Andy Caz - Upon Ourselves

The machine held no prisoners. It was electric and abuzz.

In the dark room a noise began to throb and echo, it were as if it were trying to escape from the prism within which it was trapped. It wanted to billow and bloom beyond the enclosure and let loose.

This was the power of the machine.

A cruel carbon beast, which left little the imagination as it roared and screamed.

To some the machine was beautiful, a force which kept the world abound. To others it was a menace.

German producer Borghese steps up with an EP on Squid Recordings. A tech fuelled powerhouse of a record with purpose and drive.

PREMIERE: Borghese - Cruel Carbo [Squid Recordings]

@peshkamusic - Your Behind [Secret Feta]
Track from Ukrainian Peshka on the first ever (!) vinyl only release of @secret_feta_records - 4 tracks EP «Cheese Tricks Vol 1 // Honey & Cheese Combo» curated by @mr-sela. From the name it is clear that people know about life and know how to please avid hedonists! Theres another Ukrainian - @vquv witch you may know from Noneside 12" :) Syntelman and Multivers on the record as well. Don't mess with GOATS!

The idea was created in Mariupol in 2020, - Mark Peshka says, - but only the vocals and part of the groove remained from the old project, which became the basis of the track. At the end of 2023, I was approached by French artist Sela, who was starting a new vinyl label and offered to release my stuff. After the usual rummaging through old projects, I found Your Behind and another demo (a little insider), which will also be released on the label's next release. After completing the tracks, I sent them to Doryan (Sela), after which they immediately found their place on vinyl. Despite my overall brooding, sometimes dark and sad vibe, this track has a clubby and aggressive sound that reminds me of my opposite sides.

Peshka - Your Behind [Secret Feta]

Brawther and Tristan Da Cunha's Dungeon Meat deals only in rock-solid house cuts designed for maximum club impact. Their Weapons Of Ass Destruction series is a treasure trove of such sounds and the fourth volume is another doozy: Sweely kicks off with some rubbery tripped-out tech, Frederik Anthony spins out on silky and deft percussive tech on 'Shortbacknsides' and Timmy P's 'Your Parents Are Doing It Kev' is a drake heavier stomper for when things get freaky. Boss Priester offers another highlight with the industrial and cosmic tech of 'Today Okay' while JAMM's 'Ignition' is more high-class weaponry.

Release is out now on Juno Distribution.

Frederik Anthony - Shortbacknsides (Clip)

Scottish producer and Earworm head-honcho Bolam expands the label with a special collaboration - Off The Meds vocalist Kamohelo Khoaripe. A wonky, deep and percussive two tracker: “OMFG, That’s Not Nice”

Born from a friendship formed through social media upon like-minded sensibilities, Bolam & Kamohelo’s similar attitudes towards music is an electrifying crossover. The EP showcases a dynamic mix of snappy, wrist-flicking drums and glitchy earcandy anchored by Kamo’s standout vocals. The lyrics, while being open to interpretation, explore technology's influence on happiness and entertainment in the modern world, albeit with a hint of dystopia woven in. This theme is mixed with Bolam’s beatsmith skills which are, as always, filled with giddy tongue-in-cheek character from start to finish.

"It's a London thing!"

Thoma Bulwer's Parasol Culture label brings together the 90s influenced, eclectic sound of East London for their first collaboration 'Wick Voyagers Vol. 1'. Featured on the release are artists, friends and collaborators who have all worked with Thoma via his TB Mastering studio in Hackney Wick. The aptly titled compilation captures a moment in time, transporting me back to sunny Sunday sessions along the Hackney canal where you'll find these selectors playing bouncy, hypnotic records, spanning across minimal, 90s house, tech house, and electro. Haunts such as Oval Space, Village Underground, Lion & Lamb, Number 90, and The Pickle Factory all spring to mind and not to mention the famed Sunday afternoon parties at fabric with Villalobos taking reigns of the club. London's rave answer to church. With the likes of Voigtmann, Bobby, N-Gynn, Anna Wall, Robert James, Goodnight Cowboy, Adam Curtain, Subb-an and more featured on the release, it's a brilliant showcase of this particular East London community.

Trouble Maker Records founder Adam Curtain's contribution, 'Pest Control', draws from his typical twisted sound, featuring a looping, trance-inducing rhythm and sci-fi, alienated soundscapes.
