Black Teeth Radio: 45TOEREN with Maraschino 06-06-2025

Out now - 12 tracks: double vinyl and digital 

In 2013, Different Circles launched with Weightless Volume One, a compilation that helped define a new minimalist aesthetic in electronic music. 

Twelve years later and after a six-year pause, the label returns with its tenth release: Ping Volume One.

Like weightless, ping isn’t a genre. It's an approach to anchoring and propelling sound without relying on the steady pulse of a kick drum.

Instead, a single percussive hit — the ping — holds the centre. Dry and high in the mix, or echoing distantly through space, it becomes a temporal anchor. Around it, the rest of the track can undulate, bend, float or collapse.

The term first appeared on Mumdance’s radio show, where playing “the pingy ones” from the Different Circles back catalogue became a running joke. In the Discord community, it evolved into a shared language, with memes, lore and a mascot known as the Ping Devil.

In 2023, Mumdance aired The “Ping Report” a radio show that gathered everything into a coherent moodboard. It included original tracks made by Discord members for the show and set the foundations. From there, more producers began making ping intentionally, and over time, Ping Volume One took shape.

As the idea came into focus, Logos and Mumdance noticed that much of the Different Circles back catalogue, if not explicitly weightless, could now be understood through the lens of ping. It was a sound they had been drawn to long before they had a language to describe it.

Ping Volume One is a document of shared instinct. A collection of tracks connected by feel rather than formula, shaped by years of dialogue between a community of artists and listeners who were drawn to the same sounds & ideas before they had a name.

AMIT - Dirt Doctor

Label boss Dubrunner steps into the ring to close the EP. His remix of Onstera strips the original down to a raw, incisive workout — razor-sharp drums, heavy on the bass. Built for a sound system dystopia.

A new addition to the NHS roster, Steel Traxx joins at the 34 mark with three surging, buzzy club offerings applicable across a span of factors; energy, pace, duration of evening, yet Cohesive in their strident hypnotism. The Manchester-based producer carries a short, yet pronounced legacy of productions, having honed a definable approach to the brand of wonky, eclectic club music. Initial outings via a debut EP on London’s Erbium Records and single-track features on Manchester’s own Rubber Works demonstrate a clear vision and intention of sound, furthered only by the entrance into NHS territory.

A delicate balance of synthetics drenched in unnatural delays, crunchy, earthy percussion sampling and haunting melodies make for a package of intensely club-ready USB additions tailored effectively to a range of atmospheres. Holistic employment of rolling, building energy features across the selection; a masterful, refined second EP from one of the scene’s freshest newcomers.
