Sinistarr - Live @ Acid Night 9

Following her contribution to Superclásico Vol. 2, we’re thrilled to welcome Closet Yi to the Clasico family properly with Cloudborne 888: four tracks of psychedelic but focused electronics.

We’ve been long-time admirers of Closet Yi’s work – from early gems on No Bad Days through to standout releases on Hotflush, Honey Badger and Peggy Gou’s Gudu label. Hailing from Seoul but increasingly active across the UK and Europe, she’s graced booths at Village Underground, Corsica Studios and Lost Village with the best of them, and made her Boiler Room debut alongside firm friends of the label Finn, Anz, Mogwaa and Sharda — need we say more?

Written in the wake of a Chinese tour last year, where Closet “played music in some places that really expanded my vision,” Cloudborne 888 takes cues from cities the size of small countries to mountain towns like Dali, where, in her words, “the nature was bizarre.” The result is some of the trippiest, most immersive music we’ve released yet: hazy synth washes, endlessly delayed textures and percussive grooves that feel like they’re unravelling and reassembling themselves in real time.

But while it drifts and bends, it never meanders — each track carries a pulse, a direction, and a restless momentum. It’s club music built on movement and memory, tension and release, with a sense of spatial depth that opens up new corners on every listen. Rhythmic storytelling between structure and spontaneity, made for open roads, dark rooms, and anywhere else you might find yourself lost in thought.
In Closet’s words: “the piece is a reflection of movement – physically and mentally – and I hope it gives people space to zone out for a bit and wander and imagine.”

The title track is available on July 16th before the full EP is released on July 31st.

Early Reflex continues its Eyes series with a powerful return from Brooklyn-based producer
Sobolik, whose distinctive and emotionally resonant club music first landed on the imprint with
Opening track “Sandbox” is a hypnotic roller driven by a constant mantric bass and led by
ethereal, airy synths. The piece flows with emotional clarity, balancing softness and propulsion in
equal measure—an entrancing meditation through rhythm and texture.
On the flip, “Turning Back” explores a darker, more angular energy. Grime-inflected and
basslines. The track moves with restrained intensity, echoing internal shifts and the slow
untangling of anxious loops.
With Eyes III, Sobolik expands on their singular voice within experimental club music, continuing
Early Reflex’s commitment to foregrounding emotionally charged, forward-thinking sonic work.

‘Eyes III’ is available on all platforms starting from Friday 1st August 2025.

Japanese explorer of the deep Dayzero is next up on Nerve Collect with his Step Inna EP, which brings six tracks of meticulously crafted post-dubstep rhythm and bass. 

Tokyo-based Dayzero has long been providing a link between the Far East and the UK underground. His futuristic sounds rewire dubstep, techno, breaks and bass with psychedelic colours and spaced out moods on leading labels like Livity Sound and ZamZam. He has a new album on the way this year, but first comes this latest intersection of body-driven, mind-expanding sounds.  

'Revival' is engineered for full-body movement. It's intelligent, instinctive and just a bit unhinged as watery droplets and a frazzled lead warp space and time while mangled bass drills down deep. 'Step Inna' skanks through a dystopian dreamscape with chanting dub vocals. They echo like encrypted mantras as calculated bass patterns ground the groove, percussive hits launch you skyward and then collapse inward. 'Antibody' has spring-loaded bass that rebounds under rogue circuitry while the rhythm stutters in broken, syncopated spasms below a smattering of wobbly toms.

'Remains' is highly pressured and kinetic, a thudding rhythm with overdriven tribal percussion pining you to the 'floor. 'Alignment' is a tectonic transmission sent back from tomorrow—mechanical yet organic, the bassline rumbles with subatomic weight beneath ghostly pads and static-charged synth lines. 'Gravity Phrase' is where ancient rag	a meets future bass culture. Stringy Indian melodies linger in the shuffling dub rhythms and wordless vocals drift like vapour trails in a soundscape where mysticism and machinery collide. 

This is an EP of precision-guided portals to the outer edges of bass music.

ITX039 MANTRA - LOCKED IN, LOCKED ON

Sin Afuera (“Without Outside”) is the new collaborative EP from Chilean producer @Imaabs, label manager of NAAFI and cofounder of Máquina Simple, and @OtherIslands, a vocalist and producer from London’s underground club scene. Both based in Mexico City, the two artists share a close creative partnership shaped by a mutual interest in exploring the limits of global electronic music.

The EP’s title refers to the myth of closed systems—those that define themselves by casting an outside as dissident, migrant, or simply noise, and enforcing its exclusion. Through hybridity, dissonance, and distortion, the record traces the contours of this outside, imagining other ways of being in the world.

Released via NAAFI, the four tracks draw on and destabilize the rhythmic logics of dembow, baile funk, grime, dancehall, reggaeton, and jungle. Frenetic percussion and glistening synths meet expansive sound design: ASMR flickers, field recordings, and fragments of unintelligible speech bleed through swung grooves and shimmering textures. The result is a sound that is luminous and tense, shot through with longing and evoking a space that feels at once intimate and yet out of reach.

Laying down the gauntlet for the future direction of the label, the Tectonic Sound comp comprises many producers making their Tectonic debut, inc. re:ni, Beatrice M., Yushh, Flora Yin Wong, and Sicaria, alongside stalwarts like 2562, Shed, and Distance. It’s a journey through experimental, bass-heavy electronic music, with almost all tracks created by the artists specifically with Tectonic’s sound in mind - at an intersection where dubstep and techno meet.
 
"More so than just the sound, the music is in tune with the real ethos of the early dubstep scene. People talk about ‘heads in a scene - but it’s led by hearts really. I’ve always tried to follow my heart when it comes to music and all the music here is from people I trust to do something worth communicating with the world. It feels like Tectonic has been a part of many communities over the years, and there is something that binds all the releases together, something that speaks for itself in a way that goes beyond words, something that’s instinctive and immediate.” - Pinch
