Regularfantasy "Plush III" [PLSH03]

The alarm rang with an intense scrutiny. It was urgent and rampant – echoing down the halls and piercing the eardrums. They filed out of each room, one by one, following the procedure.

Outside was dark, it was in the middle of the night, the noise had woken them from their sleep.

In the distance was a faint smell of smoke. He masked his face and looked around for the panic button. The switch which might save them all. In an emergency like this there was only one thing to be done.

Breaks…

Escape Artist is set to release a powerhouse of an EP on Craigie Knowes, think Shed meets hardgroove meets breaks and you’d be on the right lines. Euphoric and energetic for dark rooms and flashing lights.

Far Away Places

PREMIERE: Escape Artist - Breaks In Case Of Emergency [Craigie Knowes]

Remixes by Earth Trax, Maara, Roza Terenzi, & Alex Kassian! 

Pleasure Planet is back in orbit, summoning their favorite producers to reimagine the two lead singles from their self-titled debut album.

Earth Trax transforms Go With Madness into a euphoric peak time corker. Full of smiles and surprises, it’s a pure endorphin rush, and masterclass in making an irresistible dance track.

Maara goes with madness, cranking up the bpm, and conjuring a version that is deep into prog territory. A propulsive proto trance journey through winds and dungeon echoes.

On her version of Alien, Roza Terenzi casts a hypnotic spell of ghostly melodies and vocal hooks. Her deeper interpretation takes listeners on a breakbeat mission through sizzling electronics and emotive sub bass.

Alex Kassian’s Sphinx Gate Mix of Alien closes it out by slowing things down and transporting Alien into nostalgic territory with melodic arps and peak Haceinda-era breaks and bass. If you listen to his emotional remix carefully enough, you may hear a vocal response from Kim Ann’s partner Cora in its final fleeting moments.

Denizens of the Oyster Cult, rejoice. Elusive dancefloor operator S.O.N.S has followed last year’s compilation cameo up with the deadliest of full debuts.

Booting off with some rough 'n ready gear, "Drive" is the latest chapter as S.O.N.S undergoes his metamorphosis into a more brooding entity. The esteemed Junction Records and Junction Forest proprietor oscillates between tunnelling acid techno and a darkwave-indebted workout somewhat reminiscent of Dutch pioneer Das Ding. Three night-stalking club trax rooted in ominous portent.

Trading the gentler touch and sound sensitivity of releases past for something tougher, and meaner, but there aren’t any diminishing returns. Quite a departure from the introspection of that aforementioned compilation appearance while retaining the transcendent qualities that always typified his work.

Let Me Know

'From Then To Now' is a compilation of personal dance floor favorites from Memphis' MarceauxMarceaux. Many of these tracks were created in the height of the pandemic and never really found their way. From bass-heavy breaks of z72.52 to the pumping house and techno of DJ Judy, all these tracks deserve a time to shine, and that time is now. We are so excited these tracks have found a home with us at Future-Everything.
