Tred’s bio is a simple one. It reads “high power, deep emotion”, and that about sums up the Tred aesthetic. The Aussie born, Germany based producer has been behind some of contemporary hard dance’s most exciting anthems, and follows up a release on 1Ø Pills Mate with this epic four-tracker for Lobster Theremin.

Capturing all the frantic energy of a Tred set, I’m Not Like Other PPL gets underway with the title track - a punishing cut of stripped back, high velocity techno. Old horror film vocal samples induce an old school, psychedelic experience from within as the track builds and builds towards its imminent climax.

‘Dead Droid’ maintains a spooky feel throughout, it’s off-key atmospherics and marching rhythm channeling that deep emotion that Tred does so well, before ‘Secrets’ strays down a more melodic route with its trancey stabs and hands-in-the-hair energy, unting the worlds of hard and soft.

‘Don’t Need A Thing’ ventures further into this trance-world, with an albeit heavier cut than its predecessor. This is in-your-face hardcore trance - not for the faint hearted, for those that wish to totally immerse themselves in complete rave escapism.

Rounding off the release is a digital only track ‘All Messed Up’, which halts the high-speed onslaught with an emotionally-stirring ambient piece designed to float, captivate and inspire.

LT091 // Tred - I'm Not Like Other PPL

Copenhagen-via-Bulgaria producer Vixen readies her Lobster Theremin debut. Influenced by the high velocity techno sounds of the Danish capital, Vixen has been gathering momentum within her local circuit in addition to being a member of the renowned DIY collective Fast Forward, and here she delivers four cuts of big-room trance-techno.

‘Vibe Catcher’ is as ghostly as it is alien; a sonic trip through solar wastelands and otherworldly graveyards - unapologetic warehouse techno for the misfits of the underworld. ‘Maladaptive Daydreamer’ follows in a similar vein, the energy becoming a little more urgent as strobe lights flash overhead.

‘High Femme Fantasy’ is a homage to the progressive sound re-rise that has infiltrated so much of the contemporary dance music soundscape; a pulsating cut of atmospheric techno. Fun taken seriously. 

Finalising the release is a remix from Danish contemporary royalty - Schacke burst onto the scene releasing on Courtesy’s Kulør label - an imprint dedicated to the sounds of the Danish underground - and an incredible release on Russian label Клуб, and the producers rendition of ‘Maladaptive Daydreamer’ is sure to be a late contender for many people’s track of the year lists.

French artist Trudge returns to Lobster Theremin with his debut LP No More Motivation arriving on March 18th with a genre-bending and original masterstroke; charged as it is cerebral. The album's concept points to the artist's tumultuous relationship with music; plagued by life events and the looming shadow of tragedy. That same relationship however, has led to an album of nuance, a cathartic whirlwind that pushes and pulls from one part of the psyche to the next.

From the laden house sounds found in his earlier work, to the hard-hitting emotive techno we hear today, both Trudges’ personal and artistic evolution runs parallel, drawing between the lines of introspection and dance music’s modern functionality.

Bangkok Radio kicks off proceedings with a reminiscent drive through the city's bustling landscape, as space unfolds the further we travel from the hustle and bustle of daily life. No Motivation, meaningless is a nod to the producer's headspace - burdened by the unpredictability of reality and it’s governing influence on art; echoing throughout the entire album.

Mazzomba explores the duality of light and dark; heavily submerged sounds can be heard melting below the surface, as airy synths create an ethereal glow - acting as our torch through the crud-infested trench. The album's interlude ‘Berserk’ provides a rest bite, an ambient dreamscape laced with deeply layered textures - casting warm fluorescent light amongst the clouds as balance is restored.

Tracks Dead Orange and Gradient demonstrate the artist's knact for intelligent sound-design and world-building soundscapes, while Unghosted and Punishments sees Trudge venture into raw and unwavering compositions created for the dance-floor.

Closing the album is Blue Ritual, a thought-provoking piece that has the ability to transport and heal. It’s introspective layers point to the changing winds to come - rounding off an album not binded by genre, but an eclecticism that characterizes an artist true to his craft.

No Motivation drops on March 18th.

