Elisa Bee returns to Stolen Goods Records with two hefty techno workouts and a remix from Cromby.

The system is down in ‘A Place In Space’, erratic bleeps dart playfully around sequenced sirens as a robotic voice presses the alarm, warning about magnetic failure. There’s no need to panic, Elisa Bee’s masterful groove turns this scene of interplanetary hardship into an exhilarating dancefloor moment, which is expertly remixed next by Irishman Cromby. Guesting on the thus-far all-Italian label, the now Berlin-based Rekids, Craigie Knowes, and Phantasy Sound artist contributes his signature house, techno and trance influences in this deep space offering. Closing out the EP, Elisa’s ‘There Might Be Other Ways’ then fires up the hyperdrives and turns on the strobelights, before slinging itself forward with ceaseless rhythm shot through with flashy synths.


Having first appeared on former NTS-host Lele Sacchi’s Stolen Goods Records in its ‘Volume 0’ compilation, Sardinia’s Elisa Bee returns to the Italian label following a busy few years. In addition to playing venues like Berlin’s Tresor and Tokyo’s Air, she’s appeared on Ben Sims’ Hardgroove and Symbolism, Truncate, and UTTU. She now unveils two new tracks on Lele’s imprint, hot on the heels of her recent ‘Sample Minds’ record on Posthuman’s Balkan Vinyl.

Artist: Tensal
Title: The New Land Order
Label: BPitch
Cat. No.: BPX030
Format: 12“ / Digital
Release Date: September 29th

For his next solo release as Tensal, Héctor Sandoval - known to many for his collaborative projects as Exium, Komatssu, and Selección Natural - debuts on BPitch with The New Land Order, a four-track package of intense, minimalist techno.

Functioning as an output for his solo work, Tensal is a project that amalgamates various references into an exploration of tension in electronic music. Built using a combination of strange harmonic dissonances and abstract rhythmic patterns, the tracks are designed to be layered over time to build a tautly wound intensity; DJ tools in the best sense of the word.

With a learned understanding of the ways in which atmospheric surroundings are built within electronic music, and the role that this plays within nightclubs and DJ sets, Tensal uses his solo alias to experiment with a powerful range of sonic structures. He expands:

‘The concept I was thinking about when I made the EP is the timelessness of my influences which are currently running away from mainstream "modern" Techno and are closer to the music I've played as a DJ since I started my career in 1992, things like Acid, EBM, Electro, Techno-Trance or the first Rave music.’

Opening the release is ‘Misandei’, a dose of industrial-leaning techno centred around a cyclical synth line that charges continuously as the drums move in different frameworks around it. Minimalist and expansive in equal measure, it encapsulates the juxtapositions that inform his sonic palette. Following closely behind is ‘Mors Tua’, a frenetic cut driven forward by a dissonant melodic line that teeters on the edge of losing control, just about staying on track. ‘Jugoplastika’ then steps straight into the main room with a frantic blend of surreal vocal loops and heavy distortions, whilst closing track ‘Kodex’ takes an unexpected turn into broken beat territory, driven by cavernous acoustics and euphoric bells.

The New Land Order finds Tensal in total control of his craft, carefully arranging layers of sound to create a powerful dose of tension on the dancefloor.

Kodex

Premiere: Tensal - Kodex [Bpitch]

With Dwellers, language and symbolism run deep as CAIV, a new collaboration from Israel Vines and Camille Altay, challenges listeners to embrace the ambiguity of existence, and accept incongruity as a vital part of the whole.

CAIV was borne of the partnership initiated on Israel Vines' 2021 track, Keeping, and Dwellers delves into the realms of sound, semiotics, and half-obscured meanings, starting with the word-association from the pair's chosen moniker that led to the EP's title.

As Vines explains, "CAIV is obviously our initials combined, and we both liked the "cave" references that it brought to mind - digging, exploring, existing pre-modernity and continuing underground through the ages."

Across the four tracks CAIV use both language and rhythm to create a dense strata of significance and buried meaning - titles like G&ouml;belki Tepe and &Ouml;tzi 2.0 reference prehistoric relics whose full history is unlikely to ever be unearthed, while Cymbalism and Shamanfreude exhibit a joy in word play that hints at the very old and modern at the same time.

Altay explains this further, "This convergence of pre-civilized ironies, opposites, conundrums, conjectures, this is what I love about these great human discoveries. There is no definitive answer - someone hazards a guess that is grasping for meaning. We can only feel our way towards the truth of it, based on the signs and symbols we know and have associations with."

Fittingly, the music itself is deep and reverberant - combining primaeval rhythms with modern sound production and unexpected instrumentation. The opening track, Cymbalism, is built around samples of Altay interacting with Polish artist Alicia Kwade's TunnelTeller - a sculpture they describe as "resonant metal tubes and concrete, resembling an instrument waiting to be played"; again this neophile urge to do things differently leads them paradoxically to techniques that might have been second nature to humans thousands of years ago.

Altay can't fully put a name to this drive: "I feel like in the music we write, Israel and I are grasping toward a language that we both share and grew up speaking, but can't actually write down. It's referential, and specific, but hard to describe&hellip;we live on opposite sides of the country, so the music we send back and forth feels a lot like we're signalling to each other by lighting fires on a mountain. It's a way to communicate deeply over a great expanse with a nonlinear gesture." It is this instinct to transmit experience in novel ways which drives the CAIV project.

PREMIERE : Astro - Planetary Blitz

When Radial Gaze meets Nicola Kubebe, the result is Iron Pinky Toad — a title that sounds either like a secret kung-fu move or a lost cartoon book. But don’t be fooled — this one hits hard.


The long-awaited collab brings three original tracks — Phantom Limb, Lights of Phoenix and the title cut Iron Pinky Toad — that effortlessly bridge the gap between slow-burning tribal techno and the raw pulse of new beat nested into an early techno nutshell. Imagine dancing barefoot in a ritual under a disco eclipse — you’re getting close.

To seal the record, Playground Records boss Martin Noise steps in alongside rising sensation Anastasia Zems, pushing the release into full-blown dancefloor sorcery. The groove is deep, the bass is sweaty, and the toad… well, the toad is on fire !

Dropping Friday, July 18, 2025, via THISBE Recordings — available on vinyl and digital. Spin it, stream it, or whisper its name into the smoke at 3AM — either way, the dancefloor won’t know what hit it.

Let the amphibian groove begin.

"In between an abrasive intensity, 
calm surprises us, embraces and surround us, 
evoking our thoughts to our most primitive and noble past.
We know that it won't last forever.
Life as a game between change and continuity. 
Music as a nexus."
