PREMIERE: Axon Growth Factor - E-State [Comma Traxx]

[PREMIERE] Polymorphic Magic - Anderson | On Rotation [2022]

For the debut vinyl EP on Viscera Transmissions, Manami embarks on an interplanetary voyage to distant moons. Let her distinct, melodic style bathe you in a dreamy celestial glow.

Eventide In Orbit cruises across the star-shot horizon. An era spanning blend of ambient techno and melodic trance trailing lofty astral tones, before warping into 303 hyperspace.

Afterburners roaring, our voyage brings us to Interaxial, exploring the weightier side of Manami’s sound. Evoking images of an interplanetary battle, laser synth barrages flash across the skies of this heads down techno thumper.

On the flip side, Overture One prepares for docking protocols, slowly drifting on cosmic winds back towards the ambient mothership. Pulsating synth wobbles take the helm and ride the driving baseline into the sunset.

Meanwhile, on the outskirts of the known cosmos, Adam Pits ignites an extra-terrestrial dancefloor with his aptly titled ‘Stomp’ remix of Overture One. Alien booties shake to a breakbeat tip before morphing into a squelchy cosmic slugger. Tentacles head skyward for Adam’s mind altering sound. Heavy as!

PREMIERE : Manami - Overture One (Adam Pits' Stomp Mix)

With bright chords, pumping rhythms, and gripping bass lines, the fast-rising talent Aldonna (@aldonna) emerges from Melbourne’s underground with her ‘Morph’ EP, including remixes from Alex Kassian (@alexkassian) and Marli (@marlimusicau), set for release via us, your favorite fuckin' label.

Having cut her teeth in Melbourne's lively community with her party series Re-Leaf and as a fixture on the Australian club circuit, Aldonna’s sound is clearly supercharged with dancefloor energy. And her passion hasn't gone unnoticed. Cosigns from the likes of BICEP, who tapped her to contribute to their acclaimed ‘Feel My Bicep’ mix series, prove she’s been an artist to watch for some time. Now with her debut EP, she introduces her own distinct sound which traverses seamlessly through nostalgic trance motifs and hyper ravey breaks. Aldonna is clearly making a push to be an unstoppable force in clubland.

The EP leads off with ‘Nights In Shizuoka’ and a rugged rhythm laying the foundation for arpeggiated synths building until a mystical pan flute carries the ballad to heavenly heights. Throughout the release, Aldonna showcases a knack for playing with a multitude of sonic textures, and the next track titled 'Air Sign' possesses layers of immersive textures, from tight acid lines to bubbling ambiance, haunting vocal chops, and warm emotive melodies layered over pumping breaks for an ecstatic anthem. The a-side concludes with 'For All That We Know' as a tight bass line sets the stage for Aldonna to build on her playful aesthetic with a shimmering and exuberant melody.

On the flip side, Aldonna goes full rave mode with 'The Empress' Acid Line', leading with chopped breaks before an infectious acid riff creeps and builds with seductive vocals, delivering massive energy that is palpable. Following the originals is a remix by Berlin-based Love On The Rocks mainstay Alex Kassian who aims his version of 'The Empress' Acid Line' at the most euphoric dancefloor moments and delivers a tried and true trancey euro-house weapon not to be overlooked. Rounding out the release is Melbourne’s own Marli who flips 'Air Sign' with a rumbling bass line to reveal a bumping house cut that will satisfy the most vibrant crowds in the dance.

Label : Haŵs (https://soundcloud.com/hawsmusic)

For the 17th release on our label, Naarm-based DJ/producer Solar Suite explores the playful liminality of dusk and dawn, taking locked grooves and prog sounds as the tools to transform the strange into something exhilarating.

‘Clear Skies’ comprises 3 high-nrg club-ready tracks and 2 slow chuggers to balance out the up-tempo rhythms, all with dedicated circumstances to be plucked out from record bags and presented to a willing crowd. The only question left: what occasions personal to the selector will they rear their heads?

PREMIERE: Abdul Raeva - Vela [Echocentric Records]

out the shape of the old brickwork above the shadow of the trees. It had been there for thousands of years, untouched and mysterious in the midst of the thick, dense jungle. It was said that inside there were precious jewels and treasures from a bygone era and that was what they were here to find out.

The ‘Turtle’, as it was known by the locals’ had never been explored before for it was said to be cursed with ancient spells and dark magic which might make it treacherous for an untrained adventurer. Yet now, here they were, wandering towards the magnificent old structure with the intent of raiding all it laid claim to. It was time to enter the turtle..


 
Fio Faa is set to kickstart a new record label, Sunset Drifters. The first release on the newly launched imprint comes from himself and features four fast paced tracks which sit somewhere between the domain of house, nu trance and techno. This track in particular remained us of those old race car video games from the 90’s, the type where a fast car careered through the snow capped mountain side in glorious pixelated chaos.

Scandi-lous! We’ve got another other-worldly record for you, courtesy of who? Jeku! The man from Helsinki has given us a much-coveted gift, a gift that traverses incredulity yet still thankfully remains harnessed to the human realm. The story that started below the ozone layer has moved to the stratosphere. Transcendence is coming, and boy has he been busy. 

No subterfuge, just a guy from the underground with two ears for unparalleled tranceability. No description, just listen and try not to ascend. It can’t be done. It’s Jeku for you.
