It’s hard to believe it’s been 16 years since Throne of Blood Recordings began. Originally conceived as a platform to release vinyl singles from NYC legends The Rapture, the label has grown and evolved into a stalwart of leftfield electronic music and a launchpad for some massively influential artists including Daniel Avery and Bicep.

We’ve never needed an excuse to celebrate, but hitting this milestone has made us contemplate our place in the world, reflecting on the relationships that have made Throne of Blood such an integral part of our lives and our legacy as an incubator for tomorrow’s most remarkable artists. So we’ve put together a series of anniversary EPs that bring our past and future together on the dance floor.

The first of four releases, Anniversary EP #1 features longtime friend and label collaborator Chloe Thévenin of Parisian powerhouse Lumiere Noire Records, label manager Max Pask in collaboration with Tigersushi mainman Joakim (for the first time since their killer edit of Evan’s Pyramid for Cultures Of Soul), NYC techno mainstay and Bunker affiliate Justin Cudmore, and Liona, a wildly talented producer from Ulaanbaatar.

Four musical points of view with one goal in mind: making people dance. And there’s loads more to come…

Theus Mago & Curses - ‘Antídoto’ EP

The long anticipated collaboration between Mexico City-based Theus Mago & Berlin’s Curses is finally here, bringing their punk and psychedelic rock-infused dark club music to light. The two producers joined forces when shit hit the fan during the beginning of the pandemic, eager for a return to the clubs. ‘Antídoto’ EP is a cocktail of musical styles; nostalgic and futuristic, dubby and punky, noisy and moody. Get Lost. Get Found. What dimension did we just vortex into? What planet have we landed on? It Doesn’t matter, its fuckn’ weird but you can’t stop dancing.


Out on Optimo Music Digital Danceforce on October 7th.

Roam Records label boss Jason Peters is back with a new EP of psychedelic italo inspired originals. The EP opens with What Are You Saying - a mid tempo chugger featuring Jason's voice drifting over arpeggiated bass lines and electronic melodies with a bit of vocoder splashed in. The title track Little Cages picks the tempo up with a pulsating thematic drive. The EP is backed by remixes from Zillas on Acid and Club Tularosa. Zillas is up first with a gorgeous dubbed out version or What Are You Saying. Club Tularosa takes on the title track and brings the fun with an upbeat bassline and uplifting melody.

Loft Music by Ian Vale is the latest release on Paisley Dark Records.
Inspired heavily by David Mancuso and the famous parties at the 
Loft in NYC in the early 70’s, Ian’s original track is an acid tinged 
prime time oor ller, which captures the essence of those heady 
days and demands to be played in it’s entirety and on nothing but 
the best sound systems. This is a party starter !!!
Included on the EP are great remixes from Mindbender, who takes 
the listener on a blissed out balearic dub excursion in to outerspace.
Paisley Dark regulars Jezebell, weigh in with a DC Go-go inspired 
workout which brings the funk to the disco whilst retaining the dark 
of the paisley.
33rd December nish of the release with their trade mark super 
slow chug, perfect for any warm up set.

PREMIERE : Ian Vale - Loft Music (Mindbender Deep Dub Mix)

Serbian born, Los Angeles raised producer and DJ, Masha Mar, will deliver her debut full length EP this November, inaugurating the new Southern California based imprint, Night Prism.
Masha Mar is a prominent figure in the US scene as a DJ, event organiser with her Dig Deeper and Take It Outside parties, and on the airwaves with her radio show on NTS and Dublab. Her raw house material has so far found a home on the likes Sisters of Sound, Femme House, and Dusk Recordings and here she marks a
milestone in her production career with her debut EP. Across the three-tracker Mar fuses elements ranging from Italo to house to dub, working with live drums alongside drum machines and synths like the Roland TR-808, Juno 60, Moog Voyager and more. The project will come via the new Night Prism imprint and party coming out of Southern California. Co-founder of Bouquet Records Bailey and crew-member Marcel seek to honour the diverse community that gathers for dance music. As a prism, the party & label refracts, reflects, and aspires to represent the broad spectrum of music and identity.
Title-cut ‘Virgil’s Dream’ leads with a feel-good disco feel merging organic percussion and a crunchy drum machine workout alongside hazy, hypnotic vocals, hooky string sequences and squelchy, acid-tinged tones. An instrumental mix is offered up to follow, laying focus on the raw drums and intricate synth work alone.
‘Extended Release’ follows next to open the B-Side, built around thunderous drums, an Italo-inspired bassline, and entrancing synths to take you on a dynamic, dance floor focused journey. Closing out the EP on a deeper tip is ‘City of Refuge’, employing an electro-leaning 808 drum groove and gnarly bass hook alongside bubbling, dubbed- out tones, ethereal vocal chants, and cinematic strings.

PREMIERE :  Masha Mar - Virgil's Dream

RNT brings the heat for their 2nd outing in their Family Affair compilation series, representing both their ever-expanding RNT menáge, as well as their tight knit musical nuclear fam. Aural hugs all around on this fam jam!

Family Affair Vol. 2

PREMIERE : Boo Williams - Besty Smith

For miles and miles towering green trees populated the land, easing only to allow the river to weave and wander in-between. There was much to explore here in the forest - either on foot or by boat - these pathways and meandering bodies of water had seen more than any human had in their lifetime. It felt magical and otherworldly out here, nothing but nature enveloping you in its wonders, but how long before it would fade away? How long before it would be wounded and ravaged? Or had the damage already been done...

Ruinas boss Black Pomade is gearing up for the launch of a brand new series called Manzo Edits for, you guessed it, a carefully curated selection of edits from friends and peers. For the debut release he invites WONDER, AEF and DHP AKA Life Dee to feature alongside him, as they all put their own stamp on a disparate sounds and styles. Every edit is primed for club play, but there's a bit of something for everyone. It launches with dark, percussive synth-pop before settling into a funky old school breaks and chugging acid grooves, all rounded off with a disco house edit to get the floor moving.

PREMIERE: Manzo Edits - Brazil (AEF Edits) [Manzo Edits]

Had life only just started? It seemed everything that came before now had started to fade into darkness... Problems that once felt catastrophic no longer mattered; selfish pursuits were no longer on the agenda. It wasn't just them anymore, there was another life to think about other than their own. Everything had been flipped on its head and, though scary and unknown, they were ready to dive in headfirst.

Italian DJ and producer Fango launched his E Dee series last June dedicated to a life-changing event that had taken place a few years prior: the birth of his first child Carlo. Each release explores the world his son sees but communicated through Fango's own eyes (and ears). Now on volume two, and with Peruvian imprint Degustibus on board this time, he shares three cosmic, driving grooves that take their titles from Carlo's own vocabulary, while the artwork uses Carlo's mouth as the image for the centre sticker and his own drawing for the inner sleeve. Another chapter in a very personal and beautiful ode to becoming a parent.
