Crafted as a snapshot of the LOCH INN series hosted at De School, 'V/A LOCH INN at De School' encapsulates the diverse talent that contributed to the collective exchange during the bi-monthly LOCH INN events at Het Muzieklokaal. The events were initiated as a platform for local artists to showcase their work, fostering an exchange of knowledge and inspiration between the artists and audience.

With 'Continue' Amsterdam’s rising star @teqmun-tijmen-b serves up a stripped down, cleverly chopped and arranged bass music track that’s highly electrifying.

In pursuit of the balance between his passion for green life sciences and electronic sound design, Teqmun pushes his sound to be constantly shifting between crisp organic textures and snappy driving drums. The electrifying frenzy of colourful synths and energetic percussive elements that are composed keep his music undeniably compelling.

Djrum's first release since 2019, the Meaning’s Edge EP is an introduction to a whole new world. For the artist also known as Felix Manuel, it was created in the final stretches of six rather traumatic years work. Having carefully honed his techniques and aesthetics, and learned some hard-won emotional lessons over this time, finally he began to work in a quicker, lighter fashion – and to cleanse his palate a little by bringing in a fresh ingredient: his own flute playing. For listeners, though, it will serve as an appetiser, a way into the delights and complexities of this new phase of his creativity.
 
It’s a serious work in its own right, mind. The use of flutes – including Bansuri, Shakuhatchi, Western Classical, and synthesised all blending and blurring into one another – gives it a coherence and a sense of airiness that unites the five tracks over half an hour, however divergent their beats get. And as in all his music, 
 
Here you find the opening track ‘Codex’ which alone touches on OG dubstep, Aphex Twin-like braindance, post-classical exploration, movie themes and more. The gentle tones and melodies that rise up out of it perfectly conjure Felix’s running theme of a protective bubble that provides a sense of safety and tranquillity even as the beats and acid gurgles and spurts all around it conjure up the slings and arrows of life’s difficulties.
 

… and it’s only just the beginning. This is the return of a master craftsperson more focused than ever on his vision and vocation and ready to blow your mind all over again.

Early Reflex proudly presents 63N3RD [EYX021] introducing a bold new voice in experimental club music and the debut from biased, producer and DJ based between Milan and New York City.

63N3RD is a deeply personal project, written over a year while living in NYC, the EP draws from 16 years of clubbing experiences and biased's love for mixing and playing diverse sounds. It blends the unconventional with the danceable, capturing what he describes as "something you might not expect to sound good together, but somehow it does”.

The opener ‘K:umbia’ is a bold reinterpretation of cumbia rhythms, layered with experimental electronic textures and basslines that nod to his eclectic influences. ‘Winded’, follows next, with its pulsating off-kilter percussion and atmospheric undertones, capturing the restless energy of modern urban nightlife. The journey continues with ‘Riddimsburg’, an intricate blend of syncopated beats and sub-heavy grooves that weave unexpected elements into a compelling rhythmic tapestry. The EP closing track ‘Sottoterra’ brings a brooding yet dynamic track inspired by underground aesthetics, marrying dark ambiance with a forward-driving pulse

biased said:
“I'm not a sound engineer. I just spent the last 16 years of my life clubbing and finally found a way to sum up a bit what these years have sounded into my ears. I wrote this EP over 18 months while living in NYC. It is deeply influenced by this experience as it is by all of the past music/club-related ones. It summarizes pretty much what I listen to and what I really like to mix and play. While working on this EP, I aimed for something a bit unconventional but still danceable—something you might not expect to sound good together, but somehow it does.”

‘63N3RD’ is available across all platforms on Friday 28th March 2025.

Following the launch of the Eyes series, Early Reflex welcomes back Ikävä Pii for “Eyes II”, the second entry in this exploratory two-tracker format. 

Possibly the darkest tracks Ikävä Pii has produced to date, ‘False Binaries Fight for Primacy’ and ‘Permaweird’ are two detailed and twisted club tunes, encapsulating the perennial state of frustrated urgency of our times. 
Uneasy feelings are conveyed in both tracks, and refracted through the artist’s signature playful approach.
False Binaries Fight for Primacy is driven by the eerie ambiguity of its major/minor harmony, and a relentless rhythmic section that nods to post-punk as much as the track’s distorted, shouty vocals. The unsettling main theme of Permaweird is hinged on an alteration of the Locrian mode (often deemed the “weirdest” mode), and its timbre, albeit recalling familiar patches from the Process Fatigue era, here paints a much darker picture. 
Topical and heartfelt, these tracks update Ikävä Pii’s sound with an uncanny mutation, material for a standout moment in a club set. Already secret weapons in Ikävä Pii’s live show for nearly a year, they’ve left heads spinning on dancefloors in UK, Europe and beyond, and now find their proper home on Early Reflex.

Ikävä Pii said:
“What’s the purpose of club music in a climate where alienation is the norm and outdated narratives are collapsing?
We live in the permaweird: reality gets increasingly absurd, and yet we adapt to it every day.
Nothing to fight for: digital vs physical, liberal left vs authoritarian right, old vs young - just false binaries. There must be another way. 
In the meantime, activate punk mode, shout in the mic, use stranger scales. 
The only real binary is rich vs non-rich (and that’s what clubs should be about).
Thanks Venkatesh Rao and David Rudnick for the inspiration.”

‘Eyes II’ is available on all platforms starting from Friday 2nd May 2025.

Track taken from Diuragga - 77th [Dionysian Mysteries]
Release date : may 2nd, 2025
Pre-order : https://dionysian-mysteries.bandcamp.com/album/77th

77th leans heavily into the UK Bass sound, a genre reminiscent of the urban cityscape in which Diuragga grew up. Packing lush atmospheric elements fused with growling and punchy sub-basses, the young producer showcases his remarkably sleek yet tough production skills.This EP features futuristic, non-conforming, soulful, 2-step-tech influences for the rugged beat enthusiast. Throw in some favela funk and dynamic drum & bass—Diuragga doesn't miss! If you're a fan of fast street cars and goose-down jackets, and COD, then be prepared to be one-shotted by the 77th EP. The EP includes a very special remix from Neo Grime extraordinaire Pholo, who delivers an icy-fresh and re-imaginative take on 'Tears' that simply crushes.
