The tidy little San Franciso imprint, Dream Chimney, hosts a charming collection of lo fi fusion cuts from Parisian artist, Sim Fossil.

Entitled ‘Tidal Figures’, the EP spreads out across 4 original tracks with remixes by Balearic luminary Max Essa and Project Sandro. This EP showcases Sim Fossil's deft ability to weave a sound that is both nostalgic and forward-thinking, electronic yet gently fluid. It’s a deep dive into synth heavy melodies, hazy cosmic clouds, and echoing basslines.

PREMIERE: Sim Fossil - Null Meridian (Project Sandro Remix)

WPP stands for Witness Protection Program — a labour of love and a lab for incubating lovely music. Since 2021, it has operated as a space for artists who wish to remain anonymous and release music they might not be able to share otherwise.

PREMIERE : Troels Yuri - Unlearn

One of contemporary boogie’s biggest grails finds its way back to Star Creature in a full cir-cle moment much larger than 7” in diameter. MIA made her debut for Mango Hill records with 2020’s heart-shaped Valentine’s debut “Something ‘ Bout Your Love”. Shortly after, the label put out a call for producers focusing on the boogie sound at the same time Toronto’s Gil Masuda was previewing some demos looking for vocalists. Star Creature’s Tim Zawada linked the two via IG and an anthem was born.

“Love Me Right” is back in print and properly situated on the A Side delivering that bedroom meets dancefloor tough but tender gangster groove grail sound. The B-Side let’s the freakier flag fly with “Creatures Of The Night” on the prowl. Channeling the lo-fi energy of an undis-covered grail, this basement boogie is ready for the main floor, prime time fierceness served raw.

PREMIERE : MIA - Love Me Right

The A-side opens with the title track: spacious arpeggios and dreamy textures create a soundscape that invites you to get lost in the music, a tribute to the carefree spirit of the ’90s. "Techla" follows with a more minimal, introspective vibe. Its hypnotic bassline feels like a journey into the unknown.

The B-side starts with "Somo", a bright and catchy track full of sunny melodies and feel-good energy, evoking Italo disco moods. Finally, "Flusso Libero" closes the EP with elegance and depth. It features a unique vocal sample that stands out in Feel Fly’s style, tying everything together with a nod to ’90s nostalgia.

Berlin-Hamburg duo Session Victim return to the ever-reliable Delusions Of Grandeur imprint with Chapter Two of their Sidequests trilogy, marking yet another high point in their almost twenty year journey through heartfelt, sample-rich music.  Overflowing with analog warmth, sun-drenched textures and irresistible grooves, the release also features a stellar remix from label co-founder and deep house pioneer Jimpster who kicks off the EP.

Here he takes Behind The Glass into spaced out house-not-house territory.  With crisp drum programming, trademark Rhodes, and subtle pads that build over time, his version delivers that late-night sophistication he's known for—steering the downtempo original in a clubbier direction without losing its blissed-out essence.

Up next we have a brand new collaborative effort with long time friend, label mate and fellow sample nerd Nebraska. Make It Happen is a dusty, slo-mo house groove featuring delicate keys, euphoric strings and that unmistakable sense of journey.  It’s just the kind of low-slung epic house they do best—intimate yet club-ready, nostalgic but never retro.

Flipping over, Too Soft To Be Loud, another collaboration with Viken Arman, follows with a jazzy, almost samba-esque rhythm and swirling atmospherics.  Loose percussion, catchy guitar riffs and Rhodes stabs collide with off-kilter dub FX and soft vocal snippets giving the track a laid-back, live-band feel that harks back to their See You When You Get There era.

Hubcap Candy dives deep into funk territory.  Nebraska’s on point boogie bassline drives the track forward as crunchy drums and layers of synths create a dreamlike haze. It’s loopy, moody, and finds Session Victim at their very best.

