FAW002: VA - HOVER CAPSULE w/ Baalti, Adam Curtain, Introspekt, + more

POLAARIZED is a 6-track LP where the label’s core artists collaborate with some of the most daring and influential creatives shaping today’s music. Polarization—a scientific phenomenon that aligns forces in a shared direction—becomes a metaphor for the collective power of collaboration, where contrasting voices converge into something greater.

POLAARIZED reimagines the club as more than just a dancefloor—it’s a space for radical expression, a meeting point where boundaries blur, and communities thrive. This release is a sonic manifesto for those who live at the edge of the underground, where music becomes a force of connection and change.

To celebrate POLAARIZED, we’ve created a limited-edition sticker pack inspired by iconic Panini collections. Each pack includes 12 unique designs inspired by the concept of light polarization. Limited to 100 copies, these packs come with the digital album.

Four years since her last dancefloor 12", @upsammy returns to Dekmantel with a four-track exploration of gleaming, sprightly drum and bass with a restorative centre. Thessa Torsing's moves in upper tempo zones have been defined by her light touch, finding power and presence in finely chiseled sounds and sculpting space between intricate, interwoven rhythms.

The dynamic movement of her pristinely moulded percussion is absolutely geared up for the club, but it's also matched with an uplifting, meditative sound palette which tempers the busy energy of the drums. Pushing and pulling on her arrangements with ever-increasing expressiveness and revelling in the subtlest of modulations to her kinetic beat systems, upsammy proves once again that moving in time to fast music can be an incredibly restorative experience.

“Chop chop chop” – as the distant sound of a rhythmic reckoning grows closer and closer, we as rave disciples in our purest form can be reminded of both the beginning of this story, as well as its current flourishing state. We recall that past scripture speaks of the birth of our beloved helicopter, which contained a sacred capsule from the future (or possibly aliens). While this capsule exists as physical, musical, fundamental proof of the durability of our “FAST NOT HARD” belief system, we know that all systems must morph into new forms and individualized movements.

With this in mind, we praise the emergence of the HOVER CAPSULE – the first of many sub-discs that expand upon the fast-not-hard gospel through a divinely anointed group of master apostles, each with their own distinctly resonant vision of musical ascendance and serenity. On the A side, three separate offerings point to an originalist form of heli-dogma (chop, chop, chop, indeed!), led by first chosen FAW matriarch Carré and her elected counterpart, the legendary phonic guru Addison Groove. Joining them in spreading this up-tempo vision of sonic prayer are rising duo Baalti, and London underground priest Adam Curtain, each delivering a firm yet fluttery hymn of audible togetherness. On the B, the deeper potential of higher tempos displays in its purest and most tangible form. While Ruby May Moon & Emanuel showcase an offering chock full of emotional, poetic intensity, Introspekt churns and chops it up a notch, infusing dissonance with her signature two-step religiosity. Data Plan & 11:68PM round things out, en(capsule)ating the true musical connotation of an ethos that continues to expand and spread – well, hover.
