The first outing for Woodwork's 'func' series traverses 31 cuts from several artists; some familiar faces already on the roster, some new additions, and some esteemed guests who have provided crucial influence on Woodwork both past and present.

AFT Lounge Tech has purposefully selected a specific range of sounds, compiling a continuous mix designed to weave an essential storyline... one which traces the overlapping sonic footprints of classic electro, breakbeat house, chillout & jazz electronica, idm, and electro funk. The collective sound induces the perfect vibe for an upbeat lounge setting... the 'back room' party atmosphere... suitable for intricate moves on a more spacious floor... simultaneously that warm lit space to relax and soak in some deep, soulful sounds. The beats in here are uptempo, fractured and funky, catering to the bboy and house dance cypher... an uplifted flow guided by engaging melodies and soulful progressions.

The chosen tracks and continuous mix together complete an expansive set of tools and blueprints for recreating an elusive atmosphere that happens only when things are going off in the back lounge... with grooving and chilling locked in peak effect. For context, enjoy the 'Majestik Func' continuous mix, and then get intimate with its constituent parts, a stunning set of emotive original tracks contributed by diverse range of inspiring artists... more of this to come...

'Consuming Shadow' concludes a year-long series of explosive EPs from Dez Williams. A broad realm has been established through the 29 tracks it contains, with this final instalment pushing the outer edges and re-establishing the depth and artistry Dez offers with each set.

'See-eye-hey' treads mostly in electro territory, with windup synths and newsreel vocal chop in effect, opening into a wide open cinematic blast section. The stylized snappy breakbeat fills and drum patterns wedge their way under an amp-boosted polyrhythmic acid sequence, setting up an all-in section that feels like a destination at the height of tension.

'Coiled spring' captures a raw, edgy beast of a jam. An absurd collection of wandering synths exploring a cyclical pattern, only to be repeatedly boxed in by heavy breathing drum fx and jacking breaks. Abstract stuff but no nonsense here.

Electro techno with a detroit bent and a bleep slant converges in 'hashing past' but nothing about this track sounds misplaced or outdated. Electro evolution still stretches toward future jazz and this number definitely wears its intellect proudly and to great effect.

A deeply modulated sync bass synth runs the show in 'take you for granted'. The slippery leads and low end are balanced by dry, punchy breaks. Layers of melodic themes weave and braid their way through a dynamic arrangement that wraps in a concise, stripped down outro.

The title track 'consuming shadow' is an ethereal drone through tense pads, infinite space and lost noise artefacts. Thick with tone but utterly desolate in mood, it evokes a sense of submission to detached and dystopian visions.

Ending with the deepest, most emotive track has become the convention in this series. So here we sign off with 'silvios joint', a pensive piece with classic elements and elegant composition. The lush backdrop of sliding strings, regal bass bumps and steady supporting rhythm track hold it down for continuous melodic variations in the top synth line. This is a gorgeous final statement that both asks and answers for itself.

Hazard Sound (Danny Phr3ntic Remix)

DJ Supreem

In an electronic music landscape often dominated by fleeting trends, the pursuit of genuine "Understanding" is a commendable ambition, and it’s this very concept that Stuttgart’s Jakob Mäder (SXDNS418) explores with impressive depth on his latest EP for Munich’s Dance Petrol Records. Mäder is no stranger to aficionados of the German house scene, having previously delivered compelling works for a roster of acclaimed imprints including theBasement Discos, Miura, Frank Music, Zissou, Constant Change, and TOYS Berlin, just to name a few. This history reveals a producer with a refreshingly versatile palette, refusing to be pinned to a single subgenre. The "Understanding" EP continues this journey, presenting two original tracks that feel both introspective and rhythmically engaging. They build a nuanced, atmospheric world that invites listeners to move their feet while simultaneously engaging their minds, a balancing act that Mäder performs with a veteran’s ease.

The release’s brilliant second act comes from Hannover’s rising talent, Luise, who takes the track "Strings" on a captivating detour. Her remix is a masterclass in transformation, leaving the Deep House origins behind for the textured, kinetic realm of Breakbeat. The foundation of her version is a bassline of pure magnetism, a robust and propulsive force that commands immediate attention. Around this powerful core, Luise artfully arranges the original's components: subtle vocal hooks become ethereal echoes, and warm synth pads expand into vast, atmospheric layers that ripple across the rugged rhythm. This reinterpretation complements the A-side perfectly, offering a different yet equally valid perspective on the source material. It provides a dynamic, club-ready energy that showcases Luise’s distinct creative voice and production skill, making the entire "Understanding" EP a compelling showcase of contemporary German electronic music from two distinct, yet equally talented, artistic viewpoints.
