Following INVŌKER’s ‘Superhero’, When We Dip XYZ is proud to present ‘The Chaos Inside’ from Imeïa, who has already been spotlighted on imprints such as Isolate, Frau Blau and Sum Over Histories. On this EP, the enigmatic producer blends impactful grooves, uncharacteristic delays, poignant textures and creative use of silence.

Things start off with ‘Le Pire Pour La Fin’, a deep cut which is led by a slow, drawn-out melody which recedes in favour of the bassline and noise-heavy plucks.
 
The eponymous ‘The Chaos Inside’ brings the energy levels a few notches up. The layered pad and choir initiate a progression of epic proportions over the simple, driving groove. The impacts, risers and glitches all accentuate this feeling of immensity. 

On ‘Elegancia’, the doubled kicks and resounding vocals set the scene for the larger than life lead synth. A subtle acid touch on the bass completes the tune. 

The last track, ‘Blue Romance’ displays the clearest vocals we’ve seen from Imeïa so far. The line ‘I don’t wanna be a fool, I just wanna be a tool’ is repeated throughout the intro and outro. A screaming guitar announces the highlight of the tune, with its uplifting bass pattern and toy-like percussions. An alternate dub mix is also available.

► Release Info:

Ed Steele returns on a high with more sensational music.

After a solid few years with releases on ICONYC, Mango Alley and more; the occasional DJ appearance at Noisily and Heartwood festivals, and a well-received debut album, the UK-based artist is back with three more monster tracks.

Opening with ‘Because of You’ a tough beat and arps draws you into Ed’s soundscape immediately. The first break acts as an oasis from the groove with sweet female vocals, adding new excitement. A solid vibe for the summer.

Next up, ‘Labyrinths of Reason sees Ed in deeper heads-down territory. The insistent percussions juxtaposes the low end and arps creating a palpable tension between the elements. Sawtoothed growls from the bass will activate even the most stern screwfaces.

Rounding out the EP, the title track ‘The Odyssey’ vibes from the off. Squelchy acid tones fire off in the lows acting against the sparse percussion. The epic break is where the magic happens though, this one is best served at peak time for devastating result.

microCastle’s first offering of 2024 welcomes Adrian Roman back to the label for his second artist showcase. Hailing from Spain, Adrian Roman first rose to prominence in 2021 with a string of superlative releases which redefined his sound, resulting in an aesthetic that was both cutting edge and effortlessly cool. Fully formed within the creative confines of his Castello studio, Adrian’s first microCastle project, 2022’s‘ Disturbing the Perception’ succeeded in showcasing his inventive approach to composition, while remaining club-effective, and in turn earning play from Aera, Fideles and Jimi Jules, amongst others. Moving forward the next eighteen months have proved to be impactful for the young Spaniard, recording standout projects for AZZUR and Sum Over Histories, releases which continued to build on his creative acumen, while remaining in the playlists of underground tastemakers Ame and Dixon. With 2024 beginning with Adrian’s latest Sum Over Histories vehicle ‘Oratorical Ability’, the Spaniard now makes a welcome return to microCastle with a six-track showcase entitled ‘This Is What I Was For A Moment’.

From the opening monochromes of ‘Le Sabbat’ Adrian’s craftsmanship reveals itself across this slow-burning piece, one where grating growls, granular flares and panoramic arps ultimately set the pace for the groove-centric ‘Customized Reality’. It’s here where Adrian puts a greater focus on the dancefloor, marrying hopeful vocal phrasing and silky chord stabs for a rejuvenating experience, while a drum-driven drop ultimately charts the course for a finale of deconstructed sonics and post-rave bliss. The haywire electricity of ‘Faces of Belmez’ finds the Spaniard once again flexing his creative muscles, as corrugated bleeps and cataclysmic rhythms provide a vast sense of space, creating the ultimate backdrop for distorted synths to propel choppy rhythms into dark underground passages, and perhaps onto some of the world’s most adventurous dancefloors.

The collection’s midway point is marked by the hypno-architecture of ‘Mind Design’. Trickling reverberations and long sighs of tonal tension wade through its pulsating framework, with frayed effects and thumping rhythms submerged beneath a buzzing panoramic glow. Played by Ame and sitting as one of the project's most enigmatic tracks is ‘TAGDI’ (They Are Gonna Do It). Tinted with contemplative synths and guttural vocals, Adrian’s unique emotionality peaks here, as he crafts a low-slung, slow-building dystopian romance, all while weaving in cerebral manipulations for an unforgettable ride. The mist breaks instantly on the collection’s final piece, as your thrusted into the muscular grooves of ‘Fear Track’. Horrifying vocal stabs strike, leaving the gauzy purple skies of ‘TAGDI’ behind for a more robust romp, one where anabolic basslines, retro-arps and off kilter percussion bring the release to a feverish peak. A fitting conclusion to a diverse collection of music, one where Adrian creates a journey that speaks to the complexities of life against an immersive and challenging backdrop.

► Release Info:

Merin is back with its 8th volume, showcasing a mighty nine (count ‘em) artists from around the world across four tracks, showcasing the very best of the deeper genres within the electronic music spectrum.

Argentina’s fast-rising Mariano Mellino and Gio Santi leap out the starting-blocks with their electronica showpiece ‘Feeling’; built around a New Order-esque vocal and breakbeat it establishes the high quality of the EP from the off. Turkey’s Black Batu and Orkun Bozdemir collaborate to give us 'Glitch Fields', a guitar infused melodic techno masterclass that perfectly captures the current vibe of Istanbul’s thriving club scene. There’s a welcome return for Ambear and his brilliant, indie-inspired ‘OBER’, whilst things conclude on an incredibly beautiful note with 'Us', a progressive goose-bumper by All That Matter, Johnny Chief, Le Prèsident and B’IDA.
