EMA’s Woozy label continues apace with WZY2.5; a new compilation highlighting 8 artists from Ireland and afar that embody the imprint’s obsession with low-end futurism. Featuring 2 production debuts, this release acts as an exciting snapshot of the talented global community surrounding the label and its founder.

Dublin-based Ambit kicks us off with Act Of Goodness, her impressive debut that skanks on a ‘08 dread-step tip. Fellow Dub PLUS ONE drops/raises the tempo for TRIAL, a stripped back halftime sub workout. Mid Air’s Huna seesaws a techno dancehall/d’n’b lurch with wild exploratory sound design in Lang. More Cowbell’s Eich also debuts with the mid-tempo party bass swagger of INDUCTION. Vancouver’s Destrata applies throbbing wubs and dramatic breaks on a smart 2-step break in Amphibian Barrier. Amsterdam’s Jasmín takes things on a more sinister route, delivering the technoid punk chug of Grumpy Cat. New York’s Sobolik revs up the gears with the playful ‘n’ bouncy hardcore rush of Deadly. WDDS sees us out with Slow Burner, a tense d’n’b roller that itches with junglist rinse-out fervour for a proper finale.

Prolific Japanese producer T5UMUT5UMU has built up a reputation in the last few years for his ability not just to recreate club styles but to flip them into almost unrecognizable dancefloor hybrids.

Invité Spécial ⏤ T5UMUT5UMU

The restaurant was full, brimming with the creme de la creme of society - anyone who was anyone could be found lurking in this dimly lit establishment. Amongst the clusters of suited up business men and their trophy wives, she propped herself at the bar, waiting anxiously to meet the woman who could potentially change her life. If all went well, she'd be rubbing shoulders with this clientele regularly, dressed in the most designer of garments, sipping on the most expensive of champagnes. It's what she'd always wanted, a real in to the high society, but really she knew that, underneath the facade, she'd still always feel like an outsider. 

Amsterdam's Flippen Disks are launching a brand new offshoot, Flippen Bits. In contrast to the main label which highlights artists exploring borderless music that can be listened to at home or played on the dance floor, the sub-label will focus more on functional club music, starting with an EP from Welsh-born, Amsterdam-based producer Maroki. Best served late at night, the future-facing tracks that make up Coldred are full of bass weight and dense percussion, layered over frenetic breakbeats.

Rising UK talent @dyslecta arrives on Scuffed Recordings with three new hybrid UK techno tracks, backed with a heavyweight remix from @henzotrax.

On his ‘Eating Woodlice’ EP, Dyslecta continues his artistic growth with three tracks exploring different BPM ranges and production techniques, fused by his love of techno and other UK dance music genres.

Describing the EP as being ‘testament to what you can do with the most limited amount of samples and kit’, the release sees Dyslecta unifying a broad range of production techniques while maintaining a recognisable sonic backbone throughout.

Following the release of Ariel Zetina’s acclaimed debut album Cyclorama — an Album of the Year in Crack Mag, Pitchfork, Billboard, Bandcamp & more — Local Action presents the first in a pair of accompanying remix EPs.

A revitalised L-Vis 1990 transforms ’Slab of Meat’ into a sub-zero grime banger, DANNN doubles down the drums on a souped-up VIP of ‘Smooch Track’, and ‘MAGIN’ transport ‘Gemstone’ to another plane entirely.

Tracklist:
01. Slab of Meat (L-Vis 1990 Remix)
02. Smooch Track (DANNN Remix)

@erosion-22520612's first release is a four-track EP from London-based producer @sam-black747 (Slacker), featuring four original compositions - a mesmeric fusion of sub-heavy bass, distorted textures, and haunting melodies.

‘View from an Empty Lake’ navigates the depths of solitude, intricately threading together reflections and existential quests, drawing the listener into a fully immersive world.
