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.

A DJ and producer hailing from the northernmost borders of the Czech Republic, Kletis finds inspiration in the rainy forest where he resides. His sound is a reflection of life's melancholy, primarily delving into deep music and seamlessly crossing genres like techno, ambient, drone, and halftime drum and bass.

Kletis began his production journey in the early 2010s, drawing significant influence from the original sounds of dubstep and UK garage. Over the past decade, he has released numerous singles and EPs, both digitally and physically, on various platforms and labels worldwide. His debut album, Black Rainbow, released on his own imprint DOLEC, showcases a blend of genres and moods, featuring darkened half-tempos, steps, breakbeats, and techno, all enriched with unique rhythms and atmospheres.

In addition to his solo work, Kletis is a key member of the Shotgun Festival crew, known for organizing outdoor festivals, warehouse events, and club parties. As a DJ, he curates sets that focus on techno tools, the melodic and hypnotic sides of techno, industrial atmospheres, and ambient tracks.
