Shai FM - Plume

Following his debut EP Foreign Exchange, Somatic Rituals co-founder returns to the label with Clepto Loop: a track shaped for high-energy club settings. Driven by hypnotic, hard-hitting kicks and sizzling, textured sound design, the track leans into a raw, functional aesthetic. Repetitive vocal fragments loop throughout, creating a sense of tension and propulsion that blurs the line between Techno and Bass. A pure DJ tool with personality — Somatic Rituals re-ups the energy with this stripped-back, bass-weighted belter.

All proceeds from this release will be donated directly to support the Abu Zereiq family in Gaza.

Kombé - Clepto Loop

Australia’s electro master shows another side with a mature, experimental IDM sound.

A haiku:

Broken bones
A time to reset
A new way

Jensen Interceptor isn’t normally one to stay still but after a freak accident left him with multiple fractures in his foot he was forced to stop and take a few months off. Luckily for us he put all the pent-up energy into his new LP, Interception, out this week on his International Chrome imprint. The LP pulls in influence from IDM, Footwork, and Baile Funk to create his most experimental work yet.


 
“Since I started making music I’ve always made music geared towards use in my DJ sets but there’s always been an urge to explore the deeper side of electronic music. That time off after the accident gave me the space to dive into genres and really experiment.”

PREMIERE: Jensen Interceptor - He's Cute [International Chrome]

Label Soundcloud/ socials: @Lambratech

Lambratech kicks off a new trilogy starting with Footclan’s devastating EP Data Loss.

Rooted in the raw energy of old school electro and ghetto, Footclan strips things down to the essentials: machine-funk grooves and basslines built for the floor. Data Loss celebrates the foundations of the genre while reworking them with the punch and precision of today’s underground sound.

Backed by a heavyweight roster of remixers, the EP explodes across continents: Detroit’s Filthiest channels raw electro-bass grit, Wachita China drops razor-sharp rhythms, The Deserter mutates the flow into distorted industrial landscapes, Bocabeats injects Latin-infused grooves, EQ Why pushes the ghetto sounds to the extreme in a footwork key, and UnoTurbo twists the signal into modular madness.

Together, these tracks set the stage for the Lambratech trilogy — a neon-lit journey into data corruption, machine mutation, and total collapse. Data Loss is the breach. The virus is in. The system won’t recover.

3XCLUSIV3: Footclan - Testing Loss Protocol (UnoTurbo Remix) [Lambratech]

Gamma Intel returns to Nerve Collect with four tracks of electrically charged bass, techno and broken beats. His Time Loop EP explores a range of rhythms and tempos aimed squarely at the floor.

Nerve Collect co-founder Gamma Intel is Dutchman Laurens van de Werken. He has always worked at the intersection of several different sounds, even as his references have evolved from chugging techno to deconstructed jungle. A unifying theme is this meticulous sound design: it's leftfield and experimental but underpinned by irresistible rhythms while his synths are so tactile you could almost reach out and grab them. His latest studio adventures mark another subtle shift across four hard-to-define and otherworldly transmissions sent back from the future.

‘Construct’ crackles with paranoid urgency driven by underlapping drums that push a cantering rhythm. Fragmented vocal chops and fuzzy, static-laced synths swirl throughout the mix to create a vortex of controlled chaos. Eerie breakdowns offer fleeting breaths, but the creeping tension of surveillance never fully releases before the disorienting momentum draws you back in. ‘Node’ feels like a computer meltdown fused with a floating, dub-inflected and steppy rhythm. Snares flutter up top as frothing synths and warped bass bring the pressure. The final touch is human vocals, decayed by signal inference, which melt into percussive loops and echo about the mix. 

‘Cycle’ takes a more muscular approach. The oversized drums and hits engage in battle with a snaking lead as a backlit glow consumes both to provide for a moment of human beauty that contrasts with the stark machine warfare around it. ‘Lever’ dives into deep dubstep madness, its full-bodied waves lurching like a storm-tossed ocean. Intricate details like distant sirens, flickering streetlights and mutant sine waves fill the stereo field and, paired with the unstoppable rhythmic force, hypnotise body and mind. 

Gamma Intel's Time Loop EP is a masterclass in tension, texture and momentum that pushes club music into uncharted territory, keeps the body moving and the imagination fully engaged.

NC012 // Gamma Intel - Time Loop EP

Listen to "Mindbreaker" by Kendu Bari taken from "Drink For Your Machine" EP out on October 10th via Who's Susan

Pre-order: https://kendubari.bandcamp.com/album/drink-for-your-machine

Kendu Bari steps out on Who's Susan with his four headed monster, Drink for your Machine. The EP is bold, bass heavy and strongly influenced by cyberpunk nostalgia.

The Sann Odea co-owner, known for his weighty live performances, brings the same focused intensity to his DJ sets, recently heard at The Lot Radio in New York and during the legendary closing weekend of De School. We're very excited for this one as we believe that he is one of the most exciting voices in modern bass music.

So sit back and let your machine sip what it's been thirsting for.
