We’re excited to welcome Osccurate to the label with his debut 3–track EP. A release that captures his sound in full, each track leans into a distinct trance-infused NRG while keeping a subtle, refined edge. We have been big fans of Osccurate’s work for a while now, so we are very happy to put this out to the world. 

The originals are joined by three remixes from CLOSE PROXIMITY, Oliver Scala, and Boudi. Each one reshapes the material in their own way, adding new perspectives to round out the EP.

CLOSE PROXIMITY is a London-based electronic duo formed by producers Frank Brady and Demack, uniting under one alias to create a focused and immersive club sound. The project emerged from their long-standing collaboration within London's underground scene, particularly through Volition - the record label and event series founded by Brady and developed in close creative partnership with Demack. CLOSE PROXIMITY represents a distilled evolution of their individual solo work: emotive, progressive, and built with the dancefloor in mind. 

Blending elements of progressive house, proto-house, trance, and techno, the pair draw inspiration from iconic acts like Underworld, while infusing their productions with a modern, high-fidelity edge. Their music is driven by thick basslines, soaring pads, and a dynamic sensibility that captures both tension and release. From late-night warehouse sets to headphone journeys, CLOSE PROXIMITY's sound thrives on motion and emotional resonance. 

Their next single, 'Be Free,' drops September 5 via CONTR4ST, offering a bold, melodic slice of peak-time energy that captures the duo's wide-ranging influences and refined production aesthetic.

Hamburg based Bizzarro Universe are a duo who have conjured the cosmos into releases on Bordello a Parigi and Exploited Club. 'Planetary Groove' was their debut EP for Exploited Club; a nod to the 90s that is now taken in 2 fresh directions by Herr Krank and auspicious producer AUTOFLOWER.

First up is Helios label head Herr Krank who braids Trance, Acid and Italo into a dizzying revision that does a fine job of channeling 90s euphoria whilst delivering something very fresh indeed. Shuttering synths and a vibrant acid line tag in and out while a serrated bass line gives the low end a stylish bite. Drums are quick and boisterous and the energy effervescent as the track powers on like a current of energy: fast paced and coursing forth with irresistible kinetic momentum.

Nijmegen based AUTOFLOWER then steps in, keeping hold of the euphoric torch across a powerful take that marches with a purposeful intensity. Drums are potent and crunchy, churning away under an electrifying synth lead that gradually opens up before a double drop that will send the floor into giddy rapture, capping off 2 different but equally effective remixes.

Higher (Extended Mix) [feat. Lexi L'acqua]

Bizzarro Universe's productions take you on an enthralling journey through their musical universe. With their fancy outfits they look like they are from the future, but they leased the 80‘s and 90‘s for their musical style. Their sonic journey takes us on a wild ride through the realms of Indie Dance, Neo Italo Disco, EBM, Dark Disco and Trance, infusing retro nostalgia with a cutting-edge twist. Their electrifying sets and mind-bending productions revolve around pulsating basslines and captivatingly shrill synths. This unique fusion of sounds, combined with their sympathetic stage presence, has catapulted them to the forefront of the German Indie Dance scene.

PREMIERE: Emma B - Why Not Believe In Me [Chevry Records]

Sarah Wild’s Afterglow taps into a history of piano-led rave euphoria without leaning on nostalgia, nodding to blurry heads-down memories while keeping the arrangement lean and the sentiment fresh.

The drums are crisp, the bassline warm, and the hook lands with just enough shimmer to lift a room rather than flood it. Feelings of of the peak years cast anew for one more night. The production hits all the right notes, subtle vox work and neat fills keeping the tension pulling you along. Vhyce trims the edges and adds a slick, late-night glide to the rhythm, tighter phrasing, more slipstream than surge, nudging it into a streamlined pocket that sits neatly between what you expect from a remix, and something a little more.

Both versions drive that emotive sound: the piano-lead hands-up moments we all long for, and a low end that translates on bigger rigs. These are the kind of cuts that makes a crowd feel like the night’s still just getting started, a steady lift all the way to impressive heights rather than a stunt drop that keeps bodies close to the booth as the lights come up.

The morning shines brighter than ever, the world bathed in a flickering glow. The city races forward at its relentless pace, and you yield to the rush, lost in the beauty of the moment. Afterglow.

Release date : 31/10/2025
BUY : https://hecticrecordings.bandcamp.com/album/no-kaunas-no-future-remixed

HECTIC’s second outing dives deeper into the club continuum with a remix EP of label boss Ton Globiter’s No Kaunas No Future. Each remix blurs genre lines and connects eras. CLOSE PROXIMITY open the pack with a nostalgic yet fresh rework of Kaunas Is The New London, channeling that golden 90s progressive energy. Vladyslav Putistin takes Reminiscing into a darker electroclash dimension, laced with EBM grit and trance tension. Finally, Ton Globiter reshapes Cross with Detroit-inflected dub chords and a razor-sharp groove — a fitting close to a release that looks forward while nodding back.
