Premiere: Dugong - Loire [Pace Yourself]

He walked atop the padded floor across the gym, taking in the uncomfortable stares and awkward glares from onlookers. The machines rattled, raced and echoed as people pushed their bodies to the limit, testing their endurance and strength. The room was hot, the heat reverberated between dense writhing figures and soon too he would feel just as phased by the dizzying warmth. Now as he approached his station he began to move and sway, for his workout, his routine was a dance. 

Escape Artist is a producer we've kept a close eye on over the years, having released a number of tracks which have caught our ears. The Australian producers latest appearance is on a compilation by Truth, a sprawling affair which features cutting edge electronics and material for the dance.

Jonas Blue & Malive – Edge Of Desire (SCINTILLATE Remix)
A fresh take on one of the most uplifting records of the year. I wanted to push the track into my world — bigger drops, darker grooves, and a high–energy festival feel while keeping the iconic emotion of the original.

This remix blends melodic house textures, tight tech–inspired drums, and a driving bassline built for peak-hour sets. Perfect for DJs looking for something fresh, powerful, and floor-ready.

If you’re feeling this one, drop a like, share it, and tag me in your sets — love seeing your support! 💙✨

Qnete - Pasting Pieces [777_19] Preview

Natal Zaks aka Mr. IRL sets the bar for fellow Århus based label 'Lightweight Electronics', contributing a 13 track LP to make up the label's inaugural release tited 'Synthesized Emotion', which was simutaniously produced to soundtrack a film produced by Natal, commissioned by the team at Strøm Festival. 

Staying true to Natal's varied output across varied monikers, 'Synthesized Emotion' is an eclectic display of a forward-thinking producer; giving nuances to how futuristic dance music would sound in space, curating the soundtrack for a stunning film, of which you can view here: https://vimeo.com/446785453 

The current offering perfectly embodies the LP's sound, and accompanying visuals. With a cosmic feel summated by heavily syncopated drums, terrestrial synth squeals and a gurgling bassline, extra terrestrial travel has never sounded so possible.

The LP will be distributed by the affiliated Safe Distro crew; you can grab it here: https://lightweightelectronics.bandcamp.com/releases

UK producer BufoBufo (Ritual Poison / Batrachian Records) brings his amphibious sound to the growing Scottish Highland based label. The ‘Potholing’ EP takes its name from the definition of ‘underground cave exploration’, with three original tracks that pull you further into the deep, dark sounds of underground rave.

‘Cave Network’ sets the tone for the EP, immersed in acid-like textures, deep sweeping pads and interchanging breaks rhythms. Second in is ’Giant Antlion’ with cosmic style analog arp’s that lift towards a hefty breaks / bass combo, then ‘Blue Demoiselle’ takes you back to the surface with a rolling breaks number smothered in dreamlike pads and uplifting melodics. London based producer - and Ritual Poison co-runner - Corporeal Face ties the EP up with a phenomenal twist on ‘Cave Network’.

The ‘Patholing’ EP releases on Kouncil Cuts on November 13th.

Armed with only an 808, a tape machine and a grip of old Horror movie soundtracks DJ Cabbage (the rap-beat alter ego of Luca Lozano aka Planetluke.com) sat down and built the first volume of his Criminal Simulation series.

The project, which is a collaboration with Berlin based multi-faceted agency and lifestyle store Sporadic manifests in a C30 tape cassette with direct on-body printing and a longsleeve tshirt.

The tape features 10 separate tracks mixed continuously and harks back to the gory glory days of early Memphis tape rap, rough and unpolished, unapologetic and raw.

The environment around them was ever changing, for as much as it was bright and light there were also moments of bleak, bitter darkness. They lurked around the corner. The planet was as much a living organism as they were, a bubbling ball of fertile unrest and unpredictable consequences. As the clouds rolled by slowly overhead he listened to their rumbling - it was ominous and yet weighted with such promise. A living dub, a noise and a drone in the distant skies above. 

Max In The World is a New York based producer and label boss. He runs Bliss Point - a promising imprint with a penchant for deep, ethereal electronics, dub and beyond. Max himself is set to release a new EP at the start of this year. It features an all guns blazing remix from Lyon dj and producer Sentiments.

PREMIERE: Max In The World - The Living Dub (Sentiments' D-More Mix)[Bliss Point]

The jelly was soft and malleable, it flexed and danced beneath the glow of the warm strobe. The wall illuminated the empty room, a golden throbbing glass case within which the spongy substance weaved and wandered. This was lava and the onlookers were mesmerized by it's complex shape and wonderful flexibility. It throbbed and bounced from side to side, soft yet powerful...

The release is in aid of a great cause called habibi.works, a charity and institution designed to help and support refugees on the ground in Greece.
