With CNC, Concussion introduces a platform dedicated exclusively to his own music—free from limitations and open to boundless creativity. The label stands for high-quality, refined, and hypnotic music, without adhering to a fixed style in the traditional sense. Instead, CNC showcases Concussion's evolving musical journey, inviting listeners to embark on a sonic expedition—starting with “Lampak”.

The “Lampak” EP features four meticulously crafted tracks that capture the emotional peaks of a DJ set. Moving away from conventional loop arrangements, each track takes the listener on an immersive and emotional journey. Unique vocals, innovative sound design, and striking synth patterns make these tracks stand out, adding a distinct touch to any set. Influences from Concussion's earlier releases are still present, seamlessly woven into his evolving sound.
“Lampak” will be available in both digital and vinyl formats, marking the beginning of a label that doesn’t follow trends but fulfills a personal vision.

Portuguese techno mainstay Dextro drops cultured EP ‘Covil Dos Abutres’ for his label debut on Mutual Rytm.

Dextro has been immersed in electronic music and DJing since the early 90s. In the decades since, he has become synonymous with a sound deeply rooted in simplicity and authenticity. Fuelled by a passion for his craft, his production process is guided by intuition and spans a diverse range of styles, from tunnelling grooves to more potent techno with deep and hypnotic layers. He has held several key residencies and released on top labels like CLR and Missile Records, and he adds to those with a first outing on SHDW’s Mutual Rytm with ‘Covil Dos Abutres’.

The five-track 12” and eight-track digital EP has a sleek, stripped-back style, with wide-spanning corners of the techno realm explored. ‘Covil Dos Abutres’ is a deep space transmission with journeying, frictionless beats and deft sci-fi motifs that recall classic touches synonymous with the genre’s pioneers. ‘Correct Incorrect’ keeps the pressure on with more rubbery, dubbed-out groves beautifully decorated with delicate melodies. ‘Vida E Morte’ is another sublime and hypotonic minimal techno sound with funk in the kicks and a freaky late-night spirit. ‘Element One’ again combines perfectly reduced drum groves with atmospheric pads and curious samples that keep you intrigued, and 'Beautiful Day' closes out with sonar-like synth pulses over the most skeletal but captivating rhythms.

Digital cuts 'Time Line’, ‘Savana Urbana’, and ‘Diferenças’ further explore the intersection of minimalism with cosmic synth designs that take you off into distant astral worlds.

Dextro ‘Covil Dos Abutres’ lands on Mutual Rytm on 4th April 2025.

"Hustle & Post" :

Welcome to the never-ending hustle of social media. It's a constant race – a sprint, really – where every post, every track, and every photo is a chance to grab a slice of attention in a feed that never stops. It's all about getting noticed, securing those likes, and being “seen. ”
The game is simple: post, engage, repeat. But behind the hustle, there’s that sneaking question you can’t quite shake: Is this really what you signed up for?

Behind every post, there’s a strategy. That carefully chosen angle, the perfectly timed caption, and the playlist that screams ‘I’m the vibe you need.

Everything is curated, sculpted to stand out in a world where authenticity often feels like a glitch in the system. Once you've got your content ready, it’s time to hit ‘send’ and watch it get swallowed by the endless scroll. It’s an ongoing hustle where everything feels like a product, and every post becomes just another thing to be consumed – liked, shared, reposted, then forgotten as quickly as it appeared.

It’s funny, though – social media isn’t just about showing who you are; it’s about showing who you want to be. Behind every late-night studio session, every track you make, there’s a part of you hoping it’ll cut through the noise. But the balance is tricky. Once you post it, it’s a gamble. Will the algorithm favor it? Will people even notice? It’s a strange mix of real and manufactured, where the hustle is palpable and the grind never stops. But does it even matter if you’re having fun, or is it just about the likes? After all, the goal is clear: more views, more followers, more hype – but what happens when the validation becomes the reward?

