The first in a series of tracks reincarnated from In The Spirit Of Diaspora.

Released on Whadjuk Noongar Country. Sovereignty has never been ceded.

Reincarnate:
From Latin: re-, again + incarnare, to make flesh.

Here, we use our divination board to peer into the future. On that board we find Quincy Raw reincarnate, taking those shiny, clairvoyant bells to make a flesh we have yet to embody.

There is a longing here, unanswered. Maybe to be forever unanswered. But let us divine, and have our spirits be guided.

Longing

I have this
Very deep ,
Resounding sense of
Longing ,
That becomes too
Abstract the more I
Try to explain
How I long for
Things and people and
Places and people and
Places and things .
But through these pages ,
Through the music ,
Through those
Indescribable phenomena
That dwell beyond
Language , beyond
Space-time , beyond
Wisdom ,
I feel like I can find
Peace and panache
In an otherwise turbulent world .

Divination (Quincy Raw reincarnate mix)

Available on Audio Cassette and digital download directly from the label’s Bandcamp: https://cclurl.bandcamp.com/album/a-night-in-the-skull-discotheque

Side A: Bass is Eternal
Side B: 2-step Mutual Dream

A Night in the Skull Discotheque by the beloved underground selector CCL is the latest offering in the T4T LUV NRG label’s highly limited DJ mix series of cassettes. This immersive journey through a wonderland of proto-dubstep sounds from the late 1970s through the year 2000 is a sonic sibling to CCL’s acclaimed 2018 mix Ode to Queer Steppas.

Inspired in part by Eris Drew’s use of “old records to create new styles out of fragments” on her Raving Disco Breaks Vol. 1 mixtape (T4T LUV NRG, 2019), CCL approached this recording with a parallel frame of mind. Created with 3 CDJs, one Turntable, and a Boss Digital Delay 200, the tracks included in the mix are deconstructed from their whole, and constituent parts are intertwined, sampled, and dubbed out while being further stretched beyond their physical limits. CCL mixed many tracks at the 'wrong speed', pitched beyond their original recognizable tone; others are recontextualized through imaginative layering.

With a solid nod to seminal mixtapes of the early 90s, CCL references the namesake for Side A, Bass Is Eternal, an unreleased 1992 mixtape by influential Bristolian producers Smith & Mighty, an important sonic fulcrum amongst the musical tributaries of the hardcore continuum that continues to reverberate to this day. CCL experienced the after-effects of this ‘proto’ sound genesis in 2008, while living in Bristol, by which point its emergent whispers had coalesced into what became known as dubstep. Tracing a rich history of reference through the samples, basslines, moods, and drum patterns emanating from Bass Is Eternal while looking for connections that predate it became a long-term fascination for CCL. The result is a DJ mix that connects the oft-forgotten dots between proto eras and modern developments in bass and dubstep.

For the resulting sonic ride on A Night in the Skull Discotheque, CCL leads us to a fantastical place of timeless surreality – a majestic haunted dancehall soundtracked by a giddy rush of steppers and dubbed-out delights. Subs rattle through syncopated percs, and moody synths glisten in macabre glory. Fantastical dancers wriggle in wispy eternity, liberated from their corporeal forms in all their greatest spiritual wonder. Both extravagant and dusky, A Night in the Skull Discotheque is a world of seductive in-betweens, a place caught between the moodiest depths and the highest exuberance – A love letter to one of the most impactful formative sounds of the last decades.

EYX018 brings Scalymoth's debut EP, the two-tracker titled "Lush / Humble Rumble” marks a new milestone in the rapidly rising career of the DJ from Brisbane (Australia).

Scalymoth, has emerged as rising talent in the electronic music world, quietly making waves with her unique sound and innovative production techniques. Drawing inspiration from diverse experiences and the vibrant
energy of different locales, the Australian producer’s music is a blend of i intricate production, atmospheric textures, and powerful beats.

The EP offers two contrasting yet complementary tracks that highlight his versatile production skills and deep understanding of the dancefloor. "Lush" opens the EP with a cascade of ethereal textures that transport listeners into a dreamlike state. The track's layered synths and gentle beats create an atmosphere of tranquility and introspection, making it perfect for both chilled-out listening sessions and early morning festival sets. In stark contrast, "Humble Rumble" brings the energy up with a pulsating bassline and fierce beats that are sure to ignite dancefloors. The track is a testament to Scalymoth's prowess in creating high-energy, bassheavy anthems that resonate with electronic music enthusiasts.

The release of "Lush / Humble Rumble" is accompanied by a series of live performances and DJ sets across Brisbane and other major Australian cities. Fans can expect an unforgettable experience as Scalymoth brings his unique sound to the stage, blending live instrumentation with electronic elements.

