Feldbach - Elation [PNEUMA]

Following the launch of the Eyes series, Early Reflex welcomes back Ikävä Pii for “Eyes II”, the second entry in this exploratory two-tracker format. 

Possibly the darkest tracks Ikävä Pii has produced to date, ‘False Binaries Fight for Primacy’ and ‘Permaweird’ are two detailed and twisted club tunes, encapsulating the perennial state of frustrated urgency of our times. 
Uneasy feelings are conveyed in both tracks, and refracted through the artist’s signature playful approach.
False Binaries Fight for Primacy is driven by the eerie ambiguity of its major/minor harmony, and a relentless rhythmic section that nods to post-punk as much as the track’s distorted, shouty vocals. The unsettling main theme of Permaweird is hinged on an alteration of the Locrian mode (often deemed the “weirdest” mode), and its timbre, albeit recalling familiar patches from the Process Fatigue era, here paints a much darker picture. 
Topical and heartfelt, these tracks update Ikävä Pii’s sound with an uncanny mutation, material for a standout moment in a club set. Already secret weapons in Ikävä Pii’s live show for nearly a year, they’ve left heads spinning on dancefloors in UK, Europe and beyond, and now find their proper home on Early Reflex.

Ikävä Pii said:
“What’s the purpose of club music in a climate where alienation is the norm and outdated narratives are collapsing?
We live in the permaweird: reality gets increasingly absurd, and yet we adapt to it every day.
Nothing to fight for: digital vs physical, liberal left vs authoritarian right, old vs young - just false binaries. There must be another way. 
In the meantime, activate punk mode, shout in the mic, use stranger scales. 
The only real binary is rich vs non-rich (and that’s what clubs should be about).
Thanks Venkatesh Rao and David Rudnick for the inspiration.”

‘Eyes II’ is available on all platforms starting from Friday 2nd May 2025.

Mateo Hurtado - An Invisible Fire, Working In Secret 
Mercuri [VYS001 / vysyon]

Produced by Mateo Hurtado
Mastered by Pitchcraft Mastering Studio
Artwork by Jin Synth at Kolophonium Design Studio
Released by vysyon from London, UK
Release Date : June 02nd, 2025
Format - Vinyl and Digital

For their inaugural release, London-based Vysyon presents Mercuri: an enchanting EP of enigmatic techno featuring work by Swiss artists Varuna & Mateo Hurtado.

Having developed their brand of abyssal club music through releases on Amenthia Recordings & their own imprint A Walking Contradiction, Varuna dive into the void on ‘Remote Pulsar’. Driven by a disorientating polyrhythm cloaked in opaque atmospherics, the trio’s otherworldly approach to sound design is on full display. By contrast, the pounding 4/4 kick & propulsive acid bass of ‘Uvez Echos’ entrance the listener into a state of dancefloor reverie.

Mateo Hurtado casts his own unique magic over the flip, showcasing his archetypal mystic sound established via an album on Annulled music & remixes for Space Drum Meditation. The mesmerising flute melody of ‘An Invisible Fire, Working In Secret’ casts a spell of hypnosis, while the flowing, amorphous pads & twisted bass of ‘The Eternal Mirror’ conjure visions of worlds unknown.

Mateo Hurtado - An Invisible Fire, Working In Secret [vysyon]

Two foundational releases from Toronto's Strobe Records get a well-deserved reissue on the Clone Classic Cuts series, spotlighting a pivotal moment in North American dance music. While often overshadowed by the Detroit and New York scenes, Toronto's underground in the early '90s was brewing its own potent blend of house and techno - and these tracks are prime examples of that cross-border synergy.

The Hayden Andre Project's contributions sit at the perfect intersection of tribal house rhythms and the emotive, machine-driven pulse of early Detroit techno. There's a raw elegance here - a sense of deep groove layered with just the right amount of percussive tension. It's no surprise that these tracks became staples in the crates of DJs both then and now. The production feels timeless, with hypnotic arrangements that still command the floor over three decades later.

