Premiere: Notte Infinita - Ecstatic Dub (Roller Mix)

In the year 2017, rogue agent Eliza Mitchell silently infiltrated government systems and databases across the globe using a mysterious audio file known as "Alert."

Now, she's back for one final mission, deep behind enemy lines - this time with the assistance of a small handful of embedded operatives.

˚₊‧꒰ა “This Is How We Break Your Toxic Positivity” ໒꒱ ‧₊˚

Second compilation of a “This Is How We Break…” series focused on breaks and bass music to enlighten our emerging electronic scene from France and abroad.

Based on the free interpretation of the ‘breakbeat’ genre, the breadcrumb trail of this second compilation is the theme “from happy to dark” (or the other way) to celebrate the fluctuation of emotions whether positive or negative. Over-cultivated positivism implies the rejection and the covering up of negative emotions… This compilation is here to reminds you to live fully your emotions and only think about what’s best for you. It’s OK not to always look on the bright side of things. Be gentle to yourself.

New York-based label Kindergarten Records is thrilled to unveil Ayesha’s (@aye5ha) debut album, ‘Rhythm is Memory’ – 10 boundary-pushing tracks, a shape-shifting percussive journey with electric moments. While intended for maximum dancefloor impact, Ayesha’s first LP is also conceptually thought-provoking and playful, exploring how bodies store and channel creative knowledge.

Ciel - Deep Sea Riddim

The cage was surrounded, eyes stared from all corners. They wanted blood as the sweat dripped from the ceiling.

It was hot as hell as the dance began, one by one they took it in turns to enter the circle, before profiling their figures and rounding it off with a hot step and a walk away.

This was the grand arena, perhaps the grandest of them all. Within it were those brave enough to exist freely, for they might be caged but it was for the good of the outside world rather than themselves.

They represented ideas and visions too big to comprehend, as the world wrapped itself up, latched upon some sort of grappling hook, they simply danced on.

Ariel Zetina is set to release a new EP on Josh Caffe's Love Child Records - a killer record packed with high energy Bass workouts and frenetic samples.

PREMIERE: Ariel Zetina - Grappling Hook [Love Child]

@masha-ny teams up with @tomsobolikmusic on 'Slipstreaming', the first split EP on @kindergartenrecords since 2021.

Sobolik's 'As A Metaphor' is at once cavernously empty and knotty with intricacy. Big sub-bass dives, metallic tones and a dogged, rubbery bassline underpin breathy vocal chops and a taunting lead synth.

Basile3 - U Stole The Summer (DJ JM Remix)

Kindergarten Records starts off the new year with a deep dive towards our intimate,  digital futures; courtesy of Despina - who rings in 2021 with a solo four-tracker entitled  Data Soft. Coming off their debut on our label through a split EP with Kindergarten  residents Ma Sha Ru entitled 'Polychronia' - as well as a track on Kindergarten's frst  compilation, 'Fluo I' - Despina provides a journey that leads to reconciling the ways that  the digital world has seeped into our most private aspects. From ascending sonics  to jagged juxtapositions of rhythm, texture and harshness - Data Soft is a record that delineates our current social climate succinctly with each passing kick and snare. 
 “Vitamin Party” plays off the electrolytics of the former track, lulling the listener towards  a comfortable nestle until the drop hits hard - cataclysmic and crisp percussion that  invites the listener to get cautiously cozy with an ASMR layer of metaphysical  stabilization after the catharsis is reached.
Taken as a whole, Data Soft is an attempt to reconcile the ways that the digital world  has seeped into our most private aspects. Can we be sensual and celebrate our  bodies while corporations defne us with endless data? Is true inner peace even  achievable in our strange virtual dystopia? Despina does not seek to answer these  questions, but rather to look at the slippery nature of data, sex, and the future through a sonic telescope. 

Despina (pronouns: they/them) is the pseudonym of New York based producer,  composer, and DJ Mica Matchen. Their work explores the dichotomies and  contradictions inherent in sound and life: rhythm and texture, male and female,  hedonism and mindfulness. As ferce as Mica is with their rhythms, they are just as  ferce about their politics, seeking to imbue their work with revolutionary passion,  socialist ideals, and an ear to the future. 

Kindergarten Records is a Brooklyn-based record label, rave, radio show specialising  in cosmic club workouts with wigged-out rhythmic structures.
