It looked like a normal night under the stars.
In the forest clearing, people were building the stage and setting up the scenery for
midnight's big rave.
Alice came to dance but arrived too early to the party.
While she was sitting outside the camp she saw a funky monkey jumping right in front of
her.
She heard a whisper but wasn't sure, so she started to follow the little monkey.
Out of the blue she fell down, or was she climbing up?
It all ended very quickly and, to her surprise, nothing seemed to changed around her.
On her way back to the camp she started to hear dark, psychedelic electronic music.
Very quietly she could hear a mantra saying “Petit Monde... Petit Monde..”
She was drawn to the intoxicated voices.
As she arrived, she was shocked to find the camp was full of people, all standing still in front
of the DJ booth and humming the mantra.
Slowly she walked inside. People cleared the way for her to pass all the way to the DJ.

Suddenly a strong light appeared and the DJ pointed out at her and shouted-
Danse Alice!!

And the party started.

microCastle’s first offering of 2023 welcomes Presia to the label for his debut EP. Burgeoning French talent Presia has carved out a unique sonic identity in the world of electronic music and indie dance, resulting in a string of uniquely crafted records that present a resonant worldly sound. Hailing from the Alpine town of Annecy, Presia’s musical palate takes reference from a legion of genres across the industry’s vast spectrum; creating an authentic voice that is discernibly his own. 2022 proved to be a breakout year for the French talent, with a contribution to Isolate’s ‘Mutations’ collection preceding a five-track showcase for the Turkish imprint in July. Support from industry tastemakers soon followed as did an EP for Avidus’ Empore Music to end the year. Now, for his first project of 2023, Presia makes his microCastle debut with a four-track showcase entitled ‘First Time’.

EP opener ‘Brizz’ immediately captivates with its rubbery rhythms, glossy melodies and prismatic haze. Colours blur together as the springy bass and gauzy synths propel forward into a tastefully twisted interlude, one where fuzz and distortion unite, as the groove erupts alongside a furious march of metallic arps. The space-dance foray ‘The Path’ follows and further cements Presia’s dancefloor minded ethos. A collection of recalibrated sonics and emotionally resonant hooks highlight a retro-tinged, acid-laced first movement, perfectly whetting the appetite for a break of flickering sonics and granular flares.

Beneath the hypnagogic waves of ‘The Path’ lies the starry guitars and neo-saccharine drive of ‘Cash’. A cohesive fusion of indie and melodic themes, anchored by rocketing beats and percussive rides, tastefully building to a wild-eyed intensity of woozy guitars and soaring synths. Its soulful pulse proves to be the perfect prelude for the collection's final and title selection, the summery set closing record 'First Time'. Building with a subdued pulse, its wonky disorienting lead quickly catches hold of you, flowing through an exchange of free-form effects, as plucky stabs and pneumatic tones transfer energy into a finale of speaker-buzzing revelry.

Get ready to get excited as we are and taste that sweet sugar.

Būna Dienos

According to Nikita, this song was written in the attic of his dad’s house. His family’s old pictures show that this was the space, where various discotheques were taking place, when he was a kid. The house was old, but everything was new to Nikita. This space inspired him to start experimenting with music, so he turned it into DIY music studio, and this particular song was one of the first jams after deciding to turn to dancey music and playing around with drum machine. Here Nikita sings about very relatable topic – sometimes there are days when you simply cannot stop dancing. Everyone has been there, right?

For extended Q&A visit pi headquarters @ ------>pipipi.life<-------

Introduce yourself? Pronouns? Where do you currently reside? 

Hii I’m Mabel. I'm a 23 yr old DJ/producer & visual artist. I use she/her and currently I reside in Naarm, known as Melbourne in Australia. 

Describe your walk around where you live

Residential suburbia mixed with really random nature moments. I live in the same suburb I grew up in so it's very familiar and nostalgic. Extremely FLAT landscape until you come across the creek nearby that creates a surprising amount of cliffy bush walks which also is one of Melbourne's most popular doof locations.  

Last track you would want to hear before orgasming?

Ooooo I have to go with this sexy classic: 
What’s in Your Head - Disclosure

What would you like to see in the future for the dance community?

I want to see the scene down here reignite. We lost a lot of clubs over recent years and laws were introduced regarding illegal doofs. The general vibe has lowered a lot post covid. There’s a lot of reminiscing about the parties filled with sweaty dancers, naked bodies, insane outfits, etc. Parties that were just fun and freeing. I hope these things come back. They were definitely the reason I became obsessed with Djing.

Listening to Clouzer’s cosmic textures, layered abstractions and futuristic soundscapes on LMNTL feels like connecting to an extraterrestrial world. The Berlin-based musician blends electro, broken beats and dirty bass lines, creating immersive and hypnotic environments for people to dwell in.
The EP also features a marvellous remix by Sestrica, one of the most vibrant and unique female live acts on the Breakbeat scene.

On ACEN048, Outsider makes her All Centre debut. Following standout appearances on four Pressure Dome compilations, the Derbyshire-based artist presents two forward-thinking, experimental club tracks.

Good Bone Structure opens with tense rolling snares and a shimmering pad as kick drums articulate the track’s broken rhythm. The arrangement builds to the introduction of a two note bassline which shifts and evolves into new and unpredictable mutations throughout the 7 minute track, underpinned by hard drums and embellished with ecstatic synth melodies.

Stick Shift opens with forceful four to the floor kicks and a dubbed-out, restless chord progression which darts around the percussion. The synth moves and grows, alternating with and reacting to the track’s ricocheting bassline, whilst syncopated claps keep the track’s compelling rhythms in check.

Good Bone Structure is available across all digital platforms on the 26th May.

Dusted&Social EP #12 (5-15-23)

Tracklist: https://bleep.com/bleep-mix-263--james-ellis-ford

To celebrate the release of his debut solo album on Warp Records, James Ellis Ford dives into his eclectic record collection to present an array of his personal favourites and influences on The Hum.

Bleep Mix #263 - James Ellis Ford

The second single from Nickodemus’ upcoming album ‘Soul & Science’ is the album opener “La Noche” with Antonio Lizana. The track is classic Nickodemus fare, starting with a deep Hip Hop groove and a modern twist on traditional Flamenco vocals describing the creative burst that comes to artists from being in nightlife. The track is a perfect introduction to the album, setting the tone for its theme of the power of music to bring people together and create a sense of community.