CAIVA exploded onto the scene last year with her folk, jazz and classical blend of hard-hitting techno on Take Me Higher on Lobster Theremin. Now the just-outside-of-Munich artist follows up one of the singles of the year with a complete body of work exploring high velocity sounds and experiences, and comes complete with two wicked remixes from Parisian producer Trudge and Julian Muller.

‘Vigour’ is an intergalactic, bass-driven jam utilising CAIVAs ghostly, folk-like vocals to haunting effect. A tale of two stories; the majority of the track is destined for the club, whilst the breakdown provides a pop-fuelled moment of contemplation. Emotional and powerful escapism. ‘Take Me Higher’ follows this depth of inspiration with a blend of euphoria and sadness with a high power cut of trance-techno that’s as devastating as it is beautiful.

Julian Muller is first up on remix duties as he takes on ‘Vigour’; a typically arcade-inspired trip through the modern trance-techno sound and the high-speed aesthetic of the nineties, before Trudge closes with an ethereal cut of typically textured rhythms within an anxious soundscape.

Fatigue

LT106 // CAIVA - Fatigue

Hackney native Eliza Rose has learned everything she knows from her local soundscape. Growing up on the 2-step and 4x4 rhythms of UK Garage (citing the sounds of Lovestation’s Teardrops and B-15’s Girls Like Us as her first true garage experience) and spending her spare time listening to artists such as Billie Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald and other jazz and soul associated artists has provided the platform for one of London’s leading lights to truly shine - whether it be through house, garage, mo-town, soul or funk - seamlessly blending eras and sounds together through retro-modern vocals and productions on her own Rosebud Recordings.

There couldn’t be a more fitting artist to celebrate Lobster Theremin’s milestone 100th release with, having been a part of the Lobster family for some time now through a long-standing friendship and record shop & label responsibilities, and alongside emerging label affiliate M4A4 the pair deliver 4 killer cuts of 2-step, house-garage and jungle fitting of the moment.

“With Shades of Red I wanted to combine my love of Jazz style vocals alongside my love for UK garage in a way that still felt authentic for both sounds”, she says. “I'm very interested in revamping and presenting the ‘old skool’ for a new audience while hoping that the people who do have respect for these more retro sounds will also appreciate the tracks. For example the lyrics ‘such an uneasy evil' ect in Nyt lyf is a nod to the track of the same name which is one of my favourite Jazz standards.”

‘Night Lyf’ is a bass-driven bouncer; romantic lyricism, skippy beats and punchy production makes for an easy-listening groove that could just as easily go off in the club, while ‘Delectable’ sees Eliza marry lounge-jazz vocalisation with M4A4’s joyous blend of UK and US garage - inspired, uplifting and joyous.

‘Temptation’ is a celebration of the Hackney melting pot; meandering through blues, soul, jazz, house and garage in a contemporary blend of old and new, before a late-night rush in the rave is inspired by the 160 breakbeats and lairy basslines of ‘Troublemaker’s jungle riddim.

DJ Heartstrings trajectory has gone into hyper-drive with their highly infectious releases coming by way of 1Ø PILLS MATE and newly formed label Eurodance. The Berlin based artist’s palette represents a palpable, glowing representation of hyper-trance and techno, with universal appeal and fun firmly at the centre, and with this momentum DJ Heartstring brings us their debut EP on UK mainstay Lobster Theremin; four colourful, club-ready tracks, born to make you move. 

The familiar, pulsating movement of classic trance blends through ‘Met Her at Bâreneck’ inciting feelings of nostalgia and ecstasy before the rays from ‘Meteora Sunrise’ warm our already sweaty faces. The track’s energy is pure in it’s delivery, embracing us like an old friend; ready to say goodbye to winter. 

If you’ve heard ‘Can’t Stop The Night’ from the producers previous record on Eurodance, you will have been floored with its excerburent melodies and unforgettable hooks. On the flip, ‘The Last Hour’ carries a similar vibe, this time by way of it’s hypnotic and mind-altering potency that has all the ingredients to keep us dancing for days. ‘The Last Hour’ has many of the producer's trademark sounds, but sways in a slightly more serious direction, highlighting new sonic territories for the producer. 

