Sweat it Out Hard Groove & Other Techno

Amsterdam-based duo North Not South land on Flippen Bits with the ‘Shifting Dunes’ EP, out July 10.  A refined and emotionally resonant debut, the EP highlights the duo’s knack for blending mysterious atmospheres, euphoric builds, and meticulous sound design.

Across its four original tracks, ‘Shifting Dunes’ explores a vivid sonic landscape where uncanny vocal snippets float over polyrhythms, four-to-the-floor kicks intertwine with breakbeats, and ambient pads swell into thundering basslines. The result is a record that radiates creativity—perfectly straddling the line between club utility and immersive listening.

Topping it off, Kendu Bari flips the introspective Whales Whisper into a club-ready beast, further cementing his status as one of the Netherlands’ most exciting producer prodigies.
