Under Tangled Silence

Sycamore

Unweaving

Copenhagen based producer oqbqbo (@oqbqbo) weaves ambient, euphoric dance music that feels both otherworldly and oddly familiar - a sonic realm where eurodance memories flicker through the haze of contemporary club music. Wordless vocals haunt her tracks like half-remembered dreams, not telling stories, but becoming an instrument of emotional texture rather than narrative clarity.

Since 2019, oqbqbo has been part of the world around Posh Isolation. Her work moves between solo pieces and collaborations - recently with Scandinavian Star on "In This Together" an album released in April 2025.

The new Liquid Palms compilation arrives as a portrait of the diversity and energy driving today’s scene, and as a statement of the spirit that has defined the label since its inception: a community bound by a shared vision, the constant pursuit of emotion, and the freedom to explore without limits.

The V.A. gathers both rising voices and seasoned names under one creative horizon. Andrea Zarco embodies the force of Barcelona’s new wave with an energetic cut marked by her unmistakable vocal touch, while Tucan Discos – a legend of the edit world and a fixture in countless DJ sets – unveils a progressive-tinged, break-driven gem, a glimpse into the hidden arsenal that has made him such a singular digger.

The narrative deepens with Djoan, a close friend of the label and master of hypnotic acid-house journeys, and Daniel Dez, a veteran producer who delivers an introspective, emotive track that showcases the maturity of a sound in constant evolution.

Liquid Palms’ founder Breezy S reveals a more intimate side with a slow-burning, atmospheric piece blending breaks and deep house, contrasting with the high-energy releases he’s shared this year. Closing the circle, Marthes – one of Chile’s most prolific and exciting artists of the past year – contributes a luminous 90s-inspired progressive anthem, where relentless basslines and expansive pads intertwine in a hypnotic, magnetic tension.

Carefully curated and sequenced, the compilation flows through different states of mind, rewarding both attentive listening and the dancefloor. A mosaic of grooves, atmospheres, and emotions, it reflects the present and projects the future of Liquid Palms: a place where tradition, innovation, and community converge in the shape of a V.A.

Systematic Recordings is back with more techno brilliance from main man Marc Romboy in collaboration with Rafael Cerato & Astrid James.

Romboy is a long-standing figure in electronic music who blends deep, melodic techno with analogue warmth and emotional depth. Rafael Cerato also brings a powerful fusion of techno, house, and cinematic soundscapes and Astrid James is one of France's most exciting talents with a darker, rolling sound.

Down For Business is packed with attitude thanks to the vocal - a spoken word monologue on artistry. It rides on chunky and rubbery drums with old school percussion and zippy synths that light it up with future energy

‘b-CY’ is an impactful four-track techno EP, yet it borrows the aesthetic from the left-field side of things.

With this release Ilya moves his production into more interwoven structures that dissolve into one another, wrapping them in tribal percussion and reassembled breaks. 

‘b-CY’ is infused with fragments and textures drawn from Ilya’s favourite archival radio shows of the late ’90s and early 2000s, merging these samples into complex sonic collages that blur the line between classic techno spirit and forward-thinking grooves.

Kode9 Burial Mix - Radio 1 - (2007)

This Was Belgium 1987-89 - 2 hours of New Beat favourites

New Beat was born and initially exploded in 1987, went supernova (in Belgium) in 1988 and then the formula morphed a bit and was declared dead in 1989. It was slow and initially all about the atmosphere with industrial strength beats - the main form of rhythmic propulsion being the pounding kick and heavy snare. It was often mainly instrumental and when there was lyrical content it often became more about slogans and giving commands - "Move Your Ass And Feel The Beat!", "Let There Be Brightness!", "Shout Out Loud!". While not really New Beat, it's no surprise Technotronic's "Pump Up Jam" was produced by a crew who had produced a ton of New Beat gems.

In 1989 one of New Beat's founders, Marc Grouls said "New Beat is atmosphere, beats, no lyrics, and sure as hell not commercial!!!!!" But, it was already too late. A zillion bandwagon jumpers had diluted the music and flooded the market with too many sub standard 12" singles. New Beat temple, the legendary Boccaccio nightclub, in Destelbergen, near Ghent, had been closed down and it looked like it was all over, but really, it was just the beginning. New Beat morphed into Hard Beat (many of the tracks on this mix are from the Hard Beat era) which quickly morphed into Belgian Rave, which was huge and hugely influential in the UK and is an often overlooked part of the DNA of UK Hardcore, and all that came after. Then from Ghent, R&S Records established itself as thee European Techno label and a huge wave of incredible Techno records emanated from it and many other mighty Belgian labels, but that is another story. 

New Beat arrived just as I first started DJing and I played a lot of it in my DJ sets and built up connections with several of the leading Belgian labels who would send me 12" singles so I had records nobody else here had any idea even existed. I would compile New Beat charts for the music paper The NME which may have given the impression there was a thriving New Beat scene in Scotland. The reality was very different; people here, many of whom would embrace the rave just a little while later never really took to it in a big way.

This mix is comprised of many of my personal favourites that I have loved since they came out (and two I missed at the time and only heard later). I think the tracks have aged like a fine wine, often sounding as good if not better today as they did then. There is definitely a faint whiff of fromage and a big dollop of stoopid in several of these tracks. Of course, it is not all about the cheese and many of these adhere to the "atmosphere, beats, no lyrics, and sure as hell not commercial" rule mentioned above. Some of the best programmed 303 Acid basslines ever made can be heard here along with transcendental hypno synths and those Belgian beats going on and on....! Slow and low, from under 100bpm up to 116, New Beat doesn't chug, it swings in a very distinct way. If you get to see any videos of Belgian clubs of the era, the way people moved to this music is incredible and so different to any dancing we see today.

Many of these tracks are made by the same people under various aliases, which will perhaps be audibly evident. Most of the names have been forgotten, if they were ever even known outside their native Belgium at all, but all are legends to me. 

This mix isn't any kind of attempt to tell the story of New Beat but rather a mix 33 of my favourite 12" singles from that era showing many of the various strains of the New Beat and Hard Beat sound. A lot of love went into this and I hope someone somewhere discovers this music for the first time and falls in love with it as I did way back when. This was Belgium!
