Daniel Avery announces his most ambitious and accomplished studio album to date, 'Ultra Truth', out on Phantasy on 4th November 2022. Available to pre-order now on clear gatefold vinyl, CD and cassette with each format including an exclusive bonus track.

'Ultra Truth' offers a very different listening experience to any of Daniel Avery’s previous records. It inhabits its own world of sound, a construct built in his Thames side studio with collaborative help from a host of friends: the production touch of Ghost Culture and Manni Dee, the vocals of HAAi, Jonnine Standish (HTRK), AK Paul and the voices of Marie Davidson, Kelly Lee Owens, Sherelle and James Massiah.

﻿Hear the first taster of the forthcoming album with 'Chaos Energy', which lands on streaming platforms, alongside a neo-futuristic music video created using AI technology by close-collaborator Claudia Rafael.

Chaos Energy

Was it a crime to daydream your life away? Thinking about the what ifs and the should haves; imagining yourself in scenarios so far removed from your reality... There was certainly no harm in it, idealism was an escape, it provided a respite from what was happening here on solid ground. If you preferred to live way up above the clouds, drunk on fantasies and wishful thoughts, what of it? Let yourself drift... at least just for a moment.

rRoxymore has proved herself a master of leftfield electronics. These sounds have come via releases for Ideophone, Timedance and Don't Be Afraid, the longtime partner who've housed several of her records since 2016. On her new EP, I Wanted More, a debut outing for Aus she continues her exploration of contrasting textures and atmospheres - intricate and tender synths combat crunchy, powerful drums to create a "perfect elixir for any morning dance floor".

The silence in the room was deafening; an air of unease had been present ever since she entered the room. For the past few days he'd made a decision to grin and bear it, there wasn't long before he could remove himself from this situation for good - until then he'd keep himself to himself and say nothing at all. In all honesty, he was out of words now, there was nothing left to say that hadn't been said already, she couldn't turn back the hands of time...

Infinite Machine made a statement with their final release of 2021. A celebration of them reaching 10 years in the game, the label are now looking ahead to another packed year continuing their exploration of the weird corners of contemporary dance music.

Following a label return from Soft As Snow last month, Infinite Machine welcome Greek-born producer Aroent to the family for a four-track EP, made up of three originals and a rework from Deaf Test boss Ploy. You can hear the different influences that inform his approach - touches of IDM, UK techno, bass and experimental funnel into the dense, layered compositions, which are full of heavy drum programming, crisp percussion and plenty of swing.

With his willingness to push his sonic boundaries, Tim Bernhardt, a.k.a. Satin 
Jackets, showcases a different variety of sounds and vibes on the sixth single “Count
on you.” The smooth and steady rhythm of "Count On You" pulses like a heartbeat, 
with layered arpeggios building up to the perfect tempo. The bassline provides a 
warm and inviting soundscape, with atmospheric leads that never get too 
overwhelming. With "Count On You," Tim manages to create a feeling of warmth 
that's often missing in contemporary dance music. It’s a modern exploration into new
possibilities while still reconnecting with what once was, and without getting 
sentimental. 
“Elmar” is a new solo project and moniker of Mansionair vocalist Jack Froggatt. 
Drawing on years of songwriting experience and recent productions Elmar immerses
you in a surf coast shimmer of indie rock, smooth electronic and folk, to harness a 
batch of songs drenched in sunlight and reflection. Created over the years between 
Mansionair’s records (two albums to date), as well as compelling features for 
Odesza, Dom Dolla, & Rezident. Having amassed a slew of accolades to his name 
already including a Grammy nomination and US Gold Record for ‘Line Of Sight', 
alongside Australian Gold Records 'Easier', and 'Astronaut (Something About Your 
Love' and ‘Line Of Sight.' Jack continues to shine through his songwriting, vocals 
and production. Working alongside his good friend Ross James (Upsidedownhead), 
the two have created a sonic world of coastal drives and late night mescals, (not at 
the same time).

 'Odna' blends all of AL-90 and DX2OV's key ingredients, whipping up a blissed out mixture of threadbare shuffling rhythms, buoyant melody and pitched-up R&B vocal samples - all filtered through the pair's hazy meshwork of corroded textures and tape-saturated polychromatism.
