A1-The Answer-Snippet

Emerging from the Romanian scene back around ten years ago as an accomplished DJ and producer, Bucharest's Funk E has been on a circuitous path since then, taking in gigs all over the globe as well as a residency at Underground in Ibiza. 

Despite releasing on a number of prominent labels, he's always kept a pretty small footprint; focusing on quality rather than pumping out a stream of tracks and mixes.  This one is no different and hints at an artist who's been steadily refining their craft.  In it you can hear the evolution of his sound; clearly with one foot in the Romanian landscape in which he cut his teeth but possessing an uncommon sophistication and depth.

You will be missed greatly dear, may you be in a better place of eternal peace and Samadhi

exclusive | Jesse You - Orbis | Walls And Pals

The renowned label Walls And Pals returns with a new split EP series, featuring its co-founders Mogwaa and Jesse You. Known for their distinct styles and innovative soundscapes, this latest release continues to push boundaries. While Mogwaa commands the A side with a minimal yet progressive electro touch, Jesse You takes control over the B side of the record. Particularly noteworthy is the B1, "Orbis," which showcases Jesse You’s talent for creating immersive dancefloor experiences.

"Orbis" is a raw, electro-infused track that is both gritty and hypnotic. From the very beginning, it hooks the listener with its robust, floor-shaking beats. The track's foundation is built on an unwavering rhythm that feels designed to reverberate through the walls of dark, intimate clubs. Jesse You expertly weaves in acidic bleeps and spare, haunting vocals that add layers of complexity and depth to the track. The result is a sound that is both nostalgic, nodding to the 2000s acid era, and refreshingly contemporary.

The true magic of "Orbis" lies in its ability to create a sense of hypnotic euphoria. The synth-line, intriguing in its simplicity and classiness, spirals through the track, creating an almost otherworldly atmosphere. It’s a track that invites listeners to lose themselves in its soundscape, encouraging a kind of collective dancefloor trance. The minimalist approach to vocals ensures that they serve more as an additional instrument rather than a focal point, enhancing the overall hypnotic quality.

In conclusion, Jesse You's "Orbis" is a standout track on the latest Walls And Pals release. It captures the essence of what makes the label so special: a commitment to pushing sonic boundaries while respecting the roots of electronic music. "Orbis" is a raw, powerful dancefloor track that promises to become a staple in the sets of DJs who aim to create a deep, euphoric connection with their audience. It is a testament to Jesse You's prowess as a producer and a tantalizing glimpse of what Walls And Pals has in store for the future.

We proudly announce the first Radio Karnak by our mentor messiah Jonny Rock. It’s a live recording from our label showcase at cdv this summer, probably one of our best day and night parties. A special sunny Tuesday in Berlin where Jonny opened and hypnotized the dancefloor for 8h ***

Criminal Issues steps up with Death of Funk EP, a four-track statement of intent that blurs the lines between past, present, and future. As one half of Criminal System, the mighty brasileiro knows exactly how to craft timeless house—built to last, made to move.

From the tense drive of Access Denied to the restless funk of the title track, through the neon-lit glide of Sonic Drive and the euphoric nostalgia of Stuck in the 2000, this is high-utility club music at its finest. No fillers, no gimmicks—just four cuts designed for selectors who want records they can rinse forever, morning, noon, or night.

Criminal Issues is pure talent at point blank range.

Release June/July 2025
@metallicstates

AV1 is the new project of Chris Carrier & Le Loup. With countless releases under their belts, the parisian producers are long time heroes of many around the globe. It’s an honor to welcome these two with a release that merges the different sounds they listened over their long-spanning careers. From trancy tech house, to dark techno beats and a more slowed-down electroish piece on the B-Side, here is a first solid appearance on the label as a duo. Are they done with us? Probably not.

SPANDREL003 presale is up for grabs via Yoyaku

Shyam Anand’s Spandrel project proceeds according to plan with a third EP of crackin’, techy, hypnotic house. Get Mesmerized references the more stripped and steppin’ influences of the artist otherwise known as Snad. Chopped and freaked vocal samples soar overhead, synth-savant leads get up-front-and-personal, chunky rhythmatics do the dirty work and hi-rez (and high-resonance!) basslines worm out your bassbins leaving a trail of neon goo in their wake. Brought to you with love from a singular house hustler, lock in for a 4D audiovisual experience unfolding across the stereo field continuum.
