Amsterdam's @fraxinus unveils his new label Powerplant with a hard-hitting percussive sound that he’s been developing over the years, albeit with a greater interest in melodic details.

Fraxinus - Proponent [Powerplant]

IM096 - @aroent - Say
Label: Infinite Machine
Release Date: May 27th,2022
Format: Digital
Artwork by Vojd

Following on from a release-packed 2021, Infinite Machine are back with a new 4-track offering from the relative newcomer, Aroent. Across 3 new original cuts (plus a rework by UK dance royalty, Ploy) the Berlin-based producer delivers some serious rollers crammed full of gnarly drumwork and a pervasive air of unease. Like the strange, abstract creature of the record artwork, the music of Say EP is an amorphous beast, mixing the dense arrangements/layering of 90s IDM records with the off-kilter and swung beats of UK Techno and Funky.

The EP opens with its title track; a whirl of snaps, claps and phantom samples all firmly underpinned by an acid-inflected bassline. Aroent embracing of chance and luck in his compositions is evident on this track, throwing in idiosyncratic automations and randomizers to grow and evolve the tune over its 5 minute duration. The vox samples (stolen from Breaking Bad) seem to decay and fall inwards on each other on ‘Say’, as if the song is soundtrack to a decaying and corrupted society (not dissimilar to Heisenberg’s).

On ‘Rolling Oddities’, Aroent’s love for the Bristol bass & techno scene really shines through clearly. A track that seems almost built for a spinny night that rolls on until the morning, the song really does what it says on the tin with its combination of driving, rhythmic elements and it’s smattering of pretty out-there decisions in terms of arrangement and sound processing. This is a definite must-listen tune for fans of Batu, Lurka or Hodge.

Next up, ‘Bobcat’ takes things in a slightly more buoyant and ecstatic direction with its ever-rising filters and muted percussion that seems like it’s dancing along on tip-toes. On this song especially, Aroent’s genre-agnostic approach to production is abundantly obvious with elements of techno and bass sitting alongside kick drums that wouldn’t feel out of place on some Jersey Club tracks.

Ploy brings up the rear on Say EP with a ferocious ‘Skeletal Tool remix’ of the releases’ title track. Taking a reductionist approach to his rework, the Timedance signee strips out some of the originals’ more hyperbolic or dramatic elements and reduces it to a polyrhythmic, semi-genreless heater. Seriously - you try and pin this edit down to a single ‘genre label’, I dare you!

Despite the small number of releases to his name, Say EP is a highly confident and well-realized offering from the Greek-born, Berlin-based producer. In a way, Aroent is already creating his own sonic signature that lifts and interpolates aspects across the UK Bass spectrum and turns it into something totally unique. This is music that lurks in the shadows of warehouse clubs.

2. Rolling Oddities

@renslink - !85 EP
Label: Infinite Machine
CAT#: IM103
Format: Digital
Release: May 26th, 2023
Mastered by Fausto Mercier
Artwork by Luis Tomita

UK producer Renslink calls IM103 his first effort focused on the dancefloor, but it belies a lifetime steeped in it. This is prime material for the most advanced of DJs.

The first cut, Static, blends heavy, droning atmospheric sound design with the half-time template of dubstep, complete with jungle vocals. Before reaching the first half, however, it goes into a healthy techno gallop, making the track a perfect set opener if drama is your thing.

From that we go into the three-on-two mindbend of In My Mind, full of beautiful rhythmic trickery and rave culture nods in the sampled female vocals.

Cenotaph feels like a Pinch & Mumdance dub that they kept for themselves around the Control/Strobelight era, all rolling, persistent kick, dubbed-out dready vocals and dystopian hoover.

In Touching The Void we find a moment of drama and relative tenderness, as cinematic strings and choir soar over a busy rolling breakbeat. Occasionally, the proceedings are punctuated by a reese bass and bleeps fill that keep it fresh (an you on your toes).

