Duration: 5 min 45 s
Description: ‘First Light’ breaks through the darkness with shining keys, glowing acid, and hopeful energy.

PREMIERE: Skinner - Foreign Identity

@39-records @jaketidd

A delicate split in the molecular tide, Equinox is where structures soften.
Jake Tidd sculpts four progressive studies in tension and release, tracing the subtle choreography of particles suspended mid-air. Like drifting ions in a field without gravity, each track orbits around its own magnetic core, pulsing, phasing, gently colliding.
At the centre, neutrons burn slow and dense, a compressed charge of rhythm and emotion folding inwards. The surrounding cuts ripple outward like energy dispersing across a vacuum, forming patterns too precise to be accidental, too fluid to be fixed.
There’s a sense of calibration here. Feel the way each groove is engineered to like a controlled experiment in trance induction, a molecular ritual for systems in flux.

First up we have 'Twerp' by aussie producer Aphid. A more tribal / percussive roller that leans to that heads down 'locked in' dance floor moments. It even has a bit of a nod toward the techno sphere. 

Progress onto 'Impress Me' by Teetee - a tune that grows significantly with every 8 bars, like prog should. Inspired by a summer trip to Waking Life we really hear Teetee's sound maturing with that low penetrating acid baseline. 

Next up is a lighter, groove-inspired house track from Stones Taro with a catchy melody to get the hips swinging. Exactly how I’d imagine a Ghost Baby would dance. 

Banrusi Bang by Elfenberg up next. Tech-house leaning and club focused while keeping that common prog theme near the forefront. 

Onto Obsession by Irish producer Aika Mal, a rising star in the prog underground. Again we hear a slight maturity to her sound compared to previous productions with a weighty, club ready acid melody to get you moving. 

Take me Away from Aus based, UK born Charlie Tennger. Drawing us in with that breaksy riff before pushing the boat out into a proggy club banger. 

Rocket Fuel Ziltch - a very fitting name for a track that ooze's infectious energy. With a nod to the aussie 'psy' culture while maintaining that punchy proggy sound we love, Ziltch has really nailed this one. 

Last but by no means least we have another aussie 'bush doof' inspired track from Glen S. A goa leaning track who's title speaks for itself really.... 'We Are Going Clinically Insane'

Four producers, four shades of motion: dubby pressure, sleek trance energy, and tripped-out house psychedelia built for the floor.
Our seventh release brings together versatile club cuts sitting between house and trance. Familiar faces return — Tifra, Gearmater (fka Abdul Raeva) — and newcomers Olsvangèr and Earth Trax, each adding their own weight to the release.

“Clubfoot” on A1 — precision disguised as ease. The Estonian duo deal in pressure, not excess: a thick, rolling bassline, a bubbling acid line, and dub-warmed undertones glowing beneath the surface. Soft, delayed chords drift in and out like vapour, grounding the track in that classic dub techno haze. Reborn under a new name, they sound recalibrated and ready — gears turning, momentum building.

“The Body Radiates” is Earth Trax at his most direct. High-speed 303s coil through off-world, high-definition textures — bright yet tightly controlled. Crisp, hard percussion keeps the pressure constant, while flickering vocal chops cut through the mix with a distinctly ’90s pulse. It moves with purpose, gliding through the breaks and tunnelling toward the peak.

A Flash! — and reality folds. On B1, Olsvangèr delivers a pristine, meditative trip: razor-sharp percussion, a bassline built to unspool the mind. It’s lean, focused, and quietly hallucinatory. Proof he’s fast becoming the go-to for tripped-out house.

“Monolith” by Tifra signals a bold return - a deep, club-ready roller that hums with fizzing percussion, trippy, widescreen FX and a lead washed in echo that keeps everything in motion. It’s crisp, transportive, and unmistakably Tifra. Keep your ears open — the full EP’s on the way.
