Butter Sessions' 63rd release 'Come Round' is a pulsating journey that spans so-called Australia's east and west coasts, connected by heavyweight producers DJ PGZ and Yikes. The respective Naarm & Boorloo-based DJs' artistry culminates in a seven-track EP — a treasure trove of underground club gems that blend techno, bass and breakbeat in a robust collaboration, including two-cross remixes.

The opening cut 'Solidarity System' by Gunai/Kurnai & Yorta Yorta artist DJ PGZ instantly sets the EP's tone, marking its territory on both club floors and outdoor raves. Anchored by pulsating 4x4 kicks, the track builds with flashes of melodic techno flourishes and a wub-laden bassline, which flows seamlessly into his second track 'Energy Monstera'. In this follow-up, the garage-style wub continues, underscored by bass-music staples like siren samples and vocal calls, while maintaining his dark techno style. Wongutha artist Yikes' 'Off to Work Edit' intensifies the bass with ample saturation, introducing a triplet-infused rhythm and acid-synth line into his flip.

'Ouss Ouss' stands out as the EP's defining collaboration, capturing the synergy between DJ PGZ and Yikes in their only direct team-up on the record. A deep, commanding vocal anchors the beat, while an irresistible descending synth-line pulls us into a hypnotic groove. Breakbeat accents weave in and out, creating a push-pull effect that both teases and satisfies — a subtle nod to both artists' love for broken percussive textures in this mostly tech-head release.

'Sidestep' offers a first taste of Yikes' solo work, where he again hones in on a distorted bassline to drive the track forward. Reverberated melodic elements and effects in the background provide a layered soundscape, with subtle shifts propelling the groove into a trance-like rhythm — perfect for entrancing a dancefloor. In 'Check Out That', Yikes features the same iconic sample as 'Solidarity System', cementing the east-west sonic connection. The track's bubbling acid-line injects excitement into the mix, evolving the landscape while honouring its dance-first roots.

DJ PGZ's 'Rewind Yourself Mix' flips 'Check That Out' with deep bass and acid-synths — by now this EP's unmistakable calling card —, accompanied by subdued, filtered drum programming that hints at the closing chapter of the EP. As the track unfolds, noisy synth pads weave throughout, before the track echoes out to a reflective farewell.

An impressive feat from two genre-gliding master producers of their craft!

One year from Ayū’s debut on Harmony—Neon Affair, four artists closely connected to the release were invited to remix their favorite track from the record. The result is a new remix EP featuring a dancefloor-driven A-side, crafted for peak-time energy, and a B-side dedicated to closing sets and trippy storytelling.

Side A opens with Maara’s remix of “Space to Come”- a progressive, sexy spacey journey with muttered vocals and a blissed-out groove, blended with her iconic sound. Keeping up with the dance-floor energy, Spray delivers a dreamy yet bubbly take on “Point Nemo.” Spray’s take showcases his distinctive musical patterns, and fuzzy textures.

The B-side remix by Harmony's Alfred Czital and Jeku sends the record to late hours of party. Jeku’s version of “Neon Affair” brings driving drumlines and euphoric prog beats, layered with hypnotic, trippy touches - sweet, yet dirty. Alfred Czital closes the record with his Dream Mix of “Space to Come,” an exciting and misty journey through sound - playful, metaphysical, and the perfect closing track for extended parties.

Mara & DJ Swen @Pilot Radio - 20 August 2025

Drum grooves left behind on the disk drive of an old SP1200, a rusted spring reverb and crates of dusty records, all boxed up in a distant relative’s workshop. @commandd has uncovered the first tracks in a series of forgotten gems of a distant relative, a craftsman inspired by the raw style of 90s house and techno.

On a mission to keep dancefloors moving, this long-lost relative’s productions find new life, with a hope to travel from city to city, deejays responsible for carrying sounds forged in the fire of an undeniable groove. 

The Vibesmith is the work of an alchemist with the freedom to embrace imperfection and find solace in tradition.

With no concern for passing trends, the Vibesmith went about thankless work at the forge, the fruits of their labour finally available for all to taste.”

Command D presents ‘Fever’, the first in a series of releases under his no muss, no fuss imprint ‘The Vibesmith’. Taking inspiration from Junior Byles’ 50s era joint, also called ‘Fever’, the track is a reinvigoration of an inescapable vibe sure to capture the attention of any willing dance floor.

The smith forges on, with no doubt many more to come.

‘The Vibesmith 001’ releases as a double single via Command D’s Bandcamp this Friday, August 29.

Inspired by the way signals echo across the cosmos like light, radio waves, and sound reverberate through spaces, Azo’s ‘Echoes of Infinity’ EP transmits from the outer edges of emotion. Opener ‘Human Love Language’ lays down a hefty Electro beat with raw Reese bass and yearning pads, while ‘First Light’ breaks through the darkness with shining keys, glowing acid, and hopeful energy. ‘Orbit Breaker’ then pulls us through the void, propelling into new worlds via sub-heavy rhythm and playful, liquid synths perfect to work the dance floor into a frenzy.

The EP’s final stretch ventures into new territory for the label: ‘Where We Belong’ pairs expressive piano with a surprise switch-up into breakbeats, hoover bass, and Hardcore elements, while the title track ‘Echoes of Infinity’ goes full-throttle Drum & Bass, driven by a razor-sharp groove and feel-good piano riﬀs. Traversing genres and emotional states, this EP has already won support from the likes of Dave Harvey, Josh Caﬀe, and Massimiliano Pagliara, reaching inward and outward toward connection, understanding, and something greater.

Azo blends Acid, Techno, Trance, UK Hardcore, and Detroit-inspired sounds into a high-energy, emotionally resonant style. A staple in the European scene, she has appeared on labels such as Correspondant, SNC Crew, Astropolis, and Duality Trax, with past sets at institutions like Fuse, Tomorrowland, Nuits Sonores, Listen Festival, and Watergate. Her Queer Future Club events have toured across Europe, and her radio presence includes shows on The Lot, Rinse France, and Kiosk Radio, where she holds residency.
