Clash Lion co-founders Terr and Daniel Watts have been collaborating for more than a decade. Terr can do everything from epic dance floor tunes to romantic breakbeats to fresh electro. She has a fruitful relationship with Phantasy Records as well as having released on Correspondant and Hotflush. Meanwhile, Watts was part of the electro duo Digitaria alongside Terr and is now a solo artist with credits on Permanent Vacation and a desire to push himself into new musical realms. This new track is a result of one of their latest jam sessions, refined in both Barcelona and Berlin.

Say the pair, "We love the track's name, 'Bring the Future', meaning that we need the future and we need it now, because the past is not enough anymore, and we need a new way to look and deal with things and people, with more social justice, freedom and love."

The visceral track has a retro-futuristic feel with electro-vintage aesthetics. The bright bassline reverberates beneath crashing drums as twinkling synths shine up top. A vocoder vocal adds that intergalactic feel and once it all drops, the floor is sure to erupt. Hailing from the Latvian capital city of Riga, electronic brothers in arms Queer On Acid have had an impressive ascendency over the last couple of years that has included releases for Josh Wink’s Ovum Recordings and Shadow Child’s Takeout imprint. Their remix is more techno-leaning and punchy, with elastic bass and rubbery kicks leaning into the solar winds and sweeping you off your feet for a perfectly cosmic acid trip. Born and raised in Guadeloupe, second remixer Mala Ika is a French artist and one of the founders of the Media Beweird and Label Weirdos Records. She has a fresh indie dance style that shows in this remix. It is an edgy slice of chunky electroclash with pixelated synths, flashes of acid and twisted vocals all making for an intense dance floor vibe. The final original 'Clairvoyant' pairs stiff synth sequences with slapping hits to jerk you into action. The deep space pads add a grand scale as clattering percussion brings the energy and tension that keeps a crowd locked.

This is a powerful package of explosive electro inventions

Renowned German artist Jonathan Kaspar will make an eagerly-awaited return to Kompakt next month via his Umfang EP, with the four-track offering acting as his first full-length solo release on the label since March 2021. “My third Kompakt EP feels particularly special as it is the first time I’m releasing on my home label with dancefloors being open again. The result is four different tracks producing four different vibes, each of which transport my pandemic desires into today’s world.” - Jonathan Kaspar.

The title track leads the way, taking the form of a retro-leaning cut that features whirring synth stabs throughout. Kupfer comes next, a track packed full of emotive chords and a delicate underlying bassline, before Am Raster leads us to the dancefloor and beyond courtesy of minimal-laced kick patterns. Gemach, Gemach Herr Rabe ends proceedings on an incandescent note, as symphonic keys combine with intermittent crow samples to form a slice of wholesome, nature-inspired musical bliss.

Hailing from Bonn, Germany, Jonathan Kaspar is an integral part of the scene in Cologne. He is a resident at the city’s renowned Gewölbe club and also one of the current main figures at the legendary Kompakt label. His discography boasts releases on some of contemporary dance music’s most esteemed labels, including Innervisions, Cocoon Recordings and Crosstown Rebels to name a few, whilst performances at Watergate (Berlin), NDSM (Amsterdam) and Extrema Festival (Hasselt) have brought his sound to global audiences. The Umfang EP proves exactly why he has become one of Germany’s most exciting prospects in recent times and with a highlight year ahead, the future certainly shines bright for Jonathan.

Immediately following the thirsty, fluid rave anthem ‘Only For Tonight’, TERR anticipates an upcoming debut LP on Phantasy with ‘Layers’, out now digitally.

This time drawing influence from the more psychedelic impulse of her artistic palette, TERR herself guides dancers through a spoken-word meditation on the universal challenges of taming one’s inner critic, seamlessly translating the complexities of an interior life into cathartic deep-techno with a smudgy pop edge.

‘States of Mind’ meanwhile embarks into similarly psyche-centric territory, emerging as a visceral acid track designed for the most euphoric moments. Means tested worldwide, including during a recent eight-hour closing set at Panorama Bar, TERR’s natural instinct for melody and melancholy delivers her own secret weapon to prize eyes wide open, with hearts to follow.
