Amazing support for this - to imagine I was walking around listening to this on dark nights during lockdowns over a year ago, and now it's out there in the world, it's a good feeling.

"Slow Burn" kick-starts the experience, slighlty more raw and unpolished than what we previously expected under his other guise. Featuring a thick soundscape that morphs throughout. The track is peppered with raw edges and broken rhythms, but these elements serve less as jarring interruptions and more as detours on a complex, layered journey. This is Slow Assembly pushing beyond the boundaries of the familiar.

On the flip, "Sunrise Acid" ascends into a more acidic territory, whilst keeping the rough atmospheric, breakbeat-infused landscape. It's a track that, despite its name, refuses to be boxed into the confines of a certain type of set. Its acid threads through the track, grounding the breakbeats and offering a tangible connection to its roots.

Time & Space 096 - JR Hartley

Welcome to part 7 of the FMB DIsccord mix series. For this episode, we have Discotechnological gracing the decks: 

Hello everyone, I’m Nathan and I go by discotechnological online. By day, I’m a UX/UI designer based near London and I am happiest when I’m making things, whether that’s websites or apps, photography and design, Lego models, building things around my house, and more recently, music - which I release as Singer and the Instruments. 

Like many people I’m sure, I first got into Bicep around the time Glue came out and after picking up the debut album I was hooked and went digging through their back catalogue to find all those other gems. After that I watched a couple of the shows on YouTube and then the 6Music festival during lockdown when Isles came out, but it was the Glasto ’22 set that convinced me that I had get out and see them for real, so I got tickets for Ally Pally and loved every second of it. It was the best gig I’ve ever been to - until Chroma in the Park last year.

For my mix I wanted to showcase some of the great artists and tunes recommended by the community - and some made by them too - alongside some of my fave classics going back as far as the 90’s (yes, I’m that old!). I’m glad I was allowed to include my PULSAR remix as it was such an treat to be able to work with the amazing stems provided for the competition, but more importantly I felt that it was such a fantastic experience sharing our work with each other - getting incredible and valuable feedback and tips from the talented people in the Bicep discord community.  The mix itself is a bit different from previous entries in the series as I’m more of a blender. I like finding those intros and outros that work well with each other and just letting them roll. It takes in some techno, some breaks, a bit of house and trance, plus a surprising amount of acid, culminating in a visit to the chill out room (do they even exist any more?) and a sneaky discord-exclusive from the lads.

Hope you all enjoy it and maybe discover something nice that you’ve never heard before.

FMB DISCORD MIXTAPE 007 | Discotechnological

Circuit Grooves proudly unveils a sumptuous two-tracker from the enigmatic Glasgow-based producer The Shen, titled Another Reason, set to drop soon on July 25, 2025. Known for their nuanced blend of vintage House authenticity and more punchy contemporary productions. The Shen crafts sonic journeys inspired deeply by the emotive rhythms and soulful textures of seminal ‘90s imprints such as Nu Groove and Dance Mania, fused seamlessly with the dynamic reminiscent of labels like Chiwax.
"Another Reason," the lead track, encapsulates deep house sensibilities elevated by intricate acid and luminous progression, exuding a weird and wonderful vibe. The flipside, "Orange Sunset," is equally captivating, showcasing The Shen's adeptness at merging lush, melodic arrangements with brass and dancefloor-ready grooves. Both tracks exude a buoyancy and rhythmic fluidity that feel distinctly suited to balmy summer evenings, distinctively stepping away from the harder-influenced tonal explorations. This whole record is one for the heads - a position Circuit Grooves is all about.
Having emerged from Red Rack'em's influential production community, How I Program, The Shen continues to demonstrate mastery in balancing nostalgic reverence with forward-thinking ideas. With several acclaimed releases already available via Shen Music, this latest offering on Circuit Grooves further amplifies The Shen's reputation as a thoroughly modern artist deftly navigating the intersections of the timeless and the fresh.
