Releases

October "fast charger" -  underground music chart 2025

https://soundcloud.com/emma-jane-g's https://soundcloud.com/woozydublin label continues apace with WZY2.5; a new compilation highlighting eight artists from Ireland and afar that embody the imprint’s obsession with low-end futurism.

Featuring two production debuts, WZY2.5 acts as an exciting snapshot of the talented global community surrounding the label and its founder. Woozy explains itself as a label dedicated to dub-heavy sounds, which is also to be heard on this third label release. Here we manoeuvre ourselves through throbbing wubs, dramatic breaks, d&b rollers and halftime gems, each track playful and fun on its own.

On our premiere pick, Amsterdam’s https://soundcloud.com/jasminhoek?utm_source=clipboard&utm_medium=text&utm_campaign=social_sharing takes things on a more sinister route delivering the technoid punk chug of Grumpy Cat, while holding on to her characteristic rippling rhythms. 

WZY2.5 will be out on August 12th. Order a copy via Bandcamp:

Coming back with the same collaborative and intercultural spirit, the third release of Behua Icára is an EP - VA of reworks from the album “Non Axebo” by Withner FaGo, an activist and rapper from the Shipibo Konibo Xetebo community. Singing in his native language, FaGo narrates myths and legends, as well as stories of cultural and environmental resistance from his community in the central Peruvian Amazon.

Some of these stories emerge from the collective’s imagination and worldview of his community, such as “Chaikonibo,” which refers to enchanted men who protect the jungle; “Non Nete” - Our World - which describes the four indigenous worldviews of the community: Jakon Nete (The Upper World), Non Nete (The Earthly World), Pashin Nete (The Underworld), and Jene Nete (The Water World); and “Mai Yoshin” - Land of Demons - a generational tale from Pucallpa.

“Chaikonibo” has been reimagined by the polyrhythmic talent Crisa, who recreates the mystique of the story with an ensemble of organic Afro-Peruvian percussion. “Non Nete,” originally produced by Toma Kami for the label’s second compilation, now remixed by E-Unity, elevates the narrative, taking us to the rhythmic-astral plane with ascending syncopations. In the case of “Mai Yoshin,” by Argentine producer Mlee, it transports us to Pashin Nete (the underworld) with the calamitous possibilities of drum and bass.

Other stories tackle the daily struggle of the community against the threat of extractive and polluting industries. “Non Mai” - Our Land - a protest song against oil companies and deforestation, has been reinterpreted by Eomac, with a harsh and frantic percussive syntax, making it the perfect soundtrack for frontline defense.

“Koiramenon Ikanwe” - Let’s Take Care of Ourselves - denounces the threat of drug trafficking and the usurpation of the community’s agricultural land for illegal coca leaf cultivation. Produced by Reptile & Supersadfish, a duo from Guadalajara, deconstructs the protest into beautiful fractals between IDM and Jungle.

Finally, “Ea Ninkakanwe” - Listen to Me - narrates the experience of FaGo’s grandfather and his encounter with the depredation of his people’s habitat. Jasmín take, injects the perfect dose of 4/4 in a subversive measure.

SPE:C Remixed 2 [SPE:C 025 02] PREVIEW

Following their contribution to Superclasico Vol 2., @tomsobolikmusic officially joins the Clasico family in a major way!

Five new tracks from one of the US underground’s most exciting voices, Heavy Eyes finds Sobolik refining their sound while reconnecting with their roots. Written over eight months between June 2024 and February 2025, the record came out of a moment of recalibration. After a run of dense, chaotic releases, Sobolik stripped things back and turned their focus to groove and percussion, gravitating towards techno, tribal house and dubstep for inspiration – but never long enough for any one genre to define them.

The result is a set of tracks that balance dissonance and playfulness, with a renewed emotional core. “I wanted to hone things down,” they explain. “None of them are straightforward bangers, but they’re all playful, charged, and connected to the deep reverence for pop music that’s always driven me.”

Musically, the EP takes influence from Trekkie Trax, 85 Acid and Yaleesa Hall, late-‘00s dubstep pioneers like Appleblim and Peverelist, and the DJ worldbuilding of CCL, Gigsta, Objekt, and Kiernan Laveaux. But at its heart, it’s rooted in Sobolik’s most formative experiences in the North American underground, channeling the unbridled spirit of DIY raves like Montreal’s Layer05 and STM, Philadelphia’s Chrysalis and Concréte, New York’s Groovy Groovy and TOSSD, and of course Sobolik’s own Antidote nights. “This music is for those floors,” they say. “The places that captured my heart.”

As their seventh EP, Heavy Eyes feels like a sure step forward. “It comes from me DJing more, deepening my knowledge of how dance music works on the body and on a crowd,” Sobolik reflects. “I feel more confident now, put less pressure on myself – and I think the tracks are cleaner, more distilled.” That maturity doesn’t come at the expense of personality, though: this is still music full of texture, humour, and an air of “why the fuck not?”

The EP closes with a remix from Swedish innovator Peder Mannerfelt – ‘business (techno) in the front, party in the back’ personified and one of Sobolik’s earliest inspirations. “He’s been flying the flag for freaky, fun, bassy techno for years,” Sobolik says. “His tracks set my gold standard for dancefloor music – I did not expect he’d be so immediately down to remix my material, and I’m really humbled by his support.”

With Heavy Eyes, Sobolik delivers their sharpest and most focused work yet: club tracks that are fierce and frenetic, but also deeply earnest.

Perc Loop Princess is the second single on the EP, before Heavy Eyes drops in full on October 2.

Sobolik – Perc Loop Princess

Label boss Dubrunner steps into the ring to close the EP. His remix of Onstera strips the original down to a raw, incisive workout — razor-sharp drums, heavy on the bass. Built for a sound system dystopia.

Slimy Ape - Onstera (Dubrunner Remix)

'Bite The Hand That Feeds You' is the debut EP from Amsterdam-based DJ and producer Jasmín. Blending genres, moods, and eras, it draws on her Dutch-Argentinian roots while channeling the nostalgia of teenage discovery: "that formative era of girlhood where you're growing up online and building your world digitally." Across three tracks, Jasmín explores the tension between this lasting inner world and the harsher realities outside, weaving techno, bass, and dub into percussion-driven music defined by both force and introspection.

Two tracks feature London-born, Lisbon-based artist Older Brother, whose vocals move between meditation and proclamation. 'Overdriven' was built on Jasmín's original instrumental, while 'The Ride' emerged from reworking a fragment of its vocal. Together, they highlight her ability to transform personal dialogue into public expression – music that invites both reflection and release, as much to ponder as it is to dance to.
