@1morning
@2lanes

Funky techno meets hardgroove from the heart of North America - that’s the mission statement of new Washington, DC based label, Floorspeed. In its first release, Floorspeed invites two of the most exciting contemporary US producers at the moment: 1morning representing Los Angeles on the A side complimented by Detroit’s own 2Lanes on the B side.

“Lifeform” kicks off the A1 slot, showcasing a party-rock Beltram style beatdown peppered with comforting chord pads and stimulating arps. Ready for peak time blastoff! A deeper groove takes control in A2’s “Thought Pattern” shifting the energy to a locked, hypnotic close-your-eyes moment. A pattern to get lost in and one that flexes 1morning’s range of techno expertise.

“Follow The Rabbit” flips the script as a certified red-pilled hardgroove banger. Buckle your seatbelt on this B1 as 2Lanes takes you down the wormhole and through the other side over a 7 minute relentless drive. “The Bounce Route” closes out the record on a funky note with a frisky bassline, high spirited sampling and playful dub sirens for a continuous dancefloor switch up. You can find this one at the intersection of groovy and sexy.

James Bangura vs JR2k [FSPD002]

A1. James Bangura + JR2k - Time Crisis
A2. James Bangura + JR2k - Pump Fake
B1. JR2k - Machine Learning
B2. JR2k - Rain Heavy

Floorspeed brings it home to DC with its first release in 2025 from local techno standout producers, James Bangura & JR2k (Jackson Ryland). Many know Bangura from his contributions to the Black Rave Culture crew and his numerous solo releases; others have heard of Ryland under the Rush Plus and Superabundance alias duos and as label boss of Floorspeed…all those credentials culminate in a superb piece of heavy techno for FSPD002.

First up - two turbo mode collab tracks. A1’s “Time Crisis” captures a latent sense of urgency and pressure felt in everyday life with subtly intensifying builds throughout the track. This one’s ready for peak time exposure. “Pump Fake” continues with integrated elements of surprise, switching up at key moments to accelerate any dancefloor on a dime.

Flipping the record to B1, JR2k goes solo with “Machine Learning,” a gritty, industrial-tinged track that incorporates techno’s future-facing elements with a touch of raw power. A relentless pulse guides the track through its vast, mechanical atmosphere, designed for the late-night hours. Rain Heavy on B2 closes the EP with a hypnotic, atmospheric vibe for an absolute hands-in-the-air finish.

Freeman 713 vs. DJ SAKEE [FSPD003]

A1. Kanyon - Meet Your Maker
A2. Kanyon - Escape From New York
A3. Kanyon - I’m Gonna…
B1. B.ROD - Exit
B2. B.ROD - Down With It

Coast-to-coast stripped back hypnotic techno with a funky edge.

NYC’s premiere live techno maestro, Kanyon dials in three cerebral melters on the A-side that resemble the spiraling sound design of early Surgeon releases with his signature locked groove approach. Headbanger cuts from a hardware rockstar.

B.ROD hits the B-side with a Sterac-like touch that showcases the ease of his West Coast finesse. Both “Exit” and “Down With It” will be a TIP! for all long-blend DJs and perfectly molded for the turntable jugglists too. Vinylists take note!
