Electro from the core. Analog to the bone.

This live set by Eoism, the Leipzig-Jena-based electro duo, was recorded under open skies at RADIO ELECTRONICA – SUMMER SESSIONS 2025. Known for their hardware-driven, no-compromise sound, Eoism blend raw energy with futuristic aesthetics and sci-fi grit.

For Zander Hay - better known as @theburrellconnection - music has always been as much about people as it is about sound. His new EP for @craigie-knowes, 'I Waste My Time So You Don’t Have To', arrives as the label marks its 10th anniversary, a milestone that means more to him than most. Not only has Zander released music with the Glasgow-born imprint, he’s also been quietly running their PR from behind the scenes since the early days, helping to tell their story to the world.

That dual role makes this release feel like a full-circle moment. The EP gathers together material shaped in the club, in the bedroom, and most importantly, in the company of friends. Lead cut “E Before I” has already been heard echoing through Berlin basements, including in a live version taken from Zander’s performance at Tresor, invited by LNS and DJ Sotofett. The B-side heads deeper, pairing the dubbed-out force of “Celestial” with the warm, widescreen pads of “Ensemble” - tracks that carry what he half-jokingly calls his “signature sound,” something he’s been chiselling away at for over a decade.

Zander speaks candidly about the title of the record, pointing to the endless hours spent in pursuit of something original. He’s unflinching in his criticism of DJs hiding IDs or passing off other people’s tracks as their own - a reminder that, for him, credit and community go hand in hand. “Music is not a luxury, it’s an essential,” he insists, and it’s clear that ethos drives not just his own practice, but also the way he moves through the scene.

That scene has taken him from Glasgow, where he cut his teeth at La Cheetah Club and soaked up records at Rubadub, to Berlin, where he now co-runs Slurp of the Antics with Valcat - a party deliberately centred on live performance in a city often saturated with DJ culture. Between the drizzle-soaked after-hours of Scotland and the intensity of Berlin’s underground, he has carved out a practice that feels both grounded and exploratory, rooted in place yet open to evolution.

At the heart of it all is Craigie Knowes. For Zander, the label’s story is bound up with his own - from being pushed creatively by deadlines and honest feedback, to finding genuine friendship with Max, Mitch and the wider CK family. “Friendship!” he says without hesitation when asked about the most rewarding part of his journey so far. That word runs like a thread through his reflections: from teenage trips to Sub Club on borrowed IDs, to afterhour residencies, to the countless connections made through music over the years.

As he sets up a new studio, offers tuition, and continues to develop his live shows, Zander isn’t slowing down. 'I Waste My Time So You Don’t Have To' is more than a title; it’s a snapshot of where he’s at right now - committed, outspoken, and still finding joy in the graft. For him, the story of Craigie Knowes at 10 isn’t just about a label’s legacy, but about the friendships that make the music possible.

Known for their excursions into scuzzy, cyberpunk and EBM electronics, they join forces once again for ‘Why The Tiger And The Monkey Are Sworn Enemies’; a three-track EP chronicles the pair’s ventures into chugging grooves, wormhole acid and early 00s tech house à la Playhouse and Rework.

After setting sail with “High Japan,” Rudolf Abramov return with “Spring” the next signal in the journey toward their upcoming LP.

Drums race along the rails of the Milky Way, percussion shaking dust from lost satellites, with the DX100 stretches a stubborn bassline, spiraling around the melody as it hops across a cosmic track, melting into the horizon.
An endless ride on a sweeping motor rhythm, while galaxies disintegrate in the rearview.

R$N Recs sub-label, Insult to Injury, are over the moon to welcome two heavyweight heroes of the underground scene, Messrs Antoni Maiovvi and Hyetal, under their new collaborative moniker, Votives. In an alchemy that blurs the boundaries between dystopian EBM, raw Electro and the UK’s lineage of bass driven dance music, their creative collision has crystallised into this banger of an EP.

Individually recognised as outsider innovators in their respective fields, the pair have converged to unleash a self titled record that stands as a testament to their shared reverence for vintage synths and drum machines, alongside futuristic digital sound design and experimental processing.

Working between London and New England, USA, the duo have bridged the physical gap, concocting a distinct sound that retains traces of the musical soil of Bristol, where they originally met, and merges retro-futurism with the cutting edge.

First single, Possessor, sets the scene - warm, cinematic analogue textures underpin the mechanical pummelling of the relentless rhythm section. Imagine Vangelis working on a Detroit assembly line in the 80s and you’re halfway to realising the joyous industrial glee of Votives.

Fruits is the second EP precursor, dropping in early September. More fabricated, atonal clangs and whooshes assault the senses, before the idiosyncratic thwack of the Votives kick thumps you over the noggin, demanding that you twist and contort your torso in-time. Electronic Body Music, indeed.

Lastly, EP focus track Plexor is a masterclass in tension. Emerging and slowly building from a ominous atmosphere, the boys layer instrument after instrument, constructing an understated mammoth of a track that is going to be a staple of many a dark, sweaty, late night dance floor.

Tracklist:

1. Nightside
2. Possessor
3. Fruits
4. Plexor
5. Bloxx
6. Countersun
