We are over the moon to welcome Sedef Adasi with her debut EP to Public Possession.

[PP054] Sedef Adasi - Fantasy Zone (Snippets)

New Mini LP featuring 5 hyper-textured earthy pieces from Priori. The music flows and breathes, recounting stories from the perspective of a little flower. ''First we all grow in a row. But as the land expands and the hills rise, we take pleasure in chaos... and covet the unknown''

Priori - Sour Fruit

The 18th segment of Haŵs' sonic anthology comes from the US-born electronica wunderkid Anderson! After featuring on the label's 'Viral Syndicate' digital compilation series back in 2020, they had him in the crosshairs for a full release ever since.

The result? A brilliant 4 track EP filled with dynamic proggy goodness, acid squelches and intoxicating house rhythms, unmistakably inspired by the 90s and stamped with the signature Anderson sound.

Free Shelter presents their first V/A of original productions; Dancefloor Mindscapes.

The EP travels through 4 different interpretations of the familiar feeling of letting go of your emotions, and escaping within the dancefloor amongst like minded people in a unity unlike anything else.

Whether it be via the hypnotic, dubby intro track from AK-One, to the slow burning acid lines of Jeku, via the melancholically euphoric middle track of Mirage-Man, and ending with the final push in an emotional rollercoaster from Stuster; the main message is still applied.

"Four heady cuts, mind-bending and bold
For curious dancers, their stories to unfold
From Lithuanian maestro, Pletnev his name
Modular beats, a rhythmic refrain”

Alex Pletnev, a DJ & producer hailing from Vilnius, is known for his performances at top clubs and festivals across Europe such as Roxy in Paris, Razzmatazz in Barcelona, and Renate in Berlin. Alex is a resident at the renowned Opium club in Vilnius. He has previously released on Futureboogie, SZA & Swedish Brandy to name a few

And You Never Come Back EP (RMECR001)

PREMIERE: Pletnev - Bass Covered With Gold

The sun began to set in the distance, sucking the warmth from the day and leaving a bitter chill in the air. In daylight the landscape was breathtaking but under the veil of darkness everything changed. The hills distorted into new forms, the trees became twisted and contorted, the shapes of the valley morphing and moving as if they were coming to life. The people and animals were different too; it was as though they were under a spell, hypnotised by the glowing moon and the blanket of stars that cascaded overhead.

Terra Magica know their onions. Since launching in spring of 2021, they've served up gem after gem of weirdo club music, welcoming with open arms artists like Rambal Cochet, Poly Chain, Mogwaa and many more to join their psychedelic world. Focusing predominantly on Various Artist releases, their next is more of the same, this time featuring new, unreleased magic from the likes of Tadan, Iro Aka, Moisk and a few nuggets from the label bosses, Mirko Hecktor and Tom Sprenger, individually and under their joint guise Hektisch Sprengen DJs. CLUB TERRAM has got a bit of everything we love: a sprinkle of cosmic goodness, a peppering of acid and some of those Goa trance flavours - very tasty.

PREMIERE: Iro Aka - Deshaper [Terra Magica]

An EP of limbo-inducing squelch courtesy of our good friends Latrec aka Andy Bainbridge and Serious Hots, ft. techno flavoured remixes from Bristolian pal Remotif & our very own Matt Cowell & Johnny Aux as The W.C. Enjoy.

In the furthest reaches of the cosmos, the intergalactic community gathers for the annual Kutika Limbo finals. Reigning champion Latrec draws the first straw and the percussion rolls excitedly as he steps up to the pole.

Kutika glides lithely under the bar, tentacles wobbling to the acid rhythm. He celebrates his victory as the crowd chants in a glitchy alien dialect. “Kutika-tika-tika-tika!”

Second in line, Latrec’s younger brother Dub Mix steps up for his first limbo. Shorter and stockier than his brother, we don’t know what to expect from this one. Once again the percussion rolls, the crowd gasps as his squidgy exoskeleton melts before their eyes, reforming on the other side of the bar - ‘blooooop’. The crowd goes wild “Kut-Kut!”

Next up is The W.C. Events take a strange turn as they forgo the competition, instead they walk to the stage to sweep the band aside, hijacking control of the instruments. Heavy percussive hits twist spacetime with material melting bass throbs. The crowd goes wild as the fabric of reality collapses around them.

Last but by no means least is Remotif, a techno unit resembling a giant cluster of biceps stands staring at the limbo pole, chaos erupting around him. The tempo of the percussion rises in anticipation and acid thunder roars in the background. Remotif picks up the bar, blinks, and hurls it off into the furthest reaches of the galaxy never to be seen again. 

Tracklist:

1. Kutika
2. Kutika (Dub)
3. Kutika (The W.C. Remix)
4. Kutika (Remotif Remix)

Tongue-in-cheek as usual, belleter Niklas Wandt melts up pianos, acid lines and bass heavy breaks as raw material for Die Glocke (The Bell). When the hunchback pours the lead of three decades of rave culture onto your lost souls, it’s too late for shelter.
Fantastic Twins evaporates not just the bell but the whole bell tower into particles of peak time madness for the mental cases.
On the flip Bodyzeit heats up on an even more old schoolish tip with breaks that definitely win the bumper car dancefloor. Very sorry for the spilt drinks, thrown fags, popped pills, ripped shirts and funny faces trying to sing along these german vocoder phrases. Borusiade doing some serious bodywork, shifting gears down in her lowrider manner, modding this burner into a dreamish but deep wee-hour masterride.

Jay York - Espirito [CNDRM004 | Premiere]

Gungurru is a master of revealing itself. Layers emerge out of sonorous, penetrating sub-waves, warbled, twittering synth sequences parry against one another, and in the fissure of their clashes, another layer joins the fold, rising, ethereal flutes, or are they the dulcet tones of angelic soprano’s?

'Gungurru' - Jon Jones (Finding Figaro Premiere)
