“It started a few days ago…any speaker you approach starts playing grainy, barely audible dance tunes. Sound bars, bluetooth and car speakers—you tried turning them off, synching and un-synching, unplugging them, and nothing has stopped the music. At first it was easy to brush off, but it’s too frequent to not take it personally. Yesterday you walked back and forth under the grocery store speaker twenty times, and each time you did, the music was there.

Now you’re lying in bed and it's happening again. This time out of your phone speaker. You pick up your phone and a prompt arrives: BEAM ME UP? There are two buttons under the question: “Yes” and “Yes.” After a sigh and a passing moment of fear, you pick a “Yes.”

Like in a movie, everything is suddenly white and you’re floating up. As you rise, the music gets louder and more defined, you’re approaching the source—and then, a moment of clarity: this is a space rave you’ve always hoped for.

You find yourself on a dancefloor in what might be a space station and the vibe is everything you need. The beings you find yourself dancing with, whoever they might be and wherever they might be from, are your community now. They’ve all gathered here to find the same thing you have: a rave utopia you had only dreamt of. “

Distant Signals 073: Lite Drama

The first Campette rode through the hottest heatwave California had experienced in recorded history. Even in the miasma of 110°F heat, I and the whole Envelope Soundsystem crew worked dutifully to keep the system tuned and the woofers alive. (At certain points, we erected a water-filled kiddy pool and were running the mixing desk with half our bodies submerged in the water and turgid plastic.) This set melted together just before sunset following an afternoon spent working in that headache-inducing heat. It's my interpretation of 'cvnty daytime summer camp' — a departure from my usual mood, but one I was drawn to by Campette’s curation of the trans-created haven that is Tan Oak Park. Part records and part digital, this mix comes laced with the manic delusion necessary to keep going even when everything around you feels like it's about to go up in flames.

Mixed with a DJM-900NXS2, 2x Pioneer PLX-1000 turntables, and 2x CDJ-2000NXS2.

Mix post-processing by Way.

FAITED x Campette

We previously wrote that this guest is a "bass wizard and sonic sorcerer" - this holds true enough, but we might need to brush up on our astrophysics to accommodate ADAB's expansive, space-time-traversing flow. A seasoned selector with an incredible range of emotive and kinetic rhythmic directions, ADAB's deft dancefloor work is trained by a zig-zagging dance music trajectory from front-of-house to behind the scenes, front door to behind the booth, from DIY corners to polished clubland. They have brought a real artist's vision to Philadelphia's roster of talent, and it's a pleasure to welcome them back.

When I think of degrowth in music, numerous labels and collectives from around the world come to mind—from Detroit to the UK to the Bay Area. Electronic dance music is inherently rooted in degrowth principles, yet I've watched its rise nearly overshadow these pure origins. Despite this reality, both young and established producers still maintain the spirit of degrowth throughout their work. Historically Bay Area labels like Grayhound Recordings or Squirrels on Film created something uniquely special entirely on their own, while newer labels like No Bias have successfully embodied degrowth values and have paved their own way in the music industry. This mix represents the necessary chaos required to destroy old structures and build new ones. I believe DIY culture is essential for creating better structures than those that came before us. This mix celebrates that idea, featuring some local Bay Area artists alongside others from around the world who operate outside big institutions. Hope you enjoy it.

Artist: Cressida
Title: 'Perfect Circle'
Label: Shaw Cuts
Cat. #: SC10Y
Format: Digital
Release: 25th June,​ ​2025
Pre order: https://shawcuts.bandcamp.com/album/10-years-of-shaw-cuts

Sounds From NoWhere is pleased to premiere a new Cressida' gem on 'Shaw Cuts'.

It all began with “Have Sword, Will Travel“, an EP that started the „armed“ journey with its many different ups and downs. 
But the label is still here and celebrates its 10th anniversary today. 
Besides being pretty emotional about the fact that this journey is still continuing after so many years, I’m also looking back at an intense period of time full of doubts, disappointments and mistakes. 
Especially social media leads us to believe that every life is so exciting, spectacular and unique and that you are doing something wrong compared to all of this glamorous self-promotion. 
If you really start comparing to these blissful images, things feel miserable very fast. 
But instead, the healthiest things are to just be yourself, to follow your vision no matter how slow and complicated things evolve and to avoid doing things that feel wrong and factitious. 
And because of that, everything is right where it should be for Shaw Cuts and it’s still so much fun and exciting to run this project. 
I’m trying my best to keep things going and to keep things fresh & exciting - hopefully for another decade.
Thank you all for the genuine appreciation and support of all the music that got released over the past 10 years, for having an open mind for all the different projects and for helping the label to grow and develop a certain brand recognition and identity. 
Without you none of that would have been possible. 
Have Sword, Will Travel.
