It seems like something very bearable to me, it puts me in the perspective of being in a fictional world in a scene from The Madaloriam.

@squidgenini lands on @beatsofnonationradio with a new five-track EP, 'All The Way', featuring remixes from fellow Meanjin/Brisbane creatives David Versace and Charlie Hill.

'All The Way' came to life back in 2019 after an impulse purchase of a Roland 303 clone. What started as an ambient B-side evolved into an organic, soulful expression, radiating hope for the future.

Get ready for five electrifying tracks that will keep you moving and jukin'.
Authentic Footwork and Juke styles, direct from the birthplace of the genre, by Chicagos own DJ.MC.

A producer and DJ from the Low End projects, that found his passion for music and dance during childhood at the Bud Billiken parade. He joined the South Shore Drill dance team, grooving to ghetto house beats. Inspired by Gant-Man's juke and ghetto house tape in '98, he began producing with DJ ROC and EQ-Why during high school. His international debut was in 2010 on Planet Mu's Bangs and Works comp. After a 5-year hiatus, DJ Spinn encouraged his return in 2022 and has now teamed up with us Former City Records in 2023 to bring you this 5 Track EP.

Eterna - the new label from Lisbon run by local mainstay @mariaamoramormaria - presents its first release 'Aerosol' by another of the city's most interesting electronic music artists, @bleiddd. A true sonic polymath, BLEID is known for their range as a music-maker and as a DJ: ambient, techno, reggaeton,
guitar-led jams are all an integral part of their musical lexicon. In this EP, though, all eyes are most definitely on the dancefloor.
Opener 'Rubber Band Land Calling' is an off-kilter percussive exercise held together by subby kicks that can't seem to stand still, punctuated with lush pad washes that breathe life and optimism into the otherwise defying atmosphere. Joyful resistance in a track. Drum experimentalism is also served
in 'Hellastic Fantastic', with snares taking center stage and the kick pattern zig zagging dynamically between broken motifs and four to the floor hypnotism. 
Things remain on an ever-changing drum-led tip - but get slightly darker - in 'New Age Waste', all sound design impact and perfectly executed leftfield drum programming that wants us to shake our hips, not just bang our heads, as we dance. 'Desce', homonymous to BLEID's party series, feels like
an homage to queer rave innovation by referencing iconic vocal and hoover hooks over a broken, genre-defying dance beat.
@boredlord steps in for the first remix of the record: the iconic American artist, part of the T4T LUV NRG family, picks up BLEID's opening track and turns it into an imaginative breakbeat-led groover where vibes reign supreme.
Local legend and a key part of the Príncipe family @nidiasukulbembe redefines cadency and swing with a complex but natural - and expertly sculped, watch out for the sound design on this one - reinterpretation of 'Hellastic Fantastic'. A hair-raising finale to an EP that screams fresh perspectives: the way we make music and dance is changing and Eterna is here to document it.

BLEID - Rubber Band Land Calling (Bored Lord Remix)

Following 2023’s all-conquering ‘Malware Trance’ — a peak-time dose of exe.stascy played by all (all) your favourite DJs — Martyn Bootyspoon returns to Local Action with a new two-tracker of precision-tooled club heat.

One of North America’s finest and busiest DJs, we’ve made this point before but Bootyspoon is someone who just gets club music: the history, the dynamics, the key touchstones and the whole lineage. And crucially, when it comes to making it, he’s got the juice. No matter how wild or wonky, his tracks always move dancefloors, and ‘Doors at 11’ is a perfect example: hard drums and an even harder bassline that gets every bit of value out of some automated resonance and a salt shaker perc riff. Perfect heavy warm-up music, basically.

The B-side, meanwhile, feels like a sequel to ‘Malware Trance’, using a pair of interlocking synth riffs and waterdrop percussion to ride that same line between anxiety and euphoria — somewhere between a cold sweat and a hot flush.
