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.

Arvid Wretman, AKA Your Planet Is Next, has assumed the role of musical storyteller with a serious mean streak of DIY electro.

Wretman’s latest album tells its tale through the eyes of an imagined anti-hero. He conjures up the gritty underbelly of an over-populated megalopolis; a world of dilapidation, ruin and sin, where stiletto knives are a dime a dozen and our titular protagonist, the FOG MAN, stalks the streets.

In an oddball tradition, there’s an absurdist, left-of-centre flex coursing throughout. This is the Stockholm native at his strangest, radiating fuck-off attitude and an embrace of imperfection as he maximises the potential of a limited studio setup.

Bleak spoken word lyrics only serving to bolster the narrative storytelling, ‘Sad Fog’ paints a vivid picture of hardships endured, while ‘Fog Power’ resembles the inner dialogue of a man teetering at the edge of sanity. Think corrosive, industrial fug and rugged, tape-damaged torque.

Through ‘No Fog’s menacing machine funk to the visceral, downbeat sleaze of ‘Freaks’ and queasy, Wolfenstein-sampling 'Eisenfaust’, the FOG MAN deals that dystopian gear in spades.
