PREMIERE / 2024 December

Happy Saint Nicholas Day everyone !

Grid celebrates Christmas a bit in advance this year by offering you a special gift : a one-of-a-kind family compilation with Grid producers remixing other Grid producers tracks previously released on the label.

The project started with this simple idea, ending with 12 unpredictable matches, 12 chance encounters. A lovely way to revisit our catalog by the artists themselves, gathered together after 4 years, like catching up at a family dinner. 'Long time, no see !

PREMIERE⚡️J. Mono - Eighto [Dalmata Daniel]

The Bogotá based imprint drops its third release and launches the Split Trax series, a concept built around the essence of collaboration. The debut of Split Trax brings together four unique artists, each expanding the horizons of the hybrid club sound, giving deconstructed-tribal-rhythmically immersive vibes. DLBCN was brought by Ukrainian The Lazy Jesus to the table, setting the stage with a track that feels like a punch to the face—a raw blend of heavy bass, tribal rhythms, and stripped-down beats. This primal energy serves as the perfect playground for the remixes to follow, making each layer hit harder than the last. Kicking things off, Ene Ese (Ecuador) drops a remix that fuses deep, bass-driven lines with intricate percussive layers, building from an intense, headbanging pulse into a restless, hypnotic rhythm that hooks you hard. Next up, DJ Latinchat (Peruvian/Berlin-based) takes the track into darker Latin club territory, blending Afro-Latino punch with a mesmeric, bass-heavy flow. It's a rhythmic trip that layers Latin American beats into a psychedelic, almost trance-like tapestry. Lastly, Tufi (Argentinian/Berlin-based) dials in a dark, ambient-heavy remix, layering deep, textured bass with shadowy atmospherics. The track brings an immersive, weighty cadence marked by raw, moody intensity and sound design that’s as mysterious as it is captivating. Split Trax sets the tone for a series that will continue evolving, showcasing one track reimagined through multiple visions and styles.

Mixed Feelings proudly presents its third release: PANTING.

The EP opens with Zero Crossing Point’s Doom Process, a bass-driven, vicious opener from the French producer. With its overdriven beats and ferocious basslines, the track exudes an overwhelming intensity that balances between visceral damage and addictive pleasure, setting a dark and aggressive tone for the release.

Next is Depth of Involvement by Montreal-based xl.iks, a mesmerizing blend of broken rhythms and glitch. Ethereal, medieval-inspired choirs intertwine with an anxiety-laden string section, crafting an atmosphere both haunting and beautiful. This track captures the essence of what could be called IDM 2.0—a bold, post-modern take on the genre.

The third offering, Panting, comes from label head Jaxe. A seamless fusion of trance and drum-and-bass breakbeats, it features a saw-fueled bassline paired with smooth, lightweight vocals. Centered on dancefloor euphoria, the track embodies the EP’s thesis: a club experience that is rough, aggressive, and dark, yet also liberating and euphoric.

Closing the EP is biju’s remix of Panting, offering a gentle descent after the intensity of the ride. The track is both psychedelic and club-ready, wrapped under a warm and comfortable blanket of a house party couch. Its bell-like soundscapes and soothing architecture bring a sense of healing, leaving the listener in a state of reflective calm.

PREMIERE⚡️Karma SHE & Lily Haz - Jungle Time [Antinote]

Reflecting a creative evolution of over a decade, honed through the fundamental parties, labels and record shops of the 2010s. The UK-raised, Barcelona based artist: EYRA, has cultivated a genre-fluid style that plugs sound system pressure into worldly rhythms, pulsating house and mutant dancehall. His catalog includes releases on Accidental Meetings, Related Articles and Pressure Dome, as well as being the co-founder of the event series POLYGLOT and member of musical collective ABUNDANCE.

Esoteric and sub-heavy bangers is the name of the game with EYRA’s latest offering on New Zealand label Related Articles, serving up two infectious and steppy groovers 'Peso Neto' & 'Weit'. These slick club productions make optimum use of space and dynamics, exploring moments of tension and release with immense bass pressure. Sprawling and textural sound design swirls around these deeply-rooted rhythms that take influence from dancehall, grime, footwork and dembow.

Peso Noto - a versatile and rhythmic club weapon that sways seamlessly in between footwork and dancehall patterns, a perfect track for jumping between genres and tempos whilst keeping the energy high and the crowd locked in.

Weit delivers a sprawling and chuggy dancehall mutation with hints of grime influence dropped in for good measure. Laidback, swaggering grooves make ample space for the fidgeting percussion to dance on top, while a gliding grime lead seeps through the cracks.

PREMIERE⚡️Tassilo Vanhöfen - Ephemeris [LÍO Press]

As our fourth release we are extremely excited to present an EP from Leszek Romaniak, hiding under X-Truder, a Polish artist currently based in the UK.
Since childhood, music has always had an important place in Leszek's life. As a teenager he was into rap, breakdancing and graffiti, sometimes listening to Kraftwerk, Aphex Twin and Photek. It was around that time that turntables and scratching/vinyl playing caught his attention, but it was Dave Clarke and his techno-electro DJ sets that blew Leszek's mind. Then he decided he wanted to do it too and immersed himself in electronic music: Umek, Chris Liebing, DJ Hell, Hacker, Dopplereffekt. Eventually Leszek bought a pair of Technics 1210s and started collecting vinyl records and DJing. He did this for almost 20 years under different names. Obviously the next step was to produce music, but he didn't take it seriously until 2018 when he started «X-Truder».

We've always been deeply captivated by his unbridled pure energy of ripping beats and rhythms with a strong edge of distortion and timbral diversity. Which is also what our release confirms. Literally with German machine precision, Leszek builds his powerfully effective structures and imagery, at the same time that have a fundamentally wild and unbridled energy emanating from the drums.

PREMIERE⚡️X-Truder - Automatic Behaiviour [Strange But Dance Music]

TikTok Teens is the debut album of Super 180, brainchild of visual and sound artist Del.Duc and fellow producer Côme.

Hailing from southern France with a unique approach to dancefloor songwriting and a particular taste for mind-melting hooks and psychedelic sound design, the duo bring to light a little gem almost out of nowhere that is set to shine for years to come. Not a single filler on both sides, every track brings a charge of fresh energy with truly memorable moments that once heard seem to imprint the mind of the listener forever, guaranteed by the source.

The six tracks move across a broad spectrum of genres seamlessly shifting from entrancing peak time techno-ish bagners, heavy bass loaded idm torn apart by overtones screaming synth lines, blissfull emotional breakbeat nostalgia and everything in-between, always avoiding to lean in the clichès and pushing the envelope further while keeping all the elements tight and a clear-cut vision from the first to the last bar.

A sense of ecstatic euphoria infuse the whole record which combined with a detailed forward-thinking production and tasteful arrangements makes it a perfect soundtrack for the third millenium braindance specialists.
