Melbourne’s rising star DJ Life returns to Echocentric Records to complete the Musica Australis Incognita trilogy. The A-side is all about “Accelerator” - a hyperventilating peak time whomper of the highest calibre. Rudolf C steps in for remix duties and morphs the title track into a hypnotic blinder. On side B “Exaltic” is a trademark DJ Life genre- hopping hybrid burner. The closing number “Glycol” fuses electro with IDM overtones, a real hidden gem.

Premiere | DJ Life - Exaltic (ECR009)

Right of left? Neither direction looked particularly inviting, but they had to pick one. Indecisiveness always reared its head here, so they'd leave it up to chance again; a toss of a coin and then a flick of the indicator. Routine and ritual had once ruled their every day, so now spontaneity dictated everything. They didn't know where they were headed but it was guaranteed it would better than where they'd started.

Kalahari Oyster Cult's next outing is something of a special one for the Amsterdam-based label. Across four tracks, they compile the works UK composer and producer Dominic Glynn, under his various guises: one track as Luke Warmwater, one from his Fluid moniker and the other two as Syzygy, the duo he formed with fellow producer Justin McKay. While two of the tracks were originally released via Glynn's own No Bones Records back in the 90s, the other two are getting their first road test on 'The Tri-Phase' EP, which is a window into his evolution as a producer.

PREMIERE: Luke Warmwater - And It's Wonderful [Kalahari Oyster Cult]

New friends from Belgrade - Cosmic G and Laars with a collaboration novella «Trancia», Maksim Polivanov from Motorama under the moniker Neporyadok and his «Jewel Box» and one of the most productive musicians in St. Petersburg — Rambal Cochet, also known as Volta Cab. FINA Records co-owner — Corbi, interesting duo who released their first vinyl on Gated Recordings this year — not even noticed, and the last but not the least is superb selector from Kazan, Tatarstan — Enfant.

Resurfacing with their anticipated second iteration in a few months time, newly-launched Amsterdam platform One Eye Witness turns in a versatile second VA featuring the many flavoured likes of Robert Dietz, Z@p, Kasper Marott and New Members. Showcasing the label’s tireless search for new horizons and intrinsic lack of musical ideology, this new EP highlights talents whose shared ambition is to write the future of club music.
Our pick up here is Danish producer Kasper Marott with the swirling 'Bleep', cutting a path of doped-up, funky exhilaration across the dance floor. Drawing in a raging pool of acid and 8-bit tropes, Marott boasts unmatched skills when it comes to harnessing hella hectic solar-powered grooves.

All (label, artist and distribution) proceeds of this record will go to UNHCR, The UN Refugee Agencys' emergency interventions in Ukraine. Your support can help ensure that Ukrainians forced to flee their homes are sheltered and safe.

Third and closing chapter of the Oyster Tribe series, the revised single edition of Brent Lewis ‘1739’ oozes a mix of breezy outback dreamtime, red earth funk and sun-baked drum virtuosity. Originally issued in 2004 as part of his self-released ‘Drumsex’ album, Lewis’ mystique-imbued tune sculpts a tripped-out hybrid jam out of spoon percs and folk-infused broken beat; and who better than OZ home-boys FIO and Fantastic Man to add their masters' spin to that totemic chugger.

Whilst FIO cranks the BPMs a notch further and beefs up the bass to turn the OG mix into a serious contender for countryside banger of the year, Fantastic Man plays havoc with the whole of Lewis track’s DNA sequence, slicing, dicing and re-hashing its bits and bobs over and over again to form a Southerner variant of the Frankenstein creature, all sight set on busting dancefloors by the dozen.

Label: Kalahari Oyster Cult

Cat. Number: OYSTER43
EP Title: Voyria
Release Date: December 15th, 2022

Expanding on the blueprint of previous releases, Trieste-born, London-based producer Sohrab is the Kalahari clan’s latest inductee. OYSTER43 is a distillation of the Italian producer’s stylistic scope in its purest form; impeccably crafted dance music with a healthy dose of prog.

Running deep with this one. Smartly refined constructions primed for meditative club use, the first four tracks are rendered in pristine detail. From the widescreen and tunnelling to straight-up utopian, there’s a life-affirming vitality like only the most quintessential '90s prog-house can achieve.
