Based out of Bristol, Litherland is a classic example of how the city’s in-depth community inspires producers to make innovative music and constantly motivate each other. Working part time in a synth shop, he has grown an eclectic knowledge of hardware and knows how to utilize it for his tunes. 

The track ‘Into Shade’ is a hard-hitting distorted jungle tune with Joe’s classic arpeggiated synth sound that brings sentiment to so many of his songs.

Profits made from this EP will be donated to Manchester Women’s Aid, a charity that provides emergency temporary housing for single women and women with children who are freeing themselves from domestic violence and abuse.

Canadian born, Berlin based producer @Aquarian debuts on Dekmantel Records’ UFO imprint with Mutations I & II, a series of two EPs following his debut album The Snake That Eats Itself and his collaborative records as AQXDM. The series marks his return to club focused solo material for the first time since 2017.

Originally written as inflection points for his typically boisterous and genre collapsing dj sets, Mutations deftly splices the foundational DNA of his earliest productions — electro, hardcore and broken beat techno – with new and vital influences.

Mutations I: Death, Taxes and Hanger finds Aquarian gleefully contorting mid-2000s dnb tearouts, wrong footed IDM and progressive trance euphoria into thrilling new shapes. Fast techno, hi-tek jazz, amphetamine-addled filter house and breakcore join the fray in Mutations II: Delicious Intent as he pushes intensity levels past breaking point. Whichever the touchstone, the results are clear: distinctly modern, highly-propulsive body music with an unapologetically emotive core.

Pre-order: https://piezopz.bandcamp.com/album/odd-hooks-ansia006

With 'Odd Hooks' Piezo conjures up 5 tracks of frenetic & kinetic mind/body music that are distinctly his own with a reverent nod to such genres as UKG, grime, techno, gqom & footwork, on his own label Ansia. Evolving beyond the manufactured nostalgia that populates today's current dance milieu, Piezo takes bass science into the realm of the metaphysical.

The EP's B2 stormer, 'Cutest Kitty Content' teems with bizarre ear-candies but moves with a different and faster framework. Footwork with outsider insight.

Heavyweight odes to the UK hardcore continuum from Tallinn via Toronto label Surve Records. The collaborative project of Dima Disk is shaped by bass, breaks, metallic percussion and the kind of background synth washes found on early dubstep, UKG and Metalheadz records alike. With a clear penchant for the colder, more alien variety of 5am warehouse rollers than those on a soulful tip, the duo of Ragnar Rahuoja and Robert Nikolajev waste no time setting the tone for their first EP since 2017s Fetty on the in-house label of electronic music vanguards Rubadub.

Showing an evolution in both production and palette, Pahakas retains the concern for chest-rattling soundsystem pressure but advances on the slightly lo-fi sound design of the pairs last outing. The ‘Feel the sound’ sample clatters around razor sharp, 130bpm + breakbeats and a rolling sub that nods to golden era Peverelist on opening cut ‘U R A Gem’. On ‘Betty’ and ‘MLBT’ the more spacey, ambient end of the genre are given a look but retain the overall atmosphere of the EP whilst ‘2kSamba’ ups the tempo and leans toward a mutant hybrid of early 2000s UK prog and contemporary bass music. Essential dance equipment for you and yours!

Cutting his teeth in the Electro scene with releases on Klakson, childsplay and International Chromies, Shawn Cartier delves into a new sound via Gimme A Break’s sub-label Aspect.

Kickstarting these experiments on his self-released Revival Police EP, the London-based DJ & producer has found a unique sound, which combines equal measures of Electro, Techno, House, Acid and Rave to produce a distinct brand of fast and furious beats, with a British twang, for those who like their club tracks intergalactic and rough around the edges.
