Air Max ‘97 (@airmax97) is back, and linking up with the likes of LOFT (@loftminduk) and TSVI (@tsvisions) on his latest @decisionsrecords release ‘Falling Not Walking’.

The four-track EP is his first release since 2018’s stellar ‘Nacre’ LP and features dancefloor-driven material inspired by his move to the UK and his immersion into the British underground electronic music scene. Today, we’re premiering ‘Paroxysm’, a highly anticipated collab with Nervous Horizon co-founder and London-based bass experimenter TSVI. 

Before we get started, let us say this – 'Paroxysm' is pure madness. Truly. It kicks off in the best possible way – intense, formidable and undeniably daunting. As the gears shift and the pace speeds up a notch, prepare to be guided towards a head-spinning breakdown carefully crafted by two producers known for their percussive prowess. 

DECISIONS will release ‘Falling Not Walking’ on June 14. Pre-order below.

On September 20th, Brooklyn-based record label APOCALIPSIS released 'Sin Fronteras,' a 36-track benefit compilation with 100% proceeds going to immigrant defense organizations RAICES, Immigrant Defense Project, and Detention Watch Network. Sin Fronteras unapologetically affirms the rights and dignity of immigrant communities, and stands in solidarity with efforts to abolish an oppressive legal and immigration system.

Released exclusively through APOCALIPSIS’ Bandcamp page, Sin Fronteras features contributions by artists across club music undergrounds, spanning geographies of Houston, New York City, Miami, Philadelphia, Los Angeles, and beyond. The compilation presents heart-centered storytelling unconfined by genre, merging dancehall en español, percussion-driven club tools, noise-inflected dembow, experimental pop, and disruptive soundscapes across an array of atmospheric dancefloor mutations.

APOCALIPSIS amplifies the stories of artists ni de aquí, ni de allá (neither from here, nor there), doing everything in its power to redistribute equity in the music industry.

As a label that pushes distinctive shades of club music, Nervous Horizon’s compilations are always eagerly-anticipated, and their third instalment, ‘NH Vol 3’, is no exception. Featuring cuts by Tzusing and object blue plus long-term affiliates DJ JM and DJ Plead plus head honchos TSVI and Wallwork, it’s another exercise in gold standard percussive club sounds. Italian-Ivorian producer and DJ Ehua (check her mad Boiler Room Bass & Percs set here) has long been pioneering bass sounds from across the globe. The femme culture affiliate blends up elements of bass music, gqom, Hard Drum and house in her own productions, and ‘Meteora’, which we’re premiering below, is one of the most memorable tracks on ‘NH Vol 3’. Driven by a thumping drum line and percussive textures, it reinforces her knack for crafting club music that’s as interesting as it is brutal.
