Since bursting onto the scene three years ago Maroki has shaped out an emotionally-charged sound which comfortably wraps around any number of club styles. Even by his swooning, introspective standards, his new release on Ano Ano takes this idea further with guest vocalist Maeve rounding out some of his most poignant productions to date. 
 
2021 was a tricky time to gain a foothold in club music, but Maroki’s music transcended the limitations of dance music without dancefloors thanks to his melodic strong suit, drawn from a background in classical piano and soundtrack composition. A run of acclaimed releases on labels like E-Beamz, Lost Palms and Flippen Bits cemented his arrival as he elegantly moved between light-footed breakbeat, dexterous 2-step and artfully swung house.

Through The Tooth follows a logical path from his previous appearance on Ano Ano - the 2023 EP Plastic Brain, thanks to Maroki’s innate instinct for the low-end sound craft of UK soundsystem music and the harmonic sensibility he applies to every aspect of his sound. If these six new tracks feel more inwardly focused than, say, his drop on Lobster Theremin, it’s because they were made through the surreal isolation of lockdown.
 
The presence of rising icon Maeve [3] on ‘Still Burning’ and ‘Bad Day In Bonus Town’ celebrates the sense of liberation that came as outside life resumed — the pair connected in the wake of Glastonbury Festival to create the final pieces of the puzzle that make up this EP. ‘Dreamer’ features additional production from Hypnøs, a close friend whose studio sits across the canal from Maroki’s in Amsterdam, and you can expect to hear more from their partnership in the coming months.
 
A special mention goes to the artwork for Through The Tooth, which comes from James Lacey at Pointless Illustration. A longtime friend of Maroki’s, Lacey renders the sound of the EP in dusky tones and geometric formations that call back to the bold vision of the Italian futurists — a fitting mood for the balance of retro and modernist touches contained in the music.
 
Exploring a more universal approach that reaches beyond the pure functionality of music for the club, Maroki taps into the idea we don’t just need beats for late nights in dark rooms. These are songs to carry with you through life, with an emotional resonance which lingers long after the final delay trails have run their course on EP closer ‘Offworld Paddy’.

Amidst the global pandemic, MXC, consisting of Maroki and Coralie, forged a digital connection to push the boundaries of their sound. Walking a tightrope between introspective club music and avant-garde experimentation, MXC transcends genre limitations with a distinctive sound. Despite never physically sharing the same space, Maroki and Coralie work separately to craft their individual parts, preserving the sanctity of their creative flow. This unorthodox approach yields a musical tapestry defying convention and explanation, encapsulating MXC’s collective vision in an uncondensed format. Inspired by dimly lit clubs and the uncharted territories of sound design, MXC explores shadows, drawing from grime, acid, psy, and UK bass to infuse their productions with grit and intensity. Their sonic tapestries glide between genres, moods, and sounds, leaving listeners enraptured and craving more.

The Berlin-based record label Voitax is gearing up for a notable release as MXC’s highly anticipated EP, ‘Tik Tik,’ hits the scene. This collaboration marks the fusion of Maroki and Coralie’s unique musical perspectives, cast during the challenges of a world in lockdown.

MXC’s EP, ‘Tik Tik’, is a testament to creative resilience, presenting a sonic journey through uncharted territories of drum and bass. Crafted meticulously in two separate studios during a year marked by isolation and introspection, the EP showcases MXC’s versatile artistry. From the repurposed grime breakbeat hybrid of ‘Tik Tik’ to the relentless industrial chug of ‘Swarm’ and the delicate balance between IDM and club-focused broken drum & bass in ‘Aiven’ and ‘Crabby,’ each track captivates with intricate complexity. The EP culminates in the IDM exploration of ‘PS,’ where Maroki’s vocals intertwine with synths, creating a poignant finale that leaves a lasting imprint on listeners.

Hailing from a fashion design background and moonlighting as a visual artist, this Chen Kai-en’s work is marked by a handmade aesthetic, collage elements, repeated patterns, and a fusion of colors and textures. Inspired by everyday landscapes, particularly in local Taiwanese communities, the artist delves into the unconventional charm of “Taiwanese character” and life’s unpredictability. Through a creative journey deeply connected to personal cultural experiences, each meticulously crafted fabric and collage piece reflects the artist’s profound connection to culture, life moments, and text, making this venture a unique expression of life, culture, and identity.

On ‘Still Burning,’ Maroki spreads his wings as a producer by bringing fast-rising singer Maeve into the mix for an introspective club cut holding crossover potential closer to its chest. The plaintive synth lines and brooding bass provide a powerful backdrop to Maeve’s eyes-down vocal on the verses, but Maroki holds back some crafty voice edits for those peaks when the crooked beat kicks in.

