This four-part aural experience emulates a gentle atmosphere of hyaline translucence, paired with an optimistic glossiness that gently reflects a warming light with a softening glow. Weightlessly swimming through a sky of drifting clouds, you softly ascend into a higher realm of radiant love.

‘I Remember My Dreams’ sonically depicts a futuristic utopianism, a world gleaming with hope and a positive future. A beautifully soft landing in a desert of clouds that fade into distant skies.

Weightless, drifting pads glide effortlessly amongst pristine drums, uplifting acid lines, a rhythmic reminder of a harmonic appreciation for ones own existence. We dream for a beautiful world, that once observed can bring light to any world living in darkness. A well deserved day in paradise, mind reclined and a softened gaze as you stare up at the vivid fractal skies in wonder.

‘Fatswoop (2002 Mix)’ is a soundtrack to a leisurely cruise through our planets exosphere. Above the clouds, perfect blue hues fade into the shaded void of outer space. Translucent synth lines of a delicate purity compliment the progressive, slowly-evolving bassline, which cohesively maintains a perfect level of lethargy in the tracks sonic trajectory. Glistening chromatics shimmer elegantly throughout, reflecting light like freshly polished chrome. Enchanting twinkles diffuse like the scattered stars that populate the endless space above. The destination is great, but here, the journey is much greater.

‘Downtown Trip’ emulates walking down a neon-lit street at a leisurely pace, whilst the glowing signage above reflects abstracted colours on the smooth panelwork of brushed aluminium. Another track which nods to the past with a futurist infusion, retro snares pierce through the layers of ever-rising arp's that feel like ascending through the stratosphere. Glossy pads that reflect the soft lighting of the sky above, all tied together with an organic low-end that holds a warming groove with it's flawlessly arranged structure.

It pulsed from floating speakers, entwined with the light hums of hovercars zipping past. The city pulsed with life, a dreamscape of metallic buildings and holographic billboards sometimes flickering with static.

‘The Beach’ is a calming, gentle experience that emulates atomic dissipation from your physical self into the surrounding atmosphere. Weightless, delicate particles sway in clouds of ethereal movement. Dancing slowly with gratitude for natures geometry. Soft, comforting pads of nurturing beauty breathe in rhythmic expansion, infused with breezy vocals like whispers from an angelic realm high above the sky. Warming twinkles decorate the space throughout like the reflection of the high sun on slow-moving waters. Drift with the stars, the atoms and the dust. Become nothing as you become everything. We are one here.

ED051, Second Contact’s DJ set, is inspired by the ethos of Fight Club and the idea of embracing personal liberation through self-destruction and chaos.    Influenced by both the film’s structure and tempo, the mix is framed by symmetry and the concept of bookending in filmmaking; a structural technique where the beginning and ending scenes reflect one another. The set starts strangely with a mundane sense of repetition and polished emptiness gradually evolving into unrestrained intensity before retreating back into itself.

releases September 17, 2025

The first long player to drop on Radiant Records is Pansy Beat, the debut album from label head Byron Yeates.

The ten tracks on Pansy Beat are suffused with Byron’s musical influences, showcasing the full breadth and depth of his sonic world. Woven with subtle nods to the UK rave continuum, the album reverberates with the sounds of ’90s London radio that soundtracked Byron’s early years.

Starry-eyed IDM, jangly electronica, rolling drum and bass, and playful references to new wave and synth-pop converge alongside the rich tapestry of house music on which Yeates has built his reputation as a DJ and producer.

Carefully arranged and seamlessly flowing, the tracks balance playful charm with serious intent — insouciant basslines, glossy synths, dreamy pads, and moody atmospherics are laced with clever sampling and intricate percussion — a journey to the end of the night that tiptoes between euphoria and melancholy with a subversively camp pop sensibility.

Sitting somewhere between a dance music and home listening album, Pansy Beat echoes the mood of a DJ set from Byron Yeates: an intimate, seductive, and playful collection of tracks, grounded by a classic sensibility shaped by a lifetime of musical word-building.

BYRON YEATES - PANSY BEAT

You hear a pulsating rhythm. What does it mean when the intensity rises? Is it the blood rushing from the sound of the drum that brings meaning or is it the anticipation of what’s next?

Kasra V’s returns to his budding V-sion imprint with its third installation. This latest offering brings us to the totality of physicality, where grooves and melodies do not require a resolution. The tracks bring to mind the unbridled maverick spirit of early Techno and Tribal House where the rulebook was tossed into flames and only the unfettered psyche remained.

Keeping the spirit of experimentation alive, Kasra’s affinity for manipulating samples and sounds in obscure ways shines through with playful nods to both industrial and early Midwest dance music alike.

Unchaining the shackles of where dance music has gone wrong, Kasra is trying to maintain the connection to a time when bodies moved to the beat religiously and held reverence only for the speaker stack.

Drum hypnosis is beginning now. Please enter the room and have a seat.
