LA party crew @fastatwork launches its label with a new EP from resident @CARREO.

Deep within the freeway buzz of dystopian Los Angeles, there exists an unstoppable sonic gathering of minds, who call themselves “Fast At Work” and abide by a belief in the deeper potential of higher tempos. However, lately there has been some debate about the true existence of the Fast At Work mantra. Just as the debate was reaching its climax, seemingly out of nowhere, a helicopter emerged containing a musical capsule from the future (or possibly aliens). The group accepted this music as scripture, and coined it “Soft Fascination,” – naming group member Carré as their chosen matriarch. Through the title hymn “Soft Fascination,” Carré preached a proto vision of a classic dubstep bassline and tender pads. With “Cute Mad,” Carré magically induced a sense of positivity and bubbly bass. And with the third offering, “Glowing,” she pushed her audience closer to understanding simplicity and space. Finally, in an effort to expand their gospel to the furthest realms of their musical world, she recruited Priori and James Bangura to create their own missions, rooted in the original offerings of the alien helicopter’s capsule disc. While Priori expertly rearranged “Soft Fascination” into a shiny mind-melter, James Bangura expanded on the lightness of “Glowing,” creating his own lucid dreamscape of deep melancholia.

Premiere: Carré 'Soft Fascination'

The cave was pitch black, inside there was little sound but for the occasional drip of water which would send a ripple through the pond below. Looking down from up above, they wondered what lay in the murky depths of the quarry. What surprises might be but round the corner? What creatures? What comforts? What tricks? What treats?

That’s when there was a deep rumble from the ground below. It bellowed up through the cave like some loud drum before enveloping their eardrums with a might thud.

Then they flew forth, bats and bats and bats and bats.

Will Hofbauer steps forth for an EP on Will Saul’s longstanding record label Aus. This is a record built of playful bouncey house grooves, oddball sounds and fun. It’s destined to work a treat in the clubs with a silly sense of purpose and a tongue n’ cheek approach to the dance.

PREMIERE: Will Hofbauer - Ah! Bats! [Aus]

Can you feel the Synergy? @blackartistdatabase (B.A.D.) is back with 'Synergy Vol. 2' – this time across an expanded repertoire of 12 tracks.

The release maintains the core vision of the B.A.D. label as one of, quite simply, celebrating the kaleidoscopic range of contemporary Black electronic producers. The likes of AGY3NA, Carista, and @ehuamusic grace a tracklist that dips and bends between heady dancefloor stompers and sunrise cool-downs, and crosses continents with offerings from Nairobi to Naarm. 

B.A.D. is throwing a party at fabric on Saturday, May 18. Tickets here: https://ra.co/events/1883481

Premiere: Ehua 'Kallisté'

Pre-order: https://ditto.fm/duality-blumitsu

‘THE FORMULA’ is the debut release from @blumitsu, the combined forces of UK club heavyweights @bluetooof and @jossymitsu, exploring their shared love of electro and techno.

Opener ‘DUALITY’ encompasses the approach perfectly with its sinister arpeggiated bassline and dystopian voice sampling laying out the conceptual framework of the project: “The state of having two opposing parts combining as one.”

Premiere: BLUMITSU 'DUALITY'

Brussels’ @cab_asa delivers four pared-back, percussive transmissions for London’s @controlfreakrecordings, alongside a remix from NYC’s @aye5ha

Cueing up their second release of the year, Nehza Records gear up to release a various artist label compilation named 'Transmental'...Our curiosity has been sparked by Egregore Collective affiliate Leyka. In 'Sirocco', obscure amapiano percussions are woven with bass-heavy kick drums, sonar signals and battle cries, all blowing high-speed hurricanes from the shores of Montpellier.
