More information about Pay the Rent below: 
The land on which we live, work, and play was stolen from indigenous peoples, and sold by non-indigenous people for profit which has been disproportionately distributed for generations. So it is time to put an end to this and pay the rent that we owe. 
All proceeds will be heading to pay The Rent. A collective based on the lands of the Kulin nation here in Victoria, Australia. It is made up of both indigenous and non-indigenous peoples and is about honouring the sovereignty of Indigenous peoples by distributing rent to local Aboriginal groups at a grassroots level. Where it can be allocated by indigenous peoples, to indigenous peoples for anything from health services, education, arts and culture, housing, legal costs, and more. 
“Paying the Rent is a step towards acknowledging these facts. It is part of a process that all non-indigenous people - individually and collectively - need to enter into if we are to move towards justice, truth, equality and liberation for First Nations people.”

With a remix and a compilation cameo already under his belt, Canadian figurehead Priori makes his Kalahari return for the debut proper. 3 squelchy incursions complete with a hefty remix from fellow Oyster Cult acolyte Sansibar.

Known for traversing breezy, horizontal zones, the NAFF co-founder sets downbeat and ambient concerns aside for the direct and propulsive. Expect insistent, urgent forays down the wormhole as nocturnal jaunts made of ritual and darkroom throb coalesce with meditative, essential rhythm.

This is fractal gear born from the the traditions of European, Japanese and American Mid-West techno; tunnelling and immersive, conjuring moments of ascension for the gathered masses.

Finishing on Sansibar’s meaty refit, the one-two punch of seismic kick and dry-as-bone snare propels Priori’s original in a whole new direction.

Priori - Lexica | Kalahari Oyster Cult (OYSTER63)

The clouds were scattered, a delicate array of colours illuminated in pinks and blues from the late evening haze. The sun was setting in the distance casting strange shapes and shadows on the land below. At times it was hard to assess where the sky began and the fields ended, for they met somewhere in the middle in a myriad of shades.

Who knew what sort of god might live above their hollow might. Up in the heavens there had to be some sort of shepherd which watched over them all.

For if there wasn't, what else was there?

[HARMONY019]—Night Out is the third collaborative EP by Alfred Czital and Ayū, dedicated to high-energy dance music and inspired by their nightlife experiences. The record features solo tracks, joint contributions, and two digital bonus remixes.

The A-side opens with Alfred Czital’s transcendental solo track, “Universal Language,” a composition infused with punchy beats and sonic whispers. It’s followed by Ayū’s “Magnetic,” a fast-paced, progressive bubbler featuring ultra-sensual vocals.

The B-side delivers a soundscape of grooves and scattering melodies. It begins with “Physical,” a collaboration between Alfred Czital and Ayū inspired by early 2000s trance anthems, uplifting sounds, and hazy vocals. “Love Letter from Montevideo” closes the record with a memoir inspired by Uruguayan rolling electronica.

The bonus side begins with Alfred Czital’s “Rita’s fav,” dedicated to the Harmony crew member, followed by “Find You,” a trance kicker by Ayū - that is both sweet and alluring - tested on Ankali’s dancefloor. Wrapping up the EP with “Feeling so fly,” a remix born in a not-so-serious studio session. A perfect quirky touch for early morning hours or a fun closing time paying tribute to Prague’s sunrise closing sets.

One year from Ayū’s debut on Harmony—Neon Affair, four artists closely connected to the release were invited to remix their favorite track from the record. The result is a new remix EP featuring a dancefloor-driven A-side, crafted for peak-time energy, and a B-side dedicated to closing sets and trippy storytelling.

Side A opens with Maara’s remix of “Space to Come”- a progressive, sexy spacey journey with muttered vocals and a blissed-out groove, blended with her iconic sound. Keeping up with the dance-floor energy, Spray delivers a dreamy yet bubbly take on “Point Nemo.” Spray’s take showcases his distinctive musical patterns, and fuzzy textures.

The B-side remix by Harmony's Alfred Czital and Jeku sends the record to late hours of party. Jeku’s version of “Neon Affair” brings driving drumlines and euphoric prog beats, layered with hypnotic, trippy touches - sweet, yet dirty. Alfred Czital closes the record with his Dream Mix of “Space to Come,” an exciting and misty journey through sound - playful, metaphysical, and the perfect closing track for extended parties.

PREMIERE: Ayū - Neon Affair (Jeku Remix)

Forged under pressure. Hexforge is raw energy refined into precision — a high-tech, industrial-tinged techno weapon built for late hours and heavy systems. Hammer-tight percussion, serrated synth lines, and rolling sub-motion lock the floor in pure propulsion. The groove never relents; it evolves, mutates, and burns hotter with every pass.

Created entirely in Ableton Live 12, Hexforge embodies MIGU’s trademark sound: minimal structure, maximal tension, immaculate design. The drop hits like tempered steel; the breakdown breathes just long enough before the engine roars back.

Intent: transformation — chaos into control, fire into form. Hexforge turns pressure into motion, darkness into rhythm, and sound into architecture.

Specs for DJs:
• BPM: 128 • Key: C Major • Length: 5:00
• Intro/Outro: 32–32 bars (club & mix ready)
• Sub: mono-focused low end for maximum translation on large rigs

PREMIERE: WRD0258: Leopold Bär, Paul Render - First Division (Ra Ph Remix).

I was working with a friend in the Brighton University studios with a 24 track tape machine, this inspired me to find a good tape plugin now that I've heard the real thing in action and have a better understanding of the dynamics processing.
