Artist: Quenum
Title: Change Time
Label: Rotary Phono Lab
Cat No: RPLAB008
Format: 12” Vinyl LP

Tracklist: 

A1. Change Time
A2. Blue Sky
A3. I Still Dream
A4. The World Hurts
A5. Always Close to You
B1. Made Voice
B2. Never Like Before
B3. Cinematic Kaos
B4. I Love My Garden
B5. I Can’t Stay Now


Between electronic shadows and cinematic textures, this new album from QUENUM draws its influences from the likes of Massive Attack, Archive, and Burial. Started and produced in London, it reflects a change of time — both in the climate and within.

This project represents a personal and artistic turning point for QUENUM. He wanted to experiment with new ideas, not necessarily music for the club. The album was created in close collaboration with his son Zac, a talented musician who contributed both as a singer and instrumentalist on several tracks. They shared wonderful moments creating this album together.

He also worked hand in hand with his long-time friend Christophe Calpini, who played a key role in mixing and in developing the textures and atmospheres that shape the album’s sound. The result is an intimate, personal, and timeless journey, deeply rooted in the now.

Quenum elaborates: “The idea for my album was born during Covid in London, when concerts, museums, and social activities suddenly stopped. To cope, I started running daily and spending hours in the studio creating music. In our garden cabin I worked alongside my son Zac who was practicing piano, preparing for his entry into Trinity Laban Conservatoire. He listened to my tracks, and eventually contributed vocals with his ex-partner on two songs, ‘Blue Sky’ and ‘Never Like Before’. The album’s dark atmosphere reflects that period. Once it was complete, I asked my longtime friend Christophe Calpini to handle arrangements and mixing.”

A true pioneer of electronic music, QUENUM has been shaping the global techno and house scene for over two decades. One of his most celebrated tracks, “Orange Mistake”, co-produced with Luciano in 2001, became a turning point in his career. The success of this collaboration led them to launch the legendary Cadenza label, which rapidly grew into one of the most recognisable and respected imprints in the scene, known for its vital releases and unforgettable parties worldwide.

Over the years, QUENUM has continued to explore new creative paths and refine his artistic identity, constantly reinventing his sound while maintaining his unique musical signature. His insatiable curiosity and openness to new influences have kept him consistently in demand, from intimate underground venues to the world’s most respected festivals and clubs.

For the last release of the year, we are back with our annual Various Artists welcoming on board 3 producers for their first appearance on the label and a very special track from Wedding Acid Group.

Opening the VA is a dear friend, Agostino Casillo (@agostinocasillo-1). “Midnight Bloom”, born from late-night studio sessions, captures that fleeting magic when ideas blossom in the dark. A groovy bassline drives the flow, while dreamy synths unfold a story made for the night."

Following our beloved WAG with “Jam Mash (Vass Edit)”. This track is very dear to us because it is the reason why we got in touch with the trio in the first place. Made in 2016 meanwhile preparing the live set for Sleepers at OHM in Berlin, it was included in the live set jam session that we previously released on tape. Somehow the file got missing till not so long ago when, luckily, they were able to find the stems and ,thanks to our friend Vass, edited to have the same version from the tape. One of the most iconic tracks ever made by WAG.

On the B side we welcome, Cesare Muraca (@cesarino-1) with “We Are Evil”, a dark but melodic techno journey, filled with hypnotic synths and haunting vocal fragments while the energy focus to the dancefloor.

Closing the ep in style Ambidextrous (@ambidextrous) with “Steamroller Maneuver”. It was produced before the pandemic and released on the album “Fifty Years Of October”. This vinyl version is a tribute to a long-lasting friendship with Aton. He played this track during is set at our party at Doka letting us so speechless that we had to released it on our label. Be ready for a trip full of introspective emotions.

art:cast °188 | Goodtunes97

Some mixes feel like a night out; others feel like paging through someone’s most private record shelf, each pull revealing a new side of the story. The latest art:cast, °188, leans toward the latter - an invitation into a world where groove, subtlety, and deep knowledge converge. Guiding us through that world is Dylan Rutledge, better known as Goodtunes97, one of the West Coast’s most respected diggers and selectors.

Dylan doesn’t just play records, he lives them: running the Goodtunes label, curating two recommendable YouTube channels, and circulating rare finds as both a collector and a seller. That broad perspective is etched into the DNA of his art:cast, which digs as deep as his crates do. It’s housey, minimal, and funky, laced with a laid-back Cali attitude that gradually tightens its grip as the mix evolves - building toward clubbier peaks, break-esque turns, and darker notes that give the ride its shape.

The result is simply what a mix should be: a journey of discovery, a shifting play of moods, and a reminder that the right records, in the right hands, can redraw the map of where we thought the night might go.

Artist: Silverlining
Title: Forgotten Chorus (i)
Label: Forgotten Chorus
Cat No: FnC001
Format: 12” Vinyl

Tracklist: 

A1. Folk Dust 
A2. Attuned To Detune 
B1. Salvaged Chimes (From the Rubble of Sound)


After a busy summer on the road, Silverlining launches Forgotten Chorus, a new imprint for deep, hypnotic and abstract body music. The idea was born at a festival, where low frequencies drifting through the natural filter of English woods prompted him to mentally fill the gaps of the higher registers. Three weeks later, he wrote ‘Salvaged Chimes (From the Rubble of Sound)’, an almost verbatim recreation of the track he’d imagined. For Silverlining, this moment of embracing discarded sound became emblematic of how overlooked voices, such as those of the oppressed and forgotten, can still resonate if we choose to listen differently.

This concept led to experimentation with flint-knapper John Lord and conceptual artist Antonia Beard, whose recordings he sampled of the ancient practice of striking flint, humanity's first technology. Those sounds were then cut and made into all the instruments, save for the TR-909, that comprise 'Attuned To Detune'. The EP’s lead track, ‘Folk Dust’, pushes high-tempo breakbeats through Silverlining’s own lens on UK broken techno, balancing raw energy with ethereal melodies.

Forgotten Chorus seeks to celebrate the beauty in sounds and stories that fall outside the dominant narrative. Its debut release, a fast-paced, three-track techno EP by Silverlining, embodies this spirit and marks another step in his evolving exploration of new sonic ground.
