Following a remix on Kynant in 2018, IORI returns with the kaleidoscopic ‘Andromeda’, phasing DJ ammo in ‘Transit’ and ultra-deep sonics in ‘Under The Water’. Fellow Tokyo-based artist Wata Igarashi delivers a remix in his unique, mind-bending style.

Available on 12” vinyl and digital from May 14, 2021.

Digital Justice - Theme From It's All Gone Pear Shaped (Decoder Edit)

DVS1 returns to his imprint HUSH with his unique sonic palette of beats and rhythms. 

Following a 2020 long-player debut, "Beta Sensory Motor Rhythm" on Jeff Mills' Axis Records, HUSH 06 features DVS1's trademark sound with his interplay of elements rising and falling, fluid percussions seamlessly weaving in and out of the arrangements, highlighting an ever-shifting emphasis that draws its energy from minimalistic features. 

HUSH 06 delivers stripped-down and slow-building tracks with remarkable clarity, easily imagined to be played on massive sound systems.

Deep, trippy and hypnotic. That pretty much sums up the new Nacreous-EP by Shoal on the Dutch imprint NOWHERE. The title refers to a certain glow or color that mother-of-pearl radiates. Shoal is the alter ego of Utrecht-resident Kenny Dean Kneefel. When you have a name that sounds like a famous stuntman, you are probably prepared to take more risks.

And indeed that's exactly what this producer from the lowlands does on Nacreous. Shoal's four track EP combines hallucinant grooves with delicate sound design. Like on Bygone Drums, where ominous distant sounds from a nearby factory creep between the shadows. The same can be said of the title track, a tribalistic tune with a delicate dark undertone.

Never Endings is more uplifting, with its dubbed out basslines and crispy hi-hats. Dubtechno that reminds us of both Monolake and Fluxion. Closing track Morning Float is indeed that, a trip in a blue tank filled with warm water, where you are comforted by beautiful strings and sounds of nature.

exclusive | Ballan - Different Shapes | SUNNY

Ballan’s arrival on Alec Falconer’s SUNNY imprint feels less like a feature and more like a quiet inevitability. As the A1 of Different Shapes / Eurocup Mess, “Different Shapes” unfolds with the assurance of an artist fluent in motion - someone who understands that groove is not merely built, but guided.

The track opens on fractured, break-led rhythms that scatter light across the floor before gradually gathering weight. As the drums settle, a full-bodied house bassline emerges - warm, insistent, and deeply physical - grounding the track in a steady forward pull. A looping synth figure anchors the track with quiet insistence, as ripped vocal snippets and scratchy gestures surface briefly, adding depth instead of noise.

What elevates “Different Shapes” beyond pure function is its sense of contrast. In the break, soft pads stretch out into space, briefly dissolving the track’s rigidity into something more fluid and contemplative. There’s a distinct UKG inflection here - not overt, but felt in the swing and phrasing - before the groove reforms and presses on with renewed clarity.

True to Ballan’s wider catalogue, the track resists tidy categorisation. Techhouse's rawness, Garage’s elasticity, and House’s emotional core are not stacked, but interwoven, creating a piece that feels alive rather than assembled. It’s playful without irony, powerful without excess.

As a continuation of SUNNY’s trajectory following Phill Prince’s “Playground Pleasure”, “Different Shapes” affirms the label’s commitment to club music that values character as much as impact. This is dancefloor architecture drawn in motion - shifting, elegant, and designed to endure long after the lights come up.
