We’re kicking off the new year with the debut self-release from Melbourne-based artist Fefe, whose seven-track mini-LP, Sketches from Memories, drops in just a few days. This release is a reflection of Fefe’s creative journey over the past five years, capturing the evolution of his sound through a thoughtful collection of tracks.
Our premiere today, Ghost Gum, is an evocative piece that blends gentle, textured percussion with earthy synth tones and a haunting saxophone melody. The track conjures the imagery of a ritualistic dance deep within a forest, brimming with otherworldly energy.
Sketches from Memories will be available on Bandcamp starting January 15th.

PREMIERE: Fefe - Ghost Gum

Spiraling melodies and half time tempos spring to the forefront for our premiere today, titled Ravina. Portuguese artists Floating Machine and Inerte have combined talents for a contribution to the Berlin and Lisbon based event series and label, Art Bei Ton. The fifth edition of their VA series, ‘Seeing Cursed Spirits’ will soon be released that showcases a variety of sounds. All nestled within the folds of deep and hypnotic techno.

Ravina evolves, slowly but surely. Each pulse of the percussion brings new life and energy into the air. A soft pad floats in the background, ethereal and ever-shifting, creating a sense of vast space that’s peppered with bright auditory textures giving movement and spontaneity as they jump around the listener. Gradually, voices become more pronounced, their distant melodies forming a loop that seems to repeat and evolve in subtle variations, like a mantra or chant. The panning continues to play with perception, shifting focus gently from one side to the other until the ending moments as each element slowly falls away.

Art Bei Ton’s latest VA will be released on the 16th of January and includes offerings from a diverse set of artists including Viels, PEIX, and Nao Nhil.

Seeing Cursed Spirits

PREMIERE: Floating Machine & Inerte - Ravina [Art Bei Ton]

The third release on Lola Haro’s Small Steps label from Belgium sees German producer DJ Balduin step up with a contribution that embodies the label's sound. Known for his intricate, warm house basslines, clever loops, and breaks, DJ Balduin delivers a three-track EP, Everything, capturing the fleeting magic when light meets dark. Out on Valentine’s Day, 14th February, the release includes the track Somar and will be available in digital and vinyl formats via Bandcamp.

The EP is all about mood and movement. In Somar, DJ Balduin plays with a mixture of rising and melancholic pads, including distant bird chatter and playful loops. A punchy beginning, the tracks mellow into moments of bliss, offering warmth throughout. The interplay of light and dark is palpable and emotive, evoking euphoria reminiscent of sunrise sets at festivals—those moments that shift the tempo and prepare us for another day of dancing.

Small Steps and DJ Balduin captures these intangible moments with its sound: the eye contact on the dancefloor, subtle smiles, and the pull of the kick drum as we sway.

Everything

PREMIERE: DJ Balduin - Somar [Small Steps]

Through overwhelming days and times of strife, an emphasis to look inwards and reflect seems appropriate. Outside stressors abound, almost at every turn it seems as the world claws at your mental stability. Italian producer, dj and more, Simone Gatto’s forthcoming Invisible Love album on his own Pregnant Void imprint marks a response to these negative forces. Giving space, soft moments of introspection and smooth melodies that all lend well to its healing nature.

Like a deep breath, The Secret of Quantum Life slowly begins. In and out, in and out. The meditative nature can’t be ignored, Simone’s background influences coming through in spades as warm tones envelop the listener, accentuated by generative warbles providing movement and spontaneity. As the track progresses, varying swirls and melodic eddies appear, like changes in the wind.

Gatto’s Invisible Love album will be released on the 7th of February.

Invisible Love

PREMIERE: Simone Gatto - The Secret Of Quantum Life [Pregnant Void]

Time flies—what started as a platform to spotlight music we love has reached an incredible milestone: our 500th premiere. Over the years, we've witnessed trends emerge, evolve, and transform into something entirely new. Within these 500 premieres, we've featured a kaleidoscope of styles and genres, but at the heart of it all, the music has always been deep, introspective, and original—an authentic reflection of the artists who create it.
We're thrilled to present Ojalá by Dutch artist Love Over Entropy for this special occasion. Taken from the long-awaited album "To Sit Quietly Where Everything Is Moving Fast," set to be released via Something Happening Somewhere, this track radiates optimism and quiet determination—qualities that feel perfectly encapsulated in its title.
Ojalá unfolds with gentle confidence, its uplifting keys and delicate arpeggiator lines moving together like a conversation that flows without effort. There's an understated elegance here—a lightness that never veers into excess. Each element breathes in unison, giving the track a natural, organic momentum.
The word ojalá, with its roots in hope and possibility, feels like a guiding principle for the music. It's as if Love Over Entropy has captured that sentiment and translated it into sound: a wish carried forward, subtle but powerful.
With this milestone premiere, we're reminded of why we started this platform: to share moments like this, where music connects us not just to each other but to something more profound.
Here's to the next 500 premieres—and to Ojalá, a track that reminds us of the beauty in looking forward.

Hamatsuki - Advanced Apathy

Beneath the glimmering lights of the city he ran amidst tall buildings as his feet tread heavily upon the pavements and concrete. He had developed a high sweat under the glow and gleam of the moonlight, this was supposed to be exercise but it felt more like a chore. He ran past groups of friends who'd had one too many, he ran past lonely souls who'd lost themselves to the desk job long ago and he wandered past the posers who knew little for their deeper purpose on this earth. This was a brief insight to the city which engulfed his world around him, he cared little for whether it might still be there when he woke tomorrow. 

