Out now - 12 tracks: double vinyl and digital 

In 2013, Different Circles launched with Weightless Volume One, a compilation that helped define a new minimalist aesthetic in electronic music. 

Twelve years later and after a six-year pause, the label returns with its tenth release: Ping Volume One.

Like weightless, ping isn’t a genre. It's an approach to anchoring and propelling sound without relying on the steady pulse of a kick drum.

Instead, a single percussive hit — the ping — holds the centre. Dry and high in the mix, or echoing distantly through space, it becomes a temporal anchor. Around it, the rest of the track can undulate, bend, float or collapse.

The term first appeared on Mumdance’s radio show, where playing “the pingy ones” from the Different Circles back catalogue became a running joke. In the Discord community, it evolved into a shared language, with memes, lore and a mascot known as the Ping Devil.

In 2023, Mumdance aired The “Ping Report” a radio show that gathered everything into a coherent moodboard. It included original tracks made by Discord members for the show and set the foundations. From there, more producers began making ping intentionally, and over time, Ping Volume One took shape.

As the idea came into focus, Logos and Mumdance noticed that much of the Different Circles back catalogue, if not explicitly weightless, could now be understood through the lens of ping. It was a sound they had been drawn to long before they had a language to describe it.

Ping Volume One is a document of shared instinct. A collection of tracks connected by feel rather than formula, shaped by years of dialogue between a community of artists and listeners who were drawn to the same sounds & ideas before they had a name.

It's real and ethereal at the same time. It's creative expression thanks to imagination, it's ineffable, it's the only universal language of human being, it's emotion, ordered but always different, formal without form, it's mathematically organized but still the highest expression of freedom. It's art because art is never perfect. There is never perfect symmetry, absolute harmony. Harmonics, chords, the circle of fifths, the timbre. 
They all represent this magical imperfection.

MUSIC is the highest form of art because, unlike the other arts, you can't really see the object like in a paint but through notes you can imagine everything you want. More than an art is an incessant and primordial need, an obsession. Maybe the most beautiful of human obsessions.
