@ruubenslade: DJ Dogg & Furious Frank on Butter Sessions 009 ! \

He watched from his balcony, gazing as the water moved slowly inwards as the sun set in the distance. It were as if the world had fallen asleep, there was nothing but the sound of the woods and the trees around him as he gazed out upon the shimmering ocean. 

The tides under the moonlight were a beautiful thing - they operated under their own timeline, moving in and out in line with the circadian rhythms of a chaotic world. Yet still, they resembled peace. 

He retired to bed, dreaming of the world beyond the window. 

Sam Goku is set to release a new EP on Dekmantel, it is a tour de force of a record demonstrating a deep knowledge of ethereal dance music as he balances the sensibilities of Trance and Techno with careful precision.

The album was crafted with the goal of delivering intuitive rhythms and energy that make your body react instantly.

Each track focuses on pure movement and groove rather than complex narratives. Solid beats and various sound elements blend harmoniously, drawing listeners directly onto the dance floor without hesitation.

PREMIERE : Mignon - Let It Slide

Mysterious Bristol based Rali Pibs, carves out 6 stunning tracks, undefinable in the left-field. File under Industrial-Synesthetic-Amnesia. “U Paradise” is a solid mix of atmospheric chugging, primal, bold and abrasive yet textured, rich and full of emotion. Outsider music with a hint of pop edge that is sure enough to make heads twist on the dance-floor (tried and tested). If you don’t believe us stick Shaka on in the club and see what happens. Weirdo music with a cosmic and emotive tinge that we love at the inc.

al dente & explicit joy - Motion Activated (NCRANK02)

On Butter Sessions, Iti presents Colourful Choices, a collision of vivid synth melodies and fractured drum rhythms. The title nods to the multicoloured lights and patch cables of his synths - the primary source of the record's motifs.

The EP opens with the title track Colourful Choices, beginning with a shimmering string-synth that bends and twists into a playful, colourful melody. It's joined by a punchy drum-machine rhythm before descending into a gritty, driving bassline. Exit shifts the energy with garage-electro edge, its weighty low-end anchoring robotic synth stabs before erupting into a heavy 2-step breakdown. Lost in a Tangent moves into more intricate terrain, pairing rolling skin-drum percussion with snappy breakbeats and a saturated chord melody. The EP concludes with Ampersand, where a fragmented lead-line meets a driving four-to-the-floor rhythm section, crafting a shadowy club sound that emerges into moments of euphoria.

In an era of highly-polished production, Colourful Choices sees Iti emerge as a producer unafraid to harness raw sound, delivering music that is tactile, striking, and entirely his own.

A collision of rave outsiders: Morris’s unlikely pop mystique meets Gramrcy and Loveless on the FWD dancefloor… lnk.to/GJLPH149

In Berlin where the bassweight bubbles bright, Lived Gramrcy and John Loveless, deviant and polite, They stirred a pressure-cooker full of electroclash stew, With ISDN-line scramble and a hint of something new.

“Oh!” cried Tony Morris (former teacher, taxi man), “I’ll hypnotize with repetitions, catch me if you can! I’m Scotland’s most unlikely pop sensation, don’t you see? A cult figure cabaret, as deviant as can be!”

They mixed it up on Phantasy Sound with textural delight, The earworming anchor bobbed and bounced all through the night, From FWD-era gumption to the disco esoteric, They created ‘Lucid’ madness, quite atmospheric!

The festival-rupturing Highdive had ruptured long before, Now ‘Feel So’ tipped the scales toward the ecstatic dance floor, With post-punk percussion prancing, hi-NRG in tow, From Chicago down to Rimini, watch the bassline grow!

Said Peggy Gou and Daniel Avery, “What a splendid sound!” While 2ManyDJs spun it ’round and ’round and ’round, And Moschino’s models strutted to the supreme release, As rave outsiders intersected in their bubbling masterpiece!

So if you seek the throbbing beat of something deeply odd, Find Gramrcy and John Loveless – that peculiar duo’s squad With Tony Morris chanting in his late-sixties prime, Making lucid nonsense music, one earworm at a time!

Three years after their all conquering ‘Highdive’, Gramrcy and John Loveless return to Phantasy with ‘Lucid’, a pressure-cooker of FWD-era bassweight and electroclash scramble anchored by the hypnotic vocals of Tony Morris.

PREMIERE: Gramrcy & John Loveless  - Lucid feat. Tony Morris [Phantasy Sound]

In a landscape saturated with maximalist gestures and instant gratification, Not Even Noticed operate in the periphery — a project whose very name speaks to its ethos. The Frankfurt–Leipzig duo have been quietly sculpting a sonic language of restraint and intention since emerging in the early 2020s, threading broken rhythms, trance-infused atmospheres, and acid-washed details into music that rewards patience and deep listening. Their productions don’t clamor for attention; they invite it, revealing hidden layers only to those willing to lean in.

Their latest chapter, the Eteus EP, released this summer on LA’s visionary Fast At Work imprint, is perhaps their most refined statement yet. Drawing on the myth of Eteus — a figure of light and knowledge — the record explores the delicate tension between weight and weightlessness, minimal form and maximal emotion. Across four originals and two masterful remixes from K-Lone and Maara, Not Even Noticed map a territory where low-swung basslines pulse like a heartbeat beneath vaporous melodies, and whispered vocals guide the listener toward ecstatic release. It’s a transmission you feel as much as you hear, a document of artists expanding their craft while remaining faithful to their understated pulse.

To accompany our conversation, the duo have prepared an exclusive mix for Bolting Bits’ MIXED BY series — a glimpse into their current orbit, stitched together with the same care and subtlety that defines their studio work. In the interview that follows, we dive into the mythic inspirations and meticulous processes behind Eteus, the evolution of their collaboration, and the philosophies driving one of electronic music’s most quietly compelling acts.

Sonic explorers, label heads, pillars of the Melbourne/Naarm underground, Sleep D explore the rave unconscious - driving rhythms, hypnotic bass, worlds of echo and the hazy bliss of the morning after. Childhood friends with Iraqi and Maltese lineage, the duo and their legacy building Butter Sessions label have ushered in a new era, sensibility and productivity to the city that raised them.

A defiantly DIY two-man assembly line, Maryos Syawish and Corey Kikos have issued a steady stream of diverse records on their own imprint, as well as on like-minded international outposts Incienso, Planet Euphorique and Cocktail d'Amore. Releasing ‘Rebel Force’ in 2019 and ‘Electronic Arts’ in 2023, their albums bind a singular take on mutated house, bush doof, dub techno and downtempo, while their composition and production capacity has also been augmented via 2021’s chamber orchestra collaboration ‘Flashed Glass’ and the rescored film soundtracks for ‘Eraserhead’ and ‘Pan’s Labyrinth’.

With long-standing DJ residencies and an ever evolving live show fit for both clubs and vast paddocks, the dexterous duo’s alchemy has energised hordes across the US, UK, Europe, Asia and Australia.
