Paria x Siempre: Edición Carnival - Edna Martinez 100725

This track is from the forthcoming 'latent bangers vol. 1' EP. It takes inspiration from club music, albeit from a much more introspective view. Essentially they are anthems for anyone who has ever felt alone in the club.

openmode is the sonic musings of Anthony and Mark who both met, and still exist to some degree, within the gravitational field of London. They were introduced through a mutual friend and bonded over their appreciation of Burial, Talk Talk and finely patterned textiles. They spent years sending albums to one another, as well as pursuing solo attempts at music making, before realising there may be some merit in attempting to make music together.

Much of their sound is borne from navigating the creative process remotely, owing to their debut jam occurring on the eve of the first lockdown (and plagued with firmware based issues). Rightly or wrongly, they persevered in their attempts to create music, but from a far. Through a plethora of voice notes and massively exploiting the free usage policy of wetransfer, they began to develop their sound.

Their sound is heavily based on Mark’s vocal musings and motifs. These are then sliced, diced and (for the most part) lovingly reconstructed by Anthony, into something that may cause people to want to slightly move their body to it. This process has resulted in a montage of musical memories for the duo, spanning longer than either can fully remember.

NIGHT SHIFT

“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.

Breakfast with Felix Joy & Stephen Print Paradiso - 08 September 2025

Brussels-based DJ, producer and music journalist BunZer0 has been championing underground bass music and techno on his long standing ‘FOB Show ‘ for Sub FM. He returns to R&S Records RSMIX series with a new selection of heavyweight sounds.

“For this specific mix I talked to a group of producers I am close to in order to get a maximum of exclusive tracks, to make that recording very special for the beloved host, R&S Records. I also wanted this mix to be representative of the big variety of rhythms we got now in Bass Music, going from dark 2 step, to some Technoish beats, or UK Funky grooves, but also Dubstep and its tireless halfstep beat, Electroish beats”…

RSMIX055 - BunZer0

Pre-order: https://mountxlr.bandcamp.com/album/phase-i

Seoul's Mount XLR (@kwangjaejeon) is a master at sculpting samples and sounds in a way that makes his music feel 3D — a throbbing entity, gritty and alive. On his new EP, 'Phase i', via @sound-supplyservice, he's deeply influenced by UK music - particularly bass, post-dubstep, and garage.

The six-tracker closes with 'Codrington Bounce', a cut partly produced in London that ties together the record’s dual energy and brings the narrative full circle.

Premiere: Mount XLR 'Codrington Bounce'
