totally sick, super subversive tension builder

Techno

Rhythm Department Records label boss and Manchester house giant Swales readies the tenth release on Distant Horizons, showcasing his signature blend of ecstatic rhythms, playful melodies and vivid, late-night excursions. Having become synonymous as a purveyor of quality house through his releases with Dansu Discs, Slothboogie and Honey Butter Records - the UK based producer provides a constant nod to the roots of dance through his own futuristic lens. 

Opening the release is ‘Faded Dreams’, a beautifully crafted track that ebbs and flows amongst sweat induced hugs and tears on the dance floor. The mantra ‘everything must fade’ is voiced softly, speaking to the transient nature of time while embodying the trascendental effect music can have. ‘Waves’ then invites a flow state of peace and tranquility, through its steady pace and oceanic blue textures - the drifting sonics are inviting, encouraging listeners to become lost within their layered arms. 

‘Open Your Mind’ picks up perfectly where ‘Waves’ left off with its jazz infused melodies and organic grooves. The mood radiates new city energy - the first wide-eyed experience of new smells, sights and the shining promise of opportunity. The pleasure dial is turned up to 100 in ‘Looking Back’ Swales capturing the distinctive energy from early house records with a progression of bubbling basslines, infectious chords and nostalgic vocal samples.

DISTANT010 // Swales - Faded Dreams

It’s time once again to grab your friends and get to the floor as SlothBoogie take us for a 16-track ride through all facets of their sound. The London-based crew calls up familiar faces and brings in new names for the third volume of their Dancing With Friends compilation series. It’s a varied, juicy bunch of tracks, starting the vibes off in the innocent sunshine before descending into the sort of raw atmosphere you’d find in a dimly-lit club basement.

Delectable deep house features in the form of Philippa’s jazzy ‘Chet's Vibe’, the funk-infused ‘Skleyka’ by Lowres and the intimate, sexy ‘We On Dis Ting’ by Tiptoes. Intr0beatz also smashes out a lovely slab of key-laden house in his signature style on ‘While You're Here’ and the final track of the comp, ‘So Sure’ by HNQO is a sample-heavy broken beat that stops and starts and falls subconsciously into a highly danceable groove. An honourable mention goes out to ‘Raw Disco Bastards’ by Craftmanship, too, which leads the pack in taking things dirtier and deeper.

Slipping you gently into the nighttime, Baby Rollén’s ‘Study In Serenity’ offers an electronic acid squelch while the likes of Sudden Moves' ‘Take Back’, King Julian's ‘I Miss You’ and The Revenge's ‘Take Hold (Dub)’ cruise through with polished, elegant house music.

If tops have come off and you’re looking for a faster energy, look no further than Ruff Stuff’s pummelling no-holds-barred ‘Stab Culture’. Or check out Demuir’s absolutely baffling madness on ‘Industry State’ – insane.

Dancing With Friends Vol.3 throws curveballs in left, right and centre. Kristy Harper’s ‘Out Of Character’ is one – her vocals ride over a fast almost hyperpop style beat. Jive Talk’s ‘4EVA 4C1D’ is a hedonistic, head-turning, bubbling acid bassline centred around luscious breaks.

Scruscru's ‘Camel Ride’ pairs a frenzy of percussion with dubbed-out horns and yet another acid bassline to form a proper peak-time banger. We can’t not mention Donald Dust’s fantastic ‘Aftercare’. Here, a Giorgio Morodor-esque arpeggiating synth riff floats over punching drums to add a splash of retro Cowley to the collection.

From the sun traps of London’s rooftops to the windowless chaos of Studio 54, SlothBoogie provides for all and doesn’t hold back an inch.

From Zurich’s quiet streets, alive with stories begging to be told, emerges a creator of contrasts—a non-binary artist thriving in the delicate tension between opposites. Grounded yet boundless, their sound unfolds like a rhythm humming beneath the surface—a pulse you notice only when you lean in close. Or perhaps for others, from afar.

Embedded in its vibrant DIY scene, Olan! flourishes within a close-knit queer community, building safer spaces, promoting visibility, and championing the experimental spirit of queer club culture. Their artistry extends beyond music, reflecting a deep commitment to authenticity & connection. Bold yet playful, instinctive yet refined, their work is a living paradox, stitching precision & repetition with hypnotic fluidity.

Olan!’s musical evolution has been shaped by a lifetime of curiosity & exploration. Early years spent experimenting with their brother’s synthesizers and immersing in video game soundtracks laid the foundation for their fascination with aural worlds. Later, formal jazz training sharpened their sense of timing and harmony, while the immersive energy of club culture revealed new creative possibilities: mesmerising loops and the raw, unfiltered force of repetition.

"Spikes & Bubbles" encapsulates these contrasts; a creative ethos—balancing precision with whimsy, focus with freedom. The tracks span rediscovered melodies and fresh ideas born from bursts of inspiration, each a study in contradiction. Together, they form a cohesive soundscape designed to forge connection—whether on the dancefloor or in solitude.

Listening to it feels like trespassing into a realm not meant to be seen, but always meant to be felt. This is music born of opposites, held together by Olan!’s singular vision of an auditory canvas as fleeting and vivid as a dream. It’s an invitation to embrace the unstable, the imperfect, and the playful, where contradictions collide to create something truly extraordinary.

PREMIERE : Olan! - Golden Drizzle 23/12

Jel Ford returns to Drumcode after his highly anticipated remix of Alan Fitzpatrick’s ‘For An Endless Night’. Ford laces his three electrifying, new original tracks with a high energy that are guaranteed to get any dance floor rocking. Heavily featuring on Adam Beyer’s Drumcode radio both ‘Red Mist’ and ‘Overcast’ have gained heavy support from DJ’s and fans alike. ‘Ode To Basement’ is an end of night smasher that will make everyone melt into the ground as it is caressed out of the sound system.

PREMIERE > inverted-audio.com/premiere-decka-003

@decka-music '003' is a track so weighed down with bass and pressure it's hard not to affiliate this to Berghain's iconic signature sound. The track rolls out a mix of intense low-pitched freqs, fractal dub and gasping vocals to take full advantage of your body. Mastered at Dubplates & Mastering "Isolated" EP is a no brainer for fans of Sandwell District, Ben Klock and Marcel Dettmann.

Isolated

Decka - 003 [SPE:C]

Kicking it with names like Hessle Audio, Drumcode, Berghain and Fabric – Perc & Randomer are more than well versed in the scriptures of electronic music. In cahoots for their EP collaboration Igneous, the London-based maestros have spawned a three-track demon, combining Randomer’s ruthless 4x4 and Perc’s rambunctious fabrications.

From this latest sermon, we’ve cherry picked “Breezeblock” as our favourite – a molten hot foray into the twisted world of London bass. An underpinning cacophony of pneumatic percussion lies amidst schizophrenic nuances, catering perfectly to sweaty metal caverns. “Breezeblock” has all the tell-tale signs of a stomper.

Igneous drops on 7th October through Perc's renowned Perc Trax on wax and digital.
