Bad Zu was created three years ago and remained a well kept secret of Moscow underground until it got signed to Berlin's finest Through My Speakers label. Soon after Bad Zu played more shows in Berlin than in Russia for a while, but eventually Moscow rave crowds started to fall in love with the fusion of African traditional music and grime and the band played huge shows for thousands of party and festival people before they were even present on the social media. More releases followed via Through My Speakers and #internetghetto.

"Zupreme" is the first full length album by Bad Zu. It elaborates and develops the extravert "Ritual Rave", where the audience and their state of consciousness are always in the focus, rather than the creator of the music and his thoughts. 10 tracks for dancing and sex, infused and mixed with our reality: from fake brands and darknet, to being beaten up for the wrong look in the club.

Listen to "Plamya Ognya (DR69 Remix)" by Lay-Far Feat. Kotzi Brown  taken from “True, Necessary, Kind Remixes”  out on 31st May via STVOL in collaboration with In-Beat-Ween Music

Pre-save: https://band.link/TNKR

1 year after releasing his 5th long-play “True, Necessary, Kind” Alexander Lay-Far prepared a conceptual follow-up - a compilation of remixes and reinterpretations from young underground heroes, new exciting talents as well as some well-seasoned producers.

Pursuing the original album’s philosophy, in the autumn of 2023 Lay-Far announced an open remix competition to share the inspiration spark, ignite the intercultural dialogue and officially release the top 3 reworks as a result. 
However it didn’t go according to the plan! Submissions poured in from Germany, Spain, The UK, USA, Russia, Ireland, Indonesia, South Africa, etc., exceeding the expectations of quantity and most importantly quality! After taking quite some time to review all the remixes - the best of the best were selected.

And there you have it - a vivid yet comprehensive compilation of 15 high-quality remixes by the likes of Ant To Be, Super JV, Marco Lazovic, Bleep, Hermanito, Anderdog, Fluchtlink, Jetelmen, etc., ranging from Street Soul to Jungle, Deep and Afro House, UK Bass, Techno, Intelligent D’N’B, Breakbeat and Electro. 
Please enjoy these sincere works manifesting real creativity, soulfulness and depth, produced by the truth-seeking souls at the cross-roads of existing cultures and scenes.

Listen to "paragon of virtue" by jjjacob taken from CLM x GUN "Blown by the Wind" out on 5th June via Club Late Music

Bandcamp: https://clublatemusic.bandcamp.com/album/blown-by-the-wind

Blown by the Wind ,¸¸,.•.¸  ¸   .-  initiated by artist and GUN member Pénélope ! 

////
Blown by the Wind is a project that highlights the voices of the Global URL Nation community, and the textures that can be created from them. The voices mingle and intertwine until a soundscape shimmering compilation is woven.

-'  `-'  `-'  `
It was a project in two phases. The first one consisted in the creation of a common pack of vocal samples - anyone from the GUN community could contribute with what they already had, or could create something specifically for the project. 
–
´¯`·- It welcomed 116111 , Amselysen, Bademjan, Epiphagi, Eurrope, Griigg, Jeune Faune, jjjacob, MYEN, Pénélope, RougeHotel, & SNKLS for around 50 voice samples.


-'  `-'  `-'  `
In the second phase, artists from GUN could propose a track using this sample pack. The idea was to consider voices as key instruments, with the possibility of shaping, distorting and transforming them at will to create new textures. 
´¯`·- Amselysen, Bademjan, Clair X, Epiphagi, Eurrope, MYEN, jjjacob, Orqualyzer, RougeHotel, & Ziyiz contributed to this phase with 10 tracks. 

-'  `-'  `-'  `
10 whispers that rise from the depth of the soul, blown away across the lands into the most welcoming ears - for a burst of comfort, contemplation or excitement.

