Astral VIP (and more) are here to remedy the monotony! by rehashing what you’ve already heard? but alas, no one is perfect. Outliers and outcasts have always created pockets in the mould of the city, smoke and wubs away from the lights and hammer. This collection of 14 tracks comes from such a dent, representative of different scenes all dedicated to this approach, coming from dank corners, away from big business.

Our offering is a tribute to the mix CDs of dance before (Global Underground et al), with AVIP’s very own Dugong on the 1s and 2s blending contributions from analogous crew into one continuous mix. Future-past made present, for potentially discontinued CD drives. For the sake of tangibility, in times that surge ahead regardless.

All profits from this compilation are being donated to 3EZWA Legal Fund, to help financially assist those facing draconian legal fees as part of the current protest movement in solidarity with Palestine & Lebanon.

Dugong - Dugong's Art of Stroytelling

Monty DJ presents his second single, "Flight," an uplifting house roller with a breakbeat groove, rolling bassline, blissful stabs, and fragmented vocals. An all purpose tool for a variety of dancefloor moments.

Joining the release is Retromigration with a signature remix. A percussion-driven take on the original, adding his own synth stabs, vocal chops, jazzy pads, and another big bassline.

‘That Sort of Thing’ is a high-energy, breakbeat-driven cut from The Rabbit Hole EP, a collaborative outing between Rhodri Price and French producer Little by Little, out 2nd May on Seafront Recordings. A nod to the golden era of 90s rave, it fuses gritty breaks, nostalgic rave stabs, and a warped bassline that drags you deep into the dancefloor haze. Pure warehouse energy with a modern twist—that sort of thing.

Separate Ft. Beka Gochiashvili & Anna Zavorina (Strings Dub Version)

The Lizm sees us off, a supple percussive playground which swings playful and loose amongst a livewire of subs, weightless pads and a faint dub echo.

A succinct dancefloor statement of intent from Syz, and an exhilarating beginning for Vitalizm.

Hyp 285: Brian Not Brian

"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.
