2017 Future

Whether a backroom baby is something that you should be allowed to talk about when children are present is something that wr probably shouldn't go into right now. Instead, we'll tell you about how Hannah Holland's dub mix of her a Josh Caffe's latest track is a pretty firm way to treat your ears to some well-deserved pumping bass.

As various sounds reverberate around your head as if you're riding the teacups, an ominous voice whispers in your ear and yet somehow you don't feel like you in any real danger. After all, you made sure to pack your Swiss Army knife this morning. Right?

Anyway, here's your first chance to delve into the dub.

PREMIERE: Josh Caffe & Hannah Holland - Backroom Baby (Hannah Holland's Dub Mix)

READ > inverted-audio.com/premiere-franz-scala-saxon-rebel-feat-local-suicide

Berlin-based italo-disco record label Slow Motion mark their return with the full-length release 'Cafe Futuro', the sophomore album from label boss Franz Scala...Our pick is the fifth track ‘Saxon Rebel’ - a sleek, hyper stylised descent into the nocturnal undercurrents of Northern Germany. Co-produced by Local Suicide, the track operates at a steady 120 BPM, maintaining an unflinching tension without ever rushing. Acid-washed synth lines snake through layers of gleaming new beat arpeggios, while Vamparela’s Greek spoken-word passages lend an air of ritualistic mystique. The result is a seductive time-warp, where fragments of ancient rites and sci-fi futures converge into an hallucinatory dancefloor reverie.

Ricardo Tobar returns to MUSAR with 'Knitting' - a four-track EP blending dancefloor intimacy with raw, analog spirit. A two original cuts from the Chilean producer are joined by standout remixes from synth sorcerer Pye Corner Audio and cosmic rave queen Nightwave.

The EP opens with 'Los Siblings', a distilled snapshot of Tobar’s current sound: intricate arrangements, ethereal melodies, heavyweight bass-line and a vintage edge shaped for the club. “I’m embracing the dancefloor,” he says. “This is me doing tunes I would like to dance to.”

On the flip, 'Knitting' unravels from a simple arpeggio into lysergic ‘’Stereolab’' - techno chaos-alive, imperfect, and deeply personal. “It sounds like it wants to eat itself,” Tobar reflects. Layers on layers of psychedelia and cosmic melody turn this into a trippy journey track like no one else does.

Architect of foggy club rituals, Pye Corner Audio transforms 'Knitting' into an eerie, trance-tinged club weapon, while Nightwave turns 'Knitting' into a high-gloss, dreamy club stormer.

Lowercase Life's sublabel Loop Of Life present ‘Balancing Act‘ - the debut extended-player from Italian producer Kuiper Belt, named after the celestial dust ring imagined by Dutch astronomer Gerard Kuiper back in 1951...Our pick is ‘Balancing Act‘ - a shapeshifting electro track that begins in subdued shimmer. Arpeggios flickering like sodium lights on an abandoned overpass, before launching into a syncopated frenzy of breakbeats and scorched basslines. As synthetic lifeforms rise, ‘Balancing Act’ becomes a trans-dimensional joyride powered by the ghosts of dancefloors.

DC Promo Tracks: Edmondson "Frutiger Aero"

Wandering through the mountains there wasn’t anyone else around. He was up here by himself amidst the clouds with an absence of friends and family.

For him this would be some much needed alone time, a chance to reset and regroup from it all.

Pausing for a moment he looked out at the world beneath, taking a deep breath and watching as the birds swooped and soared in the distance.

The wind blew softly in his hair…

boys be kko is a stellar producer from Japan. This EP features a classy assortment of house music, each track paced differently, yet this was our favourite – a deep moody cut.

PREMIERE: boys be kko - Sant Esteve (Kko Edit) [Bliss Point]

COHN is a London-born DJ/producer blending italo, house, hi-NRG, and trance with a fresh, modern edge.

He’s co-founder of Butter Parties, a collective known for euphoric dancefloor vibes. Releases on Kitsuné, Mister T. Records or Bordello A Parigi highlight his playful yet refined style-arpeggiated synths, lush pads, crisp basslines. Recent EPs Kafka in the Sheets and Focus on Your Breath fuse retro spirit with modern club energy. Whether through hazy, lo-fi tracks or high-tempo grooves, COHN brings a distinctive voice to today’s electronic scene.

DC Promo Tracks #1697: "Undertow (Space Ghost Remix)" by L Lewis is part of the release "Intervals" on Bathtub Music  

Pre-Order: https://llewis.bandcamp.com/album/intervals

Naarm-based jazz instrumentalist and producer L Lewis teams up with Oakland-based Space Ghost for a remix of “Undertow,” a highlight from the new EP Intervals out on Bathtub Music on August 12th.

Space Ghost reshapes “Undertow” into a steady chug, blending his signature 1980s funk minimalism and analog boogie. With '80s house drums, synths, and warm bass lines, he brings a cosmic energy to L Lewis’ world of nu jazz, electronica, and ambient textures.

Following the release of Intervals—a nu jazz record shaped between Naarm and London—this remix acts as a bridge between underground scenes across continents, spotlighting two artists in constant evolution.
