ÈBONY - Shades of Meridian [Turbo 251]
Stream & Buy - https://turborec.lnk.to/ShadesofMeridian

In the wake of their widely-acclaimed album Union, JUNO-nominated duo Èbony rematerialize on the dancefloor with the otherworldly Shades of Meridian EP, projecting a waking futurist dream haunted by echoes of Detroit techno, Chicago house, South African melodies, and the rich mythology of Ancient Toronto. 

Opener “Break My Skin explores a hidden pocket of after-hours techno space-time with an ethereal vocal by James Baley, leading into the tense, disembodied jack of “Forever.” Next, “Dull Side First” rides a spectral break through a sepulchral warehouse trip, “RIFT” invokes peak-time witchcraft, and closer “My Daylight” entrances even the most self-possessed sound-and-lighting guys to spam the smoke machine until reality itself is occluded. 

And to those who say that working with JUNO-nominated artists proves that Turbo is just a cog in the CanCon cabal, we would like to familiarize you with the facts: Canadian Tire refused to carry our 2023 Bryan Adams remix LP and we have rejected five separate demos from Justin Trudeau’s tech-house alias “Arabian Nights.” It’s called integrity — try looking it up sometime.

Dull Side First

Under a former alias, The Liquid Dude has long been a fixture in the electronic scene, collaborating with artists such as Emanuel Satie, Leif, and Lehar, among others. He has played all over the world, including at Detroit's legendary TV Lounge, and also scores for film. His work has won international awards such as Best Film at the 22nd Wildlife Vaasa Film Festival in Finland and Best Documentary at the 5th MADRIFF. He has directed independent films, music videos, commercials, and creative fashion and art photoshoot sessions, and blends visual and musical storytelling with a distinct artistic vision

After a 12-year hiatus from the DJ circuit, he's back with fresh energy and perspective for this new album and an immersive event series, Into the Hole. Early bookings at high-profile venues like Eden in Ibiza have started this new chapter with a bang, and this new album is only set to take him to new levels once more. It arrives on the newly launched Liquid Freaks label, which, since 2023, has been an event series run by a highly experienced group keen to revive the raw spirit of the early warehouse scene.

Says the artist, "What you'll hear isn't nostalgia, it's a disassembled memory rebuilt from frequencies and mild paranoia. It's the echo of someone who once lived inside the scene, then slipped out quietly when it stopped making sense. Not a tribute, a confrontation. A cracked mirror held up to a culture that once moved bodies and minds."

Opener 'Skip This' begins with atmospheric synth modulation, textured smears, and curious melodies before 'Nipponacidfunk' delivers a twisted house workout with funky drumming and screwy 303s laced with Japanese spoken words. The singular sounds continue on the pressurised and winky acid madness of 'Shakyshaky', while 'Botox Love' is an oﬀ-grid rhythm with unhinged synths and flaming breakbeats, warped vocals and acid flashes that take you to the heart of a strobe-lit warehouse. 'Freaking Freaks' brings old school piano energy to new school club rhythms and 'Digital Dopamine' is tripped out afterparty electro with aliens controlling the machines. There is a more introverted feel to the plunging bass and melancholic chords of 'Indigestion' before closer 'The Old Days' pairs warm summer synths with spoken word musings and elastic rhythms.

The Liquid Dude's ‘Can I Music?’ debuts on Liquid Freaks on September 5, 2025.

PREMIERE : The Liquid Dude - Nipponacidfunk

Canopy is a Portuguese based label now in its fourth year, run by New Zealand born Emmanuel Dalton aka Sumosui. Reissuing forgotten tropical gems of synth infused 70s, 80s & 90s funk, disco, boogie and derivatives of these genres that emerged from the creative meeting pots of West Africa & The Caribbean. The other side of the label presents remixes of these vintage works, in an Afro-disco direction, through to contemporary house stylings as well as original works inspired by these motifs. Canopy artists include Captain Planet, Opolopo, Bosq, Aroop Roy, Kiko Navarro, Joi N’Juno and a host of colourful creative talent

Welcoming Lontra to the Canopy family, this release is the first in a number of exciting projects. Lontra is Brazilian born, Colombian based producer, and musician, Guille Katorzi. The inspiration and influences for this project were drawn from diverse sources, including disco, house, Nigerian boogie and Afrobeat. The instrumentals were written and produced in Bogotá with Guille laying down the guitar and bass parts which the songs were built upon. After sending the demos to vocalist Sir Jean (Voilaaa/Sir Jean & NMB Afrobeat Experience), he was thrilled to receive a warm response and travelled to France in 2023 to record vocals in the singers' hometown of Lyon. Returning to Bogotá, a selection of top brass musicians contributed their blazing horns to the project. 

