The Rookie returns with his trademark style - pure rolling energetic techy freeform all the way - wrapped up in one monster EP! Kicking the proceedings off is 'Mindless', an absolute underground club roller peppered with Q&A fx and synth noises, percussive and punishing bass stabs, grimy leads and a killer vocal hook. One hell of a massive riff and breakdown bombs the whole tune back into the realms of freeform euphoria as it kicks off with a pure trance energy. If you like your 'form on the hard NRG side with lashings of tech influence, this one is for you. Flipping it up n' over for 'Take Me' and the energy levels remain high but the groove switches things up and nods directly to freeform's close association with hard dance. Offbeat bass bounces things along to another mega hard trance selection in the break, with more absolute euphoric fire as things kick off on the drop! Two solid dancefloor killer cuts to add to The Rookie's already impressive Stamina catalogue collection.

The Digital Commandos have made a welcome home for themselves on Stamina, becoming an integral part of the fabric of the label thanks to a slew of consistently quality releases, all featuring their ultra-distinguishable sonic palette of classic freeform textures. With such a stellar catalogue of releases under their belt, and a hot-bed of talent knocking at Stamina's door of late, it felt only right to open up the DC's work to the world of remixes, which is exactly what both parts of our latest EP deliver. Heading up the Yin side, the powerhouse combo of K-Wire and Lost Faith, no strangers to the label, take on 'Rockin' Up The Mic'. Re-injecting DC regular vocalist MC Cyx' lyrics over a bouncier affair - that unashamedly blurs the boundaries with hardcore - the boys' reworking oozes crossover appeal as it whisks through pianos, rave synths and upfront supersaw melodies. Paired up to complete the release for the Yang side, we welcome back freeform royalty as Eryk Orpheus returns to remix duties, blasting firm DC favourite 'What The Radio Won't Play' into the stratosphere. A melting pot of styles underpinned by Eryk's recent trademark psy sound, this one journeys through crunchy kick drums, sub heavy breakbeats, pianos, phasey arps and bass rich tones. The Digital Commandos have been fully remixed! Devastating results as per, from your freeform favourite Stamina Records.

Next up on the STM slate, label founder A.B returns alongside Stamina regular K-Wire, as the pair reunite to provide an EP bursting with diversity and a little break from the freeform norm! Having already hooked up over the years to provide Stamina classics such as Smiler, Euphoria, Twisted, Ignition, both lads are back to push the boundaries once again with the killer two tunes that are 'This Mind Of Mine' & 'Leviathan'! Donks, vocals, bouncy basslines and hoovers aren't necessarily the first things that spring to mind when you think of freeform, but that's exactly what the genre should be all about - expecting the unexpected. All of those elements combine in 'This Mind Of Mine', alongside some mega trance euphoric business to provide a vocal anthem that's destined to add to the boys' catalogue of classics. Flip for the Yang and it's an altogether different cut as the duo unleash some inner darkness in the form of 'Leviathan'. There's still the odd donk here and there, but this time all is surrounded by pure ferocious driving kicks n bass, screeching synths, and more than a touch of distortion thrown in for good measure too! A timeless riff takes things up a notch after the breakdown, and cements this as the perfect accompaniment to another monster Stamina EP.

Stoker first came to our attention thanks to his underground anthem 'Sick & Tired' (available on our FINRG collab album Portal), before going on to hone his homegrown production skills with an epic remix of 'Ignition' on Stamina's landmark Sixty-Five EP. Here he has upped his game once again, simultaneously really nailing down what his sonic is all about, in the form of two beautifully bittersweet slices of serious freeform. So what is the Stoker sound? 'Extinction' steps up to answer that question first, laying down some trademark Stoker phenomena in part to its pensive chords, jaw-droppingly beautiful string & piano section, and quintessentially classic freeform main riff. 303s aplenty pepper the track, and the theme of acid spills over into the second offering on the EP, with 'True World' also donning more than a few squelchy resonant sequences. With a higher tempo and rougher, more underground approach, there's still a lot of Stoker signifiers to fix this firmly in the category of modern day freeform anthem, thanks to expertly keyed piano and strings, Nordic-styled twisted synth leads, and even more consummate freeform melodies. An epic addition to our catalogue for those who like their freeform classic, pure and anthemic; essential underground listening on your favourite Stamina Records imprint.

Transcend is of course no stranger to Stamina, helping to have shaped the label's output, direction - and signature sound - thanks in part to three seminal artist albums and countless EPs to boot. When a new Transcend EP drops there is always a buzz at Stamina HQ, and this latest record keeps with that tradition, whilst also marking a distinct step-up in artistic evolution, as we enter a near-zenith Transcend 3.0 stage. Intensifying all that makes his productions distinct, whilst stripping things back to the core fundamentals that represent his unmistakable unique sound, peak-Transcend has been unlocked, with a two-tracker that lands firmly in modern-day classic territory, instantly. Sporting production-values the highest we've ever seen from him (and we don't say that lightly!), 'Transcendance' is the first out the gate on the record, occupying the Yin-side and representing some of the absolute best uplifting freeform hardcore you will ever hear. Superbly executed by this master craftsman of the genre, the melodic brilliance is bold, the structure on-point for today's dancefloor generation, and the execution of euphoric excellent unmatched. Pure unadulterated, concentrated freeform brilliance. 'Butterfly Effect' follows up to seal the EP complete, oozing darker grittier tones, with its chaotic and eastern-influenced melodies underpinned by a relentless driving sonic. Acid flutters, snappy breakbeat fills and a galloping low end all contribute to the big moody atmosphere, which in contrast to the beautifully uplifting Yin-side sits firmly in underground freeform territory. A brilliantly balanced EP from one of the truest masters of the 'form. Not to be missed.

Taking freeform worldwide is always on our agenda, and so it's always a privilege when artists from around the globe drop into our catalogue, and even more so when they drop in with two absolutely mammoth tracks! Corey Tamerax is no stranger to our label, having already notched up Stamina hits in the past such as, 'I Got The Beeps', 'PDS', 'Child Forever', 'Drug User', 'Roomshaker' and more. He is also one of few artists pushing the big kick freeform sound, and this EP is no exception. The Yin side leads the way with an east-meets-west electronic fusion, drawing influence from J-core and the Japanese EDM scene - conceptualised via the guise of full-on freeform - with the result sitting perfectly amongst our more recent 'back-to-roots' releases. Think raw basslines on the 16th, sliding synths plus acid n' trance, and you're only halfway to discovering the true club potential of the anthem that is 'Nightfall'. Over on the Yang and Tamerax follows his tradition of pairing the driving with the downright HARD as he takes us into big kick territory via 'Saviour'. Raw and powerful beats bring the fire on this one alongside super-techno reese basslines aplenty, crazy acid lines and a dark and disturbing lead hook. Powerful stuff for our 57th main label Stamina Records release!
