He walked atop the padded floor across the gym, taking in the uncomfortable stares and awkward glares from onlookers. The machines rattled, raced and echoed as people pushed their bodies to the limit, testing their endurance and strength. The room was hot, the heat reverberated between dense writhing figures and soon too he would feel just as phased by the dizzying warmth. Now as he approached his station he began to move and sway, for his workout, his routine was a dance. 

Escape Artist is a producer we've kept a close eye on over the years, having released a number of tracks which have caught our ears. The Australian producers latest appearance is on a compilation by Truth, a sprawling affair which features cutting edge electronics and material for the dance.

Perill - Sumatriptan EP (PLATA001)

FR
Quelques mois après avoir convié huit producteur-rice-s francophones de haut-vol pour un long format, La Forge s’écarte momentanément de la formule ‘Crysta Ampullaris’ pour une proposition plus radieuse et solaire. Dans ‘Crysta Ensolaris’ s’exprime l’optimisme du retour à la fête tant attendu après plus d’un an de privation, comme un besoin manifeste de se retrouver et de communier pendant ces doux moments de rêverie, diurnes comme nocturnes, qui nous manquent tant.
Retour au format EP pour notre noyau dur composé des producteurs Nigm, Slowglide, Lebird, Shonen Bat et Ayuji, qui nous gratifie de cinq tracks à très haut potentiel U.V. Introduction tout en douceur avec ‘Ephemeral’ de @nigm-lau, pépite downtempo introspective aux allures de voyage mystique en plein zénith, parsemé de mirages et autres illusions soniques. @Slowglide fait monter l’acide à grands renforts de breakbeats dans l’incantatoire ‘Solstice’, morceau psychédélique aux relents big beat parfaitement calibré pour ambiancer une teuf néopaïenne.
Soudain, l’éclipse. Banger electro de haute voltige, ‘Adonia’ de @lebirdmusic nous emmène au fond d’une nuit caniculaire dans laquelle les chairs ondulent et se choquent, le souffle coupé par les impacts de kicks. L’enfant terrible @shonen-bat nous propulse ensuite dans une gigantesque rave solarpunk en gravité zéro avec ‘Planet Serotonia’, morceau extraterrestre hybride entre house breakée et UK hardcore protéiné. Enfin, @ayujimusic conclut l’épopée avec ‘Heliopolis’, petit joyau de house solaire et véloce mélangeant techno de Détroit et sonorités trance, dernier rush de dopamine au lever du soleil avant que la fête se termine.
Sortie digitale (Bandcamp, Spotify, Apple Music,...) le 23 juin 2021.
Mastering par Robin Cordier (@skwig) @ Vernacular Studios.

After having invited, a few months ago, eight of the best producers France currently has to offer, La Forge now temporarily steps away from the ‘Crysta Ampullaris’ series for a more radiant and solar output. ‘Crysta Ensolaris’ is fueled by the optimism inspired by the perspective of soon getting back on the dancefloor, after more than a year of privation : this sheer need to reunite and come together, be it day or night, during these sweet moments of daydream that we’ve all been missing so much.
Back to an EP formula, our core main producers (Nigm, Slowglide, Lebird, Shonen Bat & Ayuji) gratify us with five tracks full of U.V. vibes. Soothing introduction ‘Ephemeral’, by Nigm, is an introspective downtempo nugget, not unlike a mystical journey under a zenith sun, with its load of sonic mirages and illusion. Then Slowglide turns the acid up, layering breakbeats into the incantatory ‘Solstice’, a big-beat-infused psychedelic track perfectly designed to launch a neo-pagan rave.
Suddenly, here comes the eclipse. Lebird’s ‘Adonia’, a high-energy electro banger, takes us to one of those sweltering nights when bodies undulate and collide, breathless as the kick drum hits. Then, wild kid Shonen Bat propels us towards a gigantic solarpunk rave in zero gravity with ‘Planet Serotonia’, a hybrid, alien-sounding track somewhere between breakbeat house & high-protein UK hardcore. Finally, Ayuji puts a finishing touch to this fantastic trip with ‘Heliopolis’, a swift, solar house gem mingling Detroit techno influences with some trance elements. Like an ultimate rush of dopamine at sunrise, just before the party draws to a close.
Digital release on June 23, 2021 (Bandcamp, Spotify, Apple Music,...).