Listen to "AP2M7" by Nuboid taken from "Imago" LP out on OFF-SWITCH AUDIO

Bandcamp: https://offswitchaudio.bandcamp.com/album/imago-lp

Several years on from his debut album Nomad and after a series of sound-evolving self-releases, Off-Switch Audio are excited to announce the second full-length album from Nuboid. Spanning across a range of genres and tempos Imago LP brilliantly showcases a fully refined style from the UK based producer; a final metamorphosis of the Nuboid sound.
It Comes In Waves atmospherically sets the tone for the LP, introducing crisply saturated tape sonics and harmonically rich retro synths. Pads modulate into a crashing crescendo, teasing ripples of delayed breakbeats above a rumble of cinematic low frequencies and an ethereal accumulation of reverberation FX. This building bed of ambience perfectly makes space for the impactfully percussive beats of AP2M7. With dark moving melodies, sizzling smooth cymbals and subtle hits of bass synth filth, AP2M7 is an absolute weapon for any DJ’s dancefloor artillery.
Oppose The Force then switches things up with authentically old-school rave aesthetics; pitch shifting vox-chops and a slow steady breakbeat work-out to keep the energy moving at pace. In a similar fashion, OGs draws for the acid bass and the drum machine, chopping hardcore vocal slices among punchy and precise electronic percussion hits, all glued together with a tasteful serving of analogue crunch.
Next up, is the distorted four to the floor madness that is Celsius. This is a proper gritty techno stomper; guaranteed heavy hitting material heated up to the maximum degree.
After the eerie interlude of Black Dog, Ode2TS follows up with a dark and rhythmic roller driven by modular style bass pulsations. .5Sleep then returns to the realms of crunchy lo-fi house; a truly emotive musical exploration that, in true album style, morphs fittingly into an interlude...
After introducing the sound palette with epilogue(questionmark), everything evolves into pure jungle rave euphoria with Could It Be. Perfectly chopped and mangled breaks in an elegant and restrained manner, paired with hard hitting 808 subs and that certified soulful vox/pad/piano combo.
Repercussions then reduces the tempo an increment, drawing Imago LP to a close with reflective and chilled out early morning vibes. Skippy four to the floor beats carry playful samples and melodies with one final sprinkling of saturation and cassette-tape character. A great example of Nuboid’s minimal yet strongly stylistic approach showcased throughout the album.
With a beat-tape-like structure akin to his previous work, Imago LP takes a much more varied approach, combining flavours of acid, techno, house and jungle to create a very well rounded and listenable album project. A coherent flow of club bangers and zone out head nodders throughout.

Bandcamp: https://fuselab.bandcamp.com/album/--8

The magnum opus of Krasnodar-based producer and Fuselab founder Evgeny Shchukin aka FMSAO delves deeper into his sonic world through psychedelic dub, off-kilter dance music, and his signature lo-fi ambient pieces on the gargantuan two-hour album ‘Ультимэ (Ultimae)’. 

In addition to his hyperpop project WOLS, as well as Cossack folklore low-end reinterpretations for Aisha Devi’s Danse Noire on Narcissi duo, Evgeny Shchukin has cut his teeth on ambient and drone fields for three releases under his FMSAO moniker. The curator of Fuselab and passionate collaborator Shchukin invited the label family to breathe a new life into his unique sound and cross-pollinate the sonic map of the community in multiple directions. The most intricate, complex, and trailblazing FMSAO work to date, ‘Ultimae’ is expressing his truest form and pushes boundaries in beguiling ways. Welcome to FMSAO's next musical chapter: Ultimae.

Listen to "Reminiscing Of Raves I Never Went To" by Daysailer taken from "Minimum Blues" out on 14th June via xenonyms

Bandcamp: https://xenonyms.bandcamp.com

A few words from the artist:

"This album was crafted around the concept of attempting to reconcile all of my musical inspirations into one album while still remaining cohesive. The result is my favorite album I’ve made. Mostly everything was done in intervals between work—picking up and leaving off at inconvenient times—but I think this made me approach each track slightly differently each time I’d sit down to write. This is an album full of references, big and small, to the music I love and the sounds I love to hear."

SUICIDAL​-​IDOL - ecstacy (HOWE remix)

Softmatter is a Berlin-based multidisciplinary artist, music producer, vocalist, and DJ exploring mutant, discordant electronics, alongside bouncing, stony drums and pitch-shifted vocals that travel between steepled choral motifs. She has released on renowned labels such as Halocline Trance, Infinite Machine and Berlin-based Soulfeeder. 


Her mix is ​​both a dark and melancholic approach to the thoughtful moments on the dance floor, situating the listener somewhere between dark ambient, industrial and the hazy afterglow of the vaporwave era, while at the same time giving us a glimpse into her hyper-futuristic vision of club music, enriched with elements of deconstructed club, post club and neo-trance.
