3 years in the making, Haŵs 15th release comprises five evocative, glossy cuts produced by talented artist and label friend; Wyatt. His ‘Netherwood’ EP is a time capsule back to his hometown Norwich, turning memories into alchemical moments, a sensory voyage of stripped-back breakbeat, travel intercom samples and ear-worm melodies.

We have rolled around to one of my favourite forms of Holding Hands releases. The various artists goodness that is Slam Jams, this being number 3.

I have drafted in bangers of the highest calibre from the likes of Ste Roberts, Bolam, Inner Zone and Yosh. They go high, they go low, they go fast and they go…slightly less fast. If you like slammers, and I’m guessing that you do, then this will be a veritable day out at the fair for your ears.

OK enough of my blather. Go and listen to the damn things yourself and decide if you like them, rather than trying to work it out from reading a bloody press release you weirdos. 

All four tracks are produced and sculpted for the club. They want big sound systems and dark rooms. Close your eyes, hold hands and experience transcendental space flight...

Klasse Wrecks continues its expedition through the wilderness of early 2024 with a release from your favourite producers' favourite producer. Bufo Bufo continues his golden run after sterling records for the likes of Cabaret with a unique 4 tracker for Wrecks. Distilling all styles and influences into one record, 'Beelzebufo' sees the producer capture rare species of electro, breakbeat and mangled rave together...resulting in a supernatural sonic hybrid. Play with caution...the sounds you hear maybe devastating to your ear.

‘Tek Code’ is the latest release by Boorloo/Perth-based @beltrac, released on the city’s own @onorecordsperth. 

‘Digital Ecosystem’ is a sexy & gritty bounce between the angled dance floors of tech-minimal, and the limb-loosening moments of drum & bass. With a breathy vocal punctuating a rich tapestry of bleeps & kicks, the track is an addictive listen that clearly demonstrates the producer’s ability to layer depth & texture without sacrificing on fun.

Across five tracks, Beltrac is set to provide a fresh approach to cerebral club sounds, across dubbed-out-minimal rollers, tech-house and breaks. 

Of the release, ONO said that “combining careful attention to detail and excellent technical production with an undeniable sense of groove, Beltrac delivers a club ready EP that tickles our brain while keeping our body moving.

Turn it up loud, this one’s for the late night crew.”

‘Tek Code’ releases on Friday, November 22 via @oneeyewitness.

PREMIERE: Beltrac - Digital Ecosystem [ONO Records]

India-based label and collective, Padmini Records are proud to announce their first offering in the form of ‘Yaar–Dost vol. 01’,
a compilation of some of the country’s finest purveyors of dance music.
‘Yaar–dost’ is an age-old phrase that literally translates to ‘friends, buddies’ (or thereabouts). Padmini is built around this rather simple concept — to create a community that is truly welcoming, a consortium of ideas, and a safe space to share knowledge openly.

An undulating journey through the varied landscape of India’s rave scene, the compilation is designed to be heard as an album. Beginning with the meditative musings of Hiranya, the album turns to the broken beat explorations of Oceantied, 8-Bit Culprit and Mutable Mercury, before finally building up to the hypnotic grooves of Angus 12, OX7GEN & Inspector Maal.
‘Yaar–Dost’ is an invitation to move; to see the world with the clarity that only a 4 am dancefloor epiphany can provide.

Look Like makes his debut on Clone Royal Oak with a great four track ep! A fresh take on classic house music. Italo house, Balearic beat, Chicago's stomp and Detroit's funk all stirred up into a nice loose hybrid that seems to become Look Likes signature sound. Lovely stuff!! If you havent heard from him just yet... also check out his cool releases on DVS1's Misstress label and Drum Poet Society!

The closing track off LKR006 is a spontaneous and colourful rejig of Upper Function by break through Perth (Now Melbourne Based) producer Roza Terenzi. Scattered arpeggios and a bouncy bass line sit between her signature sounding drum's which occasionally switches to the original drum's at moment's. Topped with cruisey pads and conga's it's a lighter take on the original which is hard to picture, but she did it and pulled it off with flair!

Physical's out now via a large range of stores and via our band camp...
