These improvisations capture the solitary intensity found after a long night at the club, based on visits to Rex Club when Chu lived in Paris in 2011. 'In Paris' reflects an experience after music, feelings when you trudge out of the club alone only to face a chilly and drizzly morning. It's achy and hungry, but your mind swells with ephemeral poignancy. You know that your feelings which seem so deep will later turn out trivial or lost, but this powerful stirring is one of the truly awesome gifts of the club because it keeps minds open. These sacred moments happen in the grey of early morning. The rest of society is alien and preset, as you deal with lingering intoxication.

For ten years, Chu has dreamed of recording this experience. Over sixteen tracks, he deconstructs a commercial house earworm into fragments and echos the impressionist history of France.

Mark Bo Chu is a multidisciplinary artist who exhibits paintings, writes and engages in scientific research. Many of his paintings depict scenes from dance music, and his research engages in multimodality, the study of how different senses and representations work together. Chu is an accomplished pianist, having recorded with the MSO and WASO as a soloist in his adolescence. Chu is also a past reviewer for The Good Food Guide.

Mark Bo Chu - Tinnitus leaving Rex Club

Buy link: https://spinningaround.bandcamp.com/album/overexposure

Melbourne breaksmonger Ekzander returns with the new EP Overexposure that goes from manic to monstrous. He comes in the company of fantastic creatures with remixes by Fairie (Melbourne), Mincy (Sydney, Extra Spicy) and Sam Alfred (Melbourne).

Hypnobody vibrates and draws you in with a magnetic contrast. Soaked vocals and melancholic chords bring in the rain over twitching bass and heavy breaks. A metaphor for the struggle between fear and yearnings of the heart.

Glen S - International Space Cowboy EP [EC-006] 8 July 2022
Another silky day in the milky way.

Link: https://eclecticsydney.bandcamp.com/album/international-space-cowboy 

An aural depiction of an intergalactic mustang with a head of steam, Hyperspeed pushes an unrelenting pace. An avenue to showcase deftness for the journey, our hero utilizes continuous sonic movement to escort a thumping middle to perpetuity. A square synth wanders, with cutoff and resonance manipulation central to its never-ending movement.

New York-based electronica/alternative pop artist Rachel Lime graces Break Up Song with her first-ever remix. Her romantic chords and trademark harps float like butterflies over an angelic and sporadic bassline.

Written as a drunken closing message to their ex, Fairie sings a passionate dream-inducing melody over production that weaves together hard dance, electronica and indie rock in an impossibly unique way. Their blend achieves the rarest and most powerful of musical experiences: aching sadness over joyful and energetic dance; highlighted by lyrics relaying the freeing yet painful realisation that you no longer wish to be with the one you love.

Formerly known as Sine Language, MOT reimagines himself. The Melbourne (AU) producer ventures into deeper and darker waters with 3 new tracks chronicling the shedding of skin in reverse. 

The blackened dissonant pads of Bugged Out echo underneath a grooving combination of skittish hats and pounding rusted barrels, before making way to gliding radar signals that indicate a persisting sign of life.

"Three improvisations recorded before, during & after the body has sunk..."

Sydney (AU) producer adrian asher - known best for his electro, techno and ghetto works - strips back his electric persona on this rare and incredibly intimate solo piano release 'Black Silk Lagoon'. 3 tracks of fully improvised piano tell a tale of loss & melancholy, beautifully demonstrating his ability to speak the language of his heart on the piano.

"These pieces were recorded at night after having spent some time in the ocean at sunset. To get home from the ocean I must walk through the Black Silk Lagoon. In the story these pieces create, I do not walk home, but walk into the dark waters and blissfully dissolve." - adrian asher

Morning Light is the new 7-track EP by Naarm producer Prizefight, featuring 4 originals and 3 remixes by Naarm favourites Sam Alfred, Cybernet and STÜM. The EP is a gorgeous arrangement of trance and techno cuts that raise the bar for the new wave with impactful songwriting, dreamlike production and a distinctly unique sound. Touches of influence from dub, 2-step and prog can be heard throughout the release as Prizefight effortlessly combines these elements without being obvious or overpowering. Closing the release - Sam Alfred, Cybernet and STÜM apply their club masteries to the originals, serving remixes that take the EP to higher ground.

COUNTERMEASURES is the debut EP by Naarm/Melbourne techno duo 6 SENSE, boasting 4 massive tracks that discover unexplored horizons in the new wave's exploration of pounding yet playful rave techno.

High speeds and booming kicks that force involuntary movement can be found in abundance here, creating the perfect sonic space for ravers to decide: go hard or go home.

Trust us, no one ever wants to go home after hearing this.

Bandcamp: https://spinningaround.bandcamp.com/album/portal-2022

Lead single Credit makes an immediate impression with a swaggering beat that feels otherworldly while remaining true to the crucial knock and swing of traditional UKG. The venomous Little Simz vocal sample drips viciously in cavernous reverb to introduce a bouncy bassline that warps itself over deep and devastating sub-bass.

In support of "pussy in power" for the Blak women of Australia, all proceeds from this track will be donated to Djirra - an Aboriginal Community Controlled Organisation providing legal support, social services and advocacy to Aboriginal women fighting against family violence.

Naarm producer, live artist, mentor and sound engineer Benji Colbourne AKA B.C. Slumber takes the palettes of the intro sequence and paints a dream-like downtempo piece that evokes images of deep forests and river streams. Simultaneously thoughtful and empty-minded, the remix's likeness to a digital spirit's embrace is a beautiful accompaniment and contrast to the EP.

The climax to the EP's journey twists a spritely light-hearted playfulness into the stomp of a behemoth, with bass-heavy groans that echo like mountains while moving relentlessly through a drunken shuffle of percussion. A UK bass track that incorporates Prizefight's love and knack for groove and duality, Break Thru absolutely begs to be heard on the biggest soundsystems available to humankind.

In the headbanging finale to Prizefight's modern tales of UKG, Maintenance's grime vocal samples give a nod to the culture's evolution and fortify the beat's undeniable swing. A sinister fifth-driven bassline suavely glides its way throughout, effortlessly adding an attitude to the infectious arrogance and bravado of Dizzee's rhymes.

Stepping away from her usual club fare, Warrang/Sydney producer Caitlin Medcalf delivers an incredibly rare post-dubstep cut that takes the original into groovy meditative emptiness. With eyes closed and mind open, the material dissipates and the void surrounds - hear the buzzing of the universe and the call of the deep as phantasmal kicks drift across aether. A new hidden gem in the label's discography.

Pre-order: https://eclecticsydney.bandcamp.com/album/desolate

Its additive layers augmenting its bleak optimism, 'Every Thing To Me' represents a shifting tone. Tremulous single-shot keys protrude by design, working with a recurrent phrase and distinct drum pattern to evoke intended poignance. A hallmark across productions, a signature reese-reminiscent drone carries a stepper beat forward, meeting a dancing top synth en route to a dusty terminus.

“The name ‘Desolate’ is a reflection of the music, in a sense of capturing the feeling of standing in a rocky desert and feeling the power of openness. A strong visual that also inspired the music was the way rocky plains and a desert can have such a harmonious pairing. Rough ragged edges and a sense of nothingness and pure open nature is a great representation of how the music sounds.” - Amraks
