The phone rang off the hook, the shrill tone resounding around the room. Suddenly he jolted upright, out of his daydream and back into reality; back intro the throes of his working day... He took the receiver off the hook, and closed the door to his office - work could wait. Though he'd played the game and hustled his way up to the top, he still believed that people shouldn't spend their whole lives working - working for what exactly? Now he was just counting down the days until he could take that full time vacation.

Proprietors of 'Mutations of the Hardcore Continuum', Melbourne's Branch Points are enlisting the help of six artists for their first ever VA release. Featuring artists from across the globe, the EP brings together Pugilist, Caldera, Dawn Razor, Lithe & Imitation Therapy, Hartta and Barley, all of whom offer up their own takes on functional club music. Of course, it's not that straightforward though: the producers all roam the off kilter spaces of dance music, exploring complex rhythms, staccato beats and rumbling bass frequencies.

PREMIERE: Caldera - Full Time Vacation [Branch Points]

Meta[noia], an experimental electronic music duo based in Colombia, debuts with their first EP entitled "Hélix". This release is a profound exploration of the transformation of perception and mind, a sonic journey that challenges the listener's expectations and evokes a wide range of emotions.

Each track on "Hélix" is a self-contained narrative that transports the listener through dense and enveloping soundscapes. Meta[noia] fuses abstract rhythms with indigenous and modern elements, creating a unique atmosphere that invites introspection and discovery. The music is not only heard, but felt, resonating deeply in the body and mind of those who experience it.

Meta[noia]'s philosophy centers on exploration and experimentation, with a focus on the transmutation of reality and perception. This EP is a journey through the mind, from the vast complexity of the soundscapes to the intimate emotional connection created in each track.

Taila is the starting point of the journey, where the mind begins to transform perception. The track starts with abstract rhythms and unexpected progressions that evolve into a complex soundscape. The sonic density and indigenous elements create an atmosphere that envelops the listener, inviting him to an introspective journey.

Polimnia takes the listener to an unexpected place, a destination where the three divisions of the world meet. The music here is a fusion of modern and traditional sounds, creating a space where one can look in each direction and be caught up in each universe. It is a sonic experience that defies expectations and takes the listener into a state of deep contemplation.

Calliope, represents the culmination of the journey, where the listener is consecrated by the muses. Thalia, Polyhymnia and Calliope inspire this piece with their theatrical and bodily gifts. The track is characterized by a mix of abstract rhythms and complex soundscapes that create an atmosphere of inspiration and deep understanding.

"Helix" is more than an EP; it is a complete sensory experience. Meta[noia] has created a sonic journey that is not only heard, but felt in every fractal of the listener's perception. This EP invites inner exploration, introspection and discovery, leading each listener to a state of personal and emotional transformation.

TBH, Poznań-based producer and DJ; founder of ŚLINA club and a key member of the K8 collective—presents his latest offering: ACCELERATED EP, a sonic exploration of rhythm, texture, and atmosphere that defies easy categorization.

Steeped in hypnotic subbass and meticulously crafted percussive textures, the 5-track EP ventures into the liminal space between structure and chaos. Each track unfolds with an unwavering rhythmic precision, drawing listeners into a trance-like state where the dancefloor becomes an introspective arena.


From tracks imbued with haunting melodic soundscapes, evoking a sense of finality and entropy, to more primal, driving compositions that pulse with the energy of a frenetic crowd, ACCELERATED EP captures the duality of creation: distant yet intimate, enigmatic yet unrelenting.

Designed with the club in mind, TBH’s signature approach ensures these tracks resonate not only as hypnotic experiences but as powerful tools for leftfield movement. ACCELERATED EP is a testament to TBH’s mastery of manipulating soundscapes that provoke, challenge, and ultimately unify on the dancefloor.
