New York-based label Kindergarten Records is thrilled to unveil Ayesha’s (@aye5ha) debut album, ‘Rhythm is Memory’ – 10 boundary-pushing tracks, a shape-shifting percussive journey with electric moments. While intended for maximum dancefloor impact, Ayesha’s first LP is also conceptually thought-provoking and playful, exploring how bodies store and channel creative knowledge.

Weirdos Inc. Records presents its inaugural compilation: "Delusions" – a mesmeric anthology of tracks from talented friends around the world. This compilation weaves a sonic tapestry of fourth world dub encounters that seamlessly connect the dots between psychedelic soundscapes, leftfield techno and sultry downtempo excursions that leave you marooned in a sweltering desert trance.

You're on a train, the melodic chug of flying rails beneath you, A red heat bleeds in from the window creating an ethereal mirage in the distance. The destination is at present unclear, but preliminary shimmering sights and new auditory visions promise hedonistic revelation.
We could waffle on and on like this (and we have a few times). Basically, This compilation is a journey - a collision of songs that created a path we couldn't have dreamt of.

From the clandestine depths of the UK's music scene emerge local Bristol luminaries Bruce, Deep Nalström, and Balouu, alongside the 1990s Lake District free-party-legend, Celestium, and London-based maestro DJ ojo. Traversing hallucinatory Siberian forests, Alterleo's "Voices" floats across the Pacific to the West Coast of North America. The journey continues here along the rain-soaked, salt-kissed abodes of Copyright Linda Fox, IHA, William of Aragon, and Shaye Steele, led by Weirdos Inc.'s conductor, dj_2button. Their rhythms surge southwards, passing through the Olympic Peninsula, en route to the eclectic beats of Seattle's Tondiue, and ultimately, the rhythmic tapestry of Mexican and Brazilian rhythms spun by Ludviq and Mandruvá.

IHA’s “Old School Breaks” tears up the dance floor every time. It’s deep and heady psychedelic trance, euphoric and subtle bass music that soars and transports your conscience out of this barren desert and into the front left of your most frequented sweaty club. Despite only producing for the last 2 years, IHA has taken the Vancouver scene by storm - this track offering a glimpse of their immense talent.

Tracklist:

1) Wesley's Sniped All Our Bleedin' K - Bruce
2) A Still Lake - Deep Nalström
3) Lounge of a Thousand Years - DJ ojo
4) Out of the Box - William of Aragon ft. Shaye Steele
5) Psychjam - Balou
6) Of the Planet - Celestium
7) Dial - Tondiue
8) Old School Breaks - IHA
9) Stepping In - dj_2button
10) Voices - Alterleo
11)Rigo Mortis - Ludviq & Mandruvá

13) Exhale Pure Light - Copyright Linda Fox
14) Eye - Celestium

Following the launch of the Eyes series, Early Reflex welcomes back Ikävä Pii for “Eyes II”, the second entry in this exploratory two-tracker format. 

Possibly the darkest tracks Ikävä Pii has produced to date, ‘False Binaries Fight for Primacy’ and ‘Permaweird’ are two detailed and twisted club tunes, encapsulating the perennial state of frustrated urgency of our times. 
Uneasy feelings are conveyed in both tracks, and refracted through the artist’s signature playful approach.
False Binaries Fight for Primacy is driven by the eerie ambiguity of its major/minor harmony, and a relentless rhythmic section that nods to post-punk as much as the track’s distorted, shouty vocals. The unsettling main theme of Permaweird is hinged on an alteration of the Locrian mode (often deemed the “weirdest” mode), and its timbre, albeit recalling familiar patches from the Process Fatigue era, here paints a much darker picture. 
Topical and heartfelt, these tracks update Ikävä Pii’s sound with an uncanny mutation, material for a standout moment in a club set. Already secret weapons in Ikävä Pii’s live show for nearly a year, they’ve left heads spinning on dancefloors in UK, Europe and beyond, and now find their proper home on Early Reflex.

