Etapp Kyle - Astra

Pearson Sound returns to his Hessle Audio label with Which Way Is Up, a 4 track EP showcasing a range of textures and tempos with soundsystem pressure as the anchor. The 808-laced 'Hornet' kicks things off with a sound palette inspired as much by '80s Miami as '10s London. 'Twister' dials up the energy with a jagged lead and scattered breakbeats pulling in opposing directions, while the steppers pulse of 'Slingshot' evokes formative experiences at Subdub in Leeds. The EP is brought to a close with the blissed out title track 'Which Way Is Up', whose arpeggios dance around each other until they fizzle to breaking point.

Percussion mastermind Ploy (@deejayploy) arrives on Dekmantel with a double-pack of unbridled dancefloor heat that sees him reconnecting with his house roots.

Before he made a striking breakthrough as Ploy with wayward broken techno for Hessle Audio and Timedance, Samuel Smith's first releases as Samuel were leftfield house excursions. On this release for Dekmantel he wanted to reflect on a decade of releasing music and the many high-impact dancefloors he's shared with the label, from Selectors to De School, over the years.

The common denominator across these eight tracks is no-nonsense house, offering up grooves that will serve a DJ exactly what they want in the mix. At the same time, Ploy doesn't dilute the distinctive edge of his sound, from the abundance of perfectly balanced percussion to the nagging hooks of an off-key synth line dropped at just the right moment. Wry samples inject the mischievous humour he's always creeping into his craft. This is where dancefloor magic is nurtured, hitting the sweet spot between rock solid reliability and the wild card energy that brings a heads-down set to life.

From 'Admirer's big room peaks to 'It's Later Than You Think's cosmic incantations, this is the sound of Ploy showing exactly what it takes to make laser-focused club bombs without losing one iota of his inimitable style.

Grinder Smile, A Gasp, Eyes Rolling (Yetsuby Remix)

A force behind the decks and desk, Breaka has long been pushing the boundaries of UK club music, blending jungle, techno, and percussive madness into high-energy, bass-heavy workouts. Whether through his own productions or his mind-blowing DJ sets, he’s a certified dancefloor weapon and his last outing at The Cause was no exception. For Jay Carder’s Halloween curation in the Hot House last year, he brought the heat with a set so intense it could have summoned spirits. The bass was rattling the walls, the rhythms were so infectious it felt supernatural, and the energy in the room was off the charts.

Jichael Mackson - 'A Nice One'

Download/Stream>> https://fanlink.tv/Baz

Hypercolour boss Alex Jones presses on with his killer streak of releases for the label. On this new single ‘Baz’, Jones delivers another earworm of weighty, leftfield electronica. 

‘Baz’, a slice of breakneck UK techno, comes weighted with skittering drum patterns and a deep, penetrating bassline with distorted synthwork and crooked samples.

Josi Devil with Hermeneia - 10 June 2025

Pre-order: https://woozydublin.bandcamp.com/album/meltdown

@carreo debuts on @woozydublin with 'Meltdown', the label’s third instalment on wax. An exciting new iteration for the dubstep blueprint, three weighty and heady half steppers in the proudest one-forty tradition with a modern dub-club twist.

@dbridge_exitrecords restrings 'Meltdown' as a chromatic D&B roller, gliding taut within the original’s hook to the finest looping hoods-up, heads-down conclusion.

PÄR GRINDVIK
'WYATT ARP'

It’s been four years since my last own EP on Stockholm LTD.
The main reason for this is that I have been surrounded by music that has inspired
me much more than my own.

This EP was written and produced with strict narrow frames and a huge amount
of frustration. I was tired of waiting for the inspiration to kick in, then suddenly it
appeared with a strength that I haven’t felt for long time. I’m now curious for more.

While sketching the title track, ’Wyatt Arp’, I couldn’t get Detroit legend, Terrence
Dixon, out of my mind. Terrence is a long time hero of mine, and an artist that always
stays on the true side of what we do while most of us occasionally leave our paths.
I had to ask him to do a rework. / Pär Grindvik
