For our milestone 10th release, Brisbeats Records welcomes progressive house maestro Ewan Rill with a pair of uplifting originals. Mother River and Soul Strings radiate pure feel-good energy — hypnotic grooves, warm melodies, and an unmistakable flow built for the dancefloor. Adding their own magic, Richie Blacker delivers a euphoric, nostalgia-tinged remix primed for peak-time moments, while Brisboys push deeper with a rolling, underground rework that brings serious fire to the floor. An uplifting journey through melody, movement, and emotion — this release celebrates everything progressive house is meant to be.

Ewan Rill - Soul Strings (Original Mix) [Brisbeats Records]

„The Silent Rise“ unfolds in quiet tension — a progressive melodic trance journey built on evolving layers, warm analog basslines, and subtle emotional shifts. The track moves between darkness and light, creating a cinematic space where rhythm becomes reflection. Designed for deep listening and late-night sets, it carries Tom Lysar’s signature balance of precision and soul — hypnotic, spacious, and quietly euphoric.

Logtoad - Rat Full Of Coins EP Vol 1

Against Fascism Trax. 

Many small actions combined can have great power, and it is always better to try to do something than to do nothing.  I have long believed this.  It breaks my heart that AF Trax must exist, but sitting back and doing nothing is an option I simply cannot countenance.

Our current global political climate gives grave cause for concern, because when the world tips to the right, those within marginalised communities feel repressive outcomes directly & immediately.  It is easy to think “it surely isn’t so bad”?, but those people precarious in their life circumstances, marginalised in our communities and displaced across the borders of the world are already suffering the consequences - often violently - of this shift in ideology.

We live in an era where talking is endless, but where actions are harder to find.  If AF Trax reaches just one person to make them change their mind over being a supporter of the far right, motivates somebody to work against fascist thinking, informs someone or raises funds - then I will view it as having been a success.  Something solid will have been created, we will have done something.

Confusion seems to exist as to what being against fascism might look like. There are dedicated left-wing groups fighting under the Antifa banner, leading some to think that being against fascism is purely a left vs right ideological divide. But it is not. Surely the only people who aren’t against fascism… are fascists?  This is not left wing vs right wing posturing but a fight everybody, be they conservative, liberal, centrist, apolitical or any other point on the political spectrum should surely support fully.

The culture of dance music that we know and love was born out of the struggles of marginalised and vulnerable communities across the world  - and those who assert politics does not belong in dance music are shamefully ignorant of this essential history.  Dance music as a culture would not exist as we know it shorn from that history.  The dynamics of struggle and celebration has always (and will always) run deep in the DNA of Dance.

AF Trax hopes to harness a tiny fraction of this dynamic, to honour that history, to provoke dialogue that is fundamentally anti-racist, anti-sexist, non-homophobic, non transphobic, non-ageist, non ableist & to question and breakdown the class divide.  In these current political times we all need to stand up and be counted, strive to challenge and dismantle the logic of the status quo with all of our might.

The label’s message is very simple. The far right ultimately wish for the destruction of our way of life and indeed the lives of many of the people we love. The message is love. The message is solidarity. The message is No Pasaran - They shall not pass. It is a call to stand together, it is a call to stand up, it is a call to ACT.  Individually we may be powerless, but together we are strong.  

If you're not outraged, you're not paying attention!

Artist: DZee
Title: Expired Lotion
Label: Tram Planet
Format: Cassette tape, Digital
Release date: 11/09/20

Club-fueled horsepower drives this 9-track ‘Cinnamon Behind the Wheel,’ as the Asheville-based producer DZee weaves together a collection of shapeshifting landscapes of euphoric breaks, gritty industrial rhythms, hypnotic-induced dub and UK rave stunners into a cross-pollination of both UK and US inspirations. As the cofounder and operator of TRAM Planet, DZee forges new frontiers for the label with this wild ride into pure dancefloor heat for all sound system terrains. 
Whether it’s the arpeggiated vocals in the rave anthem “Expired Lotion Aug 29,” the kinetic feedback beatdown of “Ho Ken Waa” or the electro breaks hybrid opener “Phantasy Rewind”—‘Cinnamon’ has as many shades of styles as it does bangers. But DZee flexes more than just versatility prowess here, as it clocks in at nearly 50 minutes, the release covers a masterful blend of wide range BPMs and seamless arrangement structures that run as smooth as the shifting gears of a high octane engine.
