Every day this month, for three minutes before midnight, some of the giant electronic billboards in Times Square flicker violently in rectangular sequences of black and white. This is not a glitch. It's test pattern [times square], an electronic piece by Paris-based Japanese artist Ryoji Ikeda, reworked for 47 screens across five blocks of one of the most iconic and irritating places in the world. This is the soundtrack that was played on October 16 as part of the installation.

Early Reflex continues its Eyes series with a powerful return from Brooklyn-based producer
Sobolik, whose distinctive and emotionally resonant club music first landed on the imprint with
Opening track “Sandbox” is a hypnotic roller driven by a constant mantric bass and led by
ethereal, airy synths. The piece flows with emotional clarity, balancing softness and propulsion in
equal measure—an entrancing meditation through rhythm and texture.
On the flip, “Turning Back” explores a darker, more angular energy. Grime-inflected and
basslines. The track moves with restrained intensity, echoing internal shifts and the slow
untangling of anxious loops.
With Eyes III, Sobolik expands on their singular voice within experimental club music, continuing
Early Reflex’s commitment to foregrounding emotionally charged, forward-thinking sonic work.

‘Eyes III’ is available on all platforms starting from Friday 1st August 2025.

London-based Indian producer Noni-Mouse debuts on Early Reflex with Eyes IV, the latest installment in the label’s Eyes two-tracker series. Following a series of acclaimed genre-fluid releases, Noni-Mouse arrives on the label with her heaviest record yet: a pair of raw, shadowy club cuts that double down on percussive pressure and weighty basslines.With a background that spans 2-step, hardcore, and experimental club music, Noni-Mouse has become known for her sticky top lines, restless rhythmic sense, and tactile grooves. On Eyes IV, she dives into a darker, more physical register—retaining her unmistakable bounce while testing the limits of a more abrasive, stripped-back sound.Opening track “Bracket” lays down lurching breakbeat mechanics and squashed bass beneath flickers of manipulated vocal and synth debris—skipping along the edge of chaos with precision and swing. “Model” stretches out the mood with tense pacing and syncopated drum work, where melodic fragments smear across a pulsing low-end and flickering hi-hats, creating a hypnotic pull built for strobe-lit floors.Eyes IV is a statement of intent from one of the most forward-thinking voices in the contemporary underground—a sharp-edged, club-ready exploration of rhythm and tone from an artist who continues to surprise.

Noni-Mouse said: "With this release, I was attempting to test this ‘gritty, percussive’ sound that is currently heard across clubs and festivals, by crafting those grooves with breaks, while preserving that signature 'bounce'. The textural melodies are my favourite, as they end up adding another layer of percussion to the arrangement, creating this compelling groove that hits the spot"‘Eyes IV’ is available on all platforms starting from Friday 12th September 2025.

Baltimore-born, Brooklyn-based, BIG J herself -- JIALING (@pbnstrawberryjam) joins forces with Sorry Records for a floorshaking 4-track exploration of everything from big room latin hard house to queer vocal slammers, and plenty of breaks and bass in between.

I met Jialing on New Years Eve Eve 2021 at Bossa here in Brooklyn. It was like 2am on a Thursday night, mid-way through "Breaks in America" - our first ever dedicated breaks night with our friend SWAP MEET! and Kindergarten Records/Sorry favorite Drummy b2b myself. I've got a distinct memory of Jialing introducing herself and saying "I came because you said breaks! I love breaks!" I remember being struck by her unpretentious enthusiasm (especially considering she was still based in Baltimore back then and was routinely making the trek to NYC for local club nights like ours).

Since that night, JIALING's been a wonderfully ever present figure on the NYC dancefloor and in our lives. Named one of “The Top 25 Producers Who Defined the Year 2024” by Mixmag, she's done incredible work via self-releases in addition to stellar recent releases on Local Action's Clasico Records (FREAKY HORNS, WHISTLE TIP with Farsight, and this WTCHCRFT + Sister Zo featuring remix record), Gallegos' Room Service imprint, and the new gen Baltimore club label WOE she runs alongside Kade Young. She’s remixed folks like Seimei (on Sorry!), Honey B, and nextdimensional — as well as played clubs like Nowadays, Marble Bar, Public Records, Good Room, Paragon, Dalston Superstore, Venue M.O.T., Mansions, and beyond.

J literally lives two blocks down the street from me and I'm so happy to finally do a proper Sorry Records release with her here. WUPS! is the sound of JIALING at her most immediate, playing with some major source material from the last forty odd years of dance music history; touching on sounds from the Paradise Garage to the Loft (“Don’t Go Lose It Baby”) Frankie Knuckles at The Warehouse (“Let No Man Put Asunder”), and Junior Vasquez’s Arena at the Palladium (“Cunty”).