And here’s the kicker: as you keep hustling, posting, and scrolling, you start to wonder: How long can you keep this up? You’re not just playing for the likes anymore – you’re playing to keep up with the game itself. So ask yourself – after all the hashtags, all the shares, all the posts, is this really the game you want to play? 
And, if you’re being honest, is it even possible to hit ‘pause’ when everyone else is stuck on ‘go’?.

DJ SUN - Hustle & Post EP - OTIUM003 (Snippets)

DJ SUN is a Swiss-born, Berlin-based DJ who came up through the illegal rave scene. He soon moved on to throwing his own illicit
parties and honed his DJ skills, playing techno infused with everything from house to hip-hop and jazz. He heads up the Otium label in
collaboration with his best friend Rødig, and this new EP has a thought-provoking theme. In a world where every post, track, and photo is a strategic move for attention, ‘Hustle & Post’ oﬀers a satirical look at the relentless digital grind. Social media is a never-ending race for likes and validation, a game of curated moments that often leaves us questioning: is this really what we signed up for? This EP invites you to dive into the chaos, join the hustle, and decide for yourself if the endless scroll is worth the price of authenticity. There is a subtle menace to the lithe bass and eerie, wordless vocal sounds of opener 'Do It For the Gram' which shines a harsh light on the social media frenzy that dictates nearly every aspect of our lives—right down to which tracks get played and how each DJ set is filmed. 'Heatwave Hustler' keeps the hard-edged grooves coming and is all about that feverish rush hitting the dancefloor at its
boiling point. 'Highway Rituals' then reflects the excitement and tension of these clandestine raves under highway overpasses, tucked away in remote spots where the line between freedom and illegality is razor-thin. It's a textured techno workout wired up with fizzing modulations and built on heavy drums. The atmospheric 'Layers of Emptiness' cuts straight to the core of a modern techno scene fixated on quantity over quality. It has broody bass billowing below the deft percussion and quick, dubby drums that make you move. The last original, 'Plugged & Ready, ' captures that slow-motion moment before stepping into the DJ booth when the roar of the room fades to a low hum, and you lock onto the crowd’s energy. It's packed with fresh sound designs and plenty of percussive nuance. Klint is the first to remix and flips 'Highway Rituals' into well swung and quick-stepping techno cut with warped bass, Rødig's remix of 'Plugged & Ready' adds weight to the slamming kicks and packs out the mix with alien sound eﬀects, and Toobris takes 'Layers Of
Emptiness' into speedy, soulful and hypnotic techno territory.

DJ Sun's 'Hustle & Post' comes on Otium District on April 14th/28th 2025.

Do It For The Gram

Premiere: DJ SUN — Do It For The Gram [OTIUM003]

Beau Didier - Propaganda (HUJUS Remix)

Support here: https://laburnum-records.bandcamp.com/album/lights-ep-lbrnm37

HUJUS is back on LABURNŪM with an EP full of tribalistic rhythms, granular textures, and obscure vocals. We are ecstatic to have him back on the label as he has been making waves in the scene with his secret sauce of heavily danceable syncopated drums, infusing tribal techno with modern sound design and a no-nonsense, club-ready, approach.

On the B Side of the dubplate, two heavy weights of the groove scene are taking on the remix duty: Frenzy's Isaiah contributes a stripped down version of "Lights" while Danny Wabbit delivers a hypnotic rework of "Butyric Acid". Enjoy.

DS Premiere: HUJUS - Butyric Acid (Danny Wabbit Remix) [LBRNM37]

Highway Rituals reflects the excitement and tension of these clandestine raves under highway overpasses, tucked away in remote spots where the line between freedom and illegality is razor-thin.

Every beat, every kick drum reverberates against the concrete, as the night stretches on in a haze of adrenaline. You feel the pressure build when glances are exchanged, phones buzz with the exact coordinates, and everyone keeps an eye out for headlights that might signal the cops. It’s a ritual, a call to defiance, where each fleeting moment could tip the balance. Yet, amid the pounding sound and dust swirling around the dancers, there’s a sense of unity, as if the music itself becomes a shield against the world outside.

In Highway Rituals, every pulse captures this duality: the absolute freedom of an illicit rave and the constant threat of a Damocles sword hanging overhead. Can you feel the pressure ?
