Woozy’s annual WZY.5 compilation summit gathers for its fourth instalment, celebrating 9 artists of dubwise disposition that maintains the label and its founder EMA’s spellbinding tradition in futurist soundsystem music. No Sir, Maude Vôs, Jossy Mitsu, Chewlie, Beaabea, Mantra, Introspekt, Ila Brugal and Honeydrip all feature for another bumper showcase of ambitious club sounds.

WZY4.5’s welcoming address looks to No Sir’s Dilate, an elastic-shock of icy swagger that rudely snaps under the serious sub pressure. Maude Vôs’ Faerie Ring gurgles with psy-eye wonder amidst its half-time hypnosis, before the chromatic piston-breaks of Arena bounce around Jossy Mitsu’s irresistible kinetics. Chewlie’s Blaze Of Sobriety is a crooked stepper of wide-eyed abstraction that swivels on an addictive head-nod lurch, while Pixelate’s taut trip through Beaabea’s stern kick-drum ballistics offers some dastardly club drama. Mantra then signals the rave siren, meditating on a percussive half step before igniting the jungle (dub) tekno fervour of Bedrock. Introspekt’s naughty 2-stepper Digital throbs in a see-saw of LFO menace and crisp swung-drum mechanics, before Moth’s blunted dancefloor haze illuminates Ila Brugal’s effortlessly rolling groove. On closing remarks is Honeydrip with Aspire, a zooted stepper of heavenly breakbeat joy that skanks sub-heavy style to its and WZY4.5’s glorious conclusion.

Chewlie - Flourish In The Ruins (Stacktrace & Knurx STAGE 4 Remix)

✤ SWINE PREMIERE ✤ @exhausted-modern from his upcoming album S.O.O.S. | Shores of Old Sentiments for @YUKUMUSIC

➲ Ladislav Zensor (Oblaka, Exhausted Modern) returns to YUKU with S.O.O.S |
Shores of Old Sentiments, a deeply personal journey through memory and time. Following his previous EP, Petrichor Memories, and his 2022 debut album, HACE, this record is both a continuation and a return. While Petrichor Memories reflects childhood moments in a city housing estate, S.O.O.S. flows into the Czech countryside.

➲ The album takes its name from SOOS, a volcanic region in western Bohemia. Once alive with bubbling streams and the sharp scent of sulfur, it now stands largely still, a fitting parallel to the shifting textures and disintegrating structures within these tracks. Flickering synths, arrhythmic percussion, and echoes of the past weave together, blurring the edges of time and place.

➲ Closing the album are two special collaborations: Baryt with Moroccan sound designer Disektor and Temporal Echoes with Egyptian/Prague-based
multidisciplinary artist Qow.

Ping Devil Meme

Out now - 12 tracks: double vinyl and digital 

In 2013, Different Circles launched with Weightless Volume One, a compilation that helped define a new minimalist aesthetic in electronic music. 

Twelve years later and after a six-year pause, the label returns with its tenth release: Ping Volume One.

Like weightless, ping isn’t a genre. It's an approach to anchoring and propelling sound without relying on the steady pulse of a kick drum.

Instead, a single percussive hit — the ping — holds the centre. Dry and high in the mix, or echoing distantly through space, it becomes a temporal anchor. Around it, the rest of the track can undulate, bend, float or collapse.

The term first appeared on Mumdance’s radio show, where playing “the pingy ones” from the Different Circles back catalogue became a running joke. In the Discord community, it evolved into a shared language, with memes, lore and a mascot known as the Ping Devil.

In 2023, Mumdance aired The “Ping Report” a radio show that gathered everything into a coherent moodboard. It included original tracks made by Discord members for the show and set the foundations. From there, more producers began making ping intentionally, and over time, Ping Volume One took shape.

As the idea came into focus, Logos and Mumdance noticed that much of the Different Circles back catalogue, if not explicitly weightless, could now be understood through the lens of ping. It was a sound they had been drawn to long before they had a language to describe it.

Ping Volume One is a document of shared instinct. A collection of tracks connected by feel rather than formula, shaped by years of dialogue between a community of artists and listeners who were drawn to the same sounds & ideas before they had a name.
