Polytope’s first EP welcomes two rising stars from the European bass music scene: Brussels-based fa:act and Parisian artist Meli Mena. The duo has crafted a six-track, club-ready opus featuring a special collaboration and a remix by Maoupa Mazzocchetti.

"COUGH TWICE IF YOU CARE" dives into the depths of the hardcore continuum with the distinctive styles of both artists on full display.

fa:act contributes two dancehall-inspired bangers with his signature touch: “Wizard Bubble” and “Breeze and Riddim.”

Meli Mena delivers two high-energy club tracks infused with breakbeat influences and IDM resonances: “Hot Girls Get Sad” and “SideQuest Nap.”

Together, the pair released the now-renowned 140 bpm club anthem “Dust Drip,” a track that has lit up dancefloors around the globe.

Each piece receives the unique analog treatment of Maoupa Mazzocchetti, who also contributes a powerful remix of Meli Mena’s “SideQuest Nap.”

PREMIERE: Hedchef - Twenty To The Dozen [Taipan Trax]

Listen to "Mindbreaker" by Kendu Bari taken from "Drink For Your Machine" EP out on October 10th via Who's Susan

Pre-order: https://kendubari.bandcamp.com/album/drink-for-your-machine

Kendu Bari steps out on Who's Susan with his four headed monster, Drink for your Machine. The EP is bold, bass heavy and strongly influenced by cyberpunk nostalgia.

The Sann Odea co-owner, known for his weighty live performances, brings the same focused intensity to his DJ sets, recently heard at The Lot Radio in New York and during the legendary closing weekend of De School. We're very excited for this one as we believe that he is one of the most exciting voices in modern bass music.

So sit back and let your machine sip what it's been thirsting for.

Kendu Bari - Mindbreaker (Who's Susan)

Release date: October 23rd, 2025
Released by: Self-released
Written by: Sha Ru
Mastered by: Ten Eight Seven
Artwork by: Sha Ru, BUBU

Vibra Vibra is a new series by Sha Ru, a duo perpetually in nomadic motion, renowned for their deft blend of spoken word and bass-heavy electronics. This first release turns inward on music’s physical pulse, tracing how frequencies ripple through bodies and spaces, shaping the way sound is felt as much as heard.

Low-end waves move like invisible currents — compressing the chest at 50–60Hz, sinking through the gut and legs at 20–40Hz, buzzing in the skull at 60–100Hz. Each track maps these zones, treating bass as a tangible force that sculpts both body and room.

Sha Ru - Vibrasum

@steeltraxx

A new addition to the NHS roster, Steel Traxx joins at the 34 mark with three surging, buzzy club offerings applicable across a span of factors; energy, pace, duration of evening, yet Cohesive in their strident hypnotism. The Manchester-based producer carries a short, yet pronounced legacy of productions, having honed a definable approach to the brand of wonky, eclectic club music. Initial outings via a debut EP on London’s Erbium Records and single-track features on Manchester’s own Rubber Works demonstrate a clear vision and intention of sound, furthered only by the entrance into NHS territory.

A delicate balance of synthetics drenched in unnatural delays, crunchy, earthy percussion sampling and haunting melodies make for a package of intensely club-ready USB additions tailored effectively to a range of atmospheres. Holistic employment of rolling, building energy features across the selection; a masterful, refined second EP from one of the scene’s freshest newcomers.
