On Rotation: Podcasts

“The difference between a painter and a musician is one of time. A painter paints space, a musician composes time.” - Gertrude Stein

With a finely tuned ear for rave-ready energy and soul-soothing melodies, Manchester duo Cortese continue a run of fine form. Following standout releases on LNOE and Hotflush, they make their long-awaited debut on Constant Circles with the Parallels EP - an essential slice of forward thinking UKG.

Two original cuts lead the way, showcasing Cortese’s signature blend of nostalgic garage vibes and cutting-edge production. These are closely followed by two standout remixes: label boss Just Her delivers a deep and driving rework, while Jozef K, known for his immersive sonic textures, delivers a haunting atmospheric twist, each bringing a new flavour to appease any dance floor.

Completing the package is original street art from Brighton’s legendary graffiti artist Unknown, raw and unfiltered, drawing on the parallel between art and music. Unceasing. Limitless. A constant circle.

PREMIERE : Cortese - Parallels

Paris-based composer and producer Baptiste Lagrave unveils the next part of his BREAKUP EP — a project that merges the emotional intensity of romantic rupture with hypnotic, driving club energy.

More urgent and raw, Crisis unfolds as a pulsating narrative, evoking chaos, chase, and emotional overload with FX-heavy textures and powerful rhythmic programming.


PREMIERE : Baptiste Lagrave - Crisis

Systematic Recordings is back with more techno brilliance from main man Marc Romboy in collaboration with Rafael Cerato & Astrid James.

Romboy is a long-standing figure in electronic music who blends deep, melodic techno with analogue warmth and emotional depth. Rafael Cerato also brings a powerful fusion of techno, house, and cinematic soundscapes and Astrid James is one of France's most exciting talents with a darker, rolling sound.

Down For Business is packed with attitude thanks to the vocal - a spoken word monologue on artistry. It rides on chunky and rubbery drums with old school percussion and zippy synths that light it up with future energy

PREMIERE : Marc Romboy, Rafael Cerato, Astrid James - Down for Business

PREMIERE: Cortese - Terminal (Jozef K's Still Dreaming Remix) [Constant Circles]

Following the debut album Only Skies Stay Eternal, the Remixes EP takes a bold step forward. These reinterpretations reshape Fille’s introspective sound into more club-oriented territories, signaling a new phase in her sonic evolution. 

Rico Casazza opens the release with a standout electro remix - fluid rhythms, a wavy bassline, and catchy vocal hooks push Fille’s sound into elevated, high-energy territory.

PREMIERE : Fille - Reach the Nucleus (Rico Casazza Remix)

"Musique Pour Enfiler Des Perles" is the third EP by Poison Gauchiste, aka Eric Labbé, following "Musique Pour Faire Différentes Choses" and "Musique Pour Monter En Haut". It is the result of a slow maturation process, shaped by summer idleness and long winter evenings over the past two years. The EP features five compositions that, as always, blend quirky influences with distinctly personal oddities.

Caution: several of these tracks contain rhythms that might inspire dancing — though it’s unclear whether listeners will actually follow through, given the spells of languor and melancholy that occasionally drift onto the dancefloor...

PREMIERE : Poison Gauchiste - Sept petits pas vers nulle part

New Release Incoming on Riotvan! And it’s someone we already hold close to our hearts. After making serious noise on our last compilation, we’re beyond stoked to finally present a full EP by none other than Mufti.

This time, the Mexican producer dives into darker, more house-infused territory, an unexpected turn that hits just right. Think late-night haze meets early morning bliss: a heady mix of acid, house, dark wave, and a whisper of romantic melancholy, all wrapped in a sound that feels unmistakably now. We’ve been hooked from first listen, and trust us, you will be too. Mufti is in the house.

To top it off: Gallegos leaves his unmistakable signature on the record with a remix of “Lovers Everywhere”. What a remix. Seriously!

Mufti - Shuttt [Riotvan]

Proud to present you our third RETROFUTUR compilation, including 6 tracks by our most regular artists.

Once again, Berlin's My Secret Playground stands out as the architect of a muscular German nu-disco, flirting with the boundaries of techno. “Don't Panic” combines percussive pulses and dark tension, while distilling subtle reminiscences of the disco aesthetic. A masterful sonic hybrid, between retro hedonism and contemporary intensity.
