Wicked, straight into a classic break!! Takes me back to my yourh 20 years ago🤩🤪🥳😝😜😍🥰🤩

Label founder Holly Lester pools together a selection of her favourite artists from across the globe to form the first volume in the Duality Trax Visions compilation series. Bouncing from the U.S to Europe, the VA travels through a multitude of moods and genres across seven tracks - including acid tinged electro from New York, breaks infused garage from Chicago, rave-fuelled house music from Belgium and a pulsating trance-inspired club track from Estonia. 

Today we bring you the first listen of 'Umwaya', a dreamy breakbeat number that beautifully rounds off the compilation from Belfast hustler Optmst.  

Keen to reflect the core ethos of the label, the compilation series name serves as a nod towards her ideals of a more equalised future in electronic music - something which is fittingly demonstrated throughout this stellar lineup. 100% of compilation profits will be donated to Doctors Without Borders, who provide medical care to casualties of war in Gaza, Syria, Yemen and much more. The organisation has also worked tirelessly to provide Covid-19 related aid to countries hit the hardest throughout the pandemic and are currently lobbying for a global waiver of patents on COVID-19 technologies.

Premiere: Optmst - Umwaya [Duality Trax]

DJ Seen - Lunar Pulse

On this occasion Soos and NetterSystem deliver us a five song EP full of mist and 90s vibes. From the beginning this work takes us back to a party set decades ago in which breakbeat, techno and the jungle converge generating a series of sensations that are extrapolated. Digital and analog elements are mixed in the same timeline that in the end they reach the same conclusion: move the body.

As the tracks progress, the haze and white noise fill the imaginary space of our mind. Elements of bands like Spiritualized and many vocal samples fill the atmosphere throughout the tracks creating a well-being and at the same time an explosion of energy that causes you to move your body.
On the other hand, it is worth noting the maturity and the way in which sounds are handled in this work. In some parts it feels like being in the lobby of a European hotel: melancholic sounds that take time to mature in a very short amount of time. It's super enriching to hear layers and layers of sound that fall perfectly into place. In some parts the same melancholy takes us back to that time when the city of Leeds and Nightmares on Wax dominated the slopes. On the other hand, Latin America feels very present in the core of this EP.
Without a doubt, a work full of surprises and sounds that are not easily found.

"Nothing to see here, just another remix package squeezing extra mileage out of rinsed out tunes...

Wait a minute, that's actually not the case!?!?

Introducing an insane collection of complete re-imaginings of some of the biggest tunes from our very first release: Ghettoraid Vol.1. No straight edits on this one, it's all high-newtrition, juicy fresh content! From the mirror-sheen, clinical electro of Mike Starr's J@net rework, to the rave fave that is Rory Kelly's Big Mama RMX of The Past, to URTE's hands-in-the-air breaks version of Could It Be, this release has something for everyone who likes it fast, funky and "auf die Fresse".

Also available on a limited edition USB Stick, which will be the final in our series of engraved thumbdrives. For those who have been asking us to reissue the Ghettoraid Vol. 1 USB, this is your chance to get what you need as we have included all the tracks from the original release with the stick in addition to the new remixes and some spicy bonus content of course.

Big up to all the artists for their contributions <3"

OCB ─ Acid Test [CSV12]

Craigy! - "Little Lion Sound"  22_10_25 MP3.mp3

For this second opus, we continue our momentum and we're offering a various artists composed of 4 tracks.

The EP opens on the track " Prendre l'Air " by Vitess. We find the signature of the young producer with a neat and precise production, all enhanced by a millimetric breakbeat and an airy atmosphere, backed by an acid lead.The second track is produced by Pépé Elle who offers here a one-way ticket to England with his UKG infused "Carbon Dance" track. We find all the markers of the style, from syncopated rhythmics to powerful wobble bass. Perfect to turn a club upside down on any circumstance.

The Italians from MDC open the B side with the track Bouncing. The atmosphere gets darker and sweatier. We find grimmy vocals, a heady and efficient acid bassline. The Ep closes on the track The Resistance by Wilt. We continue to evolve in darker atmospheres with a tension that is created throughout the track without ever failing, all supported by a powerful breakbeat that will leave no one intact.

PREMIERE: Wilt - The Resistance [Chat Noir Records]

Legs dangling off the hill, they sat in silence taking in their surroundings. From up here you could see the entire city below; the glow of hundreds of cars moving through the streets and the huge skyscrapers that seemed to stretch far beyond the heavens. She'd never taken another person up here, it was her special place where she came to escape everything. But he seemed different to everyone else; she wanted to let him on her secret.

Moscow's ИДА (IDA) return for another instalment of breakbeats and wonky dance floor cuts, this time from Russian producer Moonoton. Alongside two original cuts that bring a blend of breaks, voodoo vocal samples and Italo synths, the release is backed up by two remixes from Facets and St Petersburg-based producer Maruwa, who adds her signature touch, balancing heavy breaks with dreamy, celestial atmospheres.

PREMIERE: Moonoton - Max Bleep (Maruwa Remix) [ИДА]
