10th digital release of Scotiish finest Invisible, Inc. comes courtesy of Budapest's Bal5000.

It's his second EP for the label, the first being the Bleu Infini EP back in 2017(although some stellar tracks of his did appear on the Lost Transmissions compilation which is getting a repress this year and the Invisible Family EP#3).

For those unfamiliar with him, Bal5000 was pretty big on the drum & bass circuit a decade or so ago (known simply as "Bal" back then) but more recently he's been exploring this kind of bass-heavy spaced house and slo-mo acid sound like you'll find here. Kind of reminiscent of I:Cube a little...but you'll find it definitely has its own distinct flavour.
Bal5000's music has been enjoyed and played by ALFOS, Daniele Baldelli, The Beat Broker and more. Here's what's been said about "Neutra" EP:
"Love the music" DJ Kaos [Jolly Jams / Rong]
"I like these very much" Sean Johnston [ALFOS / Hardway Bros.]
"Brilliant" Leri Ahel [Mutant Disco Radio Show]
"This is great! LOVING "Emporia" Thom Roland [Zillas On Acid]

PREMIERE | Bal5000 - Emporia [Invisible, Inc.] 2020

Not many people knew about the wonders of this underground party. It was, and always had been, a word of mouth situation, restricted to those who were non-judgmental and willing to let go of their inhibitions. This is the way it would always be: it ensured the space to be safe, sacred and untouched, and the partygoers to be faces who'd soon become friends and not remain strangers. 

For their next release, a digital two-tracker titled The Leisure Hive, NYC's Throne Of Blood link up three Philadelphian artists: Optimo and Les disques de la mort signees Zillas On Acid and Permanent Vacation and Mister Saturday Night alumni Alex Burkat. The three artists first met at Dave P's Making Time parties where the former duo have been resident DJs for years. It's this night that inspired the idea behind this new release: two "psychedelic dance floor jams" that are custom-made to soundtrack the frivolities at open-minded soirees like Making Time.

Strange Forces - This Universal Software Ocean (Fantastikoi Hxoi remix)

The darkness was ominous and thick, there was little to be seen but for the faint flickering glow of torches as the procession made its way slowly through the forest and into the fields beyond. Watching on from above, it were as if the gatherers were a glowing procession of tiny ants, illuminated orange and gold as they walked away from the foothills.

They would not be back. No, by the time the war was over they would be long gone. He on the other hand would be safe, locked here in his prism of power, away from the skirmishes and scraps, safe from the worrisome world of battle and strife.

He took a firm draw on his pipe and lit the fire. He would never be defeated.
 
Chilean producer Miraclis is set to release a new album on Secret Teachings. This next single acts as a further introduction to a promising musician and the label has done well to bring on board the prowess of Ivan Smagghe and Rupert Cross to remix proceedings.

Together they have collaborated to create mutant versions of a track called ‘Scienter’ – each version as weird, wonderful and haunting as the last.

Midnight Manoeuvres steps out of the shadows, scans the room and proceeds to melt minds and bodies with Pastime, a freakishly accomplished 4-tracker that sees the London-based artist carve out a new breaks inspired direction for himself.

An intrepid and meticulously realised effort, Pastime sees the scales perfectly balanced between retrofuturism and cinematic club pressure and marks out Midnight Manoeuvres as the perfect torchbearer to move Badlands forward.
