Introducing @lo_chi as the artist for Different Intel’s inaugural release.

Bristol-based Lo Chi touches down on Different Intel with an expansive 4-track EP for the label’s inaugural release. This EP explores the versatility of his sound across varying genres and tempos, showcasing outstanding sound design and intricate stylistic choices throughout its entirety. Moving forward Lo Chi is definitely a producer to keep both ears on, backed with major support from prolific prodigies such as Henry Greenleaf, as this EP signifies the first full release in his forthcoming production career.

Long time friend, affiliate and musical chameleon Hugo Massien debuts Outer Reach on KAIZEN. An expansive 3-tracker, combining big room breaks and bass with emotional house and wobbly 2step.

Boasting an impressive back-catalogue on XL, Tectonic and some of the biggest labels on the UK club circuit, we're super chuffed to be welcoming Hugo to the KAIZEN family.

Since shelling down KAIZEN KLUB 5 years ago at our early ‘Bussey Building’ raves, playing a stack of unreleased heaters that tore up the dancefloor, this alliance has been a longtime coming.

A ‘hands-in-the-air’, feel-good breakbeat banger built for the Ravers. In a move reminiscent to some of Bicep’s biggest anthems, crackling with energy and old-skool jungle breaks that ride along warbling synths and chopped-up vocals, this explosive 130 club tool blends the rave with the ambient. A hybrid we’ve come to know and love in true Massien-fashion.

pi pi pi premiere: Hugo Massien - Outer Reach (Kaizen)

Introducing Pala EP, the first instalment of Pressure Dome’s new tape series and a PD debut from London’s City Kudu. So far finding its home across Manchester’s Access Memory imprint, and Kudu’s own beloved brainchild, Kite Hill Records, the emerging producer’s discography toys with space and rhythm to create immersive environments.

In keeping with this theme, Pala EP is a thoughtful display of the ways in which light and shade can co-exist in dance music, each track bolstered by driving bass lines and accented by delicate melodic flares. Honeysuckle and Jade draw on dubbed-out soundscapes taken from the schools of Basic Channel and SND, both enlivened by the dynamism of tuned drums. The former is haunted by a fragmented voice, whilst the latter is bathed in a plaintive ambience. Connected in their half-time pace, Pala and Twine work to further emphasise the dichotomy between light and shade. The title track’s dancehall-indebted rhythm accompanies radiant pads, whilst Twine represents its gritty counterpart, not a far cry from the work of Livity Sound extraordinaires Toma Kami and Kouslin. 

Exclusively on offer to those swift enough to get their hands on a limited edition cassette, the B-side sees Kudu wear the EP’s influences on his sleeve, offering an inspiration mix featuring music that has fed into the sound of the EP.

« Founded almost four years ago, Le Motel’s Maloca Records has excelled in world-building as it tirelessly brings together some of the best and most innovative artists from different pockets of the club community around the world. This is showcased most notably through the compilation series which returns for its second volume on the 8th December as it combines both established and breakthrough artists.

Across 17 tracks, Maloca, Vol. 2 features both label family and exciting debuts with the likes of Farsight, Griffit Vigo, and DJ JM returning to the imprint. The rest of the compilation sees knockout contributions from the likes of Bambounou, Flore, Konduku, Tristan Arp, NVST, De Grandi, Neida, Cheb Runner, Malo2k, Leese, Ultima Esuna & Destrata, Mika Oki, M I M I and Space Drum Meditation. Whilst these artists may be from different cities across the pond, they all have something in common - they are leading the way for the next wave of club music. Whether that’s the riotous sounds of NVST, Griffit Vigo’s ever- evolving landscape of gqom, Tristan Arp’s signature insect-inspired soundscape, the emerging Brussels-based artists M I M I and Mika Oki or the trippy, introspective melodies of Konduku and Space Drum Meditation. Maloca, Vol. 2, captures a mind-melting moment in time.

The artwork is by Brussels-based painter Anastasia Bay who’s work presents a renewed vision of the human figure. Oscillating between abstraction and figuration, Anastasia Bay’s work is all about contrast and balance. The choice of a precise fragment of reality in her works dissolves any narration. »

Predator Extended Mix

No Escape by Jeffrey Lulanaj—this track is straight-up 🔥! Dropping you into a wild techno vortex, it’s got a pounding 4/4 beat that hits like a freight train, paired with slick, icy synths that vibe like a neon-lit cyberworld. The bass growls deep, and those crisp hi-hats keep the energy soaring. Lulanaj crafts a hypnotic, dark groove that’s perfect for losing yourself on the dancefloor or cruising through a late-night cityscape. This banger’s got no chill and No Escape

"This time profits will be split between two amazing services. The first is Faz Amnesty. Faz, a victim of knife crime himself in the past, connects through the community on instagram and swaps JD vouchers for weapons he then disposes of with the police. The second Steel Warriors, take knives off the streets and melt them down into calisthenics training bars in public parks.
 
Together they're working in Shubzin's home province of Enfield to build a park for local young people to get involved and be part of a positive and supportive community. With Knife crime in London hitting record levels this year just gone and policing either ineffective or inflammatory, organizations like the above are crucial in not only keeping our communities safe but mentoring and guiding those who want help to change for the better."
