The air was fresh and clean; it cleared her nostrils as she inhaled deeply. Out here in the wilderness, she couldn't have felt further away from the city, away from the smog of the concrete jungle and the stress of the morning commute. It was a miracle what nature could do for the mind and the body; the green landscape and untouched woodlands brought with it a tranquility that was unmatched. If she could have her way, she'd never leave this place.

On Rotation have steadily built a reputation throughout the Leeds underground for their amazing parties that hone in on both local talent, as well as welcoming some of the most exciting international names around. After several years of events, it was only natural that the next step would be to add a label arm, and who better to kick things off than their resident, good pal and a producer who's been pushing out the good stuff at a relentless rate: Adam Pits.

Marking his debut album, following EPs for Holding Hands, Seven Hills, X-Kalay and more, 'A Recurring Nature' takes inspiration from a year immersed in nature whilst clubs were a distant memory. Straddling introspective and extroverted moods, the eight tracks across the release show off Adam's versatility as a producer; he's just as at ease crafting spaced out downtempo cuts as he is straight up club bangers.

PREMIERE: Adam Pits - A Recurring Nature [On Rotation]

Esteemed proponent of outré dancefloor manoeuvres, Superconscious Records co-founder Fantastic Man makes his Kalahari debut proper.

Having shown up for rework duties on a couple of occasions, we find the mutable oddball at his most trippy and esoteric. In fact, OYSTER42 is the handiwork of a producer who has his formula of balmy, lysergic dance music down to an exact science.

‘Alltogethernow’ gets on a swaggering cosmic tip, all sub-loaded and celestial as levitational arpeggios and funked-up groove dovetail to mesmeric effect. ‘Alpha’, on the other hand, takes a vision quest through enchanted jungle terrain. Initiating with a hypnotic ritual chant, it’s tunnelling and murkily psychedelic; occulted dancefloor rapture tailor-made for the wormhole interior.

As if it were some artefact from a distant ‘90s utopia, Bioxy’ evokes a time when warehouse parties littered the Melbourne landscape. Where its predecessor evokes ceremony and ritual, this is an anachronistic, dilated flashback to simpler times. FM kicks it languid and life-affirming on the closing number. Radiant synth lines flutter with a gentle headiness as ‘Trojan Force’ takes us full circle with a reprise of the rainforest FX.

Drawing inspiration from rave, proto-trance, progressive, and the golden days of tech house, Saunter creates transcendental dancefloor bombs with the right balance between groove, atmosphere, and melody - an ode to the glory of the late 90s and early 2000s.