Closing out the EP we have the original of Behind The Glass, a headsy, beatdown piece that slowly unfolds over an unconventional brass-like bassline and delicate guitar textures, paying homage to the golden age of Trip Hop haziness and it’s pioneer turntable spirit.

Blending crate-digging sensibilities with forward-thinking production, this latest release solidifies Session Victim’s reputation as genre-blurring tastemakers, and their chemistry with Delusions Of Grandeur remains as strong as ever.

The Agharo Mix Series
Agharo is a language, book, philosophy and tarot deck created by collective member Jaco Perroud. We invite a guest to pick a card at random and create a mix inspired by its meaning. Our 18th submission comes from @laion from Amsterdam who is also Part of thePhilosophica. Follow: https://www.instagram.com/laion.music/

About

Hey there!! I'm Laion, 99% producer and 1% DJ - for very special occasions mostly! I've actually been a DJ way before producing any kind of music, and learnt the ropes directly on vinyl, in a very different register though - my first love was with reggae! Production came quite a bit later, first with thePhilosophica, with whom we had our first encounter with Sinchi Collective for a couple of releases. We also released on labels  like of AEON and Melopee Records, besides a season on Rotterdam-based Operator radio. In 2023, I started my solo project, aiming for the fun of the dance floor and the catchy (cheesy?) melodies. And only this way could I release an EP fully dedicated to my girlfriend's dog. You can find my solo releases on labels such as Frank Music, Feinstoff, Melodize or Club Mackan - and more to come!

The Card 29: Onamiel - Spring.

Belongs to a Season Card:

They speak about the world, our surrounding. They
advise and give council on how to approach life as a big
picture. Also tell about what was and what’s coming.
Each season has it’s own qualities. The bearer needs to
recognise in them what he reflects, what he needs. This
card will point you in a direction, not necessarily with the
strength of a command but rather guide you.

29 Spring - Onamiel

Gold / Sun
Birth, things that start. Undertaking.
Youth. Early stages. Innocence.
Hope, a whole way to go. Kindness. Solidarity. Whims.
Onamiel was the birth of the cycle, and was ruled by
youth and the predominance of hope in hard times,
kindness and solidarity, but also the vagaries of the
early age.

How did the meaning of the tarot card inspire the journey of this mix?

What spoke to me most about Spring – Onamiel is the sense of new life, fresh beginnings, optimism, and positivity. As a brand new father, I immediately thought of my daughter — how joy can start with something as light and simple as a smile, and how playfulness and learning naturally go hand in hand. With that in mind, I built this mix around tracks that celebrate our playful and joyful sides, bring moments of comfort and feel-good energy, and carry a hopeful sense of what’s still to come.

If-Only Podcast #59: Mother

For the tenth installment of our mix series, we have none other than DSNT resident and Computer Controlled Records bossman Nez. Coming through with a bruising mix of bass, bleeps and out-of-this-world electro – just in time for the weekend. 

Warning: this will make you want to go out.

Nez - 010

If there's one thing you need to know before listening to this mix then it's this: Lerosa does not f**k about.

The Italian producer and disc jockey remains an unrivalled force amidst outsider electronics and doesn't buy into hype or false pretenses. Based in Dublin he has steadily released music prominently for over ten years and has appeared on the likes of Uzuri, Ostgut Ton and Idle Hands amongst many more. His sound is always rough and ready, drawing for the experimental and abstract whilst challenging the preconceptions and social constructs of house and electronic music at every possibility available. A keen hardware enthusiast he has a workrate which is hard to rival and this much is clear through the sheer volume of music that he has released in what is a relatively short period of time. 

His most recent album was released via Acid Test, a sub label of Los Angeles based record label Absurd Recordings. The "Bucket Of Eggs" LP is perhaps Leopold's finest work to date, showcasing an eclectic, thoughtful approach to music that is at times chaotic and coarse. It channels his humour and persona with intrigue and leaves the listener wanting more and more. 

We invited him to record a mix for the site, a contribution which is long overdue.