On the flip, Kingdom Come, another alias of Ron Allen, delivers lush, blissed-out house music that channels the soulful energy of New York's golden era while adding a uniquely Canadian sensibility. Allen's piano work, layered with warm pads and swinging drums, gives these tracks an unmistakable vibe - equal parts deep house ecstasy and garage swagger. It's the sound of 3 a.m. euphoria, of packed dance floors and emotional peaks.

This reissue not only shines a light on the underrated Toronto scene but also remind us just how global and interconnected house music was becoming in the early '90s. For both collectors and newcomers, these are essential cuts - testaments to a moment when boundaries between cities and styles were blurred in the name of dance.

Everything Liquid is a brand-new duo formed in LA. This is their first outing, and it speaks to a pair who have some serious studio chops. They have immediately cooked up a highly developed sound that showcases masterful drum programming, a range of organic and synthetic sound designs and great balance between dynamic grooves and musical synths that leave a lasting impression. 

The EP opens with 'No Signal' featuring Chicago's Jamaican-American singer-songwriter Jesse Boykins III who has previously featured alongside the likes of Hudson Mohawke, Tiga and Machinedrum. It's a thrilling broken beat cut with punchy rhythms oﬀset by the gorgeous falsetto vocals that bring smoky soul next to expressive synth lines and lush chords. The dub version is pared back to the kinetic beats and meticulous percussion for direct dancefloor action. 

The superb 'L A R P' is another masterfully programmed blend of warm, smeared chords and prickly broken beat patterns that sweep you oﬀ your feet and 'Time' then gets more deep and late night. Sultry spoken words bring a sense of intimacy to the organic grooves that rise and fall beneath lingering melancholic keys. Finally, 'Airbud' is an almost eight-minute synth symphony that takes you on a journey through widescreen worlds. Some pads flicker like a dodgy light build, some arc up in grandiose fashion and others twinkle like distant stars. It's a trippy place to get lost.

Released by Charybdis Records from Berlin, Germany

Mown crafts a foreboding sonic narrative that feels both ancient and futuristic, like a warning whispered through time. Pulsating patterns, immersive atmospheres and refined rhythms evoke a world on the brink of revelation - or ruin. It’s a gripping descent into the ritualistic core of electronic hypnotism, where every sound feels like a sign.

Ishan Mukherjee - Cortal
Glass [SC005 / Safar Collective]

Produced by Ishan Mukherjee
Mastered by Ishan Gaur
Artwork by Ishan Gaur
Released by Safar Collective from Indore, India
Release Date: August 19th, 2025

Glass, the new EP by Ishan Mukherjee, is a tribute to creative freedom and an intentional break from structure and rhythm. Letting go of beats and predictable patterns, Ishan dives deep into a world of meditative soundscapes that blur genre lines and focus on feeling over form. The EP was born during his time in Goa, where he travelled light with a portable analog setup, Korg Volca Keys, Artiphon Orba, an acoustic guitar, all patched into a Zoom H5 recorder. Improvisation was at the heart of the process. Without a DAW or metronome to guide him, Ishan captured raw, spontaneous ideas in real time.

Goa itself seeped into the music. Field recordings of monsoon rains, quiet forest walks, and hushed conversations became part of the sonic fabric, making the landscape an unseen collaborator. When Ishan returned to his studio in Hyderabad, those sessions began to evolve. The studio turned into a space of playful experimentation as sounds were stretched, reversed, granulated and the line between music and memory started to blur. Ishan describes the EP as “a map of contradictions… like watching the ocean swallow a storm.”

The EP finds its home at Safar Collective, a label that encourages self-expression through experimentation. The partnership reflects the spirit of the project as Safar’s boundary-pushing ethos fits perfectly with Ishan’s vision of a borderless, exploratory sound. Together, they invite listeners to experience ambient music in a new way: as a journey with no fixed destination.

Glass, out August 19th, marks a new chapter for Ishan. Moving away from his earlier rhythm-heavy collaborations, this EP leans into vulnerability, introspection, and the beauty of imperfection. It’s both a reflection and a departure, and an honest step into the unknown.