Auf Togo Meets Becker & Mukai on a new EP recorded for SaS Recordings here in London. A tribal, krautrock inspired house infusion of the utmost quality. Good vibes guaranteed.

Auf Togo Meets Becker & Mukai

PREMIERE: Auf Togo Meets Becker & Mukai - High Sweat [SaS Recordings]

Slow and smooth build up with an intense but mellow peak that just goes on and on. It fills you with empathy and intense sensation heightening. SWIM smoked a joint halfway through and melted into the couch. It’s perfect for a rolling party with a group of friends, though SWIM imagines it would be great for a proper party too. Sometimes SWIM felt like dancing, but spent most of the time staring into space. This is really nice, intense, smooth and mellow. Get ahold of these if you get the chance!

Note: Your experience will vary depending on your settings. If you're in a bad place with bad people, you won’t feel a thing.

🎧 Chill Beats Spotify

Spring Love 🎧 chillhop | jazzhop | lofi hip hop mix

Inspiration can come through many different avenues. From sounds heard in passing conversations, to the hustle and bustle of a city center. Or perhaps a drive among nature that seems particularly tranquile. 

Our focus today lands squarely on the last as we’re delighted to premiere ‘Sleepy Tree’, from Inter Gritty and the Controlled Violence collective. The track starts slow and airy, a favorite vibe of ours here at Fiction Lab. The spacy pads soon give way to a hauntingly melodic bass line that continues throughout, providing a few highs and lows. Further along, a simple lead is introduced shifts attention and provides a nice finish over the top of the track. To quote Controlled violence themselves, “tracks like Sleepy Tree integrate twinkling, hollow, and delicate elements. Basslines bound up mountain ranges, synth pulses reverberate through the treetops, and groovy percussion captures the excitement and energy of the local scenery.”
 
The vinyl and associated digital releases will be out soon, coming on the 14th of June, as Sleepy Tree will be joined by three other tracks to round out an analog heavy EP titled, Laponia Space Project.

Longlost - Take 8
A1 Take 8
A2 Take 8 (Kevin Devin Interpretation)
B1 Take 8 (Taraval & Jackie House Remix)

It is rare that simplicity and recognizability happen in dance music, but ‘Take 8’ is just that. A song so heartfelt and recognizable it demanded its own slab of wax. This expertly mixed and crafted house cut romances listeners into a catchy live piano ditty that could go on for days.

The label decided the piano ​should​ go on and set up NYC classical Pianist and friend of Honey Soundsystem crew Kevin Devine on a blind date with the producers for the A2. Kevin whipped up a compositional response to the original and it was recorded live on a Grand in LA-4A’s studio. Finally, to make it a family affair, Taraval, known for his work of Four Tet’s TEXT, teams up with label co-founder Jackie House for a kraut-no take on the original, fusing vacillating resonant bleeps and robust drums with glimpses of the original’s ethereal sounds.

Longlost - Take 8

“When nothing else remained on this earth to mine, when there were no more fish or mollusks or plants, and little clean, nor temperate, air left to breathe … a mass migration of consciousness looked to cyberspace; neurological data uploaded for a chance of a new virtual existence within only screens. But the digital world, much like the world it was born from, is built upon the same biases which destroyed it in the first place. A world within a world is equally finite - and the utopian ideals of an ungoverned second life found old principles (or lack thereof), merely copied and pasted over from its irl predecessor. With the bandwidth exceeded; they banned those which offered less power, less good behaviour, less money. But upkeep the server of the elite, and you shall gain entry.”

The latest sonic output of artist-producer-dj-polymath Moonbow comes served in the form of a 12” vinyl on West Friends: the imprint spearheaded by South London’s Rye Wax & FYI Chris. After three years of quietly producing, Moonbow’s name is most familiar within the London nightlife scene, where — alongside their work within SIREN collective — they are known for their colourful DJ sets & mixtapes, leading to a mention in Crack Magazine’s “Top 10 Mixes of 2018”, guest mixing on Rinse FM and contributing to Honey Soundsystem’s mix series. These sonic tapestries are an exercise in storytelling that is at once euphoric and melancholic, whilst delving into both the old and new. Often known to make an appearance are chopped 'n' spliced vocals, silky psychedelic melodies, and bass vibrations so heavy that no nearby drinks are safe from spillage.

These characteristics can certainly be found on BNND WDTH, where the A-side is a tense build up of transcendental textures and rhythms that moves ever closer towards the dance floor compared to Moonbow’s earlier releases. On the side B, Discwoman affiliate and Toronto’s favourite one-to-watch Ciel takes the helm on a psychedelic breaks rework (one you may have seen many an “ID?” for in THAT Crack Magazine mix from SIREN DJs).

Fjordfunk, Jackmaster Dahle, Kango Sten Massiv, Jann Dahle goes by many names, but since the early 2000’s he’s been making esoteric beat music across these platforms with music that travelled from cut n paste house of Kyd & Kango to the electro funk of Fjordfunk. After a long period of inactivity, Dahle has returned to fray with a new EP as Fjordfunk and a special one off performance for this Boiler Room event.
