For their sixth instalment, Lowlife Cartel follow up to their last two compilations (“Pimps Improvisations” in 2018 and “Omnia Vanitas” in 2020) with a new six-track VA named “Kodoku”; a vortical release, both bold and forward-looking, while fully geared for the club environment. Taking its title from a poisonous magic from the medieval Japanese era obtained by placing several venomous insects in a jar and letting them kill one another until only one survives, “Kodoku” - which interestingly also translates as “solitude” - features a cast of producers old and new to the fold including Saverio Celestri, the faceless △, Prince de Takicardie, Tundramane & Ko$te, Solar Alliance and shampoo.

A staple element of the Lowlife Cartel bunch, Saverio Celestri paves the way and dishes out one of his signature jagged, EBM-informed weapons in “Sundays”. Through this hotchpotch of acid-steeped bass entangled with a frantic newbeat-ish swing and razor-sharp synthwaves, the Italian producer shows off the raw and playful facets of his craft to optimal effect. Unknown contributor △ clocks in with “Crachats de Lune”, a proper ominous banger going straight for the jugular with its clever mix of dusty, drum-laden churn, processed vox stabs and sci-fi-indebted laser bursts flashing by unrelentingly. Tailored for hi-octane action at the defunct Boccaccio or Hacienda, Prince de Takicardie “Jam’on’Acid (House Mix)” blows the winds of euphoria across the club like it was done in 1995. Vibing to a pulsating mix of rabid snares, 303-vehicled charges and mangled vocal samples on a classic free rave tip, throwback material that packs a punch.

Flip it over and here is North-American duo Tundramane & Ko$te shifting the scope to Memphis chopped-and-screwed in true hardcore fashion. Straight-out aggression, “Brick To The Face” lives up to its title, so expect leaving the place with a few teeth out your mouth and a good concussion, though more side effects could appear over repeated listens. A radical U-turn from the previous, Ute.-related triplet Solar Alliance - alias Ekkel, Oprofessionell and Mikkel Rev - bring their dashing trance touch to the comp with “Quest for Kiba”, an uptempo maelstrom for the senses, swirling and whirling up until space and time make no damn sense any more. Topping off that versatile tour de force, producer shampoo adds his delectably sensuous spin on the record with the lush, sample-heavy lo-fi appeal of “四季ノ歌”. Unpolished feelgood vibes, sun-streaked soulfulness and deft-handed MPC wizardry are on the menu for this ultimate ride and jolly finale.

Solar Alliance - Quest For Kiba (LLC06)

Subsism is a DJ, a producer, but above all a fan of electronic music, his strength is to always know how to take his audience with him, on his favourite ground. 

He is the ultimate selector, mixing trance, bass, and breaks ~ in other words: the fertile ground of his universe, characterizing his musical prism. 

He characterizes his sets by the alliance of oldschool and modern sounds, between 90's party and the best of the scene of the moment.

EP Description :
The 4 original tracks are full of club energy: groove galore, trancy effervescence and a whirlwind of acid, creating a set designed for the dancefloor, to be read through the prism of the night and the party.

Two remixes (Maruwa + De Grandi) are featured on the ep and bring a singular reinterpretation of the original tracks.

Word of the artist:
Luminous depths, designed for our dancefloors and nights, I welcome you on board for a carefully chosen journey, chiseled rhythms, trance landscape, sometimes dark, sometimes reassuring, intended for our festive experiences.

Six dense tracks, including two very nice remixes by artists Maruwa and De Grandi, whom I like very much, and which bring a particular resonance to the EP.

PREMIERE: Subsism - Mapmakers [Matière]

Now on the cusp of their fifth release, Brussels-based imprint @faktice-label line up six brazen-faced cuts from label head @tom-askkin, zealously displaying the sound of Belgium.

Ifeksa EP

Askkin - Shoot Me Down [Faktice]

With his live shows & DJ sets, Claude B established himself as an emerging and promising figure on the french electronic scene, starting to perform in Nantes (FR) in 2021. Founder of collective Solstice and later Mauvaise Ambiance in Paris with his friends & colleagues from former TRAX Magazine, he navigates in his productions through varied inspirations from pure techno to more experimental electronic works. His latest EP, Spectral Matters, demonstrates an accomplishment in his recording techniques but this new EP Newbie is more intimate. Moving Backwards perfectly expresses confusion and fury: acid synths galore, whose next note you can't expect, a raging break beat, invasive bass and almost mystical but stammering vocals.

Impulsive Force - Banal Ørekanal

Amulets curates a selection of forward-thinking electronic producers from around the world, weaving a sonic tapestry of intricate textures, hypnotic rhythms, and spectral melodies. Each piece serves as a talisman—charged with motion, memory, and transformation—offering glimpses into distinct yet interconnected soundscapes.

Dubbed-out echoes dissolve into weightless ambience, while fractal percussion patterns fold into polyrhythmic momentum. Pulsing low-end frequencies tether celestial synth work, evoking a liminal space between the organic and the artificial, the subconscious and the ecstatic.

Across its 10 tracks, the compilation unfolds with shifting tempos and oscillating moods, tracing the contours of deep introspection and kinetic urgency. Amulets is an invocation—a ritual of sound, wrapped in mystery, waiting to be unlocked.
