MR006 crashes in straight from Brno, carving out a sonic current mirroring the ever-mutating scene. COUNT’s latest EP, a playful yet razor-sharp exploration of sound, provides a pack of oddly satisfying rollers. Spanning a spectrum of 140+, this four-track offering blends three originals with a remix from HEDO HYDR8 

THIRD TAKE starts off with CONVULSE, a pacey breakbeat track created to shake the early (and quicker) hours of the morning. The project then takes a more introspective approach as FIREWALL BLOCK rolls into the #2 stop. With a similarly quick BPM register, FIREWALL BLOCK employs traces of dub and jungle along its varied storyboard. Coming up next is BLACKTAIL, a headbanger turned electro track suitable for a variety of people, places, and things. Bring up the caboose* is a remix from HEDO HYDR8. This time it's a fully pumped up techno remix of the aforementioned track.

After 5 standout releases, including debuts from many fresh faces to the left-of-field underground scene, Plasma Sources presents its inaugural compilation: Multi-Source. It brings together the current label family and a slew of other artists operating on the cutting- edge of dance floor electronics for a multi-genre, sound design heavy, wild ride. In turn, the label takes aim at establishing itself as one of the most exciting imprints in the experimental club scene.
From the 90BPM cinematic, Lorn-esque sludge of newcomer Guide’s ‘Gemological’ to the crisp staccato transients and negative space of Ziyiz’s ‘Plastic Sentiments’, each track adheres to one of the guiding principles that the label has employed so effectively to curate it’s platform, irrespective of tempo: a love for sci-fi aesthetics and a desire to transpose these into sonic equivalents.

Plasma Sources has always prided itself on delicately balancing dark and light, release to release. On Multi-Source, this broad spectrum is in full vision. Reinartz offers up dubbed- out, IDM-esque desolation on ‘Action Bias’, whilst Stolen Velour’s ‘Suigetsu’ brings a bright playfulness - high-pitched vocal cuts marry pulsating, organic beats which sound like if Untold’s Hemlock output got a 2024 facelift. Some tracks, like Prior Self’s brooding yet fidgety ‘Turn Out’ and Klahrk & Atrice’s flange-fuelled ‘You’ve Changed’ occupy the centre of this continuum with their takes on high-tempo techno-influenced mutations.

The full label family comes back to join in on the fun. HYPNA and NIQH team up on a collaboration which perfectly unites their sounds under a 4-bar bass-heavy roller laden with noise. NIQH offers up their own track, exploring crystalline club structures on ‘Pressure’. unearth’s cinematic, wasteland-ridden sound is in clear focus on ‘Safe Tread’ and Beton Brut’s signature grime-concrète comes through loud and clear on ‘WWW’.

Cortical offer up ‘Hammer’, a continuation of their relentless avant-techno manifesto established by their debut, whilst J-Shadow rounds things off with a space-age jungle- exploration on ‘X-38'.
The juxtaposition of dark and light. The delicate balancing of experimentalism and dance floor sensibilities. The interweaving of sci-fi and biologically-infused sound design. These are the key aesthetics with which Plasma Sources has approached its output ever since release no.1.
Multi-Source acts as a confirmation of this manifesto as it looks forward to 2025 and its future as a key player in the experimental club scene.

RUTA unveils its second Various Artists compilation, Erre, a release rooted in club music experimentation and aligned with the label’s commitment to a transnational creative ethos. With contributors hailing from Colombia, Mexico, Ecuador, Germany, the U.S., China, U.K., and France, the compilation reads as a dispatch from a network of producers who share an intuitive understanding of rhythm-forward, bass-weighted dance music, no matter where they call home.

The tracklist offers a dynamic, shapeshifting palette: vocal-driven club tracks collide with broken rhythms, angular leftfield techno mutations, dembow-oriented tools, and even UK garage hybrids. No single genre binds it all together, only a sonic attitude marked by intensity, boldness, and a diasporic rhythmic fluency.

Erre is more than a showcase of tracks, it signals a maturation moment for RUTA, a label of Colombian origin operating from Germany, as it shapes its position within a more global, post-local club continuum. By drawing together both long-time collaborators and newer voices connected by a shared musical language, Erre builds not just a compilation, but an evolving platform for shared expression.

London-based Indian producer Noni-Mouse debuts on Early Reflex with Eyes IV, the latest installment in the label’s Eyes two-tracker series. Following a series of acclaimed genre-fluid releases, Noni-Mouse arrives on the label with her heaviest record yet: a pair of raw, shadowy club cuts that double down on percussive pressure and weighty basslines.With a background that spans 2-step, hardcore, and experimental club music, Noni-Mouse has become known for her sticky top lines, restless rhythmic sense, and tactile grooves. On Eyes IV, she dives into a darker, more physical register—retaining her unmistakable bounce while testing the limits of a more abrasive, stripped-back sound.Opening track “Bracket” lays down lurching breakbeat mechanics and squashed bass beneath flickers of manipulated vocal and synth debris—skipping along the edge of chaos with precision and swing. “Model” stretches out the mood with tense pacing and syncopated drum work, where melodic fragments smear across a pulsing low-end and flickering hi-hats, creating a hypnotic pull built for strobe-lit floors.Eyes IV is a statement of intent from one of the most forward-thinking voices in the contemporary underground—a sharp-edged, club-ready exploration of rhythm and tone from an artist who continues to surprise.

Noni-Mouse said: "With this release, I was attempting to test this ‘gritty, percussive’ sound that is currently heard across clubs and festivals, by crafting those grooves with breaks, while preserving that signature 'bounce'. The textural melodies are my favourite, as they end up adding another layer of percussion to the arrangement, creating this compelling groove that hits the spot"‘Eyes IV’ is available on all platforms starting from Friday 12th September 2025.

Listen to "SideQuest Nap (Maoupa Mazzocchetti Remix)" by Meli Mena taken from "POLYT001 "COUGH TWICE IF YOU CARE" fa:act / Meli Mena" out on August 29th via Polytope

Pre-order: https://polytopebxl.bandcamp.com/album/polyt001-cough-twice-if-you-care-fa-act-meli-mena

"Our first Polytope EP welcomes two wonder kids from the European bass music scene: the Brussels-based fa:act and Meli Mena from Paris. They have worked hard to deliver you a 6-track, club-ready opus, with a special collaboration and a remix by Maoupa Mazzochetti.

"COUGH TWICE IF YOU CARE" explores the depths of the hardcore continuum with a special twist from these two talented artists:

fa:act created two dancehall-inspired bangers with his iconic touch: "Wizard Bubble" and "Breeze and Riddim".

Meli Mena has produced two high-energy club gems with break influences and IDM resonances: "Hot Girls Get Sad" and "SideQuest Nap."

They both released the already famous 140 bpm club anthem "Dust Drip," which has destroyed many dancefloors all over the world.

All these tracks got the Maoupa Mazzocchetti special analog treatment; he also gifted us with a strong remix of "SideQuest Nap" from our dear Meli Mena."
