PREMIERE : DJ Deep Heat - Feel

Belgian label brokeboi records returns with a fresh new release from emerging artist samee, a project rooted in club culture but unafraid to wander across borders.
His 4-track EP, landing April 25, dives headfirst into a hybrid soundworld of breaks, bass, and globally inspired rhythm.  

Having quietly evolved from previous work, samee steps into their own lane here. Driven by movement, the EP is playful, physical, and deeply textured.
Tracks like "piki piki" and "bamako" draw inspiration from African musical traditions, blending deep hitting vocals with rolling low-end pressure and bright, off-grid percussion. It’s club music with a wide lens.

Across the four cuts, samee balances the raw energy of the dancefloor with a detail-oriented production style that rewards repeat listens.
The result is a project that feels just as at home in peak-time sets as it does on home speakers, an intentional duality.

Weirdies Records is proud to welcome rougail space program in the team with his first official release, like ECLT before him. This marks the second occurence in the label freshly created by Parisian boy Jon Beige already heard on labels such as Global Warming Records or R.W.A., also a Rinse France resident for a few months. The global recipe remains the same : singular music, risky and full of attitude, accompanied by a mystical visual universe signed by Louis Ziéglé.

Maxime quickly made a name for himself in Paris those last few years, via addictive edits to get started, that quickly became « SoundCloud hits ». That’s how his moniker appeared on tracklists from French techno brightest stars like Anetha, François X, Bambounou or Elise Massoni without ever having released music in an formal way. In the center of a whirlwind mixing various influences, he developed his ear from La Station bass nights to his friends GЯEG’s Rex Club residence. He became a regular in La Créole’s crowd, one of Paris’ hottest parties, and then behind the decks. In march, like an apotheosis, he literally mystified the current best club in town essaim, with an already legendary set, opening for Rroxymore and DJ Plead.

After having released some well-chosen tracks on compilations, like Jerry Horny, it was about time to sail by his own, keeping his energetic and clubby production skills without sticking to it too much. He wanted to compose something that will look like a small album where each track would have its own influences and singularity. Like a dish that mixes sweetness, bitterness, acidity, vivacity, but mostly taste, those five tracks feed off each other perfectly in changing balances. First tracks’ melancholy and depth bring an introspective, almost romantic note to the next ones, bursting with energy.

Boarding Area opens with a soft waterfall of marine notes, an organic ode to liminal spaces specific to the seabed, and continues with Late Nite Gaze, a Beatles techno getaway, that is reminiscent of Barker or Basic Channel’s work. The ground is prepared for 417 Tool, futuristic energy monolith with funny spices, a post-covid demo from Maxime enhanced Pimp My Ride’s way by Jon Beige’s sharp tools. Speaking about car tunning, Tamarin Sex, EP’s first single with bubbling and jersey influences, pays an in-your-face tribute to the « car bass » culture from his native Reunion Island. Shepherd’s Bush wrap it all up transposing those vibes threw the prism of his Parisian rides best memories.

@guavanoise returns to @fauxpoly with his latest EP, 'All Out', shifting gears into a faster, techno-focused territory with his signature oscillating dub techno atmospherics.

Vancouver/Paris -based imprint Club Designs is back with its biggest compilation to date.

CDMUSIC012, the latest in the label's ongoing series of electro inspired VAs, boasts an eclectic mix of producers from across the globe, paying their respect to the classic Detroit genre.

The compilation features music from Vancouver heroes Greazus, French DMC champion Saligo, Berlin’s Insomniast, and label alumni Shanx, alongside label co-founders Sharkki, who teams up with hot French producer Body Hook, and Garneau who brings a deeper cut to the pack.

Tokyo newcomer Kanse keeps it old school, while Aleister and Minor Sine Project bring the modern productions into play. Sonically, the release traverses the full scope of the imprint's sound, with streamlined percussive club tracks, bass-heavy workouts, and leftfield electro explorations that nod to both UK club culture and North America's undergrounds.

Club Designs has been steadily building a reputation as a stronghold of gritty and raw dance music, and CDMUSIC012 sounds like both a rallying cry and a celebration of the collective energy that powers the label.

PREMIERE: Aleister - Tongue Tied

Pineapple Records welcomes one of the most exciting voices to emerge from the European underground with Ganzo - a bouncing 5-tracker from HLRTY, aka Francesco Cigna. Out the 9th May, Ganzo is a love letter to the club - raw, rhythm-focused, and precision-built for sweaty basements and late night missions.

 

A rising force on the European circuit, HLRTY has already appeared on lineups alongside Ehua, Main Phase, and recently went B2B with the Was A Be for their explosive set at Bunker (Turin) as part of Outlook Festival’s 2025 club tour. He made waves with his Rinse FM guest mix for Pineapple, and has gained tastemaker support from the likes of Piezo, Hassan Abou Alam, and Coido. His 2022 4-track EP RUDE earned critical acclaim across the Milan scene, further cementing his rep as one to watch.

 

Originally from Palermo, Sicily but now based in Bologna, HLRTY represents the next-gen energy surging through Italy’s club underground. As co-founder of the asterisco collective, he’s spent the last few years building a name for himself with high-octane sets and genre-fluid productions that channel UK club sensibilities through an unmistakably Italian lens. Think distorted electro, booming Jersey percussion, rolling breakbeats, footwork workouts and razor-edged UK bass.

 

A chance backstage meeting in Bologna between HLRTY and Pineapple boss Sam Binga led to an impromptu demo swap - and Ganzo was born. These tracks have been a mainstay in Sam’s sets ever since, now ready to tear up dancefloors worldwide.

 

From the kinetic drum flex of the opener to twitchy basslines and speaker-shaking bounce, Ganzo is uncompromising club gear with heart. Built for movement, shaped by years behind the decks, and grounded in a deep understanding of what drives a dancefloor.

 

HLRTY shares:


“This EP came together after a spontaneous chat with Sam Binga in Bologna. It’s raw and unfiltered - made for the club, by someone who lives for the club. There’s no overthinking, just instinct, energy and a search for the right sound. Ganzo means something cool, clever, on point, and that’s the energy I hope people feel in these tracks.”

 

With releases on Burro Studio, asterisco, and now Pineapple, HLRTY continues to carve a path that’s distinctly his own. Ganzo is sweaty, sub-heavy, and bursting with rhythm - an underground record from a producer who knows exactly what makes a crowd move.

 

More on Pineapple Records:

Since their first release in 2019, Bristolian label Pineapple Records, founded by DJ/producer Sam Binga, continues to push the needle with their genre-blurring approach to future-facing electronic music. Carving their own distinctive sonic fingerprint whilst honouring dance music’s rich cultural history, Pineapple Records has fostered a devout following via their tight-knit community of emerging artists from the creme of global grassroots scenes

 

With a keen eye for the cutting edge, the label boasts releases from some of the best and most interesting underground artists to do it, including Bianca Oblivion, Bakey, Nikki Nair and Fixate to name a few. With a host of accolades under its belt not least a longlist for Grammy nomination for Bianca Oblivion, Sam Binga and Fox’s Sweatboxx Party EP, a monthly label show on Rinse's SWU.FM channel, and a stage takeover and boat party at this years Outlook Origins in Croatia, ‘fresh, weird and strictly fire on the dance floor’  life just continues to get juicer and more delicious for the Pineapple universe. 

 

Pineapple continues to be a crucial platform for left-of-centre club music with global reach, and with Ganzo, they’ve got another stone-cold essential on their hands.
