DIG Curated boss Marronn spotlights Tbilisi's underground powerhouse Uvall aka Irakli Bregvadze, who has long been a key figure in Georgia's techno scene. His minimalist yet mysterious sound blends enigmatic synths with undulating tempos here, always with physical grooves established in the low end. Lead track 'Northern Lights' has earth-shattering drum loops and scurrying synth details that sketch out an underwater world dripping with sweat. 'Reminiscence' has more robust drums and eerie sound designs that make for a cavernous feel and 'Bleak' is more anxious, with kicks stacked closely and unnerving synths searching for signs of life. 'Sleepwalker' is a zoned-out roller to close in hypnotic fashion.

VARIA PREMIERE: BLZS - VOID [DP013]

Support here: https://mutual-rytm.bandcamp.com/album/to-whom-it-may-concern

Hyden is a potent force in the French underground, creating powerful techno with dense percussion, immersive grooves and subtle nods to classic influences — all through his own unique lens. 

Having delivered standout releases in recent years, here he offers up sounds “anchored in psychoanalysis, time, and emotional residue” as he makes his mark on SHDW’s Mutual Rytm imprint, delivering influences of dream logic and surrealism as the palette
moves between brutality and introspection. “It’s hypnotic music for moments of rupture where something breaks or breaks through”.

PREMIERE: Hyden - Neon Pale [MR038]

Organic textures, instrumental elements, and striking melodic moments run through the heart of this release. With a deep sense of musicality and groove, Skydivers blends drive and emotions in equal measure, bridging raw club energy with a more introspective rhythmic feeling. It’s a deeper release!

"During the process, I found myself drawn to more organic elements! Instruments, textured layers, and subtle melodies that could live within the structure of techno but also stretch beyond it. I wanted every track to feel alive, to breathe, to carry a human touch beneath the rhythm.

Skydivers became a personal journey. Not just a release, but a snapshot of a period where I explored new sounds without overthinking, allowing instinct to guide me.

I didn’t want to follow a strict formula, I wanted to stay honest to what felt right, even if it wasn’t safe.”

Each track is a part of that story.

PREMIERE: ANNĒ - Thinkers [VAULTREC009]

Support here: https://achievementlabel.bandcamp.com/album/momentum-remixes 

Momentum Remixes brings together a series of reinterpretations that explore different perspectives on the original album. These remixes pick up on key elements hypnotic synth lines, distinctive stab sounds, 909 driven percussion and rework them into varied directions.
The focus lies on functional, club oriented productions that still leave space for atmosphere and depth. The release spans from stripped back, groove driven tracks to more forceful, hypnotic versions, creating a tension between control and emotion. The final track brings the journey to a close with a melodic, emotionally rich piece that softens the intensity and adds a reflective, almost cinematic quality rounding off the release with subtlety and warmth.

Fuse resident DJ and techno producer Downside is rapidly making a name for himself in the techno scene. He is no newcomer to the Brussels underground, putting out music and organizing parties for more than a decade. 
 
For some historical context, Downside is a Brussels native with Bulgarian roots. Since 2007, he was already out, raving and playing at parties. On his days off, you could find him delving into audio engineering, obsessing over kick drums, compressors, recreating his favourite tracks from scratch. He kept at this for years, and then started organizing his own events in Congres Station of Brussels, and saw some of his original tracks released on German labels. His consistent output and activity led him into the Fuse Club’s family, first as an audio engineer, then as a resident DJ, which puts him right at the heart of the future direction of techno. 
 
In his own sets, Downside combines deep techno and dub timbres with warmth and melody, but with a precise, underground vibe. You’ll hear his own tracks, blended with exactly what the audience needs, a skill perfected by deep experience as a DJ and sound engineer in Belgium’s most legendary club.
 
Those in the know would be wise to keep an eye on Downside.
