Beta Librae @blibrae returns to Incienso with her third album, “DAYSTAR”. Whereas her previous album for the label, “Sanguine Bond” was an altogether more heady affair - “DAYSTAR”, like the name implies, is a bright and bold waypoint in the ever expanding Beta Librae universe.

On eight songs, including a striking collaboration with james K @jamesk_1 on the lead single “Late At Night”, Beta gathers up new elements of sound and pairs them her unmistakable rhythmic shapes to bring us the most wide-ranging and cohesive B.L. album yet.

Beta Librae - Megafauna [INC-023]

There was a thick fog which hung down by the docks. It had blown in from the West coast earlier that morning and sent a repulsive shiver up through the industry. How could they continue to bang the drum whilst the cold swallowed them up down by the water?

The sound of industry would need to come to a halt. At least temporarily for the time being. Only then would it be able to rise again once more, with an even louder thunder and the density of an echo which would bang and rally through time.

Listen carefully to the sound of silence, before the drums return.

Of Paradise are set to release an all conquering new EP from Tymotica which might be one of our favourites from the label yet. This track features riotous punching stabs, hard hitting drums and a precise tension which will do wonders in big dark rooms.

Bright shines the light behind the mysterious silhouette of Acidgigi - is what you may think listening to his "Weirdo Jelly EP" coming out in March 2024 via bass music headz favorite Flippen Bits.

The Milan-based producer makes his debut on the label with Weirdo Jelly EP, offering a fresh take on electronic dance music that is both adventurous and mysterious but elegant nonetheless.

While the entrancing repetitiveness of percussive loops on Weirdo Jelly EP are a love letter to the dance floor, there is a dedication to songwriting to be sensed that goes beyond functional club tunes.

Cinematic and melancholic, yet full of hope. Euphoric and immersive, yet effortlessly free. Across these three originals, Acidgigi carves out a sound that is uniquely his own.

Toronto’s Ciel adds a thrilling 90s inspired remix version of Silly Dub that fuses the dubby, percussive nature of the original with vocals chops into a trip of a dance floor tune.

Bruce - I'm Alright Mate (Asusu Remix)

Ostgut Ton’s Berghain mix series returns with volume 08 by Fiedel. Available on 12” vinyl are four new exclusive tracks by Electric Indigo, Stefan Rein, rRoxymore and Boris & Fiedel. 

Few figures in Berlin dance music can claim as lasting and multifaceted a presence as longtime Berghain resident Fiedel. A former resident at Berghain forerunner OstGut, the veteran DJ and producer is known by heads for his decades-long influence on left-field techno and bass music in the German capital, particularly as one half of celebrated production duo MMM with Errorsmith, and co-operator of the legendary Wax Treatment parties together with Mark Ernestus of Hard Wax and Basic Channel fame. Indeed, Fiedel’s broad vision of what works on the dance floor is informed by grooves both in and outside the realm of 4/4 – from, acid, electro and jungle to hip-hop, dub und breaks – all subtly present in hybrid forms on previous releases for Ostgut Ton and his own Fiedelone and Fiedeltwo imprints. So it makes sense that the four exclusive tracks he has curated for the 8th edition of the Berghain mix series radiate the same off-kilter, bass-heavy and deep techno sensibility. 

Veteran Viennese producer, activist and DJ Electric Indigo kicks blasts things off with “Registers”, employing her trademark dubby and sample-heavy rhythmic constructions, minor chords and distorted hats. Driving and atmospheric, “Registers” sets the bar high not only for the 12-inch but also as the explosive opener for the mix itself. This is followed on A2 by PURE-TRAXX founder Stefan Rein, whose deep, hypnotic “Panther” transcends techno-tool status with entrancing siren melodies and psychedelic builds and releases. 

French-born, Berlin-based producer rRoxymore takes a sonic left turn on B-Side opener “Tropicalcore”, where bleepy, distorted and complex drum patterns recall both classic DMZ and later post-dubstep funk. Finally, B2 belongs to Fiedel himself, who teams up with fellow veteran Berghain resident and Berlin techno stalwart Boris on “Div’hain”. The track teems with with bubbling bass-lines, cowbells and claps shaped by modular synths, as well as elements of electro and boogie – but jacks hard. It’s a fitting closer to one of the mix series’ most eclectic 12-inches – made by one of Berghain’s most fearless residents.

Sounds from another universe, let me take you deeper into Squamata, where I was born...

Taken from the album 'Return To Planet X'trapolis' out now on LKR Records

I had a lot of fun putting this track together over quite a long time, working in the triplet grid this track can be played perfectly in sync with either 100bpm or 150bpm tracks. The main break and some of the kick drums were created from one of my favourite ever natural sounds: the sound of a frozen lake thawing and snapping in spring time.. There are some other found sounds in there as well but it was also the first time I was able to use the clone of my favourite synths of all time the Syncussion Sy-1m.

Pictures like the one attached that belong to the 'Journal Of Experimental Biology' (https://jeb.biologists.org/) as well as BBC's ©Paul D. Stewart have been used as a huge source of inspiration along the way whilst writing the Album. I thought i'd share some of these as for this particular track they I feel they're a perfect match for the sound.

Enjoy!
