A polymathic affair spanning the broadest musical bandwidth, French outlet Lowlife Cartel resurface with ‘Vuota Beatitudine’ - a fresh 8-track VA extrapolating their eclectic approach to contagious effect. 

Draped in surreally murky cover art courtesy of Paris-based artist Léa Bouton alias Absolemabsoluxe / graphic design by Metaphore Collectif affiliate Nicolas Guillerminet, this new release features contributors from distinct mental and geographical regions alike: French-American chopped-and-screwed shock outfit HERNVNDEZ ft. MXSTVH, a hi-tech DnB / raging electro crossover from Mexican producer Jegsaha, BFDM & Tresor alum Jean Redondo on duty, junglistic jazz stunts by Chicago’s KSETDEX, German ambient voodooist Lorica, spectral post-indus from PRESENTE, Italian vibist Alec Pace up with a ragga-informed vengeance and Memphis-via-Mexico style slowed-’n-throwed madness from MVRKMVCHINX. 

Lovers of Southern lo-fi rap narratives will find in both HERNVNDEZ ft. MXSTVH 'Artes Oscuras' and MVRKMVCHINX ‘Shutter' the kind of lo-slung gangsta heat to wake up both grillz-teethed zombies and have these gold-felloed Cadillacs’ afterburners flaring. Hailing from the Mexican capital city, Jegsaha fires off a barrage of breaks-laden fire, processed vox menace and frantic bass onslaughts that go straight for the jugular. Fragmenting the groove down to molecular abstraction, Redondo treats us to a mischievous hybrid of ghetto-tech’y jack and discombobulated post-pop experiment with ‘You!’, whereas US producer KSETDEX welds a smokey jazz piano onto a muscular UK bass chassis on the addictive ‘Gemini’. 

Flip it over and there’s Frankfurt-based producer Lorica dishing out a hypnotic slice of atmospheric electronics, both immersively brooding and unimpeachably uplifting in equal measure. ‘Vuota Beatitudine’, the track that gives its title to the EP, works a distinctively paradoxical strain of rattling floor rhythms and zero-G escapology, in limbo betwixt heaven and hell. Conjuring up an infectious palette of ragga-infused maneuvers and packing massive bass and snare-heavy punch, Alec Pace’s fiery ‘Mantra Separation’ is prototypical dancehall arson rolled into a steely techno membrane. A wide-ranging display of explosively diverse, satisfyingly weird sounds to keep minds and bodies on the edge.

Alec Pace - Mantra Separation

POLAARIZED is a 6-track LP where the label’s core artists collaborate with some of the most daring and influential creatives shaping today’s music. Polarization—a scientific phenomenon that aligns forces in a shared direction—becomes a metaphor for the collective power of collaboration, where contrasting voices converge into something greater.

POLAARIZED reimagines the club as more than just a dancefloor—it’s a space for radical expression, a meeting point where boundaries blur, and communities thrive. This release is a sonic manifesto for those who live at the edge of the underground, where music becomes a force of connection and change.

To celebrate POLAARIZED, we’ve created a limited-edition sticker pack inspired by iconic Panini collections. Each pack includes 12 unique designs inspired by the concept of light polarization. Limited to 100 copies, these packs come with the digital album.

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.

New EP from @kioskk—a Warsaw-based DJ, producer, and founder of the 00effort label.

Across three original cuts plus two remixes from fa:act and Le Frit, the EP merges bass, techno, eco-grime, and baile funk into an ever-shifting soundscape—somewhere between ritual futurism and peak-time club euphoria.

BLEID returns to All Centre with an EP of full-throttle club stormers on ACEN068. The Lisbon-based artist delivers their first EP of the year after a busy 2024 with releases on Discos Extendes, Surf and Eterna, bringing three high tempo, dancefloor-ready tracks.

TABEM launches straight into a tough, snare-driven groove. Propulsive drums, minute vocal chops and synth glitches swell into a percussive frenzy, before taking a left turn with a killer halftime switch-up.

Next up, SEI LÁ brings the heat with a relentless speed dembow rhythm, underlined by a heavy sub bass line and syncopated vocal chops. Siren synths build up the intensity and the track brings a bouncy juke-inspired twist at the halfway point.

TERROR does not let energy levels drop, with a heavy four to the flour groove and crashing snare drums. Syncopated percussion, crazed vocals and choppy synths swing wildly around the groove into a frenzy of dancefloor delirium.

GRITOS is available across all digital platforms from April 18th.


BLEID - GRITOS [ACEN068] (PREVIEWS)

Alas, spring is finally here… and while we’re at it, so is MR007)) This latest endeavor, brought together by Entrañas, offers an inspired take on traditional Ecuadorian rhythms like Bomba and Albazo. Criaturas, as the name suggests, dives into various animalistic tendencies, showcasing them across five heavy-hitting tracks.

The third track in the project, Rata, cruises calmly around 100 bpm and is characterized by three distinct sections. These sections offer a certain versatility to selectors looking to add another weapon to their toolboxes, and with its distinct traditional patterning it offers a variety and nuance that we have yet to have seen at Markham Road.

Un an après la sortie de leur premier VA, le collectif rennais Les Chiennes de L’Hexagone remettent le couvert avec le volume 2 de Big Bordel Booty Club Vol.2.
11 morceaux pensés pour le club et portés par une nouvelle vague d’artistes fem et queer de la scène bass française. À travers cette compilation, le collectif affirme un éclectisme assumé et décomplexé, où l’efficacité du dancefloor s’associe avec les expérimentations les plus radicales.
C’est d’ailleurs le cas de "Shake It", que l’on vous dévoile aujourd’hui en avant-première sur Technopol. Un track signé par la DJ et productrice rennaise Antilogic qui livre ici un condensé de ses influences et de l’énergie communicative qu’elle propose en club : break, textures bass, UK garage et rythmiques kuduro.
Le tout sortira début juillet sur le label Les Disques 2 Chiennes, avec une volonté claire : soutenir collectivement la scène marginalisée tout en reversant l’ensemble des bénéfices à la Legal Team Antiraciste, en soutien aux victimes de la répression policière et judiciaire.

Track : Shake It
