Funny Song

Spectrum once again spotlights exciting talent, proudly welcoming German rising star KAUFMANN to the label with her electrifying double release, 'John Otto' / 'Bald Ponytail'.
 
Renowned for her high-energy DJ sets, KAUFMANN has impressively translated that intensity into her productions. With her own blend of thumping kicks and gnarly synths, she has already caught the attention of techno heavyweight Oliver Huntemann who has championed her work with releases on his Senso Sounds imprint.
 
'John Otto' sets the tone on her Spectrum debut, inspired by the raw, unrelenting energy of the legendary nu-metal drummer. With punchy beats, psy-trance-inspired synth stabs, and a groovy bassline, the track delivers a euphoric punch that's primed for peak-time floors.
 
On the flip, 'Bald Ponytail' locks listeners into a hypnotic groove with its call-and-response interplay of rattling bass stabs and siren-like vocal chops. Add in wild synth one-shots, intricate drum fills, and an explosive final drop, and you've got a track destined to send dancefloors into overdrive.
 
No limp bizkits here, just two sure shots for maximum dancefloor impact.

Tifra steps up to the frontline with his new EP 'Terra Incognita’ - a primitive force to be reckoned with that reveres the hypnotising, ominous unknown. Four investigational tracks unify the checkpoints, wandering through themes of 90s/00s house, prog, and continuous, undulating grooves, featuring a masterful remix by the one and only Admo.

Take the risk, break the divide and find out what lies beyond the veil. Otherwise, make your own guesses, and then let them guess who you are.

What lies on the terrain for which no map exists? Tifra has volunteered to take the plunge and find out. For the 28th record on Haŵs, the Dutch DJ/producer steps up to the frontline with ‘Terra Incognita’ – a primitive force to be reckoned with that reveres the hypnotising, ominous unknown. Four investigational tracks unify the checkpoints, wandering through themes of 00s/90s leftfield house, prog, and continuous, undulating grooves. The EP sets sail with ‘Invoke Hysteria’, scavenging through malevolent, hostile waters and a caution of pad synths, drums and agitated melodies.

Relenting onwards, ‘Serpent’ slinks into a mellow respite, moving slowly and deliberately like a snake in the moonless dark. Deep, resonant synths coil around the percussive heartbeat of the track, weaving together velvet layers of bass, wind instruments and steady, surrendering exhalations of breath.

The titular ‘Terra Incognita’ hoists up the anchor and yields to the trance of the summoning liquid night. Repetitive melodies form the contours of its shifting course, moulding a ritualistic rhythm under the dissolving face of the sky. 

Admo steps up to the wheel for the remix, smoking out the initial perfume of the atmospherics into a new, tough brutality. Hauling the track out of its initial spacey orbit, he re-embellishes it with dour synths, drums and a primal, subterranean growl.

Some say that there is no worse poverty than that of connection, so why not be the first to take the risk, break the divide and find out what lies beyond the veil? Otherwise, make your own guesses, and then let them guess who you are.

So happy to share the next vinyl release on Neptune Discs; this time with four heaters that take the sound even further. After the huge response to last summer’s debut vinyl, we return the va series with more prog 90s00s flavours from rising talents around planet earth: Jeku, Tifra, DJ Life, B From E.Jeku’s opener sets the tone with its downtempo allure, featuring alien vocal chops and twisting acid lines that feel like transmissions from another world. A slow descent into the unknown, where rich textures and drifting melodies blur past and future. Following his standout release on Harmony Rec, Jeku continues to push boundaries with his unique, hypnotic sound.

Tifra’s track on B2 catapults us into a high-energy, club-driven reality. The relentless bassline powers forward, while otherworldly synths inject a sense of urgency that sharply contrasts with the opener’s reflective mood. Quickly becoming one of the staple names of the progressive scene, Tifra’s sound continues to evolve with undeniable force.

DJ Life kicks off the B-side with his signature blend of playful, club-ready cuts that effortlessly command the dance floor. Trance elements weave through the mix like echoes from another dimension. With releases on respected labels like Craigie Knowes, Dansu Discs, and Gestalt Records, DJ Life brings a fresh energy that’s both nostalgic and forward-thinking.

B From E closes the EP with a progressive acid track that feels like the culmination of everything before it. The 303s twist and spiral, while the bassline pushes forward with intensity, pulling us toward an unknown destination. Known for his versatility, B From E brings a unique energy to every track, his second outing on Neptune Discs.

Tifra - Liquid Sinner

Bubbling Belgian talent Session 4000 delivers his first solo EP for OTG. He crosses over styles and moods with his usual wizardry, creating a hypnotic and powerful sound. 

OTG005 - B1. Once Again (horst inspi mix)

OTG005 - A1. Fatal

OTG005 - B2. Rubber

OTG005 - A2. Theory

From the shadowed dancefloors of Amsterdam comes mayo, the goth house queen, twisting her sound into something darker and funkier. Stripping it down, a minimalist machine of tension and release — basslines snapping, original vocals echoing into percussive shapes, and synths bending into warp zones.  
It’s electronic funk at its most skeletal and seductive: lean, twisted grooves that hypnotize as much as they bombard your soul. 

Equal parts underground ritual and late-night seduction, the tracks carve out a soundscape where house collapses into post-punk swagger, and funk mutates into something cold, magnetic, and utterly addictive.
