Celebrating not just Ryan Elliott’s faith in a vital new generation of producers and DJs, but five years of his own meticulously curated Faith Beat imprint, ‘Have Faith’ is a bold new chapter for the Panorama Bar veteran. Before relocating to Berlin, Elliott cut his teeth spinning Detroit, so he pays it forward on this 34-track compilation, shining a dazzling spotlight on the local scenes and breaking new artists that promise to keep American dance music moving as it lurches towards a new era. When he was based in the US, Elliott realized how distant Europe felt for homegrown artists – not just philosophically, but physically. Two years ago, he set about excavating the US’s underground architecture, pooling contacts and tracks, and urging his wide network of friends to send over their best recommendations. The compilation coalesced organically, and pulls together a diverse canon of producers, offering them the global exposure they urgently need. Eighty percent of the tracks are from up-and-coming US-based artists from the Midwest and beyond, so with the 10th release on his label, Elliott lays down a glimpse of a possible future of underground house and techno that counters the scene’s contemporary Eurocentricity. This music was born in the US, and its evolution might still be in American hands.

Mono Junk only loosely uses techno as a foundation for exploration of various different forms on this new EP on Cold Blow. The opener has jacked-up beats with an electro feel and prying bass that brings great bounce. 'Gamma' is brilliantly dark and moody with domineering synth notes and shuffling hi-hats getting heads down and feet marching. Katerina's Mind mix of the opener then opens it up into a more expansive and widescreen synth world and the Sansibar is pure muscular rhythm.

Spectral Bounce’s fifth instalment comes courtesy of L.A.’s rave archivist and dancefloor operative Dreams, A.K.A. Jesse Pimenta. Throughout his decade-long career the California native has inspected, dissected and concocted all manner of dance musics, leaving his mark with drops on Apron Records, Pinkman, BANK NYC and his own imprint Dance Data. On SPEC05 — Dangerous When Wet — he hijacks the synapses with 4 accomplished productions, plotting a high BPM course through manifold styles using the raw aesthetic that characterises his output.

“Losing Control” is a frenetic dancefloor invitation, immediately locking into a pacing groove. Beneath wild hand drums, Dreams plays with an insistent 303 bassline alternating between rasping buzz and oily squelch, while stern vocals are layered on top of breaks that have been processed to a viscerally satisfying end.

Taking things from delirious dance circle to underwater biosphere, the EP’s eponymous track explores a submerged 1980s Miami. Weighty & enveloping, “Dangerous When Wet” is pure aquatic pop-n-lock — hydraulic electro for a drowned world. Ocean floor caustics are transmuted into auditory form: arpeggios bubble up; drones shimmer mystically; hi-hats hiss like air from an open valve. Amongst the sonar bleeps, a barrage of pummeling low-end is sure to give subwoofers a workout.

“XTC Messenger” delivers an infectious paranoid dispatch, astutely balancing the sensual with the deranged. A slow-mo dial tone unfolds languidly, running counter to nervously twitching high frequencies. Its punchy percussion is tuned for maximum dopamine release; the track’s abrupt vocal chops and mechanical kick-snare pulsation evoke the leather jackets and jagged edges of 1980s industrial discotheque.

“Pressure Points” closes the EP on a heady and mesmerising polymetric trip. The parting track is a lithe yet spacious number, propelled by a rattling break. Here Dreams follows from track 2, creating an immersive environment in which sounds tightly twist and twirl. Shifting oscillators call out like tiny creatures as the bass throbs and wriggles further into your brain, long after the needle hits the runout groove.

Dreams - Dangerous When Wet (SPEC05) | Snippets

For our ninth release, we present "Awakened G", Gbar’s debut LP. Nine functional, dancefloor-driven cuts blending relentless groove with deep, heads-down psychedelia.

Gbar balances introspective depth with raw form, delivering a tripped-out journey that takes listeners deeper into the groove with each beat. A proper nod to the dancers before us, this LP captures the spiritual essence of the free party, now making its way to this year’s festival circuit.

Caldera puts his stamp on “Spiral of the Last Light,” pushing it further into the subby low-end depths while adding the perfect touch of warmth and glow, completing the final chapter of "Awakened G".

*PREMIERE* Salut 80 - Abyssal Data Code

Jacques Satre is one of those rare artists we can truly call a mindchanger — a taste shaper whose work changes the way we listen. Electric Shapes has always had a strong connection with the French scene, and Jacques perfectly embodies its forward-thinking spirit.

From his La Marais release to the remarkable music he’s shared on Worst Records, Jacques has consistently delivered sounds that astonish and inspire. His artistry first crossed paths with Electric Shapes through La Marais, an album that blew our minds from the first listen. Naturally, we invited him for a podcast — as we often do with artists who inspire us — and his openness, vision, and thoughtful perspective only deepened our respect for his work.

Most recently, Jacques unveiled a transcendent and spiritual album on Éditentités, roaming the psychedelic landscapes of dance music with the patience of a craftsman and the soul of a storyteller — blending acoustic instruments, precise production, and a borderless musical vision. 

It was a huge honor for us to invite Jacques to be part of our very first vinyl release. Without hesitation, he agreed and delivered a killer remix of Kalocain’s Genetic Memory, setting a powerful tone for what was to come.

Later, he joined the 5th edition of Unreleased Territory and now, with no doubt in our minds, we are adding him to this special edition of Unreleased Territory. Combining his masterful production with his easy-going communication and open-minded artistic approach, every collaboration with Jacques is an unforgettable journey.

SON OF YESHUA


🌌 [CYBERLIFE.EXE] — a journey through neon lights, glitches, and digital melancholy.
Here, Synthwave nostalgia from the 80s collides with the cold pulse of Cyberwave, wrapped in the warm textures of Lo-Fi that soothe the noise of endless cities.

This is music for midnight streets, empty highways, and the glow of windows flickering in sync with your thoughts.
It’s where the past blends with the future, and emotions transform into digital code.

✨ Atmosphere:

neon synths glowing like city lights in the night;

deep bass, echoing like the heartbeat of a machine;

glitch effects dissolving reality into streams of data;

melancholic melodies leaving the aftertaste of nostalgia.

⚡ [CYBERLIFE.EXE] — more than music. It’s the soundtrack to a world where you choose: to be a wanderer in the neon haze or the hero of your own cyber story.
