Iggy Dope’s EtherwerkZ label continues its higher assembly of bass futurists with the third Ascension compilation. Volume 3 scours the globe to find Mulholland, Mercy System, Flaty, Oyubi ,Warzou, NirBorna, Young Muscle and noRecall in finest form, cross-examining variations on the theme of broken club rhythms and meticulous sound design.

Mulholland opens with the whirling psychedelic chug of Skab_t, gurgling wry with the faintest dembow touch. Manchester’s Mercy System goes deeper with Pressure Changes, cloaking a neatly sound designed redux of hardcore inclinations with a gentle bruk’d rhythm and light dub touch. Moscow’s Flaty goes proper wayward with Moth, a chromatic half stepper that wobbles weird into the furthest lucid interzones. Tokyo’s Oyubi swings a disassociated 2-step lurch on ALEXDUB, locked-in to its hypnotic core. Lyon’s Warzou bounces looser with Phantom Currency, a tight LFO’d jaunt of ghoulish dynamics. Tokyo calls again with NirBorna, Antenna Helix’s sleek broken beat building taut around skittering drums and atonal melodies. Detroit’s Young Muscle goes large with the industrial-sized breaks of Hard Rain Falling, an ever-evolving kinetic bass romp through the tough and pump. Seattle’s noRecall snarls quicker with 972024, a mutant half time future-shock of alien textures that typifies the feeling present throughout

Ascension Vol. 3’s duration; one of an upward trajectory in motion through experimental sound but certified sub-club feeling.

Fear Of Silence VA-1

Equal parts razor sharp and slime-covered, these four Cosmic workouts explore the intersections between Grime, Electro, Breakbeat and IDM. Guaranteed sound system wormholes with this one!

Pépe - It's Not a Bug, It's a Free Tour

Bandcamp: fastcastle.bandcamp.com/album/stable-units

Fast Castle kicks off 2025 with another five-track heater: Stable Units by Gent1e $oul! Across five tracks, Gent1e $oul hones his signature blend of bass-driven genres, adding more dancefloor-focused cuts to his ever-expanding sonic universe.

The opener, 4TC Boom, came together in a single restless session, crafted as a late-night special for the label’s most recent dance at Fitzroy. Its thick, drippy bassline—born from Digitakt overdrive manipulation—makes it the perfect stalactite cave anthem.

Next up, Paladin—named after the strongest horseback unit in Gentle $oul’s beloved AOE II—marks Gent1e $oul’s second collaboration with recent Femme Bass Mafia production graduate Rolex3k. This jersey-tinged, wubby roller was first road-tested by MSJY at Reef, where it proved its undeniable dancefloor potential.

Who doesn’t love that classic M1 grime flute? +390 pairs its signature "ring ring" sound with rolling UK techno drums, making for a no-brainer DJ tool.

On the flip, Steppe Lancer is a brooding, venomous mutation—headsy, progressive, and laced with heavy, evil energy. An FCHQ favorite and one for the heads!

Closing things out, Parthian Tactics dives deep with a late-night dubstep cut. Powerful enough to shake the subs, yet swaying in half-time for those introspective moments.

For the artwork, our graphic wizard Jonas went all out, creating a stunning detailed Bronze Age–inspired 3D equestrian design. Snag the full-cover printed vinyl via Bandcamp or at your favorite record store.
