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.

For our ninth release, we present "Awakened G", Gbar’s debut LP. Nine functional, dancefloor-driven cuts blending relentless groove with deep, heads-down psychedelia.

Gbar balances introspective depth with raw form, delivering a tripped-out journey that takes listeners deeper into the groove with each beat. A proper nod to the dancers before us, this LP captures the spiritual essence of the free party, now making its way to this year’s festival circuit.

Caldera puts his stamp on “Spiral of the Last Light,” pushing it further into the subby low-end depths while adding the perfect touch of warmth and glow, completing the final chapter of "Awakened G".

Polychrome Radio on Echobox - Episode 38 - RÄISÄNEN

@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! 🔆

Polychrome Radio on Echobox - Episode 39 - ISA W

It’s refreshing to feel such care and vision for music and the cultures that surround it. We first discovered @Lula_Luna as an artist through her listening selections—whether played on radio shows or released on her own SoundCloud.

A certain sensitivity shines through her sets. Her selections spark the imagination and inspire new flows. From ambient escapes to dub-infused electronics, there’s a grounding element that ties her sound together—understated yet powerful.

As part of the Possibilities Open Studio crew, Lou has been exploring her creative self by curating events that move the needle, while researching music aesthetics and experiences. Alongside this beautiful cover shot by Mark Loopstra, she shared with us a few nature photographs taken in Gran Canaria. A soft visual reminder that sounds require space and time.

Lula Luna is our next guest on Polychrome Radio this Friday 02/05 at 18:00 on Echobox Radio . It is a pleasure to host her on the 40th episode of our podcast series. Tune in! 🔆

Polychrome Radio on Echobox - Episode 40 - Lula Luna

Kate's debut EP 'Sprint' celebrates and cements a genre-fluid ethos with four tracks where texture and atmosphere take precedence over convention.

The EP’s opener ‘Harpan’ is a bold ambient statement, brimming with otherworldly, bell-like piano riffs, humming pads, long, gliding sweeps and sparse percussion. Written in the stillness of winter, ‘Harpan’ captures the quiet beauty of solitude and anonymity amid movement. The title track ‘Sprint’ shifts gears. A synth-surge launches the track before a slow release into breakdowns, trading the opener’s introspection for unbridled motion. ‘Hoover’ deepens the momentum with lurching rhythms, a drunken bassline, and tangled, footwork-inspired snares. Finally, ‘The Embrace’ delivers the most club-focused moment, rattling congas and panning djembes ride a punchy kick, giving way to a dramatic, techno-infused finale.

Intentional in its construction and unbound by genre, Sprint marks a powerful new chapter for Kate Miller.

For this next episode of Polychrome Radio , it is our pleasure to invite one of the label’s oldest friends, Random Spirit ⚛️

A core member of RPU, Francesco has been offering his energy to the underground scene for years, helping create raves and parties that still today are our favorite dances. Involved in building the Noord Space community and part of the Spores crew, he has been dedicating his time to creating spaces for music and exchange.

Random Spirit is constantly in the search for new musical avenues both as a dj and producer. Always navigating in between the lines, he researches the sounds that connect minimal, trance and electro, unearthing music that we rarely get the chance to listen to. As a producer, he gets the freedom to design his own world, one that merges a certain sensitivity to the raw energy of the rave.

This moment is a special one, as it is with a lot of care and excitement that we will experience what he has prepared for this episode. See you on the airwaves! 📡

Polychrome Radio on Echobox - Episode 41 - Random Spirit

Today at 18:00, it is our pleasure to host Amsterdam-based artist dj and producer Jerrau for our Polychrome Radio episode on Echobox Radio📡

Jerrau has been making us dance for some years now. Navigating between percussive grooves, bass heavy cuts and deeper escapes with ease and flow, the Dutch-Surinamese selector keeps on adding memorable performances to his portfolio. Whether it is at Horst Arts & Music Festival, Dekmantel, Club Raum or Garage Noord, Jerrau constantly offers glimpses of his library and shades of his colorful palette, never compromising on his influences and inspirations. 

Very involved in Amsterdam’s nightlife through programming and curation, his process is fueled by artistic curiosity and anchored within a constantly evolving ecosystem. As Jerrau continues to experiment with rhythms and sounds, he keeps on reinventing himself while building bridges between shifting generations of dancers.

We are very excited of having Jerrau today, and can’t wait to showcase the music that moves him!
