Bring the fanfares, Fast Castle number one has landed: We are launching into the world of wax with “Unique Technologies” – a collection of five bass-heavy, versatile and trip-ready tracks.

Much of Fast Castle is still shrouded in pixelated darkness. This first release offers a glimpse on what this weird-world might shed light on next: From polyrhythmic bass & drum flexing, to dubstep-not-dubstep exercises in sound system science and past-midnight gaze music, our map is expansive and full of surprises.

The essence of countless hours spent soul searching & synapse twisting in the confines of our studio shed in Berlin’s outer ring territories, „Unique Technologies“ is the first building block of our humble castle. Cut to thick rotating discs for maximum bass range response and housed in a printed sleeve, FC01 is strictly limited to two hundred copies. Shouts to Lupo for the cut, Olo for the mastering and Jonas at 200 Kilo for the design

Look out for the magical cheat code inscribed in the runout!

"Air Pressure" is a standout track from Bendy's debut EP, featuring broken beats with elements of bass and house music. With its infectious grooves and hypnotic synth lines, "Air Pressure" is a perfect example of Bendy's ability to create club-ready tracks that still offer plenty of musical depth. 

With previous releases on Toronto label "Parallel Minds" the Japanese Canadian is looking to explore a new path and sound.

Bendy EP

pi pi pi premiere: Bendy - Air Pressure

On ACEN058, label boss DJ Pitch teams up with Berlin-based artist MLE to put together an EP of energetic, stripped-down dancefloor cuts. MLE, Rhythm Section affiliate and Refuge Worldwide resident, presents her first released productions; DJ Pitch puts out his first offerings on the label since 2022’s Scared.

First up on the record is the energetic Proto Windmill. Kicking off in a relentlessly jacking house groove, a blissful sample gently enters the fray. A lively vocal sample, reminiscent of UK funky MCs, encourages the dancers whilst MLE and Pitch masterfully switch between dreamy strings and punchy percussive sections.

Next up is Drum Trak 101. Playful, satisfyingly off-kilter drums set the pace, punctuated by oddball vocal samples and rallying whistles. Whilst the percussion gets a thorough workout, this drum track has an emotional edge to it, with soaring strings and a bouncy, uplifting chord progression.

Wicked Cool Mega Safe ramps things up into a high-intensity groove. Whilst stripping things down to percussive basics, the track remains endlessly compelling, with a forceful four-to-the-floor clap pattern surrounded by ecstatic snare rolls, percussive grunts and syncopated tom hits.

Closing the record in fine style is Post Club Post Step. An acidic synth line rolls underneath rigid four-to-the-flour drums, whilst a bouncy sub bass jumps between the beats. A dubbed-out vocal sample brings an air of urgency to the track, introducing an earworm synth melody that runs above the track’s energetic tech house groove.

SSSLIP returns in style to complete a trilogy of self-releases, an ongoing series morphed from his own imprint SSS. The record has an emphasis on twisted synth work & delicate percs, all wrapped up in SSSLIP's trademark style with the dancefloor in mind.
