been coming back to this track for a week already. I guess its time to buy the wax

The orange hue of the street lamps guided their way up the high street; each one a beacon lighting their journey home. Blurry eyed and at various levels of inebriation, they agreed on a routine pitstop before going their separate ways and calling it a night. First the bright neon lights beckoned them in, before the delicious smells emanating from behind the counter entered their nostrils and they knew they'd made the right decision. They weren't going to bed hungry. 

Since starting life in 2019, Helsinki label Avoidance has provided a platform for Finnish artists, which so far encompasses releases from Sansibar, WND and 53X. For their fourth outing they bring on board another local artist, Jeku, who's previous releases for his own non-temporal label have displayed his fresh blend of acid, trance and progressive house flavours. It's more of the same on his Avoidance debut but this time he journeys into deeper and darker corners of the electronic spectrum.

PREMIERE: Jeku - Falafel Nights [Avoidance]

Bubbling beneath the surface of Japan's emerging underground scenes, Osaka based artist Paperkraft has passionately developed his craft, immersing himself in the culture and championing a new wave of Japanese artists. With the rise of genres like UKG & bass in neighboring cities like Kyoto - it’s the progressive and house movement Paperkraft is concerned about. Although more niche in his native city, developing a sustainable scene and championing the sounds he loves is the ultimate goal.

First introduced to HOMAGE through friend and breakthrough producer Stones Taro, Paperkraft referenced releases like Aldonna’s Morph EP as the catalyst to send his demos, and who subsequently remixed ‘OK Corral’. The Melbourne based producer has since toured frequently both in Europe and in her home country of Australia; continuing to put her own stamp on the underground and lending her expertise to remixes for the likes of Benjamin Fröhlich and Rosa Red.

Inspired by sounds from the 90 - 00’s, and essential to the overall essence of his music, Paperkraft blends the old with the new. This duality can be found in the opening track ‘The Amazing Spaceman’ where liquid drums foam over contemporary sound design. ‘Dizzy Disk’ kicks things up a notch, holding on to that same old-school-new-school duality with an extra dose of dopamine for good measure. Manchester’s Aiden Francis lends his signature sound to the remix, with elements of breakbeat, trance and electro, showing why labels and clubgoers rate him so highly.

Breakthrough tracks’ like Papekrafts’ ‘Dimple’ which was released by HearThug’s Are You Alien label gathered large support, and made a special appearance on Manami’s Boiler Room Debut; laying the foundations for tracks like ‘OK Corral’ to take shape. The infectious vocal sample coupled with jam-like riffs give off the vibe that it was done in one take in an act of pure enthusiasm, with that same energy lending itself to the dancefloor. Aldonna’s remix adds a balearic and emotive touch, while ‘Stella’ rounds off the EP with a left leaning cut perfect for low capacity clubs and sweaty, dimly-lighted rooms.

PIFF Records welcome 4 in-demand artists to the label on their latest release, also available as a limited 500 press vinyl release.

Home to forward-thinking house, trance, and techno, PIFF Records boasts a diverse yet united musical output. Cosmic, dub-driven techno, atmospheric house beats, and everything in between coalesces under the imprint’s distinctive output of thoughtful, club-ready sounds. All aspects of PIFF Records come together on this release as the featured artists balance the cerebral and visceral in their productions.

Cybernet kicks off the release with Resonant Shifter. Pumping kicks lay the foundation for captivating synth arpeggios and warped call and response basses in this ‘90s-inspired cut of contemporary progressive trance. The perfect soundtrack for any location from sunset on the Ibiza seafront to sunrise as the shutters open at a warehouse rave.

Goa elements are out in full force on Hoe Down, courtesy of Glen S. Squelchy 303s, low textures, and metallic arpeggios resonate above a pulsating bassline and weighty kicks, relentlessly pushing forward and ascending to a new sonic dimension - taking you along for the ride.

Body Clinic substitutes the progressive trance for progressive house on Love X, bringing down the tempo but keeping intensity intact. An infectious, syncopated plucked bassline dances around groove-rich drums, psychedelic effects and leads indebted to early ‘90s releases. A masterful blend of the past, present, and future together on one track. 

Closing the EP with Empty Clip, Tom Jarmey disrupts the 4x4 rhythms of the preceding tracks with a genre-bending cut of electro-infused breaks. Two-step drums are matched with clinical sound design, deep basses, and mystical arpeggios. Sure to add depth to any set and turn heads in the process.

about
Emerging from the shadows of the underground, Pire Meilleur’s latest EP, Echoes From The Lab is a five-track journey traversing the haunting corridors of Progressive Trance

On the menu, 4 bouncy lowrider delights and tasty psy-infused potions sprinkled with a generous pinch of prog spice.
The journey begins with Quartz, a solid four-to-the-floor treat and its extra chunky bassline to warm up your club nights.
Twisted Clouds gives the needed acid flavors, stirring in wide squelchy tones and sparkling textures.
Deep oscillations as a guide, take a dip in Visualizer, a bittersweet cocktail of mental atmosphere blending in percussive crisp and glittering spring drops.
Wait for Cosmic G to unveil his own recipe of the track, turning it into an absolute prog anthem, loaded with interlacing resonances and mingled delay tails.
As a closing, Mud Dealer would give you the best excuse to get caught enjoying a guilty pleasure, bouncing to a galloping rumble and tasty filter sweeps at 4 am.
Crank up the volume and don’t fear to get splashed !

[PREMIERE] Quartz - Pire Meilleur | 39 Records [2024]

Losing yourself in a garden of auditory delights, Apertura by Orchid is a 7-track collection unfurling like a rare night-blooming flower, revealing layers of trippy electronic soundscapes and hypnotic vocals. The experience is as potent and rare as the most exotic of orchid, taking root in your psyche and leaving a permanent mark in the electronic ecosystem.

Orchid's five original tracks form the vibrant petals of this auditory blossom, each one a kaleidoscopic approach through pulsating beats and evolutive patterns. The music unfolds with the delicate precision of an orchid's anatomy, intricate and mesmerizing, yet packing the punch of a psychedelic expedition.

Von Riu makes his Proxima debut with Gore-Tek, a high-voltage fusion of delirious, sexy, and proggy club sounds, engineered for full-throttle dancefloor pressure. The Parisian producer sharpens his signature sound into razor-edged, hypnotic grooves, injecting each track with an electrified, biomechanical pulse.

Somewhere between cybernetic warfare and splattered synths, Gore-Tek sounds like the aftermath of a rogue AI discovering club music—glitching, twisting, and rewiring its sonic DNA with surgical precision. Industrial-strength basslines meet liquid futurism, forging a dancefloor experience that’s as menacing as it is euphoric.

PREMIERE: Von Riu - Atmosfear