Natal Zaks aka Mr. IRL sets the bar for fellow Århus based label 'Lightweight Electronics', contributing a 13 track LP to make up the label's inaugural release tited 'Synthesized Emotion', which was simutaniously produced to soundtrack a film produced by Natal, commissioned by the team at Strøm Festival. 

Staying true to Natal's varied output across varied monikers, 'Synthesized Emotion' is an eclectic display of a forward-thinking producer; giving nuances to how futuristic dance music would sound in space, curating the soundtrack for a stunning film, of which you can view here: https://vimeo.com/446785453 

The current offering perfectly embodies the LP's sound, and accompanying visuals. With a cosmic feel summated by heavily syncopated drums, terrestrial synth squeals and a gurgling bassline, extra terrestrial travel has never sounded so possible.

The LP will be distributed by the affiliated Safe Distro crew; you can grab it here: https://lightweightelectronics.bandcamp.com/releases

PREMIERE Mr. IRL - So Much Love [Lightweight Electronics]

Adam Pits lands next for a debut on X-Kalay as one of the most talked about new producers circulating the UK underground. Based in Leeds, Pits has already attracted the attention and support of established players such as Subb-ann, Call Super and Ciel and left countless others scrambling to chase down his energetic club centric productions.

With his style drawing on the best elements of proggy house, breaks, trance and techno he delivers a solid EP for X-Kalay of driving club rhythms, UK bass and tranced out euphoria; the maturity of his craft seeming to belie this young producer’s relatively modest age.

We premiere title track “Piston Pump”, which provides something a little different than what we've come to expect with Adam's productions - yet demonstrating his broad flex to hit every corner of the dance floor. This cut errs on an almost video game-esque soundtrack tip, Duke Nukem style - slowly chugging its way through dystopian pixels and blocky future formations. It's also well worth listening to the mysterious Magicwire artist Bliss Inc. remix of this, flipping the downtempo vibes into a chugged out trancey peak time banger.

PREMIERE: Adam Pits - Piston Pump [X-Kalay]

The Radiant Love crew know what’s good. Aside from running a great mix series and their (due to obvious reasons now halted) club nights, the Berlin-based arts and performance collective has been releasing some pretty spectacular music over the last 12 months. Adding the sixth instalment to their catalog, their latest offering comes from E00. With previous releases landing on Paradygme Records, the label he co-runs with Hybu, and Yellow Island, the Paris-based producer serves his highly infectious brew of ’90s influenced progressive house stylistics. Four tracks that will keep you entertained from start to finish. TIP!

Premiere: E00 - Parade [Radiant Love]

It had began with small, trivial suggestions - changes that she could manage and adapt to quickly. They weren't life-changing, purely superficial or aesthetic, but soon enough these asks became bigger. He was trying to mould her into something she wasn't. Challenging him wasn't an option, she didn't like to go against the grain, rather she preferred to keep quiet and stay in line. 

Since launching back in 2016, Melbourne-based producer and label boss Louis Marlo has used his Felt Sense Recordings imprint as a platform to share his own creations with the world. Though there has been a four year hiatus since Louis' last two releases, this serves the label's ethos of prioritising quality over quantity. His third outing, Who Wants Alchemy?, is no exception. Coming complete with a remix from Lou Karsh AKA Reptant, the 5-track release blends electro, IDM and techno, at times calling to mind the more stirring side of Carl Finlow's productions through its glistening melodies, warm basslines and processed electronics.