Opening up, ‘Money, Money’ serves up a lively disco beat with percussive Afrobeat highlights, funky guitar licks and Afrobeat inspired horn parts, backed by an irresistible bassline, setting the scene for  Sir Jean's lyrical warning "money cannot buy your soul". Dropping some of the Afrobeat accents and staying closer to the centre line, ‘Life Is Movement’ is a dancefloor focused track where Katorzi's guitar hook pairs with a restless bassline over which Sir Jean's vocal delivery shines. 

The flipside begins with a sensuous overture on ‘Mysterious’. A loose Afro-beat and guitar syncopation provides an inviting space for the horn section's refrains and solos. The arrangement allows plenty of room for the listener to become intoxicated by the groove, before Sir Jean opens his heart with the emotive ode to someone we learn of only as..."Mysterious". Closing out proceedings with ‘The Lyon & The Hunter’, Sir Jean sings a warning wrapped in metaphors while Lontra throws down a club focused punch that dances between funk, house and Afro while the scorching horns set the lot aflame. The culmination of different inspirations and intonations imbues the project with a vivacity and richness in colour that reflects the multi-cultural assembly of players. 

PREMIERE : Lontra feat Sir Jean - Mysterious

COV return with release number 058 - the second in their Label Love mini-compilation series, designed to shine a light on the label's rich back catalogue.

Five originals from Bonnie & Klein, MAKS, Andy Buchan, Lanowa and Gus Paterson get the remix treatment.

Secret Soul Society brings a fresh Balearic twist to "Bourbon Street", while Mass Density Human channels his inner '90s rave spirit with a sunrise take on "North".

Gus Paterson transforms "Piano Hands" into an Italo-driven thumper, before Andy Buchan adds a disco twist to "Feels Like Love".

Rounding things off, Bal5000 - fresh from the success of his "The Lake" EP - turns up the heat on "Montalbano".

After releasing several EP on Accents Records, ARTS, and Diffuse Reality. Pablo Diarra aka Saïph launches his own label Songe Anima records (Sonam rec) with this first release Griffe Sonam EP.

The EP's surprising influences include techno, contemporary trance and ambient, with acoustic recordings drums somewhere between, Afrobeat, jazz and Maracatu, and colder textured pads. This EP feels both grounded and ethereal.

The whole low-end spectrum stares us in a very dub-like direction, the snare, Rim, hats game is as swift as it is aerial, while the electro sound design elements take us, through experimental effect, into a vast, hushed soundscape.

The EP can't be summed up in a single musical style, and explores musical universes we've rarely heard together. The resulting unity is a mature, rhythmically complex sound, an insider's music that's easy to access because it's so danceable.

'After Trane'is an explicit tribute to John Coltrane. Here, the main lead evokes a sound somewhere between trumpet, flute and organ. Its polyrhythmic tangle with a second lead to the 5th can evoke a Balkan fanfare, a Celtic ritornello, West African chants, or even an Oriental dimension; there's something quite universal about this appearance; whose main characteristic is to produce a trance effect. The closing solo may evoke something of Joe Zawinul, and in some aspects takes the allure of a Coltranian pastiche in its articulation. You'll even recognize a brief citation of the Impressions theme, breaking through the mix and setting the track on fire at 5''33.

London-based DJ duo, producers, and curators Earthly Measures announce their debut EP, ‘FROM EARTH’, landing August 8 via Oath. The six-track release is a vibrant statement of intent: a celebration of rhythm, collaboration, and borderless sound.

Leading the EP is the electrifying first single ‘QUE?’, featuring Colombian artist OKRAA. It’s a kinetic fusion of Afro-Latin percussion, live textures, and UK breakbeat energy, anchored by a looping Fela Kuti sample that pulses like a heartbeat through the track. A psychedelic, bass-heavy trip built for movement.

Across ‘FROM EARTH’, Earthly Measures chart a path through deep grooves, organic instrumentation, and global club culture. Each track is shaped by cross-continental collaboration:

‘THIRD TRY’, created with Chile’s DJ Raff, is a hypnotic, slow-burning roller that blends warped synths, sub-heavy basslines, and Latin rhythmic sensibilities with mystical restraint.

“EARTH GROOVE”, made with Argentinian producer Balam, hums with ancestral echoes and future-facing energy: a ritualistic low-end meditation finally emerging from their archives.

