Human Endeavour Records, the newest member of the Ransom Note Records label family, returns with ‘Confession Time’, its second release and first solo artist EP from DJ, vocalist and producer Anastasia Zems.

Four tracks of heads down, mid-tempo sludge that sees her thread the needle between acid, EBM, new beat and cold wave.

On the inspiration behind the EP, Anastasia explains: “Behind each of the tracks there is a story about something personal. It so happens that my vocals usually appear in tracks during improvisation and most often do not change. This is my way of expressing feelings. It turns out that this is the time for confession.”

'Confession Time' will be released digitally on 4th November 2022. Pre-order here: https://bit.ly/HE002AnastasiaZems

Confession Time

Anastasia Zems - 'Confession Time' [HE002]

Terra Magica Rec. first 7’’ release „Chiqui Tan“ by the label heads Hektisch Sprengen DJs will be limited to 250 copies. The A-side hits the listener with some early 90s Electronic-Downtempo-Cumbia-Colombian-Venezuelan-Tablemountain-Dub-Grooves. This reminiscence is leading to an extra full blown up 21st century Bass-Queen alert. And these HSDJ dials hit you into a stripped naked sample of Nigerian-Swedish DJ-dentist-mainstream-star Dr. Alban
and his Eurotrash-90s-Pophouse-anthem “No Hash Hash, No Cocaine”. This is for sure no “Ottonormal”-90s-revival thing!

Well its been a while but amongst the many studio sessions of working on other artists releases as well as lots of video & visual creating we are pleased to shout that our very own Sprechen CEO Chris Massey aka 'Massey' has found the time to drop his 3rd release on the label with 'It's Stretford, Not Berghain'.

Inside My Head sees the mutant disco flags flying high with a twisted Italo synth bass melody of epic throbbing proportions partnered up with the squelchiest of ear worm style synth stabs that goes truly into head mess territory. A proper 2am, peak time serotonin spanker that sounds like Roman Flügel Geht's Noch? having a session with Fad Gadget.

Named after the legendary party spot in South Manchester (if you know then you know), Gnome Terrace sees Massey step into jacking house territory with an initial deeper journey that features some suitably cosmic-esque strings & synth work form the legend that is Dan Wainwright! Oh and it all explodes in a massive hands aloft piano breakdown for a hefty dose of 'wooooowweeeeee!'

Full props & love to Richie V from Supernature for coming up with the E.P. name on this one, drop us a line or buy us a beer and we'll tell you how it came about.

Canadian label Breathing Room Records is back with their third digital release after a lengthy pandemic-related hiatus. A little over two years after their previous outing, they are happy to introduce Tropica, a duo from Newcastle, UK. Forest Floor is their debut EP and it includes three original tracks as well as a remix from Toronto-based producer and DJ, Ciel. This is the first remix in Breathing Room’s catalogue.

All three originals are slow and chuggy. Monstera Deliciosa, the opening track, is driven by warm chords and a wobbly synth line while a siren-esque pad weaves in and out. Birds of Paradise continues on a similar wavelength but dives a little further into acid territory with its lead and stays true to its name with different birds contributing to the overall ambience. Devil’s Ivy is a little darker in tone with it’s delayed pads, a didgeridoo and haunting scream-like samples permeating throughout. Ciel’s take on Monstera Deliciosa stays true to the original but introduces a juxtaposing, almost playful lead and tougher percussion, giving the track a faster, bouncier feel.

Tracklist:

1 Monstera Deliciosa
2 Birds of Paradise
3 Devil’s Ivy
4 Monstera Deliciosa (Ciel’s One Shot
Remix)

PREMIERE – A-Tweed X Oltrefuturo – Ashtray Lips (Haus of beats)

Husband-wife duo Certain Times are a synthpop project based in Brooklyn, NY with a long musical history in the Atlanta music scene– members of 2010s garage-rock band Carnivores and more recently Nathaniel producing records for Sub Pop band Omni.

In Certain Times, when the world was shrouded in an eerie stillness, an inexplicable phenomenon known as the Double Phantom gripped the land. It was a phenomenon where, naturally, nothing seemed real anymore.

The Double Phantom was an occurrence, casting a disorienting spell upon everything it touched. Shadows became tangible, whispers echoed twice, and reality appeared as a blurred reflection of itself.

In the heart of this perplexing enigma, a lone wanderer found themselves trapped. Their existence felt fractured, caught between two worlds, forever teetering on the edge of comprehension. Time lost meaning, and their own reflection became a haunting apparition.

In their struggle to escape the clutches of the Double Phantom, the wanderer discovered a hidden strength—a resilience born from the depths of their own uncertainty. Through sheer determination, they pieced together the fragments of their fractured reality, defying the unnatural forces that sought to engulf them.

And in the end, the wanderer emerged from the Double Phantom, forever changed. They carried with them the scars of an otherworldly encounter, a testament to their unwavering spirit amidst the chaos of certain times when naturally, nothing could be taken for granted.
