Overflowing with 17 tracks, this release is a snapshot of the unique energy that thrives on dancefloors, where boundary-pushing sounds come to life. It’s stacked with club-ready bangers and euphoric anthems from the Weaver family and friends. Whether you’re warming up the crowd, peaking at midnight, or deep in the after-hours, there’s something here for every moment. This release isn't just a showcase of talent; it's a celebration of the collective spirit that drives underground music forward.

Expect bass-driven breaks from Ekzander, Sniper1, Monfreaq and Subsism, as well as Wretla’s euphoria-inducing garage. Pacey tech from Simrana and AWHM, with DJ Huntsman taking the hypnotic tip. BADEO, Basscamp, suki, Jeku and Anderson keep the flow grooving with their prog house and minimal percussion, while Desire, Lex, Cybernet and Azo provide the high energy peak-time delicacies.

50% of profits from the release will be split evenly between Pay The Rent (Australia) and the MA’AN Development Centre (Gaza).

Captive Incompetence

From the EP 'Come Round' — out on Feb 7th, 2025

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!

GIVE IN TO SIN. From within the long-locked tombs of lesbian lore smoke rises and draws its whispering curtain across the wide open sky...and where there’s smoke, there’s fire. Secrets concealed by thick drunken clouds resurfaces naked truths in the last gasps of smouldering ashes. 

Oh you thought it would stay a secret? We’ve let sleeping lezzies lie long enough. It’s time to face the music. Welcome to BIG WHOOPS… Maara’s inaugural offering on her new label, Ancient Records. With this driving debut, Maara excavates the scrolls, archives, and dossiers upon which our past was built and our future depends. 

A wish for a world of sweet sapphic symbiosis—a fantasy, perhaps, or a waking dream? Nothing is promised except for right now. The past manifests in the present, both a blessing and a curse. Ancient Records fulfills your dark club fantasies as Maara unearths simmering secrets and hidden truths in a rapturous ushering in of a new era. Never forget where you came from, and just wait until you see where we’re going...

Are U That Somebody Edit

Maara - Asexual Horndog

The second EP from label bosses djfix & jek delivers seven dancefloor-ready tracks, fusing hazy percussion, twisted synthesis, and ethereal, granulated vocal chops into a deep, rolling journey through sounds made for an outdoor system. An homage to early West Coast breaks—desert style—reimagined through the Earth Dog sound.

On remix duties, we’ve tapped two favs: Human Space Machine & Blu:sh. HSM twists the source material into head-spinning hypnosis, while Bl:ush crafts a shadowy, driving, percussive trip built for the early morning heads.

Weirdies Records is proud to welcome rougail space program in the team with his first official release, like ECLT before him. This marks the second occurence in the label freshly created by Parisian boy Jon Beige already heard on labels such as Global Warming Records or R.W.A., also a Rinse France resident for a few months. The global recipe remains the same : singular music, risky and full of attitude, accompanied by a mystical visual universe signed by Louis Ziéglé.

Maxime quickly made a name for himself in Paris those last few years, via addictive edits to get started, that quickly became « SoundCloud hits ». That’s how his moniker appeared on tracklists from French techno brightest stars like Anetha, François X, Bambounou or Elise Massoni without ever having released music in an formal way. In the center of a whirlwind mixing various influences, he developed his ear from La Station bass nights to his friends GЯEG’s Rex Club residence. He became a regular in La Créole’s crowd, one of Paris’ hottest parties, and then behind the decks. In march, like an apotheosis, he literally mystified the current best club in town essaim, with an already legendary set, opening for Rroxymore and DJ Plead.

After having released some well-chosen tracks on compilations, like Jerry Horny, it was about time to sail by his own, keeping his energetic and clubby production skills without sticking to it too much. He wanted to compose something that will look like a small album where each track would have its own influences and singularity. Like a dish that mixes sweetness, bitterness, acidity, vivacity, but mostly taste, those five tracks feed off each other perfectly in changing balances. First tracks’ melancholy and depth bring an introspective, almost romantic note to the next ones, bursting with energy.

Boarding Area opens with a soft waterfall of marine notes, an organic ode to liminal spaces specific to the seabed, and continues with Late Nite Gaze, a Beatles techno getaway, that is reminiscent of Barker or Basic Channel’s work. The ground is prepared for 417 Tool, futuristic energy monolith with funny spices, a post-covid demo from Maxime enhanced Pimp My Ride’s way by Jon Beige’s sharp tools. Speaking about car tunning, Tamarin Sex, EP’s first single with bubbling and jersey influences, pays an in-your-face tribute to the « car bass » culture from his native Reunion Island. Shepherd’s Bush wrap it all up transposing those vibes threw the prism of his Parisian rides best memories.

A true royal rebel without a cause joins the Step Ball Chain chosen family. Berlin psy-con Yazzus presents a sexy sweatfest; a four track original EP featuring DJ Fuckoff of tech-trodden club stompers that will shake and break you. Operating in a lane of her own, she draws on her UK roots with bass laden bounce and never forgets to add that sapphic touch crucial to SBC. “Rebel Royale” is keeping techno freaky, cheeky and ahead of the curve.  

Quintessentially out of control, elements of tension and release are toyed with throughout all the tracks, the building and driving addictive synth work in Venom & Vision; Serpent’s Rising sending even the most sane into a spiral. Basslines come thick and heavy, chunky by nature and particularly prevalent in Delicately Mad and My Lipgloss My Rules, they are the backbone of the record. Don’t get it twisted, this isn’t some run of the mill techno; the modular bleeps and freakouts, FX and vocals are wired and inspired; the glue showcasing Yazzus’s fully sick technical abilities. Last but not least, she entails the help of friend DJ Fuckoff; haunted slippery vocals are a match made in heaven for the percussive psy workout Erotica.
