Sarayu: The Ransom Note Mix

In what ways does human consciousness transcend time, crafting subconscious connections that unite humanity’s primordial past with a future yet to be defined? Fittingly, Memory Implant took shape by following the latent threads of this concept, emerging from dream theories and anthropological explorations organically into the realm of Fourth World Music.

Finding a middle ground between atmosphere and rhythm, moving forward while remaining grounded in space, the music progresses with subtle shifts in texture and energy.

The concept of genre re-invention is irrelevant when rhythm is a building block of collective consciousness. Instead, Glaesha brings a fresh perspective, using sound as a way of seeing.

PREMIERE: Glaesha - State In Transit [Breaker Breaker]

In "Structural Disruption ", Ground16 crafts a deeply textured journey that blends breakbeat-infused grooves, hazy pads, and dubwise atmospheres. Across five tracks, the Lausanne-based producer explores the space between introspection and dancefloor tension where raw percussion meets dreamy harmonics. From the gritty energy of "Disruptive Error" to the misty melancholy of "Horizon Fumé", the EP reflects Ground16’s distinctive approach to rhythm and space. It’s a release that resonates through both body and mind.

JSPRV35 - Intergalactic Funk

UK-born, Melbourne-based Hedchef creates the kind of sharp, off-kilter club constructions that disorientate and delight the dancefloor in equal measure.

Showing discipline to a militant ethos of pushing the envelope, futurism and point-blank rejection of nostalgia, irony and pastiche, Hedchef’s groove-based, breakdown-light arrangements align closer to classic techno and electro than dubstep or garage, whilst his razor-sharp sound design draws from influences closer to drum ‘n’ bass and the UK bass-driven music spectrum to add imaginative, gritty edges to the rolling flow.

Hedchef’s prolific back catalogue and wide-ranging DJ sets certainly tend to feature dark, heavy and abrasive sounds - but his approach to writing grooves, similarly to if they were guitar riffs or brass sections, brings an almost pop-adjacent catchiness that belies the leftfield, experimental nature of his rhythmic structures and warped sound palettes.

It’s this intricate musicianship which has seen Hedchef release on acclaimed labels including Scuffed Recordings in London, New York-based Worst Behaviour and Berlin’s International Chrome, with a stacked schedule of upcoming releases that continue the mission of expanding the boundaries of functional club tools.
These tracks can be heard in the sets of some of the world’s most venerated DJs and tastemakers, from Dave Clarke and Anastasia Kristensen to Detroit In Effect, Jensen Interceptor and Solid Blake.

Most recently, his collaborations with cross-genre wizard Doctor Jeep have been a staple in the international club circuit. Behind the decks, Hedchef has played his brand of technical, unorthodox techno at some of the world’s most prestigious clubs and events, from legendary London institution Unfold and Abyss in Shanghai to Sydney mainstay Club77.
Hedchef continues to keep the listener guessing whilst staying rooted firmly on the dancefloor, and his work unfalteringly develops in scope and ambition with each project.
