Ōtautahi/Christchurch label Echo Train Records returns in 2025 with the release of a double single by Social Sport, his first since the alluring 'Lora/Lexa'. 'Dharma Rats/Flying Brick' is a dive into the producer's forward-thinking approach to electro, techno and UK bass.

'Dharma Rats', featuring label cohort Shli, is a pulsating, drum-heavy heater sure to electrify any floor. 

Of the release, Social Sport shared:

"I didn’t have any reference point for these tracks, the inspiration was more of an image than a sound. I wanted to capture the static electricity of a dark, crowded room, everyone locked in to the flashes of white light.

The first track features a cerebral vocal chop from Tim (Shli), lifted from an unreleased idea we made together about five years ago. Our tight-knit Ōtautahi bass scene is always a subconscious backdrop for my work, so having Shli on the release felt like a meaningful way to close the loop."

'Dharma Rats/Flying Brick' releases via Echo Train's Bandcamp this Friday, August 22.

PREMIERE: Social Sport x Shli - 'Dharma Rats' [Echo Train Records]

Polytope’s first EP welcomes two rising stars from the European bass music scene: Brussels-based fa:act and Parisian artist Meli Mena. The duo has crafted a six-track, club-ready opus featuring a special collaboration and a remix by Maoupa Mazzocchetti.

"COUGH TWICE IF YOU CARE" dives into the depths of the hardcore continuum with the distinctive styles of both artists on full display.

fa:act contributes two dancehall-inspired bangers with his signature touch: “Wizard Bubble” and “Breeze and Riddim.”

Meli Mena delivers two high-energy club tracks infused with breakbeat influences and IDM resonances: “Hot Girls Get Sad” and “SideQuest Nap.”

Together, the pair released the now-renowned 140 bpm club anthem “Dust Drip,” a track that has lit up dancefloors around the globe.

Each piece receives the unique analog treatment of Maoupa Mazzocchetti, who also contributes a powerful remix of Meli Mena’s “SideQuest Nap.”

Track taken from GLYNY - No Signs of Life [DMC033]
Release date : august 26th, 2025
Pre-order : https://dionysian-mysteries.bandcamp.com/album/no-signs-of-life

'No Signs of Life' pulses with rebellious rhythms and an energetic, chest-pumping spirit. This track challenges passivity and inspires action through its genre-fluid approach. GLNY keeps listeners on their toes, seamlessly blending UK bass, breaks, electro, and techno. Reflecting on the inhumanity prevalent in modern society, the song carries a positively humanistic message, infused with a primal, animistic ethos that evokes feelings of triumph. GLNY’s artistic diversity shines, making ‘No Signs of Life’ some of his best work yet.

Gamma Intel returns to Nerve Collect with four tracks of electrically charged bass, techno and broken beats. His Time Loop EP explores a range of rhythms and tempos aimed squarely at the floor.

Nerve Collect co-founder Gamma Intel is Dutchman Laurens van de Werken. He has always worked at the intersection of several different sounds, even as his references have evolved from chugging techno to deconstructed jungle. A unifying theme is this meticulous sound design: it's leftfield and experimental but underpinned by irresistible rhythms while his synths are so tactile you could almost reach out and grab them. His latest studio adventures mark another subtle shift across four hard-to-define and otherworldly transmissions sent back from the future.

‘Construct’ crackles with paranoid urgency driven by underlapping drums that push a cantering rhythm. Fragmented vocal chops and fuzzy, static-laced synths swirl throughout the mix to create a vortex of controlled chaos. Eerie breakdowns offer fleeting breaths, but the creeping tension of surveillance never fully releases before the disorienting momentum draws you back in. ‘Node’ feels like a computer meltdown fused with a floating, dub-inflected and steppy rhythm. Snares flutter up top as frothing synths and warped bass bring the pressure. The final touch is human vocals, decayed by signal inference, which melt into percussive loops and echo about the mix. 

‘Cycle’ takes a more muscular approach. The oversized drums and hits engage in battle with a snaking lead as a backlit glow consumes both to provide for a moment of human beauty that contrasts with the stark machine warfare around it. ‘Lever’ dives into deep dubstep madness, its full-bodied waves lurching like a storm-tossed ocean. Intricate details like distant sirens, flickering streetlights and mutant sine waves fill the stereo field and, paired with the unstoppable rhythmic force, hypnotise body and mind. 

Gamma Intel's Time Loop EP is a masterclass in tension, texture and momentum that pushes club music into uncharted territory, keeps the body moving and the imagination fully engaged.
