Roll up Roll up!  We have a seriously tasty package for APPIAN019 and have gone back to a Various Artist format for this one. 

Here we share 4 sets of artists that have been on our radar for some time - some new joiners to Appian and some old friends : ) We think each track stands out from their past discographies and offers something special. 

Timeless cuts to suit intimate dancefloors.

Hope you enjoy : )

Sub Basics lands on Osmura with the 'Phase Drift' EP, the label's second release, following a 2024 V/A featuring Caldera, Bartoli, Atomic Moog, Solma, Birgan, and Shjva. The ‘Phase Drift’ EP opens with ‘Colour’, a high-tempo, percussive, bass-heavy cut blends hypnotic echoing synths with soft, mellow syncopated pads. Up next, ‘Scope’ works a tumbling high bpm percussion over an aquatic undercurrent. On the flip, ‘Splinter’, Sub Basics deftly builds melodies and brings punchy, moody textures to the fore. Finally, the ‘Phase Drift’ EP wraps up with ‘Nt’, a deep, expansive soundscape marked by a chugging groove and gritty industrial reverb.

London-based Sub Basics producer, DJ and Temple Of Sound founder has accumulated support from Ben UFO, Laurent Garnier, Roman Flügal, Kia, Lena Willikens, Tasha and Foundation Audio. Sub Basics’ discography extends to labels such as Modern Hypnosis, Infernal Sounds and Bait, which featured in Mixmag’s 2024 best tracks of the year roundup. The ‘Phase Drift’ EP perfectly encapsulates a unique genre-defying approach to production from an artist on a spiralling upward trajectory. Sub Basics arrives on Osmura, an imprint representing London’s hypnotic dubby auditory landscape.

PREMIERE: Sub Basics - Nt [Osmura]

Naff and Animalia once again join forces to present a collaboration between OK EG and Priori. The project began with a session at the Melbourne Electronic Sound Studio, where initial sonic experiments took shape. These were later developed into four interconnected movements—each crafted to feel both weightless and propulsive. The result is four high-speed, hypnotic dance pieces, best described as ‘feather-tech.

Priori’s hit EP Pareidolia gets a well deserved remix treatment. The relation between Priori and Midgar started early 2023 with the release of his Pareidolia EP, where a remix for Keplrr followed quickly the year after. Now, early 2025, a group of close friends and admired artists were invited to rework the Pareidolia’s originals.

Midgar affiliate Forest Drive West uses the opportunity to present not one but two remixes. Presenting one half-time 85 bpm twist of Hazard and another slow-paced murky techno groover. Originally from Montreal, Maara forms the Canadian connection and she turns Memory Palace into a beautiful bouncy dub-techno floater. Sound experimentalist Notte Infinita takes his turn on Pareidolia’s title track and creates some magnificent eyes-closed drum & bass hypnotism. At last, Amsterdam’s upsammy brings back the light with her iconic playful approach. She flips the steady groove of Glass Shards into a jumpy interplay of rhythms and joy.

Behold, SHFT! A wizard of sound. A master of texture, and a creator of driving, progressive dimensions that propel oneself into parts unknown. 

'Cyborg' is a perfect example of the way SHFT's captivating basslines take hold of listeners and dance floors. Through clever sequencing and attention to textural detail, it rolls on and on without tiring. The track slowly builds and intensifies, accumulating in a rich and immersive sonic plain which eventually cascades into resolution. This is certainly a track to get lost in.

'Glyph' displays the more playful side to SHFT's style. Between the crunchy drums and bassline, the track pings about giving a bouncy and infectious feel. All along, retaining an atmosphere that keeps one's mind outside of the observable reality. The effective groove in this track is sure to get bodies moving beyond the early hours.

'Abyss' is a piece destined for the more gentle and personal moments. Whilst it still has great danceability, its subdued speed and patient nature lends to a shut-eye experience. It wouldn't be a SHFT track without exceptional sound design, which perpetuates throughout. Noticeably in the breakdown with the wonderfully squelchy acid sounds. Abyss is a ideal example of SHFT's experience and past in progressive music.

'Neutral Drift'. Co-produced with friend and sonic explorer KR:DS, Neutral Drift rounds of the release with finesse, further executing the Neo-Psy sound. The effective 'Call and Response' method between the different elements comes to the fore in this track and mixes a medley of dry and wet sounds, culminating into another modern techno masterpiece.

CAIV deliver rigorous, syncopated machine rhythms on the Lives EP from U.S bi-coastal collaborators Israel Vines and Camile Altay, following on from their formidable debut EP Dwellers on Tresor last year.

Lives is four finely calibrated cuts riding a diverse tempo range, unified by rich harmonics and resonant percussive layering over veiled bass textures, where distortion becomes detail.
