Chicago. Detroit. New York. London. Tuscany. The beautiful Italian region conjures up many impressions: the timeless artworks and architecture of Florence, the fresh flavours of the food and wine produced in its lush landscape, even the famous white Carrara marble that’s dug from the ground and exported around the world. But probably the last thing you’d associate it with is electronic music. Until now.

Luca Bacchetti’s debut album “SECRET WORLD” is a work almost 15 years in the making. It’s also one that required the endlessly touring DJ to traverse the world numerous times before an inner call came to return home to Italy to record it. Having earned a reputation for crafting club cuts, a fact underlined by releases on the world’s most recognisable labels, from Wagon Repair, Ovum, Mule Musiq, All Day I Dream, Crosstown Rebels, Culprit to Defected and his own @Endless-Worldwide imprint, it’s a radical sonic departure. But it’s one that reflects both his homecoming and the journey to get there. ”With this, I entered a new world I’ve never shown before,” he says.

After spending ten years between Italy and Barcelona, his bases to play everywhere from Tokyo’s Womb to DC10 in Ibiza, in 2017 he moved back to his native Tuscany. Here, at the beginning of 2018, he decamped for two weeks to a bungalow in Il Ciocco. An area of exceptional natural beauty, he was joined by friends and musicians Stefano Onorati (keyboards), Andrea Guzzoletti (trumpet) and Leo Di Angilla (percussion). All Italian, their sole intention was to capture the ineffable feeling that had drawn Luca back. “We make a living with this job and there are always compromises,” says Luca on his past experience of the music industry. “With the album I aimed to be totally free, I just followed my instinct.”

The result is a masterful vision of electronica swelling with emotional contours as majestic as the lands that inspired it. Title track “Secret World” is epic on the scale of the grand Apennines Mountains, while “Awakenings” evokes spring sunshine with soft, tentative piano. The album also captures the countries Luca has fallen in love with on his way. “Black Swan” his opening track playing for Robot Heart at last year’s Burning Man festival in Nevada, USA trips out in a squeal of psychedelic guitar. “La Ruta Del Sur” and “Fervor De Buenos Aires”, meanwhile captures the distinct melodies and rhythmic complexity of South America, and the contemplative “After The Silence” features two Balinese Rindik musicians recorded after Nyepi Day, a day of national silence.

Growing up in the tiny village of Pieve Fosciana, there were no record shops or clubs. Radio was Luca’s saviour and he followed its lure into DJing, production, then, since 2005, playing around the world. His path has encompassed a wide musical love of everything from Bristolian trip-hop to Detroit techno, but these city’s histories aren’t his own truth.

Luca’s secret world is no longer secret. You can apply the same go to adjectives to the album as used to describe Tuscany at large: ‘simple’, ‘honest’, ‘beautiful’, ‘earthy’, ‘romantic’. In the end, language fails to capture the sublime nature of his roots. Next to experiencing them directly, the closest you’ll get is “Secret World” - an alchemical transformation of the images in Luca’s head into the universal language of music.

Stenny’s second album on Ilian Tape is an exploration of disintegration as a structural principle. Each track operates as a unit — fractured, self-contained — yet part of a wider language that resists linear cohesion. The work bears the imprint of spatial, psychological, and material disruptions — not as narrative, but as structural interference.
Tension is treated as a condition to work with, a material in itself, a zone where form is continually destabilized, but never fully dismantled.

BASSA NOSTRA @FMF25

Following the release of Faulter’s Obstinacy earlier this year, we’ve turned two long-standing CF regulars and welcome two newcomers to provide their takes on the label co-founder’s debut club collection.

As with the original, the remix EP unfolds in 2 halves: a pair of minimal-rooted 4-to-the-floor club tools, followed by a heady ‘B-side’ steeped in techno and IDM.

Label mainstay Syz kicks things off with a bouncy rendering of the title track in signature production style with his ‘Space Carnival Mix’, while the elusive B. McQueen dives into Zaf, providing a skippy, rolling tech-house backbone that brings the dubby elements of the original track into full club mode.

On the flip, it’s a genuine pinch-me moment at CFHQ to feature one of our all-time favourites, Forest Drive West, transforming Perspectives into an unforgettable slo-mo chug-dub-techno trip full of the intensity only he can deliver. Rounding off, our best-loved Bristolian Yushh leans into the 90bpm range with her Swamp-pusher remix, a twisted headfuck of a beat (good luck dancing to this one), reminiscent of early Squarepusher productions.

