The undisputed Irish prog master Dylan Forbes steps up with an idiomatic release of club-orientated house tracks marbled to perfection for Haŵs' 14th release.

Sitting beneath swathes of euphoric synth lines, acidic iterations and probing basslines, 'Mind Expander' is a record formed by collective ideals from the solitary walls of Dylan's lockdown studio back in 2020.

The realms of your augmented consciousness are waiting for you inside our digital mind expander... enter, if you dare.

"Reality exists in the human mind, and nowhere else."

Times are unprecedented. We all have a basic understanding of the history of our planet, but now we are truly living in one of the darkest periods wherein we cannot see a clear path out. As an individual it often seems dishearteningly difficult to help aid in humanitarian efforts, but as we stand with Ukraine and understand the importance of assisting them in any way possible, we've decided to do our part by putting together a digital compilation entitled ‘Club Unity’.

It contains a diverse feast of artists that inspire us, and tracks that make you feel. Signature Haŵs vibrations touching on prog, trance and even reaching the realms of the jungle. But most importantly, all proceeds will go to the incredible platform 'WithUkraine', which consolidates international efforts in raising funds to provide humanitarian support to Ukraine and its people. 

As humans and music obsessives we stand in solidarity with life and not with those who are determined to irreparably damage the fragile fabric of humanity.

Forever grateful for all of your support and we send our love out to those affected. Huge thank you to all artists involved in the making of this compilation.

Haŵs 💛

On Rotation returns with the second instalment of its Genetic Memories V/A series, showcasing the diversity of the label’s sound through 4 floor-focused cuts from a spectrum of global talent.

Fresh from dropping an EP with our good friends space:lab, Rambal Cochet delivers a mind-melting A1 to start things off. Deep, tasteful and making full use of his trademark sound design, “Meteora” is one for the witching hour! 

Bolam steps up next with the party-starting “Dream Machine”. Colourful synths sit atop driving breaks, with the peak-time energy dialled up to 11. 

Flipping the record reveals a darker, hazier sound. Moisk’s “GooSE Attack” is reminiscent of long nights (and mornings, and afternoons) in the smoky clubs of Berlin and Amsterdam, while the dark, rolling tech house of “X-Stream” by Aussie heroes Primitive Needs is pure afters’ fodder - a real B2 killer for those who know.

On Rotation is a Leeds-based event & mix series turned label, with 6 genre-defining releases featuring scene stalwarts such as Adam Pits, Solar Suite, Anderson, Roza Terenzi and Hybrid Man, Jamie Leather & more.

The world was still spinning somehow. The people still danced.

Everyone was tired, the same stories and the same false truths being relayed again and again so that the narrative remained upheld.

Perhaps it was time to open our minds – to see beyond the repetition and seek new meanings. For they are out there, somewhere in the great beyond.

This has always been about maintenance when it should be about development.

Route 8 is invited to remix Mystigrix on a new two track EP – a club ready affair with deep pads, hot skipping house music and a playful sensibility.
