My releases

Animalia presents the first in a series of 2 x 12” compilations… For volume one, comes Microevolutions… An homage to the label’s continued growth and evolution, a label dedicated to authentic celebrations of talented local artists. Here, Animalia returns to its roots with a release compiled by the members of Menage (plus special guests Ebbs n Flow), all compiled in the northern suburbs of Naarm (Melbourne).  The compilation showcases the various moods and facets that make up the deep yet somehow undefinable Animalia sound.  From deep techno to UK garage and everything in between, Microevolutions is an earnest reflection of the diversity of sound that makes Animalia so special.

Dashiell - Going Nowhere, Fast   12" (Previews)

Pollinate Records founder Dashiell offers his first LP "This Colourful World" to the label. 

The album was recorded at his home studio in Coburg, Melbourne and features field recordings of the surrounding area. The process began at the beginning of 2020. Originally intended as an ambient album, the project morphed over the course of two years, adding and subtracting rhythms and varying tempos until coming to its conclusion, a sonic rendition of an uncertain future, equally as optimistic as it is cynical.

Dashiell - This Colourful World (Snippets)

Dashiellʼs debut LP on his own imprint Pollinate Records is set to hit the virtual
shelves this August.
Recorded from 2020 - 2022 in the Melbourne suburb of Coburg, the album
features field recordings of the artists local area and surroundings, as well as
experimental synthesis and drum patterns. Unlike his more dance floor
orientated releases on Felt Sense and Animalia, the album exposes a deeper,
more personal reflection of the artist.
Undefinable by a single genre, Dashiell explores varying styles and narratives
throughout the piece, revisiting familiar glitchy territories and exploring foreign
ambient soundscapes. The work delivers a sonic rendition of an uncertain
future, as optimistic as it is cynical.
Dashiell has just recently returned from a string of European shows with his
band Ménage, including gigs at The Breakfast Club party in Amsterdam and
Harmony Records party in Prague. With more time now to focus on his Label
Pollinate, Dashiell is determined to shine light on Melbourne based producers
and artists with more releases from the label expected this year.
The album will be released on CD and digital formats available through the
Pollinate Records Bandcamp.

PREMIERE : Dashiell - Casey's Theme

It’s always interesting to see how people are evolving over time. I had already told you the story of AC130 (or, more recently Yaroslav M), who first appeared at the local parties as a “video guy” and then landed on Griffe, Lonewolf and some other labels. Today’s story is about another character from our local scene in Lviv, Ukraine. Vitya Payal’nik, because of his signature moves, is one of the most recognizable dancers at almost any good party in the city. I was later told that he had a solid musical background (in rock music), but usually, he was just a dancer. So, when he came and said “You know, I’ll have a vinyl debut at Late Night Superglue very soon”, I was surprised, to say the least. Knowing the label, because, as I remember, AC130 had their record in his collection, I asked him to show me this one. And, well, here we go today.

Never afraid to vary their musical output, PIFF Records has previously released music spanning UKG, dub techno, and deep house. Over the course of 10 tracks, the label showcases artists who are equally unafraid to blur sonic boundaries.

Coaster Roller by Hannd is an uplifting trance banger complete with a chugging bassline and ethereal soundscapes taken straight from the turn of the millennium Balearic coastline.

Transient comes as part of a new 4 track EP:  Forest Speaks by Asarova.

Transient is a fusion of progressive house and trance. This up-beat club tool aims to transport listeners to an exhilarating dance floor in the heart of the wilderness.

@boyinnature, emerges under the name Asarova. Hailing from the wilds of Boorloo/Perth, Australia, he has graced our ears with a musical offering that echoes the rhythms of the forest. A journey meticulously crafted, weaving through the lush tapestry of tribal rhythms and venturing into the expansive domain of progressive house and trance.

PREMIERE: Asarova - Transient

🌀👽 A Portal To The Unknown — 5 rotations of @neptunediscs 

Proud and super grateful to share this 13-track VA, (with tracks by Biodive, Rambal Cochet, Bolam and Dylan Forbes + more) artists who’ve been on the journey from the start, alongside newcomers who continue to capture the old-school sounds of house and trance, pumping prog, and extra-terrestrial techno influenced beats.

The 6th release on Foresight Records is almost here! This time Foresight invited Neo to bless our ears with his captivating take on progressive house. Neo is a 20-year-old musician from Amsterdam, who finds inspiration in the dusty gems of his father’s 90s vinyl collection. Influenced by the sound of that era, Neo sets out to forge a modern yet nostalgic take on progressive, techno, acid and trance.  The result is a 4 track EP spanning the fields of house, techno, and trance. Binding the spectra of these styles together with trippy motives, striking stabs, and intriguing synth lines. 

Big Warps is a proggy, dreamy track making use of recognizable and compelling trance vocal pads. For this EP we have asked Tifra to remix his favourite track of the EP. This has resulted in an amazing housey take on Big Warps.

PREMIERE: Neo - Big Warps (Tifra Remix)

Artist: Nizar Sarakbi
Title: Naked Groove (Incl. HearThug Remix)
Label: Sex Tapes From Mars
Cat No: SEXTAPE008
Format: 12” Vinyl

Tracklist:

A1. Mon Amore
A2. Mon Amore (HearThuG 1001Nuits Remix)
B1. Synthetic Disco
B2. Red Cross

Bristol-based Sex Tapes From Mars continues its vinyl-only odyssey with the latest transmission from Ukrainian, half-Syrian, Nizar, whose Naked Groove EP fuses minimalist techno with a surreal twist, backed with vintage hardware and delivered with robotic precision. An exercise in controlled chaos, the EP embodies the label’s ethos of pushing boundaries through unconventional sound design, where abstract and wiggy, skipping grooves drive forward.

