Fuaim are proud to present our first digital V/A compilation featuring a range of talented friends and artists from around the globe.

Drifting through the sounds of progressive house and trance, FUA001 is a nod to what was once a booming scene in Dublin for the sound we have come so fond of today, bridging the sonic generational gap of trance, techno and psychedelic rhythms.

Proceeds from this release will be donated to the ELSC - an organization providing free legal support to protect and support advocates for Palestinian rights in Europe - more information available at elsc.support/about

PIFF Records welcome 4 in-demand artists to the label on their latest release, also available as a limited 500 press vinyl release.

Home to forward-thinking house, trance, and techno, PIFF Records boasts a diverse yet united musical output. Cosmic, dub-driven techno, atmospheric house beats, and everything in between coalesces under the imprint’s distinctive output of thoughtful, club-ready sounds. All aspects of PIFF Records come together on this release as the featured artists balance the cerebral and visceral in their productions.

Cybernet kicks off the release with Resonant Shifter. Pumping kicks lay the foundation for captivating synth arpeggios and warped call and response basses in this ‘90s-inspired cut of contemporary progressive trance. The perfect soundtrack for any location from sunset on the Ibiza seafront to sunrise as the shutters open at a warehouse rave.

Goa elements are out in full force on Hoe Down, courtesy of Glen S. Squelchy 303s, low textures, and metallic arpeggios resonate above a pulsating bassline and weighty kicks, relentlessly pushing forward and ascending to a new sonic dimension - taking you along for the ride.

Body Clinic substitutes the progressive trance for progressive house on Love X, bringing down the tempo but keeping intensity intact. An infectious, syncopated plucked bassline dances around groove-rich drums, psychedelic effects and leads indebted to early ‘90s releases. A masterful blend of the past, present, and future together on one track. 

Closing the EP with Empty Clip, Tom Jarmey disrupts the 4x4 rhythms of the preceding tracks with a genre-bending cut of electro-infused breaks. Two-step drums are matched with clinical sound design, deep basses, and mystical arpeggios. Sure to add depth to any set and turn heads in the process.

Gamma Intel returns to Nerve Collect with four tracks of electrically charged bass, techno and broken beats. His Time Loop EP explores a range of rhythms and tempos aimed squarely at the floor.

Nerve Collect co-founder Gamma Intel is Dutchman Laurens van de Werken. He has always worked at the intersection of several different sounds, even as his references have evolved from chugging techno to deconstructed jungle. A unifying theme is this meticulous sound design: it's leftfield and experimental but underpinned by irresistible rhythms while his synths are so tactile you could almost reach out and grab them. His latest studio adventures mark another subtle shift across four hard-to-define and otherworldly transmissions sent back from the future.

‘Construct’ crackles with paranoid urgency driven by underlapping drums that push a cantering rhythm. Fragmented vocal chops and fuzzy, static-laced synths swirl throughout the mix to create a vortex of controlled chaos. Eerie breakdowns offer fleeting breaths, but the creeping tension of surveillance never fully releases before the disorienting momentum draws you back in. ‘Node’ feels like a computer meltdown fused with a floating, dub-inflected and steppy rhythm. Snares flutter up top as frothing synths and warped bass bring the pressure. The final touch is human vocals, decayed by signal inference, which melt into percussive loops and echo about the mix. 

‘Cycle’ takes a more muscular approach. The oversized drums and hits engage in battle with a snaking lead as a backlit glow consumes both to provide for a moment of human beauty that contrasts with the stark machine warfare around it. ‘Lever’ dives into deep dubstep madness, its full-bodied waves lurching like a storm-tossed ocean. Intricate details like distant sirens, flickering streetlights and mutant sine waves fill the stereo field and, paired with the unstoppable rhythmic force, hypnotise body and mind. 

Gamma Intel's Time Loop EP is a masterclass in tension, texture and momentum that pushes club music into uncharted territory, keeps the body moving and the imagination fully engaged.
