Definite Party Material (playlist 2)

Krotone returns, rebooting his own imprint with a two-track release exploring the darker side of UKG & Techno.

Krotone has a proven track record of delivering heavy hitting, dark and dubbed-out garage/techno crossovers that always hit deep. With this, his first release of 2025, Krotone unveils Pull & Always Evolve… a pair of finely-tuned atmospheric steppers that see him continue to shape his own sonic terrain. Both tracks inhabiting the liminal space between the dancefloor and the introspective, recalling a lineage that stretches back to the golden age of the UK underground.

This release sees Krotone at his most compelling…. a call to both remember and push forward.

Soreab continues his rapid ascent through the underground with Ziran, a singular, undeniably seminal collection of richly atmospheric, endlessly swirling, thunderous bass and techno compositions that explode through the lithosphere like a fire fountain and find their home on Of Paradise.

Comprising four original tracks, including collaborations with Montréal-based artist SIM and Serbian producer Feloneezy, Ziran sees the London-based artist elevate his craft, drawing on his refined approach to sound design and sonic clarity to deliver a spacious, hypnotic, and fully immersive label debut, one that presents an altered sense of human nature that cannot be reached by words.

After heartbreak and a stolen hard drive and laptop, a new chapter opens. Amsterdam-based Tsepo returns to Intercept with a powerful two-tracker born from both emotional and material loss. Magic Bells was rediscovered after the theft of his laptop. It was a sketch made alone in a hotel room just days after a heavy breakup, bringing a more personal and emotional twist to Tsepo’s repertoire. On the flip, Phantom Fibre stands as Tsepo’s most polished club track to date, carefully crafted over 18 months and luckily mastered right before the laptop and hard drive theft. Both tracks complement each other perfectly in their percussive and detail driven nature as well as their playful dance with the listeners sense of expectation.

We started out as a small vinyl label and club night, and over the years we evolved into a global family of pioneers and enthusiasts in underground electronic music. Around 100 events and 50 releases down the line, we've put together something a bit special, so here it is, TRIP050. Here we celebrate the past and the present, while continuing to push forward into a future that can only sound thumping.

Joining us with pivotal contributions are Fractious, Moog Conspiracy, Calum Connell & iluna, who makes her debut here. Cutting-edge additions from family faces Boom Merchant, Hockins, Homma Honganji, Obsidian Wave, Fragile X and recent addition Lefrenk make this a truly intercontinental journey.
