Much loved underground community organisation Parry Talks has announced the release of their sophomore, record label, charity compilation, Parry Talks Alumni Volume II. The 4 track compilation comes off the back of an extremely successful debut release which raised $1500 for NSW Aboriginal Legal Service. Now the tracklist has opened up to Sydney/Eora’s noisy neighbours in Melbourne/Naarm for a charity release with 100% of the revenue being dedicated to Smugglers of Light. This digital only, bandcamp exclusive release features a who's who of the incredible underground scenes, featuring Purient, DAWS, Posture and Glen S.

The charity which every cent of the compilation will contribute funds to is Smugglers of Light.
The Foundation was created to provide assistance to young indigenous musicians and youth at risk through programs of taking film-makers and musicians to their communities. The charity introduces songwriting and musicianship and performance skills for First Nations communities, assists n the provision of musical education and training to persons in the area of youth and indigenous music, in order to improve the outreach of musical education and storytelling in Australia, to facilitate musical development and innovation in Australian indigenous communities; and to encourage the performance of contemporary community music.

PREMIERE: Glen S - Supasonic [Parry Talks]

Local south-London neighbours Baby Rollén & Ollie Rant team up for a three-tracker that launches the off-shoot, white-label of Slump Recordings! Focussed on club-ready, nostalgic UK sounds with a focus on hardware and analogue gear. The tracks span through influences of breakbeat, UK garage, liquid drum & bass, and beyond.

Following Baby Rollén's 'Love Potion' EP, which drew in club and radio spins across the globe from the likes of Carl Cox, Eris Drew, Paramida, Job Jobse, and many more. The label takes a break from its usual EP release schedule due to heavy pressing plant delays with the club focussed SLUW001, 'Move It' EP. Sampling old dancehall casette tapes over a rave-ready blend of big piano hooks and punchy breaks all made through one session hunched over the MPC.

St. Petersburg trailblazer Maruwa takes a break from remixing Skream and releasing her recent mind-melting EP Steel City Dance Discs, to deliver a stunning remix of the A1 that traverses between phat psychedelic acid and euphoric breakdowns through a peak time weapon that's been doing critical damage through the summer already.

Maybe my inner grooves are struck. A moment ago we took a break from reality. That’s when it all began. Candid synths recommend heading to the dancefloor. Hello again, old friend. But that’s not all. Over and over again we are reminded of the genius of house music. Xylophones, modular synthetic madness are all part of the show.

Now read the first letter of all previous sentences and you’ll understand.

This 6-tracked banger is hitting the soundwaves in respectable fashion. Enlightening, magical, soft-spoken, outspoken, understandable, relatable. Howling whistling other-worldy space-shuttle-infused concoctions of rhythm. A classic, well-rounded, full-bodied embodiment of what our bodies must currently be fed: good old, forward-thinking tunes. Out on the 19th, we proudly present Nineteen by the one and only Match Box.

Stringy 1/2 of Primitive Needs actually removed some rubbish from my house and we begun talking about music. This EP turned up in my gmail 4 weeks later. Awesome release blending between 90s prog, electro and break beats. Expertly produced and mixed by Primitive Needs.

For the 17th release on the label, Naarm-based DJ/producer Solar Suite explores the playful liminality of dusk and dawn, taking locked grooves and prog sounds as the tools to transform the strange into something exhilarating.

‘Clear Skies’ comprises 3 high-nrg club-ready tracks and 2 slow chuggers to balance out the up-tempo rhythms, all with dedicated circumstances to be plucked out from record bags and presented to a willing crowd. The only question left: what occasions personal to the selector will they rear their heads?

Solar Suite - Clear Skies [Haŵs]

Every morning without fail, just as dawn broke, a small boat would appear at the waters edge to whisk the most curious of people off to an unknown destination. The boat only ever returned empty, slowly it traced its routine daily journey back and forth across the calm waters. Rumours had long circulated about where those who boarded the vessel disembarked; some said it led to a utopian island, others attested to it taking people to their final resting place. Only those willing to take the risk would find out.

Aldonna's music is perfectly tuned for late nights on the floor; think of sweaty rooms filled with energetic dancers. The Melbourne producer came up through the ranks in the city with her party series Re-Leaf and is now expanding her name across the pond with her bright, supercharged productions. Her debut EP Morph, which comes with remixes from Alex Kassian and Marli, lets us into some of the influences that fuel her as a DJ, taking us on a nostalgic ride through warm proggy trance, euphoric rave and acid-laced breaks.

Synergy ~ Balance ~ Harmony are the three key ingredients of Holly Lester’s rising Duality Trax imprint. The latest offering from the Belfast label presents a cosmic set of heavy-hitters from Estonian duo Abdul Raeva, a remix from 'Pure Space' founder Andy Garvey and there's something unexpectantly serene at the end to complete the bundle. Even though the label is still in it’s infancy, it’s clear that Holly is focussed on taking it to the moon. So far, all four debut EP’s have an affixed identity and it’s one that Holly herself channels through her own outer-worldly productions. Sonic vibrancy, colour and transcendence pulsate through the core of the label and there’s no fixed limits on genre either, with all aspects of the astral breaks and techno spectrum being explored.............'

Label: Kalahari Oyster Cult
Artist: Sorhab
Format: Vinyl & Digital
Cat. Number: OYSTER43
EP Title: Voyria
Release Date: December 15th, 2022
Support it: bit.ly/3tw1BSp

Expanding on the blueprint of previous releases, Trieste-born, London-based producer Sohrab is the Kalahari clan’s latest inductee. OYSTER43 is a distillation of the Italian producer’s stylistic scope in its purest form; impeccably crafted dance music with a healthy dose of prog.

Running deep with this one. Smartly refined constructions primed for meditative club use, the first four tracks are rendered in pristine detail. From the widescreen and tunnelling to straight-up utopian, there’s a life-affirming vitality like only the most quintessential '90s prog-house can achieve.