Closing the EP is ‘One Night In Glasgow’ which plays out like the penultimate sequence in a movie; the anticipation and heart-racing rhythms coupled with ethereal pads and trance-driven melodies spill on to the city's bustling streets, in a drama best watched front left.

MET HER AT BÄRENECK

LT098 // DJ HEARTSTRING - MET HER AT BÄRENECK

Harrison BDP’s carefully curated and otherworldly approach to dance music is unmatched. Time spent in his countryside home in South Wales has given way to some of his most playful yet thought-provoking work to date. Now the Welsh DJ and producer debuts on MÖRK, combining elements of classic house styles and futuristic soundscapes - locking listeners in a voyage you’ll never want to end. 

Title track ‘Stand Your Ground’ is a seasoned helping of vintage BDP. Rolling snares lock eyes with sprawling acid leads and non-material aesthetics, while the track's foundation comes from the warm, skippy bassline from which every other element answers to. ‘All That’s On My Mind’ spans nine minutes of enhancement, as dense grooves cross paths with rays of sunshine that melt between the trees. Dreamy vocals ascent above the emerald forest acting as our guide. 

‘I Thought I Would Be Different But I Feel The Same’ the title of a track many of us can relate to, is a self reflective piece perfect for late-night strolls and early morning observation, before the record comes to a close with ‘I Made A New Friend Today’. Aquatic synths soar above a stripped back groove, oozing optimism and class, all the while still shrouded in the mystery and depth we’ve come to expect from one of electronic music's most consistent producers.

The Slightly Involved project is a collaboration between Amy Dabbs & Coco Bryce, in which they bring their own styles and techniques to tracks the other artist has recently released.

In this first instalment, using tracks released solely via Lobster Theremin and its sub-labels, Amy Dabbs' Girl Like Me and Allure get the full Coco Bryce treatment, and Amy Dabbs takes on Coco's Twenty One Lies and Ma Bae Be Luv.

Coco, renowned for incorporating elaborately edited layers of breaks samples into his sound, serves up a slice of acid jazz in Geezer Like Me, his take on Amy Dabbs' Girl Like Me. Complementing this, is Allude, an edgier jungle version of Amy's track, Allure.

Amy, who codes her own drum patterns from the ground up, delivers us Twenty One Highs, a liquid style take on Coco Bryce's Twenty One Lies, with Ma Bae Be Blonde, her version of Coco's Ma Bae Be Luv, paying homage to the UK’s early rave era.

Following outings on Rinse FM and HOR, German producer Rove Ranger takes aim on the next release of Lobster Theremin’s full-blooded techno assault; 4 very different cuts of pulsating, bass-driven techno that have one eye in the rear view mirror and the other firmly fixated ahead.

‘CS80’ is an aquatic, rhythmic experience; bubbling with blues, greens and pinks in a techno climate so often associated with grey. A beautiful blend of the new and old school. Tough, but with a touch of soul. ‘Millennial Millenium’ is a blissful trip through neighbouring underworlds and spirit hollows, unrelenting kicks and ghostly atmospherics crafting a cut of psychedelic graveyard techno.

‘La Manana’ is more of a heads-down affair. Punchy bass accompanies the kicks on a track that instantly captivates; less concerned with emotion and more with increasing heart rates; it's a tripped-out, bouncy experience that screams fun. The EP is rounded off with ‘Horse On Acid’. Have you ever seen a horse on acid? We have, and this is exactly what it sounded like.

In Pagan's Words:
Somewhat like my productions, this mix is a bit all over the place genre wise. I went for pure dancefloor energy with this one, which was probably as a result of me still riding the high of some amazing gigs post - lifting of restrictions in Irish clubs. It’s packed with forthcoming tracks from myself that will mostly be making appearances at different points this year, and some tracks from the lobster crew too. Whether you’re listening on the bus, during work, or at an afters - play it loud!

Following an outing on DJ Mag nominated breakthrough label of the year 1Ø PILLS MATE in October, Atlanta-based and NYC-born producer Xiorro readies his Lobster Theremin debut with four cuts of heavy yet varied techno, heavily influenced by the sounds you might hear at ALKHEMY - a collective co-founded by the artist, whose genesis is dedicated to spreading diversity within techno and making space for marginalised, people of colour and women to play - their The Black Hole parties helping to re-shape the NYC soundscape. 

