“A constant in this album is the influence I take from my childhood. Some very fond memories of mine are celebrating Carnival with my Peruvian step-father and his family and I remember being fully engulfed by the music, the culture and the people. I take that with me everywhere I go. A combination of these childhood memories and my late teens spent in Germany, where my mothers side of the family are from, has resulted in the sound you hear today. My music is an ode to both of these. Essentially what shaped me into who I am today.” - Avernian

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.

There were rules to this business, it wasn’t like any stranger could walk in off the street and make it to the top with a few flashy moves. There were principles which had to be learnt, experiences which would humble even the hardest of street veterans.

This sort of stuff took time, time he didn’t have.

Instead, he was looking for the quick, fast flick which might separate him from the rest and streamline his career to the top rank.

Some sort of trick, some sort of technology which might short circuit the whole game.

Cassius Select brings the Bass on a new compilation for Bristol label Amity. Featuring alongside the likes of Pluralist and qgb – this one packs a punch, the kind which stings for a while after.

"Apparatus“ is Rizla Ops’ debut EP on Voitax, a deeply personal creation born swiftly amidst the heartbreak of losing a close friend, Ollie Mazgaj. Crafted during a period of introspection, the EP became an anchor, the only thing that felt right in a world detached from the club and daily routine. 

Sonically diverse, "Apparatus“ explores techno, drill, amapiano, grime, and garage, maintaining a common thread of dissonance, functionality, and groove. The title track, „Apparatus, stands out as an outlier in Rizla Ops’ discography, featuring big melodic moments that capture the raw emotions of the artist at that particular time. Despite his usual preference for conveying ideas through rhythm and sound design, this EP marks a turning point, hinting at future experiments with melody and harmony. 

"Apparatus“ is more than a collection of tracks; it’s a sonic journey through genres, emotions, and personal growth—a testament to Rizla Ops’ dedication to pushing boundaries and creating immersive, thought-provoking electronic music.

Nervous System

Trigger Warning

La sinfonía silenciosa de la existencia, es el ritmo de la vida, pintado a través del lienzo del tiempo, donde las sombras se mecen en el abrazo del crepúsculo y las estrellas hacen piruetas en la extensión aterciopelada del espacio.

Octoptic está de regreso para la tercera etapa de su evolución artística, donde Movimiento da vida a la quietud, infundiendo al mundo la vitalidad del movimiento, expresado en la cadencia de las olas que rompen en la orilla y el suave susurro de las texturas en la pradera.

Así que abracemos el flujo y reflujo, el ascenso y la caída, porque en el movimiento encontramos la esencia de nuestro ser, el ritmo de nuestro dolor y la armonía de nuestras almas.


Fecha de lanzamiento el 21 de febrero de 2024.

Step into the neon haze—this is "4 KIN BEATz" by B, my first drop of 2024.
A cyberpunk ritual in four movements, each beat free for profit and forged in the mythOS.
- Amen – sacred distortion, echoes of the underground chapel
- Garage – grime-stained basslines, Wrexham steel and shadow
- Go Ham – raw voltage, no brakes, just bars
- Purgatory – liminal drift, glitching between realms
⚡ B type beats for those who spit in symbols and move through myth.
Tag me if you ripple it. Let the kinship begin.
