Mysterious supergroup Protect Ryan (@protectryan) make their HOMAGE debut with the 'Self-proclaimed Critically Acclaimed' EP, featuring four original rave bangers paired with remixes from five of the scene's most trusted underground producers.

Protect Ryan unites three friends (all veteran producers) that first came together through their shared love of '90s rave culture. Their debut EP arrived on DJ Die's GutterFunk label and introduced the world to their distinct ethos, producing club-ready cuts that inject the dancefloor with big energy. Now they expand on their story with the purest form of their dynamic sound, the 'Self-proclaimed Critically Acclaimed' EP on HOMAGE.

Leading off with 'Bro Magnum', Protect Ryan launch into an all-out assault of banging breakbeats and growling bass before a squelching acid line takes over. Then comes 'Liam Features', a track also forthcoming on TSHA's fabric presents compilation, which follows with more rouged rhythms paired with playful stabs transporting listeners back to the golden age of rave. Next is 'Senhor Whep' and its nostalgic drum breaks that lay the foundation for an absolutely naughty acid line building into peak time euphoria. Finally, rounding out the Protect Ryan originals is 'Unfinished BTEC' delivering the trio's most refined sound, with tight percussion and chopped vocals stacked on top of a smooth, deep, and emotive bass line.

While the originals are enough to satisfy anyone's thirst for rave-ready anthems, the release is complete with a staggering collection of remixes. Building on the energy that was already laid out, Apparition (@apparition-noise) speeds up the bpm with their version of 'Bro Magnum' for a hyper bass banger. Then Club Glow's own Denham Audio (@denhamaudio) takes on 'Liam Features' with his signature breakbeat NRG before Boulderhead (@boulderheaduk) flips the same track into a bumping house cut highlighting the original's infectious bassline. Finishing off the release are two remixes of 'Unfinished BTEC', first by HOMAGE label co-founder Ryan Clover (@ryanclover) who's hard-hitting version highlights the deep squelchy bass and chopped percussion while Davis Galvin (@davisgalvin) delivers a sublime and ethereal downtempo chugger.

Protect Ryan - Liam Features (Original Mix)

The concept for Schacke’s, Apocalyptic Decadence was thought out during the dark days of the first lockdown in 2020, it is essentially about the desire for hedonism and excess being amplified when faced with apocalyptic omens and the annihilation of the familiar.

When faced with destruction, the psyche approaches a duality, it can either swallow the pill of bitter realism or withdraw and escape into the imaginal, constructing a world of hedonism and pleasure, the paradox of the latter, which the album explores, is that this approach only accelerates the process of impending doom and the delusion that through the pursuit of eschatological pleasure, the world might be orgasmically reborn.

Apocalyptic Decadence sees Schacke exploring the full spectrum of his musical discography, taking inspiration from the industrial, dark and rough sounds from his early days, combining it with the hyper-sensuality of his later works. The sound is twisted, psychological, sex-fixated and intoxicating.

The album can be considered the 3rd part in his “Pleasuredome Series”, following his prior two releases on Instruments Of Discipline: ‘Welcome To The Pleasuredome’ & ‘Artificial Intercourse’.

Schacke - Tasteless Passion

After beginning his career with roots in Drum & Bass, Russian producer Nuage shifted his sound to embrace a wider range of styles while maintaining an emotionally charged sound and finding a home on labels such as Anjunadeep and 20:20 Vision. For our 32nd Phonica Records Label release, we are proud to present four stunningly euphoric works from Nuage.

Kicking off the ‘Pink Television EP’ is the title track, a floaty and playful melodic House excursion that reminds us of Floating Points’ synth work on his ‘Crush’ album. Next is ‘Ninety High’ which swaps the four to the floor for an intricate breakbeat, highlighting Nuage’s history in break heavy music. A cleverly reconceptualised Disco vocal sample and subtly withheld synth lines are combined with a sub rattling and pulsating bassline.

Maintaining the breakbeat on the B-side, ‘Don’t Forgive Me’ recalls classic Trance and Progressive House with haunting vocal reverberations and a warehouse wall shaking bassline as the track meanders through tension and release of euphoric energy. Lastly, ‘Glances’ opens with a skittish Rhodes riff and unites it with rich and perky melodies that weave in and out of focus.

Lying somewhere between a collaborative EP and a compilation, Brussels-based label Maloca Records presents SIIIX, Vol.1, a body of work showcasing a dialogue between veteran Netherlands-based HIIIT (fka percussion ensemble Slagwerk Den Haag) and 6 producers operating across a diverse spectrum of electronic music. Shimmering between footwork, IDM, UK bass and ambient, this project is united by a shared acoustic palette.

Born in 2021, HIIIT was directed by group member and respected multi-instrumentalist/composer Frank Wienk (Binkbeats) to record a sample bank from their vast collection of instruments and unique percussive sources, comprising everything from plastic fuel cans to the largest tam-tam in Europe. A select group of producers were then commissioned to compose sketches from this sample bank.

Chosen by HIIIT are label newcomers Azu Tiwaline, upsammy, Julian Sartorius, Krampfhaft and Valentina Magaletti, as well as Belgian drummer and producer Hi Hats In Trees, who returns to Maloca after releasing his album ‘Artefacts’ on the label last year. Each producer was hand-picked for their percussion-focused music approach and in many cases, their background as drummers.

After creating their sketches, the works were sent back to HIIIT, who recorded more unique layers of percussion on top of these initial pieces. These were then returned to the commissioned producers, with the brief being to utilise the newly recorded material in any way; but to ultimately create fully-realised pieces of music with it.

The final result led to 6 wildly different sonic outcomes. From the high-energy workouts of upsammy’s ‘Embrytone’, Azu Tiwaline’s ‘Brain Rattled’ and Hi Hats In Trees’s ‘CAIRO’, to Julian Satorius’s warped rhythms in ‘Klutsel-Klötzli’, or the cinematic ambient spaces conjured by Kramphaft’s ‘Anticline’ and Valentina Magaletti’s ‘A Drink with the Queen of Wands’, Maloca x HIIIT is a collection of music which rattles and pulses across the electronic music continuum. What unites this record is the acoustic colour and sense of life which would have been next to impossible to achieve without the bespoke sonics from HIIIT.

As a whole, the record can be considered as an organic dialogue; be it between composers and producers from a conceptual standpoint, or between acoustic sound sources and the resultant electronic manipulation when listening to the material.
