Celebrating not just Ryan Elliott’s faith in a vital new generation of producers and DJs, but five years of his own meticulously curated Faith Beat imprint, ‘Have Faith’ is a bold new chapter for the Panorama Bar veteran. Before relocating to Berlin, Elliott cut his teeth spinning Detroit, so he pays it forward on this 34-track compilation, shining a dazzling spotlight on the local scenes and breaking new artists that promise to keep American dance music moving as it lurches towards a new era. When he was based in the US, Elliott realized how distant Europe felt for homegrown artists – not just philosophically, but physically. Two years ago, he set about excavating the US’s underground architecture, pooling contacts and tracks, and urging his wide network of friends to send over their best recommendations. The compilation coalesced organically, and pulls together a diverse canon of producers, offering them the global exposure they urgently need. Eighty percent of the tracks are from up-and-coming US-based artists from the Midwest and beyond, so with the 10th release on his label, Elliott lays down a glimpse of a possible future of underground house and techno that counters the scene’s contemporary Eurocentricity. This music was born in the US, and its evolution might still be in American hands.

We are excited to announce the launch of our label with the release of OBERHAUM01, a dynamic Various Artists EP spotlighting producers who have previously featured on our radio. This release showcases three rhythm-driven tracks, each offering a distinctive sonic identity while sharing a common focus on depth and rhythm.

First up is DJ OSX with “Shutting Capes”—a track built on rhythmic percussion and a rolling low end. As it builds, a pad drifts in, adding a layer of emotion and space without losing the drive.

Next, Davut Yildiz delivers “Trigger Response”, blending Middle Eastern-inspired melodies with deep breakbeats and high-pitched, rhythmic, spacey elements to create a sense of expansive depth.

Closing the release, Uksimo presents “Informal”, a minimalist four-to-the-floor groove. With crisp percussion and intricately layered modular synths, the track offers a clean and focused atmosphere.

PREMIERE : Davut Yildiz - Trigger Response

When Radial Gaze meets Kubebe, the result is Iron Pinky Toad — a title that sounds either like a secret kung-fu move or a lost cartoon book. But don’t be fooled — this one hits hard.

The long-awaited collab brings three original tracks — Phantom Limb, Lights of Phoenix and the title cut Iron Pinky Toad — that effortlessly bridge the gap between slow-burning tribal techno and the raw pulse of new beat nested into an early techno nutshell. Imagine dancing barefoot in a ritual under a disco eclipse — you’re getting close.

To seal the record, Playground Records boss Martin Noise steps in alongside rising sensation Anastasia Zems, pushing the release into full-blown dancefloor sorcery. The groove is deep, the bass is sweaty, and the toad… well, the toad is on fire !

Dropping Friday, July 18, 2025, via THISBE Recordings — available on vinyl and digital. Spin it, stream it, or whisper its name into the smoke at 3AM — either way, the dancefloor won’t know what hit it.

PREMIERE | Bohdan - Night Call (SSR035)

4 UGLY DJs ONLY Vol. ONE: file under alternative dance music — a snarling snapshot of the unconventionally attractive side of underground dance music. Curated for the late-blooming, ugly duckling disco dollies, this seven-track collection veers through busted club experiments, mutant techno, and haunted house heaters.

Each artist pushes dance music into strange, unconventional terrain — unafraid to embrace the peculiar, the abrasive, and sometimes even the ugly. The release features:
Thomass Jackson, Argentinian-born and now based in Mexico City, known for releases on Multi Culti and his own Calypso Records dj_2button, UK-born and Vancouver-based, head of the excellent Weirdos Inc imprint;

HIGHELECTRiX, the debut project of Lisbon’s XCI, presenting their first-ever track under this moniker;

Etbonz, a familiar name to @Bed_of-Roses-1 followers, with previous releases on Love on the Rocks and Bahnsteig 23;

@listentomorpheme, a fresh face whose electro-freak-pop debut Collected Pieces recently dropped on EYMS;

Wormbox, the collaborative alias of Break Mode and Cole Baby, names that are all too familiar in BoR world have recent offerings for Paradia Sound, Ransom Note, and Electric Shapes;

MagicPink, another Bed Head on the BoR roster, continues to throw more irons into a fire that refuses to be contained. Also recently featured on the Electric Shapes Unreleased Territory vol. 4

Together, they form a crooked constellation of acid-damaged jams and asymmetrical DJ tools.

For those opting for psychedelic enlightenment over psychological terror, Helsinki based artist
Jeku presents ‘Peyote Trance’; further advancements into “the trip”. A nudge towards ascendance

bit of peyote might just help, as mother nature intended.
