Medellín-based producer Erre Ye (fka Retrograde Youth) shares a seven track LP,  'Busqueda' on Colombian label, @art-ficio. Based in Medellin, Erre Ye has been engrained in the Colombian scene for over 10 years from making music to running parties and now in the (informal) academic field too.

'Búsqueda' is a science-fiction inspired, extraterrestrial journey through darker sounds, brimming with unusual textures and exhilirating twists and turns. 'Concur' is a body moving track exploring deconstructed club and IDM.

Mancunian synth queen @sarahbates wraps up the record beautifully with her transcendent vocal cut ‘All About That’ - classic machine drum programming and low-slung bass drive forward over subtle keys creating a strong, moody atmosphere.

BITE announces the solo debut of the label boss himself – Hayden Payne aka Phase Fatale – with his first EP in 5 years.

The New York native and Berlin-based BITE label founder has long made a name for himself as one of the main players on the heavy electronics arena. Berghain and Khidi resident with releases on labels like Jealous God, Ostgut Ton and unterton under his belt.

The EP consists of five tracks canonical to Payne’s signature futuristic industrial style, including a remix by the interdisciplinary artist Rrose. Not deprived of romantic sensibility, and yet with punchy groove and heavy hitting arpeggiations, the record comes together as a flavourful mix of sci-fi-like electro, unsettling vocals, powerful industrial techno, and atmospheric guitar driven wave.

Premiere: Phase Fatale 'Desecrating Vows (Rrose Remix)'

Pre-order: https://fauxpoly.bandcamp.com/album/eliza

@fauxpoly kicks off 2023 with 'Eliza', a beautifully detailed and rugged EP by @ste_roberts. Ste's signature style of deep, sometimes haunting rhythmic productions shine through on the four-tracker.

“This EP was written and produced at a really unique time of my life as I moved my home studio into a new space due to the birth of our daughter, Eliza," he says. |The real-life hustle kicked in as my freedom to have a jam when I felt creative had gone. Getting used to a new space and making time count was the new way, and here is the first EP from that time."

these are weird songs that no one asked for. people forget i rap and sometimes i do to. this is a step towards changing that. i wrote all of the raps that i recite and i made these beats. everyone else who raps on this project wrote their own raps. we're racist against ghosts. 

having a passion for creating is something i didn't ask for. sometimes it feels like a curse. i didn't ask for the life-hurdles. you didn't ask for raps. 


go listen to some of my older raps:

i wrote all of the raps that i recite and i made these beats. everyone else who raps on this project wrote their own raps. we're racist against ghosts. 

brandi took a picture of me on a car. then, way later, i asked her to make it look like a crude drawing. she did it in like 2 minutes because she knows that i'm a simple man. i love her. 

big up to my fam n friends. big up to everybody who told me i should rap more. big up to brandi, khary, krys, saron, jon, jeff, bryan, brendan, jarred, mike, dave, charles, al, hughie, troy, mal, jeff milo, and anybody else that may have encouraged me. thanks.

Populous - Alala (Bawrut Acid Rain Forest Mix)

Chess is the thinking mans game. A game for the chronic overthinker, whether you start with the Sicilian defence or the Queens gambit, this is a game for Karpov... not Kasprov. 
Karakter have been on fine form this year and this is a gorgeous addition with a slightly off kilter and pretty wonky breakbeat track which straddles the line between new age and heater. 
Alex Pletnev has been a staple of Vilnius scene and his remix is an absolute testament to both chess and his skills as a remixer. 
Some lovely noises punctuate this track as it slowly builds with no fanfare but total intensity, listen without prejudice please because this is awesome.