‘A Quien No Le Gusta Duro?’ - ‘Who Doesn’t Like It Hard?’ - attempts to answer its own question across six minutes of ravey hardcore and industrial techno before diverting to a more soulful vibe on ‘Get Down To This’; it’s choppy vocal samples and groove giving off the energy of an NYC ballroom.

‘Shock To The System’ is trance-techno without the cheese; ethereal malfunctions and transcendental atmospherics create something that feels spiritual in its release, while ‘Say It With Your Chest’ closes with a deafening cry of protest on an uncompromising and inspired cut of concrete.

DJ Different’s alter ego Terra Form explores the artist’s tougher, uncompromising self; creating music that meets the needs of the dance-floor with the added ability to load us all into hyper-space. It’s electro but with an added sense of largeness, combining carefully selected sounds with rawness at the center. 

‘Agripinaa’ opens the EP with its commanding kick drums and mind-altering electronics, sending a signal for those willing enough to hear it. ‘Trinity’ then finds the perfect balance between grit and emotion; distorting naturally airy synths and proving that beauty can be found even in the most murky of sounds.

After the record's raucous opening, the ear-wiggling synths and wide-eyed electronics of ‘Hydraulics Chamber’ lure us back in, before the record takes a surprising turn - the stripped-back grooves of ‘XV-88’ show Terra Form’s ability to use only a few nuanced sounds in both a playful and endearing way, while leading us perfectly down the meandering path to the record's closing sequence. 

‘MasterBlaster’ couldn’t be a better suited name and covers almost all the bases. A time-shifting, kinetic overcast that’s both palpable and unapologetic. The Swedish based producer has never reached for the brakes since his career began, merging genres and melting minds. Now the age of Terra Form has well and truly begun.

Arriving on Lobster Theremin’s White Label on comes a fresh-sounding and typically loud release from Leeds vinyl enthusiast Peaky Beats. Never one to be pigeon-holed into a specific style of music, his recent releases have explored 2-step, speed garage and dub - bringing his wicked ear for big UK blends into the spotlight - and earmarking him as one of the UK’s most exciting emerging producers. 
On Paradise Falls EP, Peaky Beats unites the worlds of jungle, drum & bass and 2-step on a high velocity, future-facing project, with a little help from contemporary jungle legend Tim Reaper.
‘Paradise Falls’ is a melodic stepper that ventures close to 150BPM territory. Those skippy UKG elements are all there, but this time with a hefty dose of jungle influence which brings a certain weightlessness to the track. ‘Soul Diesel’ ventures further into the garage sphere; the velocity diminishing slightly as the vitality continues to soar. Introspective breaks for sunny days. 
‘Tangerine Dream’ is a prime old school cut of dubbed-out nostalgia. Sitting somewhere between The Streets, El-B and Coco Bryce, its deep bass-weight inspires  big ‘Any Jungle In, Guy?’ energy, before Tim Reaper’s remix of ‘Paradise Falls’ blows the bloody doors off with a typically emotive and atmospheric cut of jungle fantasia.

Lobster Theremin with T-N & Peachlyfe - 21 April 2022

Founder of label Whirlwind Trax and collective ALKHEMY and their party The Black Hole Adrestia joins us for a special high energy podcast this week. The Brooklyn-based artist serves up a mix that thoughtfully builds into spell-binding peak time techno, with a tapestry of playful vocals, driving percussion and infectious rave energy.

In Adrestia's Words:
It’s always a pleasure putting together a mix that slowly builds that tension, but also evokes a shake-your-booty kind of mood at its peak. I tend to gravitate towards tracks with vibrant energy, but still a sense of playfulness to them. Lots of driving percussion, sassy vocals and feel-good grooves that give you those special goosebumps on the dance floor.

Lobster Theremin with Alexisitry and OTON - 05 May 2022

Debuting on Sydney based label Gallery Records in 2020 - inspired by the lack of female faces in a male-dominated scene - AK Sports has been setting the standard for her style of high energy, new-age rave spanning breaks, electro, grime, jungle, techno as she finds her footing in the contemporary electronic circuit between London and LA.

