Delphic Iris Records Presents SGT — ‘Circuit Riders EP’

Addicted Generation (Original Mix)
From Afar
Body Control
Wizards

10" Vinyl Includes a special bonus track

Concrete pulses, acid bleeds, and cryptic signals in the static Circuit Riders is a stripped-back, sinister slab of electro from Berlin-based DJ and producer SGT, originally from Chile.

Shaped by Santiago’s raw DIY scenes and sharpened at the controls of Tresor, SGT channels punk energy and cold, mechanical tones into razor-sharp body music.

SGT has fine-tuned his sound on one of the most revered systems in the world. That influence is baked into this record: raw, refined, and built for impact—laced with rubbery sequential funk and precise sound design.

Built using classic gear like the SH-101, Pro-One, and TR-808, this is future-focused electro rooted in Detroit funk, NYC attitude, and analog precision. From the dystopian vocoder drive of Addicted Generation to the haunting static of Hoags Object Field Recording, each cut rides the circuitry with purpose.

Machines, movement, and forward pressure.

Out September 2025 on digital + limited 10” dubplate.

France via Hong Kong artist Romain FX joins the Sound Of Vast roster this October with the ‘Musique De Maison’ EP, including a remix from Monkey Timers.

Romain has been a key innovator in the Hong Kong & Asian music scene for the past 18 years in various different facets, building bridges between cultures and erasing borders through music. He has since taken a step into the world of production and his music has been played by some of the biggest acts in the game such as DJ Harvey, The Black Madonna, Gerd Janson, Horse Meat Disco, Skatebärd, Lauer, Tornado Wallace, Lipelis, Orpheu The Wizard, Kamma & Masalo and many more. Here his musical production story continues with his latest collection of works coming via the esteemed Tokyo imprint, Sound Of Vast.

Leading the release is title-cut ‘Musique De Maison’, a five-minute excursion through organic percussion grooves, snaking elongated bass tones, intricately intertwined vintage-leaning synth melodies and an overall cosmic disco aesthetic that reflects Romain’s borderless, cross-cultural sound. ‘Tonal Spices’ follows and ups the energy levels with a sturdy rhythm section, squelchy acid licks, murky bass stabs, Indian vocals and cinematic strings ebbing and flowing throughout.

Monkey Timers take on ‘Musique De Maison’ next with their interpretation extracting the core essence of the original and reshaping it into a dynamically unfurling rework, fusing fragments of the original with expansive delays, heavy reverberations and modulating synth work. The ‘Psych-O-Delic (Live Mix)’ then concludes the release with off-kilter drums running in combination with, as the name would suggest, tripped-out melodies, processed spoken word and warbling synth licks — a nod to Romain’s playful, surrealist edge.

Tokyo producer Yusuke Iguchi aka RGL makes his long-form debut with Touzan, an album that expands on the soulful, groove-rich sound introduced on his inaugural EPs for Breaker Breaker.

Named after the Kawagoe Tōzan fabric woven by Iguchi’s mother and featured on the artwork, the record weaves together house, hip-hop and jazz-tinged textures into RGL’s most distinctive statement yet - a deeply crafted vision of modern Japanese house music.

Irish-born, Berlin-based DJ, producer and sound engineer Sara Miller returns to Permanent Vacation with 'Oceanic Dream', a three-track EP shaped by her signature blend of emotional resonance and dance floor euphoria. The release follows her acclaimed Lunar Theory EP (2023), her vinyl debut Cervo on Cracki Records (2024), and remixes on Permanent Vacation and Live at Robert Johnson (2024).

Miller’s trajectory has been defined not only by her studio output but also by her presence on Europe’s most iconic dance floors, from Panorama Bar and Robert Johnson to Tresor, London’s Phonox, and Barcelona’s Nitsa. In 2024, she was selected for the Detroit-Berlin Residency, spending two months at Submerge, headquarters of Underground Resistance. There she collaborated with Detroit artist Shawescape Renegade on a hardware live show and was immersed in the city’s culture of resilience, community spirit and innovation. The residency left an enduring impression, enriching her creative voice and reinforcing her dedication to sustainable, community-driven artistry.

"Oceanic Dream" channels this duality: introspective yet euphoric, grounded yet transcendent. Opener “Odyssey” carries the spirit of 90s progressive house into a dreamlike state with its gliding synths, shuffling groove and euphoric vocal samples tracing a hypnotic arc between movement and reflection. “Don’t Stop” takes the energy higher, with a bubbling acid line and soaring synths that push the track toward its zenith, a moment built for the peak of the night. Closing cut “World In You” shifts into a groovier register, where chunky bass, swinging percussion and deep chords combine with sparkling melodies; a nod to the legacy of classic deep house, mellow yet uplifting, its vocal sample proudly declaring “house music” as both homage and affirmation.

With Oceanic Dream, Sara Miller offers her most distilled vision yet: music suspended between dream and drive, equally resonant in reflection and on the dancefloor. It is a release that reflects Miller’s evolution, marking her clearest statement yet in her journey with Permanent Vacation.

_______

In the ethereal realm of the void there existed The Delphic Iris, a being of otherworldly power and boundless knowledge. The Iris was said to possess the ability to see into the future and hear unique and strange sounds from times and dimensions beyond our grasp. 

Legend has it that with a specific alignment of space and time, and with the mastering of secret ritual practices, The Delphic Iris can be conjured by mortal musicians to ignite and inspire their souls. 
__

History's stark warnings tells us that summoning The Delphic Iris is fraught with danger and risks the possible collapse of our universe, for the Iris is an unstable and powerful being. However, The Delphic Iris' visions are often too tempting to resist much like a Siren's song.  

In recent years, electronic musicians Drox and 16 Faces came across the existence of the Delphic Iris through secret texts found in "the Book of Tidder" and were able to command its power for short periods of time, and so “Delphic Iris Records” was born.  

__   

Fortune has been kind to Drox and 16 Faces so far, despite the obvious risks of summoning the entity. We do not know why this is exactly, as the ceremonies are still to this day shrouded in mystery. What we do know is that we too are lucky, because now we can hear a small glimpse of what The Delphic Iris sees.

  It is up for debate as to whether The Delphic Iris’s intentions are good or evil, so listen with caution and may these sounds consume you, for the future of music looks promising, at least for now ….