Ikävä Pii said:
“What’s the purpose of club music in a climate where alienation is the norm and outdated narratives are collapsing?
We live in the permaweird: reality gets increasingly absurd, and yet we adapt to it every day.
Nothing to fight for: digital vs physical, liberal left vs authoritarian right, old vs young - just false binaries. There must be another way. 
In the meantime, activate punk mode, shout in the mic, use stranger scales. 
The only real binary is rich vs non-rich (and that’s what clubs should be about).
Thanks Venkatesh Rao and David Rudnick for the inspiration.”

‘Eyes II’ is available on all platforms starting from Friday 2nd May 2025.

Ikävä Pii - False Binaries Fight for Primacy

Two foundational releases from Toronto's Strobe Records get a well-deserved reissue on the Clone Classic Cuts series, spotlighting a pivotal moment in North American dance music. While often overshadowed by the Detroit and New York scenes, Toronto's underground in the early '90s was brewing its own potent blend of house and techno - and these tracks are prime examples of that cross-border synergy.

The Hayden Andre Project's contributions sit at the perfect intersection of tribal house rhythms and the emotive, machine-driven pulse of early Detroit techno. There's a raw elegance here - a sense of deep groove layered with just the right amount of percussive tension. It's no surprise that these tracks became staples in the crates of DJs both then and now. The production feels timeless, with hypnotic arrangements that still command the floor over three decades later.

On the flip, Kingdom Come, another alias of Ron Allen, delivers lush, blissed-out house music that channels the soulful energy of New York's golden era while adding a uniquely Canadian sensibility. Allen's piano work, layered with warm pads and swinging drums, gives these tracks an unmistakable vibe - equal parts deep house ecstasy and garage swagger. It's the sound of 3 a.m. euphoria, of packed dance floors and emotional peaks.

This reissue not only shines a light on the underrated Toronto scene but also remind us just how global and interconnected house music was becoming in the early '90s. For both collectors and newcomers, these are essential cuts - testaments to a moment when boundaries between cities and styles were blurred in the name of dance.

Spanish Electronica, IDM, Electro all-rounder Annie Hall presents her first full EP for Delsin Records. After a sneaky under the radar contribution to an untitled white label series earlier, she hereby delivers four magnificent cuts of machine heavy electro melancholia to form her Practical Optimism EP. Broken beats with Detroit atmospheres strengthened by knife sharp lazer beams, bumpy drum programming and mesmerizing vocal use form the core of an excellent piece of work that represents both Hall and Delsin in optima forma.

Everything Liquid is a brand-new duo formed in LA. This is their first outing, and it speaks to a pair who have some serious studio chops. They have immediately cooked up a highly developed sound that showcases masterful drum programming, a range of organic and synthetic sound designs and great balance between dynamic grooves and musical synths that leave a lasting impression. 

The EP opens with 'No Signal' featuring Chicago's Jamaican-American singer-songwriter Jesse Boykins III who has previously featured alongside the likes of Hudson Mohawke, Tiga and Machinedrum. It's a thrilling broken beat cut with punchy rhythms oﬀset by the gorgeous falsetto vocals that bring smoky soul next to expressive synth lines and lush chords. The dub version is pared back to the kinetic beats and meticulous percussion for direct dancefloor action. 

The superb 'L A R P' is another masterfully programmed blend of warm, smeared chords and prickly broken beat patterns that sweep you oﬀ your feet and 'Time' then gets more deep and late night. Sultry spoken words bring a sense of intimacy to the organic grooves that rise and fall beneath lingering melancholic keys. Finally, 'Airbud' is an almost eight-minute synth symphony that takes you on a journey through widescreen worlds. Some pads flicker like a dodgy light build, some arc up in grandiose fashion and others twinkle like distant stars. It's a trippy place to get lost.

xlbb, the new project from Vancouver’s IHA and Captivate, comes ashore on Ommaya for a two-track excursion that distills the evolving textures of the Pacific Northwest. The A-side, “Loosejaw,” moves like a deep tide, heady and pressure-locked, threaded with the boundary-pushing bass style the West coast loves. Flip to the B-side and “Melonboat” splashes in as a rigid, mossy weapon, its patterns shifting and sliding until they find perfect lock.

Together, the tracks feel like a map of the region’s sound, damp and expansive and restless, a perfect A/B for the basements, forest raves, and shadowed coasts that give the Pacific Northwest its rain-soaked pulse.
