'Manni Dee's rework is a production which focuses on its textures, lacing thick, detailed drum patterns with a steady array of static-filled pads and cavernous FX.'

Microburst - Firth (Manni Dee Remix) Free DL via XLR8R

Polytope’s first EP welcomes two rising stars from the European bass music scene: Brussels-based fa:act and Parisian artist Meli Mena. The duo has crafted a six-track, club-ready opus featuring a special collaboration and a remix by Maoupa Mazzocchetti.

"COUGH TWICE IF YOU CARE" dives into the depths of the hardcore continuum with the distinctive styles of both artists on full display.

fa:act contributes two dancehall-inspired bangers with his signature touch: “Wizard Bubble” and “Breeze and Riddim.”

Meli Mena delivers two high-energy club tracks infused with breakbeat influences and IDM resonances: “Hot Girls Get Sad” and “SideQuest Nap.”

Together, the pair released the now-renowned 140 bpm club anthem “Dust Drip,” a track that has lit up dancefloors around the globe.

Each piece receives the unique analog treatment of Maoupa Mazzocchetti, who also contributes a powerful remix of Meli Mena’s “SideQuest Nap.”

COUGH TWICE IF YOU CARE

Wizard Bubble

Premiere: fa:act - Wizard Bubble | Polytope

Track taken from GLYNY - No Signs of Life [DMC033]
Release date : august 26th, 2025
Pre-order : https://dionysian-mysteries.bandcamp.com/album/no-signs-of-life

'No Signs of Life' pulses with rebellious rhythms and an energetic, chest-pumping spirit. This track challenges passivity and inspires action through its genre-fluid approach. GLNY keeps listeners on their toes, seamlessly blending UK bass, breaks, electro, and techno. Reflecting on the inhumanity prevalent in modern society, the song carries a positively humanistic message, infused with a primal, animistic ethos that evokes feelings of triumph. GLNY’s artistic diversity shines, making ‘No Signs of Life’ some of his best work yet.

Amity presents Chrome Abyss, the much-anticipated debut solo EP from sought-after producer and DJ Beaabea. Her tracks have caught the attention of key tastemakers like Jaguar and Martha on BBC Radio 1, with releases including her debut single 'Pixelate' on EMA’s label Woozy imprint, and her latest cut 'Constants' on Amity. After making her mark with these standout early releases, Chrome Abyss arrives as a distilled and deliberate statement, channeling a sound palette that is shiny, metallic, and fluid yet grounded in rhythmic force.

Across four tightly constructed tracks, Beaabea unveils a world of glistening surfaces and low-end pressure - bass-heavy, refined, and built for maximum club potency. KNOCK OUT! hits with a sharp, clean impact; I Like Your Mind coils around processed vocal phrases and slick sub textures; MISFIRE rattles with mechanical tension. At the core, onandonandon loops and unravels hypnotic vocals into an endless feedback cycle, refracting around chrome-plated percussion. The entire EP carries a cool, reflective sheen with productions that shimmer like sculpted metal under strobe light.

Known for her genre-fluid sets and productions that fuse bass with high-energy percussion, Beaabea has become a distinctive presence, affiliated with collectives like Steel City Dance Discs and Club Glow. Through her event series and Voices Radio show How Did It Get So Late?, she has built space for FLINTA* DJ's, all while refining her own sonic identity. Chrome Abyss now solidifies that identity - precise, polished, and built to resonate.

MISFIRE

Premiere: Beaabea - MISFIRE | Amity

軀殼 VESSEL is a reflection of 祐曦YAU HEI’s rhythm of everyday life, it is born from the weight of repetition - the endless cycle of routine. It awakens her needs to create, to remind herself the fragile beauty of imagination. The slow erosion of time, the unrelenting truth of death’s cycle, is the weight 祐曦YAU HEI write against.

Sonically, the album blends atmospheric textures, tense synths and experimental layers with heavy bass and emotionally charged vocals. Like moving through routined life in constant motion, the grind pushing forward, shadows of time pressing heavier with every step.

Each track builds into a journey: The first half builds with urgency and tension, while the second half unfolds into melody and space. The movement reflects the cycle — from the weight of routine into a fleeting light of release.

祐曦 Yau Hei is a UK Bristol-based, Hong Kong producer and DJ whose music embodies a profound exploration of the mind and spirit. ASJ, short for "A Spiritual Journey," reflects her ideas to bridge the physical and metaphysical, crafting immersive soundscapes that transform emotions and perceptions.

Through her music and DJ sets, 祐曦 Yau Hei delivers a distinctive blend of Eastern and Western influences, engaging audiences with nostalgic hooks, cinematic layers, and electrifying beats. Her performances invite listeners to experience not just sound, but a journey—a carefully curated balance of introspection and euphoria, tailored for both intimate lounges and expansive club stages.

Escape To Mars - How Far Is It To Nowhere [SEELEN001 | A1 | Premiere]

Manni Dee's compositions cleverly anchor stark, machine-like percussion in unprocessed field recordings and abstract noise sources, toying with the conventional boundaries between sound and music. The mixture of impromptu organic recordings and pin-sharp manmade elements simultaneously humanises and adds an air of detachment to the work; a testament to Manni's command of texture and flair for sound design.
