Energy Fields is Gus Paterson’s vinyl debut. One of the brains behind Bokhari Records, this four tracker melts disco, italo and house into a creamy funk fondue. Staggered bleeps and crisp percussion introduce the title piece, samples echo as a squelching thick bassline drops. Countering the fudgey strings are sparkling synthlines, bold brassy analogue bursts tethering the track to the floor. Although tempos drop for “Emotive Feel,” the energy remains high. Robust keys are further fortified by blasts from vintage machines, a free flowing groove lifted into astral jazz. Sharp beats open the flip for “Cyborg Dateline.” Soon, Paterson’s melodic skill takes over. Layers of inspiration are held together by ambling notes. Echoes of cosmic and disco are adopted, a contemporary twist delivered through the complex intertwining of elements. Paterson takes us into the stratosphere for the finale. “Jetpack Joyride” maintains the rhythm of its predecessor, pouring on the funk through daring piano lines and rich strings of double bass. A trip into the beyond from this debutant.

The way the leaves moved in sync with the wind, the patterns in the clouds, the gentle hum of the world—it was all connected.

Neurodiversity, wasn’t about fitting in—it was about seeing the world in ways others might never imagine.

He watched as it all whizzed and whirred around him, lines and shapes made sense in a way words sometimes didn’t.

Where others saw chaos, he saw rhythm.

It was simply time to enjoy the dance.

Michael Reinboth releases a new track via Compost – a stellar electronica extravaganza which has us feeling all cosmic and free.

PLANET DUST PR: DONALD DUST BRINGS THE MUSCLE AND THE SINEW WITH HIS LATEST 12"

A Chicago-style collaboration with Buenos Aires' GALA, plus dub and beatapella mixes (only for Dee Jay)

Wrapping up the year with a long awaited follow-up to 2023's Nausea, ENTER PLANET DUST is proud to announce The Muscle and the Sinew 12".

EPD is going full 80s Chicago for label head DONALD DUST’s new collaboration with Argentina's expert slinger of records, knowledge-dropper of all things House, New Beat and Dark Disco, and increasingly decorated Dance record vocalist GALA.

The DJ, producer, co-owner of the FUSION DANCE label and party series, and member of ROMANCE LAYERS is fast establishing herself as a force of good AND a force of nature (and one to be reckoned with) in the international synth-dance club continuum project. 

Working together halfway across the globe, the two have crafted a compelling single touching on the early sounds of Chicago icons like Matt Warren and Razz, with a healthy dose of Euro-Disco and heartbreaking threnodies from the mouths and minds of both parties. Flip the record over for a devilish dub (complete with SFX, synths and satanic laughter) and a stomping beatapella to shake your speakers, courtesy of the ‘Wicked Dub’ and ‘Beat This’ mixes.

Tracklist:

A1 - The Muscle and the Sinew (vocals by Gala)
B1 - The Muscle and the Sinew (The Wicked Dub)
B2 - The Muscle and the Sinew (Beat This mix)

PREMIERE: Donald Dust - The Muscle and the Sinew (Vocals by Gala) [Enter Planet Dust]

Straight outta the fiord lands of southern Norway comes the new EP from Hydrous. We’ve come to a point where we no longer need to introduce the sound universe of Per Christian Berg to our ever-growing Navigare tribe, as he’s become a foundation for what we are and what we want to express. “Deep Techno”, “Psychedelia”, “Neo Trance” – call it whatever you like, what matters is that our brand of electronic dance music can assist your spirit to fly.

Simple, yet rich in detail; uniform, yet explorative; uplifting, yet with an unmistakable Nordic melancholia – Hydrous music continues to hypnotize and fascinate us at the Navigare HQ, and we’re happy to continuously receive the praise he deserves from around the globe from his past collaborations with us.

For this release you’ll notice a subtle gain in intensity in all three tracks. Although being far from peak time monsters, the aim here is undoubtedly to entrance a focused dancefloor, preferably while the sun is rising. Whether it’s the Eden-like atmosphere of “Cascade”, the introverted broken beats of “Infinite” or the meaty trance of “Pathos” that will guide the crowd through the morning session is only a matter of circumstances and taste.

Remix work is by none other than Buenos Aires based Forest On Stasys. Owner of the celebrated label Danza Nativa and a highly accomplished producer, stretching from tribal Ambient to dirty, mind-melting peak-time Techno, we knew we’d be in for a treat for this collaboration. Staying true to a Hydrous sound universe, while adding gentle tribal percussion and some über-psychedelic alien bleeps á la Eat Static, this track will blow minds on a starlit night out in the wild.
