The music of Portable is truly unique. Habitually Perlon's in-house singer and also the man that is Bodycode, Alan Abrahams is capable of evoking the spirits of traditional deep house songs - yes, you read right: songs - without getting lost in nostalgia, manufacturing boring carbon copies or a longing for a past that never was. His first visit to Ramona's little outlet is all that: haunting, melancholic yet optimistic, as deep as it is driving and most of all mesmerising. “A Process” features all his great sound signature moves, comes with an acappella for brave DJs and a serious Flutramental on top of it all for the faint at heart. Creation might be a painful process, but surely a rewarding one for Portable. Ramona is in love.

Portable - A Process

Sutja Gutierrez - My Favorite Dress (Simple Symmetry Remix)

"Origami" is a famous Japanese art of folding paper into a decorative figure, and is now also the fruit of the musical collaboration between Barcelona-based producer Ludviq and Australia-based multifaceted Poulper. 

Indeed, born from the recent time spent in the studio by both producers, their new EP testifies to the symbiosis between Bonkers Music´s Ludviq and Quixotical Records´Poulper. Together, they deliver the singles "Origami" and "Crystal Cactus", both tracks blending each producer's quintessential musical wizardry. In their new record, Ludviq´s dark psychedelic slow techno textures meet Poulper´s more atmospheric and deep organic layers, which sounds as enigmatic and thought-provoking as an original Japanese origami. 

After a first successful single release "Cosmovision" via Golden Soul Records in 2022, THISBE Recordings is delighted to release Ludviq & Poulper first collab EP, both on a limited vinyl edition and on all digital platforms. The record also includes remixes by Calypso Records´head Thomass Jackson and French proto house and new beat sensation Kubebe.

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.

Lithuanian producer and DJ Zakmina makes his long-awaited return with the Takeshi EP on VIAVIA Records.
Known for blending sounds from the past, present, and future into his own style, he now delivers a release of 90s house, grooves crafted straight for the floor.

Vilnius-based, Zakmina began collecting records and experimenting in the studio at an early age. His explorations have since shaped a sound that feels both familiar and forward-looking. With Takeshi EP, he once more showcases that balance: playful, raw, and dance-driven.

To complete the release, Milio contributes a deep club remix, a tight rework made for peak hours.

„Tutto passa, ma nulla si perde.“

Few sentences capture the essence of Italian-Venezuelan artist Ricardo Baez better than this. Born and raised in Florence, he has become one of the most compelling bridges between club culture, emotion, and identity. With his debut album Tutto Passa, Ricardo distilled his musical and personal journey into a work that is at once introspective, universal, and profoundly human.
Baez’s story begins in a family where music was never secondary: his Italian father, a collector of old blues and jazz records, and his Venezuelan mother, who accompanied dance classes with 1980s pop cassettes. This blend of melancholy, rhythm, and nostalgia forms the DNA of his sound. Yet for Baez, music is never an archive – it is movement.

This ethos runs like a red thread through his work. As a DJ, producer, and founder of the legendary Florentine party series Tropical Animals (since 2010), he stands for openness, curiosity, and a sound that blurs boundaries.

Ricardo Baez exemplifies a generation of artists who see music as a mirror of inner motion. He moves between studio and dancefloor, Florence and Berlin, emotion and structure – always searching for what remains when everything changes.

His new release, LTMP / Some Days Are Suspicious, continues this exploration. Staying true to the themes of his musical DNA, Baez fuses influences from breakbeat, house, and deep house into a layered, meticulously arranged work. Nothing is accidental – every sound is deliberate, every layer tells a story. Once again, Ricardo Baez demonstrates that change is not a contradiction, but the driving force behind true creativity.

The visual identity of LTMP / Some Days Are Suspicious was created by Konstantin Fürchtegott Kipfmüller, a visual artist studying at the Hochschule für Gestaltung in Offenbach under Heiner Blum. His practice centers on subtractive painting—a process in which color is not applied, but removed. By scraping away layers of monochrome pigment, Kipfmüller reveals unexpected spatial dimensions and textures beneath the surface. Deeply influenced by the urban environment, his work transforms traces of decay, weather, and time into abstract visual narratives. The cover thus mirrors Baez’s own musical exploration: both uncover hidden layers, both search for meaning in what remains.

Suba (Kyrgyzstan) with "Enchantment” invites us into a slower, deeper state of movement: a Hypnotic Reverie. Drawing on hypnotic tribal rhythms, the track builds on the waves of percussive trance, a spell woven from sharp beats and drone textures unfolding. The first glimpse into our 13th Altered States compilation is a captivating call to the dance floor.

Millhouse (US) maps the thermodynamics of the dance floor with “Heat Exchange” to induce the state of Kinetic resonance. This cosmic Italo disco exploration translates the push and pull of energy into a tapestry of bassline and melody, resulting in a sound that feels both universally familiar and thrillingly new.

Sarv's (Palestine) "Shartan" evokes a state of Cathartic Resistance. A story forged by Sarv in a shelter under missile fire, the track is a powerful synthesis of Eastern Mediterranean soul: a driving bassline, the strum of a Turkish baglama, and choked Greek vocals that plead, “Help me, feed me, I cannot move, freely, dive deep inside the hive.” It is a dark, hypnotic dance between survival and creation, where ancient arches frame a modern struggle, and movement becomes an act of defiance.

SPEYS's (Poland) "Breeze" evokes a state of Liminal Serenity. Inspired by a fresh spring gust, the track explores an appealing, undefined space between sonic landscapes. It is a cohesive musical ritual that captures the feeling of a gentle threshold, a moment of organic calm suspended between rhythmic definitions.

Jabba 2.3 (France) “What do I want” evokes a state of Sensory Alchemy. It begins with a vocal sample he long coveted, transformed through a slower, psychedelic lens. The introduction of undulating acid loops acts as the catalyst, turning the familiar into a trance of new sonic experience.

Misata's (Russia) "Crystal Error Memory" evokes a state of Lucid Recall. Inspired by the fragility and distortion of memories, the track uses a deep bassline for rhythm and sharp acid lines to create tension, perfectly capturing the sensation of a past moment surfacing with vivid yet altered clarity. 

Tracklist:

Suba ft. Ro Nin - Enchantment
Millhouse (US) - Heat exchange
Sarv - Shartan
SPEYS - Breeze
Jabba 2.3 - What do I want
Misata - Crystal error memory
