Lunar Launch marks the sophomore release for Sydney-based producer Glen S and the fifth release for local label Dialectic Recordings.

Beginning with the title track, Glen S winds the clock down for a slow and steady start. Airy pads gently suspend the listener in zero gravity as the rising resonance of squelchy stereo transmissions are beamed from the control tower in anticipation for lift-off. 

With the engines warmed up and rockets thrusting, Alien Acid brings not only a slight increase in G-force, but also a diverse taste of flavours. Starting off with classic electro rhythms and 303-lines, Glen S showcases his ambitious character as he takes a sudden four-to-the-floor detour before dropping an unlikely half-time beat that will rattle the foundations of even the sturdiest of edifices.

The voyage continues with Gatewayed Rugs, a punchy electro cut with contortionist melodies and a combination of claps and snares that leave a bright red spank-welt on the surface of anything they come into contact with. Hypnotic as well as groovy, this track explores variations in timbre and mood with flawless transitioning and a genuine commitment to capturing the entirety of your attentional facilities. 

River View culminates our travels through the fabric of space and time and beckons the listener to take pause and reflect, as rolling rhythms flow on with the permanence of celestial currents through the galaxy. One feels at peace having finally landed on the moon, as arpeggios and drones serenade us before we bid them farewell - for now.

Buckle up for Dubblack002, this time courtesy of Italian rising star TAGLIABUE. The Milanese DJ & producer is a an ideal ambassador of the label’s ethos, with his deep and mysterious electronic attitude. The opening track ‘Odissea’ lays the groundwork for the record to rise, with a cryptic intro which breaks out in a progressive detonation, referring to a late 90s/early00s sound but interpreting the scenario with a modern, actual twist.

‘Baraka Trance’ keeps the standard high and, as the title suggests, offers the artist’s POV on the Trance matter with a high-tempo, neatly arranged beat and a slightly acid bass-line, both creating a constantly evolving eight minutes-long acoustic journey.  ‘A Oltranza’ slows the pulse but doesn’t decrease the pressure with captivating rhythmics perfectly blended with an avant-garde harmonic section; a complex but never baroque arrangement that constantly holds the listener on the rope.  Three tracks with unique features, presenting a vast array of musical influences all merging to produce a cohesive, new and unheard record. Music written and composed by Tagliabue, project curated by GNMR.

PREMIERE: Tagliabue - Odissea

Somehow Klasse Wrecks has made it to 50 official releases, not bad for a label that wears its ignorance for others and 'the norm' proudly on its dirty sleeve. Over the years the label has released a multitude of various sounds, spanning bleep, rave, deep house, down tempo and the 50th release does well to encapsulate that free spirit and openess. Without much planning and totally by way of coincidence the responsibility lies with label co-owner Luca Lozano and its sonically a typical mixed bag as to be expected. Kicking off with restless acid stomping, the title track barges through the door...knocks over a few drinks before blossoming into a breakdown that propels the 303 deep into space and back again. On the A2, Lozano shows off his love for creaky breakbeats and DX donks on a track called 'Re-Mix'...which as far as we know isnt a remix of anything at all. The flip contains more raving beauties, 'Save Me From The Rave' might be a desperate plea but by the sounds of it he's still enjoying the madness, the producer makes an epic breakdown that might well signify the end of all Trance homages. Then the final track of the EP sounds like it could be played in a field in Glastonbury in 1993, its haunting vocal harmonies signify the sun is coming up soon and likely that we're about to start Chapter 2 of the Wrecks Wrebellion. The special edition sleeve artwork features examples of previous artwork from the last 50 records, overlaid in a typically chaotic manner by the label's designer, PLANETLUKE.COM.

Join one of India’s electronic music leading lights Rafiki as he takes you on a sonic tour of his Mumbai home, Anand Mahal (Happy Palace), released 31st May on Permanent Vacation.

Nestled in the heart of Bandra’s vibrant chaos, Anand Mahal stands as Rafiki’s serene haven—an oasis of calm. This cherished space is where his latest EP was born, a testament to unforgettable musical connections. The echoes of jams, after-hours sessions, and the laughter of friends fill its rooms, creating a mosaic of memories with both global and local artists. These are friends and fellow creatives, drawn to Mumbai by the events organised by Rafiki’s decade and a half-old agency, Krunk, and its offshoot label, Krunk Kulture.

Smoke & Mirrors, the fourth track, transports you into Rafiki’s musical den which is surrounded by a haze of smoke and mirrors. Relax on a cushion or the couch while playful & trippy melodies encircle you. This sound sanctuary fosters an atmosphere of creativity and collaboration, where each note is fuelled by the dance of melodies amidst shimmering reflections. Rafiki shares, “My Music Den is filled with beautiful music & memories, sparking endless creativity and profound self-reflection.”

PREMIERE: Rafiki - Smoke & Mirrors

Roots Underground kicks off 2024 with a bang, presenting the EP of one of the most fascinating living legends of Detroit techno: John Beltran. Although he has never stopped producing music (luckily for us!), this EP represents a more than welcome return of John Beltran to those more classic techno sounds that have made him one of the most iconic producers of this musical genre in the world.

We proudly present the first release under the Statica imprint “M2-9: Wings of a Butterfly”

STATICA001 comes in the form of a split ep from two extremely unique & talented artists.

With two dance floor ready, techno driven tracks full of unpredictability and excitement from the prolific Central Intelligence on the A side.

Followed by a B side of reflectionism within the 4/4. Two emotional, energetic tracks, from madrid based producer Victor Reyes.

A contrast of sound that showcases everything that Statica sets out to encompass…”Forces in Equilibrium”

Minkowski 2-9 (M2-9) is a planetary nebula that was discovered by Rudolph Minkowski in 1947. It is located about 2,100 light-years away from Earth. This bipolar nebula takes the peculiar form of twin lobes of material that emanate from a central star. Its form also resembles the wings of a butterfly.
