"Flippen Bits is the new offshoot from the Amsterdam based Flippen Disks label ran by Monty DJ. While the main imprint sets out to find its own space in between genres to move dance floors while staying non-functional enough for home listening pleasure, this new sub has a more functional approach. Wild and energetic, bass heavy bits for the more playful DJ's in the late nights.

First up is Marok (@letsgomaroki), the Wales raised and Amsterdam based producer, known for recent releases on E-Beamz and Shall Not Fade offshoot Lost Palms, comes in strong with four excellent futuristic bass hybrids. It also contains two MXC reworks created together with Nottingham's @coraliescoob

Coldred EP is a wild ride, it takes you from the heavy percussion title-track Coldred to the acidic stuttering breakbeats of Nightshop On The Way. The MXC version adds a true sub-heavy steppers vibe to the original where they flip TFMPP into a mesmerizing broken beat affair fit for the wormhole. With early support from DJ's like Madam X and mad miran it's an exciting new chapter in the Flippen Disks catalog with loads more lined up for the next year."

First single on your streaming platform : https://li.sten.to/wi5mdw4b

@Toupaz lands on Grid with a luminous, deep and complex EP. 4 tracks mixing impossible genres with contrast as the watchword.

The lead track Rabatanto wanders between dubstep and techno influences, at once dark with sizzling bass lines and ethereal with dubby percussion samples. A club banger for any crowd.

Genuine Connection is the tool of the bunch, galloping along at 142bpm it will thrill everyone with its ultra-detailed uk bass vibe contrasting with airy and colourful synthesizers.

On the b-side, Birdsong slows the tempo with a slow dancehall atmosphere mixed with deep subs and rap vocal samples.

Islandish, the closing track puts the emphasis on emotions, with sentimental synth lines again combined with dub echoes and dubstep false slowness to create a one-of-a-kind stirring mood.

Cimadevilla Secrets

A darker show this month - focusing more on low-end, wonky energy.

Debba // Voices Radio – Feb 25

We’re back with another episode of our podcast series—this time, a live recording that caught the Berlin scene off guard and launched the new year straight into orbit. This is Vision 026 w/ Harba! Captured live at our NYE rave in Neukölln.

For his Berlin debut, @harbabeats came in swinging, delivering a high-energy set packed with stomping techno, some heavy Detroit influences, loopy and hypnotic spine-chilling cuts, a touch of warm fuzzy tech house, and some wicked hard drum & bass flips. Running at around 140 BPM, he dropped heaters from Deetron, James Ruskin, TSVI & DJ Plead, CCL, Samuel L Session, and more—not to mention his own track Lakking, which sent the room into another world. A selection that couldn’t have been more perfect for the dark, underground space, frozen in time, where a bunch of proper ravers shared those first hours of 2025.

Hit up our SoundCloud and enjoy this serious trip!
