@Will Hofbauer debuts on Aus Music with ‘Four! Beats!’.
Will Hofbauer has been carving out his idiosyncratic niche in dance music for the past few years, with releases on Rinse FM, Wisdom Teeth and his Third Place seeing critical acclaim as well as high-profile co-signs from the likes of Ben UFO, rRoxymore, Lukas Wigflex, Dr Banana and now, Will Saul and his indomitable Aus Music imprint.
Hofbauer’s ‘Ah! Bats!’ is up first on ‘Four! Beats!’, featuring a speedy dembow beat, rowdy vocal chops, and call-back, signature use of subtle animal sounds that fit right in. The aptly named ‘8 Bar Baile’ is next, a baile funk track built up like 8 bar grime, swapping rhythm in every section for a high-energy, peak-time affair.
Smooth and introspective house cut ‘Scrumble’ then sees whimsical bursts of synths splash on top of delicate drums before Will Hofbauer’s ‘Moss On’ dives deeper underwater with loose arrangement and tripped-out instrumentation.

As part of LOCH INN's v/a compilation 'V​/​A LOCH INN at De School', Rotterdam's SAMWHO taps into a musical lineage that traces back to his Cape Verdean roots. 'Candy's Comfort' is a futuristic clubtrack that accentuates these influences.

Raised on a healthy diet of reggae and dub, SAMWHO knows a thing or two about rhythm and bass. With these two fundamentals he produces numerous sonic worlds, from the UK to West Africa, and defy conventional genre labels.

About the compilation: It's a collection of tracks that resonates with the spirit of its environment. Crafted as a snapshot of the LOCH INN series hosted at De School, 'V/A LOCH INN at De School' encapsulates the diverse talent that contributed to the collective exchange during these events at Het Muzieklokaal.

RED010 marks a powerful statement of intent as we look to the next five years and beyond whilst reflecting on our achievements so far, what we aspire to accomplish and how we can continue to push the sounds that resonate with us. Although it has taken time to reach this milestone, our commitment to quality over quantity remains unwavering.

This compilation serves not only as a collection of club-ready tracks but also as a longform piece suitable to more passive listening. With a total of 14 tracks, it stands as our most extensive release yet, expanding our label family to well over 20 artists. The digital release will be complemented by a physical cassette, perfect for playing in the dusty tape deck of your mate's Vauxhall Corsa as you head to that mad rave in the countryside everyone is talking about.

We are thrilled to announce our collaboration with the Scottish Association for Mental Health (SAMH) on this project with all the profits being donated to this cause. Both Lewis & Ethan have their own personal experiences with mental health difficulties and strongly believe that SAMH is absolutely vital in facilitating the provision and promotion of mental health care, support & information.

PREMIERE: SMIFF - Turtleback [Redstone Press]

Pre-order: https://piezopz.bandcamp.com/album/fast-fists-fest-ansia007

Milanese club experimentalist @piezopz takes a novel approach for his label’s seventh release, taking himself out of the equation entirely on 'Fast Fists Fest' - a five-track compilation spanning the 150-160 BPM bracket.

The record features an exciting double drop from Tokyo's @oyubi, a leading light of Japan’s footwork scene, who delivers a frenzied kick drum workout with ‘Tomy's Siren’.

DJ Polo returns to Livity Sound with an EP that moves beyond the UK funky styles he established alongside Tribal Brothers on The Link Up EP in 2021. Through his productions and steady online radio presence, the Bristol-based producer has been flying the flag for lean, punchy rhythms with a low-end focus, but on If The Glove Fits Polo has branched out to explore different tempos and sounds taking influence from gqom, techno and Afrobeats. 

Much like his approach to funky, this isn’t a set of genre exercises but more a celebration of the shared qualities which bind together dance music from different parts of the world. The result is four sharply-defined club workouts unique to DJ Polo that balance tension and release, flair and subtlety and a consistent physical weight true to Livity’s emphasis on soundsystem suitability.

Despite the efforts of organizers around the world, and the overwhelming disapproval of the international community, Israel continues in their campaign to see the displacement, murder, occupation, and apartheid of Palestinians to its brutal end with the help of the USA and UK.

As artists operating in the West, we call unequivocally for an end to this violence, for justice in the Palestinian struggle, and for the US and UK’s divestment of political and financial capital from the genocidal Israeli state.

We gather this music to offer our solidarity, make our position clear, and encourage others to continue advocating and organizing for the Palestinian liberation struggle.

All proceeds for this compilation will go to Medical Aid for Palestinians (www.map.org.uk).

Rizla Ops joins the NHS orbit with his debut EP release 'Aphid' - An offering of functional, mechanical crawlers that hit disparate BPMs and creep into the territories of many genres of club music that predominantly hail from the shores of the UK. The brief collection highlights a generous dose of maximalism and pairs this with a microcosm of jittering, insectoid syncopation.

Rizla Ops emphasises the magnification of the world that lives in between the cracks of our existence through this collection; he examines the harshness as an inevitable aspect of nature with an scathing and uncompromising lens. The steady march throughout is definite; pacey, systematic rhythms are the focal point of the cohesive selection of tracks that make up this impressive foray into the world of collectivized, paired dance tracks.
