Amnes takes a different path at the crossroads melding hyperpop, trance, and sci-fi soundtrack atmospherics, Significant Other heads towards UK Bass and Dubstep, and France's Willis Anne skims by the outskirts of footwork with a piece that is almost completely uncategorisable.

Yet more sonic experimentation comes from E-Saggila, Nadia Struiwigh, NVST, Solid Blake, and Viikatory who offer unique takes on the well-established electro blueprint, while Ryan James Ford, and Nit. both find ways to blend elements normally found in ambient pieces with those heard on a dancefloor.

The feel of the compilation is yet again reflected in the enigmatic artwork by Malik Arbab, where shapes and colours suggest animals and plants but in a world that appears to be transient and constantly evolving.
