The first long player to drop on Radiant Records is Pansy Beat, the debut album from label head Byron Yeates.

The ten tracks on Pansy Beat are suffused with Byron’s musical influences, showcasing the full breadth and depth of his sonic world. Woven with subtle nods to the UK rave continuum, the album reverberates with the sounds of ’90s London radio that soundtracked Byron’s early years.

Starry-eyed IDM, jangly electronica, rolling drum and bass, and playful references to new wave and synth-pop converge alongside the rich tapestry of house music on which Yeates has built his reputation as a DJ and producer.

Carefully arranged and seamlessly flowing, the tracks balance playful charm with serious intent — insouciant basslines, glossy synths, dreamy pads, and moody atmospherics are laced with clever sampling and intricate percussion — a journey to the end of the night that tiptoes between euphoria and melancholy with a subversively camp pop sensibility.

Sitting somewhere between a dance music and home listening album, Pansy Beat echoes the mood of a DJ set from Byron Yeates: an intimate, seductive, and playful collection of tracks, grounded by a classic sensibility shaped by a lifetime of musical word-building.

BYRON YEATES - PANSY BEAT

with a deep-dive into his eclectic record collection, sofia based @philip-chernikov delivers a mix full of timeless and wide-ranging groovers

trip to phantasy #11 PHILIP CHERNIKOV

Drum grooves left behind on the disk drive of an old SP1200, a rusted spring reverb and crates of dusty records, all boxed up in a distant relative’s workshop. @commandd has uncovered the first tracks in a series of forgotten gems of a distant relative, a craftsman inspired by the raw style of 90s house and techno.

On a mission to keep dancefloors moving, this long-lost relative’s productions find new life, with a hope to travel from city to city, deejays responsible for carrying sounds forged in the fire of an undeniable groove. 

The Vibesmith is the work of an alchemist with the freedom to embrace imperfection and find solace in tradition.

With no concern for passing trends, the Vibesmith went about thankless work at the forge, the fruits of their labour finally available for all to taste.”

Command D presents ‘Fever’, the first in a series of releases under his no muss, no fuss imprint ‘The Vibesmith’. Taking inspiration from Junior Byles’ 50s era joint, also called ‘Fever’, the track is a reinvigoration of an inescapable vibe sure to capture the attention of any willing dance floor.

The smith forges on, with no doubt many more to come.

‘The Vibesmith 001’ releases as a double single via Command D’s Bandcamp this Friday, August 29.

Amsterdam label Spectral Bounce recruits French club stalwart @chris-carrier-841295497 for SPEC06 — Perfect Encounter. Active since 1994, the Parisian artist has released a wellspring of records on Robsoul, Slapfunk and his own Sound Carrier recordings, parallel to his longtime career as a DJ. Characterised by swirling delays and progressive arrangements, Perfect Encounter shows the producer exploring the mesmeric corners of tech house, ideally fitted to the Spectral Bounce aesthetic.

Opener “XLR8” starts with rolling toms that make way for fluid, modulated tones; each bar ebbs and flows to the sweeping synths set in motion by Carrier. Processed with a multitude of delays, rhythmic FX boldly swish above the drums, making for an immersive soundstage. Second track “Light Side” retains the billowing echoes but moves more nimbly, cutting things back to make for a spacious and breezy number. Its croaking synths hop around the stereo field, accompanied by tight percussion and a walking bassline.

The hallucinogenic “Third Moon” sees Carrier step further into trance-inducing territory. The track’s pulsing, syncopated bass note thrums underneath an arpeggio that evolves into a heady prismatic drone. While the chugging beat is ever-present, melodic refrains rise up and evaporate like wisps of vapour, alongside a vocal that fades away as quickly as it appears. The EP’s eponymous “Perfect Encounter” dials up the tension and closes the record with a mysterious touch. Speedy 16th note patterns propel the beat, creating shifty rhythms that rattle and hiss. A rasping, gelatinous synth and squeaky detuned tones resemble extraterrestrial signals — alien morse code for an enraptured dancefloor.

love this track ever since I got to see them playing it live, felt fit for a 4x4 deep repackaging.
