Animalia presents the first in a series of 2 x 12” compilations… For volume one, comes Microevolutions… An homage to the label’s continued growth and evolution, a label dedicated to authentic celebrations of talented local artists. Here, Animalia returns to its roots with a release compiled by the members of Menage (plus special guests Ebbs n Flow), all compiled in the northern suburbs of Naarm (Melbourne).  The compilation showcases the various moods and facets that make up the deep yet somehow undefinable Animalia sound.  From deep techno to UK garage and everything in between, Microevolutions is an earnest reflection of the diversity of sound that makes Animalia so special.

"They entered the structure at dusk, barely able to comprehend its magnitude in the dim red twilight of the setting Agamid sun. Extrasensory hallucinations, infinitely folded spaces and quantum impossibilities had quickly separated Reppi T. Lizrd from the Gecko Force. Now his air supply was dwindling, and his limbs were numb from wandering endless corridors and strangely illuminated hallways, yet his determination to reach the centre of the palace only grew. The one-eyed tyrant was waiting."

Hailing from the land down under and currently taking the northern hemisphere by storm, @reptant_the_lizard joins forces with TRUST for his 'Halls Of Perception' EP - five tracks of blistering electro bass, percussive beat workouts, and bleepy moments of transcendent bliss.

In Light Of It All (Kessler Remix)

https://spacelab.bandcamp.com/album/i-like-your-bitcoin-ep

On 'I Like Your Bitcoin EP' by Lithuanian producer Pletnev, we’ve got four tracks bristling with hypnotic rhythms and driving basslines. Each track is infused with warm and bouncy groove, punchy drum programming with a sprinkling of Pletnev's signature EFX and unique one shots.

On space•lab 013, Pletnev continues to push the boundaries, solidifying his reputation as one of the most exciting new producers on the scene.

2684, in a universe devastated by chaos, where extractivism and elites crush human rights and ravage living ecosystems.

In a world where inert technologies enslave humans and plunge the powerful into bloody wars for power.

But in the shadows a glimmer of hope, an intangible and ancient force, slowly creeps in, like a breath in the ruins, a breath of hope, a subtle and indomitable energy that rises up and permeates what remains of life and freedom.

This compilation is the fruit of a 3-day artistic residency organized by Electronic Consortium and Dans La Zone in Rennes.

“Organics Matter” perfectly embodies the energy that emerged during these 3 days, and plunges listeners into a journey to the edge of an SF world tinged with DnB rhythms, breaks, trancy grooves, ghetto ambience and other futuristic styles.

[PREMIERE] Organics Matter - Lemon Schaden | Dans La Zone & Electronic Consortium Records [2024]

Leaman makes a strong return to Manual Music with his new dual release Chami / Hamida, following last year's well-received Mark I.

The standout track Chami sees him team up with Riigs and label boss Paul Hazendonk for a deep, underground cut that nods to early 2000s progressive house. Driven by a highly delayed vocal sample and crisp, uplifting percussion, Chami blends nostalgia with a modern edge.

On the flip side, Hamida dives into darker territory, layering dub techno-inspired chords with energetic arpeggiator rhythms to create a raw, warehouse-ready vibe.

A versatile release that bridges past and present with style.

Este track es un puente entre culturas: sonidos árabes y la fuerza mapuche se funden en un viaje ancestral. Cada sample y cada instrumento han sido creados por mí, dando vida a una obra que rescata lo espiritual y lo transforma en energía musical

The subversive electronics duo is back at it again for the sixth release on Planet Euphorique. Ambien Baby brings you another slab of total sonic disorientation, the good kind; the one that invites you to dance, but also questions the stifling boundaries of genre within electronic music. Dreaming up a sound that welcomes confusion and experimentation. A spectrum of colour and vibes; electro, experimentalism, and primal sensibilities mash and clash in an odd harmony.
