Premiere: Past Futura - Jungle Belly [Ulla Records]

Not many people knew about the wonders of this underground party. It was, and always had been, a word of mouth situation, restricted to those who were non-judgmental and willing to let go of their inhibitions. This is the way it would always be: it ensured the space to be safe, sacred and untouched, and the partygoers to be faces who'd soon become friends and not remain strangers. 

For their next release, a digital two-tracker titled The Leisure Hive, NYC's Throne Of Blood link up three Philadelphian artists: Optimo and Les disques de la mort signees Zillas On Acid and Permanent Vacation and Mister Saturday Night alumni Alex Burkat. The three artists first met at Dave P's Making Time parties where the former duo have been resident DJs for years. It's this night that inspired the idea behind this new release: two "psychedelic dance floor jams" that are custom-made to soundtrack the frivolities at open-minded soirees like Making Time.

PREMIERE: Zillas On Acid and Alex Burkat - The Leisure Hive [Throne Of Blood]

Side Up Works is back with their 16th EP by Son & Stepson. The Italian duo formed by Vicky Montefusco and K. Domenicano, who have previously released on prestigious labels such as Slow Motion Records or Chromatics, among others. The artists bring us three excellent Original Mixes that combine groovy basses, dark and intrepid synth lines and leds that transport you to another dimension.

The sixteenth edition of the Catalan label is also accompanied by a remix by Aaryan, one of the first Indian producers who has released on labels such as Sincopat, Disco Halal, URSL or Magician ion Duty, earning the appreciation of great artists such as Carl Craig.

We are happy to have musicians of this quality, so we invite you to enjoy their work both at home and on the dance floor.

PREMIERE : Son & Stepson - Elephant

Rome-based A-Tweed conjures a trademark hypnotic EP for Inside Out Records. Modular experimentation, mystical vocal samples, magical Tangier nights. Remixes courtesy of Scottish Highlands born CAIN and Salons des Amateurs resident Lucas Croon.

PREMIERE: A-Tweed - Tangier [Inside Out Records]

In all situations, he didn't give much away, he preferred to keep his cards close to his chest. It was intriguing; he had a discreet charm that kept her interested - she wanted to know more. But how long would it last? Would the mystique eventually fade or would she simply grow tired of having to break down his walls? She'd have to take the risk to find out and hopefully soon enough she'd be able to peel back his layers. 

A-Tweed's releases come thick and fast. The Rome-based producer and DJ has already charted releases and tracks for Electric Shapes, Odd Pleasures, Belly Dance Services, HEARec and Fienes Tier, and that's not even the full list. Next he brings his signature psychedelic acid and dark electronic creations to Inside Out Records with Rendezvous in Tangier. He employs his arsenal of machines and hypnotic vocal samples for three original cuts that match deep soundscapes and chugging rhythms, completed by a couple of remixes from Scottish producer CAIN and Salons des Amateurs resident Lucas Croon.

Man2.0 aka Mark Bailey, is no stranger to Paisley Dark Records. Having appeared on three previous releases in his guise of remixer, we are extremely excited and honoured to present his debut EP for the label, Red Shift.

Mark's original is a peak time melodic techno banger aimed directly at the head and the feet. No talking on the dance floor please !!!

Nein Records head honcho Tronik Youth, takes Red Shift deeper and darker with a relentless throb destined to leave a significant number of destroyed dance floors in its wake.

Again no stranger to the label, Steady State takes us on an intergalactic trip to a far off universe, bouncing from star to star whilst whistling sweet melodies back to earth.

When Disco Goes Wrong's Mindbender weighs in with a hefty slab of cosmic Italo grooviness, remaining fully focused on retaining the dance floor. Strobes and smoke at the ready !!!

Swedish artist The Machine Soul who's last release, Norra Linjen, was released here on Paisley Dark Records, has produced a totally unique take on the track with a retro breakbeat feel and old school sampled vocal and yet manages to catapult us somewhere in to the future.

One of Paisley Dark's fave producers, Mark Cooper aka Bedford Falls Players, ventures into early New Order territory with a Hooky style riff played high up the fret board and adding even more melody than would have been thought humanly possible.

Last but certainly not least is our good friends Jezebell who have produced a bouncing cosmic delight which is simply impossible not to dance to. One to get the party started whist out on the terrace enjoying the last of the sunshine.

Tracklist: 

Red Shift
Red Shift (Tronik Youth Remix)
Red Shift (Steady State Remix)
Red Shift (The Machine Soul Space Funk Mix)
Red Shift (Bedford Falls Players Remix)
Red Shift (Jezebell's Inner Child Mix)

PREMIERE: MAN2.0 - Red Shift (Steady State Remix) [Paisley Dark Records]

Eyes On You is a five-track EP built from lost projects spanning 2010 - 2025. It blends raw industrial textures, heavy percussion, and soundtrack-like layers. The EP moves between tension and release, turning old studio experiments into a story that explores the unsettling feeling of always being watched, both in personal and social life.
