Endless Vision is a collaboration between the founders of Foresight Records, Kyra Khaldi and Mixolydian. This two-track EP was created during a writerscamp at the infamous Broedplaats in the basement of Volkshotel, in early 2023. During this week they had the opportunity to make use of several people’s studios and the instruments within it to craft the distinct sound palette of this EP.

The dreamy and mysterious sound design paired with the energetic and impactful rhythms forms a compelling listening experience suited for both the club and at home. Both tracks seamlessly flow into each other, forming a loop that invites an infinite listening experience.

Enjoy!

PREMIERE : Kyra Khaldi & Mixolydian - Digital Embracement

Wandering through the underpass he wondered if he might ever feel that way again. He could recall the fog in the air, the Friday night feeling as he headed off out to meet friends and strangers who'd soon become friends. Those were special times, simpler times.

What he would give for that original 90's spirit, that original 90's moment, that original 90's freedom. If only he could go back one more time...

He was brought back to earth by the roar of a train overhead, as sirens echoed in the distance.

The 90's are reborn with the release of a new EP. Fast paced Drum 'n' Bass is paired with nostalgic samples and frenetic euphoric energy which makes this three tracker a hell of a ride.

PREMIERE: Ale San - Original 90's [Blankhaus]

DJ, producer, promoter, composer, and cultural agitator Man Power makes his debut on Radio Slave’s Rekids with ‘We Trawl The Hurts’ featuring Louisahhh on 12th April. The first fruits of a long-term friendship see Man Power (Me Me Me/Throne of Blood/Optimo) serving up a stomping, big-room cut that tips its hat to late-90s NY house and serves as a bed for the inimitable Louisahhh’s (RAAR) breathy vocal delivery of classic Prefab Sprout lyrics.

“I realised that I never set out to make a "Banger", so I started sharing daily WIPs on Twitter/X of me attempting to do so, with notes on why I'd made certain decisions or changed certain things. The results were a shock and it felt like I'd managed to do what I set out to do, but I felt it needed an additional element. I've wanted to do something with Louisahhh for forever and the idea of asking her to cover that as a vocal element just arrived in my head fully formed. It's one of the few occasions making music where I've had an idea and the execution has turned out exactly as it was in my head when I first thought of it” - Man Power

An intimate, spoken-word vocal from Louisahh weaves through a world of vibrant pads and chords. The gorgeous lyricism of their ‘We Trawl The Hurts’ is underpinned by an uplifting and emotive swirl of melody and a rock-steady beat. Man Power’s love of Murk and Tenaglia shines through.

The evergreen Deetron delivers three versions of ‘We Trawl The Hurt’s ft Louisahhh’: a remix that flips the original into a thumping deep techno cut featuring loopy synths and pixelated leads, a stripped-back and powerful dub, and his DJ tool ‘drum and bass’, built for those who like to mix.

The car accelerated quickly forward as it moved between gears. On either side he could see faces flashing by as the pace grew faster and faster. It was dark in the distance, soon the crowds would cease and he would be left with only the other racers for company.

He could hear the engine roaring beneath him, it was strained and mighty.

Smoke billowed from exhausts, then it all went dark as they hit the end of the tunnel and returned to the night.

Guava holds no punches with a new EP for Faux Poly, this one is a bass focussed affair with rising synths, frenetic energy and a sense of immeasurable tension. This will do damage in the clubs. Be warned.

PREMIERE: SKORH - Jungle (Iron Curtis Maximal RMX) [MODEM:39]

Łukasz Seliga needs little introduction to anyone even roughly following Poland’s dance and electronic underground, as his contributions – as a live performer, producer, remixer or DJ –embellished the better part of its story. 

Between his solo endeavours under the slg moniker, and projects such as Casio pepe or Seltron 400, he has long traversed genres and sounds, aptly and joyfully, always staying true to his distinct musical vision rather than being prompted by periodic shifts of fancy.

On Sideways, his newest EP outing for Trance-Atlantyk, Łukasz appears under his own name – Seliga – for the first time, thus restating his identity and underlining the honesty of his craft.   

In a time when dance music tends to be driven increasingly by nostalgia, Seliga takes but a sip, ultimately eschewing it. As a result, the music we hear is more of a direct expression of his own abiding purpose – a lived, rather than re-lived experience, an auditory utopia, sung in a language the artist is deeply anchored in, but whose expressive qualities he seeks to enhance, and not simply exploit.
