Slow Stings is - you guessed it - a slow/alt version of Bee Stings (from The Devil’s in the Dlzlzlz), which just felt right, or better even, at this tempo.

More exploratory works into the deepest realms of bass frequencies from Batu on his imprint A Long Strange Dream : ‘Sour 2 Taste ‘ showcases the Bristol producer switching gears to 170bpm and unleashing a kaleidoscopic vortex eyeing towards DnB.

Batu - Sour 2 Taste

The rooms were empty, each one sprawled out one after the other as they wandered between the vast corridors casting glances down hallways and into chambers. This place was magical, a temple of paradise in which wild things had happened and great kings and princes had reigned.

Who knew what fabled lore had been spoken of between these walls. The parties, the dances and the moments shared.

Now it sat empty, a temple for sublet, empty and waiting for the highest bidder.

Yet they never bid.

Glimmerman returns to First Second Label with a belter of an EP. One for the bass heads and the basement movers and shakers.

PREMIERE: Glimmerman - Temple Sublet [First Second Label]

Afterglow is a deep, melodic journey that blends cinematic sound design with emotive progressive energy. Built around warm synth layers, subtle percussion, and an evolving melodic core, the track captures that reflective moment between light and darkness - when the night fades but the feeling remains.

Released as part of my ongoing exploration of mood and atmosphere, Afterglow sits between chillout introspection and dancefloor drive - designed for sunsets, slow evenings, and late-night thoughts.  Supported by BBC Music Introducing.

Afterglow

Lyrics:


Don't turn around


I know how long that shit takes to save you from the ground
I don’t wanna leave you down no more don’t turn around 

And yet I cling still,
Because to release you
Would mean to vanish with you
I’ve already given up too much.

I trace your absence 
Like broken glass against my skin.
The pain proves you were real— 
Once

I search the silence for you
Every breath of wind,
Every ripple of darkness 
Feels like a whisper of your name

Every dream is a river.
But when I wake, 
The water has vanished, 
And I am left
With only sand in my hands.


I know how long that shit takes to save you from the ground
I don’t wanna leave you down no more don’t turn around

COP ENVY - CRY002
OUT AUGUST 2018
Global distribution via Rubadub.

Sydney via Melbourne-sider Cop Envy brings forth two heartbursting, patient and effective tools to mark the return of the Cry Baby imprint - long silent after their debut exploration with Dan White.

The anachoic, blistering tones of Balanced push the vinyl medium to it's absolute limits with Heavy, HEAVY bass and incredulously well produced embellishments making this a DJ tool for the year 3000. 

Leisure laces the flip with something a little closer to the present day no thanks to  barely melodic musical structures peeling away to reveal the rhythmic intricacies and soul rattling subsonics that roll effortlessly through to the bitter end. REWIND.

Taken from Who's Susan's 10th release 'Keep Talking' by @axefieldmusic

In a world full of rhythm, our inner callings rise. From the deep depths of our roots we chant and we pray. They keep on talking beneath the visions of hazy days twinkled with silver linings and mahogany dreams. The shaman trickles his way into your soul. The almighty seeker mystifies our kingdom. We have gathered to dance. We are together now. Let's explore the nature of Tumi, forever.
