An essential and prolific figure in Australia’s electronic music community, producer Reptant officially presents his new tech-house inspired alias Ulo. S for ANIMA13. What started as a one-off live experiment for Melbourne’s Techworld party series, Ulo now reveals Beat Seeker - an EP of serious groove and a pure timeless quality. Beat Seeker advances on the signature old-school electro Reptant style and merges it with euphoric melodies and crisp, driving basslines. A dear friend of Animalia, Beat Seeker is another family affair that truly represents our entire ethos of colourful and mind bending sounds.

Animalia would like to acknowledge that all tracks were produced on the traditional land of the Wurundjeri peoples, and pay respect to their elders past, and present. Sovereignty was never ceded.

After already working on yeyeh005 together /w https://soundcloud.com/0rds0, it was more than overdue to do a solo EP together. Our lives crossed over ten years ago, and the past six years saw us grow into a deep friendship. All four tracks were made around the time of preparation for a Breakfast Club ADE 2021 with De Lichting live. Three years later, we are releasing these solo club cuts.

The fresh artwork is made by Nol Cobben - as with all ninih records it’s a vinyl-only release. Pre-order now via https://soundcloud.com/oneyewitness and soon to be found in every relevant recordstore ;).

RDS - Tppsty EP [ninih006 snippets]

“I've collaborated with Polychrome for quite some time. I performed at their one-year anniversary at Sexyland and, along with Eversines, played at their ADE 2022 party. Additionally, I contributed to their recent "Reflection EP." Throughout this collaboration, we became friends. Hervé, one of the core members of the group, asked me numerous times to create an EP together. It wasn't until his wedding that I finally said yes (how fitting!).

The first track of the EP is "Laak," a tune I created the day after playing at the club in Den Haag. I thoroughly enjoyed DJing at this venue with its impressive sound system. It inspired me to work on the low reese-bass that forms the core foundation of the track. Hervé and I decided to dedicate the entire A-side to this tune, as we had discussed how nice it would be to have a 45-side on this EP.

The second side focuses more on the emotional aspects we appreciate. "Underwater (Dream Mix)" opens this side with an uptempo techno-ish foundation and trancy melodies, fitting the label's aesthetic perfectly. The track's name stems from my unintentional creation of very "underwater" sounding pads during the recording session (note to self: next time double-check if the mix is alright). The EP concludes with "Reassociate," a tune heavily inspired by the early 2000s IDM gems we adore.”

PA007 - Underwater EP by RDS - snippets

Down To Earth embark upon the maiden voyage of a newly-minted record label with the 'Analysis Paralysis EP' from co-founder Remotif. This debut release sets the stage for a new chapter for DTE by inviting listeners into their own sonic orbit, with aural manifestations weaved into being by members of the collective and its close friends.

Remotif’s first release in nearly a year, he’s spent this time patiently honing his sound, distilling the melodious rapture of previous releases into an altogether sleeker, darker concoction. The journey begins with the title track, a pulsating celebration of the feminine divine; barrelling rhythms and low-end heft coalesce with seductive vocal incantations for a kaleidoscopic climax. 

Following this, 'Tinto Cringe' descends deeper into the lysergic rabbit hole. Muscular, driving kicks underpin celestial midrange ripples and razor sharp hi-hats, blending sonic complexity with understated danceability. As the EP progresses, 'The Frogs Are Back' shifts the energy with a slower, entrancing pace - ideal for moments when the dancefloor craves a deeper connection. 

Rounding out the EP, DTE’s own Boulderhead gently brings dancers back to earth with a stripped back remix of 'Analysis Paralysis'. He dials back the intensity of the original with a cheeky wink and a nudge, deftly streamlining it with his trademark bouncy-yet-minimal aesthetic.

Spectral Bounce proudly presents Zevar, the debut release by Aedis. An alias of David Iriarte, this new undertaking sees the Amsterdam-based artist plumbing the depths & tunnelling further into a sound that has surely been in the works for some time. One half of Iro Aka, Iriarte is no stranger to the exploration of ambiance & rhythmic play: the duo released a trilogy of records on John Talabot’s label Hivern Discs between 2020 & 2023.

On Zevar, Iriarte first traverses the deeper territories of tech house before conjuring up mystic 2-step and delving into rolling techno. The sense of spaciousness throughout the EP is vivid: perpetually unfolding modulated delays; cavernous reverb; weighty, grounding sub frequencies. This expanse is punctuated by fragmentary voices, psychedelic refrains (“Xtz”), intricate break deployment (“Station”) and thudding bass tones (“RTHM”). Just enough is given, just enough held back. With these 4 tracks, Aedis brings you that little bit deeper.

1. Braised
2. Communing
3. Broken Through
4. Braised (al dente remix)

After seven years since his last release, label CEO Mr Assister makes a long-overdue return to beam. Across four tracks, including a remix from close friend of the label, al dente, the EP explores the rhythmic and psychoactive spaces between techno, tek haus, and minimal psy. Opening the EP, ‘Braised’ juxtaposes two sensibilities, situating playful grooves amid droning, disaffected atmospheres. ‘Communing’ builds on the rolling templates of psychedelic trance, with swarms of glitched-out percussion and pads that reveal traces of melancholia. In ‘Broken Through’, four-four kicks dip their toes into streams of acid, reflecting textures of technological breakdown. Rounding off the EP, al dente reimagines ‘Braised’ via his signature brand of warping swamp-tek.

Written and produced by Mr Assister. 
Stem mastering (tracks 1-3) and mastering (track 4) by Pearson Sound.
