Canadian born, Berlin based producer @Aquarian debuts on Dekmantel Records’ UFO imprint with Mutations I & II, a series of two EPs following his debut album The Snake That Eats Itself and his collaborative records as AQXDM. The series marks his return to club focused solo material for the first time since 2017.

Originally written as inflection points for his typically boisterous and genre collapsing dj sets, Mutations deftly splices the foundational DNA of his earliest productions — electro, hardcore and broken beat techno – with new and vital influences.

Mutations I: Death, Taxes and Hanger finds Aquarian gleefully contorting mid-2000s dnb tearouts, wrong footed IDM and progressive trance euphoria into thrilling new shapes. Fast techno, hi-tek jazz, amphetamine-addled filter house and breakcore join the fray in Mutations II: Delicious Intent as he pushes intensity levels past breaking point. Whichever the touchstone, the results are clear: distinctly modern, highly-propulsive body music with an unapologetically emotive core.

CITIZENS OF EARTH- I HEART DOLPHINZ

Imagine: a night fair rolls into your city—firework sparks, string lights, cotton candy in the warm breeze, the sharp ozone tang of the lamps. The signboard lights up with routes: a catapult with an instant floor drop, a “boomerang” that sends the acceleration back, a centrifuge with a springing launch, a haunted room with warped mirrors and a mannequin on a spring-mounted stand.

And now—the choice. Selectaz traces the optimal route with no empty loops: only those runs where height, radius, and timing line up. This is a selection protocol, the signature mathematics of DEEPNAS: a short launch, a clean bank, a soft landing—and an instant “one more lap.” Pruf gathers the trajectories into one precise run, as the city’s fair synchronizes to a perfect click.

Now that the dust is beginning to settle a bit after the incredible reaction to our mammoth 5th Column LPproject, we arepleased to announce a 2 x 12" release from one ofthe most exciting minds on our roster, and it's an absolute stormer. Forest Drive West's productions have always been essays on the balance of groove and complexity, and the balance between airy fluidity and cavernous weight, but these five tracks here are the mature work of a producer who is a master of the tonal vocabulary of soundsystem music.

Two dub versions ‘Bad’ and ‘Badder’ deconstructed from the track ‘Badman’ with DRS from Mark Ernestus. Calibre - “Getting to work with Mark Ernestus is a real honour, I collected Basic Channel, Rhythm & Sound and his other work for many years and still do, It’s hard to avoid the influence of these guys in electronic music across genres and so it is a real pleasure to have Mark do his thing with the Badman tune which I think sounds closely related.”
