For their first release of 2025, Phase Group return to where they started with new music by label founders MR TC and Lo Kindre, under the moniker of TC LK. Their self-titled debut album marks the first collaborative recordings by the pair to see daylight since the release of the PHASE001 EP in 2019.

Their new album sees the pair reaching for darker and heavier territory, where modulation and delay enact mind-bending effect on warped bass lines, dubbed out breaks and mangled samples.

Album opener ‘Godmanchester’ ominously sets the tone with a distorted acid line floating over stuttering ambient pads as a drum machine struggles to find its way through a gnarled signal chain; the album’s centrepiece comes in the form of a nine-minute-plus epic, ‘TLPTK’, in which a stark dancehall rhythm is paired with a modulating bass drone and otherworldly oscillating arps, while tracks like ‘Aro’ and ‘Bouncy’ present the most club-engaged moments of the record; the former in the form of a glacial electro rhythm, subtly locking into a groove, and the latter through throbbing bass and echoed breakbeats shimmering over spectral drones.

With this new album TC LK offer up a deft manifesto for futuristic, hypnotic sound design that sits somewhere between the club, the afters and somewhere else completely.

TC LK is released in the form of a digital album alongside a very limited amount of 10” dubplates featuring ‘TLPTK’, ‘Aro’ and ‘Bouncy’, hand-cut by Henninspace at Copyshop Studio in Dresden, available exclusively via Bandcamp.

Phase Group will celebrate the release of PHASE008 with a TC LK live show alongside DJ peanut and Rick Shiver at Spanners in London on the 28th of March.

Spread across two discs for maximum fidelity, this is sound system music with grooves primed for mixing and dialed-to-a-Tee bass weight, but hovering above the grounded structures are fleeting rhythmic textures that veer things off into a world worth getting lost in. Throughout its 11 tracks, “Club Dream” plays out like a full mix, ebbing and flowing through a variety of energy levels and moods. Some of the range you’ll find here includes half-time dream-step, peak time pulses, and dubbed out mid-tempo tech, all done with a cohesive restraint and appreciation of atmosphere. The record imparts it’s own kind of dance floor dream logic onto the listener, inviting us to let go of making sense of things and trust in its fuzzy logic. 



pi premiere: Konalgad - Meghnatis [Dance Data]

R.i.O. welcomes Brainwave Research Center, a NYC-based duo consisting of house/techno producer Chase Smith and documentary filmmaker Christa Majoras. In early 2023 they freed their debut album “figure 1” via their own label BRC. Two more albums followed. All documenting their love for experimental yet charming music of all kinds.

Their influences span a vast spectrum, from Steve Reich, Laurie Spiegel, and Edgar Froese to Martin Rev, John Carpenter, early Kraftwerk, or the ambient techno of Pete Namlook’s Fax +49-69/45046 label. Yet, Brainwave Research Center forges a sound distinctly their own, seamlessly blending analog synthesis with electro-acoustic experimentation.

On “Psychic Antenna”, the duo takes a gentle rawer approach. The tracks range from the manic verbal Die-Tödliche-Doris-like loops of "I Find Myself" to the meditative cosmic trance of "Open Your Mouth." "Orange Drop" and "Transmitter Park" toy with the dancefloor, channeling slow-motion acid trance and krautrock echoes.

The release is rounded out by three remixes: R.i.O.’s own Benedikt Frey delivers a deep, trippy groover full of inner musicality, while close companion DALO crafts a dark, echo-drenched pop rework, and Berlin’s Nathan Dawidowicz injects psyched nu-disco rhythms, expanding “Psychic Antenna” into seven notions of intense neural oscillations.

SR07 - Fagli Fare Il Break (96 BPM)

https://sabla.bandcamp.com/album/morpho

It starts like a seed under skin—bare, pulsing.

Sound gathers like an electron orbiting the nucleus.
Shapes thicken, not to dominate, but to exist.
A spine forms, then limbs, then breath.
Nothing ascends—everything spreads.

In Morpho, form doesn’t arrive all at once; it builds piece by piece, from materials drawn across distances. Each step is neither better nor worse than the last—each is singular, part of the whole. Growth is not guided—it listens, folding itself into space, grain by grain.

Donato Dozzy & Sabla - Forma I

Stay Inside

A very experimental, one-off release that doesn’t quite fit into any genre. There are influences from Industrial, Hip-Hop, and IDM, but the result doesn’t quite fit into any of them.
These four tracks were made around 10 years ago, at a time when I was still exploring music production but already realizing it wasn’t for me. I never really considered myself a producer, and after this I stopped making music altogether. Still, there’s something about these strange tunes, I think it's the 'no rules' and 'in-between-genres' energy that I like and that made me want to share them now. Maybe someone out there will connect with them in their own way.
