Unanswered emails piled up, unread messages clogged his inbox - he had no desire to answer their pleas or succumb to the days worth of grovelling. There was little that could be said to change the way he felt, no amount of words or showering of gifts would change things, this time he couldn't forgive and forget - even if he wanted to. Grudges had never been his thing, it was generally more effort than it was worth, but on this occasion the situation was unforgivable... 

20/20 Vision's Exit Planet Earth series began life back in 2020, just as the pandemic was beginning and lockdown was around the corner. Originally intended to provide a snapshot of how artists were feeling at this time through captivating, original music, the series soon took on a life of its own and is now reaching the ripe old age of 10. Each release features music from stalwarts and emerging names, and on this occasion involves over 25 artists from across the world. Largely concerning itself with music close to the label's heart - namely electro and techno - this 10th volume includes music from Egyptian Lover & Soul Clap, Kosh, Annie Hall, London Modular Alliance, Mr Ho and Xiaolin, among many others.

PREMIERE : Betonkust - Tired Of Darkness

It had been a long time coming, the shackles were loosened and the people danced and rejoiced in the streets as if they'd never seen the daylight before.

That night they would gather to celebrate and sing songs from a time long ago, long before all of this. The hardships and the struggles of the recent age would be banished beyond the horizon for at least one night only before the fallout fell down.

This was freedom day, it would go down in history as such forevermore.

Chiwax release a new EP from Re:percussion, a Melbourne duo made up of Mitchell Gee and Jackson Gray who channel elements of classic House and Italo into a wonderful EP which will sound excellent on the beach this summer.

This is what dance music is and should be all about.

PREMIERE: Re:percussion - Freedom Day [Chiwax]

Delicate Features is the moniker of composer Pavel Diakov and vocalist Radmila Nikogosian, a duo who have recently fled their native St Petersburg. Since making their debut in 2012, they have released music on this label as well as Cellar Tapes and Not Not Fun Records, exploring immersive soundscapes that invite listeners deep into their world. The events of the last year have led to the pair fleeing their homeland in search of a place that better represents their ideals and can provide the artist freedom they require. "The idea for this EP came to us during our escape from Russia," says the pair. "The last few years in Russia have been difficult. The government's pressure on freedom was felt more strongly so when the war was launched we urgently left Russia and went to Yerevan in Armenia since we could no longer stay in the aggressor country. The EP is a response to these terrible events that began in 2022 and are continuing to this day. It is an attempt to immediately reconsider what we have and make a change toward a peaceful future." The opener' Formula of Faith' is a cosmically minded cut with beautiful melodic patterns unfolding over warm, rubbery house beats. It's wistful but dynamic while 'Economic Outlook' is a dreamy and deep cut of synth-laden dub. Pads are smeared across a starry sky with all the soul of Detroit while the plump drums and buried bass add weight below. The fantastic 'Get Ready' is a quick and physical house track with razor-sharp hi-hats and more majestic pads. The fulsome groove is detailed with meaningful chords that turn thoughts inwards as the drums power on. The excellence continues on 'Melting Dream' which is cosy backroom music with emotional depth and persuasive drums. The myriad synth wisps and floating chords make it a heady affair that pairs romance with ruefulness. Last of all is the humid atmosphere and cavernous dub chamber of 'Speed Of An Immobility' which sounds both futuristic and timeless. It's a world of subtle pads and booming bass that has real energy and tension. This is stylish and well-crafted music that truly brings something fresh to the dance floor.

"Remelting" is a mini-album of four mesmeric, fiery tech-house tracks that will not leave you indifferent, but on the contrary, will accompany you on a phantasmagoric and psychedelic journey through the neurons of your own body. The tracks are an exploration of physicality and feelings from Slava Los - a DJ, a warrior and just a beautiful person. Break away to the new release of the Kyiv-based label Noneside Records.

Slava Los - a DJ from Kyiv who went to fight immediately after the full-scale invasion of russia, now works in the ranks of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the southern direction. Also known earlier for participation in several famous rock bands like Sinoptik & Braii as a drummer.

"I decided to release the tracks, because I listened to them recently and they seemed to be nothing like that. So I thought that it would be worthwhile to implement them, so that something would remain after me, if I am not lucky."

Now Slava does not have time to write new works, because he has a lot of work to do together as brothers. Let's support our soldiers morally and economically until victory, so that Slava and other warrior artists can create more often in the future. All profits goes to Slava's needs.

Premiere: SITARA featuring Pawas – I Will (Nhar Remix)[Hot Elephant Music]

Up next on Brooklyn’s Scissor & Thread is the latest EP from Snad, aka Shyam Anand (also known as Spandrel), the Berlin-based artist whose discography already spans labels like Smallville, Minibar, 20:20 Vision, Phonica AM, TerraFirm, Running Back, Cabinet, Kimochi and Dungeon Meat with remixes for names including Seafoam and Chez Damier. 

A trusted selector and producer in the underground, Snad has steadily built a reputation for deeply considered productions that balance classic inspiration with his own forward-thinking edge.

The AM Yard EP opens with its title track, a warm, hazy cut rooted in the kind of bassline architecture that recalls Chez n Trent’s Morning Factory but reshaped with Snad’s signature dreamlike touch. 

Anticip8 fanchors the release with a more direct energy, rolling, insistent and focused on the floor, balancing stripped-down drive of dusty samples wrung through his digitakt with just enough harmonic flourish to pull the listener inward. 

On the flip, The Pursuit follows in a slightly different mode, drawing on experimental vocoder techniques and filtered percussion creating a hypnotic push-and-pull that feels as intricate as it is understated.

Rounding things out, label heads Francis Harris and Anthony Collins, under their Frank & Tony alias, reimagine The Pursuit with their Housebeat Remix, extending its atmospherics into an even deeper headspace that glides effortlessly into late-night territory.
