Drush emerges from the pixelated haze to make his debut on Fast Castle. "Archipelago" is a collection of three versatile and playful post-dancehall hybrids with plenty of bass and full of creativity. Recorded in improvised live takes in Drush's NK hideout, the cuts feature signature progressive arrangements and an unpolished live feel. 

Taking up the full depth of Side A, "Birds and Bass" kicks things off with pitched percs, sharp drums and a pulsating bass before a psycho-bird melody lifts you to a lucid dance craze. The flip shines light on a sunnier vibe with "Archipelago" and "Flat Earth Dub" both hoovering and modulating around soothing melodies, generous bass swells and occasional dub-outs

We back!!! 

Os presentamos la guinda del pastel de esta edición de mixes!

En esta ocasión tenemos el gustazo de sacar a jugar al delantero del número "10" para clausurar esta línea de tremendas sesiones de la jukebox de Portal.

Él es Jorge Calle also known as Psycle. Muchos ya le conocéis por sus andaduras en varias de las mejores plazas de baile de la ciudad. Algunas veces acompañado por su squad Ego Trip y otras en solitario pero siempre denotando calidad y vanguardia en todo lo que hace. 

(También se le reconoce por sus actividades de legalidad cuestionada relacionadas con el contrabando de oro negro vía Estates jeje)

Psycle es un digger, explorador y arqueólogo de la buena música y os lo va a demostrar con este pedazo de archivo de viaje terrenal y espacial en todas sus fases.

Dale al play y cierra los ojos.

If I Want To Live

Machine Cult — the Amsterdam-based electronic platform run by Déandrah and Garçon Taupe — returns with the Edition Four release party at OT301 on 7 November.

The new V.A. compilation features tracks from Garçon Taupe, Bertram, 2:29, Beau Wanzer, Déandrah, and Masha Wordpress. At the launch, all contributing artists will play DJ sets, with Déandrah providing live visuals throughout the night.

Expect an evening of potent electronics and immersive visuals, celebrating the forefront of the underground.

Every motion leaves an echo.
A delay so small it feels like memory,
folding back into what made it.

Some parts of us cancel out — out of phase, out of step —
while others ring louder,
resonant at their point of friction.

The closer we listen,
the more we hear the shape of time itself:
not in repetition, but in resistance.

Turn the gain high enough,
and every system sings its own name.

Nothing moves forward without delay.
Every signal returns amended,
shifted by experience.

What we call resonance
is simply agreement through distortion —
a frequency where return and loss sound the same.

Civilization, too, is a filter:
attenuation at the edges,
a boost where the noise gathers.

Push the circuit far enough,
and even silence begins to oscillate —
slightly altered, slightly late.

The self is a comb filter —
a body made of delays and reflections.

What we say
returns a few milliseconds later.
At low frequencies, we disappear;
near our cut-offs, we bloom.

Maybe living
is just tuning the loop
until it almost sings itself apart,
but not quite — building toward a new sta