The EP also includes three powerful remixes that reimagine the originals through fresh lenses:

Berlin-based Olsvangèr brings a dubbed-out, textural warmth to ‘QUE?’ with his Wildwood Dub.

Sun Sone’s remix of ‘THIRD TRY’ leans into bright percussion and open-air energy.

Jinje closes the journey with a kaleidoscopic, peak-time rework of ‘EARTH GROOVE’, lifting it into euphoric new terrain.

As longtime champions of globally inspired dance music, Earthly Measures have spent years cultivating a platform where sounds from across the planet collide — whether through their label, DJ sets, or live showcases. Now, with ‘FROM EARTH’, they step into the spotlight as artists, weaving together the rhythms and textures they’ve championed into a cohesive, forward-facing release.

FROM EARTH is an offering to the dancefloor and beyond, a reflection of connection, community, and deep respect for sound rooted in nature. It marks a milestone moment for Earthly Measures and a powerful new chapter in their journey.

New Release Incoming on Riotvan! And it’s someone we already hold close to our hearts. After making serious noise on our last compilation, we’re beyond stoked to finally present a full EP by none other than @muftimx

This time, the Mexican producer dives into darker, more house-infused territory, an unexpected turn that hits just right. Think late-night haze meets early morning bliss: a heady mix of acid, house, dark wave, and a whisper of romantic melancholy, all wrapped in a sound that feels unmistakably now. We’ve been hooked from first listen, and trust us, you will be too. Mufti is in the house.

To top it off: Gallegos leaves his unmistakable signature on the record with a remix of “Lovers Everywhere”. What a remix. Seriously!

Across "Kwon Anthem EP", Zimmer balances hypnotic, orchestral breakdowns, progressive trance textures built from Roland SRX patches (“Kwon’s Anthem”), and a cosmic, downtempo detour structured around a 707 jam (“Hours”). It’s his most ambitious and wide-ranging statement yet — and a fitting debut on Life and Death.

After eight months without releasing any music, we are back for our first vinyl EP format : Love Ensemble EP - APRH003 ! We are extremely delighted to share this one with you as we already had early support from Black Loops, Harrison Bdp, Carlo & Flabaire <3

But who is Love Ensemble ?

It's a House music quintet founded towards the end of 2018 in Berlin. Consisting of https://soundcloud.com/horsemen_music, https://soundcloud.com/nephewsmusik and https://soundcloud.com/dimsum-aprh, both duos and the swiss man all met ahead of the second release of Apér’House Recordings. From that point on, they noticed that something needed to be done with the mixture of their respective musical directions.

A few months after their first gig at MS Stubnitz in Hamburg, they decided to go on a journey deep in the woods of brandenburg, Germany. The unexpected happened, and the love spreading boyband came up with a 4-track EP that will be set to release in June 2019.

Love Ensemble’s musical identity oscillates between the raw house feeling and micro-house vibe to deliver an ethereal club atmosphere. Respective owners of: Twofivesix Records, Metro Beirut & Apér’House

PREMIERE: Love Ensemble - Space Thoughts [APRH]

For 15 years I’ve been releasing two track EPs with a crazy A-side and a much deeper or weirder B-side. Showing a range of sound has always been very important to me. My studio assistant and friend, Wyatt Marshall collaborated with me on the B-side and also gets credit for turning me on to modular synthesis which is used considerably on both tracks.

Squares is a collaboration between Greg Dowling, Shane Johnson and Andrew Phillpott. Greg and Shane are better known as Fish Go Deep and have released music on labels such as Defected, Large, Innervisions, Local Talk and many more. Andrew also has a long history in the music industry, working with music royalty Depeche Mode and Dave Gahan for many years.

The project began as an analogue and modular synth jam in deepest West Cork, growing into more regular sessions and eventually resulting in a series of live shows and an albums worth of recorded music. The debut Squares release came out on acclaimed London label, Freerange, and the trio now follow that up with Speed Syphon, named after a favourite coffee brewing machine in the cafe next door to the studio.

The original mix takes a dusty drone, throbbing bass and some sweet Jupiter 8 licks for a wild ride around the dancefloor. The track ebbs and flows throughout, locking into a heads down groove and not letting go.

The Fish Go Deep remix packs a more straightforward 4/4 punch, nodding to classic Detroit techno while building a powerful momentum. With a bouncing bassline, beefy drums and a stirring string section, this one will work at any time of the night.
