We first heard LOU's music at the start of 2021, as he self released his feel good house tracks entitled 'Nature Tool' and 'Forest Void', which prompted us to get in touch with the young producer to request to premiere one of his next tracks, such was our love for his sound.

Hailing from the small town of Portarlington, Laois, LOU is a 23-year-old Irish DJ & producer, who like most, began his DJ career playing locally, running club nights and parties in his hometown, while playing raves and club nights across the Midlands. 

Upon arriving in NCAD for college in Dublin, he went on to create the NCADJ Society with fellow rave confederate Lorcan Rush, throwing regular 'anything goes' parties on campus and across venues in Dublin. This helped open the door for him to start playing solo at club nights in the city and beyond, featuring in spaces such as Hangar (R.I.P), Wigwam, Berlin D2, Button Factory and The Grand Social where he appeared alongside the likes of Or:la, Saoirse, Cromby & Long Island Sound to name just a few.

3 years ago, LOU made the decision to venture into production, using his spare time from college work to get to grips with Ableton. In December of 2019 he began releasing music and since the pandemic hit he has been using the lockdowns to hone in on his craft, experimenting with different styles and learning new techniques. His most recent productions have been of a house and breakbeat nature, taking influence from productions of the 90's and the more euphoric sounding modern day releases.

You can check out LOU's track 'Jowai Resort' which we premiere today via our SoundCloud. LOU has kindly given us this to us as a free download, so help yourself to a copy.

Ushering in their heavy-hitting TR4R alumni like Tommy Vicari Jnr, Hany, Florian, to name a few, the compilation covers all grounds of house, breaks, electro, techno and rave hysteria. From Salomo & Reece Walker´s electro opener to Slim Steve’s hazy techno house hybrid to Nørus & Dj Whipr Snipr’s high octane stepper, all the way to Øall Håtes’ closing acid thumper, the compilation is a testament to the breadth of TR4R’s eclectic and club leaning chunes over the years.

'About That' keeps this promise, providing fresh energies and melodies from Canse's unique repertoire of sounds that makes this an essential in any music-lover's catalogue.

*PREMIERE* Canse - Irregular Mood

The water was rising quickly now against the tall concrete wall which was designed to prevent the city from extinction. As the rain continued to fall it was hard to make out the stars which danced against a speckled black backdrop millions of miles away. Most people were locked up in doors, staying clear of the downpour and avoiding the cold temperatures. Not him. 

In the middle of the night he liked to walk around this old place. remembering what it was like before the first floods had rolled in. The endless land and hills which had unfolded before your very eyes now somewhere deep beneath the surface of a dense blue ocean. What had once stood tall, a town of industry, had become a Hydro City. Now it was time to rethink it all, to rip it up and start from scratch.

Hyas is a Lyon based producer and a resident at infamous nightclub Le Sucre. This latest EP charges into the deepest, cosmic roots of electro, channeling sounds from well beyond this world. It's fast paced, rugged and raw. Just the way we like it...

PREMIERE: Hyas - Hydrocity [Bardouin Music]

With his next LP titled 'Extacy' on the way in early summer 2023 - Swedish born, London based producer Hans Berg presents a forerunning single from the record which comes backed up with remixes from Efdemin and Psyk.

'Elevate' is an elastic, analogue piece which carries a distinctly live character. It's rubbery drums and warping tones are neatly packed into a beautifully structured rework from Efdemin which sets high-frequency sonics darting over a deep, oceanic bed.

The LP's opener 'Sky' blooms with its broad-stroking sweeps, metallic flickers and fractal FX. The Madrid based producer Psyk then takes these elements and puts them through a concrete mixer which results in altogether more marching and heavy tone.
