Drawing inspiration from science fiction, Black liberation, and the sounds of Detroit, Huey Mnemonic designs a sound that expands Black consciousness and pushes back against the whitewashing in dance music. The Motor City-based producer and sometimes DJ takes his name from Huey P. Newton and the 1995 cyberpunk film Johnny Mnemonic, a cult classic portraying a dystopian future controlled by mega-corporations. Mnemonic recently launched his Subsonic Ebonics label with the Virtuosity EP.

Preluding the Tresor 30 compilation, Huey Mnemonic composes "Transmutation" a glistening and high-spirited shuffling dance-floor rhythm track, on which the Talking Drum meets TR-909 patterns, creating an instrumental bridge between West Africa and Detroit. With "Transmutation", Huey Mnemonic demonstrates that he is undoubtedly at the forefront of a new generation of Detroit techno producers.

PREMIERE: Huey Mnemonic – Transmutation (taken from "Tresor 30")

It is like a voyage of discovery into unknown lands, seeking not for new territory but for new knowledge. It should appeal to those with a good sense of adventure.

PREMIERE: Tadan - Paradigm Shift [Electric Shapes]

Belgian DJ, producer and co-founder of the label Alliance Club, OTON, delivers his album Re-Birth on 10th February. Following his release, ALC004, on the Brussels-based imprint, OTON shares a ten-track body of work showcasing his typically fast-paced aesthetic in the trance, techno and breaks realms. Channelling speedy rhythms and ravey melodies with a nu-skool twist, Re-Birth pays homage to OTON’s influences.  

"Matrix" is the closing track from his upcoming album , a solid dose of breaks colliding with a fairy-like melody and thunking drums. It's an enticing end to a polychromatic, uber-pacey trip. Available now on limited edition laser-cut CD + digital.

IOD PREMIERE #017 // OTON - MATRIX

Posh Isolation is proud to present "Synchronized Breathing," six ambient trance melodies from Copenhagen-based multi-talent Schacke. Written over the course of five years, the material tells a tale of intimacy and estrangement, contemplating the briefness and fragility of closeness. Like pieces of cosmic debris, we gravitate and collide for a brief moment, only to part ways again. Desolate audio landscapes meet soft trancy dew, mingling with noisy cracks to create a profound sense of longing that permeates "Synchronized Breathing."

CD packed in a transparent CD ejector case + 15 page magazine, housed in a silver mylar bag. ltd to 150 copies

*Please, note, that the official release date for CD is the 28th of April.

The terrible cephalopods club is back and proud to present its latest inkjet : Octoplus. 
An original concoction for delirious octopuses… Much more than just a watery tool of destruction: Ten tentacles and an army of squids, under a mechanical alliance, to vibrate Hearts, Gudules and Spirules. And as the old cuttlefish, to whom we owe the rhyme on the wall, used to say: “Open the gills wide and let the octopus flow.”

💿 Album: Valinor
Artist: Phonk’m
Label: Dirty Fur Records

Valinor is a liquid drum & bass odyssey — a journey through misty mornings, vinyl crackles, and fading autumn light. Crafted by Phonk’m, CEO of Dirty Fur Records, this album drifts between nostalgia and rebirth, mirroring the voyage of elves to their eternal realm: Valinor.

Each track unfolds like a chapter of renewal — gentle breaks, warm subs, and rain-soaked textures blending into a soundscape that feels both ancient and alive. The vinyl hiss and seasonal ambience aren’t just details — they’re the air around the music, wrapping every rhythm in the glow of memory.

Featuring ethereal adlibs and heartfelt vocals from Natalya (big love for her voice and writing), Valinor tells a story of letting go, moving forward, and finding beauty in the in-between.

A tribute to change.
A return to peace.
A new beginning. 🌫️✨

Vienna is the city in which label co-founders Stanley Schmidt and DJ Boring met for the first time. This romantic incident caused a cosmic connection, and led to the two producers teaming up and releasing a musical blast on today's scene. Today they present us with the second release spawned from their cooperation: "Smart Replies". The release is an impactful record of well-saturated electro, loose club-friendly sketches, and enlivened ambient soundscapes.

Stanley Schmidt is a very vivid full time musician based in Leipzig who is running two labels, "PH17" and "Rivulet Records" and he's also a popular DJ in the underground scene of Leipzig and Berlin. As a resident DJ at 'Buttons' and regular performances at 'FIER'-parties, his progressive style is ever evolving via exploration through house, techno and electro, which gives him his bold contemporary style. Functioning like collages rather than self-contained songs, Stanley takes various recordings and samples out of their usual context (a well-known drum-break, an odd gabber-Skream-sample, or a computer-voice generated by Google's AI) to form something entirely new.

The original of "Shifting Modernism" opens the A-Side with intense bass and is our Bolting Bits premiere today. A breakneck rhythm with loose euphoric vocals that are interrupted by a celestial synth cumulate into a nice frenetic tune. This opening just increases our appetite for more! The joint with DJ Boring, the remix of "Shifting Modernism", gives the EP an even more diversified sound. The Berlin-based producer manages to fit in his signature style even when working on something that's not his typical sound.  The whole record is full of little surprises and harmonic experiments of different elements. For us, it's a welcome occasion to listen to new inspiring soundscapes.

A Bolting Bits must have for any electronic music collection out there. Be sure you don't miss out and order your 12" here.
