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.

Popp - Pingo (Ciel's Raptured Remix)

Each morning we wake and go about our days in very different ways. Some may have rituals or routines that can't be broken, others may roll out of bed and see where the day takes them. But we're joined by a common ground - this earth is our home and we all survive on its offerings: "the soil that nurtures flora & fauna, the air we breath, the water we drink, the sun & moon that shine upon our bodies."

Melbourne-based producer Ruby Kerkhofs AKA Nice Girl has had a fruitful relationship with Munich's Public Possession over the last two years. First appearing on the label's 'Chill Pill' compilation in 2019, and its subsequent follow up in 2020, she then added a couple of solo outings to the list last year in the form of 'Take A Step' and 'Whistling Thorn'. Now she's returning to the imprint for her debut long player 'Ipsum'; a collection of organic electronic productions that range from meditative downtempo to sparse dub vibrations and hypnotic driving trance.

PREMIERE: Nice Girl - Cool Dudes In Hot Water [Public Possession]

Needs moves into the future of vinyl production partnering with Green Vinyl Records in Holland to produce a 100% recyclable record which uses 60% less energy cost compared to traditional vinyl production methods. This revolutionary step in vinyl history features the production skills of Saoirse, Reptant, Sansibar, Pugilist, LUXE and Hassan Abou Alam.

For Needs 009 we welcome another all-star lineup of producers, established and emerging, from around the world. Featuring room 1 ready techno from one of the scenes leading lights Saoirse; a bass heavy, electro-tech weapon from Melbourne's Pugilist; the cosmic electro baselines of the irrepressible Reptant; an otherworldly space excursion courtesy of Norway’s finest Sansibar; dancehall inflected acid trance from London-based up and comer LUXE; and to round things off some twisted breaky tech-house from Egypt’s latest export Hassan Abou Alam.

THE PROBLEM
With 4.3m vinyl sales in the UK last year (the 12th consecutive year of growth), it’s clear that vinyl is back in a BIG way. But the basic technological principles of record pressing have not changed for a century. While the vinyl boom has been a bright spot for physical media lovers and the record industry alike, pressing vinyl poses a more urgent environmental concern than it did in the format’s heyday. At times, the process can seem almost antithetical to green living. Records are made of PVC, which comes from refined oil and can take up to 1,000 years to decompose in a landfill. Traditional pressing machines are powered by steam boilers that require fossil fuels to generate heat and pressure; the water used is treated with anti-corrosive chemicals in order to prevent rusting, thus creating more wastewater. And that’s just the pressing procedure.

Consider, then, vinyl’s packaging and distribution. The ink that’s used to print cover art and liner notes is traditionally solvent-based, meaning it contains volatile organic compounds that can contribute to the production of ozone. Once the record is encased in a beautiful jacket, it’s then shrink-wrapped in plastic wrap before boarding a gas-burning, carbon-emitting truck to ship. Suddenly the choice to buy physical music shifts from an action that helps sustain an artist’s career, to one that potentially threatens broader sustainability.

THE SOLUTION
In 2019 Needs started conversations with Green Vinyl, a brand new pressing plant based in Holland, who have devised a revolutionary production method which uses injection moulding rather than steam energy, equalling 60% less energy cost than the traditional vinyl production. It also uses no PVC and is a 100% recyclable product, meaning you can dispose of it in your home recycling bin.

The other benefits are that the record sounds better (it has a wider frequency spectrum), it cannot warp, and it also has a longer play life.

The key features of a Green Vinyl produced record are:
- Injection Moulding instead of steam pressing
- 60% less energy cost 
- No PVC
 - 100% recyclable product
- Wider frequency spectrum - sound is equal or better than traditional vinyl pressing 
- Longer stamper life time - can be played more than 400 times (traditional vinyl starts to deteriorate after 100 plays)
- Rapid vinyl turnaround of 8 weeks (wait times are generally 12-16 weeks)
- No warping of records 
- No paper labels

Green Vinyl is currently the only pressing plant in the world with this technology and we are proud and honoured to be the first label to work with them and share this amazing new technology with you all.

Join us as we change the future of vinyl <3

A3. Reptant - The Last Laugh (Needs 009)

Teenage Dreams



Onyr is the electronic music project of London-based drummer and producer Dave Storey. After making his debut in 2025 with releases on Sweden’s AEDI Records and BEAM Records, he now unveils his first full EP, Hydrus, released on the French label 909 Connection.

Drawing on his deep rhythmic sensibility and expansive musical background, his productions blend an eclectic mix of organic textures, psychedelia, and deep techno into a distinctly polyrhythmic and hypnotic sound. The result is an immersive sonic world that bridges the acoustic and electronic, built on carefully crafted grooves, euphoric atmospheres, and a drive to explore different states of consciousness.

To complete the EP, STUPR made a tribal and dubby interpretation of Rainmaker, and R.2614 remixed Swirl, adding his unique occult touch to the release.

Hydrus introduces Onyr as an artist with a clear and compelling sonic identity.

Release date: October 10th, 2025

Tracklist:
1. Onyr - Hydrus
2. Onyr - Swirl
3. Onyr - Rainmaker (feat. James Allsopp)
4. Onyr - Rainmaker (feat. James Allsopp) (STUPR Remix)
5. Onyr - Swirl (R.2614 Remix)

Tree Ring

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.
