Prepandemic hypnotic modular synthesis and automated text to speech lecturing us on how the world feels. Piska Power’s “C Plane” EP has an empathic view of humans surviving in nature. 2 straight edge driving originals twisted on the flip side by 2 Danny Daze remixes.

DISCOTECA NEGRA releases 'Schwarz' EP with Berlin's artist Piska Power.

Inspired by the book "Traumdeutung" by Freud, Piska Power creates a memorable Proto-Techno piece incorporating elemental soundscapes with his signature sound, this time with nuances on references of the late 80s like D.A.F., Liaisons Dangereuses or Einstürzende Neubauten.
      
Label head Ignacio Rosa joins to the EP with a Remix version with a heavy input of Dark Disco and New Beat for the big rooms.

09 Benedikt Frey - YOUR K-Hole MY Soundtrack

READ > https://inverted-audio.com/premiere-fka-boursin-listless-intertext-frank-tonys-housebeat-dub

Bristol-based producer fka @boursin joins the fold at NYC-based imprint @scissorandthread with a forthcoming 12" single named 'Listless Intertext', accompanied with an exquisite dub flex from label bosses Frank & Tony.

The original is a 12-minute drift through hazy deep house textures, half-caught conversations, dreamy synths and shuffling percussion. Instead of clear vocals, we get indecipherable fragments that lend the track a woozy, dream-state quality - like trying to decipher a distant conversation while slipping out of consciousness. It’s deep and loose, a slow-burner that feels just as suited to headphones as it does a smoky backroom.

Frank & Tony’s Housebeat Dub flips that energy on its head. The duo keep the mood intact but drive it forward with a fat, rolling groove tailor-made for those blurry hours on the dancefloor. Where boursin pulls you inward, Frank & Tony push it outward - a hypnotic, floor-ready workout that still carries the ghostly essence of the original. Together, they make Listless Intertext a release that blurs the line between introspection and propulsion, subtle listening and functional club heat.

Mantra ๒ is presented by fellow space cat @freybenedikt. He describes this mix as one “For the Birds and the Trees” and we couldn’t agree more.

Listen and dream. here, music is the medicine.

Mantra ๒ Benedikt Frey

https://soundcloud.com/rugstusslenis: This mix is a personal journey, a reflection of my current emotional and alchemical state, especially through the weight of some challenging times. It starts deep, with tribal vibes that feel like a quiet ritual, grounding you in the moment. The rhythms build slowly, weaving through hypnotic layers into psychedelic pulses and trance grooves that pull you forward, like a heartbeat picking up pace. I crafted this to feel raw and human, letting the music trace the edges of my headspace—introspective, sometimes heavy, but always moving toward something alive. It’s not just a set; it’s me working through the chaos, finding flow, and inviting you to move with me.

Rūgštus Slėnis is a dive into the wild, layered world of sound—think tribal rhythms stitched together with an acid edge, pulsing like a living thing. My mixes shift between light and shadow, dreamy drifts and trippy highs, always eclectic, always moving. From his early days, he has been chasing a sound that’s carved deep into his psyche, blending the raw energy of nature with the flow of my inner alchemy. A story told through sound — raw, real, and an open invitation to feel the rhythm.

11 Benedikt Frey - My Cat & Me (Lullaby for L)

FEATURE > https://inverted-audio.com/feature/the-burrell-connection-looks-back-on-10-years-of-craigie-knowes 

For Zander Hay - better known as @theburrellconnection - music has always been as much about people as it is about sound. His new EP for @craigie-knowes, 'I Waste My Time So You Don’t Have To', arrives as the label marks its 10th anniversary, a milestone that means more to him than most. Not only has Zander released music with the Glasgow-born imprint, he’s also been quietly running their PR from behind the scenes since the early days, helping to tell their story to the world.

That dual role makes this release feel like a full-circle moment. The EP gathers together material shaped in the club, in the bedroom, and most importantly, in the company of friends. Lead cut “E Before I” has already been heard echoing through Berlin basements, including in a live version taken from Zander’s performance at Tresor, invited by LNS and DJ Sotofett. The B-side heads deeper, pairing the dubbed-out force of “Celestial” with the warm, widescreen pads of “Ensemble” - tracks that carry what he half-jokingly calls his “signature sound,” something he’s been chiselling away at for over a decade.

