Narciss' Latest EP for Lobster Theremin, Dear Diary, is an emotionally charged journey through smoked-filled rooms and packed-out corridors; lasers, strobes and wide eyes. As much a throwback to the golden era of trance as it is an ode to the producers techno aesthetic, it encapsulates an energy release - an escape from the grimness of the mundane, the fear of contemporary society left at the door as we venture further front left.

Artist: Narciss
Title: Lovechild
Label: 1Ø PILLS MATE
Catalogue: 1ØPILLS022
Format: 12” Vinyl & Digital
Release date: 1st April

Hot on the heels of last year's Dear Diary EP on Lobster Theremin, explosive performances on HÖR and an intimate interview with celebrated German publication Groove Magazine, frequent Berlin & Leipzig DJ Narciss comes through with four deep and groovy cuts of bass-driven techno.

‘Feather Boa Constrictor’ features one of Copenhagen’s most exciting emerging producers in recent years - Vixen - fresh off her own acclaimed release, Hard Magik For Soft Souls, on Lobster Theremin in December. Now the pair link up on the DJ Mag Breakthrough Label of the Year imprint that blends all the best elements of the Berlin and Copenhagen scenes in a high-speed trip through psy-trance, synth-wave and techno.

Narciss is on his ones as we enter the A2; ‘Lovechild (Outrun Mix)’ is aptly named with its reference to the 1986 arcade game Outrun, which featured some of the best video-game music to ever be created. Deep basslines, swirling synth-stabs and a soothing deepness and contemplativeness that can only come with driving a virtual car down a never-ending highway.

‘Tokyo’ makes use of polyrhythms and textures blended with what sounds like an old Sampha record. It’s a wonderful combination of dark, deep and forward-thinking sound, before Copenhagen producer Repro comes through with a typically EBM-focused remix combining elements of every track.

Following up on a standout inaugural EP by Alpha Tracks, KI/KI’s slash imprint now presents a mighty 8-track compilation of propulsive trance, split over two equally potent parts. The compilation contains a selection of dancefloor favourites curated by KI/KI herself that have been intensively road tested during her gigs in the past year.
 
Opening slash002, Copenhagen’s Peachlyfe delivers a deviously ambient interlude. Rising into a transcendent crux, 'Sane & Awake’ flirts with breakbeat’s signature percussive style, teasing a drop, before taking a U-turn, panning out into evermore blissful peaks. Full of bounce, DJ Lucid brings the build with ‘Entry Plug’, drawing together dramatic strings and a pounding kick drum, while Narciss expertly splices up a haunting vocal fragment on ‘Once More With Feeling.’ Geared towards festival stages – huge crowds and height-of-the-night summer climaxes – the record takes its cues from the hedonism of the 1990s, delivering a powerful punch that's anything but backward facing. DJ Car Keys, part of Dutch-pop sensation Goldband, makes a special appearance in his debut as a solo producer. Closing the B-side, ’Spinning’ is a 155-bpm belter, where a looped hit-hat collides with psychedelic spoken word passages.
 
slash003 turns more introspective, recalling darkened, brooding club basements. Launching off, DJ Hyperdrive more than lives up to his namesake. ’Starburst’ rockets at light speed, its space-age momentum conjuring a retrofuturist fantasy. Amour Noir’s ’Sunday Morning’ is a love letter to dance floors, its choral-style vocal and gliding synth alluding to the reverence of liturgical music. Tbilisi’s Bassiani resident Newa transposes a wiggy acid bassline onto a steely techno pulse, then for ‘Astral Recall’ (one of KI/KI’s most played songs of 2022) Arman John partners a driving beat with a lucid melody, crafting a hybrid flex that melds genres and moods seamlessly. Plunging into darkness before emerging into sunlit euphoria, slash003 channels a vital feature of every masterful DJ set – the emotional journey of contrasting styles and atmospheres, set in motion by adrenaline-fuelled beats.

Release date: 21 April 2023 

Amsterdam based DJ, producer and label owner KI/KI releases her long awaited debut EP on her own slash imprint. The highly anticipated anthem 'Leave it to the vibe' is doing rounds in her DJ sets for over two years now and made a big impact on her notorious Boiler Room performance during AVA Festival back in 2021. Finally, two years later she found the right time and place for it and it's getting a well deserved release on her fast growing slash label.

On slash004 KI/KI reworks the original in three different ways. The original perfectly shows where KI/KI flourishes at the moment, it's a fast-paced high energy dancefloor anthem with a nostalgic deep trance drift using her own vocals incorporated in hypnotic loops. For the reworks on the b-side she stripped down the original into two new versions. Where 'To the vibe (rework)' highlights a subtle twinkle that illuminates the beauty of melodies, 'Leave it to the drums' could be seen as the dub version capturing an impeccable energy that represents the late night, strobo heavy warehouse energy where KI/KI finds her comfort zone.

KI/KI - To The Vibe(rework)

"Planet 4" is a bold and cutting-edge techno EP from Danish producer Kallax, merging industrial intensity with sleek, futuristic soundscapes. The EP unfolds like a journey into a metallic, cybernetic world, where each track pulses with mechanical precision and raw, powerful energy. Heavy, driving basslines and sharp, angular synths dominate the sound, creating an immersive atmosphere that feels both imposing and captivating, like stepping into a sonic armor built for the rave.

Kallax skillfully balances complexity and minimalism, layering intricate rhythms and cold, steely textures while leaving space for moments of eerie, ambient calm. "Planet 4" showcases his ability to create a sound that is at once deeply atmospheric and relentlessly physical, inviting listeners into a world of dark, industrial techno that feels both human and machine.

Kallax - Dwa

Inspired by his trip to Hong Kong during the pro-democracy protests, @bauernfeind first solo release lunges into hard Techno, driving EBM and Trance. While side A is driven by EBM themed tracks, side B hits a more mellow note with the Trance induced Kowloon City and it's ambient counterpart Kowloon's Reprise.
