EMA’s Woozy label continues apace with WZY2.5; a new compilation highlighting 8 artists from Ireland and afar that embody the imprint’s obsession with low-end futurism. Featuring 2 production debuts, this release acts as an exciting snapshot of the talented global community surrounding the label and its founder.

Dublin-based Ambit kicks us off with Act Of Goodness, her impressive debut that skanks on a ‘08 dread-step tip. Fellow Dub PLUS ONE drops/raises the tempo for TRIAL, a stripped back halftime sub workout. Mid Air’s Huna seesaws a techno dancehall/d’n’b lurch with wild exploratory sound design in Lang. More Cowbell’s Eich also debuts with the mid-tempo party bass swagger of INDUCTION. Vancouver’s Destrata applies throbbing wubs and dramatic breaks on a smart 2-step break in Amphibian Barrier. Amsterdam’s Jasmín takes things on a more sinister route, delivering the technoid punk chug of Grumpy Cat. New York’s Sobolik revs up the gears with the playful ‘n’ bouncy hardcore rush of Deadly. WDDS sees us out with Slow Burner, a tense d’n’b roller that itches with junglist rinse-out fervour for a proper finale.

A versatile approach characterises Manuela Mannarini AKA Yas Reven’s ‘HARD20’, her debut release dropping on DJ Cosworth’s Bristol-based Hardline label. It draws on bass, techno, and club around the 140bpm template, coming with a hefty dose of infectious energy and creative rhythms. As a DJ, the Milan-based artist is well established in her homeland, having played all over Italy, including a Boiler Room session at Polifonic Festival last summer. “For my debut release, I began the project thinking that I didn't want to focus on a specific genre, but rather, I wanted to experiment with various genres with extreme freedom and without limitations. The project indeed, consisting of three different tunes, represents a sonic adventure encompassing diverse paths fueled by passion and born out of the necessity to make the body move.” - Yas Reven The rubbery and elastic grooves of ‘WHoO-Oo!’ in Yas Reven’s ‘HARD20’ bounce up and down as light vocal chops keep up the energy. Following suit, the Dublin-based Dylan Fogarty skillfully flips the track into a straight-up techno pumper with warm, forceful kicks and insistent synth stabs to take things to the next level. The compelling broken beats of Yas Reven’s ‘Sensible Shoes’, marked by its vast hits and supersized drums, keep things moving via warped vocal bass and string-like stabs. Closing out the EP, the innovative rhythms of ‘Little Breake’ then has its percussion scattered around a booming kick, making for a dynamic and unpredictable groove that is sure to work the floor into a frenzy.

Artificio’s cofounders, Passq (fka Arcane Prospect) and Rainmaker, take their sound in bold new directions with a four-track EP that mixes raw energy with sharp, forward-thinking production. Kicking off with «Midas Touch», Rainmaker blends his techno and ambient roots with fresh ideas, setting the tone for what’s to come—deep basslines and rich atmospheres that hint at his past while pushing into new territory.

Passq follows with «Sin Perse» and «Randy», where intricate sound design, distorted rhythms, and heavy bass are combined with a touch of dark humor. The EP closes with «Amour Fou», a “hyperbass” track, filled with both longing and optimism, echoing a desire for transformation.

A Fuego Y A Fondo is Artificio's statement of intent—a fierce commitment to pushing sound to its edges, challenging norms, and keeping dance music untamed.

Name : NRJ Du Désespoir
Format : Digital
Release date : 28/01/2025

Tracklist :

- Véronique Samsung - NRJ du Désespoir
- Véronique Samsung - NRJ du Désespoir (Yssue remix)

Premier single de notre prochain album à paraître chez Human Disease Network, “NRJ du Désespoir”  annonce un virage radical par rapport à nos précédentes sorties, avec des synthétiseurs agressifs, des rythmes complexes et un soin particulier apporté au sound design.
Le morceau évoque l’ambiance racoleuse des émissions tardives de radios grand public où se succédaient canulars téléphoniques, derniers potins de stars et les hits du moment.
Ces références sont samplées et concassées jusqu’à l’abstraction dans un amalgame de sons empruntés à diverses esthétiques : breakbeat, trance, acid, garage et bass - des échos des années 2000 résonnant dans une ère futuriste et plurielle.

Pour le remix : On voulait que ce track soir remixé par Yssue, artiste russe installé à Paris qui nous a littéralement sidéré avec son album How To Survive a Bad Trip sorti l’an dernier chez Global Warming Records. L’accent est mis sur les samples de voix abstraits tirés de jingles radios et entraîne le morceau vers un territoire club avec une inventivité incontrôlable.
