There was one question which burned brighter and more pressing than any other. It had been troubling him for some time and had plagued his very existence.

'Were they in the future and was this real at all?'

Dreamers have always pondered the meaning of life and whilst some were regarded as esteemed men of thought others were simply regarded as lunatics and mavericks.

'What was he?'

As he wandered slowly through the city streets he looked around him at the miscellaneous faces which passed by without knowing. Little did they know about such big questions.

'Is this future now?'

This is a track taken from a new EP on Early Reflex predominantly made up of remixes of material originally recorded by Alec Pace. This track however, remains untouched and untampered. A new original which features deconstructed breaks, rough high pitched electronics and a nod to old school bass music culture.

✢ ‘Spherae’ marks the return to scenes of Turin-based producer and DJ Alec Pace landing now on Infinite Machine with a mind-melter EP aimed for the club.

✢Following a 2-year long hiatus from his latest original work ‘Future Now?’ and previous releases on acclaimed labels such as All Centre and Nous Disques, the Italian producer delivers a new psychedelic blend of post-grime and experimental-bass condensed into a powerful club-ready 4-tracker.

✢ While touching GQOM-esque and post-grime atmospheres and both pushing BPM-speed limits forwards, ‘Spherae’ explores further into experimental-territories yet remaining true to its club nature.

[Swine Premiere] Alec Pace - Preemah [IM110]

London-based producer object blue has been a staple name in rules-breaking dance music for many years. From the blistering club 2024 single ‘chaos discoideum’ to the theatrical unconventionalism of Grotto, her return to TT after 2018's groundbreaking debut Do you plan to end a siege?, object blue’s vision of electronic music is singular and refreshing.
 
“Recently in clubs, I've been starting at 140BPM then switching to 110BPM in the second half of the set. I love exploring that left turn, after the club had been served up fast beats all night. As always, I keep flitting between density and sparseness, blurry and sharp, transcendental and cheeky... but always following the vein that runs through them all.”

A polymathic affair spanning the broadest musical bandwidth, French outlet Lowlife Cartel resurface with ‘Vuota Beatitudine’ - a fresh 8-track VA extrapolating their eclectic approach to contagious effect. 

Draped in surreally murky cover art courtesy of Paris-based artist Léa Bouton alias Absolemabsoluxe / graphic design by Metaphore Collectif affiliate Nicolas Guillerminet, this new release features contributors from distinct mental and geographical regions alike: French-American chopped-and-screwed shock outfit HERNVNDEZ ft. MXSTVH, a hi-tech DnB / raging electro crossover from Mexican producer Jegsaha, BFDM & Tresor alum Jean Redondo on duty, junglistic jazz stunts by Chicago’s KSETDEX, German ambient voodooist Lorica, spectral post-indus from PRESENTE, Italian vibist Alec Pace up with a ragga-informed vengeance and Memphis-via-Mexico style slowed-’n-throwed madness from MVRKMVCHINX. 

Lovers of Southern lo-fi rap narratives will find in both HERNVNDEZ ft. MXSTVH 'Artes Oscuras' and MVRKMVCHINX ‘Shutter' the kind of lo-slung gangsta heat to wake up both grillz-teethed zombies and have these gold-felloed Cadillacs’ afterburners flaring. Hailing from the Mexican capital city, Jegsaha fires off a barrage of breaks-laden fire, processed vox menace and frantic bass onslaughts that go straight for the jugular. Fragmenting the groove down to molecular abstraction, Redondo treats us to a mischievous hybrid of ghetto-tech’y jack and discombobulated post-pop experiment with ‘You!’, whereas US producer KSETDEX welds a smokey jazz piano onto a muscular UK bass chassis on the addictive ‘Gemini’. 

Flip it over and there’s Frankfurt-based producer Lorica dishing out a hypnotic slice of atmospheric electronics, both immersively brooding and unimpeachably uplifting in equal measure. ‘Vuota Beatitudine’, the track that gives its title to the EP, works a distinctively paradoxical strain of rattling floor rhythms and zero-G escapology, in limbo betwixt heaven and hell. Conjuring up an infectious palette of ragga-infused maneuvers and packing massive bass and snare-heavy punch, Alec Pace’s fiery ‘Mantra Separation’ is prototypical dancehall arson rolled into a steely techno membrane. A wide-ranging display of explosively diverse, satisfyingly weird sounds to keep minds and bodies on the edge.
