Tune! Spun on this week's show https://soundcloud.com/thepressuredrop/28thapril2025 #radiogold

No Static / Automatic kick off their 2025 schedule with a new release from a lynch pin of Northern Spain’s electronic music community as Fanzine’s Roi joins the roster with a relentless EP of raw, rave-drenched Electro built for sweat-soaked warehouse floors. Giving us a real feel for how Roi channels the untamed spirit of A Coruña’s rugged landscape, Arise EP is powered by kicking and deep sub-bass and pure raw, untamed energy.

Out now on limited edition white vinyl & digital: https://ara-u.bandcamp.com/album/arise-ep

DVS NME - Privilège Exorbitant

The idea of the Decayed Matrix was an observation of decay within environments in Britain. In some areas its a bit like Detroit. The loss of industry leading to the decay. Steve is from Croydon, London where this decay is evident. And so that has a big influence on his mood. Surrounded by cold concrete towers, struggles to find work, numerous gangs, local debts and isolationism caused by different cultures being located into a small area and having to live on what little work or poorly paid jobs exist. Or schoolkids being drawn into the takings of crime. It can influence an artist to write same kinds of music - either hard, scary, or melancholic. And sometimes emotive, which can represent peoples dreams to live a better life. Steve wanted to push the boundaries of sound in Electro in a search for something new, yet trying to keep it grounded in robotic rhythms. He continues that search of sound and influence whilst living in a town on the edge.

Tracklist:
1. Darklight 
2. Am I 
3. Parumleo

DVS NME - New Private State

Prbit Records launches from Ljubljana with Prbit 4 Bizzy - a tribute to one of the true pioneers of our scene, Damjan Bizilj aka Bizzy.
His sound shaped the early days of Slovenian techno and electro, and his spirit still runs through the machines.

This first release brings together artists who knew, felt, and respected his energy - each track a personal signal, sent into the night.
Rough edges, heavy beats, human instinct over perfect control - just the way Bizzy lived it.

For Bizzy. For the ones who keep moving forward.
