Six years, fifty releases, countless artists and multiple subsidiaries; the Oyster Cult’s reach extends far beyond what sceptics once thought possible. It’s only fitting, then, that we gather some of our finest under the Kalahari banner in celebration.

The anniversary release is upon us. Six whole years since Jacy helped inaugurate the label with a spin on Midwestern house, OYSTER40 signals a landmark occasion. 18 tracks, quadruple vinyl boxset action, and in true Oyster Cult tradition, it comes bearing pearls.

Dancefloor squarely in focus, the Cult assembles on a compilation spanning alumni and new inductees alike. It’s an assemblage of the fractal, explorative and ritual-ready; at once a focused distillation of the Kalahari sound and celebration of its many acolytes. Big on atmosphere, heavy on groove, we delve deeply into the musical DNA shared by all who grace the label.

Tough, direct cuts (Sansibar, Roza Terenzi, Big Zen, Maara & Priori) to the pristine and widescreen (S.O.N.S., Volodymyr Gnatenko, Adam Pits), this is all quintessentially Kalahari. Elsewhere though, the likes of D. Tiffany and SW. journey further into realms of abstraction: the former opting for hi-tech, dreamstate IDM, while the SUED co-founder dissolves a house template into dubby introspection.

Calling upon contemporary talents, for the most part, there are also exceptions. Raymond Castoldi - the one-time house producer best known as Madison Square Garden’s music director - returns with an unreleased nugget from ’91, while an ‘Aliens’-sampling track from Detroit-indebted techno outfit Syzygy gets the reissue treatment.

Embracing Midgar's story-tale approach, 'Da Nao Tian Gong' (also known as 'Havoc in Heaven') stands as https://soundcloud.com/polygonia's latest four-track EP. Lindsey Wang draws direct influence from a beloved childhood cartoon, itself inspired by the ancient Chinese legend 'Journey to the West' and the iconic character Sun Wukong. In a retro-modern twist, the tracks vividly depict Sun Wukong's essence: 'Jindou Yun' embodies the swiftness of his cloud, 'Shen Wai Shenfa' invokes his magical hair with tribal rhythms, 'Ruyi Jingu Bang' mirrors his legendary staff's power, and 'Disha Shu' portrays his 72 Transformations through vibrant harmonics.

A gorgeous unearthing from two top end friends rooted in collaboration and experimentation comes Pod; Peace of Dream. The duo present the shimmering single “Past” for a special digital Step Ball Chain release; two alternative versions for your pleasure, both downtempo dreamscapes recorded on Larrakia Country. Prominent underground Australian artists in their own right, Hamish Rahn and Emma Stevenson delve into exquisite pop with emotive and raw beauty, a lucid state of mind. A bonus blissed out drum and bass rendition of Past rounds out the release from none other than SBC alumni Maara.

On and on the loop remains,
I sit back and watch the day.
Up and down we oscillate,
Who is here with me today?

I see no one around to hold responsible, what am I sorry for?
I see you now abound, it isn't logical, when I write you a song I'm found.

Past is not the past.

Peace Of Dream - Past (DIGISTEP2)

For their first release of 2025, Phase Group return to where they started with new music by label founders MR TC and Lo Kindre, under the moniker of TC LK. Their self-titled debut album marks the first collaborative recordings by the pair to see daylight since the release of the PHASE001 EP in 2019.

Their new album sees the pair reaching for darker and heavier territory, where modulation and delay enact mind-bending effect on warped bass lines, dubbed out breaks and mangled samples.

Album opener ‘Godmanchester’ ominously sets the tone with a distorted acid line floating over stuttering ambient pads as a drum machine struggles to find its way through a gnarled signal chain; the album’s centrepiece comes in the form of a nine-minute-plus epic, ‘TLPTK’, in which a stark dancehall rhythm is paired with a modulating bass drone and otherworldly oscillating arps, while tracks like ‘Aro’ and ‘Bouncy’ present the most club-engaged moments of the record; the former in the form of a glacial electro rhythm, subtly locking into a groove, and the latter through throbbing bass and echoed breakbeats shimmering over spectral drones.

With this new album TC LK offer up a deft manifesto for futuristic, hypnotic sound design that sits somewhere between the club, the afters and somewhere else completely.

TC LK is released in the form of a digital album alongside a very limited amount of 10” dubplates featuring ‘TLPTK’, ‘Aro’ and ‘Bouncy’, hand-cut by Henninspace at Copyshop Studio in Dresden, available exclusively via Bandcamp.

