Bristol’s Remotif makes his highly-awaited debut on space•lab with his wormhole of a new EP, ‘Substation Fever’. Kicking things off on the A side, the title track enters the scene with spacious, organic drums, building in energy as we tunnel through its course; travelling from the cool, oxygenated air of a forest-scape into dazzling, far-reaching intergalactic realms. 

Next up, ‘Substation Fever’ gets a dreamy reimagining courtesy of Leeds legend and space•lab regular, Adam Pits. Channelling the energy of Remotif’s original into a hazy, blissed-out cloudscape, this track was made for accompanying early morning sunrises where orange-hued dashes of light reflect off the surface of gently rippling water. 

On the flip side, ‘Hi Tek Lo Life’, crackles with the fluctuating electrical impulses of a TV without signal or a radio between channels. Flecked with corroded vocal samples and billowing synthlines, this is a track that explores the inbetween - the moment when connection is almost lost, but not quite. There is a beauty in the roughened-edges of these partially obscured details. 

The final track of the EP, ‘The Signal Prevails’ is perhaps an answer to its precursor. Opening out onto trip-hop-esque terrain, this track follows the path set out by a blurred-out, echoing vocal as it deftly works its way through narrow, winding pathways of powerful 90s-style breaks. 

A much-loved DJ regularly making an appearance on space•lab’s lineups, we are delighted to now showcase Remotif’s skill in the studio with this mind-opening new EP.

On 'I Like Your Bitcoin EP' by Lithuanian producer Pletnev, we’ve got four tracks bristling with hypnotic rhythms and driving basslines. Each track is infused with warm and bouncy groove, punchy drum programming with a sprinkling of Pletnev's signature EFX and unique one shots.

On space•lab 013, Pletnev continues to push the boundaries, solidifying his reputation as one of the most exciting new producers on the scene.

Après avoir joué des disques de Boards of Canada et Laurent Garnier pendant plusieurs années, Lensüb rejoint Phonosphere en 2017, puis Progessive Connexion en 2024. À l’image du set qu’il nous propose ici, il aime naviguer au sein du large spectre de la musique électronique. De la disco-house, à la trance, en passant par la ghetto, la route est imprévisible et l’arrivée pas moins surprenante. Une expérience auditive résolument dépaysante à vivre loin des carcans de genres habituels.

After dropping tracks from Boards of Canada and Laurent Garnier for years, Lensüb linked up with Phonosphere in 2017, and then locked in with Progessive Connexion in 2024. Just like the set he’s laying down here, he loves to ride through the wide spectrum of electronic sounds. From disco-house to trance, and straight-up ghetto, the journey’s unpredictable, and the destination’s always full of surprises. It’s a wild, mind-bending sound experience, breaking free from all those usual genre boundaries.

"Signal Deluxe is Valeria & Jerga, 2 Mexican artists and true pioneers of the Mexican electronic scene.

“The kind of impact and influence that their legacy has left in the Mexican underground scene is hard to measure”.



With different musical journeys they met behind the decks in the year 2005 and started playing records together and producing music under the name Signal Deluxe.

This 2 Mexican sound renegades have been involved in the underground scene for the past 20 + years doing many different projects within different styles and formats, mythical dj sets, 

world touring live acts, vinyl imprints and many other forms of analogue and digital self expression. 

Since 2005 they started travelling together to Berlin and finding refuge in the artistic freedom of this city, playing in all main clubs around town and travelling to festivals and clubs around Europe. 

With residencies at clubs like Golden Gate and the mythical Bar25.



Valeria / Lila D. / Echowoman was one of the first Mexican female artists to play around Europe and release her music on labels around the world. (2005) 

Her musical journey has definitely broke down some doors and paved the way in the Mexican underground scene for female artists, considered by many a tour de force in the Mexican electronica.



Jerga is one of the first Mexican electronic artists to get booked in Europe in places like Fusion Festival, Nation of Gondwana, Tresor, Bar25, Volksbuhne Berlin. (2000-2005)

His record shop “Groovadelia” in Mexico City 1996-1999, was a spearhead in the scene bringing to life the breakbeat culture in Mexico City and being a hub for all things Rave!"

PREMIERE: Signal Deluxe - Silver Haze [Pleasure Promise]

Emiliano Kolkowski aka Kolko, es un DJ y productor musical originario de Buenos Aires. Inició su carrera musical mientras exploraba una variedad de géneros, como el post-punk, new beat y la música con sintetizadores, además de sumergirse en la contracultura de la escena rave. 
En 2019 se trasladó a Barcelona, donde ha continuado su camino artístico como productor, deejay y participado activamente en la cultura electrónica de la ciudad siendo miembro del colectivo B-Plastic y curador de propuestas artísticas en su espacio autogestionado: REFLEJO 44. Ha pinchado en varios locales de la ciudad, como Moog, Otto Zutz, Slow Club, Sala Recreo, Mint Bar y Absenta. Sus sesiones y producciones suelen combinar sonidos profundos, una rica variedad de texturas y ritmos poderosos que desatan energía y estimulan la mente. 
Así nos describe su experiencia preparando este precioso mix:  “Lo grabé un domingo, temprano. Había intentado grabar algo pero no me convencía o terminaba de gustar. Decidí cortar luego de dar una vuelta por Poblenou y tomar un café,  así que surgió por frustración. Busqué algo más hipnótico, deep. Seleccioné tracks con texturas más oscuras pero jugando entre la percusión y lo trance, sin subir demasiado la intensidad ni la sensación de velocidad. Creo que ese es mi mood los domingos.”

Disfruta del viaje.

TILECT with #17 Kolko

This second instinctive journey dives deep into the realm of progressive and hypnotic soundscapes, capturing the essence of trance in its darker and more enigmatic form. 

Let the music guide you into a path of mysterious and captivating bliss, from Deviant Electronics and Dimension 5 to wizard of the moment Priori, through Goasia, and more brain-messing material.
