Frankfurt super-talent LUZ1E finally makes her vinyl debut on Lobster import label UGONGETIT. Huge stomping 90's house traxx from the raw. Life-affirming vocals, crunchy drums and speed jams on the flip. 

The A-side channels sweet soothing vocals over a clattering, percussive drum underlay, whilst the flip eschews the sweet-as-a-nut vox for hi tempos and crispy MPC hammer-time. Absolute fiyah straight from the heart of Frankfurt & proper hatchback bizz for hazy summer days.

In Luzie's own words...

"These tracks are really close to my heart. I created them during a difficult time and they really helped me to cope with stuff and grow
I wanna thank my parents and my brother who supported me in every way they could and without whom this thang wouldn’t have been possible. 
This release goes out to all them dancers, supporters and bad bitches who keep on hustling hard! 
Loads of love to the Lobster-Crew
I Wanna Thank U!"

'Ballaratian Electro'

LKR007 comes in hot from the Ballarat born now Berlin based producer Ouxh. 'Machines In Care' is a warm and unique EP touching on the emotional and introspective side of Ouxh's productions leaning on broken Electro and dusty IDM. 

'Machines In Care' features a rolling groove filled with unique percussion and field recordings of various machines layered in a Musique Concréte style. The similarly styled 'Birdman' continues on this tip with a slightly more hopeful feeling to it.

Finally 'Coma Void' quick in it's pace, flexes sharp electro with a catchy vocal and an ever evolving dub sound. Scattered bleeps and great drum programming carry this enormous dance floor destroyer.

US Born, Marseille based house producer and DJ, Grant returns to Lobster Theremin, with a 9 track album brimming with warm, melodic, deep house cuts. Fantasy Blues drops November 29th via Lobster Theremin. 

Opener, Ephemeral Chase signals a cosmic journey, driven with four to the floor motive.  Mind Space is spaced out, modern deep-house at it’s best. On the flip, Zarenzeit joins Grant on Amaranthine Profundity, while Finite Elements chugs into an ethereal, vocal cut. Blurred Harmony picks up the pace, note a welcome homage to London town. Previous collaborator, Dan Piu features on stripped-back roller, Boundless. Joining forces on Invisible Skills, Brooklyn based composer Emil Abramyan injects otherworldly influences to the album, followed by Melancholic wiggler, Lucent Eyes. The Road In Front Of Me rounds out the release on soulful, classic tip, with velvet vocals courtesy of Jenifa Mayanja. Blissful.

Coming into orbit late November PS001.2 continues our dancefloor focussed explorations...

On the A-side Point Guard returns to the label with his razor-sharp electro outing ‘Odyssey’. An emotional expedition that harnesses dancefloor euphoria with a powerfully burning bassline. Joining forces to complete the A side is Melbourne producer Disrute and label head Andy Garvey. Here an ever-evolving synthline propels you forward throughout the track that builds infinitely but pauses just to release Garvey’s mesmerising vocal, ‘NRG’.  

Flip the axis and you will find swirling synths and scattered percussion that creates the murky club weapon that is emerging Sydney producer PMA’s ‘Hek’. Completing the release, Roy Mills brings you to a full rotation with ‘Aquatic Pressure’. His jittery breakbeat cut that slows to a half step mid way and returns with odd-ball synth mayhem.  

Tracklist:
A1 - Point Guard - Odyssey
A2 - Andy Garvey x Disrute - NRG
B1 - PMA - Hek
B2 - Roy Mills - Aquatic Pressure

UK duo Local Group (aka Corporeal Face and LMajor) follow up their sold out ‘Laser Dome’ EP and appearance on ‘Secret Rave 4’ with a ‘Fresh Rhythms’ EP that may contain tracks up to three years old.

After last summer’s appearance at Field Maneuvers, the Oxford festival they’re residents at, one punter requested ‘Local Group for 36 hours straight’ in 2020. Negotiations are on-going. In the
meantime, this four-tracker provides almost 25 minutes of their ‘Field Maneuvers famous’ sound.

Traversing breakbeat styles and tempos, ‘Fresh Rhythms’ outlines the roving rave sound that has seen Local Group play alongside DJs from Eris Drew to Grooverider.

‘Baby Talk’ self-identifies as a ‘Hardcore Summer Anthem’. It’s got uplifting piano and a glissando, the classic switch up between light and dark, and a spine-tingling vocal that fitted like a silk glove. Why wear a silk glove in the studio? It helps EQ your snares, bro.


‘Fresh Rhythm’ is ‘avin’ it 150BPM hardcore acid breaks with a brief but cheeky donk mid-section. It’s the title track but is on A2. A mystery deeper than the cover of The Beatles ‘Abbey Road’ album.


‘Stolen Dreams’ continues the acid, but in breakbeat house form – in reverence to 1992’s ‘XL- Recordings: The Third Chapter - Breakbeat House’ compilation. Samples various favourite tracks about dreams, hence the title. Follow your dreams. They may be cheating on you.


‘Back In The Daze’ is late 90s D&B, a formative era for Local Group, channeled into 130 amen breaks and topped with the sort of soulful vocal loved by all-time hero Manix. As the saying goes, if you can remember the 90s you weren’t there. At a squat rave. On K.

Soy Piccolo is the firecracker debut EP from Sydney DJ/producer Unpin. Comprised of 6 high-energy dancefloor bombs, the EP traverses a broad range of sounds through acid-house electro and experimental club cuts. 

On this release, Unpin’s work is heavy on breaks and 303’s, balanced by a subtle pop sensibility with precision-picked vocal cuts tying the release together. All killer, no filler, the release is a gritty, yet confident body of work from one of Sydney’s most promising rising stars.

Out soon via Velodrome Records.

On this new EP on https://soundcloud.com/interceptrecords , https://soundcloud.com/french_ii explores a more emotive territory with opening track Time. The deep synth pad gives a warm contrast to the minimalistic beat and is floating organically throughout the 4-minute arrangement. Tracker completes the package and sounds more abstract. It’s a stripped-back track with expert beats, tribal percussion layers, coatings of sound fx, and a killer bassline. A strong, lush follow-up EP.

Leeds-based producer Dubrunner (@dubrunneruk) brings his debut release to Scuffed Recordings, with three new tracks firmly rooted in his soundsystem influences.

As a co-founder of Leeds’ notorious Stretchy Dance Supply parties and a staff member at Tribe Records, Dubrunner’s eclectic DJ sets reflect back into his productions, with house, breaks and electronic influences sitting alongside sounds from steppa dub and soundsystem culture.

The ‘Scorpio Season’ EP shows the spectrum of Dubrunner’s influences in full flow, with tracks ranging from the 140bpm stepper ‘Destination Unknown’, to the weighty breaks of the title track, to the wonky electronics and dubby chords of ‘Syntax Error’.

Sheffield breakbeat champions & Club Glow collective members Denham Audio make an appearance on Lobster Theremin with Transcendence.

Club Culture is a heady tribute to UK rave culture, combining classic breaks with a monologue from generations past. Denham Audio speed things up on Retort, fusing their love of breakbeats with a sound palette ubiquitous with acid house. On the flip, patois bars punctuate the bleeps-and-breaks of Run Da Ting, while the vocal layered between Top Boy’s whirling bass and digitally distorted drum programming may be recognisable to some. Closing track Transcendence is an ethereal jungle roller with guest vocals from 7ip7o3, that rings true to its name.

‘Transcendence’ drops Friday 12th March, via Lobster Theremin.
