Born in Manchester, raised in Zambia and now based in San Francisco, Banksia is a vivacious earth dweller starting his own imprint Ordinary Pleasures with a two-track first short-length effort called 'Tala'...For the premiere, we've selected 'Sonore' in which Banksia creates the sensation of being lost in an ever-changing world, trudging relentlessly through uncanny rhythms devoid of any sense of anchorage. Incorporating light-hearted bell chimes, bubbling synth pads, and highly-arranged drum rhythms, this is a bona fide house anthem.

not even noticed are an incredibly talented German duo who have been laser focussed on their signature sound since their foundation in 2020. Hailing from Frankfurt & Leipzig, Carsten & Lucas have amassed a gorgeous catalogue of music that incorporates the ethereality of Trance combined with the gritty, heads-down feeling of classic Acid House and Breakbeat. Their latest EP Source Transformation lands on Faux Poly this Spring.

This release showcases the artists inherent flair for treading the line between delicately uplifting melodies and rattling heavy bass. Each track conjures up a beautifully atmospheric future-acid world that is a dream to get lost in.

Words from the artist:
We started producing this EP in the late summer of 2023 in which some of our project’s biggest releases had dropped. Seeking for a way to stick to our signature sound without repeating ourselves we aimed for new grooves and patterns to combine with our sound sphere. The first three tracks of the EP were produced within one month, while Astral Surge was a few months older and happened to be rearranged to fit into the overall vibe of the EP. When Joe and Warren reached out to us to work with them on a Faux Poly project we had a feeling that these would be the tracks that could make an EP. We’re even more glad the feeling was mutual.

Tracklist:

1. Light Beams 
2. Emargico 
3. Low Grid 
4. Astral Surge

PREMIERE: not even noticed - Low Grind [Faux Poly]

UK-based producer and engineer of emotive, off-world soundscapes, Slolek, returns to Of Paradise with Object Desire, a 4-track collection of saturated electronica, experimental bass, and fractured jungle.

A cinematically tinged journey across arid landscapes and through cavernous rooms, Object Desire is a desert-kissed masterpiece of expertly harvested sounds, an incredibly majestic and thought-provoking journey with a darkly ambient core.

Object Desire

PREMIERE: Slolek - Locked-Room [Of Paradise]

It had seemed as if it might never come, the clouds had been absent from this part of town for ever so long and what had once been lush, dense and green had shrunk and dried beyond any sort of recognition. The summer had been brutal, long and brutal.

They had dreamed that one day the heavens might descend once again to save them all from the bitter heat which had become their tormentor.

Now, as darkness fell across the land, they watched and waited with eager anticipation for the sweet moment of release.

It was raining once again…

Rezonant Body showcase a new wave of Bass and Techno on a split EP from Vilhelm and Daddy Hyphen. Think deep, ominous basslines and abstract sound design, with one foot in the club and another in a distant galaxy.

PREMIERE: Daddy Hyphen - It's Raining (Sativa) [Rezonant Body]

He watched from his balcony, gazing as the water moved slowly inwards as the sun set in the distance. It were as if the world had fallen asleep, there was nothing but the sound of the woods and the trees around him as he gazed out upon the shimmering ocean. 

The tides under the moonlight were a beautiful thing - they operated under their own timeline, moving in and out in line with the circadian rhythms of a chaotic world. Yet still, they resembled peace. 

He retired to bed, dreaming of the world beyond the window. 

Sam Goku is set to release a new EP on Dekmantel, it is a tour de force of a record demonstrating a deep knowledge of ethereal dance music as he balances the sensibilities of Trance and Techno with careful precision.

PREMIERE: Sam Goku - Tides Under The Moonlight [Dekmantel]

As they travelled down the long winding river, they left everything that they knew behind. This was to be the journey of a lifetime, a voyage like no other, into the unknown, into the abyss.

Their small boat weaved and floated atop chaotic waves and tides, between jagged rocks and pointed shores.

Yet, they were nimble and agile, like a lizard in the stream.

They would simply go on and on, until they found peace in the great beyond.

Reasons To Dance are set to release a new EP from co founder Dåser who holds no punches on a fast paced, glitched out EP which channels elements of Bass and Techno and features a killer remix from Sputnik One. Listen to ‘Lizard In The Stream’ below:

PREMIERE: Dåser - Lizard In The Stream [Reasons To Dance]

The Concealed Club Manifesto project pays homage to the mid 2000s underground UK club music scene, an era of music which acts as well of inspiration and creativity for the Nouveau Monica, and has no doubt helped shaped his sound. For the French producer, the UK club scene holds a special allure and mystique, especially since he observed this phenomenon from afar, and was idealized as one of the most “pivotal” moments in underground club culture, making it seem intangible, hence concealed. Nouveau Monica’s sound palette is deeply rooted in the UK scene, which he combines with his own personal musical background. This mid 2000s UK club sound is what the producer defines as his “Golden Era” and the genres created during that time are the building blocks of the Concealed Club Manifesto EP.

PREMIERE: Zillas On Acid - Mars Hum [Neubau]

It were as if he couldn't find his grip as the world spun recklessly all around him. All he wished was that he might find something to cling on to which might cement him to the ground and bring him back to reality. Instead everything was blurry and his grip, non existent. Old butter hands was out for the night and there was no stopping the ride...

He wandered between the people and the places, the faces and the strangers, the dancers and the wanderers lost within the midst of the night. For they too had lost their grip. We all had really, the world was a big buttery pool within which we all swam beneath the cloak of darkness.

Tammo Hesselink delivers a technical masterclass on a new EP for Scottish label Redstone Press. Deep, pensive electronic textures with tones for the heads.

PREMIERE: Tammo Hesselink  - Butter Hands [Redstone Press]

They moved slowly across the desert sand, leaving a trail in their wake. The stars flickered up above against a deep coal sky, wispy and wondrous in the midst of the night. It might as well be night for the sun had never reached these parts, up on a distant planet far away from everything they’d ever known.

They’d been here for one week, amidst a barren landscape on the red ash. Perhaps this would one day become home but for now it felt as if everything was fighting against them in a bid to make them leave. Be it the cold wind of the morning or the raucous heat of the afternoon.

This was a wild world of a place.

DMX Krew continues his prolific form with the release of a new EP built upon deep, rugged, evil sounding electro for No Static / Automatic.

PREMIERE: DMX Krew - Non Euclidean Co-ordinates [No Static / Automatic]

We're not going to suggest that having experience as a carpet worker in an auction house has been the shaping of Circadian Rhythm's talents but we're not going to rule it out either. He's got a rather distinctive style to his sounds and he must have picked it up somewhere, why not at the auction house? The Swedish music-maker has signed up to Mr Tophat's label Junk Yard Connections to release his Chateau EP. We liked it so much that we asked him to curate a mix for us and, once he'd supplied the aural goods, we shone our light down on him for a friendly interrogation - http://www.theransomnote.co.uk/music/mixes/circadian-rhythm-the-shine-a-light-on-ransom-note-mix/
