Sweden-based producer, Ulf Bonde makes a long-awaited comeback to Fantastic Voyage Records with a new minimal house EP titled “Handle It”. This record houses three original tracks and two deep remixes by Malin Genie and Wyro. 



With the exception of label owner Justin Jay, Ulf Bonde was the first artist to release music on the independent label. His 2016 “Brother Piña” EP became inspiration for Fantastic Voyage as it portrayed musical freedom, a playful nature, and came straight from the heart. Since then, the Stockholm producer has released music on notable labels such as Pets Recordings, Freerange Records, Room Temp, Bedrock Records, and AfroMove Music. 

"Handle It" EP is available next Friday, March 29th!

Tripped-out, leisurely house and breaks comprises the next drop on Haŵs, and for the established Welsh imprint, number 13 is far from unlucky – in fact, it’s coming in as ecstatic. Perth producer Guy Contact takes the reigns for ‘Euphoria Simulator’, a 6-track EP radiating with all the charm and optimism of a liberated future.

Opening the first of four house tracks, ‘Into The Blue’ makes light work of bass melodies and fresh kicks, bouncing skywards as though emerging from a thinning fog into a clear day. ‘Nice 2 B Free’ is imbued with touches of sentimentality, pouring outwards like the laissez-faire movements of a serene dancer entwined within a group of friends. The eccentric ‘Whip Crack Cowboy’ takes the camaraderie of country twang into a colourful new world, mediating psychedelic guitar strings into harmony with synths and a cathartic house beat.

On the B-side, the titular ‘Euphoria Simulator’ doubles down on the bass but keeps its overall ride light and airy, dipping between piano, synths and rhythms warm enough to breathe emotion into a cold room. The final two tracks untether from their house confines: ‘Amphibian Pool’ dubs down into a hypnotic, marine-level drift, elongating croaky basslines alongside punchy breaks and acid lines during its descent. Finally, ‘Subaquatic Jungle’ hits the ocean floor, discovering an enigmatic world alive with a fauna of percussion and distortions that slope through dense, bassy undercurrents.

For anyone looking to impart a kaleidoscope of blissful feelings onto dancefloors, ‘Euphoria Simulator’ sits patiently ready to heighten the senses.

Dylan Forbes 393x04

For it’s fourth instalment Dublin imprint 393 welcomes Dylan Forbes to the fold, and with this comes the labels first solo 12”. Forbes is an up and coming Irish producer and for his debut on 393 delivers an EP that fits in perfectly with the label’s previous releases, melding house, techno, bleep and acid sounds across 4 songs.  

Opening with the suitably-titled Hypnotise,  Forbes is at his most restrained, teasing with a broken beat rhythm and svelte minor chord progression before the acid starts to seep in underneath the timeless groove, eventually stripping the track back to just the 303 and drums.  
For the midsection of the release those familiar with the sounds of Transmat-era Aril Brihka and the 3rd wave of Detroit-inspired techno will find much to love in the driving progressions and ethereal soundscapes of Starburst and the slamming chords of Trip 2 Jupiter which really gives this record a classic feel 
Inspiral closes out the EP with the releases most dancefloor heavy cut, taking its cues not just from classic Detroit but also the rave-inflected bleep & acid sounds of Sheffield, while always keeping a strong melodic temperament. 393x04 is not only designed with the club in mind but across it’s 4 songs has many moods to fit the floor depending on the time and stage of the night. One can’t ask for much more than that...

PREMIERE: AK SPORTS - Beast (TFZ003)

There is something about the groove on DJ Mau Mau’s early releases that just gets me and everyone within earshot moving wildly each and every time a track of his gets slammed in the club. His tunes go hard for sure, but the rhythm and vibe seems to be something hits people universally. 

Hell’s Club has been on my want list on Discogs for years and that prohibitive price really left me no choice but to reissue the damn thing. I have played it every single set since I got the new masters back and it is so effective at getting a crowd moving. Tech house at it’s absolute best. 

D+ is a total mammoth. The weird organ samples in the first half of the track really freak people and then it gets serious real quick... This one bangs but as usual with DJ Mau Mau, the bass line is actually funky as fuck underneath. 

JMRB brings a bit of lightness to the EP. Funky and loopy with the synths and then rollin’ and swayin’ with the drums and bass. Perfect for that mid set vibe. 

Finally, I made a little edit of Breakers In Space to make it a bit more dance floor ready. It’s a back and forward of a spacey break and a hard slamming groove. It was made with the end of the warm up in mind and has been proving very effective for that moment in my sets. 

This re release has been freshly remastered for maximum boost and sounds fat as fuck on a system.

Chat Noir Tools est le nouvel espace d’expérimentation de Chat Noir Distribution qui va permettre de mettre en avant de nombreux producteurs talentueux de la scène actuelle, tout en gardant un fort attachement au club et aux dancefloors.

Vitess inaugure cette série avec un EP varié qui présente un large éventail de ses influences. De la house au breakbeat en passant par la early trance le producteur démontre son attachement aux sonorités 90’s. Issu de la bouillonnante scène parisienne et au sein de Chevry Agency, Vitess s’est fait un nom grâce à ses performances live où, derrière ses machines, il communique une énergie significative et une connaissance accrue du dancefloor.

L’EP s’ouvre avec Konbino, un track hypnotique et puissant aux forts accents UK garage des années 90. En Cas d’Urgence est quant à plus rapide avec une bassline galopante et des synthés aériens et mélodiques. De l’autre côté, la face B s’ouvre avec Le Beau Jeu, titre éponyme de l’EP. On est ici dans une inspiration 90’s aux accents raves. Un track qui promet sueur et émotions sur le dancefloor. Enfin, le disque se clôture avec Dernier Tour, un breakbeat puissant et une lead acid qui ne laisseront personne indemne dans la foule !

It’s an interesting time for Haŵs, having successfully rolled out their parties to popular venues across Cardiff and London with takeovers hosting everyone from Special Request to DMX Krew in the last year alone. Their previous releases on the label side have been more languorous and serene, with their overarching vision primarily holding a strong emphasis on building upon a bedrock of house music, and bolstered with accents of acid, breaks and other subgenres. But since their more recent event bookings have been so notably comprehensive, the sixth EP has taken that full step into developing upon the variety they champion at their parties. This next chapter of their growth actualises itself in the form of Dawl’s ‘Break It Down’ EP, a warehouse-ready, bouncy and charismatic record channelling insatiable vigour from beginning to end.
