Floating in nebulous and sublime, @broshuda inaugurates his No Vacancy alias on @kinlaw's @ceramicslabel label.

The eponymous album strips his trademark sound down to a suite of minimalistic, meditative environments. This isn’t quite ambient, nor is it drone, but slots nicely into the German artist’s discography. 

Leaving listeners in a state of suspense, our premiere dials the drowsy, hypnogogic qualities up to truly mesmeric effect. Quietly cathartic and cloaked in lo-fi haze.

It is our great honor to share with you the next expression by Hunt & Gather label founder and House music raconteur Pezzner. In his latest tale Pezzner, ever the eclecticist and vanguard, transcribes grandiose orchestral expression, Broadway vocal jazz, exalted post-disco, and Balearic tones into a format that we can all gather and dance to. This is "Sunrising" and it comes accompanied by two reinterpretations: a propellant electric disco romp by label partner Doza, and a sterling but jovial expression by Deep House legend (and our dear friend) Fred Everything. This release is capped off by Pezzner's playful and flowing reperformance of Herb Alpert's dancefloor classic "Rise".

The artwork was created by Robbie Busch, DC Comics writer and penciler.
We're very excited about the support this release has from global DJs and radio selectors like Laurent Garnier, LTJ Bukem, Purple Disco Machine, Jamie Jones, Jimpster, Felix / Basement Jaxx, Art of Tones, Sasha, Mano Le Tough, Emanuel Satie, 1979, Danny Rampling, Mousse T, Auntie Flo, Robosonic, Ben Mono, Timo Maas, Anoraak, Severino / Horse Meat Disco, Eelke Kleijn, John Digweed, and others. But more importantly, we hope you enjoy it, too.

DC Promo Tracks #1046: Two Ends "Frame of Mind" (LOVA Remix)

Loft Music by Ian Vale is the latest release on Paisley Dark Records.
Inspired heavily by David Mancuso and the famous parties at the 
Loft in NYC in the early 70’s, Ian’s original track is an acid tinged 
prime time oor ller, which captures the essence of those heady 
days and demands to be played in it’s entirety and on nothing but 
the best sound systems. This is a party starter !!!
Included on the EP are great remixes from Mindbender, who takes 
the listener on a blissed out balearic dub excursion in to outerspace.
Paisley Dark regulars Jezebell, weigh in with a DC Go-go inspired 
workout which brings the funk to the disco whilst retaining the dark 
of the paisley.
33rd December nish of the release with their trade mark super 
slow chug, perfect for any warm up set.

This November, favoured Sydney selector and crate digger Marco Vella, a.k.a Body Corp, returns with an EP of eight songs collected over the years from various bedrooms, backyards and coastal retreats.

Doing what he does best, Vella peppers this record with balearic synths and dreamy swells, creating an atmospheric anthology of vignettes that could just as easily soundtrack a long train ride through the Italian countryside as they are at home in Sydney’s quiet bays and bywaters. A drive through the desert, a walk through coastal mangroves, a hungover sharehouse in the city’s crumbling inner suburbs - somehow all can be found between the pages of this short and beautiful collection.

A prolific producer and always active on the Sydney DJ circuit, Vella is known for his ambient mixes for the likes of Sanpo Disco, Ear to Ear, Best Effort and Theory Therapy. He has also contributed tracks to CC: Disco’s ‘First Light’ compilation, the Interior Music series, and Plastic World Vol. 1.

When he isn’t working solo, Vella performs as part of Retiree, with releases on London’s scene-defining Rhythm Section label.

@cocktailpartyeffectmusic latest extended player on @midnight-shift offers a broad survey of his sound. Closing track ‘111’ is theatrical and extravagant, but, like the rest of the tracks here, not without an abrasive edge.

Since 2012, Melbourne’s Rohan Newman has recorded as Roland Tings, bringing his now trademark organic touch to the dance and electronic community. Following last year's sun-soaked album Salt Water, the producer returns with a new EP, First Wave. Rather than following suit of the highly collaborative album that preceded it, First Wave signals a return to Newman’s instinctive and solitary approach to songwriting, the same ethos that guided him while crafting his earliest Roland Tings material.

Drawing inspiration from his coastal surroundings, First Wave is liquid, malleable and oil-slick. Opener “Lights on the Headland” pulses with acid chirps and inky synths. “Down The Line” and “Orange Circle” take a softer focus, their melodies peeking out from a humid haze like sunbursts through the marine layer. The title track captures the essence of the EP — a feeling of euphoric come-up — before the closing track “Leaving” brings the pace down, gently undulating at a slower tempo as if underwater.

The sonic throughlines on First Wave are clear: drum machines and 80s snare, swirling pads with rolls of bass, and glittering arpeggios that channel shimmering sea creatures under the water’s surface. Like liquid, it all seamlessly flows, but it’s an undercurrent of intuition and melody that unites the music as distinctly Roland Tings.
