LENORE 💙R NOT

Everyone’s favourite bangin’ Brisbane duo X CLUB. ready up four typically in your face cuts of driving, textured techno on 1Ø PILLS MATE that have us dreaming of giant warehouses and sweaty hugs. Channeling big rave energy from grime, electro and breaks - and ultimately using this influence to texture their heavy sound - the pair take inspiration from the 90’s rave movement and contemporary experimental artists.

‘Turning A Blind Eye To This Nonsense’ delivers on the escapism it promises, staying true to the driven aesthetic that the duo have become known for; sirens blaring, deep atmospherics and uncompromising rave. Fellow Australian Mutant Joe is enlisted on ‘Silo’ - an acid dipped techno-electro workout spawned from the depths of hell.

The record's biggest moments arrive on ‘Beta Rays’, where both the artist's interest in sound design and sonic engineering across their respective solo projects really shines across 8 minutes of cinematic rave. Managing to capture the nostalgic rave feeling that Bicep’s ‘Glue’ channelled to roaring success, X CLUB. serve up an emotionally-driven journey that is destined to dominate sound systems around the globe.

Their UK influence is felt most heavily on ‘300mpbs’ (½ of the duo, Benedict Clarke, is actually from Bristol); a gnarly cut of snarling drum & bass influenced breaks that is sure to incite a gun-finger trigger rush in the club.

Following his 2022 ‘Natural Selection’ EP and music on Comma Trax, Troubleshoot Recordings, and Draconian Audio, Scaefa returns to La bonne musique with three nostalgic club cuts. The London party and label has built a roster of talent comprised of artists like Sempra, Small Crab and Akumen, with a catalogue of quality rave music spanning techno, bass, and breaks. “I spent a lot of time listening to 90s trance and UK jungle/hardcore pirate radio mixes whilst making these tunes, and the result is an amalgam of breaks/techno/trance and ambient moments. This project is nostalgic musically and emotionally, with the tracks made in a period of my life spent looking back/reflecting on the past. I find the music to be both euphoric and melancholic at times.” - Scaefa ‘Symbiosis’ opens up Scaefa’s ‘Ambrosia’ EP with mysterious swirling synths, anticipation building before culminating into a racy Reese bass finish, this is before ‘Locate’ continues with more breakbeats which carefully carve and slice their way through rich melodies and vibrant stabs. 

The title track is up next, pads swelling in the background as pitched-up vocals and a subtle 303 complement its fast-paced jungle drums. La bonne musique co-founder n_o, formerly known as bad internet, closes out the release, turning ‘Locate’ into a retro acid techno and house hybrid complete with exhilarating stabs and organic rhythm.

"Triptych, Vol. 1" brings three distinct perspectives on the darker edge of melodic music. Herr Nilsson delivers a tense and cinematic opening driven by deep textures and controlled rhythmic gravity. Axel Zambrano shifts the energy into sharper, more kinetic territory with tight percussion and shadowed melodic details. Balthasar Freitag closes the release with an evolving atmospheric narrative built on depth, space, and late-night tension. Each track explores its own angle of the release’s dark melodic spectrum.

KETTAMA - London Break

The lights flashed on suddenly inside the small basement, leaving dancers squinting underneath their glare. Signalling the end of the night, bodies swarmed towards the exit, making their way out into the street and into the early morning light. Huddling together, in hushed tones they began discussing their next movements, the night wouldn't be ending here. 

Warsaw-based label Ziema, the Polish for Earth, began life in March last year with an EP from label bosses Bartosz Kruczyñski (Earth Trax), Adam Brocki and Jan Wójcicki (Private Press). A natural extension of their studio in the heart of the Polish capital, the label focuses on positioning itself between the ethereal and the club, with an Eastern European touch. For release number two, the three of them come together once again, capturing different flavours of the club, from raw DJ tools to deeper, ethereal grooves and uplifting pads layered over TR-808 drums.