Ultimately “Lush / Humble Rumble” explores the duality of sound and emotion of Scalymoth’s music, while ’Lush' captures the serene, introspective side of my production, 'Humble Rumble' is all about raw energy and movement.

Scalymoth said:
“This debut EP is the culmination of a few years of making, listening and learning. It is designed to make you move in whichever way and wherever makes you feel comfortable. All tracks were created on drum machines,
inspired by random occurrences over the last year. I'm also excited I got to weave in some field recordings I took in India.

‘Lush / Humble Rumble’ is available across all platforms on Friday 26th of July 2024.

Humble Rumble

PREMIERE: Scalymoth - Humble Rumble

Nak’s sound is immersive, otherworldly, psychedelic; all grounded in a love for storytelling through music.

Originally (and always) a fan of Melbourne's underground scene, Isabel is drawn to DJ sets that take the listener on a journey - whether that be through mood, genre or tempo - to create something beautiful and entirely anew. This is a quality she explores in her own sets, weaving together intricate, spiraling blends of IDM, techno and bass to create a dreamy, glistening tapestry of sound.

Mirrors 019 - Nak

Artist: Iti 
Title: Don't Play 
Label: Pocketmoth 
Cat #: PKM016A 
Release date: 18.07.2025 
Format: Digital 

Don’t Play is a percussive 120bpm number, low-slung and unhurried. Its drum programming is crisp and minimal, offering space for saturated pads to bloom, and hooky RnB vocals to shine. Deliberate and unforced: a track that trades maximalism for depth; mood-driven dance music, engineered for immersive moments. 

Produced and mixed by Itrat Memon (Iti).

Mastering by Chris McCormack of Blacklisted Mastering.

0:00:00-0:59:59 - firas selects, pugilist mixes
1:00:00-2:26:21 - pugilist selects, firas mixes

The first episode of habitus mix brings together the minds and skills of Pugilist and Firas. Pugilist is the prolific and acclaimed Scottish/Kiwi producer who recently launched his own imprint Ruff Kutz and who has released music on such celebrated record labels as Nous'klaer Audio, Modern Hypnosis, Samurai Records, 3024 and Banoffee Pies Records. Firas is a Syrian-Australian DJ and broadcaster, and the music director at PBS 106.7FM, Naarm's premier specialist music radio station. 

This episode features music from such artists as L.B. Dub Corp, Flying Lotus, DJ Plead & rRoxymore, Crown and Country, LSS, Quincy Raw, Big Hands, Barker, and Forest Drive West, to name just a few. The tracks included here are at once joyful and heartbreaking, still and furious, ambient and ecstatic. Brilliant mixing and long, patient blends hold the music together, and loose, imperfect ruptures ensure that this 2.5-hour episode remains compelling from start to finish.

PREMIERE: https://iti-mqn.bandcamp.com/album/sleep-pressure

Local friends turn international collaborators on 'Sleep Pressure', as Iti and Axon Growth Factor, now split between London and Naarm/Melbourne, close their widened gap with a warm and sanguine shared release. The EP, released via Iti's imprint Pocketmoth, sees the duo tracing their roots back to the hazy inner-city suburbs of Meanjin/Brisbane, where a shared love of hardware led to evening jams after work.

'Sleep Pressure', the release's title track, is one of the products of those very late-night sessions. A remarkably restrained brand of electro, the opener is a soft, gentle, and still notably 'tight' piece of work, featuring layered analogue tones and deep IDM-leaning percussion.

'Sleep Pressure' releases in full on Friday, November 28.

Reconnecting across continents, Iti and Axon Growth Factor trace their roots back to the hazy inner-city suburbs of Magandjin/Brisbane, where a shared love of hardware led to evening jam sessions after work. Now split between London and Naarm/Melbourne, their new EP rekindles that same spark, capturing the immediacy and warmth of their machine-driven approach.

The opening two tracks, Sleep Pressure and Black Box Society, are the product of those late-night sessions in 2022. Sleep Pressure opens the EP in restrained electro form - layered analogue tones and deep IDM-leaning percussion working in gentle sync. An expression of instinctive jamming under fatigue-softened focus.

Black Box Society lifts the tempo. Anchored by the gritty drum output of the MPC1000 and a classic Ensoniq digital piano, it’s fast and tactile, veering between progressive techno and 2-step. The original session file for this track was unfortunately lost, leaving this raw take as the definitive version.

The EP’s second half sees each artist step out on their own. Square Anywhere is Iti’s solo contribution - a fast-moving cut built on 4x4 garage percussion, bouncy basswork and a restless arpeggiator. Debiasing, from Axon Growth Factor, closes the record with a darker edge - jangled bell melodies, fizzy percussion, and brooding atmospheres all nodding to his signature progressive sound.
