New Delhi Based artist - Bønehead - boldly embraces his genre-fluid approach to music with ‘Pulp Fictiøn’

- Where pop meets dance, trance meets breaks, electro meets bass and techno meets ghetto.

The New Delhi–based, multifaceted, and genre-fluid artist returns to his homegrown label with a new concept EP titled Pulp Fictiøn. Taking inspiration from the film, the EP features four intertwining tales (tracks) that revolve around the artist’s experiences, motives, and state of mind.

“I’m no longer catering to ‘Techno Enthusiasts’ or ‘Bass-heads.’ I made this for people who can appreciate music without trying to fit it into a box or a playlist.”

Electro riffs, chopped vocals, hypnotic breaks, and classic bass grooves—all thematically linked together by one life, one story, spanning 21 minutes and 34 seconds, that define ‘Bønehead’......for now.

Pre-orders on Beatport go live on 24th September 2025
Releases on all streaming platforms on 8th October 2025

Dear Earthlings, 

We gather that dark times lay ahead of us, the unpredictable trajectory of this outbreak is out of our hands as we enter a period of real uncertainty. For our music industry we hold so dear, our musicians, clubs and festivals, the agents, promoters and dancers, and all others involved in making our industry what it is today, this has far-reaching implications for all of us. 

Viral Syndicate is a digital compilation series formed by ourselves to help support artists financially during the Coronavirus outbreak. All proceeds will directly fund artists involved with the release, or towards a charity of their choice if the artist prefers. We hope to deliver these compilations on a regular basis to help fund artists as much as possible. This is our way of helping our scene stay afloat during this difficult time. 

We hope our project and the music we’ll be sharing through this series will shed some light over this darkness. 


Stay strong, stay safe, and support our artists if you can. 


With love, Haŵs x

As we travel further along the murky 2020 time-continuum we are pleased to deliver the next release for Pure Space Recordings. This time from one of Melbourne’s most acclaimed producers, Rings Around Saturn.

Rings Around Saturn delivers us with two club focussed tracks that skilfully toe the line between electro and bass music.

On the A-sde you will find ‘Grip’, a heavy hitter that’s weight comes from the deep sub-rhythms and hefty drum programming. The melodic, acid-infused arpeggios that fill the tracks body seemingly pull you further and further off the ground until finally the suspension is released through a glistening breakdown.

On the flip you will find ‘Subterranean Electro’, a track titled aptly to describe its heady electroism. Here deep bass is met with skittering pads, and tension fuelled melodies whilst a constant rhythm that feeds the tracks subterranean ecosystem. The gritty melody is fast and jittery keeping you on your toes whilst you complete your journey.

Tracklist:
A1 - Rings Around Saturn - Grip
B1 - Rings Around Saturn - Subterranean Electro

Label: Shaw Cuts
Cat.: SC013
Date: 25/09/2020
Distributed by @triplevisionnl

Tracklisting:
A1: Liquid Shorts (Pugilist Remix)
A2: Contaship (Substance Remix)
B1: Brooklyn Banks (Jonas Friedlich Remix)
B2: It’s Only 4 Life (Realitycheck Remix)

Infotext:
To challenge the leader of the five element ninjas, Shaw Cuts lines up a heavy squad on the next record, armed with versatile remixes of Farron’s „Five Element Ninjas“ EP: Pugilist, Substance, Jonas Friedlich and Realitycheck. 
First off the mark, Pugilist launches into battle dealing forceful blows with his version of „Liquid Shorts“. Whirlwind breaks, sharp drum patterns and cavernous chords, lacerate the ninja leader. The heat is on! 
Substance rolls in to support, shredding the field with his remix of „Contaship“. With blood-spattered pads, a gargantuan rolling groove and harmonic synth elements, he brings the villain to his knees. 
Jonas Friedlich blazes in with his remake of „Brooklyn Banks“, catching the leader off-guard with dirty Hip-Hop rhythmics, swirling vocals and twist of the original’s lead synth. The leader lurches forward... 
Realitycheck furiously steps into the clash. His remix version of „It’s Only 4 Life“ circles the field, its propelling rhythm and floating percussions closing in on the enemy. 
The target surrounded, attacking from four sides with full force and allegiance, they execute the ninja leader in one sweep. 
The battle leaves them with deep scars, but suffering, like fate and death, is part of life. And through it, the strongest souls emerge.

[SC013] FARRON - FIVE ELEMENT NINJAS - REMIXED (W/ PUGILIST/SUBSTANCE/JONAS FRIEDLICH/REALITYCHECK)

There was a noise, it had started with a bang but now it was a relentless clatter which rattled deep within the engine as it roared. Careering along the freeway with the wind in his hair he looked out upon the sandy desert as the sun went down in the distance. He was racing quickly against time, he had to get there before nightfall otherwise heaven only knows what might happen. He pressed his foot down harder on the accelerator and the clatter grew louder and louder beneath. 

Delay Grounds is set to release a new EP on Bristol based record label Pressure Dome, an imprint which is growing in prominence from strength to strength. The record also features a remix from Suze.

With ‘3 YEARS OF E-MISSIONS’, the New York based label embarks on its largest project to date. Taking in thirteen tracks, the compilation brings together some of the label’s core artists such as Tred, Rush Plus, and CYD along with extended friends and family like White Materials boss Young Male and Enemy Records’ Dustin Zahn.

Sonically, the compilation perfectly exemplifies the E-MISSIONS ethos. Drifting from grinding, rave speckled techno through to wistful electro, all tracks are firmly rooted in the club yet never afraid of veering slightly off-piste. The resulting collection is an impressive curation of the label’s signature sound to date, as well as a glimpse into the exciting future of E-MISSIONS.

Helmed by P.leone and Caiazzo since its inception in 2017, E-MISSIONS has cultivated widespread respect for releasing cutting edge, off-kilter techno from a tight-knit group of artists approaching club music from unconventional angles. ‘3 YEARS OF E-MISSIONS’ is a roaring yet neat summation of a fresh label in it’s prime.
