Roo Honeychild's City Imp returns for the label's second instalment with Dublin stalwart Ozwald's Back Of The Bus EP.

Over three years in the making, Ozwald takes on Jersey Club, Juke and Jungle, reconfiguring them with his maverick style, whilst partnering up the likes of USHMUSH to face some old foes along the way. This is Irish Club Music in peak form, delivered by its most distinguished and BASS addled purveyors

'Aoife's Neck' is a bona fide classic of Dublin's underground. It appeared originally as a Soundcloud edit in 2018 and has circulated through local DJs collections ever since. This floor burner is built around a maniacally chopped sample of Aoife McGregor's famous 'NECK' related Whastapp voice message. City Imp doctrinal history upholds the original Aoife's Neck as ground zero for Dub[lin] Club [Music] as a genre, the earliest fully successful attempt to subsume the aesthetic spirit of Jersey Club to a uniquely Irish memetic idiom. The 2024 update stays faithful to the original while innovating in the realm of percussion. The extra sauce in this department and extension of the 4x4 rhythms delivers a DJ tool that is equal parts sludgey and frenetic, sure to freak out even the most experienced of dancers.

Back of The Bus lands in full on June 25th here: https://cityimprecords.bandcamp.com/album/back-of-the-bus-ep

Berlin-based producer and audiovisual artist Max Dahlhaus returns to Taiwanese imprint Over My Body two years after his last with their album 'ONEIRIC'.

A system of sound built from fragmented memories, shifting rhythms, and digital distortions. ONEIRIC exists in the space between the organic and the synthetic, between structure and collapse. Here, cello strings vibrate in artificial landscapes, field recordings blur into machine pulses, and AI-generated voices attempt—futilely—to replicate human emotion. It’s a record untethered from genre, operating instead as a dream-state where time signatures fracture, grooves morph, and textures breathe.

The title ONEIRIC—meaning “relating to dreams”—perfectly encapsulates the LP’s unstable logic. Like a lucid dream, the music moves with both intention and unpredictability. Each track is its own self-contained world, but together they form an evolving structure that reprograms itself as it plays. Max Dahlhaus builds this sonic architecture through an array of techniques: recording cello and breaking glass, capturing field sounds, feeding AI-generated elements into Ableton, and letting the collision of these methods shape the outcome.

Our featured premiere 'Ascendancy' feeds off 90s-00s big beat platforms with a futuristic hard drum drives and guitar mutations.

The full album drops on May 2nd.

The release illustrates WRACK's journey in sound to date, showcasing years of club experimentation and introspection. Ultimately the heart of the EP brings into question his position as a Japanese artist creating club tracks for a global audience and what that can mean.

The result is bold and personal exploration of identity, culture and rhythm - crafted for the dancefloor, but resonating far beyond it. B E N N, Titanium and moemiki, add to the fore with three stellar remixes.