Another certified Sorry Records Big Room Trojan Horse release, WUPS! finds JIALING at the height of her power and has already been tearing up dancefloors like The Carry Nation & WRECKED’s massive Get Wrecked & Carry Pride party this June.

WUPS! also features original artwork by our friend SWAP MEET! and masters by Danny Goliger (3024, Magic City, Scuffed Recordings).

'Scorpio Falling' is the forthcoming album by Kelman Duran, out on 12th September.

One Million Haitians and Africans - Kelman Duran

Haunting yet grounded, Ashes to Matter unspools like a ritual in bass pressure. SIM crafts a slow-burning, low-end sculpture where distorted textures flicker beneath spacious delays. Industrial ambient meets soundsystem alchemy; this one isn’t built for the peak time, it’s for the reckoning after. The air between kicks is thick with memory, echoing something ancient in modern decay.

On Whipback, SIM flips the tempo with razor-sharp flair — a jagged, serpentine rhythm that snaps back with unsettling precision. Think bashment fed through a wormhole, landing somewhere between futuristic club workouts and warehouse hypnosis. The mix is raw, dynamic, and delightfully wrong-footing. You won’t know whether to wine or brace for impact — either way, resistance is futile.

Listen to "SideQuest Nap (Maoupa Mazzocchetti Remix)" by Meli Mena taken from "POLYT001 "COUGH TWICE IF YOU CARE" fa:act / Meli Mena" out on August 29th via Polytope

Pre-order: https://polytopebxl.bandcamp.com/album/polyt001-cough-twice-if-you-care-fa-act-meli-mena

"Our first Polytope EP welcomes two wonder kids from the European bass music scene: the Brussels-based fa:act and Meli Mena from Paris. They have worked hard to deliver you a 6-track, club-ready opus, with a special collaboration and a remix by Maoupa Mazzochetti.

"COUGH TWICE IF YOU CARE" explores the depths of the hardcore continuum with a special twist from these two talented artists:

fa:act created two dancehall-inspired bangers with his iconic touch: "Wizard Bubble" and "Breeze and Riddim".

Meli Mena has produced two high-energy club gems with break influences and IDM resonances: "Hot Girls Get Sad" and "SideQuest Nap."

They both released the already famous 140 bpm club anthem "Dust Drip," which has destroyed many dancefloors all over the world.

All these tracks got the Maoupa Mazzocchetti special analog treatment; he also gifted us with a strong remix of "SideQuest Nap" from our dear Meli Mena."

with kuopio, we release the second full length album by vladislav delay aka sasu ripatti. the record features eight new songs which allow the listener to dive into delay’s cosmos of deep and likewise organic sounds. subtle yet complex electronic manipulations are used, resulting in a high degree of variation within every single track and a nearly imperceptible intensification of their density.

progressive and energetic rhythms play an important role as already indicated in his recent release espoo (r-n141), the EP which forms a bridge between his former album vantaa (r-n136) and kuopio, best illustrated by the track “kulkee”, meaning “to move forward”.

kuopio clearly represents a further attempt to depict the finnish landscape as well as its isolated charm, which is also obvious from its design and conceptional approach by referring to the city of kuopio.

with RV8, the osaka-based producer and musician AOKI takamasa continues his long- term project that focuses on the modulation of rhythms and grooves. it began with his first ep ‚rhythm variations‘ in 2009, released as part three of the unun-series. besides his collaboration with raster-noton, he released records on several labels like commmons, progressive form and op.disc, produced remixes for well-known musicians like ryuichi sakamoto or yoshihiro hanno and played performances at, for example, elektra/montreal and club transmediale/ berlin, all in all making him a renowned producer in japan and beyond.

starting with a firework of bleeps and bops, already the very first minutes of his new record reveal aoki‘s preference for vibrating beats and likewise his playful approach to music, generating a sound that is aiming at the dance floor.

like the first ones, almost all tracks of the record are characterized by a constant modulation of chords and lines that sometimes appears somehow hyperactive, but nevertheless results in a natural flow that perfectly reflects AOKI‘s laid-back attitude combined with his will to produce danceable and funky music.

the fluent arrangement is only interrupted by the third track which forms a caesura by being more reduced and slower. in contrast to this, the following tracks present a faster tempo and an increased intensity; and whereas the first tracks reflect downbeat and r‘n‘b influences due to their broken beats and chunky sound, the later songs are characterized by a more sleek and technoid style, incorporating dribbling basses, clappy sounding snares and modulated voice snippets.

although all of the musical components are constantly broken down, modulated, and rearranged, the overall sound of the record is dense and compact, featuring a groove made up of numerous elements that are complexly intertwined. the eight tracks of the record fit seamlessly together and create a composition that nearly functions like a dj set.

the album was mastered by yoshinori sunahara. needless to say that RV8 will be released as cd and lp.
