Human Endeavour Records, an offshoot of Ransom Note Records, has announced its third release, ‘Comfort Zone’, from Geneva-based producer Reda Saiarh.

Having appeared on the label’s inaugural Various Artists release, ‘Trains Of Thought’, Reda now steps up to the plate for his first solo EP on the imprint, which showcases his fresh, forward-thinking take on Belgian New Beat.

Originally born in Brussels, and now residing in Geneva where he co-runs music and cultural bar Canal 54, Reda's music draws influence from his Belgo-Moroccan heritage and formative moments spent digging through his father’s record collection, which was heavily saturated with the iconic 80s Belgian sound.

On ‘Comfort Zone’, he approaches the traditions of the genre with a completely new twist that weaves elements of progressive trance, jackin’ 90s house and Italo disco into the mix, alongside his trusty bank of signature New Beat samples.

‘Keyboard Warriors’ gets things going. As Reda rightly reminds us, “they are terrible”, though this track is anything but. Exploring the impact social media can have on our relationships, a theme which rears its head several times across the EP, the opener throws all sorts of samples into the mix, from sports announcers to stuttering vocals and ghostly whispers, which ride an off-beat bass line, warm keys and a punchy kick.

Lead single ‘Ego Slaves’ follows, wasting no time charging out of the gate. Eerie vocals wash over fat, rumbling low end, gated drums and a twitching snare, accented by Reda’s trademark New Beat stabs.

At the halfway point Reda takes us down a more psychedelic path, but those stabs still stand their ground. Underpinned by a slap bass and soft, thudding drums, ‘Hunters’ is his soundtrack to your nocturnal quest, where you’re certain to meet howling wolves and unearthly figures along the way. ‘Tele Music’ continues on that same trance-inducing journey. It’s a deep subaquatic trip through amphibious sounds, haunting, whirring samples and plinking chords that suck you in and pull you under. 

‘I’m Not Your Friend’ rounds things off on a guttural note, literally. Reda cheekily samples a burp, which is used as a percussive guide alongside tinkling bells and tittering hats, while the track's title rings out over hopeful pads, a soaring metallic synth line and deep bass groove.

Reda Saiarh: “Comfort Zone is my space of creation, no words, only feelings and apprehensions. Each track explains a piece of my environment and experiences. I also focused on the impact of social media on today's relationship. I feel free to think, produce and share music. All combined, you get a part of myself which transmits deep interpretations. Welcome to my comfort zone, feel safe and enjoy!”

1. Keyboard Warriors  
2. Ego Slave

Following a stellar run of releases and contributions from the likes of N-GYNN, LVCA, Thoma Bulwer, Voigtmann, Dawl & Desert Sound Colony, the transcontinental Superlux imprint announce their 8th edition by way of Paul Blackford’s ‘Weekend Warrior’ EP.

There was a degree of serendipity in the genesis story of the ‘Weekend Warrior’ EP. When label head Mike Gill’s wife Ines posted a video of him playing a Blackford track from deep in the crates, it quickly found its way to Paul via happenstance and the way of the web. Upon Paul sharing his entire back catalog as a token of appreciation for the support, the conversation started moving towards a contribution to the label.

Following a trawl through Paul’s extensive library of electro WIPs both new & old, four were selected for a mixdown in Thoma Bulwer’s studio. The result is the ‘Weekend Warrior’ EP.

The release speaks to the talent and versatility of Paul Blackford as a producer. The EP employs elements of classic Detroit electro & Drexciyan soundscapes with facets of modern house fit for an afternoon at Houghton. A truly diverse release suited to many moods and record bags.

LA based producer and DJ Choopsie returns to blistering form with her dreamy new Reflections EP, her second instalment with UK tastemaker label Silver Bear Recordings.

The announcement arrives with brand new single ‘Reflections’ - a euphoric statement consisting of electro pads and blissful synths, which transcend into a joyous breakbeat infused groove. An atmospheric opener which certainly sets the tone for the rest of the EP.

The release marks a departure of the sounds Choopsie has become accustomed to. Inspired by a year away from her native LA and residing across Europe, the EP is a culmination of sounds absorbed along the way;

Berlin artist Katiusha kicks off her new label GRACE with ‘The Sellout’.

Over two tracks, the EP imagines sultry, meandering spaces for dancers to disappear in.

9-minute opener ‘The Sellout’ laces distorted bass pressure with slithering textures, vocals and shadowy synths. On the flip, ‘A Shark Called Nancy’ shakes up the oceanic depths with a more steamy groove and fidgety breaks.

GRACE is built for those moments where dancefloors melt into hazier spaces. After this first release, the label will pass the mic to other producers who wanna take you there!

Six months after the release of 'Waistline' from Alex Burkat, Prague-based imprint Moving Pictures prepare to release their fifth various artist compilation...Our pick is ‘The Days In The Jaar‘ from Quito-based producer Ópalo – a skewed dancehall oddity designed for terrestrial shufflers seeking interplanetary gateways, combining stretched-out kick-drums with ceremonial percussions, FX-drenched textures and superlunary soundscapes.

On Oath’s latest release, the imprint is beyond proud to bring renowned Canadian producer Jesse Bru into the fold, who brings with him a truly barnstorming collection of music that dips deep into the inbetween and brings forth a captivating audial experience like no other……

Jesse Bru remains one of modern dance music’s most intriguing technicians, both from a humanistic and machine driven perspective. His sound is born deeply from 90s sample based approaches, and this fascination has been stretched out and rewritten constantly throughout his releases to great effect. Bru primarily releases music under the guise of House, but to delve deep within his records is to see a much broader perspective, where many genres can be found within the grooves and rhythms. His melodic work, with a particular emphasis on vocal samples as part of melodic exchanges with pianos and synths, is inspiring to say the least, and as a core facet of his work always aims to shift his sound onwards and upwards. There aren’t many styles that aren’t touched upon within his discography, and his journey to date feels very much like an exercise in understanding the liminal spaces that persist between a myriad of genres. Bru always finds new ways to mesmerise, entice and unfurl within his music, joyous yet calculated and unraveling - a distinctly infectious sound that keeps listeners engaged from start to finish. With stellar releases on labels such as Slothboogie, Aterral, Oath’s sub-label Last Year at Marienbad, Blaq Numbers and Happiness Therapy, there’s plenty to delve into and get to know.