Faulter - Perspectives (Forest Drive West Remix)

Berlin-based Mexican artist Viiaan unveils her new EP “Taiko”, a bold four-track exploration of rhythm, ritual, and futuristic bass. The title, “Taiko,” is drawn from the Japanese word for “drum,” symbolizing both the instrument itself and the communal force of ancient drumming ceremonies.
Across the EP, Viiaan fuses primal percussion with razor-sharp digital textures, shaping rhythm into pure motion.
The opening track, “Taiko,” sets the tone with glitchy micro-sounds that feel alive, mechanical yet organic. Massive drum strikes collide with synthetic fragments, evoking a futuristic tribal ritual.
“Amaterasu” continues with breakbeat ferocity, drenched in juicy percussion while a vocal slides in with raw confidence, charging the track with direct, physical energy. “Elohalo” shifts gears into rolling trap-inspired rolls, sub-heavy grooves and driving percussion. Its vocal accents keeping the intensity taut and immediate. Finally, “Azkhar” digs deeper — heavy, spacious, and alive with rhythmical chopped reese drones and flowing tribal grooves.
Between mechanical precision and primal power, the EP captures rhythm as a timeless human language — ancient in spirit, modern in execution.

About Viiaan

Viiaan, the sonic alchemist from Mexico City, has transplanted her musical vision to the streets of Berlin, where she continues to shape a world of sound that defies categorization. Active as a producer, DJ, and curator since 2017, she stands at the crossroads of experimental electronics and club culture.
As the visionary force behind Voragine, a label that serves as a meeting point for artists working across experimental sound, and visual art, Viiaan’s work blurs the lines between the introspection and the physical. 
Her sound is a living organism: breaks, intricate percussions, ambient atmospheres,  left field bass,  and techno intertwine to form a sonic language that refuses containment. It's a symphony of diversity that refuses to be confined, and this refusal is the lifeblood of her artistic vision.
Her discography reads as a journey with releases on Woozy Dub (Dublin), Sumac (Berlin/Sydney), Causal Chain (Montreal), WVWV (CDMX), and her own imprint, Voragine. Each release reveals another facet of her evolving artistry. 
Beyond the studio, Viiaan curates two distinct sonic experiences: Raeve and Ambient 4 Babies, gatherings that dissolve the boundary between performer and listener, inviting audiences into immersive worlds of rhythm, reflection, and club culture.

The new project of GIMIC Radio: GIMIC Records
What started as GIMIC Radio – a platform dedicated to discovery and sonic experimentation – now takes a bold new step: the launch of GIMIC Records.
The label’s first statement comes in the form of an ambitious double-vinyl compilation, a sonic manifesto that defines the identity of GIMIC. Two sides, two energies:
Experimental & elektronica explorations: immersive textures, dense atmospheres, introspective soundscapes.

The compilation features around ten exclusive tracks by acclaimed and forward-thinking artists, including Hadone, Dangermami, NMSS, Trois-Quarts Taxi System, Zaatar, Canblaster, Darzack, and more. A selection that showcases both artistic credibility and a strong vision: plural, bold, and uncompromising.
With this release, GIMIC Records expands the voice of the radio, establishing itself as a forward-looking label – oscillating between introspection and euphoria, experimentation and collective energy.

PREORDER: https://virtualforestrecords.bandcamp.com/album/diplopia

French-based Virtual Forest Records delivers an intercontinental ode to its corner of the international underground with 'Diplopia', a 13-track compilation featuring collaborative contributions from pole to pole. With increasing synergy, France's psy-tipped fringes mirror that of Australia's, pushing a depth in sound and space that each country's raves and DIY festivals have become known for.

French producer RM Estali's collaboration with Naarm/Melbourne's LOIF, 'Cutting The Rind', is a perfect example of this synergy. Chunky snares lay the groundwork for a near conversational dubstep wobble, before it settles into full psy-breaks swing. 

Of the collaboration, RM Estali shared that "Declan (LOIF) came to play in Paris at Les Amarres last year, and finished his set with some nasty dnb tracks. When I found out we were gonna make a tune together, I was like, 'what don't we have a shot at making a track like that?'"

'Diplopia' releases on Wednesday, November 26 via Virtual Forest Records' Bandcamp.

trndmsk: How long did it take you to produce the album?

Luca Bacchetti: I could say 15 years, as stated on the liner notes of the album, but in actual fact it was recorded in 10 days and arranged and mixed in a month… since then so many things have happened and it’s now ready for release after a year and a half. (...)
