You can feel a pump of excitement. Energy rushes through your vascular muscles. You start to walk faster. You meet up to catch some Tracers. What are those? I don’t know. But I know that I like what I feel. Slow trickles and drops of mind-altering synths are topped with an introduction to what’s to come. Easy does it. 

It’s stormy out. Violent storms. The dictionary calls it a Tempest. But it feels alright. We’re in a good space, spaced out and not in each other’s space. Still getting ready for that very moment. It’s like those dreams where you fall and you fall and then you slowly drift onto a pillow of comfort. Yes, that’s what I feel. 

As we gently rest in the soft hard reality, It Keeps On Raining. But rain is good for nature and the soul is cleansed with inspirational triggers. We know what’s next. After party vibes before the party begins. That’s because there’s never an in between. It’s all part of this same program. 

You finally enter the new place in town. It’s called Post Nature. Immediate response. Speedy lights and smoke machines. Sensors on the ground. Darkened walls. You look left and right and give a nod of appreciation. They feel what you feel and I feel what I haven’t felt in a while. Let’s jump in this together. 

In the zone you realize reality is as real as it gets. What’s The Trouble, Bubble? Nothing, nothing at all. We’re proud of this particular moment, of this specific movement, of this very day and age. It has come, and we saw it coming all along.

PREMIERE : Maroki & Axefield - Ur Moving Kinda Sad

Originally from South Africa, Lean As Troy has been involved in the music scene for nearly a decade. With prior releases under his belt for labels such as Klinik Room, Egothermia, Smiley Fingers and his own Potti Records label, the London based producer serves up three esoteric tracks on Dense & Pika’s Kneaded Pains imprint.

A trio of blissful techno cuts can be found on the ‘Sicak’ EP, as Lean As Troy functions some superbly hypnotising grooves and transcendental melodies across all three cuts.

PREMIERE: Lean As Troy - Systems Of Control (Kneaded Pains)

The restaurant was full, brimming with the creme de la creme of society - anyone who was anyone could be found lurking in this dimly lit establishment. Amongst the clusters of suited up business men and their trophy wives, she propped herself at the bar, waiting anxiously to meet the woman who could potentially change her life. If all went well, she'd be rubbing shoulders with this clientele regularly, dressed in the most designer of garments, sipping on the most expensive of champagnes. It's what she'd always wanted, a real in to the high society, but really she knew that, underneath the facade, she'd still always feel like an outsider. 

Amsterdam's Flippen Disks are launching a brand new offshoot, Flippen Bits. In contrast to the main label which highlights artists exploring borderless music that can be listened to at home or played on the dance floor, the sub-label will focus more on functional club music, starting with an EP from Welsh-born, Amsterdam-based producer Maroki. Best served late at night, the future-facing tracks that make up Coldred are full of bass weight and dense percussion, layered over frenetic breakbeats.

Coldred EP

PREMIERE: Maroki - Coldred [Flippen Bits]

"Flippen Bits is the new offshoot from the Amsterdam based Flippen Disks label ran by Monty DJ. While the main imprint sets out to find its own space in between genres to move dance floors while staying non-functional enough for home listening pleasure, this new sub has a more functional approach. Wild and energetic, bass heavy bits for the more playful DJ's in the late nights.

First up is Marok (@letsgomaroki), the Wales raised and Amsterdam based producer, known for recent releases on E-Beamz and Shall Not Fade offshoot Lost Palms, comes in strong with four excellent futuristic bass hybrids. It also contains two MXC reworks created together with Nottingham's @coraliescoob

Coldred EP is a wild ride, it takes you from the heavy percussion title-track Coldred to the acidic stuttering breakbeats of Nightshop On The Way. The MXC version adds a true sub-heavy steppers vibe to the original where they flip TFMPP into a mesmerizing broken beat affair fit for the wormhole. With early support from DJ's like Madam X and mad miran it's an exciting new chapter in the Flippen Disks catalog with loads more lined up for the next year."
