We met Volen through a tip from our friends at Cyclone as a Los Angeles-based DJ who was also a natural with production. In 2021 we released Volen's Distortion mini-album on Rhizome Forms. Those heady productions stuck with us and we knew a vinyl would soon be ready. Four years later, with countless hours spent in his Arizona desert sound lab, we present four acidic dancefloor interventions on wax.

“Validation” is immediately lively with a cascading acid groove. Spinning through inversions, the vocal refrains frame the kaleidoscopic dance floor energy of the title track.

The record's a-side finds completeness with the twisted anthem “I've Got to Shower".
Wobbly chords simmer under that famous sample while a slick breakbeat delivers the rhythm.

Side-b arrives with swagger as "Left & Right” rolls in with a mental acid and breakbeat powerplant of a groove.The track's breakdown billows atmosphere while the lower frequencies growl.

Volen saves the starry ecstasy for the final track. “Pump Their Dump” is an upbeat and dreamy acid house journey evolving into a collage of ear candy samples that'll satisfy dancers looking for that positive vibration release.

PREMIERE: Volen - I've Got The Shower [RHZ006]

Up next on Brooklyn’s Scissor & Thread is the latest EP from @Snad, aka Shyam Anand (also known as Spandrel), the Berlin-based artist whose discography already spans labels like Smallville, Minibar, 20:20 Vision, Phonica AM, TerraFirm, Running Back, Cabinet, Kimochi and Dungeon Meat with remixes for names including Seafoam and Chez Damier. 

A trusted selector and producer in the underground, Snad has steadily built a reputation for deeply considered productions that balance classic inspiration with his own forward-thinking edge.

The AM Yard EP opens with its title track, a warm, hazy cut rooted in the kind of bassline architecture that recalls Chez n Trent’s Morning Factory but reshaped with Snad’s signature dreamlike touch. 

Anticip8 fanchors the release with a more direct energy, rolling, insistent and focused on the floor, balancing stripped-down drive of dusty samples wrung through his digitakt with just enough harmonic flourish to pull the listener inward. 

On the flip, The Pursuit follows in a slightly different mode, drawing on experimental vocoder techniques and filtered percussion creating a hypnotic push-and-pull that feels as intricate as it is understated.

Rounding things out, label heads Francis Harris and Anthony Collins, under their Frank & Tony alias, reimagine The Pursuit with their Housebeat Remix, extending its atmospherics into an even deeper headspace that glides effortlessly into late-night territory.

PREMIERE: Jeronimo Watson - Turbulent1

exclusive | Light Blue File - 4th Of The Punks | Distrikt Paris

With “4th Of The Punks”, Light Blue File crafts a track that feels like both an homage and an evolution - a future-facing nod to the golden era of French Touch, refracted through the gritty, underground lens of Distrikt Paris. It’s the standout moment on his Fourth Of The Punks EP: an Electro-House hybrid charged with funk, attitude, and an unmistakable pulse that bridges nostalgia and innovation.

The track launches with a strutting groove - chunky bassline, crisp percussion, and an ever-so-slight Acid sizzle that coils around the rhythm. But it’s the robotic vocal - “Music sounds much better with you” - that seals its mischievous charm, a wink to Daft Punk’s enduring influence without slipping into imitation. Instead, Light Blue File distills that inspiration into something rawer, rougher, and more human in its imperfections.

Every element feels engineered for motion: the way the acid bleeps flutter against the funk-infused low end, the shuffling swing of the drums, the slow build of euphoria that never tips into excess. “4th Of The Punks” doesn’t explode - it locks in, hypnotizing dancers through groove repetition and sleek modulation rather than obvious peaks.

It’s both a love letter and a reinterpretation - the sound of an artist who grew up idolizing machines but now makes them sweat. Light Blue File doesn’t just channel the spirit of French electronic pioneers; he reboots it, infusing it with underground grit and a wink of irreverent fun.
