Famous for featuring the crème de la crème of the so-called Indie Dance/Dark Disco scene, the mighty San Francisco-based powerhouse Roam Recordings releases its first EP of the ongoing revolution around the sun: The suitably titled “Dance Therapy”, by rising & shining Colombian artist Nicolás Saavedra a.k.a. Kabinett, treats our ailments with two out-of-the-box originals and three magnificent remixes made with love by none other than Hardway Bros, Zillas On Acid, and Jason Peters, the label honcho himself.

With well-received appearances on Internasjonal, Kaputt.wav, Playground, Sonido Moderna, Boite Music, Discos Platino, and Duro, just to name a few, Nicolás has established himself as one of the most interesting acts of the current South American electronic music soundscape by delivering a colourful output filled with references from many a genre of the past, twisted and adapted to the modern taste of the audiences out there.

Premiered here, Zillas On Acid’s take on “Catching Up With Reality” comes embedded on, guess what, an insurmountable amount of acid, the specialty of the boys. In a time in which a faster-and-faster pace reigns on the dance floor, decreasing the BPM of an original for a remix is a bold move. That’s exactly what Thomas & James did: The 122 to 110 drop turned the theme into a completely different experience and added an extra procedure to the successful therapy.

Schrödinger’s Box is proud to unveil the latest EP from Catalonia’s own Adrian Marth (SXDNS188), a standout name in the dark side of the electronic music scene. Known for his analogue-driven sounds and dance-inducing productions, Marth brings a fresh perspective to the label with a collection of five tracks – four blood-thirsty originals and a fangy remix by Legowelt – that explore the nuanced interplay between light and dark, rhythm and melody. Each track on “Labyrinth Mind”, soon available on digital and vinyl formats, is a testament to Adrian’s mastery, drawing listeners into a world where the past and future collide in a dazzling display of sonic ingenuity.

One of the standout moments of the EP is "Beverly Hills," a track that exudes a sense of opulent nostalgia. The melodies loom with a majestic presence, intertwining with retro elements to paint a picture of 1980s grandeur. It's an operatic homage to a bygone but not forgotten era, infused with a modern twist that makes it both timeless and contemporary. The lush production and emotive undertones make "Beverly Hills" a track that is sure to leave a lasting impression on its passersby.

PREMIERE: Machinete - La Rapina [Confused Machines]

Amid the ongoing humanitarian crises in Gaza and Lebanon – marked by devastating violence against Palestinian civilians and escalating Israeli military aggression in Southern Lebanon –, Machinete’s forthcoming release, “Cost To Cost”, arrives as both a protest and a lifeline. The Italian duo and the Israeli label Confused Machines pledge all proceeds to The Ghassan Abu Sittah Children’s Fund (https://gascf.org/), an organization delivering urgent medical aid to injured youth and bolstering healthcare infrastructure in these war-torn regions. By channeling their art into direct action, Marco Segato and Pietro Giubilato transform noise into a cry for justice, underscoring music’s potential to confront oppression and amplify solidarity.

Recorded sporadically between 2012 and 2020 in Venice and Milan, the album’s ten tracks are a testament to raw, unfiltered creativity. Machinete stitches together clanging Post-Industrial rhythms, corrosive Electro textures, and the searing buzz of Acid techno, crafting a soundscape that feels both chaotic and meticulously anarchic. These improvisational sessions, spanning nearly a decade, capture the duo’s evolution—shifting from murky Venetian alleyways to Milan’s concrete pulse – while maintaining a visceral, almost predatory energy. The parcel thrives on contradiction: mechanized beats collide with human urgency, dystopian noise morphs into hypnotic grooves, and every distorted synth line carries the weight of sleepless nights.

Premiered here, the title track epitomizes the album’s ethos. Here, Machinete merges Techno’s relentless drive with Industrial’s dystopian grit, conjuring a world where factories hum with malevolent intent. Gloomy basslines stalk beneath layers of metallic percussion, while eerie, pitch-shifted vocals echo like warnings from a collapsing world. It’s a raw, suffocating listen – a sonic vortex where darkness feels both oppressive and liberating. This fusion of genres isn’t just stylistic; it’s aural dissent, mirroring the chaos of conflict and the resilience it demands. With “Cost To Cost”, Machinete doesn’t just soundtrack rebellion – they weaponise sound for healing.

“Rainbow Railway: VA Pt.II” is a diverse compilation from Kyiv-based label Regulardisco. The incredible 21-piece VA brings together artists from Ukraine and beyond, including Belgium, Brazil, and the UK, creating a vibrant sonic journey. Seamlessly blending genres, the album opens with abstract, leftfield sounds before transitioning into indie dance, Italo, and space disco. The mood then shifts toward darker, pulsating rhythms with dark disco and Chicago house, eventually building to a lively finale of fast-paced progressive house infused with breakbeat energy. Each track flows naturally into the next, making it a cohesive yet dynamic listening experience that showcases the label’s eclectic taste and global reach.

Premiered here, “Inquisitive Nature” by Antwerp’s Hola Olas is a theme bursting with energetic synth work and infectious grooves. Its upbeat tempo and swirling arpeggios create a cosmic, melodic atmosphere, perfectly balancing dancefloor appeal with dreamy escapism. The layered textures and driving rhythm make it a memorable highlight, embodying the compilation’s adventurous spirit while standing out as a vibrant, synth-driven gem. Hola Olas delivers a track that’s both hypnotic and uplifting, leaving a lasting impression.
