The sun was setting over the island in the distance as he retreated back towards his cabin to watch the waves roll in against the shore. There was a faint glow over the water, the last dying embers of the day. Soon it would be time to stroll back through the fields towards the village in the distance many miles away, he often preferred to do it beneath the cloak of darkness when the air was cooler and he could feel the tickle of the tall grain against his skin. It was peaceful here, peaceful and quiet. 

LT is back on X-Kalay, a record label on which he released a belter of an EP on back in 2020. Now he returns with a fast paced, dreamy couple of tracks which wouldn't sound out of place in Sasha or Digweed set from days gone by.

PREMIERE: LT - Grain [X-Kalay]

Despina - Weird Angel

The highly-anticipated second release from Troubleshoot comes from long-time friend of the London-based label, Scaefa, who has been steadily rising through the ranks of the UK electronic music scene for some time. The Reading born and raised artist has had previous releases on heavyweight labels such as La Bonne Musique and Draconian Audio, and radio play on revered stations including BBC Radio 1, certifying him as one to watch for the future.

The four-track EP – set to arrive on September 16th – showcases a unique variation of sounds, from bass-forward breakbeats to pounding melodic trance, Scaefa’s eclectic and wide-ranging music taste is present from beginning to end in Dream Stealer.

The record starts with title track “Dream Stealer”, rolling out big beats, heavy bass, and bouncing leads, paired with layers of lush pads and ambient chords. “Fault Line” is an uptempo, electro influenced track with emotionally charged, pulsating strings running throughout, along with metallic drums, rumbling bassline, syncopated synths and melodies floating in the spaces between to create a truly atmospheric experience. “Mythos” is a groovier, techno track that takes cues from the heavily percussive electronic music which renowned artists like Call Super and Pearson Sound have become known for in recent years.

To close, “Overflow” is a euphoric trance banger with ravey stabs, techy percussive elements and anthemic drops built for big room clubs and festival stages which Scaefa’s releases have become synonymous with.

About Troubleshoot

Troubleshoot is a London-based record label run by Jon Selbo with a focus on dancefloor-driven sounds from across the electronic music spectrum, including house, techno, electro, breakbeat, and beyond. Since its inception in 2020, the label has sought to showcase inventive music from artists looking to push the boundaries, but its releases are still heavily influenced by the rich analog sound of the past.

Friend [AYK002]

Intruder.wav is the ideologue of the Carte Blanche label, a party organizer and producer from Chelyabinsk.
This EP was made on direct percussion and stabs, without the influence of timeless fashion trends. You can listen to it in different planes in order or backwards, start with the even ones, and continue with the odd ones and vice versa, everyone will find the optimal sequence for themselves.

The idea of these excerpts lies in the stab of each individual track, because the stab is something short, so to speak, fleeting, like life and everyone lives this life in their own way, and the direct blow that accompanies you throughout the whole path is like a metronome, that is, a certain programmed step, like time.

Wait for the Intruder.wav – Stab Life EP on the 30th on all platforms and CDs!
