once twice - 28.01.2025 - foundation.fm

Drawing a line under his Pulse series, Pev brings a fifth and final dose of positivity to the dance with a distinctly techno-oriented focus and space for the odd curveball. 

Strident opener 'Pulse XVII" bookends a lean, subtly stepped mid-section workout with pearlescent synth strings and chord stabs patched in for maximum Motor City uplift. 'Pulse XVIII' operates within a taut house framework, stirring up a forthright jack track with the sparsest of ingredients drawn from the palette of bassweight 4/4 that has run throughout the Pulse series. The tempo noticeably nudges up on 'Pulse XIX' — a nagging dub techno variation where the genre's usual blown-out dreaminess is replaced with snappy urgency. That leaves it to 'Pulse XX' to close the series out with a sharp left turn towards light-footed leftfield steppers gear with alien hooks — an approach that harks back to earlier Pev output, but given a fresh lick with the bright-eyed production that has informed his latest phase of studio exploration.

Peverelist - Pulse XIX

Syz launches his new label Vitalizm with VTLZM001, a 4 track sure-shot from its founder of wily club rhythms mutated anew through adventurous construction and intuitive dancefloor nous.

Club rhythms for the soul; a nourishing manifesto for the rave, and for Syz a vital spark through which energy and groove emanate. A prolific producer with a beloved back catalogue, he is no stranger to the sounds that embody the propulsive nature of UK club rhythms. Vitzalizm though is a new venture, his inaugural label founded on the promise of showcasing new and varied developments along the Syz sonic journey. It’s a wide-ranging ethos informed via a complex web of influences that continue to make afresh of club music, while also paying homage to the culture of yesteryears with small vinyl runs and limited lathe-cut dubplate specials.

On VTLZM001, the label’s inaugural release, its founder gets right to it. Down & Twist steps first with an all-round sexy affair, a 2 step mover that swivels deftly on its latin inclinations while updating the early 00’s garage template with fwd> attitude. Next, Bakayadaskunka writhes as a complex beast, busy through the broken beat while its tactile low end purrs and throbs within. Fidget goes faster, a tribal wonderland that pumps giddy yet nimble across its myriad of basslines. The Lizm sees us off, a supple percussive playground which swings playful and loose amongst a livewire of subs, weightless pads and a faint dub echo.

A succinct dancefloor statement of intent from Syz, and an exhilarating beginning for Vitalizm.

Impérieux debuts on Hessle Audio with the Fena EP, an immersive collection of 4 tracks defined by his unpredictable and varied sonic palette. Drawing on a heritage that threads through Turkey, Greece and his home city of Kırcaali in Bulgaria, Alper Durmush channels a turbulent year in which six months of creative stillness ignited unexpectedly into an explosive burst of musical ideas.

"Fena is a word my Mum used to call me as a kid" recounts Durmush on the title track. "The name comes from Turkish, but with a Balkan twist, it means a mischievous rascal - wild, unpredictable, a bit too much at times". This restless energy is perfectly captured with jittering interferance and snarling sawtooth synths bursting through the mix, threatening to overwhelm the speakers and sending sound engineers running for cover. 'Sickomode' encapsulates the push-pull emotional sensibility of the EP, with confidence and meloncholy rotating, shifting, and giving way to each other.

'Saat' is an attempt to recreate a track based solely on a surreal description, relayed by a veteran of the rave scene in his home town - "This guy told me about a festival in the woods back in the early 2000s, where someone played a track with dogs barking in the break - the volume rising constantly." The initial dissonance of its detuned lead releases into a euphoric rush of melody, a combination which is becoming something of a producer trademark. The EP closes with the quiet, unwavering warmth of 'Cawuso', a nickname for a person that the artist met last year. "This very special person showered me with kindness and purity. It almost felt unreal, so I decided to dedicate this track to them."

Artist: Colm K

Title: A Red Line In A Blue Sky
Label: Soul Quest Records

Format: Digital & Streaming

Release Date: 19th September 2025

For the imprint’s latest, moodmaker Colm K is at the helm as he serves up three deep-set sonic explorations that channel the evocative embers and haze of the dancefloor and the imagination beyond, alongside a pulsating remix piece by Soul Quest family member SIxm Sol…..

Cork-based producer Colm K’s sound is one established on sensory exploration, with an emphasis on the symbiosis between groove and melody and its unending range of possibilities. His music has dabbled in a diverse array of styles, from sultry Hip-Hop instrumentals through to expressive breakbeat and sunny-side up house, and all the goodness inbetween. His music demonstrates an innate sense of presence, balancing out hyper-expressive rhythms with profound emotive blends that channel euphoria to create self-contained experiences that place joy in the heart.

There is a distinctive experience found within ‘A Red Line in a Blue Sky’, and that is one of letting the mind and body go between the instrumental slipstreams. A distinctive and graceful deep house excursion, the pulse is firmly established within the opening phrases of the title track. A pulsating chord rings out across the centre of the track, as the cavernous drumming pattern sets the tone underneath. Deft touches permeate across the top ends, characterised by simmering, almost floating textures and delicate motifs, all of which feel out the space with purpose. ‘One Eye’ complements the title track in that the melody meanders more, but jets off into similar waters. The atmosphere is breezy and uplifting, the rays of light spreading out across the stanzas as the vivacious chords and powerful rhythm section do much to shift the feeling up a gear.

SIxm Sol’s take on the title track fits the record like a glove. Shifts are made to the original’s formidable pulse, its presence set back ever so slightly, which gives space to the vocal samples and up-top rhythmic touches. It’s a wondrous take, emulating the spirit of the original whilst adding inventive and creative pieces in all the right places. The EP is seen out by ‘Unity’, which in many ways speaks to the record’s in-between spaces. A series of dubby melodic sequences interlace effortlessly with the rhythm section, which, along with a sample-laden backdrop, helps to construct the final take from this profound piece of house music.
