Kolegos is back with a fresh disco-inspired acid house tune perfect for those long summer nights. The EP includes two remixes by two prominent Lithuanian producers: Cport Cistema and Pijus.

Cport Cistema's remix delivers a big room feel with powerful chords that will make any concrete building rumble. The groove and tempo are on point, making it a must-listen!

Pijus, focuses more on the wonky side of the track and unfolds the brighter part of it! Rolling beats are guaranteed!

Q1E2 Recordings present the 2nd single taken from Dr.Sud's forthcoming EP 'Heading South'.

He’s a Rome-born, Berlin-raised producer whose music is a fusion of percussion-centric soundscapes and integrated jazz-leaning harmonies, drawing inspiration from diverse genres like electronica, funk, and house.

‘Brina’, a word which in Italian refers to morning dew – perhaps found on a tent on the morning of a festival – represents the breaking of dawn with broken beats. The track breaks and squints into the start of the day with spacious kick drums leaving room for warm, almost familiar pads and keys.

PREMIERE : Dr.Sud - Brina

Birmingham-based artist Emily Jones, also known as Echo Juliet, releases her debut mini-album “Abandon Reality” on October 27th through her label, Invisible IDs.

________________________________________________________________________

Invisible IDs, a mystery to decode, Echo Juliet, with a Red Sun she rode, Through the cosmos, where the music flowed, A whimsical journey, down a creative road.

Invisible IDs, their secrets well-kept, Echo Juliet, never ceased to be adept, With beats and rhythms, she happily leapt, In a world of sound, where dreams were swept.

Red Sun painted skies in hues so bold, Echo Juliet’s melodies, a story to be told, Invisible IDs’ magic, a treasure to behold, A surreal symphony, in this tale of old.
____________________________________________________________________________________
 

Raised in Essex, Jones she transitioned from her classical training into the world of the electronic.  A journey, marked by self-doubt, led her to DJing and music production. “Abandon Reality” reflects her escape from societal issues, with tracks like “Red Sun” inspired by her childhood and concerns about climate change.

Red Sun

MORE INFO

PREMIERE: Echo Juliet - Red Sun [Invisible IDs]

There were a number of memories of which he felt to be missing, one day he hoped that they might return. There were faces and shadows which he could not recall, places he was sure he had been but could not place and moments in time he was not sure had been his.

He wanted to believe and know them all, as if he'd known them to be true and real all along. He wanted to feel the way in which they'd felt - that rush of whimsical nostalgic energy which left him longing to go back.

It seemed as though it was at the very edge of his fingertips - just out of reach. Out there in the great beyond.

Perhaps he was pure lost...

Helium Robots return with new music - a welcome treat. Following previous outings on the likes of Dissident and Running Back they now steady their sights on a new record on Unsure.

When nested breaks and complex harmonies slide into each other, the genre boundaries of electronic beats and hip hop blur seamlessly, the creativity of Erfurt artist Koju blossoms. Hardly a bar resembles the last, driven by detailed timbres & rythmic variations. Dirty drum fills, filter rides & a detour into the depths of the tides are laced together by the up-andcoming artist in this album as well as amen breaks and funky lo-fi nuances.

Heavily influenced by jazz, in recent years he has increasingly lost himself in the compositions of genre pioneers such as Skee Mask, Djrum & Kessler. Hardly has one arrived in the maelstrom of the work via the yearning mood in FLUIDS, Koju wraps the panorama in a warm, light-flooded robe through CBS & WHAT IS THERE only to finally conclude the journey with an incomparable dive of TIDES & FROM ABOVE.

As if the 6-tracker wasn't already an expansive journey into different emotions, the record is completed with 4 digital bonus tracks from established and emerging artists. The Vernacular Records label head Soul Edifice, Berlin Supermelodie label head FormerFuture, Erfurt Kfpnyx DJ & producer erasmus and the -from their last release still on VOITAX totally psyched- producer duo Thrived reach out for their new interpretations.

Global Goon returns with another fine addition to the Painting With Acid series. This 8 track offering is a lengthier and more experimental beast, which combines Goon’s irresistible oddball-acid bops with more smoked-out sonic soundscapes, making for a brilliant and bewitching listen. Painting With Acid Volume 3 is available to pre-order on limited edition cassette & download this Bandcamp Friday (5th October) both as a standalone release and also as part of a tape bundle deal, for those who missed out on his previous two sold out cassette editions.

Global Goon (aka Johnny Hawk) is a former shepherd & programmer from Liverpool. Having moved to London for a multimedia company in the 90s, he began producing music for fun and as a side hustle while rooming with Richard D James/Aphex Twin. Following some encouragement from the man himself, Hawk released his debut album ‘Goon’ on RDJ’s Rephlex imprint in 1996 with rumours that Global Goon was an alias of Aphex Twin’s, persisting even after the release of Cradle of History and Vatican Nitez. He later formed his own label J-Hok Records, before going on to release more hard-hitting acid tracks with dancefloors in his sights under the Syntheme, alias for Planet Mu and WeMe Records. The Painting With Acid series on Acid Waxa continues in the same vein, while also delving into more experimental soundscapes and downtempo ambient numbers, reminiscent of Goon’s earlier tracks for Rephlex.

Godheals The House - Third Healing (Long Play)

In memory of the victims of the October 7, 2023 massacre and in honor of the heroes who stood between life and death.

May their memory be a blessing. 

To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:
A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted;
A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up;
A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance;
A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;
A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away;
A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;
A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace.
- Ecclesiastes 3:1–8
