Kosh joins Craigie Knowes for his label debut record ‘Back on Track’. Kosh delivers 4 tracks packed to the brim with Detroit heritage merged with his own original style and signature Casablanca take on the origins of house, techno and the space between. Title track ‘Back on Track’ is an ever-building acid-journey guaranteed to rock in the clubs.

‘Breaksit’ gives us a chance to breathe as we embark on a trip that melds the signature Kosh and Craigie Knowes sounds into a pure and emotive composition. ‘Ridge Racer’ returns us to our feet with bounce, rhythm and octave changes to elevate your next DJ-set. ‘Digital Dilemma’ takes us from North Africa across the Atlantic to the Motor City and reminds us of everything we love about club-focussed, Detroit inspired, techno.

It’s pure Kosh and it’s pure Craigie Knowes, enjoy!

SameSame duodeliver a transmission beamed from the liminal hours through their Audio Manipulation EP on Pyramid Fields. It’s a sound rich with detail - which you may have heard through their incredible surface on label, One Eye Witness.

Rich in texture, while being propulsive club tracks, driven by low-end, proggy basslines that anchor the trip. Be prepared for the forward motion, while being tripped-out through science fiction and fantastical undertones. A must for the ear.

PREMIERE: SameSame - Transmission

 ‘Where We Belong’ pairs expressive piano with a surprise switch-up into breakbeats, hoover bass, and Hardcore element

Adult Hits makes dance music that sweats, mutates, and smiles back at you. A co-founder of Sensory Signal and a fixture in the Los Angeles underground, he builds worlds from percussion — grooves that start as a pulse and end as possession. His sound leans toward the playful and the psychedelic: prog swung through breaks, acid melted into color, humor folded into hypnosis. There’s always a wink in the chaos, a kind of sly confidence that comes from knowing exactly how the room will move.

Attitude Drums EP packs a sassy, proggy punch - square in the chest.  Euphoric wobbles and wibbly ear~candy collide with psy~esque licks and naughty breaks.  No rest for the wicked, Adult Hits flirts across the EP with raw personality; his locked-in percussion, trippy pads and nasty vocal chops carry the floor effortlessly. 

Etari refracts “The Field” through her dream logic — soft edges, deep pulse, and the kind of drums that feel both organic and otherworldly. It’s humid, emotional, and alive — an echo of L.A. nights when everything blurs just right.

PREMIERE: Adult Hits - The Field (Etari Remix)

Four producers, four shades of motion: dubby pressure, sleek trance energy, and tripped-out house psychedelia built for the floor.
Our seventh release brings together versatile club cuts sitting between house and trance. Familiar faces return — Tifra, Gearmater (fka Abdul Raeva) — and newcomers Olsvangèr and Earth Trax, each adding their own weight to the release.

“Clubfoot” on A1 — precision disguised as ease. The Estonian duo deal in pressure, not excess: a thick, rolling bassline, a bubbling acid line, and dub-warmed undertones glowing beneath the surface. Soft, delayed chords drift in and out like vapour, grounding the track in that classic dub techno haze. Reborn under a new name, they sound recalibrated and ready — gears turning, momentum building.

“The Body Radiates” is Earth Trax at his most direct. High-speed 303s coil through off-world, high-definition textures — bright yet tightly controlled. Crisp, hard percussion keeps the pressure constant, while flickering vocal chops cut through the mix with a distinctly ’90s pulse. It moves with purpose, gliding through the breaks and tunnelling toward the peak.

A Flash! — and reality folds. On B1, Olsvangèr delivers a pristine, meditative trip: razor-sharp percussion, a bassline built to unspool the mind. It’s lean, focused, and quietly hallucinatory. Proof he’s fast becoming the go-to for tripped-out house.

“Monolith” by Tifra signals a bold return - a deep, club-ready roller that hums with fizzing percussion, trippy, widescreen FX and a lead washed in echo that keeps everything in motion. It’s crisp, transportive, and unmistakably Tifra. Keep your ears open — the full EP’s on the way.

PREMIERE: Olsvangèr - Flash!

READ > inverted-audio.com/premiere-elise-seropram-forest-drive-west-remix

Seemingly named after an anti-depressant medication, @forest-drive-west remix of @el-se 'Seropram' is built around an eerily descending three-chord sequence that mimics the peculiar effects of the drug - as skittering hi-hats circle and subterranean frequencies envelop your ears, this anxiolytic piece of half-time experimentalism fogs your brain like a 40mg Zoloft.

Elise - Seropram (Forest Drive West Remix) [Man Band]

Full spectrum double 12” from Garies - eight tracks running from bittersweet beatdown-ish bits to slow-burn electro to second wave-inspired techno, injected with funk, melody and an MPC-mindset.
“Like a drunk Carl Craig” - Kenny Hanlon.

Garies = New Jackson (All City, Hivern) + Lumigraph (MPR, Opal Tapes). Full colour cover. Mastered by Thomas P Heckmann. Cut at Schnittstelle. Pressed at MPO. Artwork by Mel Keane.

PREMIERE : Garies - Crash Course

buy: smarturl.it/nachtbraker @nachtbraker

After a string of acclaimed EPs on Heist, Dirt Crew and Quartet Series, Amsterdam’s Nachtbraker presents ‘When You Find a Stranger in the Alps’, his first longplayer on his own Quartet Series imprint. The good-humoured Dutchman - tongue always firmly in cheek – has always refused to stick to the ‘sound du jour’ and the industry’s conventions, following his own path instead, continually willing to step out of his comfort zone. ‘When You Find a Stranger in the Alps’, a nod to his favourite Coen Brothers’ movie, is testament to Nachtbraker’s studio prowess and drive to explore new sonic pastures and styles. The album consists of thirteen tracks, made over the course of 2,5 years in his studio at Volkshotel Amsterdam. Constantly shifting through different settings and moods, the album feels like a deep dream, with vivid details, blurry edges and a warped sense of time. The word “stranger” in the title references to this dream state in which you sometimes can be a stranger to yourself.

Album opener ‘The Dream Sequence’ sets the mood with a lo-slung hip-house groove that relies heavily on field recordings, like the sound of one of the capital’s trams. ‘Flambo’, a delectable slice of up-tempo French filtered house, is aimed straight at the dance floor. Nachtbraker dims the lights on ‘NSFW’, cleverly manipulating samples from adult oriented flicks, and turns in a hilarious skit with ‘LOL’.
Flip over for ‘Randy’, a quintessential Nachtbraker track, morphing from a Balearic, tropical disco shuffler to a dance floor banger. ‘Driving me Lazy’ starts out as a downtempo number but changes into a full-on drum ‘n bass workout. The driving ‘You Can’t Run’ features drunken chords over a sober beat, conjuring up visions of running circles in a dark maze. ‘Just Doing My Thang’ rides a classic broken beat, while Nachtbraker pushes the boundaries again on Innaspace, which starts out as an instrumental hip hop track yet finishes on a jungle tip.

‘Aliens’ is a choppy, headsdown groover with cheeky UFO-geek samples that wouldn’t be out of place on a mid-90s West Coast Deep House compilation. ‘Horsepony’ finds Nachtbraker on a sultry Nightmares on Wax tip. Finally, it ends with where it all started; it’ll be the moment “When You Wake Up”.

The album is recorded and mixed at Nachtbraker’s studio in the Amsterdam Volkshotel. All 13 tracks are run through 2” tape on a Studer A800 and are mastered at Q-lab studio in Basel, Switzerland.
