Ransom Note Records are over the moon to welcome illustrious French Electronic duo Froid Dub to the fold for the debut 12” vinyl release with us, Tears Maker Chant. Head honchos of the wonderful Delodio label, Stéphane and François, mark the 50th release for R$N Recs, and this is without a shadow of a doubt an incredibly special one for us. So, sit back and ready yourself for some inimitable Froid Dub cuts; laid back but pounding, graceful yet aggressive but above all, thoroughly danceable.

Opening proceedings is the Acid tinged Just One, a masterclass in making people dance at under 80bpm. Achingly gorgeous polysynth chords rain down, hovering like a film overhead the saturated 303 line that wobbles along in the low end. First single On The Nose enters next, with a delightfully soft, round bass that feels like bouncing around a padded room. Inside a Zorb. On MDMA. More echoed, analogue motifs dart from left to right, confirming with strong conviction that our chaps from Paris put the Dub in Indubitably Fantastic.

Digital Pond closes side A of the 12”, a low slung, nonchalant piece of mood music. Idiosyncratically “French” , brittle chords piece the sound stage, evoking past Italo Disco spaces, but remaining conscientiously chug-dubbed out. Second single Control (Special Mix) opens side B… with a capital B. For Banger. Another Space Echo heavy workout in the lower frequencies of the audio spectrum, this is testament to the old adage that less is often, a hell of a lot more (to paraphrase).

The titular Tears Maker glides into view next, with its frantic 808 patterns and spacey melodica, setting the scene for the majesty to follow. This epically proportioned tune is probably going to be a little passe come the end of summer, because it’s going to be played at festivals the world over relentlessly. Be warned! Finally Terri’s Dub brings matters to a close, with its angular, stands and woozy vocals, we’re given the space and tie to contemplate what has just happened to us on two mere sides of vinyl.

With Pas Ma Croix ("Not My Cross"), Leroy Se Meurt delivers a fierce opening statement to their new album, a track that hits with the force of a protest chant. The phrase, repeated like a mantra, rejects imposed burdens and inherited guilt. "We didn’t ask for this. We didn’t agree to this. So why should we carry the weight?"

Driven by raw, minimalist electronics, Pas Ma Croix is both a refusal and a release, bold, urgent, and unafraid. Uncompromising in message and stripped of ornament, it offers no frills, no distraction. Just pure kinetic energy designed to ignite dancefloors and channel collective frustration into movement and resistance.

This single is the first glimpse into "Hier Pour Tojours" (MNQ 168) , Leroy Se Meurt’s forthcoming full-length album out in October 2025 on Mannequin Records

We’re back with GNC Record’s digital series with a split EP from Omen and Intruso, producers and colleagues based in Barcelona. ‘Explosiones Programadas’ is made of a combination of peaktime heavy hitters and deep timeless after hours tracks, that captivate the dancefloor through ascending mental sounds that disintegrate, leaving space for something new to emerge, insisting that calmness and chaos are not always in conflict and that they can coexist as parts of the same universe.

The release begins with two tracks from Intruso, the first one brings resonant synthesizers and immersive atmospheres that are ideal for a peaktime moment at the club. The second one, a collaboration with Ludviq, has broken rhythms, unexpected turns and rogue synths which generate a state of metallic trance, building up upon the previous track.

The narrative continues with three tracks from Omen, the first one with a higher tempo and powerful breakbeats, along with deep sounds and hypnotic vocals that tell the dancefloor to remain calm, overlapping harmonically with the intense drum patterns. The second track goes even deeper, with a timeless downtempo groove that blends itself with reverberating atmospheres and looped samples that disintegrate themselves, leaving space for new sounds to surface. Finally, the EP comes to an end with house drum patterns and spontaneous one-shots, building up intensity again and leaving the dancefloor just on point for the session to continue.

What I Want

From the very beginning, Tassilo was there. When Electric Shapes was still finding its footing, he was one of the first artists to believe in the project. Under his former alias 1989, he delivered one of the earliest podcasts for the platform — a gesture that would set the tone for years of artistic synergy to follow.

Based in Frankfurt, Tassilo’s sound evolved and matured as he shed his alias and began releasing music under his real name. With his signature style — dreamy, hypnotic, and slow-burning — he soon caught the attention of the international scene, including a standout EP on the acclaimed Neubau label. But even as his profile grew, his commitment to Electric Shapes never wavered.

He was the very first to accept an invitation to perform at an Electric Shapes event back in 2020, marking a pivotal moment in the label’s journey. And when the pandemic hit and Electric Shapes transitioned from a collective into a full-fledged label, Tassilo once again showed his unwavering support by contributing music for release — not just once, but consistently.

Since the launch of the Unreleased Territory compilation series, Tassilo has been part of every single edition. Whenever a remix was needed, he was the first to say, “Yes, of course.” His solo EP on Electric Shapes became one of the label's early successes, helping to build its reputation and audience.

It's no exaggeration to say that without Tassilo Vanhofen, the evolution of Electric Shapes would be hard to imagine. He’s been there at every key moment — a true cornerstone of the label’s story.

The afterimage remains.
"Drip in Silence" is where it all collapses. Downtempo and airy, it's coming down through fog
and memory. She’s gone. Maybe she never was. The night lingers, like condensation on
skin, like bass inside the chest.
The comedown track: slow, ghostly, and strangely tender.

Drip in silence

First breakbeat track I ever made. Drums were sampled, bass was made with Vital and there are some old sample library sounds in there too. Purely for education purposes but I want to make more in this style.

Berlin-based record label Wie Ein Gott prepare to unleash ‘Sledgehammer‘ from Berlin-based producer XTR Human...Our pick is Baha‘s version of ‘Sledgehammer‘ thanks to its warehouse-primed techno sermon infused in euro-trance sweat. Kicking off with smoked vocals and horror-score synths, the track plunges into a blackout of breaks. As the track evolves, thumping kick-drums intertwine with bleached arpeggios and decayed monologues, wrapping the audience in a climax of ecstasy.
