Gent1e $oul keeps evolving his dancefloor meta with "Block Printing '', the latest EP on Fast Castle. This DLC consists of 5 stripped down, effective takes on UK Bass, Dubstep, Grime and Baile - excellent for outright late game domination. The vinyl comes in hand-crafted sleeves produced in an ancient woodblock printing method on a manually operated, pre-industrialisation printing press.

Sonically, Gent1e $oul further distills his style by fusing different sonic spheres and bass music styles across “Block Printing''s chapters: Profoundly effective 4-bar grime meets transparent electro breaks on “Heated Shot”, with it’s hi-tek sounds forcing early reactions from the floor. “Siege Ram” is a techno x steppers crossover that packs the punch to keep your opponents stuck in the dark ages forever. “Untitled” channels baile cues into a rigid, progressive club cut, while the B-Side offers a UK Techno meets dembow deepness with “Fortified Walls”. Rounding off the proceedings, Rolex3k makes here exec. producer debut with a feature on “Turtle Ship”, a deeper-than-deep dub stepper.

"Block Printing"’s cover, conceived by Fast Castle’s visual mastermind Jonas, depicts an emblematic circle monograph hinting to prehistoric scenes and ancient legends. Special care went into the production of the DIY-printed record sleeves: Individually crafted on an ancient 1820s mechanical press and printed in a block printing-like technique from a laser cut wood negative, each of the edition-of-200 vinyl copies is a one-of-a-kind artifact to worship and rinse repeatedly.

Very special shout outs to Jonas from 200 Kilo on this one conceiving and realizing our most ambitious artwork project to date. Also, out to Scape Mastering for the sound optimization and RWDFWD and DnP for international distro services!

Impurity emerges from the shadows and makes his presence felt with Matsutake, an intricate, dynamic, and constantly evolving journey through the darker recesses of electronic music. Comprised of four LSD-soaked shots of experimental and industrial-leaning bass and dubstep, Matsutake slowly unfolds to reveal a complex anatomy of sound that strives to form a symbiotic relationship with the listener. 

Matsutake is a rich study of dance music and its many facets. A thought-provoking collection of contemporary music that stands out as Impurity’s most mature and accomplished work to date.

Ascension is about moving our consciousness from one reality to another. Since reality is a dimension, what we are undertaking is essentially a full dimensional shift.

Croatian dj/producer Iggy Dope launched his record label with a versatile V/A compilation featuring 8th international and inter-generational talents from different corners of the genre spectrum and scenes (Italy, USA, Austria, Germany, UK).

The inaugural compilation by Etherwerkz is packed with high-vibrational bass-heavy club music from friends and faves, setting the tone for the Etherwerkz genre-free sound and vision, from etherial experiments heard in the intro by Weightausend, peak time tech-uk funky by Xen Chron, hi-tek hood electro from Soular-Dj Phiene and User Delusion, through bass bangers from Toupaz and Lindenberg Support wrapping it up with 160 bpm tekkerz by Johnny Megabyte and Dj Balance.

Dawn Razor and Archetech, two friends and two-thirds of the once-active trio Sonnen Blumen Kerne, have collaborated to deliver an album of tracks previously released exclusively on vinyl through Dawn Razor’s NARA Records. When Lobster Theremin ceased operations, the stock of these releases was lost, leaving only brief preview snippets online.

Adam approached HOMAGE with the story and shared the tunes with us. Moved by the situation, we decided to release all of the tracks as a retrospective album. Thus, 'Half Life' was born—a collection of 10 tracks that blur the boundaries between slammin' electro, breakbeat, and mutated bass, all with a minimalist edge.

'Half Life' will be available to stream and download from May 17th, 2024.
