D1 – Bhremix
D2 - Feeling the Heat

The very first Zeitnot album, ZEITLP01, comes from American deep techno don Roman Debnar. Having previously released on Zeitnot with the 'Dark Matter EP', Roman is following this up with a wider variety of club oriented sounds on ‘X’.

Plate 1 comprises four heavyweight dance tracks, featuring bittersweet rave nostalgia in 'Lightsdown', and the swirling bass swamp of 'Anger Management'. 

Plate 2 takes a different turn, down the route of trip-hop and downtempo. Reminiscent of old 90's IDM and breakbeat comps, we see Roman building emotive atmospheres out of his love for hip-hop and electronic music. ‘After Dark’ in particular brings to mind early Black Dog , while on 'Flip Mode' we hear influences from across the pond, in the form of jazzy keys and a stoned out vocal sample.

exclusive | Tom Carruthers - Phone Sexting | M.A.D Records

Tom Carruthers returns to M.A.D Records with his first full EP, "Last Night", following his initial appearance on a various artist compilation back in 2022. Known for his enigmatic style, Carruthers’ latest offering solidifies his standing in the label’s roster. Among the four tracks, “Phone Sexting,” the B1 cut, stands out with its alluring and provocative aesthetic, perfectly encapsulating the EP’s nocturnal and sexy vibe.

“Phone Sexting” is a masterclass in balancing the raw with the refined. Anchored by a hard-hitting bassline, the track commands attention from the outset. The deep, atmospheric chords provide a sense of depth and sophistication, creating a textured backdrop that complements the track’s rhythmic intensity. The use of a sampled moan is a daring touch, adding a layer of sensuality that ties in cleverly with the track’s title and theme. This bold choice lends an undeniable allure, elevating the track from mere functionality to something more evocative and memorable.

Carruthers expertly weaves these elements into a cohesive whole, making “Phone Sexting” a versatile piece that works equally well in the dark corners of a club or as a highlight in a peak-time set. The interplay between the bassline and the chords creates an infectious groove, while the sampled vocal element adds a playful yet sultry edge, ensuring the track leaves a lasting impression.

With “Phone Sexting”, Tom Carruthers showcases his ability to craft dancefloor-ready tracks that are both impactful and intricate. The balance of heavy basslines, lush chords, and provocative vocal samples results in a piece that exudes confidence and creativity. As part of the "Last Night EP", this track not only enhances Carruthers’ reputation but also reaffirms M.A.D Records as a hub for innovative electronic music. Sexy, bold, and undeniably groovy, “Phone Sexting” is a surefire hit for DJs and dancers alike.

Syz launches his new label Vitalizm with VTLZM001, a 4 track sure-shot from its founder of wily club rhythms mutated anew through adventurous construction and intuitive dancefloor nous.

Club rhythms for the soul; a nourishing manifesto for the rave, and for Syz a vital spark through which energy and groove emanate. A prolific producer with a beloved back catalogue, he is no stranger to the sounds that embody the propulsive nature of UK club rhythms. Vitzalizm though is a new venture, his inaugural label founded on the promise of showcasing new and varied developments along the Syz sonic journey. It’s a wide-ranging ethos informed via a complex web of influences that continue to make afresh of club music, while also paying homage to the culture of yesteryears with small vinyl runs and limited lathe-cut dubplate specials.

On VTLZM001, the label’s inaugural release, its founder gets right to it. Down & Twist steps first with an all-round sexy affair, a 2 step mover that swivels deftly on its latin inclinations while updating the early 00’s garage template with fwd> attitude. Next, Bakayadaskunka writhes as a complex beast, busy through the broken beat while its tactile low end purrs and throbs within. Fidget goes faster, a tribal wonderland that pumps giddy yet nimble across its myriad of basslines. The Lizm sees us off, a supple percussive playground which swings playful and loose amongst a livewire of subs, weightless pads and a faint dub echo.

A succinct dancefloor statement of intent from Syz, and an exhilarating beginning for Vitalizm.