Phase Group will celebrate the release of PHASE008 with a TC LK live show alongside DJ peanut and Rick Shiver at Spanners in London on the 28th of March.

PREMIERE⚡️TC LK - Bouncy [Phase Group]

𝙉𝙀𝙒𝙎 We are excited to announce Lenxi’s debut album: 𝘿𝙞𝙙 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙜𝙚𝙩 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙙𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙢 𝙄 𝙨𝙚𝙣𝙩 𝙮𝙤𝙪? The first single —𝘿𝙞𝙛𝙛𝙚𝙧𝙚𝙣𝙩—is out today. The full album will be out on vinyl on June 13. 

The personal 10-track long player balances IDM, indie pop and techno, and was written in and about a period of life where heartbreak and threats reinforced each other, creating an inescapable loop of isolation.

Attempting to regain confidence and hope, a process of dreaming up a fictive emotional escape emerged. Paintings, sketches, voice notes, and a first few synth-lines took shape—laying the groundwork for this very album. In the tail of the storm, the London-born, Amsterdam-based producer and DJ refined her ideas further in places that carried hopeful memories. Places that felt familiar. Revisiting studios in beloved locations from the past—in London and Paris—and seeking for the new—in studios and the Westcoast waters of L.A.- all helped to shape those purest ideas into full songs forming a story that demanded closure.

Lenxi's debut album is a stunning sequence of dreams hinting at hope combined with nostalgia—built on a strong force battling the vulnerability of being alone—and ultimately finding a way out and onto the dance-floor.

Spread across two discs for maximum fidelity, this is sound system music with grooves primed for mixing and dialed-to-a-Tee bass weight, but hovering above the grounded structures are fleeting rhythmic textures that veer things off into a world worth getting lost in. Throughout its 11 tracks, “Club Dream” plays out like a full mix, ebbing and flowing through a variety of energy levels and moods. Some of the range you’ll find here includes half-time dream-step, peak time pulses, and dubbed out mid-tempo tech, all done with a cohesive restraint and appreciation of atmosphere. The record imparts it’s own kind of dance floor dream logic onto the listener, inviting us to let go of making sense of things and trust in its fuzzy logic.

Acid house veterans @medicine8-official return with a giddy industrial remix for @humanendeavourrecs

Premiere: May Lavie ‘The Poem (Medicine 8 Remix)’

It all started back in 2018. Together with Jokios Kultūros, we stumbled upon a Boiler Room podcast that felt like a jolt to the senses. In a world dominated by slow grooves and chuggy melodies, there was DJ Normal 4 — cutting through the haze with something raw, fresh, and wildly different. We were instantly hooked.

Soon after, our paths took us to Georgia, to the iconic 4GB Festival. Under the open sky, amidst the mountains, we witnessed a b2b set of pure madness: DJ Normal 4 and Bufiman unleashing energy that felt from another dimension. It wasn’t just a set — it was a moment. One for the books. One we still talk about.

From there, Tim’s music became a constant companion. His releases on Second Circle, Klasse Wrecks, Brothers From Different Mothers, his own Aiwo Rec, and especially his debut album Tales of Z on Emotional Response — all played on repeat. They shaped our taste and soundtracked our days.

When we were close to our 100th podcast, we wanted to do something special. We reached out, and Tim said yes. He sent us a live recording that went viral as soon as we shared it. It felt like a big moment.

As our first events in Vilnius began to take shape, there was never a question — we had to bring Tim over. And when he came, it just clicked. What started as admiration grew into real friendship. He became a regular guest — not only on our dance floors, but also within our label. He remixed a track for our FAR EAST FLIGHT remix album, and later contributed a remix to our first vinyl release by Kalocain. He was also part of the fourth edition of Unreleased Territory. Two more visits to Vilnius followed, each one bringing us closer.

Tim has become an essential figure in the story of Electric Shapes. A spark that helped us evolve. An artist who gave us energy, courage, and confidence to push forward. Always kind, always real — with a killer sense of humor and a heart in the right place. A true star without trying to be one.

We’re endlessly proud to know Tim not only as DJ Normal 4, but as a friend, a collaborator, and a key part of what Electric Shapes has become.

From that first Boiler Room podcast to shared parties and shared records — it’s been a beautiful ride. And it’s far from over.
