next stop

For our next installment we are excited to have French comrades REMAIN & daWad, both who shared an affinity for dark melodic, synthetic and sometimes atmospheric 90s touches that gives birth to their own cyber electronic music. Both longtime producers and veterans of the dance scene shares as a duo project, “Drowsy” an EP with the eclectic tact that characterise them.

Dazzled, the first single of the EP comes with an intrinsic touch that dives between hypnotic synths, stabs and a restless bass along with dreamy voices which calls for a night out.

Comatose on the other hand promises to defy any dancefloor driving the listener through an static and trembling bass line, drifted vocals and a persisting beat building up constantly on a 
perfect club ride.

Following the 2 original tracks, we’re thrilled to have legend Silicone Soul & Prinze’s, remixing Comatose on a beautiful Acid dub that is nothing short but mesmerizing, along with label mate Kabinett who doesn’t cut short to add harmony a drives all night with his take on Dazzled.

Enjoy!

Mastered by: The Wall

REMAIN & daWad - Dazzled (Original Mix)

LEGEND ALERT: “Silicone Soul’s techno-tinged house productions have captivated the world’s dancefloors for 25 years. From heroic releases on Soma, including the crossover hit ‘Right On, Right On’, to deep excursions on their own Darkroom Dubs imprint, they have always remained a benchmark of quality. Enrapturing you with blues one moment, damaging you with disco the next, then blindsiding you with a deep tech tease - these dynamics have defined their style. Respected studio artists who’ve honed the dark art of hypnosis and immersion, in-demand DJs who can spellbind ears in all capacities from Panorama Bar to the Boiler Room via two Radio 1 Essential Mixes, and influential independent label Darkroom Dubs: However, wherever you encounter Silicone Soul’s operations, their kaleidoscopic, electronic ethos is unfailing.

Entrenched in Soma schooling, Darkroom Dubs maintains Glasgow’s record label tradition of never compromising and encouraging the most honest records from all artists who work with them, from supporting early and breakthrough cuts to working with innovators of all generations. Over 20 years, Darkroom Dubs has amassed a rich catalogue of unique and inspiring electronic music with breadth, soul and a subtle sense of cosmic consistency, just like Silicone Soul’s productions. The fact that they only ever sign tracks they genuinely believe in means every Darkroom Dubs release is worth checking, with their sporadic-but-always-on-point Darkroom Dubs compilations vital for any card-carrying house lover.”

Finally! Here is the spæcial mix by @REMAIN, recorded live at "La Plage du @Glazart" in Paris 7th of June 2025 !  

Any given morning—but not just any—this one sticks. Early summer, Saturday. First shift, the slot. Sets the tone, draws the line. We’re on it now.

Eyes meet—no blink, no flinch—just a smile, low and sure. 

For the long stay, the slow burn, the sharing, the dancing, the losing track and the finding it again. Alright then. 

10 to 1. Feet in the sand.

Nowhere else like this. Not Berlin, don’t even try— this is Paris. Still waking, still buzzing. Still soft around the edges.

Let’s make the best of it, she said. He didn’t blink—hell yeah. 

Bring it on. Let it unfold. Let’s play.

THIS IS MEANT030 - MARC HOULE - WAS IST DAS EP
RELEASE : July 2025. Pre-Save : bfan.link/was-ist-das-1

Everywhere and nowhere, there are those who transcend.
Properly. Philly’s finest. Head of the cult.
Started low, flew continental.
Real-deal believer. A true one.
Respect where it’s due.
Without him — well — we’re almost nothing.
Shouts to the spine.

But some beliefs dig deeper.
Much.
The kind that hum beneath the floors.
Started quiet, now it’s creeping.
Tremors. REMAIN feels it.
Not alone in the twitch.
Some have been fiending for a new Marc Houle record.
He knows. They know.
We all know at least one who has.
Don’t lie.

From Restore to Bay of Figs, from weird to wide.
Techno vocals. Raw loops.
Backwards analog love.

REMAIN has been starving.
And starving for sound — well — that’s sacred.
He’s been craving for more.

There are those who wait. There are those who believe.
There are those who make things happen.
And those who get lucky.
Today, the lucky ones: that’s you.
The wait is over. The hunger fed.
The cult rejoices.
The time: NOW.

But wait — WAS IST DAS ?
Ah, yes :

« WAS IST DAS »

That’s the name.
That’s the spell.
You’re not supposed to understand.
You’re supposed to feel it.

Marc touched it. Twisted it.
Let it rise weird and wonderful.
Only he could. And he did.

MARC IS ALL YOU WANTED

We knew.
So here.
Go.

With love.
Always.

MEANT IS ALL YOU NEED

Moralez - Hardcore Jabber Trax

The new release of the label is listed by the Russian EBM producer and certified psychiatrist - Rudiment.https://soundcloud.com/rudiment-1

After the hard working days in a Russian budgetary clinic while helping mentally ill, alcoholic and drug addicted people, Alexey Bork aka Rudiment arrives in his tiny flat outside St. Petersburg and produces his heavy sound numbers driving by the inspiration of the true reality...

The EP “Death in club” includes two original tracks filled with the powerful reefs of synthesizers, industrial energy, old-school sound and the furious roars of the drum machines.

The release also includes some cold and minimalistic remix from the owner of the label - Alexander Moralez. https://soundcloud.com/Moralez

All these tracks are written without using a computer and are an example of analog technology.

The record (restored pieces) comes from from the legendary audio cassette "Fucking Life" recorded in 1997 at the Griboedov club in St. Petersburg and at that time was extremely rated by the Russian fans of the genre. The mix contains heavyweight out of competition all-timers, which sound is extremely relevant to nowadays difficult times.

Angela Shulzhenko aka DJ Angela is one of the first Russian DJs, a loyal soldier and hardcore fan since the early 9Os.
