Taken from kodiki's debut album 'Your Excellence' (G&P029), out April 27, 2025

24 years old, the self-proclaimed 'clothed and courageous' kodiki definitely is one of the most promising artists to emerge from (not only) the Slovakian electronic scene in recent years. First and foremost, the jovial and ever-kinetic enigma is a producer, model, and performer known for his engaging stage presence that feels more like a performative adrenaline rush than a standard guy+laptop situation. After self-releasing a couple of singles, including '300dB' and the 'Muliebre' EP, he later doubled up with a well-received '600dB' EP, all while being busy playing prominent triple-A festivals as well as off-the-grid ratholes.
While live, kodiki's signature animated self-puppetry embodies the sound itself to the extent that it becomes an inseparable part of his real-time sonic narration. Highly recommended to catch him live with his highly anticipated debut album, which Gin&Platonic is now honored to present.

Right from the start, the airy longplay welcomes us with flappy open arms and pours over us with precise sound design and high-octane rhythms, leaving you with a grin from ear to ear. In Your Excellence, every beat dares to be both pristine and primal. Each one fabricates a pulse-pounding joyride through sun-faded ambience, perpetually veering from trancey euphoria into glitchy chaos and all the way back. It is sleek but always one slip away from getting messy – an intentional collision of composition that makes for an exhilarating listen as kodiki flexes some plot-twisting hard skills and masterfully builds and teases with the momentum of a surprise seismic catharsis.
Closely tightened with body movement, the album flows with an admitted spontaneity, as kodiki’s production is distinguished by a certain human touch that electronic music, with its often mechanical approach, frequently lacks. Your excellence, the tea is SERVED.

BetterDaze, St.Ego - Stranger (Intro Mix) [3rd Avenue]

dru-1 - preshuh
Label: Infinite Machine
CAT#: IM118
Format: Digital
Release Date: April 25th, 2025

dru-1's "preshuh" was composed in the artist's home of Trinidad during Carnival of 2024. Reflecting on the experiences and influences that shaped the record, UK-based artist Drew Lovett recalls inviting friends to stay with their family during the festivities, experiencing overproof rum, pan bands, card games, and doubles. Community and a celebration of sociality seem to shimmer through the EP's bass-ridden tracks, evident not-least in the prominent sound bites and vocals recorded on-site from those close to the artist during the Carnival.

The project unfolds across six tracks, each composition draped in FM synthesis and layered over gritty basslines. "preshuh" builds upon the

vision realized in the artist's debut project, a 4-track EP released on Why Be's Yegorka in 2024. This record punches with more technical precision, making a mature statement that feels cohesive and intentional, while retaining its playful essence. Lovett collaborates with Marta Rosa on percussion for the final three tracks—"maco queen," "palance," and "a4s."

Despite its moody basslines and clear roots in the UK club scene and Hard Drum, Lovett's EP is infused with a spirit of optimism and revelry. The EP opens with echoes of "toma!" and other indistinct cries, as timbale taps gradually build alongside jerky basslines in "diastema." The subsequent track "corbeaux," takes a more atmospheric approach, leaning further into lush melody progressions. Breath-like chirps fade in and out of the mix, allowing different melodic and percussive elements to shine at various moments. "Libido" calls the listeners to commune on the dancefloor, led by a steady four-on-the- floor rhythm. The hypnotic chant, "We come together," repeats with quiet assurance, woven through a backdrop of filtered basslines and dissonance. Crunchy, sputtering synths wind in and out of the soundscape, teasing a sense of chaos and rapture, grounded by the

steady rhythm beneath. In "maco queen," the record seems to reach a point of climax; jittering bass sounds overtake the atmosphere immediately. "Hey!" and "Ha!" shout over the flurries, punctuating the frenzy, while intricate low-end patterns and hand drums introduce moments of organic warmth. Percussive taps and clinks imagine an impromptu gathering of people jamming together. Here, Lovett seems to call us to let loose, to shout, to dance, to revel in excitement. The fifth track, "palance" unfolds over a steady four-on-the-floor rhythm, with intertwining synth lines that emerge and recede unpredictably, engaging in a dynamic interplay akin to an animated conversation among close friends. The EP concludes with "a4s," a vibrant, infused with Soca and Dembow breaks track that brings key elements from earlier songs—vocals, claps, and heavy basslines—crafting a dynamic yet cohesive finale.

Experienced in full, Lovett's EP is a call to togetherness—a sonic invitation to gather, move, and celebrate without restraint. Infused with the frenetic energy of the carnival where it was conceived, the project unapologetically embraces the dancefloor, urging bodies into motion, and spirits into communion. Beneath its pulsating rhythms lies

a deeper longing—not just for revelry, but for connection. In a world still relearning the rhythms of closeness, it asks: How do we rebuild the spaces where joy and community once thrived?

Shelter presents “Aveen” — the third installation in our genre-agnostic compilation series.

To follow up 2023’s “Feyrûse” and 2024’s “Mizgîn”, we have curated an emotionally charged collection of 17 tracks that press against the debilitating realities of life in the mid-2020s. The title stems from a Persian word meaning “pure” or “transparent” — signaling a search for unfiltered and sincere artistic expression in the midst of a social climate filled with smoke and mirrors.

“Aveen” features Shelter’s most international line-up to date, with music from 18 artists spread across 13 countries and 5 continents displaying their signature sounds shaped by their local scenes and cultures. 

Flowing through mutated shades of ambient, hypnagogic pop, trance, leftfield techno, neo-perreo, and GQOM — the compilation connects the myriad influences and mind-states of electronic musicians from nearly every corner of the world and tethers them together into a cathartic 17-track excursion.

Exploited Body - Helix / Unravel

Exploited Body takes it back to the club with their latest two-track offering 'Helix / Unravel' - a pairing, that meshes the intensity you've come to expect, with newfound high-speed break experimentations.

'Helix' is a spiralling fever dream, with drums of tungsten skitter through the blaring sirens and posessed screeches, showing no signs of slowing down. 'Unravel' is deliverance, release. Incorporeal voices echo through the cracks of the ferocious drums, eventually submitting to the soaring, euphoric synths signalling the escape from the cycle.

’Helix / Unravel’ is out now via Changeless!

Written, produced, mixed & mastered by Nori Kin.
