Irish producer and DJ Casper Hastings returns to the label in full force with a 6-track EP titled “Recreational Murder”, including a bonus track on the digital format. Unleashing a lethal mutation of electro, techno and jungle, the release showcases Casper’s versatility as an artist who garners clear-cut expertise in his field. 

Nodding to its foreboding title, “Tangerine Meme” follows suit with an increased pace, woven together by squelchy synth work, wobbly bass and a gnawed up vocal scattered throughout.

“Reaper” lands with a pitched-up vocal riff opening the track; the word LSD later echoing through the ghostlike atmosphere laid out by a snappy pattern of snares and smoggy distortion. Peder Mannerfelt’s remix of the track comes as a curveball and flips the B-Side of the record, upending the previously understated but ominous tone with thundering drums, whiplike percussion and in-your-face high velocity. 

“Ruthless Romance” continues on the rapid tip, this time highlighting Caspers long-running love for jungle. With a spirited UKG-tinged sample layered over clattering drums and  hardcore bass lines with the celebrated genre, this is the track that brings a chunk of quick escapism. The deconstructed “Good Medicine” closes the record with the return of stabbing bleeps, intense kicks and swirling psychedelics accompanied by a grunt-heavy sample to reflect the EP's theme a sense of dread lurking behind every corner. Looping full circle to that initial cinematic feel, the final track / digital bonus “Akashita” marks his solo instalment on the label with palpable effect for an incredibly rounded piece of work.

Marshalling Yard

Typically delivering unflagging epic synths, « Circles » lies in the loop and the winery process of a delectable ambrosia, drunk with warped synths leads and shaken-like rattling percussions. Frenetically banging, the enthralling build-up make it a dance floor killer and perfect closing material.

Alpine DJ - Circles

Fandango’s beloved Aquarium dancefloor isn’t confined to any specific genre but rather embodies an entire colourscape and aesthetic, guided by a 115 BPM restriction. Some of the most thrilling ideas emerge from spaces of limitation, and it is here the Aquarium has found its much-celebrated groove.

The Aquarium V/A Vol. i features 15 tracks spanning the entire scape of this amphibious dancefloor. The compilation surges through a journey into the minds and waves of 17 producers, navigating an underwater sound consistent in its diversity. From the wobbling pulse of Big Leg’s Jelly Dub Luv (ft. RexL) to COLA REN’s dreamy seabed roll, the filmic nostalgia of eoin DJ’s Things In Life, and the more danceable sound of E-Talking’s Être un autre ohm, each track is a love letter to every corner of the Aquarium’s deep blue.

The selection is curated by the team behind Fandango, and will be donating all profits to the marine conservation charity Blue Ventures. The charity was chosen to contribute back to marine life without which sounds and swells of aquatic bass could not exist. Blue Ventures works with small-scale local cultures and economies to support their natural ecosystems, ensuring a fair distribution of resources.

Wellen.Brecher - Techno DJ (Tooflez Allstarz BATTLEBLASTER Mix)

transformation

A dark lonesome journey… deep and hard techno kicks, slow tempo - but no compromise.

Taking you back to a time when the scene was about expression and not narcissism.

You didn’t want people to know your whereabouts. All that mattered was the abandoned rave, your mates, and sometimes strangers. You came home at 7am, changed forever.

Now you find yourself in a world you don’t recognise, where we wave our phones side to side for social media. Well let this track take us back to when it really was a counter-culture.

a dark life (experimental)

Track that I've been working on trying to recapture some of those 90's classic dance vibes with a focus on a tense / moody atmosphere
