@awo_ojiji debuts on Control Freak for the long awaited return of our White Label series with his ‘Solidify EP’ - four percussive, wonky & propulsive club cuts, complete with a remix from label heads Customer Service & Finnaman.

Based out of Graz, Austria, Awo Ojiji has been quietly carving out his own lane in the leftfield techno & bass music world. Distinct, detailed and fundamentally genre-fluid, his oddball productions cross a range of stylistic influences and tempos, purpose built for the explorative DJ.

Early support on this one from Laksa, re:ni, Gramrcy & more - very limited pressing of just 300 hand-stamped records - don’t miss your chance to grab one.

Slaloming between stations since early 2022, @tra_verse is an Amsterdam–based radio series and a music platform led by @lolobatten. Now expanding into a label, traverse presents its debut compilation: traversée.

We are thrilled to premiere one of the VA's tracks by @phobhorecords’ honcho @matteocoffetti, a deconstructed digi–jumble landscape full of bubbling basslines, dizzy polymeters and twisted vocal chops.

traversée 01 is set to release on May 31.

Premiere: Matteo Coffetti — yoosa poly twist

The cast of “Stray Observations” finds itself in a new, somehow even darker timeline.  Originally assembled during the early COVID pandemic, this new collection of tunes from the Ridgewood crew have expanded through refined ideas, tighter production techniques and acute empathy for an unprecedented world.  When everything feels so hopeless, where does art exist?  Is there a space for electronic music?  For raving?  The artists of “Stray Observations Volume 3” don’t necessarily answer these age-old queries directly but lend different moods, environments and places to ponder these thoughts.  From bouncing three-movement tech house to Aphex Twin downtempo worship, this compilation offers the spectrum of emotions and thoughts splintering out from the contemporary mind.

Laenz joins EMA’s beloved Woozy family with After Sunset; an extended player of haunted dub architecture, set out within a found-sound planetarium of deconstructed rhythms and textural deviancy. Seminal UK producer and Hemlock Recordings’ founder Untold also features with his first remix in 9 years.

Brooklyn-based Laenz reimagines the expansive structures of her native city as aural scaffolding, reconstructing indeterminate spaces via an emotional rendering process of world building. It’s music that explores the duality of shape and unform, immersed in traditions of sound design and latter-day UK broken beat techno binded by a tender hauntology that’s sublimely immersive as it is intimately personal. After Sunset is her debut for EMA’s boundary-pushing Woozy imprint, following releases for Early Reflex, Rhizome and Eastern Margins, a project detailing elongated processes of varying intensities evoking a rawness which she described as a “war on the heart”. It’s a body of music that’s a direct portal into Laenz’ singular vision, and highlights her inimitable talent amongst the milieu of bass-leaning producers of New York and beyond.

Ballad Before The Break intros us with a garbled chug of out-of-body proportions, before Choices marches in with an uncanny half time of tense textures and After Sunset follows with trip-hop adjacent psychedelia gorged in subs. B-side opens with Echoes Until, a lurching wormhole of disorientating skank while wiL offers a gorgeous ambient epic circled by a percussion-heavy concrète of breakcore abstraction. Untold sees us out with a remix of Choices, a trip into his unrivalled sound world, buoyant by throbbing modulation and rolling kicks of pure surreality.

Bwoy, it’s dark in here.
New name, who dis? Austrian genre bender Toupaz, fka Awo Ojiji, delivers four polyrhythmic steppers that weave blissful moments
into a threatening aura. Is it half-speed, is it double? Is it both?
Either way, there's loads going on.

”Iridescent Lake” by CCL and Flora FM - We love the individual voices of Ceci and Taylor coming together in making this cohesive, intense, fresh sound.

“Beaman” By Papers - London based brothers Ed and Rob (they also run the labels Brothers and newly established Sisters) have been making loads of great stuff recently and we’re happy to be including Beaman here.

“Jiro” By Silene - We met this wonderful Bristol based producer via Soundcloud, loved his work and felt like it was the perfect fit for us. We see a bright future ahead for him.
