A l'heure où le monde est en proie à de sombres bouleversements, La Forge continue de construire son propre métavers en vous partageant ses derniers coups de cœurs de la club music hexagonale. Dans les sillons de la jungle, de la techno ou encore de la trance, cet opus prend la forme d'un voyage initiatique où les rêveries des uns et des autres se confondent dans de joyeuses zones de turbulences.

A bord de ce vaisseau céleste, 13 tracks confectionnées par des artisans de talent : Bruit Fantôme, CLAP42, D3M0R, FIDY, Healing Noises, Hit HZ, Indigo Persona, JKS & Shonen Bat, Marino, Metrolog, Nigm, Soul Edifice & Qant, Tim Karbon.

Tant menée par l'expérimentation et la science du sound design que par la vision de dancefloors extatiques, c'est une fois encore d'un éclectisme manifeste que résulte l'alchimie de cette compilation où chacun saura trouver son compte.

At a time when the world is at the edge of dark upheavals, La Forge continues to build its own metaverse by sharing with you its latest gems from French club music. In the grooves of jungle, techno or trance, this opus takes the form of an initiatory journey where the reveries of some and others merge in joyful zones of turbulence.

On board this celestial vessel, 13 tracks made by talented craftsmen: Bruit Fantôme, CLAP42, D3MOR, FIDY, Healing Noises, Hit HZ, Indigo Persona, JKS & Shonen Bat, Marino, Metrolog, Nigm, Soul Edifice & Qant, Tim Karbon.

As much driven by experimentation and the science of sound-design as by the vision of ecstatic dancefloors, the alchemy of this compilation, in which everyone will find something to their liking, is once again the result of a manifest eclecticism.

PREVIEW : Crysta Ampullaris vol.5 - La Forge & Guests

@ngoni-egan expands on his innovative electro sound and explores familial heritage on his debut release for @iamcarista's @weareunitedidentities

Premiere: Ngoni Egan ‘Difaqane’

The restaurant was full, brimming with the creme de la creme of society - anyone who was anyone could be found lurking in this dimly lit establishment. Amongst the clusters of suited up business men and their trophy wives, she propped herself at the bar, waiting anxiously to meet the woman who could potentially change her life. If all went well, she'd be rubbing shoulders with this clientele regularly, dressed in the most designer of garments, sipping on the most expensive of champagnes. It's what she'd always wanted, a real in to the high society, but really she knew that, underneath the facade, she'd still always feel like an outsider. 

Amsterdam's Flippen Disks are launching a brand new offshoot, Flippen Bits. In contrast to the main label which highlights artists exploring borderless music that can be listened to at home or played on the dance floor, the sub-label will focus more on functional club music, starting with an EP from Welsh-born, Amsterdam-based producer Maroki. Best served late at night, the future-facing tracks that make up Coldred are full of bass weight and dense percussion, layered over frenetic breakbeats.

Coldred EP

PREMIERE: Maroki - Coldred [Flippen Bits]

Maroki launches the Spitskool Records imprint with 3 cuts of absolutely devastating club orientated sounds. Spitskool is a platform for Maroki and Coralie AKA ‘MXC’ and friends to release their music that perhaps wouldn’t fit elsewhere. Although it seems there is now a home at last.

‘AC4XT’ is a sleeping giant, again using the powerful rips and an earth shattering break and a sub that is oh so reminiscent of the old DMZ days but wholly different. The synth lines are tactile - loud, almost overpowering at times but once they disperse the space that is left is wide and compelling.

PREMIERE: Maroki - AC4XT [Spitskool Records]

Long-time friend of the label Plesk Parallel makes her way to All Centre to release a sublime double tracker. On Spit Fountain, Plesk Parallel revitalizes her sound with a pair of transcendent, explorative club tracks.

Spit Fountain opens as a CR-78 drum machine workout heavily manipulated by masterful sound design. Drum clicks reverberate across a cavernous space charted by booming sub-low kicks. A disorienting melody enters the fray in the latter half of the track, reminiscent of AFX b-sides and microtonal experiments.

Morpho shifts into a more mechanical, to-the-grid groove with rigid kick drums and earworm percussion. Drawing on 90s & 00s broken techno, Plesk Parallel puts her own spin on these conventions, augmenting the style with perfected sound design, hypnotic pads and a heavy, dubbed-out bassline.

Spit Fountain is available on all digital platforms from November 10th.

Four years since the release of the bass-heavy 'Lemma1' EP, Norwegian born producer Tobias Sørensen Urhaug aka O.M. Theorem and label head Aarti Kriplani line up the first of two remix packages, delivering two VIP reworks and a pair of weighty remixes from Bristol-based producer Ossia and Sex Tags Mania kingpin DJ Sotofett.

🔊 “HIT THE LOW END” – The New Rave Jump Up Drum & Bass Album by 🔊

Turn it up and feel the impact.
Hit The Low End is pure rave energy — packed with heavy wobblers, punchy drums, and explosive drops designed to shake the floor and light up the crowd. This album captures the raw excitement of Jump Up Drum & Bass at full throttle, built for sound systems, late nights, and non-stop skanking.

From Rave Alert.wav to Rave Control.wav, every track delivers high-energy pressure, underground attitude, and that unmistakable Jump Up bounce. If you live for bass, reloads, and hands-in-the-air moments, this one’s for you.

🎧 Turn it loud. Lock into the rhythm. Hit the low end.

The debut 25-track compilation from @yinyanglabel is a tour de force through the darker underpasses of contemporary club music. @midlands_league ‘Nasal Spray’ is a jungle-indebted eyes-closed moment

Midlands League - Nasal Spray [Yin Yang Label]

@ERAMexp is a Brazilian power producer, extraordinary selectress (check her amazing RAIDERS mix from a few months ago) and co-runner of @ZONAexp. For Night Shift, she whipped up a dark & energetic acidic stomper consisting of a chunky 303 bassline, choppy vocals, fat breaks and wavy synth-pads. But be warned, because this Tr00 Brazilian ShHit will melt your subwoofers as well as your mind!

As a collective bringing together fifteen people (DJs, producers, plastic and graphic artists), La Forge has become in the past few years one of the main players in Reims’ electronic music scene. In a city scarred by a lack of true night institutions, they promote a protean aesthetic of techno music, without boundaries or taboos, throughout their "Crysta Ampullaris " compilations or their ‘Resonance’ and ‘Outrun’ events. Such artists as Simo Cell, Lisa More, François X, UF095, Elise Massoni, Laze, Hermeth, Renart, Sweely, Realitycheck, G’Boi & Jean-Mi, Maelstrom, Voiron, Bamao Yendé or M&C have yet played for them.
