Release Date: 7th July 2023

Love Love continues the LOVLTD series with a follow up from Bristol based producer Ben Pest. In a similar vein to his previous 12" on Love Love, ‘On The Three’, it’s an all out techno affair with 4 high powered tracks geared for destroying dancefloors.

Eponymous track ‘Cancel Couture’ is driven by a hard four to the floor kick and thick squelchy acid line with a percussion workout for maximum groove while ‘My First Rodeo’ is a tearing stomper of a track, reminiscent of 90’s warehouse hard techno with huge sub bass pounding in an off-kilter rhythm.

The flip-side kicks off with ‘PP Breaks’ which, as its name might suggest, is a breakbeat track with a particularly rubbery electro bassline and hard snare, providing an elastic party experience.

Track 4 is ‘Bad B’ which provides a raucous highlight to the EP - A rough chunky acid hardware jam with deep bass and rich drum machine rhythms, adorned with stuttering fills and a tidy 303 that bleeds tightly in the mix.

A real stormer of a 12’’ that captures some of the magic Ben Pest has been known for performing in his live PA

Manchester-based producer, DJ, and Kultura head honcho @lo5ive shares a high-energy remix of his latest single 'Set Me Free', out on June 29 via @black-butter-records.

@y_u_qt put their own late-night, uptempo, wobbly spin on the gospel and funky-influenced original. The remix, which has been getting a rapturous response at all of Y U QT’s sets over the spring/summer, received multiple plays at Glastonbury over the weekend.

@worldwideunlimited gives the remix treatment to @user-14305412's 'New Year's UnResolution' — Where L’Rain’s single is perhaps her most overtly pop-influenced so far, Python’s remix falls squarely into the chill-out ambient category bringing to mind his own downtempo epics that nod to the likes of Boards of Canada and the epochal Café del Mar series. DJ Python is a pillar of the Brooklyn/Queens based scene via a long-running residency at Nowadays. He gained wide spread recognition for his release Mas Amable on label Jenny Slattery’s label, Incienso.

Pushing the boundaries of modern techno, @iamlucaeck kicks off their brand new label 2626 Group with a hyper-futuristic new EP, 'Quantum State'.

“'Quantum State' is a sonic embrace of my non-binary identity," they explain. "Expressing a multitude of experiences at once, it is about the space outside the binary, about fluidity. About combinations, intersections, hybrids, fusions, blends and crossovers. Identity as plural. Accepting the contradictions within oneself as unity."

Dual Dimension EP marks a milestone for Fides Records releasing its 20th entry in the main catalog. This split EP features labelhead Z.I.P.P.O and eclectic duo Tapefeed, each contributing two tracks to create a unique blend of sounds that capture the essence of techno.

Side A opens with Tapefeed's Hellz Bellz, a percussive workout that delivers stripped-down, peak-time energy, perfect for driving dance floors into a frenzy.
Following 'Surge of Hope' takes listeners on an evolving journey, starting deep and gradually transforming into an energetic yet meditative composition.

On Side B, Z.I.P.P.O's 'Satara' stands out as a 909-based techno gem. Its mind-twisting sound design, rolling lead, and mental bleeps take you on a profound auditory voyage, rich with depth and complexity. The Side B concludes with 'The
Strange Door' a deep techno track that combines tribal rhythms with atmospheric depth.

"Boom" kicks off the EP by blending electro vibes with urban rap, featuring a punchy groove and vocal loops.
