Fresh into a mid-pandemic summer of heartbreak and descending chaos, Ardalan and Nala each grappled with the frustrations of a love lost and the exhaustion tied to managing the insatiable insecurities of past lovers and friends.

Habits Die Hard represents a release for both artists as Nala shouts 'Oh, you're not perfect? Well, welcome to the party!' A chant designed to reclaim her own power after enduring the pain caused by hurt people who hurt people.

Inspired by their love for rock and dance music, Habits Die Hard is an ode to the indie sleaze aughts where artists like the Yeah Yeah Yeahs and Soulwax reigned supreme. Ardalan shines with a new flavor of rough and rugged sound design motivated by their joint love for punk rock.

Squirrels On Acid

Theus Mago last took listeners on a nocturnal ride with his Terremoto Valley Express, and now the Mexican producer is back-this time teaming up with close friend and regular studio partner Dominik Marz for their new 'Bajo Bajo' EP.

Having already made waves with releases on Dusky's 17 Steps and Theus' own Duro label, the duo maintain their pace by cooking up some 'Instant Dog.' A track packed with bounding toms, a hypnotic melody, fierce 909s, and a relentless build that makes it impossible to ignore.

More acid licks on the flip with the title track, 'Bajo Bajo.' The original's bubbling rhythm gives way to the heads-down energy of Ketiov's remix, as he ditches the disco for a piano-pierced thumping house groove.

Brooklyn house music veteran Kyle Louis returns to Working Rhythms with the lush 2-tracker ‘You’re So (Cool) / Move,’ his first solo release since 2023 that follows his recent collab single “Distant Shores” with D.D. Curry and Panooc. The A-side is a laid back but ultra funky vibe-setter, driven by a chugging synth bass line, fun slappy drums, and a cheeky vocal sample. On the flip is “Move” that features Kyle’s own shimmering, FX-laden piano hook over a classic jackin’ groove, a filter house-influenced roller that recalls sounds of the Crydamoure label.

Louis is no stranger to crafting crowd-inspiring tracks and irresistible edits, having cut his teeth as co-founder and resident of NYC’s now-defunct party Little Disco, an event series that featured top names in the scene and made waves in the city’s underground during the mid twenty-teens. With this release, the producer kicks off an exciting run of solo releases for 2025!

DJ Support: Jamie Jones, Crackazat, Luke Solomon, Kléo, SYREETA, Oliver $, Riva Starr, Wade Teo, Mr. Redley

INFO: There’s no stopping Theus Mago right now. Mexican cosmic groove wizard, Duro bossman all-round G; Mago continues to lay down gold after gold after gold. Hot on the heels of his Correspondant outing comes this deep hypno session on Pets. 
‘Baqa’ takes the lead, hurling us into some deep trance manoeuvres with its voodoo style chant and hunch-backed creepy chord progression. Total drama, done with class; there’s a lot of fun to be had with a track like this. ‘Jingo’ follows suit with another narrative-like atmosphere. Powered with a deep drive, laced with a little electro charm and armed with an elevated twist onto a whole other melodic plane just when you least expect it, this one’s so detailed you’ll find it hard to mix out of. 
Finally we have the brilliantly-titled ‘Rave Dave’. Thundering drums, rising chords, creepy FX and a momentum that locks you in like it’s 1991 all over again, an industrial strength EP deserves an industrial strength finale. Everyone knows a rave Dave – the type of soldier who could dance all weekend and still be fresh for a Monday – well these are the sounds that loop in his mind. Now they’ll loop in yours.

INFO:
It’s 2020, the dusty Pets plain spreads out before you. Nothing but sand, cactus plants and a bottle of good old red eye are all you have for company. Then you hear the shots. They’re fired with such flare they can only be from one man… Renato Cohen AKA the ‘Lone Ranger’
He fires in such a way you can’t help but move your feet. Then you move your hips. Then your head. Then your heart. You’re in funky town now and Renato’s the mayor. He leads with the disco bubbles and slinky restrained funk of ‘Lone Ranger’ before moving on to the heavier weaponry; the cowbell riddled, hoover-rattled stomper ‘Deocleciana’ and the bassline-plunging, deep funk hustling swagger of ‘Bismuth’.
And it seems our lonesome techno patrolman isn’t working alone… ‘Bismuth’ is also backed by an incredible remix from Jennifer Cardini. Ramping up the energy with a precision arpeggio bassline and injecting an entirely different sense of uplift with a lavish synth melody, it shoots from the hip in the most euphoric of ways.
