Joe Koshin makes his debut on Buried Records with his new EP ‘Inside’. Originally from Yorkshire, Joe’s introduction to dance music was forged in the North-east’s lively dance scene. This is where the sounds of Dubstep and Drum & Bass first piqued his interest in Electronic music. Currently based in London, he has developed his style in the renowned dance culture of the capital, elements of Breakbeat, Electro and Garage began to feature more prominently in his musical output. Rinse FM, Balamii, Planetaria Soundsystem, Childsplay and 199 have supported Koshin’s recent releases.
With all three tracks from the album being made during the pandemic, eerie tones can be heard throughout the EP reflecting the struggles we have all faced recently. Joe explains ‘I got myself into a pretty deep creative rut, and my output was at a real low'. With this lack of motivation, he struggled to make time for music and even considered throwing in the towel.
Our pick falls on the final track ‘There’s Nothing’ which pays homage to the Brazilian music Joe discovered during the lockdown. Clever sampling fuses cultural influence with his fierce sound seamlessly and is the hidden gem within this release.

Eagerly awaited yet patiently bubbling under the surface, UwU dust bath emerges with its primal offering, a deeply generous and authentic sonic array from lowkey prolifics Purelink. Despite the
Chicago trio’s humbly mysterious presence, the transcendental music speaks resoundingly.

The most unforeseen plot twist comes via xphresh (Special Guest DJ & Ben Bondy), causing Rihanna’s notoriously iconic vocals to drip like honey, seeping into the fuzzed post-dancehall daydream; a sunkissed celebration.

"They entered the structure at dusk, barely able to comprehend its magnitude in the dim red twilight of the setting Agamid sun. Extrasensory hallucinations, infinitely folded spaces and quantum impossibilities had quickly separated Reppi T. Lizrd from the Gecko Force. Now his air supply was dwindling, and his limbs were numb from wandering endless corridors and strangely illuminated hallways, yet his determination to reach the centre of the palace only grew. The one-eyed tyrant was waiting."

Hailing from the land down under and currently taking the northern hemisphere by storm, @reptant_the_lizard joins forces with TRUST for his 'Halls Of Perception' EP - five tracks of blistering electro bass, percussive beat workouts, and bleepy moments of transcendent bliss.

RDS plumbs the depths of analogue texture on his Kalahari debut proper. Following a guest appearance on Eversines’ ‘Plooi’ EP, the Amsterdam artist returns to explore the more expansive integers of his hi-tech sound across four deftly crafted tracks.It's exactly the sort of enveloping, sophisticated material we’ve come to expect from a De Lichting member.

Straight deep space manoeuvres on the opener. Setting billowing widescreen pads against solid, tight groove, ‘2312’ feels as if it’s escaping the eye of some turbulent solar event. Then, landing with a sensitivity absent from the harsh climes of its predecessor, ‘BBsuite’ leaps from translunar to tenderness with dappled keys and lithe breakbeat intricacy. Saying that, there’s still something undeniably explorative and sc-fi in its mood, almost reminiscent of Orbital or Future Sound of London.

There’s more refined deepness on the flip, starting with ‘Silky’s supple, slinky flex. Forlorn, exquisitely widescreen ambient techno, it treads between the warm optimism of early Detroit modes and a certain somber melancholia. And finally, ‘Autechrein’ finds RDS smudging his palette on a dusty, downtempo overhaul of the after-hours formula.

New INDEX:Records transmission comes courtesy of Texan vibist Gi Gi. Trodding his own path of introspective, nu-age-infused ambient scapes and trip-hop-laced downtempo divagations, Gi Gi eases us in a distinctively soothing headspace. A self-driven, immersive audio bubble engineering a polychromatic mix of organic field-recording, exotic dub shades, lushly textured envelopes and smooth loungey jazz accents.

“Pyxis Glint” shows off an ambiguously feverish ASMR-like temper with its tightly woven web of chimey Andean melody and straight out Rephlex-fashioned escapism.

The second release on Lapse records welcomes UK Tech House mainstay Len Lewis, who’s extensive catalogue of club music stretches across the last few decades, along with newly appraised London based DJ and producer Mariiin. The split EP supports a four track selection of old and new head down club music touching different moods.

The B side spans a more contemporary 4x4 influenced thread of this style that circles closer to the outer rims of techno and acid. The Italian born producer joins the label with the “Snake Is Changing It’s Skin” and “Impasse” which continue fittingly to carve their signature sound, a style consistent in their early releases on the likes of BPR and EYA Records and across their DJ sets as Pleasure Club resident.

Dreams, an artist known for his label & event series Private Selection, is set to release his first record since 2020 on a new label he founded this year, called Dance Data. 

The B side, 'Vessel', marks one of his first releases at this velocity - each groove feels hypnotic and gives weight into the next moment. A blistering saw bassline tightly sits on top of live recordings of brazilian percussion – and the dark and tribal energy fits the A-side as a perfectly paired, yet still unanticipated counterpart. As his first offering since a 2020 hiatus, it is refreshing to see Dreams pulling from his roots with 'Paraxotica' while also coming in with a more organic approach as is heard on 'Vessel'.

Pre-orders for the 12" vinyl are available now, which come with a custom hand made insert.
Vinyl release date: Feb 2023

The A side can be heard in full on Dance Data's bandcamp
