This October, the final reading of the Nationality and Borders Bill – known as the Anti-Refugee Bill – will be presented to parliament. If it goes through, this Bill will allow the UK to reject an estimated 9,000 asylum seekers who are currently eligible to claim settlement every year.

Electronic dance music culture is rich because of the people who make it up. Diversity is built into the UK’s roots: it is what enables our music to thrive. At Pollination, we refuse narratives that separate and dehumanise people. Instead, embracing the deep human values of unity, care and connection.

Join us in celebrating the blend of backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives that form the fabric of our scene. As members of the UK’s creative community, we come together to stand against this cruel and inhumane Bill. We believe that the UK, our home, is a place that welcomes all people.

100% of the profit raised from the campaign and event will be sent to Kent Refugee Action Network (KRAN), a brilliant independent charity who work with young people to rebuild their lives after arriving unaccompanied in the UK to seek asylum.

Junction Forest is back with its second Shroom, this time by the well named notorious Wesphalian trance duo.. Trancesetters Of Westphalia.
3 trippy cuts coming right from the heart of the woods, 
Pulse of The Trees is before all the untold stories of what is happening when the forest sleeps, 
what can't be seen but be sensed, 
what can't be conceived but be felt,
what is being concocted deep inside the woodland, beneath the brambles, where the sunlight barely makes its way through, where the darkest things happen...

Alvar - Moon Ritual [NIGHT001]

1. Braised
2. Communing
3. Broken Through
4. Braised (al dente remix)

After seven years since his last release, label CEO Mr Assister makes a long-overdue return to beam. Across four tracks, including a remix from close friend of the label, al dente, the EP explores the rhythmic and psychoactive spaces between techno, tek haus, and minimal psy. Opening the EP, ‘Braised’ juxtaposes two sensibilities, situating playful grooves amid droning, disaffected atmospheres. ‘Communing’ builds on the rolling templates of psychedelic trance, with swarms of glitched-out percussion and pads that reveal traces of melancholia. In ‘Broken Through’, four-four kicks dip their toes into streams of acid, reflecting textures of technological breakdown. Rounding off the EP, al dente reimagines ‘Braised’ via his signature brand of warping swamp-tek.

Written and produced by Mr Assister. 
Stem mastering (tracks 1-3) and mastering (track 4) by Pearson Sound. 
Artwork by Victoria Martínez.

Alvar - I Need (NIGHT001)

Priori’s hit EP Pareidolia gets a well deserved remix treatment. The relation between Priori and Midgar started early 2023 with the release of his Pareidolia EP, where a remix for Keplrr followed quickly the year after. Now, early 2025, a group of close friends and admired artists were invited to rework the Pareidolia’s originals.

Midgar affiliate Forest Drive West uses the opportunity to present not one but two remixes. Presenting one half-time 85 bpm twist of Hazard and another slow-paced murky techno groover. Originally from Montreal, Maara forms the Canadian connection and she turns Memory Palace into a beautiful bouncy dub-techno floater. Sound experimentalist Notte Infinita takes his turn on Pareidolia’s title track and creates some magnificent eyes-closed drum & bass hypnotism. At last, Amsterdam’s upsammy brings back the light with her iconic playful approach. She flips the steady groove of Glass Shards into a jumpy interplay of rhythms and joy.
