can't wait to get a copy of this future classic of an album 🪐

We are proud to present our first digital V/A compilation featuring a range of talented friends and artists from around the globe.

Drifting through the sounds of progressive house and trance, FUA001 is a nod to what was once a booming scene in Dublin for the sound we have come so fond of today, bridging the sonic generational gap of trance, techno and psychedelic rhythms.

Proceeds from this release will be donated to the ELSC - an organization providing free legal support to protect and support advocates for Palestinian rights in Europe - more information available at elsc.support/about

FUA001 | Various Artists | Fuaim V/A (05/04/24)

‘WAR1209’ finds Ukrainian artist shjva inducing trance states across an album equal parts tripped-out and dubby. Spanning brooding lysergic visions and locked-in dance floor hypnosis, expect drowsily impressionistic soundscapes and darkly cinematic gear across the 9-track duration. Total sonic immersion for the oddballs and the freaks.
 
Terraforming uncharted alien terrain, tracks like ‘X-Side’ and ‘Upper Limit’ descend into sprawling, widescreen exploration. Fathomless landscapes serving as vessels for deep introspection. ‘Enigmatic’, on the other hand, opts for detail and precision-tooled dynamics while retaining that same wide-eyed sense of wonder. Where ‘Dragonfly’ offers fractal fuel for ceremony and ritual, ‘Cloudhopping’ and ‘Psy-Fi Alien Dub’ wade knee-deep through some dub techno murk. Saving the direct and tunnelling for last, 'Banshee' and 'Chrysalis' are like two sides of the same proggy coin; one ominous, the other more optimistic and utopian.

Making his Dekmantel debut with a flourish of symphonic, transcendental techno, Sepehr takes us into a fictional metaphysical zone he calls the Genesis Domain.

Over the past 10 years NYC-based Sepehr Alimagham’s versatile club music practice has taken in techno, D&B, electro, EBM and acid on a suite of scene-leading labels. This new EP builds on the pseudo-spirituality he explored on recent LP Fall From Grace with an exploration of an imagined space “where your reality can be reinvented at any given moment.”

On the A side, the title track sets the pace with a throbbing, sparkling-yet-spooky trip that allows a touch of trance into the mix, while ‘Delicate Senses’ explores snappier broken beat rhythms and edgy atmospherics with a distinctly moody outlook.

The mystical electro shades of ‘Twisted Solstice’ and ‘Planet Lonely’s melancholic 4/4 pastures strike a note between contemplative introspection and anthemic main stage energy. ‘Queen Of Demons’ is the consummate EP closer, leaning on brooding low end and snaking, intricate beats with a healthy dose of shimmering beauty up top.

Consistent with his versatile approach since day one, Sepehr proves any blend of tempos and rhythms can be folded into his vivid, evocative sound world — the results will always draw you in close until his vision becomes yours.

Our 9th release features artists from around the world, each bringing their unique vision to the table. Their creativity has been a driving force for us, shaping our musical exploration. This compilation offers a genuine narrative from each artist, and we're excited to showcase their work.

Some of our DJ friends are part of the Port Frankivsk voluntary organisation, dedicating themselves to volunteering from the beginning of the war. We appreciate their commitment and we're standing with all Ukrainians during these tough times. To help out, we've decided to donate all the proceeds from this compilation to Port Frankivsk.

We extend our gratitude to all the artists and supporters who have made this compilation possible. Through this release, we aim to support the Ukrainian people, and we couldn't have done it without you.

Thank you for standing with us.

Glory to Ukraine!
Слава Україні!

Pavel Milyakov, AKA Buttechno, coming through with the kind of impeccably-produced, trance-inducing deftness we've come to expect.

A kindred spirit of the Oyster Cult, this is a union long overdue. While he’s often found working in horizontal zones, inhabiting the intersection between ambient and downtempo, these are dancefloor dynamics for pure contemplation. Gone is the amorphous abstraction of releases like ‘PSY X’ and the kind output reserved for release under his birth name, instead opting for a lean, hypnotic kind of minimalism. 

‘OYSTER57’ picks up where the ‘Inorganic Demons’ LP and aptly-titled ‘Minimal Cuts’ series left off. Saying that, the first three tracks navigate territory gloomier than the aforementioned; uneasy at times but deeply engrossing, smudged and frayed into heads-down interzones of tunnelling throb and icy melodic flourish. Girder-strength pressure primed for metaphysical experience. 

Then, like a vestige of the finest turn-of-the-century progressive trance, ’bleeps’ ends proceedings on a slight departure. A showcase of restraint from the Berlin-based maestro and a fitting way to close.

Frond's journey continues with her inaugural release on wax! We were first introduced to Frond when she was being booked for DJ sets by some of London's most exciting promoters. Having caught her play we were quick to get in touch and after releasing a wicked mix on the pod series, we started chatting about pushing her productions on the label.

Having released on her own Cross Pollination platform, and more recently, putting together a remix for Nickon Faith, Purple FIelds sees Frond continue to develop her signature acidy prog that has become so familiar across her dj sets. 🌱

If you haven't already, get yourself acquainted with the Frond throb, lot's more to come. In the meantime, purple Fields, available for streaming on the P&P YouTube and Soundcloud pages. Vinyl pre-orders found in the link in bio.