Releases and remixes have followed on Dansu Discs, Mad Decent and CLUB GLOW (where she produced a collaborative EP with rising artist Kessler), and now the Aussie producer readies her Lobster Theremin debut; six varied and stylistic cuts of techno, electro and distinct Sports-rave.

‘Dial Up’ is a pirate radio inspired, scattered break warper that captures an underground, empty warehouse energy. Flashes of bright, coloured lasers enter the fray on ‘You Want Some’ - an uplifting, happy-hardcore influenced cut of breakbeat-techno - before the progressive, bubbling patterns of ‘Listen Now’ deepen the undercurrents.

The B-side opens with ‘Odorimashou!’ - a lo-fi industrial experiment laced with trance and jack-hammer melodies - while ‘Flame On’ switches the vibe again with it’s high-speed, malfunctioning electro aesthetic. 

Bringing Displaced to an end is ‘The Humans Are Dead’ - a dystopian trip through a Fallout-like apocalypse soundtracked by 80s horror styled melodies and futuristic laser blasts.

Fabric resident Anna Wall and production partner Corbi link up again for the first time since their debut EP ‘DATs In The Attic’ dropped on Ritual Poison in 2019. Between then, Anna has gone on to release music on her own label Dream Theory and turned in a gorgeous deep cut for music platform 22 tracks’ final send off before closing. Corbi has been no stranger to production either, heading up important label Fina records and releasing stand-out EPs on Rough Recordings & Kouncil Cuts.

The pairing bring their newfound knowledge to LTWHT, shape shifting between colorful displays of breakbeat and melodic perfume. Ahead of the release, Anna & Corbi spoke of their love of digging into the past, delving into old techno and rave records and inspired by artists like LFO. While the influences are apparent their sound remains unique, contemporary and flourishing with personality. 

Title track ‘Persistence’ opens with choppy breakbeats and deep subs, adding extra depth and weight; providing the perfect base for the record's shimmering synth lines. ‘Consciousness’ then conjures wide-eyed atmospherics, joining hands with a soothing, deep bassline and diamond shaped arpeggio. ‘I’m just changing consciousness’ is gently spoken as the track ebbs and flows across the oceans moon-lit surface. 

Subtly euphoric and inherently introspective, B side opener ‘Take A Moment’ shows a developing side to the pair's growing sonic palette. Early trance meets breakbeat, in an emotive display of otherworldly electronics and primordial whispers. The tracks bassline and lead add an extra layer of playfulness, turning the track from a cerebral workout to a blissful dance around an open flame. The record comes to a close with ‘Regardless’ an acid inspired dream that unfolds amongst a backdrop of clouded pads and intoxicating patterns.

Following a debut Berghain performance and Rinse FM Culture vs Reality residency, Overthinker Mob founder Bloomfeld prepares the genesis of his digital art renaissance. Meeting at the intersection of ethno-futuristic braindance and hedonistic club heat is LT-BLOOM-01, the artist's debut on Lobster Theremin and a release that marks new sonic territory for the important UK label.

As the founder of the Overthinker Mob research label, the Berlin based artist has “rejected conventional formats for releasing music” (FACT Mag) by “putting out unfinished or overthought music from artists anonymously” (Resident Advisor), compiling “a diverse range of anti-ego club tunes and sombre atmospheres'' (Electronic Beats). While allowing for the heads to over-intellectualise, Bloomfeld’s output often exposes what comes out of the speakers as just wiggly hair. After all, existence is a cosmic joke.

“My debut release is an introspective work documenting some of the characters I slipped into since my teenage years,” he says. “It’s named LARP OS - LARP being short for live-action role play - because role-playing is how I interact with my environment. And how everyone else does.”

“For my part, I am blessed with the ability to distinguish and compartmentalise the characters I adopt to navigate my circumstances, and I have a strong bond with all of them.”

