BANDCAMP

NEW HIT: Kalocain - Genetic Memory (DJ Normal 4's Melodic MixX) [Electric Shapes]

2023 has been a great year for Bradley Hutchings aka Guava. Alongside many successful dance singles and remixes, his self-released debut album ‘Out Of Nowhere’ is a gorgeous blend of indie electronica that steps away from his typical club focussed productions. 2024, however, sees Guava move back towards the dancefloor with his latest EP Afterglow, which drops on Faux Poly on March 8th. Since rooting himself in Berlin, Guava has drawn inspiration from across the different facets of the city, something that is strongly reflected in this release.

The opening track ‘Angel’ is a dark trip, born out of experiments with reverb and guitar harmonics influenced by UK Bass and Dubstep, an ethereal techno track described by the artist as “guitar music for Berghain”. Next up is ‘140 Drums’, an essential DJ club tool, a chopped stuttering break and hoover bass roll through a restrained but surprisingly heavy hitting finale to the EP.

‘F641’ accelerates with continuously pitching synth stabs and a rumbling low end. Inspired by F1, the track hits hard and never stops ramping up. Finally the title track ‘Afterglow’ brings a lightness and warmth to the release, delicately catchy and rooted with a bouncy house beat, the sound of Berlin in Guava’s productions is unmistakably clear.

Words from Guava:
"Putting together this EP has been a joy for me. All of the tracks are little bookmarks for the past year. I live in Berlin, and it has had an immersive effect on my music. From the grey and cold winters, trudging down a windy street in Warschauer Straße, to the hot summer in Neukolln, where the air is thick and warm, and dance music echoes off the city buildings.

PREVIEW: Guava - Afterglow [FP008]

The 6th release on Foresight Records is almost here! 
This time we've invited Neo to bless our ears with his captivating take on progressive house. Neo is a 20-year-old musician from Amsterdam, who finds inspiration in the dusty gems of his father’s 90s vinyl collection. Influenced by the sound of that era, Neo sets out to forge a modern yet nostalgic take on progressive, techno, acid and trance. The result is a 4 track EP spanning the fields of house, techno, and trance. Binding the spectra of these styles together with trippy motives, striking stabs, and intriguing synth lines.

NEW HIT: Neo - Dextrologic [Foresight Records]

🍁🍂🍃Autumn is around the corner, getting moody. U know I love edits, these ideas usually come when browsing deep corners of YouTube before going to sleep. This time I’ve revisited Czechoslovakian Stromboli from 1987, and gave it a new touch.

"Digital Animals" is a visceral exploration of our modern techno-driven existence, where the rise of AI and social media pulls humanity back into a primal state. With infinite knowledge at our fingertips, we paradoxically devolve, following basic instincts and binary patterns, like creatures of code. This compilation encapsulates the raw energy of this shift: pounding beats and hypnotic rhythms reflecting the endless noise of social media, while pulsing synths echo the tension between hyper-connection and isolation. In this digital jungle, we become evolved yet devolved, trapped in a loop of polarized thinking, driven by technology's relentless pace.

Parisian-by-choice Detlef Weinrich aka Tolouse Low Trax turns the page again. Always willing for a new episode, notion, impulse, idea, ideal. Searching for some light out there. Now Kiosque Versions, a compilation compiled by himself, featuring seven edits by friends and treasured artists. They renew some rare TLT tunes, as well as hits, that never took the charts by storm. There is French legend and Tigersushi boss Joakim, edging the TLT winner Rushing Into Water from 2016. A guarded stepper, dancy, trippy, with an enchantress on his shoulder, that haunts your body and soul. The 2020 TLT tune Dawn Is Temporal, taken from his album Jumping Dead Leafs, comes as an old school hip hop leaning track, re-fashioned by New York’s Beat Detectives, including Amen-Break and nod-your-head vibes. Producer Ido Plumes from Bristol took Tristeros Empire home and worked it club-wise. A nervous beating modification, Detroit machines, motorway funk, cosmic gasps - pure driller killer. Glasgow's Dip Friso stays tense too. Echoes, tribal bounce, manic loops. Another driller in dub heaven. Like Paris based digi-dub explorers Froid Dub, who bring a great wave of warm grooves, making baroque-esk dub friends with Make Friends, a TLT track from his legendary three Volume strong 2016 Antinote sampler compendium. Their fellow countryman Simo Cell nervously metamorphoses A Song and a Photo Novella, a TLT soundtrack for a film by artist Nicolàs Guagnini. His version has all that bass, vibrates on an experimental subconsciousness, and aims the dancefloor with a stirring bouquet of rhythmic ideas. The dot on the I comes from TLT himself, remixing his very own music, translating the Gamelan melancholy of Subghosts, a tune from his 2010 debut album Mask Talk, into today, refined with dubby upsetting notes, a speed lift, and a very playful TLT groove. Let's turn the page.

Tracklist: 

1. Subghosts (Tolouse Low Trax Rework) 
2. A Song And A Photo Novela (Simo Cell 'Fabulous Santa' Edit) 
3. Dawn Is Temporal (Beat Detectives Dawn Redub) 
4. Milk In Water (Grim Lusk's Dub Version)
5. Rushing Into Water (Joakim's Elemental Edit) 
6. Tristeros Empire (Ido Plumes Blazer Quest Mix) 
7. Make Friends (Froid Dub Rework)

Zugluft - S2E02 : Jacques & the Yōkai in Japan  // 26.08.2024

In the heart of Amsterdam, on the Haarlemmerdijk, there's a small cinema called "The Movies." Modest on the outside, it reveals a warm, old-world charm inside, with rich wood paneling, soft lighting, velvet seats, and deep crimson curtains.

Luigi, known as Artist BSS, is a regular at The Movies. Born and raised in Amsterdam, he finds inspiration in the cinema's unique atmosphere. This led him to create a song titled "The Movies," a tribute that captures the theater's nostalgic beauty and timeless appeal.

This song resonated with listeners, evoking the magic of The Movies. The cinema remains a beloved gem in Amsterdam, continuing to inspire all who visit.

The Movies

Trilha Bauru emerges as another meeting route for those on an pursuit for the endless groove.
For the label's first EP, San Ferraz delivers four tracks that move through acid, house, minimal, and tech.
Oh Youu opens the EP with a club-ready cut, our favorite track of 2025.
Acid Keeps The Groove brings high energy, blending a 303 bassline with Detroit Techno inspired sounds.
In I Rhythm, the vocal acts like a piece of concrete poetry over a heavy, hypnotic beat.
Closing the release, Down To Funk carries a bright and joyful groove, inspired by the innocence of early acid house.
A home for those who share the same pursuit of groove and aren't slaves to genres.

Acid Keeps The Groove (Streaming Edit)

STEP UP is raw street energy on repeat.
Built from the collision of dirty techno, hypnotic Miami bass, and Brazilian Funk 2000 samples, the track hits with that no-hesitation, “step up and show up” attitude.

The groove is relentless, minimal and physical.
Heavy low end, looping tension and a driving rhythm that feels like the city moving at night, lights flashing, speakers shaking the pavement.

Step Up ( Original Mix)

My love for you (Extended)