MXC - GREAT TUMBLER STEVEN (Banoffee Pies Records) BPBL08 [CM]

Following her contribution to Superclásico Vol. 2, we’re thrilled to welcome Closet Yi to the Clasico family properly with Cloudborne 888: four tracks of psychedelic but focused electronics.

We’ve been long-time admirers of Closet Yi’s work – from early gems on No Bad Days through to standout releases on Hotflush, Honey Badger and Peggy Gou’s Gudu label. Hailing from Seoul but increasingly active across the UK and Europe, she’s graced booths at Village Underground, Corsica Studios and Lost Village with the best of them, and made her Boiler Room debut alongside firm friends of the label Finn, Anz, Mogwaa and Sharda — need we say more?

Written in the wake of a Chinese tour last year, where Closet “played music in some places that really expanded my vision,” Cloudborne 888 takes cues from cities the size of small countries to mountain towns like Dali, where, in her words, “the nature was bizarre.” The result is some of the trippiest, most immersive music we’ve released yet: hazy synth washes, endlessly delayed textures and percussive grooves that feel like they’re unravelling and reassembling themselves in real time.

But while it drifts and bends, it never meanders — each track carries a pulse, a direction, and a restless momentum. It’s club music built on movement and memory, tension and release, with a sense of spatial depth that opens up new corners on every listen. Rhythmic storytelling between structure and spontaneity, made for open roads, dark rooms, and anywhere else you might find yourself lost in thought.
In Closet’s words: “the piece is a reflection of movement – physically and mentally – and I hope it gives people space to zone out for a bit and wander and imagine.”

The title track is available on July 16th before the full EP is released on July 31st.

Cloudborne 888

Early Reflex continues its Eyes series with a powerful return from Brooklyn-based producer
Sobolik, whose distinctive and emotionally resonant club music first landed on the imprint with
Opening track “Sandbox” is a hypnotic roller driven by a constant mantric bass and led by
ethereal, airy synths. The piece flows with emotional clarity, balancing softness and propulsion in
equal measure—an entrancing meditation through rhythm and texture.
On the flip, “Turning Back” explores a darker, more angular energy. Grime-inflected and
basslines. The track moves with restrained intensity, echoing internal shifts and the slow
untangling of anxious loops.
With Eyes III, Sobolik expands on their singular voice within experimental club music, continuing
Early Reflex’s commitment to foregrounding emotionally charged, forward-thinking sonic work.

‘Eyes III’ is available on all platforms starting from Friday 1st August 2025.

Sobolik - Turning Back

Nameless

Sin Afuera (“Without Outside”) is the new collaborative EP from Chilean producer @Imaabs, label manager of NAAFI and cofounder of Máquina Simple, and @OtherIslands, a vocalist and producer from London’s underground club scene. Both based in Mexico City, the two artists share a close creative partnership shaped by a mutual interest in exploring the limits of global electronic music.

The EP’s title refers to the myth of closed systems—those that define themselves by casting an outside as dissident, migrant, or simply noise, and enforcing its exclusion. Through hybridity, dissonance, and distortion, the record traces the contours of this outside, imagining other ways of being in the world.

Released via NAAFI, the four tracks draw on and destabilize the rhythmic logics of dembow, baile funk, grime, dancehall, reggaeton, and jungle. Frenetic percussion and glistening synths meet expansive sound design: ASMR flickers, field recordings, and fragments of unintelligible speech bleed through swung grooves and shimmering textures. The result is a sound that is luminous and tense, shot through with longing and evoking a space that feels at once intimate and yet out of reach.

Laying down the gauntlet for the future direction of the label, the Tectonic Sound comp comprises many producers making their Tectonic debut, inc. re:ni, Beatrice M., Yushh, Flora Yin Wong, and Sicaria, alongside stalwarts like 2562, Shed, and Distance. It’s a journey through experimental, bass-heavy electronic music, with almost all tracks created by the artists specifically with Tectonic’s sound in mind - at an intersection where dubstep and techno meet.
 
"More so than just the sound, the music is in tune with the real ethos of the early dubstep scene. People talk about ‘heads in a scene - but it’s led by hearts really. I’ve always tried to follow my heart when it comes to music and all the music here is from people I trust to do something worth communicating with the world. It feels like Tectonic has been a part of many communities over the years, and there is something that binds all the releases together, something that speaks for itself in a way that goes beyond words, something that’s instinctive and immediate.” - Pinch
