[PREMIERE] World of Content (Glen's Spacefunk Remix) - Baraka | Not On Label [2023]

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]

On Rotation returns with the second instalment of its Genetic Memories V/A series, showcasing the diversity of the label’s sound through 4 floor-focused cuts from a spectrum of global talent.

Fresh from dropping an EP with our good friends space:lab, Rambal Cochet delivers a mind-melting A1 to start things off. Deep, tasteful and making full use of his trademark sound design, “Meteora” is one for the witching hour! 

Bolam steps up next with the party-starting “Dream Machine”. Colourful synths sit atop driving breaks, with the peak-time energy dialled up to 11. 

Flipping the record reveals a darker, hazier sound. Moisk’s “GooSE Attack” is reminiscent of long nights (and mornings, and afternoons) in the smoky clubs of Berlin and Amsterdam, while the dark, rolling tech house of “X-Stream” by Aussie heroes Primitive Needs is pure afters’ fodder - a real B2 killer for those who know.

On Rotation is a Leeds-based event & mix series turned label, with 6 genre-defining releases featuring scene stalwarts such as Adam Pits, Solar Suite, Anderson, Roza Terenzi and Hybrid Man, Jamie Leather & more.

Bolam - Dream Machine [ONRO06]

@soft-limits, a Prague-based event and music collective welcomes 9 artists from around Europe for the first label release, "Soft Limits VA vol. 1". While maintaining a consistent message of progressive and groovy, each artist has cut out their spot amongst the compilation.

From deep and warp-y to powerful and dance-y, the collection of tracks tells a story of the eclectic taste of Soft Limits. While relying on a home base of traditional trance and house elements, further reaches into more obscure genres tend to leak into each production.
