Boredom had set in, she'd been on the end of the line for what felt like eternity. Her fingers felt course from drumming on the table for so long; willing the time away so she could begin her life again. The music chirped loudly in her ear, the same snippet played on loop over and over and over again. Would she lose her mind waiting for an answer?

Set up to highlight the sounds coming out of their home of Los Angeles, Let's Play House's Nik Mercer and a fellow LA native have launched Zen 2000, an imprint that will platform friends and family who bear a deep connection to the Californian city. First up is a two tracker from House Of Ho, that sits somewhere between Hong Kong and the City of Angels, both sonically and in its origin, having been written, recorded and produced between the two locations.

PREMIERE: House of Ho - Please Hold [Zen 2000]

It were as if she were floating, drifting between the clouds as they danced against a backdrop of radiant blue. They serenaded her as he drew closer towards the earth down below. Nobody had ever told her it might feel like this, a weightless heaven in which her wildest dreams could soar high upon the breeze. She wondered if she might ever hit the ground and hoped that this freefall might last a lifetime... 

Dream-E is a Glaswegian producer and DJ based in Berlin. Last year he was diagnosed with a very rare but severe brain infection called Encephalitis. He is still in recovery but has since started a label to release his own music with funds raised from the releases going towards The Encephalitis Society Charity - an organisation that helps those and their families less fortunate than he.

PREMIERE: Dream E - Freefall [The Burrell Connection]

Live recording from our set last weekend in Urban Spree in Berlin. So nice to play in front of a crowd and it was a pleasure to see so many old friends and making new ones on the dance floor! Even big man @fhionn swung by and played a few. Unfortunately I (Aidan) got a new recording device and the cables I got for it were a bit MEH but we've managed to salvage most of the set for listening back too! Big love to the Milk Me crew for their hospitality also <3

Silvan debuts on City Bowl Wax Network with Laika, a colourful and lush four tracker exploring complex rhythms, evolving melodies, and carefully crafted sound design that transports the listener into an ethereal realm. Aquatic and intricate breakbeats intertwine with highly atmospheric pads to create a sense of depth and space, propelling the listener through a broad range of imagined environments. Percussive exercises are interrupted by ambient motifs that make the EP suitable for any type of listening environment from the home to the most daring dancefloors. With Laika, Silvan proves himself as a producer with incredible depth and the ability to sculpt detailed sonic landscapes, places that imprint on the listener long after the EP finishes. @s_i_l_v_a_n

Mario Moretti - CS1X

The city was tired – it had been standing for too long. It was only a matter of time before the wheels came off and the industry which once was here retreated into the nothingness of empty warehouses and abandoned complexes. This was not how it had been supposed to end…

As the clouds passed over the sprawling metropolis, it were as if they too were leaving this place one by one. They came and went, much in the same way as the investment had done. All that was left here now were good people, kind spirits and the remainder of a once great empire which had stood tall and proud, built upon its machines.

Mark Hand & Neil Iceton channel influences from Detroit on this brilliant new EP for Innate. These tracks could have been recorded in the Motor City way back for all we know. Beautiful, wild, sprawling melodies are paired with fast paced drums and percussion which is built for dancing. This one comes highly recommended with a gold seal of approval.

LOS SANTOS | San Andreas x GTA x 50 Cent Type Beat

Italiano:
Atmosfere immersive e ipnotiche tra pianoforte frammentato, synth evolutivi e texture organiche. Percussioni minimali e vocal sussurrati creano un viaggio sonoro introspettivo e cinematografico.

English:
Immersive, hypnotic soundscapes with fragmented piano, evolving synths, and organic textures. Minimal percussion and whisper-like vocals create an introspective, cinematic sonic journey.
