Out now on Crosstown Rebels: lnk.to/krustremixes

On 9th July Crosstown Rebels released ‘TTOE Remixes #3’ – the third in a trio of Eps featuring reworks from Krust’s lauded masterpiece ‘The Edge Of Everything’. The selection of top-drawer artists delighted to rub shoulders with the revered master added UNKLE, Hodge and DJ Nature to a list that has seen Masters At Work, Four Tet, Damian Lazarus, Batu, Calibre, LCY and Flynn all deliver inspired versions. Following ‘TTOE Remixes #3’ EP, the full set of reworks is now released via Crosstown Rebels as an album called ‘The Edge Of Everything - Remixed’.

Linking back to a shared history that saw Krust (alongside Roni Size) remix DJ Krush’s ‘Dig This Vibe’ and also provide their own track ‘Tribetoon’ for the seminal ‘Headz 2’ compilation, both on James Lavelle’s label Mo’Wax, now the influential DJ/producer/A&R delivers arguably his best ever work under the UNKLE alias, with deep breakbeat goodness that’s both classic and perfectly now.

A sonic son of Krust, fellow Bristolian Hodge works ‘Constructive Ambiguity’ into a proggy new school breaks monster that carves the original’s metallic bass into sharp new shapes, whilst sparkling like melodic stars is Four Tet’s take on ‘Negative Returns’, which packs a deceptively heavy punch, maintaining the original’s hurtling velocity, fuelled by a huge sub-bass engine.

In an exchange that reaches back to 1997, Krust sampled Masters At Work alias Nuyorican Soul’s ‘Nautilus (Mawtilus)’/‘Mind Fluid’ on his game-changing single ‘Soul In Motion’. This was reciprocated in 1998 by Nuyorican Soul’s remix of ‘Watching Windows’ by Reprazent, of which Krust was a key member. Here the duo individually known as Kenny ”Dope” Gonzalez and Little Louie Vega deliver pure audiophile euphony, somewhere between broken beat, real house, cosmic acid and future jazz funk.

A rugged halftime head-nodder (which again brings things full circle) is by Krust’s brother Flynn – a fellow member of 1989 ‘Wishing On A Star’ hitmakers Fresh 4 alongside Krust, and also a jungle legend in his own right, as half of veteran duo Flynn & Flora. More West Country royalty comes from Wild Bunch founder Milo Johnson AKA DJ Nature’s wigged-out Martian house by way of New York – which, in another of Krust’s many thematic circles – echoes the Latin-tinged, blunted science of Nu Yorican Soul’s ‘Mind Fluid’ and ‘The Nervous Track’.

Crosstown Rebels boss Damian Lazarus maintains Krust’s epic adventure narrative, retelling the tale in his own words, taking recognisable parts from the original and transposing them into a groovy cosmic house odyssey, whilst Calibre turns ‘It’s A Lot’ into a warm, glowing two-step roller with serrated analogue bass and masterful musicality befitting his classical training.

The spiralling beat-and-bass science of Batu’s version takes ‘Space Oddity’ and deconstructs it like a cubist portrait, matching Krust himself in pure outside-the-box original expression. Rising new school leader LCY is clearly a kindred spirit too, rivalling Krust with their future-facing breakbeat science that’s equally as compelling and inventive as the original.

With such inspiring source material, it’s unsurprising that all of the remixers have brought their best game to this impeccable collection.

Defected resident and True Romance producer Inda Jani teams up with fellow Buenos Aires talent Manuel Sahagun for a classy couple of house belters on Exploited.

"Even though we started working together since 2019, it was during the lockdown when we explored different sounds going from dancefloor tunes like deep-funky house to more indie/crossover electronic songs” says Manuel. “In the past months we started playing with some new synths in the studio and that's how these tracks "Chemical Take" and "Checker Out" were born. Exploited was always a label we were interested in and we are very happy to be part of the gang."

‘Chemical Take’ bounces along with a rubbery bassline counter-weighed by a dazzling, descending synth scale arpeggio and some infectious woodblock rhythms. Whirring FX risers in the breakdown and subtle filtering make the breakdowns dizzyingly intense places to be, pulling focus before the phat bottom end slams back into life. Pulsing synth chords add another dimension of colour, making for a track that’s succinct yet powerful and will help a set change gears effortlessly.

‘Checker Out’ starts with a little hip-hop flavour in its snappy breakbeat and delayed vocals, edging into the wonkier ends of deep house with a little of that West Coast Om Records flavour as bugged-out synths wobble and pulse against each other in polyrhythmic fashion. The wonky breakdowns come across like a funky robot malfunctioning, allowing that wobbly bottom end maximum impact when it hits back in. Muted techy chord stabs give the track its final layer as subtle ride splashes add a dash of energy.

Gear up your periodic tables. Cancel your science teachers. Space Jump is back on Pets with a lesson in contemporary chemistry.


Landing just weeks after his debut on Catz 'n Dogz label, the young UK talent whips us into another euphoric frenzy with a fission of Italo, house and electro. Galvanised with positive energy, a big bassline and sweeping chords, 'Insert The Chemical' is an honest snapshot of where the dancefloor is at right now and what the ravers are craving: total, unashamed feel-good vibes.