Glueing together the personas that live inside the creator’s skull, LARP OS is a deconstructed trip through trap-laden hi-hats, screw-face grime, and IDM-electronica that walks the tightrope between functional and malfunctioning. ‘Beep U’ kicks things off with a melting cut of 140bpm fuck-step; weightless, slow-mo atmospherics give off a vintage music-box vibe that when blended with pitched vocal samples is reminiscent of the golden-years of Plata, Mssngno, and those artists associated with emo, R&B-laden electronica.

‘Osmosis’ maintains the grimey aesthetic and sky-rockets it into the time-ahead; a future-facing cut of vibrant melodies and distorted basslines that do not sound unlike the excellent, mind-bending productions of Strict Face. With gun-shot samples a-plenty, it’s as tropical as it is dark.

That darkness is followed on ‘Solid’; a wub-driven cut of underground bass-weight that sounds like it was taken straight out of a Mumdance set. Squelching slime, stabbing lasers and scattered breaks make for a gritty and raw experience, before that ‘Everyday I’m Hustlin’ energy comes through on ‘Yeah, Cool’; Memphis-trap elements and old school arcadia rolling around the broken soundscape.

Much like Loraine James’ excellent Reflection, the A-side comes to a close with zero-gravity basslines and Sonic The Hedgehog-like samples that sound like an old gaming machine is being sucked through a black-hole, before the B-side begins and the future-dancehall riddims of ‘Need More Sky’ play out.

‘Simulation’ and ‘Voodoo Bref’ capture the delicate essence of chaos, beauty and nuance - elements essential to each character that we shapeshift into in our short time on this rolling planet.

‘Where Were U Rly Born’ is an emotional piece of wordless social commentary subtitled by glitching kicks, emo-atmospherics and protest, defiant-like energy, while ‘Mondainai’ hears the cries of one-more-tune before ending on a devastating cut of distorted, hip-hop fused dub.

Lobster Theremin with T-N & CLITS - 19 May 2022

NYC based singer, multi instrumentalist and prolific producer Heidi Sabertooth brings her experimental and grungy sound to the fore, with a fierce EP examining the grainiest textures in dance music. It’s been over three years since she brought her unique brand of raw techno to Lobster Theremin, and now Heidi deepens her relationship between art and modern-day living in a blend of controlled chaos.

Opening track ‘Screaming Into The Abyss’ does exactly that, with its use of muddled voices and melancholic allure, glued loosely together with vintage acid and the producer's deep love of hardware. There’s a playfulness to follow up ‘Slide Into My DM’, Hedi’s elements seemingly communicating telepathically in a game of mutant-chess. Grooves and otherworldly dynamics flux and spill while splashes of reverb make it anything but predictable.

B side opener ‘Pissed’ maintains this raw aesthetic, sounding both mechanical and free-flowing with its foreboding melodies, melting between heavy bass and screeching pads; remaining functional but full of beautiful, unconventional touches. The record comes to a close with title track ‘Insane In The Cat Brain’ a disorientated affair encapsulating the restlessness and uncertainty of our times, spearheaded by an artist never afraid to take risks.

Following two seminal EPs for Lobster Theremin and a breakout debut for Nous, Route 8's 'Dry Thoughts EP' gets a wavy rework. Gone are the title track and B2 and in is 'Relaxed', a summer house anthem that slams from the high heavens. Eagle-eared LT fans will spot what this track was in it's previous guise, the rest can just sit back and be cuddled to death by warm synths.

Pano EP

TRP - Pano

Sweely comes crashing through the windows of the Distant Hawaii beach house HQ with a humungous, stomping, NY-Jersey inspired EP that combines war drum level percussion with soulfully flowing vocals and lush pads galore.

All The Reasons has done the rounds for a while now and it's an absolute monster. Massive heaving kicks rumble under clattering hats and a soft, woozy pad and hawt-as-hell vocal flourishes.

Following on a similar tip, Around is a more extended affair, morphing from a brooding down-pitched moaner to a arm-throwing, hip-slinging Jersey banger straight outta NYC.

On the flip, Yes He is keeps the New York house vibes flowing on a slightly more low slung tip. One for the slow summer Sunday terrace dance. Lastly, Blue Faces takes a plunge into the deep blue, skin fizzing with the cold caress of salt-water and seaweed on freshly sun-kissed skin. One for the sunset and sea-lovers.
