"Gravity’s Embrace" is a hauntingly beautiful instrumental that captures the delicate tension between weightlessness and surrender. The track opens with spacious, echoing tones—like drifting through the upper atmosphere—before gradually pulling the listener downward into a denser, more emotionally charged soundscape. Deep basslines and slow, immersive rhythms create a sense of descent, as if being gently drawn into something inevitable and vast. Ethereal textures swirl above grounding elements, evoking the push and pull of inner conflict, love, or fate. "Gravity’s Embrace" doesn’t just move—it pulls you in.

X-IZE presents its debut V/A compilation - Music For Strange Creatures.

Showcasing the diversity of electronic music, the label introduces a collection of nine tracks, each reflecting the independent character and approach of its creator. Melodic and rhythmic, tense and deep - these works set the tone for X-IZE direction and reveal its artistic vision.

This compilation is a statement, capturing the layered nature of the modern club scene. X-IZE begins its journey by offering not a linear path, but a kaleidoscope of genres, emotions, and states. At the heart of it all lies a deep love for rave as a unifying force.

There was a voice in his head, it subjected him to torment and trouble.

Each waking moment held the potential for judgement and conviction. As he pondered the city streets he began to think that he might never escape from the bitter peril and the magic lights which flashed, blinked and danced between his flickering eyes. The cloak of darkness concealed it all but hopefully soon he would be free...

Anonymous producer Kilig (@kiligsounds) debuts on Scuffed Recordings with the ‘Dream Logic’ EP, fusing together elements of UK-influenced techno, minimal, ambient and industrial.

The ‘Dream Logic’ EP is the latest in a string of releases from London’s Kilig, who has turned heads of late with DJ support from the likes of Ben UFO, Call Super, Saoirse, and Midland, and radio plays on BBC Radio 1, 6 Music, and the Introducing Hot List.

From the intricate sound design and melodic flourishes of the title track, to the percussive depth charge of ‘Ape’, to the imaginative vocal cuts and minimal throb of closer ‘I’m Trying’, the release is a journey through Kilig’s eclectic production style, honed as a resident of London’s Night Tales and Bristol’s HOMEBREW parties.

Out September 25th:
