CCL launches their subglow label with Rebuild, an EP from Bristol club provocateur @georg-i, featuring remixes from Metrist and the elusive B. McQueen.

After years of lighting up the dance floor at subglow and serving as a cornerstone in club sets, Rebuild is finally getting an official release to the public. georg-i’s previous releases on Perko’s FELT and aya & BFTT’s YCO imprints have established him as an incendiary club constructor probing the fringes of contemporary dance music. The release will be accompanied by poetry from subglow co-conspirator and artist Nadia Marcus, co-founder of Berlin experimental publishing platform TABLOID Press.

Informed by the restlessness of living in an apocalyptic present and the desire to rebuild the broken systems surrounding us, Rebuild is influenced by math rock's feverish and cataclysmic energy, eschewing conventional club BPMs in favour of dizzying tempo trickery and polymetric wizardry. “Torn In Two” gets off to a slow, chugging start, with raucous synths riffing over emphatic drums, but soon swirls into a juddering, pointillistic frenzy. “Bridging The Gap” is a cathartic shout, an acidic crescendo whose triplet meter offers tempo-transitioning opportunities for adventurous DJs who don’t mind a bit of maths. “Communication” gallops along cathartically through ricocheting synths and drums, unfolding into a thrilling breakdown. On remix duties, B. McQueen re-imagines “Torn In Two” as a sultry, dubbed-out roller, charting groove across a heady plain, while Metrist’s ambitious rework of “Communication” amps up the tension and primes it for a peak-time dancefloor sometime in the next millennium.

It’s with great pleasure that we welcome an old friend and contemporary, Yamaneko, to the Little Corner label with ‘jbreezesunset’.

Six years after his relocation from London to Tokyo, this EP recalls the sound of his early era-defining LP’s 'Pixel Wave Embrace' and 'Project Nautilus' on Local Action, told through the time-worn lens of acclimatisation and assimilation in another country. Where those records often touched upon Japanese ambient music and videogame soundtracks with an outsider's admiration from afar, this EP refocuses the ever-present influence of grime, techno, funky, new age and even Mr. Oizo-like glitch from a new distance and mindset. And though this record is more beat-focused and surprisingly club-ready than other recent works, the space and distance between each kick, clap or meticulous SFX-grabs are just as important as his impeccable sound selection and design.

With charming artwork to match from one of Yamaneko's personal favourite new artists and illustrators Léa Siffert.

Welcome back to another Transmission broadcasting from the HER 他 Transmission Mix Series, our mix series showcasing amazing artists from around the world. For this edition, we bring you a mix from https://soundcloud.com/djshahmaran

Rotterdam-based DJ Shahmaran has been causing a commotion over the past years, merging glitchy and gritty club cuts with emotional intensity. Known for bass-heavy sounds and percussive rhythms, DJ Shahmaran has become a solid figure of the Rotterdam scene and beyond.

Over the years, through their performances in intimate clubs like POING and De School as well as bigger festival dancefloors by the likes of Horst and Draaimolen – to name a few – they have become a commanding presence with a boundless well of creative expression.

Recently having self-released their debut single ‘withoutaskingwhy’, a soothing and inspirational soundtrack, DJ Shahmaran is exploring a more tender facet of themselves through music production, expecting to release more dance-focused tracks in 2025.

With a wide and deep knowledge of a variety of genres and approaches to DJing and music production, and by staying in tune with the sensual energy of the dancefloor, they never fail to move the crowd — all while retaining an element of storytelling on personal journeys of hope and escape, both in their sets as well as productions. This is also evident in their bi-monthly radio show ‘Ecdysis’ on Operator Radio where they explore different facets of club focused sounds with friends and exciting guests.

DJ Shamaran is also one half of wRec;, a project in collaboration with Himera exploring emotional and evocative club-inspired sounds through DJ sets, live sets and releases. Having first made their name in the queer underground, DJ Shahmaran has continues to be one of the programmers and organisers behind the queer and intentional KLAUW Collective, which recently has made its long awaited return to Rotterdam nightlife.

HER 他 Transmission 233: DJ Shahmaran

In the last few years, Miami has transformed into a hotbed of raw talent and one of its hallmarks is SEL.6, who also happens to be one of the finest artists originally out of Broward County. Jumpstarting her career with the widely revered and self-released Desire series and initiated into Miami’s scene via Space Tapes, the label that launched some of Miami’s most prized and internationally recognized dance music artists; she has woven herself into the fabric of the city’s underground telling the story of her Floridian identity and giving beauty and finesse to the sounds that encompass “Floridacore” in electronic music. Her productions are characterized by signature trancelike soundscapes, sampling inspired by a deep passion and respect for R&B, combined with crisp and powerful percussions while weaving between electro to breaks to hardgroove to jungle making her music perfect for any high ocassion and landing her onto labels like Allergy Season and Omnidisc. This energy transcends into the way she plays, always creating impactful and heavy dance floor moments cementing her as a gem in the city’s club culture. Truly a DJ’s DJ, a massive talent and a dear friend we have loved and watched grow alongside us. 

Secular Music is a sonic exploration rooted in Florida’s rich musical landscape. Blending 90's club influences, humid rhythms, emotive synths, and ethereally expressive textures. Blurring the line between the secular and the spiritual, the theme teases religious undertone, highlighting the irony of club music as both non-secular and deeply spiritual. Secular Music is a tribute to personal transitions, a deep connection to place, and the state’s vibrant music culture. The EP features Miami's own Coffintexts and a remix anthem by Miami Bass queen Jubilee.

INDEX:Records is enamoured to present the accomplished debut record by New York City resident, Beau Mahadev – 8-parts of dreamy vocals and wet-textured IDM-pop.

To some extent, this album arriving at INDEX:Records has been over 3 years in the making: we were first introduced to Beau’s work at GLOB in Denver (during our USA tour in 2023), at an event hosted by a dear friend, filled with lovely peeps. We were totally blown away by Beau’s performance and knew within a few minutes of their set starting that we wanted to release an album with them someday. Now, here it is: Subterra. Featuring tasty collaborations with {iii}, Uza A'amo and Yau Hei ASJ.
