Friends for almost a decade, Oona Dahl and Amber Cox have always surrounded themselves with creative energy. Meeting briefly in college and then running into each other out in the underground, they started their endeavor as best friends and business partners. Originally based out of Tampa, the Florida nightlife and their mutual passion for electronic music inspired the two to come together as one back in 2009 to form a production and performance duo. The past year they have been machines, working on transcending their own dreamlike world to form Slumber. Over the past year Slumber has been on a tear releasing  EPs on imprints like Better on Foot, Bad Animal and Yuma Recordings. This 4 track EP is a great addition to their sound and discography. We look forward to hearing more from them in the future.

Hotly tipped newcomer Yulia Niko joins the Watergate collective, delivering an exciting label debut to mark the occasion.

The Russian-born, Berlin-based artist has piqued the ears of heads with quality releases on Crosstown Rebels, Get Physical and her own TochnoTechno imprint. She steps up for Watergate Records with an inspiring maiden EP, augmented by remixes from YokoO and Francesco Mami.

‘Manifesto’ is the intriguing opener, as intergalactic synths rub shoulders with a chugging groove for an ultra-cool finish. ‘Passion’ is heavy on vibes, pairing an enchanting vocal with a colourful bed of percussion. YokoO contributes a subterranean ‘Defragmentation’ remix of ‘Manifesto’ on the minimal tip, before adding some warmth to the palette teaming up with Francesco Mami for a ‘Vegas Mix’ primed for the afterhours with its deep grooves and shuffling beats. ‘Hurts So Slow’ reinforces Niko’s versatility, imbuing a dusty house vibe primed for late night sessions.

Whether producing alongside fellow artists or releasing solo material via a number of the scene’s most respected labels, Andrew Rasse, aka Butane, continues to build on his reputation as one of the most consistent names within house and techno, with his latest label Extrasketch becoming an essential hub for his ongoing work. Initially launched as a ‘vanity label’ to house his own material, Rasse’s introduction of close friends to the label in 2019 opened the door for an ongoing series of collaborations, with Hungarian DJ and producer Andras Toth being the first to land on the imprint. A longstanding collaborator of Rasse’s, releasing music via both his Alphahouse and Little Helpers imprints, Toth’s catalogue has also welcomed material via Note Records and Akkult, with his deep, minimal sound finding support amongst a host of key players in the scene.  Having last combined on the label in May to offer up their nine-track experimental ‘Odysseys’ project, the pair now return to Extrasketch with their latest collaboration ‘Intergalactic’ – delivering three deep and introspective productions typical of their partnership.

Lead production ‘Echoes’ sets the tone for the EP in hypnotic fashion, taking cues from its title as warping, echoed vocal chants weave amongst heavy drums, shuffling percussion and a crackling synth lead.  Next, the slow-grooving ‘Spacetime’ brings a hazy, delicate melody and slick organic drums to the refined core groove, keeping a funky yet hypnotic ultra deep vibe. To close, the striking yet eerie ‘Avatars’ switches up proceedings as Rasse and Toth opt for an entrancing spaced-out medley, with sweeping atmospherics atop of further tripped out vocals and a syncopated, murky low-end to shape up the package in style.
