Do we ever have enough of uplifting breakbeat? The type that overloads on hope and outpouring happiness? 
Based in Porto, Portugal, Rave Child is off to an exciting start with the new label and event series, Kokölò. True “to move forward” meaning behind its name, the label ethos focuses on a specific mood or state of freedom rather than a particular genre. 

In the inaugural ‘The Birth’ EP,  no-face-entity Rave Child captured that feeling of a soul discovering the dancefloor for the first time with all its naivety and joy. United in the use of breaks, and chopped voices meld with dreamy melodies, each track on the three-track EP takes on the unique, nostalgia permeated sonic gradient. Mastering by Vril and Andreas Lubich, aka Loop-o, make this package easy not to miss. 

Feel like a kid again on properly induced euphoria aka the album’s opener ‘It never was.’ Daydreaming at the heart of playful lights and colors, beaming to a point of galvanized innocence, getting loose in some utopian infinity; this track lifts spirits and launches moves like nobody watches. Do we ever want to have enough of it?

PREMIERE: Rave Child - It Never Was [Kokölò]

Today’s premiere comes in the form of the opener track from “A Long Way,” Jacques Bon, and Drux’s forthcoming album. 
The 8-track LP starts with a bass-heavy, celestial-sounding one-minute opening scene, after which a steady kick enters, surely bound to push every dance floor it’s played on into a frenzy. A breakdown follows shortly after, topped by a subtle, chopped vocal sample. A second breakdown occurs, decreasing the energy even more before erupting into insanity again. The track sets the tone for the rest of the album: deep, dubby, and sophisticated. 

The entire release has common thematic elements woven through it yet is never dull or repetitive. Some are slow-burners perfect for warming up floors, and some will serve as big, memorable peak-time moments. Overall, an incredibly impressive album that will inevitably receive an extremely warm welcome upon its release. Business as usual from the renowned Smallville.

“A Long Way" LP will be out on Smallville on July 1, 2022.

A Long Way

PREMIERE: Jacques Bon & Drux - Distant Voices [Smallville Records]

Berlin-based Christopher Ledger has been in great form over the past few years. With appearances on Dial, collaborations with Dana Ruh, a release on Cristi Cons and Vlad Caia's Amphia, Ledger's music has become a staple in the sets of artists who play deep, dubby techno all the way to Romanian minimal DJs.

We're happy to feature "Without Warning", the B2 track from his upcoming "Anticipation" EP coming out on Adam's Bite. 

Convoluted basslines, sharp high hats and airy pads intertwine throughout the track, making us sure this will be played out plenty of times by many artists in the foreseeable future. 

The seventh release on the Swiss label will come out on December 2, 2022, with a stripped version of Interchange added as a bonus to the digital version.

Berlin-based producer Adelina kick starts her new record label Oracool with a various artist compilation named 'Sins', piecing together a crop of Ukrainian and international artists delving deep through bass-heavy electro, Crimean neo-trance, utopian breaks and tactile techno...For this special occasion, we've selected 'Ten Beeps' by Rustam as our premiere. Over the course of nearly 7-minutes, the Kiev-based producer delivers a high-spirited reverie through uncanny valleys of serenity, weaving a dazed-out soundscape with celestial strings, acid-infused 303 bass, fleet-footed breakbeat rhythms and interludes filled with ultra-freak FX frequencies.

Writing On The Body

British-Persian DJ and producer @nickon_faith returns to Manual Smiles with his new Synthesis EP — a deep dive into genre-blurring psychedelia and detailed sound design. Building on the world he set out with 2024’s Digital Moss, the EP moves through tense arpeggios, biting acid lines, shadowy low-end pressure, and misty, dream-state atmospheres.