Closer Silence is a mutant dembow wobbler with alien vocals by Nivalis, like dancehall for after the nuclear apocalypse, when we’ll have all the extra limbs we’ll need to dance to music like this.

Third single of Maloca, Vol.2 forthcoming on Dec 8th
maloca.bandcamp.com/album/maloca-vol-2

« Founded almost four years ago, Le Motel’s Maloca Records has excelled in world-building as it tirelessly brings together some of the best and most innovative artists from different pockets of the club community around the world. This is showcased most notably through the compilation series which returns for its second volume on the 8th December as it combines both established and breakthrough artists.

Across 17 tracks, Maloca, Vol. 2 features both label family and exciting debuts with the likes of Farsight, Griffit Vigo, and DJ JM returning to the imprint. The rest of the compilation sees knockout contributions from the likes of Bambounou, Flore, Konduku, Tristan Arp, NVST, De Grandi, Neida, Cheb Runner, Malo2k, Leese, Ultima Esuna & Destrata, Mika Oki, M I M I and Space Drum Meditation. Whilst these artists may be from different cities across the pond, they all have something in common - they are leading the way for the next wave of club music. Whether that’s the riotous sounds of NVST, Griffit Vigo’s ever- evolving landscape of gqom, Tristan Arp’s signature insect-inspired soundscape, the emerging Brussels-based artists M I M I and Mika Oki or the trippy, introspective melodies of Konduku and Space Drum Meditation. Maloca, Vol. 2, captures a mind-melting moment in time.

The artwork is by Brussels-based painter Anastasia Bay who’s work presents a renewed vision of the human figure. Oscillating between abstraction and figuration, Anastasia Bay’s work is all about contrast and balance. The choice of a precise fragment of reality in her works dissolves any narration. »

We are more than delighted to welcome Martini to W133. After appearances on Kindergarten Records and Early Reflex, the NYC-based producer delivers three uniquely well-crafted originals for the Berlin imprint.

Kicking off the EP on A1 is "Liquorice." The track starts with captivating ambient sounds and playfully develops into a breaky tribal adventure, paving the way for the EP title-giving track that is "Aqua Pura." You can feel the power of crystal-clear water bursting through your speakers, and tension building while the track develops. Mechanical noises and sci-fi sounds decorate the bass-heavy yet also playful baseline

Your Planet Is Next - URBAN MAN XL
⚪️ Available now on Bandcamp: https://yourplanetisnext.bandcamp.com/album/urban-man-xl

We're proud to present URBAN MAN XL, the new alias from @yourplanetisnext , on Terminal. This project captures the essence of genres like happy hardcore, breakbeat, and early grime. URBAN MAN XL takes us to a distorted reality where early 2000s London and 90s Rotterdam converge in a high-energy, technically explorative sonic narrative, throwing us back to those dark, sweaty clubs where euphoria and chaos were the common tongue.

With production marked by wild downsampling and time-stretching, this EP channels the raw, visceral energy of hardcore and breakbeat into an unfiltered sound. Each track is an explosive piece, full of broken rhythms and saturated basslines, reminiscent of early rave experiences, but with a contemporary edge that makes it unmistakably his own. The narrative is further enhanced by an intergalactic war story between the "Frogtronic" resistance and "the free world" — a nod to DIY aesthetics and the sharp, acidic humor that defines the project.

The visual art for URBAN MAN XL, developed by Triss, draws from 90s graffiti, connecting with the jungle, hardcore, and rave culture. This retro aesthetic is combined with Dennis Vera's low-res DIY animations, evoking the spirit of those early colorful and minimalist raves. This EP is more than just music: it's a sonic manifesto exploring the limits between analog and digital, nostalgia and futurism.

Terminal once again proves to be the natural home for projects that refuse to conform, seeking to challenge the codes of clubbing. URBAN MAN XL embodies that attitude: frenetic rhythms, low frequencies, and a twisted nostalgia that just wants to tear up the dancefloor.
