“Pleasure Pool are Finn O’Hare (synths, production), Andrew Robertson (vocals) and a rolling cast of Glasgow-based musicians, performers and artists. They sound like nothing else to have come out of Glasgow recently, exploring the territory between live performance and club culture through their collaborative ethos and party-starting attitude. Their debut EP, Night Scars, arrived in early March 2020 and now comes Love Without Illusion, Pleasure Pool's debut album, released on Optimo Music.
 
Largely written during the pandemic, Love Without Illusion adds layers of complexity and introspection to Night Scars' squarely dance floor-focused brew, though the record still oozes danceable energy. Open Hours is like opening a door and finding a party already in full swing, an assortment of recurring Pleasure Pool motifs – echoing, dubbed-out vocals, gorgeous, impossibly airy synth melodies, louche percussion, cowbells, rising and falling flecks of trumpet – all introduced in short order. Lick The Bag, which prominently features vocalists Chloe Charlton and Raissa Pardini, has a controlled chaos befitting its morning-after-the-night-before name. 
 
The rest of the album rides this glimmering, night-magic mood at varying frequencies, with the title track a gentle storm of grandiose walls of synth and pulsing vocal fragments. The slow and low flickering funk of album closer Zero Hours pulls all that has come before it together to end things in the woozy bliss of a walk back home in warm, gentle sunlight. 
 
Love Without Illusion is a dazzlingly complete expression of Pleasure Pool's intoxicating sound and vision. Dive on in and explore.”

Released on vinyl and digital 09/12/2022.

"Rolling basslines, expansive atmospheres, relentless kick rhythms, hypnotic textures, and enigmatic melodic narratives that experimentally yet steadfastly sway through the grooves. It's not just the title of this monumental EP from Peru-based Luis León and his compatriot Unseener that elicits an uncommon sensation. Thoroughly technoid, yet consistently emotional, this entire release, comprising a total of 6 tracks, defies easy categorization.

Their creativity traverses various facets of electronic soundscapes, his present approach striving to transcend the prevailing norms of the dance scene while remaining true to the essence of the sound. The journey through the EP is underpinned by frontal techno percussions,with the kick rhythms striking the listener in swift and relentless
succession. A wintry foundation, ultimately borne aloft by rooted atmospheres that infuse intricate emotions, lends a discerning sophistication to the release. Profound personal introspection and the courage to lay bare the uncharted territories are clear effects manifest in each track, offering a glimpse into Luis & Unseener's exploration of new sonic dimensions.

The music unequivocally transcends the overt purpose of dance music, inviting the listener into deeper realms of the sonic tapestry, where it can achieve far more than merely setting hips in perpetual motion to eternal grooves."

Genre-benders Big Yawn team up with Naarm based future rapper Teether for their latest high-octane single ‘2Stroke’. After a wild collaborative film score to Good Time, the formidable partnership kicked on to the studio to immortalise ‘2Stroke’.

The result is nothing short of perfection. Big Yawn’s notorious head nodding drum show and platter of dub-wise sound effects and synths sit in perfect harmony with Teether’s signature low slung and seemingly effortless rapping.

Album ‘NGBE’ out mid-July 2024.

Watch the video for Talento Matemático:

Talento Matemático is deep discoteca madness long before the word “deep” lost its initial meaning, when people looked into each others eyes while dancing and knew what the other was feeling and feeling the same without saying a word, the joyful swing on the dancefloor as we get lost after hours of dancing in a never ending extension of our sensual activities. Again, the pounding Carisma beat underneath that silky skin is so hard it hurts, in a good way.

CONNECTION - MIX 2025*

From the frozen ruins of forgotten realms to the endless skies of alien worlds, OrchraX invites you into a saga where fantasy and science fiction collide. Inspired by the grandeur of Skyrim and the vastness of Halo, this album blends orchestral power with ambient mysticism, creating a soundtrack for a roleplay game that exists only in imagination.

Opening with “The First Legend”, a spoken-word prologue delivered with the weight of ancient prophecy, the journey unfolds across cinematic soundscapes: battles fought beneath shattered moons, ruins echoing with the voices of the past, and destinies written among the stars.

This is more than music — it is a tale told in sound, crafted for dreamers, gamers, and seekers of other worlds. Step beyond the stars, and let the legend begin.

Puma & The Dolphin’s debut record, the Primitive EP, focuses on firedance grooves, exotic percussion along with a dub and post-punk approach and is coming out on Montreal's @chambrenoirerecords. Also included is a stunning remix by cult producer Michal Turtle. P&TD is a Bulgarian producer based in Sofia. 

The EP opens with this wild chugger. Layering jungle sounds with loose hand percussion, the mood is at the crossroads between Latin and oriental influences. As the track progresses, the rhythmic section is enriched by skippy snares and a variety of vocal samples, sweeps, and melodies, with undeniable firedance-inducing results.
