Roza Terenzi - Rizzle Me This  [Amniote Editions x Mala Junta]

Astral VIP (and more) are here to remedy the monotony! by rehashing what you’ve already heard? but alas, no one is perfect. Outliers and outcasts have always created pockets in the mould of the city, smoke and wubs away from the lights and hammer. This collection of 14 tracks comes from such a dent, representative of different scenes all dedicated to this approach, coming from dank corners, away from big business.

Our offering is a tribute to the mix CDs of dance before (Global Underground et al), with AVIP’s very own Dugong on the 1s and 2s blending contributions from analogous crew into one continuous mix. Future-past made present, for potentially discontinued CD drives. For the sake of tangibility, in times that surge ahead regardless.

All profits from this compilation are being donated to 3EZWA Legal Fund, to help financially assist those facing draconian legal fees as part of the current protest movement in solidarity with Palestine & Lebanon.

---------

GIVE IN TO SIN. From within the long-locked tombs of lesbian lore smoke rises and draws its whispering curtain across the wide open sky...and where there’s smoke, there’s fire. Secrets concealed by thick drunken clouds resurfaces naked truths in the last gasps of smouldering ashes. 

Oh you thought it would stay a secret? We’ve let sleeping lezzies lie long enough. It’s time to face the music. Welcome to BIG WHOOPS… Maara’s inaugural offering on her new label, Ancient Records. With this driving debut, Maara excavates the scrolls, archives, and dossiers upon which our past was built and our future depends. 

A wish for a world of sweet sapphic symbiosis—a fantasy, perhaps, or a waking dream? Nothing is promised except for right now. The past manifests in the present, both a blessing and a curse. Ancient Records fulfills your dark club fantasies as Maara unearths simmering secrets and hidden truths in a rapturous ushering in of a new era. Never forget where you came from, and just wait until you see where we’re going...

Maara - Big Whoops (ANCIENT 01)

Pre-order: https://maricasrecords.bandcamp.com/album/maara-d-tiff-s-anthems-for-lezzies

@maara and @d-tiffany present a dancefloor lelenovela in five acts, 'Maara & D. Tiff’s Anthems for Lezzies' on @maricasmaricas - a debaucherous night of sapphic situations, captured sonically by salacious sounds, titillating tempos, and booming, brazen basslines.

The night begins with 'The M Word' - a summoning. An unmistakable, iconic mantra surges in and out like a siren, pulling in every lesbian of a certain era. Beneath it, a rude, rolling bassline writhes under fidgety, restless bleeps and crispy hats.

Maara - Asexual Horndog

The second EP from label bosses djfix & jek delivers seven dancefloor-ready tracks, fusing hazy percussion, twisted synthesis, and ethereal, granulated vocal chops into a deep, rolling journey through sounds made for an outdoor system. An homage to early West Coast breaks—desert style—reimagined through the Earth Dog sound.

On remix duties, we’ve tapped two favs: Human Space Machine & Blu:sh. HSM twists the source material into head-spinning hypnosis, while Bl:ush crafts a shadowy, driving, percussive trip built for the early morning heads.

Weirdies Records is proud to welcome rougail space program in the team with his first official release, like ECLT before him. This marks the second occurence in the label freshly created by Parisian boy Jon Beige already heard on labels such as Global Warming Records or R.W.A., also a Rinse France resident for a few months. The global recipe remains the same : singular music, risky and full of attitude, accompanied by a mystical visual universe signed by Louis Ziéglé.

Maxime quickly made a name for himself in Paris those last few years, via addictive edits to get started, that quickly became « SoundCloud hits ». That’s how his moniker appeared on tracklists from French techno brightest stars like Anetha, François X, Bambounou or Elise Massoni without ever having released music in an formal way. In the center of a whirlwind mixing various influences, he developed his ear from La Station bass nights to his friends GЯEG’s Rex Club residence. He became a regular in La Créole’s crowd, one of Paris’ hottest parties, and then behind the decks. In march, like an apotheosis, he literally mystified the current best club in town essaim, with an already legendary set, opening for Rroxymore and DJ Plead.

After having released some well-chosen tracks on compilations, like Jerry Horny, it was about time to sail by his own, keeping his energetic and clubby production skills without sticking to it too much. He wanted to compose something that will look like a small album where each track would have its own influences and singularity. Like a dish that mixes sweetness, bitterness, acidity, vivacity, but mostly taste, those five tracks feed off each other perfectly in changing balances. First tracks’ melancholy and depth bring an introspective, almost romantic note to the next ones, bursting with energy.

Boarding Area opens with a soft waterfall of marine notes, an organic ode to liminal spaces specific to the seabed, and continues with Late Nite Gaze, a Beatles techno getaway, that is reminiscent of Barker or Basic Channel’s work. The ground is prepared for 417 Tool, futuristic energy monolith with funny spices, a post-covid demo from Maxime enhanced Pimp My Ride’s way by Jon Beige’s sharp tools. Speaking about car tunning, Tamarin Sex, EP’s first single with bubbling and jersey influences, pays an in-your-face tribute to the « car bass » culture from his native Reunion Island. Shepherd’s Bush wrap it all up transposing those vibes threw the prism of his Parisian rides best memories.

A true royal rebel without a cause joins the Step Ball Chain chosen family. Berlin psy-con Yazzus presents a sexy sweatfest; a four track original EP featuring DJ Fuckoff of tech-trodden club stompers that will shake and break you. Operating in a lane of her own, she draws on her UK roots with bass laden bounce and never forgets to add that sapphic touch crucial to SBC. “Rebel Royale” is keeping techno freaky, cheeky and ahead of the curve.  

Quintessentially out of control, elements of tension and release are toyed with throughout all the tracks, the building and driving addictive synth work in Venom & Vision; Serpent’s Rising sending even the most sane into a spiral. Basslines come thick and heavy, chunky by nature and particularly prevalent in Delicately Mad and My Lipgloss My Rules, they are the backbone of the record. Don’t get it twisted, this isn’t some run of the mill techno; the modular bleeps and freakouts, FX and vocals are wired and inspired; the glue showcasing Yazzus’s fully sick technical abilities. Last but not least, she entails the help of friend DJ Fuckoff; haunted slippery vocals are a match made in heaven for the percussive psy workout Erotica.

Yazzus - Rebel Royale (STEP16)

“Jaber” is a practical shortcut for the German phrase “Ja, aber...” (“Yes, but...”). Jan Oben uses it as a tool to shift moods and twist expectations—just when you think you’ve got it figured out. 
As his second release, the track builds on his focus on driving rhythm, while the restrained melody creates a feeling that wouldn’t be complete without that quiet little “but.”