Hot on the heels of other big tracks like 'Make It' and 'Take Me Up', 'Insert The Chemical' is the latest in exciting slew of singles from the Birmingham producer and comes complete with two versions; the synth heavy original and more tribally minded Complete Insertion mix. Both carrying those walloping synths, that dreamy chord sequence and yearning vocal, like all the best chemistry - these are going to cause some big reactions.

Elementary ain't what it used to be. It's better. Space Jump is one to keep an ion.

We’re back in the capital with the 11th installment of the “Stil vor Talent Berlin” compilation series, which brings forth a group of old and new faces exclusively contributing tracks, gathered under the umbrella of one of Berlin’s refreshing delights – Spreepark.

With the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989, the merry-go-rounds of the initial Kulturpark Plänterwald along the Spree River continued to spin, reborn as Spreepark. The fairground flourished until 2001, enticing Berliners with roller coasters, a Ferris wheel, and a vibrant cultural program, transforming the riverbank into a verdant oasis of enjoyment. However, in 2001, the wheels of time came to a halt as nature reclaimed its space. Amidst the city, flora and fauna flourished, turning Spreepark into a mystical realm that captivated urban explorers navigating through the overgrown remnants of the past.

In 2016, a new chapter unfolded with the initiation of plans to rejuvenate Spreepark through collaborative efforts with Berliners to redefine the space. Jumping ahead to 2023, the city unveiled the first glimpse of the renewed Spreepark with the opening of a beer garden at the historic Eierhäuschen. The vision of a park seamlessly blending art, culture, and unique urban nature is gradually taking shape, with the entire Spreepark anticipated to welcome the public in 2026.

As always, music is the common denominator here and Oliver Koletzki delivers the perfect soundtrack with this new release, while Chrisse Kunst renders the visuals. The featured artists on this exceptional compilation include Jan René Lai, Kellerkind, Deckert & Sascha Home, Malandra Jr., Mila journée & Kiko, Jiggler & Vincent Marlice, Local Dialect, Annett Gapstream & Daniele Di Martino, Fur Coat, Robin Schellenberg & Rauschhaus, Ark Nomads & Cosmosolar, Steve Six, Björn Störig, and Deniz Kabu.

As the melodies of Stil vor Talent resonate, they serve not only as a musical tribute to Spreepark’s rich history but as an invitation to partake in the unfolding symphony of the park’s vibrant future. Join the ride!

Here is edition 34 of Diynamic's „Four To The Floor" series:
Opening track „This Time" comes from Swedish DJ and producer Fahlberg, who balances melancholy and empowerment into a maelstrom of emotions that take you onto an electronic journey inside yourself.
„Voices of the Synthverse" by Error 401 takes us for a spin with this disco infused house thumper full of sonic surprises. An infectious bassline, energetic piano chords and cheeky bells - this one has it all and more!
Up next is Deomid with „Release Your Power" - a rich blend of retro elements assembled into a modern and powerful composition.
And closing the FTTF34 is „Adventure Time" by Surmillo. The bass grabs you like you fell into the water rapids - but then you manage to stay afloat and race down the river like it's the most exciting ride of your life.

Fahlberg - This Time

This May, The Yard Woman, a London-based talent, is set to reach a notable point in her career by releasing her debut EP 'Spellbound' on Einmusika. This accomplishment adds to her list of successes in 2023, including her support for Mathame & Ivory earlier this year, showcasing her growth as a rising DJ and producer.

Swirling atmospheres and euphoric vocals command attention. Tension is built throughout the track, where the grittier melodies come into the spotlight unveiling the euphoric yet textured character of the EP. With distinct climaxes grounded by a chugging bassline, the Spellbound EP is set to be a memorable moment on the dance floor.

Brain - The World EP
Produced by Matthew Dear
https://planete.lnk.to/TheWorldEP

Having made an undeniable contribution to the legacy of electronic music in Detroit over the last twenty years, Matthew Dear arrives at Planet E with a new alias, simply known as Brain. The latest in a legacy of Dear's influential techno projects including False, Jabberjaw and Audion, The World EP finds the veteran producer still moving ever-forward.

Originally debuting on Carl Craig’s acclaimed Detroit Love Vol.2 mix compilation in 2019, the introductory ‘Boss’ is a psychedelic tunnel that takes full advantage of Dear’s nous for detail, as a submissive vocal delivers a number of distinctive requests amid the lustrous texture of the Brain project, both hyper-detailed and deliciously minimal. This same sense of patience and space drives ‘Corrections’, a knotty, rolling masterpiece of digital distortion that unfolds into a valley of spacious breakbeats, before reconstructing itself back to visceral analogue pleasure.

Getting deeper still as the record progresses, ‘Rafe’ takes place in the hinterland between full-throttle rave ecstasy and unadulterated deeperness, as if gasping and exhaling with pleasure and relief. ‘Snake Head’ operates in an upper echelon of tempo that speaks for another variation of electro from Detroit’s community, collapsing into a trancelike passage of outright oddness.

On the EP's second 12" is 'Tantricity'. Clocking in at 24mins, this understated epic offers a tumbling, occasionally indescribable journey through passage upon passage of Brain’s ultra-precise and unpredictable world, a euphoric and occasionally unsettling masterclass in suspense and release.
