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.

For the second installment of Fish Tapes new ‘Tapes’ series, they invite long time favorites and friends to make an attempt at capturing the essence of our beach gatherings. Slowly working our way up in energy, this tape is an answer to the question of what an evening should sound like.

Starting cheerfully with Fish Tapes’ own Seake and his distinctive sound, we emulate the early evenings, where things are slowly starting off. People come in, order their first refreshments and make their first moves. SYIRD & VAAGUE’s ‘Lapsang’ builds up a tempo with heavy synths and proper build-ups, for Conrad Sound’s ‘Strom’ to take away any doubts by hesitant dancers. Cyan Lu brings us back with an introspective take on club music, with dreamy vocals provided by the stellar Truphi, giving us some breathing room before Eycee really breaks up the evening with his reinterpretation of a more-than-classic vocal. Finally, there’s only one mul/ANNA to drive us home, making her production debut, almost certain to create a bigger buzz around her than there already is. The result? An auditive evening you can replay endlessly.

One year from Ayū’s debut on Harmony—Neon Affair, four artists closely connected to the release were invited to remix their favorite track from the record. The result is a new remix EP featuring a dancefloor-driven A-side, crafted for peak-time energy, and a B-side dedicated to closing sets and trippy storytelling.

Side A opens with Maara’s remix of “Space to Come”- a progressive, sexy spacey journey with muttered vocals and a blissed-out groove, blended with her iconic sound. Keeping up with the dance-floor energy, Spray delivers a dreamy yet bubbly take on “Point Nemo.” Spray’s take showcases his distinctive musical patterns, and fuzzy textures.

The B-side remix by Harmony's Alfred Czital and Jeku sends the record to late hours of party. Jeku’s version of “Neon Affair” brings driving drumlines and euphoric prog beats, layered with hypnotic, trippy touches - sweet, yet dirty. Alfred Czital closes the record with his Dream Mix of “Space to Come,” an exciting and misty journey through sound - playful, metaphysical, and the perfect closing track for extended parties.

PREMIERE: anthal phibian - Digital Swamp [39 Records]

The evolution of Caroline Lethô’s sound has been shaped by her family’s rich and diverse musical influence. Born in Portugal to Indian and African parents, a young Lethô would regularly attend her father’s jazz rehearsals where she would listen and absorb the warm woodwind tones of her father’s saxophone.

In 2015, Lethô released ‘Éter’ her breakout EP which was accompanied by a series of genre spanning mixtapes. Her formidable talent as DJ and producer was swiftly recognised in both her homebase of Lisbon, where she is now prominent figure in the city’s burgeoning underground scene, and across Europe where she has appeared at festivals and clubs like Tresor, Renate, Dekmantel Selectors, Atonal, Magentic Fields and Waking Life Festival.

Notably Caroline also co-organises ‘Mud Re Terra’ a new festival in rural Portugal, that grew from a collaboration with Spirala Ecological Village and her partner Sym Potion. It's a fusion of many cultures rooted in ecological awareness, experimental art and collective living.

A year after his last solo EP, Pire Meilleur comes back with Refractor, an ode to nocturnal gatherings.
Diving deeper in his tech-trance universe, this 4-tracker intertwines energetic rhythms and mesmerizing tones, with accents of 90s infused psychedelia.
First chapter of this journey into kaleidoscopic soundscapes, High-C set the pace with a deep rolling rumble and flickering acid lines bursting in euphoric glitter.
Carrying the dancefloor momentum, Prismatic Vision radiates syncopated organic percussions and resonant signals spiraling in delayed sparkles.
The EP’s title track, Refractor, displays a straight-forward psy groove enlightened by fractals of grainy textures and spacious squelches.
sa+ga closes the journey with a clear-sighted rework of High-C, distant voices and percussive grit calling for a last dance.

Kosh joins Craigie Knowes for his label debut record ‘Back on Track’. Kosh delivers 4 tracks packed to the brim with Detroit heritage merged with his own original style and signature Casablanca take on the origins of house, techno and the space between. Title track ‘Back on Track’ is an ever-building acid-journey guaranteed to rock in the clubs.

‘Breaksit’ gives us a chance to breathe as we embark on a trip that melds the signature Kosh and Craigie Knowes sounds into a pure and emotive composition. ‘Ridge Racer’ returns us to our feet with bounce, rhythm and octave changes to elevate your next DJ-set. ‘Digital Dilemma’ takes us from North Africa across the Atlantic to the Motor City and reminds us of everything we love about club-focussed, Detroit inspired, techno.

It’s pure Kosh and it’s pure Craigie Knowes, enjoy!
