It were as though nothing worked. There was no rhyme or reason as to why things were the way they were. It blew his tiny mind...

He could think about it for hours, days, weeks even and yet no magic truth would emerge from the darkness to offer a glimmer of insight as to the rationale behind such delusions. A logic bomb might as well explode atop his head, it would make little difference to his sense of understanding.

Perhaps there were just somethings out there that we were not meant to know, that he was not meant to know.

He laughed and walked away.

earthNetwork are set to release a mini comp made up of fast paced, futuristic cuts for the club. This one is from Phonon and features some lovely dubbed out chords which dance atop a rugged percussive breakdown.

As they travelled down the long winding river, they left everything that they knew behind. This was to be the journey of a lifetime, a voyage like no other, into the unknown, into the abyss.

Their small boat weaved and floated atop chaotic waves and tides, between jagged rocks and pointed shores.

Yet, they were nimble and agile, like a lizard in the stream.

They would simply go on and on, until they found peace in the great beyond.

Reasons To Dance are set to release a new EP from co founder Dåser who holds no punches on a fast paced, glitched out EP which channels elements of Bass and Techno and features a killer remix from Sputnik One. Listen to ‘Lizard In The Stream’ below:

Für Elise - Paradiso
BUY LINK: https://imwrecords.bandcamp.com/album/f-r-elise-paradiso
Label : IMW Records (https://soundcloud.com/ickmachwelle)

FÜR ELISE is a young Berlin band that emerged from Killekill's inclusive music project Ick Mach Welle. The band consists of African-German Elise Neumann on the microphone and
the legendary Turkish-Finnish music producer and crooner Khan of Finland, elementary component of the queer scene for over 30 years. Elise impresses with her soulful voice, incredible stage presence and freestyling skills, Khan with his over-all beauty and brilliance on the production. The two met for the first time in late 2023, clicked immediately and here they are with a whole stage show and this release on the young label IMW in their luggage.
The EP combines 3 tracks of electronic dub with quite a range in style: The title track Paradiso comes along in a very tropical fashion and has almost mainstream appeal. The lyrics reflect on Elise’s longing back to Barbados where she was brought up - the classic paradise with white sandy beaches and palms. She wants to go back, but she also makes quite clear that compared to Barbados Berlin is the place she actually wants to be at. It’s a
love/hate relationship between her and Barbados as well as Berlin.
The second track Boombastic is more on the dub techno dance floor tip. The lyrics also reflect on Elise’s roots, this time with a pumping kick drum laying underneath, which matches the anger potential this topic seems to bring up in Elise.
The third track Chemical Reaction is the most abstract piece and tells a story of a failed love on top of a dark and melancholic dub track. 

You'll be hearing a lot more from Für Elise. Stay tuned!

IMW is a new label linked to the Berlin project Ick Mach Welle, which aims to push for inclusivity in electronic music and culture. Expect frequent releases covering a wide range of styles.

On Oath’s latest release, the imprint is beyond proud to bring renowned Canadian producer Jesse Bru into the fold, who brings with him a truly barnstorming collection of music that dips deep into the inbetween and brings forth a captivating audial experience like no other……

Jesse Bru remains one of modern dance music’s most intriguing technicians, both from a humanistic and machine driven perspective. His sound is born deeply from 90s sample based approaches, and this fascination has been stretched out and rewritten constantly throughout his releases to great effect. Bru primarily releases music under the guise of House, but to delve deep within his records is to see a much broader perspective, where many genres can be found within the grooves and rhythms. His melodic work, with a particular emphasis on vocal samples as part of melodic exchanges with pianos and synths, is inspiring to say the least, and as a core facet of his work always aims to shift his sound onwards and upwards. There aren’t many styles that aren’t touched upon within his discography, and his journey to date feels very much like an exercise in understanding the liminal spaces that persist between a myriad of genres. Bru always finds new ways to mesmerise, entice and unfurl within his music, joyous yet calculated and unraveling - a distinctly infectious sound that keeps listeners engaged from start to finish. With stellar releases on labels such as Slothboogie, Aterral, Oath’s sub-label Last Year at Marienbad, Blaq Numbers and Happiness Therapy, there’s plenty to delve into and get to know.

‘Sea to Sky’ is Bru’s first LP since 2020’s ‘The Coast’, and there isn’t much ground or in-between spaces which he doesn’t cover over the album’s 13 glorious tracks. Shifting from simmering ambient to pumped up electro, sparkling House cuts through to unravelling downtempo numbers, Bru ensures the listener leaves the experience feeling the totality of his universe.

Sounds of Lava Lava 11
V/A - WAVES Volume 1
Label: Lava Lava (https://soundcloud.com/lava-lava)
https://www.instagram.com/lavalavauk
>  Lobos (https://soundcloud.com/lobosuk)
https://www.instagram.com/lobos_uk

After an amazing response to an open call for demos last year, Sounds of Lava Lava is proud to present the first edition of its various artists compilation; WAVES.  All five tracks span the vast Electronic genre, from deep and mesmerising grooves to rough and raw dance floor weapons.

Mirko Hecktor kicks off the compilation with Aquaborn; a slow burner laid out over almost 7 minutes where delicate arpeggiated synths bounce alongside soft drums, warm bass lines, wandering keys and chopped vocal samples to create a hypnotising and almost meditative track. Following up is a debut from Scottish producer Lobos.  Hailing from Fife and now a part of Glasgow's thriving music scene, his track 5am Sunrise has an energy and excitement which is reminiscent of early 90’s UK dance records.  Looped synth lines and melodies playfully develop and distort throughout while driving kicks and clean percussion lead through moments of euphoria.

Chris & Reece keep it low and slow with Red Right Hand.  Squelching acid-tinged bass lines weave between thumping drum patterns and gritty piano stabs while Reece’s echoing vocals create an almost tangible atmosphere.

Making a return to Sounds of Lava Lava is Glaswegian duo Pentland Park.  With Never Go Back they take the energy up a level with punchy drums and chest-shaking sub bass tones.  Delicate vocal samples contrast with the sharp percussion, adding a layer of beauty to this raw groove.  Finally Max Raskin closes out the compilation with California Honey.  A true hardware enthusiast, Max combines crunching synth lines, shuffling drum patterns, spiralling keys and reverberating vocal hooks to make a true dance floor heater.

Dalston Superstore resident @j_aria makes their debut on @adonisadonisadonis, marking the second release on the London queer party's in-house label.

Blistering synth stabs dither between rolling kicks and glistening hats are paired with a commanding vocal sample that declares: "pussy hot when I'm feeling real cunty" – creating a track that is effortlessly evocative of the smoky, late-morning sublimity of Adonis' dancefloor.

Premiere: J. Aria 'Pussy Suite'