Across its four tracks, the EP navigates through a warped sonic terrain, stitching together fragmented rhythms and glitch-infused textures with a hypnotic, purposeful pulse. Nizar masterfully dismantles familiar late 80s and 90s techno frameworks, creating space for alien melodies, stuttering beats, and deeply physical low-end. The result is a sound that feels both stripped-down and intricately detailed—dance music at its most unhinged, with a raw edge that demands attention. The track's taut frameworks often build tension without release, offering a disquieting and strange dancefloor experience.

Among the highlights is a standout remix of "Mon Amore" by Hearthug, who twists the original into an even more disorienting version of itself—manipulating rhythm, space, and atmosphere to create something warped yet irresistibly groovy and swooning.

With Naked Groove, Nizar solidifies his status as a purveyor of leftfield techno curiosities, delivering a record that’s equal parts alien and captivating, uniquely exploring the fringes of a plethora of genres, and delivering a body of work that’s as unsettling as it is danceable.

Nizar Sarakbi - Naked Groove (Incl. HearThug Remix) (SEXTAPE008)

@outdom @nizar-sarakbi

The Parisian-based label Outdom Records is now introducing his fifth release on wax, presenting a fresh association of two proficient artists on the electro/tech international scene. On one side, we are welcoming the acclaimed Ukrainian, half Syrian producer : Nizar Sarakbi, part of Sonic Resistance, navigating through stripped out techno, electro, minimal and dub influences, with his distinctive touch of quirkiness and unique sound design.

Nizar delivered with this release two strong after-hour tools, building hypnotic tension along the way and a recognizable skipping groove with raw edges. Expect two quite unconventionally groovy curiosities, packed with numerous stumping drum and percussion surprises, vintage in its core and alien in its soul.

On the other hand, we are glad to introduce to the label BOOH, the French prolific Producer, head of BOOOoo! Records, has definitely always one trick up his sleeve. He’s bringing us this time along an intricate robotic excursion in space, filled with chatting vocoders, gritty electro textured basslines and acidic vintage lines breaking through a raw techno oriented rhythm.

We will let you recognize and appreciate the “2001: A Space Odyssey” movie references and samples along the A1 track, settling the mood for a unique dance floor oriented sci-fi experience. Do not put in anyone's hands, use at your own risk!

This record is definitely aiming at a more leftfield techno and electro DNA expanding Outdom Records’ genre sonic explorations, with versatile tracks ideal for peak time and after-hours dancefloor situations. A strong reference to late 90s & early 00s surreal aesthetic, backed up by this release’s singular, raw and hypnotic artworks.

[PREMIERE] Do It (5 AM Mix) - Nizar Sarakbi | Outdom Records [2024]

Sometimes, two worlds collide and result in an utterly different and beautiful universe. That is exactly what happened with the brand-new parcel, coming soon on digital and vinyl formats, from the rising & shining Paris-based label Outdom: BOOH, hailing from France, and Nizar Sarakbi, from Austria, share an interesting blend of influences and references through their “Split EP”. Equally divided: Two tracks each, showcasing the talent and creativity of the young producers.

With a sonority defined in the official PR text as “vintage in its core and alien in its soul”, Nizar Sarakbi has some hot stuff published on Sex Tapes From Mars, Tancido, Mindhelmet, and Vienna Worldwide, to name a few.

“Black Forest Dub”, premiered here, is a piece that can only be defined as mind-blowing! End of the review.

Nah, let’s keep going for a few words longer: What a tune! This should have been released twenty years ago when a young dinosaur had alpine energy and fit knees. It’s like Nizar teamed up with a bunch of old-school Jazz scholars and broadened the result of the jam session with extra percussive elements and an acid gait. Kudos!

You can find (and buy) this and other music pearls on the Bandcamp page of the label: https://outdom.bandcamp.com/

Luschn & Roman Khropko & Vitya Payal’nik - Too Late For Emulate EP [LIS001]

System Error is delighted to present the last release from DJ and producer Vitya, Sign Language EP, set for release July 08 via System Error.

Born and raised in a family of musicians in Lviv, Ukraine, Vitya's musical journey spans acoustic guitar, bass, and an evolution into electronic music production. He began composing music at the age of 18 using Guitar Pro software, which laid the groundwork for his understanding of arrangement skills that remain central to his production today.


“I got into electronic music at 26,” Vitya reflects. “It opened a whole new world for me. Hearing techno at a local rave felt like a live concert that never ended.”


His first release arrived in 2022 on Late Night Superglue, marking the beginning of an exciting artistic journey. Since then, Vitya has released music on labels including 199, Tancido, Fib, Sonic Weapons of Love, Lisplk and Soundscapes Digital.


Vitya’s philosophy toward music-making is grounded in openness: “I never push the process, but allow it to happen naturally. For me, music is a journey, not a path to recognition, but a form of expression and discovery.”


Vitya - Sign Language EP will be available in both digital and Vinyl Formats, with shipping commencing on July 8, 2025. Pre-order the EP now via System Error's Bandcamp page.