Zander speaks candidly about the title of the record, pointing to the endless hours spent in pursuit of something original. He’s unflinching in his criticism of DJs hiding IDs or passing off other people’s tracks as their own - a reminder that, for him, credit and community go hand in hand. “Music is not a luxury, it’s an essential,” he insists, and it’s clear that ethos drives not just his own practice, but also the way he moves through the scene.

That scene has taken him from Glasgow, where he cut his teeth at La Cheetah Club and soaked up records at Rubadub, to Berlin, where he now co-runs Slurp of the Antics with Valcat - a party deliberately centred on live performance in a city often saturated with DJ culture. Between the drizzle-soaked after-hours of Scotland and the intensity of Berlin’s underground, he has carved out a practice that feels both grounded and exploratory, rooted in place yet open to evolution.

At the heart of it all is Craigie Knowes. For Zander, the label’s story is bound up with his own - from being pushed creatively by deadlines and honest feedback, to finding genuine friendship with Max, Mitch and the wider CK family. “Friendship!” he says without hesitation when asked about the most rewarding part of his journey so far. That word runs like a thread through his reflections: from teenage trips to Sub Club on borrowed IDs, to afterhour residencies, to the countless connections made through music over the years.

As he sets up a new studio, offers tuition, and continues to develop his live shows, Zander isn’t slowing down. 'I Waste My Time So You Don’t Have To' is more than a title; it’s a snapshot of where he’s at right now - committed, outspoken, and still finding joy in the graft. For him, the story of Craigie Knowes at 10 isn’t just about a label’s legacy, but about the friendships that make the music possible.

Philipp Priebe returns to his own Stólar imprint this August with his ‘Layers Of Longing’ EP, comprising four original compositions.

Berlin artist Philipp Priebe’s now extensive back catalogue and his Stólar label has firmly cemented him as a coveted figure in the underground deep house and techno scene over the past decade, garnering an array of widespread attention from DJ’s and media like through numerous EP’s, debut album on his own imprint and most recently another long player for Freund Der Familie’s new Paradijs Boogie imprint.

Premiere | Philipp Priebe - A Sculpture (STÓ009)

https://soundcloud.com/speechmaker: This mix tells an inner journey, an evolution guided by the steps of a person in motion. It moves through different phases – light and joyful, at times heavy or weighty, and at others driven by impulse and momentum. A dance that reflects the shades of an intimate voyage.

https://soundcloud.com/ethosrecords

Resident on Noods Radio with his monthly show Bodañ, Speechmaker is also co-founder of
the Ethos Records label alongside Eendracht, with whom he hosts Oratio on Retreat Radio.
An active member of the Rennes-based association ÖND, he contributes as a DJ and
programmer to the RadiÖND programme on Egregore Radio. He has performed at festivals
such as Astropolis and Ethereal Decibel, and has played in several clubs in the West of
France.

Speechmaker draws inspiration from a wide range of sounds, from electro to broken beats,
bass, techno, downtempo, ambient, rap, grime, and more. Above all, he seeks to surprise
and captivate, alternating between texturally rich tracks and bold choices. A silence can
interrupt a set to capture attention, followed by a powerful groove that sets the dancefloor
ablaze.

Refusing to define himself by a single style or set formula, he navigates between tempos
and emotions, fast or slow, dark or exhilarating, controlling energy with a precision that
leaves listeners intrigued and transported. Always on the move, he fashions a sound
language all his own, designed to trigger strong emotions and open up new perspectives.

Fresh off an excellent tape for Rivet's boundary-pushing Kess Kill and one year on since the landing of his debut LP, 'Landung', German producer Stefan Junge alias @piskapower returns to Kris Baha's @power_station with a versatile six-tracker filling the space between left-of-centre electronics, pixelated new wave and jagged EBM on a rogue experimental tip. A wild bunch of freaky analogue beats to get nuts to.
