PREMIERE: Mercy System - Dionysus [Of Paradise]

SPE:C Remixed 3 [SPE:C 025 03] PREVIEW

Heralding 10 years of relentless club futurism, Timedance strikes forward once more with TD10. Batu's label has nurtured experimentation between techno propulsion, soundsystem pressure and innovative sound design since the beginning, rarely resting in one space and always reaching for new ideas. Across 23 forward-facing cuts, this compilation continues that tradition with a strong cast of scene-leading heavyweights and crucial emergent talent.

The wide-ranging styles across TD10 are bound together by a shared affinity for bassweight presence and vibrant, three-dimensional production. Fractured, artful deconstruction from Daisy Moon, Marco Shuttle and Verraco sits alongside the snarling half-step pressure of re:ni and Lurka and the jagged drum intensity of Lechuga Zafiro, 33EMYBW, Ayesha, and Jabes. There's space for big room anti-anthems from Pearson Sound, Bambounou and Batu himself, wildcard swerves from Minor Science and Skee Mask and more emotive melodic sensibilities from Polygonia, El irreal Veintiuno and BADSISTA. At every turn, the ideas are fresh, toying with the idea of an all-encompassing sound for the label and throwing open the possibilities for what it might represent in the future.

Timedance has thrived in an era where technology has eroded the boundaries between the generic formulae of dance music's past, helping set the pace for innovation and presenting compelling, immediate music across the tempo range. TD10 responds to that legacy with its gaze fixed firmly forwards, ushering in the label's next chapter in proudly unpredictable style.

𝕍𝕒𝕣𝕚𝕠𝕦𝕤 𝔸𝕣𝕥𝕚𝕤𝕥𝕤 - 𝔻𝕚𝕡𝕝𝕠𝕡𝕚𝕒 [𝕍𝔽𝕆.𝟙𝟜] 

Strange autumn rains are falling, revealing hidden pathways.
Time for 𝕍𝕚𝕣𝕥𝕦𝕒𝕝 𝔽𝕠𝕣𝕖𝕤𝕥 ℝ𝕖𝕔𝕠𝕣𝕕𝕤 to bear a new twin fruit.

𝔻𝕚𝕡𝕝𝕠𝕡𝕚𝕒 is a celebration - of our beloved corner of the underground, of community beyond geographical borders, of creative interconnection. Thirteen masterful collaborative tracks from all corners of the world, by spearheads of the underwater avant-garde, ranging from the darkest dubstep to the most abyssal tribe. The soul and essence of tomorrow's hybrid deep-end scene, condensed into a timeless gemstone.

French elegance on call, 𝕄𝕒𝕖𝕝𝕚𝕥𝕒 & ℚ𝕒𝕟𝕥 conspire together to produce 𝘔𝘪𝘴𝘴𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘕𝘰𝘵𝘦𝘴 - atomised dubstep with point-cloud drums and scattered shards of light. 
Sound design as a statement, composition as a science.
