The air was thick with smoke, it filled his every breath as he ran through the burning woodland. With each step he took he grew more tired and became further overcome with emotion and a sense of loss. This was Mech's pain, something which only he could carry as he looked back upon a place that he had once called home. There was little left for it now but for smouldering ruins and a burnt out life. The machines had finally won, swallowed it all up and left a flaming deluge in their wake. 

Mathis Ruffing is set to release a new EP on Berlin based label strictly strictly, a forward thinking outlet which draws upon abstract experimentation and design of the future. Forward thinking and fast paced, the release is as rough and rugged as they come.

Tangible, Elastic

PREMIERE: Mathis Ruffing - Mech's Pain [strictly strictly]

With our core team immersed in all aspects of dance music, we publish news, articles, and interviews covering the greatest in innovative, underground culture from across the globe. We offer regular, exclusive music and mixtapes from our favourite artists, and publish features shining a light on everything from the freshest new artists to the untold tales from rave history.

Alongside this we offer musings on film, books, life, and art, generating some context and controversy as an antidote to the reheated PR that clogs up the internet. Our office is fuelled by Tunnock’s Bars, cat memes, hangovers and a ridiculous, never ending love for our culture.

With love until the grave.
