So Us Vol. 1

Size Queen

Out Monday June 30!

Ian Pooley stormed the techno scene back in 1996 when his classic Chord Memory was first released on Force Inc. This powerful number left both Joris Voorn and Edwin Oosterwal awe inspired and they are proud to finally re-release it on their label Rejected. 

For this release Ian has created a stellar new mix alongside the re-mastered original. Renowned producer Reggy Van Oers' remix goes even further in this dynamic advance. A classic, revamped tune that will send every fist to the air, this EP package demands attention.

Supported by Laurent Garnier, Rolando, DVS1, Breach, Dusky and many more!

Premiere | Grush - Wawel (INTO001)

exclusive | NachoMarco - 909 File 1 | Chiwax

Valencia's Nacho Marco has an incredibly impressive back catalogue, with releases on brilliant labels including Freerange, Plastic City, Lazy Days, Ovum, We Play House and his own excellent Loudeast imprint too. Now added to the list is the irrepressible Chiwax, with his “The 909 Files" EP. 

Each track is simply titled 'File 1' through to “File 4“, so let's kick things off in the usual order. "File 1“ is a powerhouse of percussion and keys, with an almost Reese-esque bassline rumbling underneath. The weight of the kicks and the metronomic rattle of the rimshots thunders the track along, making this a very impressive opener. 

“File 2" slows the BPM down a few notches, the drums are again super-heavy (being from the 909, as the EP title gives away), but this time the keys take a softer approach, with glorious floating pads underpinning the mellow mood here. A wonderfully woozy closer to the A-side. 

Flipping over for “File 3“ on the B-side, the 909 is joined by our old friend the M1 bassline, with clipped vox parts adding to the energy pulsing through the track. Swinging along in a fashion reminiscent of classics such as  Kerri Chandler et'al, this is a superb straight-up warm house jam. 

Rounding the EP off, “File 4’"is built around a stabby church organ riff which nags away throughout the track, the punchy percussion and tinkling chords coming together in a swirl of joyous depth for the dancefloor. The bassline chugs away with its neat bounce, echoing the thump of the unmistakable 909 kicks, closing the EP off in the style it maintains throughout, namely exquisite dancefloor-driven house music which has a real timeless quality.

Opinion - Artless EP [DEMO012]

Since its beginnings within the Euphoria collective in the 90s, Jaime Torrealba aka JIMI has constantly explored the deepest corners of house and minimal music. A central figure in the Chilean scene, he has established his unique style: a subtle combination of stripped-back grooves, hypnotic textures, and a dub-techno approach that has distinguished him for nearly three decades. It is therefore only natural that JIMI today joins the Fantastic Friends family with his new project: Pretty Things EP. This EP presents itself as a sound exploration between minimal sophistication and organic energy. JIMI confirms that he remains an essential voice in the underground scene, loyal to his heritage while constantly seeking new artistic paths.
