Celebrating not just Ryan Elliott’s faith in a vital new generation of producers and DJs, but five years of his own meticulously curated Faith Beat imprint, ‘Have Faith’ is a bold new chapter for the Panorama Bar veteran. Before relocating to Berlin, Elliott cut his teeth spinning Detroit, so he pays it forward on this 34-track compilation, shining a dazzling spotlight on the local scenes and breaking new artists that promise to keep American dance music moving as it lurches towards a new era. When he was based in the US, Elliott realized how distant Europe felt for homegrown artists – not just philosophically, but physically. Two years ago, he set about excavating the US’s underground architecture, pooling contacts and tracks, and urging his wide network of friends to send over their best recommendations. The compilation coalesced organically, and pulls together a diverse canon of producers, offering them the global exposure they urgently need. Eighty percent of the tracks are from up-and-coming US-based artists from the Midwest and beyond, so with the 10th release on his label, Elliott lays down a glimpse of a possible future of underground house and techno that counters the scene’s contemporary Eurocentricity. This music was born in the US, and its evolution might still be in American hands.

PREMIERE: Sansibar - D.T.T.

The second EP from label bosses djfix & jek delivers seven dancefloor-ready tracks, fusing hazy percussion, twisted synthesis, and ethereal, granulated vocal chops into a deep, rolling journey through sounds made for an outdoor system. An homage to early West Coast breaks—desert style—reimagined through the Earth Dog sound.
On remix duties, we’ve tapped two favs: Human Space Machine & Blu:sh. HSM twists the source material into head-spinning hypnosis, while Bl:ush crafts a shadowy, driving, percussive trip built for the early morning heads.

Earth Dog Records presents "Bongdrift," the 10th* addition to our discography and the latest release from Milan's Inner Lakes. 

Spirits drift through an early-morning haze, chasing the pulse of the after-hours. Crunchy, tightly wound drums immerse themselves amidst aqueous textures and ghostly vocal fragments, rippling through the mix like transmissions from another realm. 

All four tracks are built for the heads-down, eyes-closed moments-- where the floor becomes a world of its own, guided by rhythm, shadow, and repetition.

A2. REM
B1. High Tides

Spectral Bounce’s fifth instalment comes courtesy of L.A.’s rave archivist and dancefloor operative Dreams, A.K.A. Jesse Pimenta. Throughout his decade-long career the California native has inspected, dissected and concocted all manner of dance musics, leaving his mark with drops on Apron Records, Pinkman, BANK NYC and his own imprint Dance Data. On SPEC05 — Dangerous When Wet — he hijacks the synapses with 4 accomplished productions, plotting a high BPM course through manifold styles using the raw aesthetic that characterises his output.

“Losing Control” is a frenetic dancefloor invitation, immediately locking into a pacing groove. Beneath wild hand drums, Dreams plays with an insistent 303 bassline alternating between rasping buzz and oily squelch, while stern vocals are layered on top of breaks that have been processed to a viscerally satisfying end.

Taking things from delirious dance circle to underwater biosphere, the EP’s eponymous track explores a submerged 1980s Miami. Weighty & enveloping, “Dangerous When Wet” is pure aquatic pop-n-lock — hydraulic electro for a drowned world. Ocean floor caustics are transmuted into auditory form: arpeggios bubble up; drones shimmer mystically; hi-hats hiss like air from an open valve. Amongst the sonar bleeps, a barrage of pummeling low-end is sure to give subwoofers a workout.

“XTC Messenger” delivers an infectious paranoid dispatch, astutely balancing the sensual with the deranged. A slow-mo dial tone unfolds languidly, running counter to nervously twitching high frequencies. Its punchy percussion is tuned for maximum dopamine release; the track’s abrupt vocal chops and mechanical kick-snare pulsation evoke the leather jackets and jagged edges of 1980s industrial discotheque.

“Pressure Points” closes the EP on a heady and mesmerising polymetric trip. The parting track is a lithe yet spacious number, propelled by a rattling break. Here Dreams follows from track 2, creating an immersive environment in which sounds tightly twist and twirl. Shifting oscillators call out like tiny creatures as the bass throbs and wriggles further into your brain, long after the needle hits the runout groove.

@isabel-wiltenburg has been shining her way through our communities for some time now. Leading the Nightlife Care Network - a support platform for our nights - she offers us her deep nightlife expertise, inspiring empathy and friendship, making our practice grow on and off the dance floor. Because it is there that her research in the night starts, as a dancer. One that fully experiences music, soaking in the energies and sounds, while defining her own.

Exploring bass frequencies and UK influenced club music, ISA W perfectly paces the rhythm and is open to merging cultures through sounds. After recording a beautiful episode of RPU’s Aquatic Gardens and blessing  the Surface Massief night at Noord Space , Isabel is taking the reins of Polychrome Radio for an hour through her collection, and we are honored.

Tune in! 🔆

Resonance Spectrum Records proudly launches with its debut EP, Love Colours.
Founded by Nickon Faith, the label is dedicated to delivering warm, eclectic frequencies across the full spectrum of dance music. This first release is a statement of intent — vibrant, psychedelic, and deeply immersive — featuring a standout remix from On Rotation’s own Lisene.

The title track Love Colours opens the journey with hypnotic grace. A soft trance pulse guides you through layers of soaring pads and intricate instrumentation, gradually building into a wash of psychedelic euphoria.

Inner Thoughts shifts gears with intensity. Driving techno grooves underpin celestial, distorted flutes and aggressive yet elegant sound design. It’s a masterclass in psychedelic tension and release — intricate, trippy, and perfectly built for both the club and the open-air festival stage.

Lisene closes out the EP with a sublime reimagining of Inner Thoughts. His signature style bends the track into a more broken, ethereal space, full of shimmering detail. Undulating rhythms, spacious textures, and soul-touching pads give the remix a dreamlike quality — simultaneously grounded and otherworldly.

Love Colours is out now on Resonance Spectrum Records — a bold first transmission from a label tuned into the deeper frequencies of the dancefloor.

'Floating, Glowing' is the latest release by producer RXEX, finding a home on much-loved Naarm/Melbourne-based label Backpocket Slammers. 

"A six-track voyage through shadowy low-end terrain," 'Floating, Glowing' is a mix of introspection and build, perfectly articulating the forward-thinking approach to Australia's more experimental takes on dance floor psychedelia, featuring remixes by none other than Andy Garvey and Autogenesis.

'Bone Whistler', premiered here, is a heaving mix of dubstep and half-time drum & bass, consistently shifting its shape but with a consistent dedication to weighty percussion. 

Of the track, RXEX shared a similar kind of smokey mystique:

"Exhale decaying rhythms, glowing and dissolving into shadow — inhale the unknown, floating light of fractured realms, rising from the dreams of silent nights."

'Floating, Glowing' is out today, Friday, August 1, via Backpocket Slammer's Bandcamp.
