@nehzarecords tee up their fourth release, a debut from the amazingly talented Egyptian producer @hassan-abou-alam. For anyone not yet familiar, ‘Ice’ should provide a fine introduction to the artist’s unique sinewy and bass-heavy sound.

Our yearly compilation returns with our fourth installment, Polygon, a set of 8 tracks that, as usual, go in different and intriguing musical directions.

The Hanged Man gets dark with an EBM smasher; Cavalry Stone (@cavalrystone) picks up the tempo with an arpeggiated heavy-hitter; Clock Serum continues with a high-tempo Industrial/EBM smasher; NiKiT (@nikit) offers an electro monster; Jack Carel (@jakovc) delivers a deep electro beast; and Gem Wallow (@gemsekime) wraps things up with a driving leftfield psychedelic number.

Polygon is out on December 2nd, 2022.

VA - Polygon (SAM012)/ SNIPPETS - Out Dec 2, 2022

The sea glistened underneath the sun; each wave twinkled brightly as it lapped against the rocky shore. He'd holed up on a bench at the top of the cliff, one that gave him a perfect viewpoint of the unending waterline. The breeze whipped at his hair and the tassel on his scarf, he inhaled deeply, breathing in the fresh sea air. It was soothing up here, there was something so incredibly freeing about it, almost as if he were above earth and looking down on it...

London-based label Inside Out start tying up their run of 2022 releases with a new EP from Tecwaa titled Future Sonic Luminaries. The fellow London residing producer follows up releases on Hoga Nord and Futureboogie with his first outing for Stevie R & Alex Zed's label, which features three cuts that veer in different sonic directions. There's hypnotic downtempo and acid-driven breaks and bass, all of which are tied together by a cosmic atmosphere.

PREMIERE: Tecwaa - Pacific Blends [Inside Out Records]

The clouds were dark and stormy, the sky was thick with rain as a wild wind blew through the streets shaking towerblocks and rattling the windows. Neon lights were all that illuminated the moody backdrop, bright colours in pink, blue, yellow and red cast a hazy artificial glow from shop windows and billboards.

It was the middle of the afternoon but you could be forgiven for thinking it was midnight.

As he strolled beneath a black umbrella he looked around at this bitter, bitter place.

This was his final hate.

Gonno is set to release a new EP on JIN – a deep assortment of mostly club focussed material which is at times as challenging as it is ethereal. This track called ‘Final Hate’ is punishing and ominous.

@lakehaze 'S.M.H' [@shallnotfade] is a straight up nostalgic lift across cloudy, pad-upholstered skylines and emotional flat shifts, slowly heckled by a passive-aggressive onslaught of 303 swells. A full-on threatening vibe and intense magnetic blast.

Just by looking at the centre label stamp, you know the tone is set. With a balaclava for coat of arms, the debut offering from Locked Club & RLGN on @privatepersons is a matter of black market G music, packed to the rim with illicit blends of incendiary old-school breakbeat and acid-belching club music tailored for big room rumble and outdoor raving.
