Reptant 'Polygrams' [Kalahari Oyster Cult]

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.

PREMIERE: Mystigrix - Open Your Mind (Route 8 Woke Remix) [FLIRT Records]

Illegal, filthy basslines off this rare acid techno record that's been making noise in the digging community. Released in 1997 on the legendary German techno label, Le Petit Prince, and produced by Andreas Krüger, 'Essig' has been gaining traction after being featured in ANNYROCK & E.LINA's HÖR set in June 2024.

Asphalt DJ returns to Oddysee with another intoxicating 4-track formula, titled “Double O”. Operating on a solo tip this time around, the Berlin-based producer further expands his sonic palette and offers a versatile collection of steamy club workouts geared towards various stages of dancefloor functionality. The record seamlessly touches on seductive after-hours bounce, slices of late nite propulsion and flawless rhythmic explorations, while keeping firm footing in the 90 and 00’s sound spectrum.

With an eye on the ongoing terror inflicted upon the Palestinian people, we (artist & label) decided to donate all proceeds from this release to Save The Children - Gaza and West Bank Emergency.

A delicate split in the molecular tide, Equinox is where structures soften.
Jake Tidd sculpts four progressive studies in tension and release, tracing the subtle choreography of particles suspended mid-air. Like drifting ions in a field without gravity, each track orbits around its own magnetic core, pulsing, phasing, gently colliding.
At the centre, neutrons burn slow and dense, a compressed charge of rhythm and emotion folding inwards. The surrounding cuts ripple outward like energy dispersing across a vacuum, forming patterns too precise to be accidental, too fluid to be fixed.
There’s a sense of calibration here. Feel the way each groove is engineered to like a controlled experiment in trance induction, a molecular ritual for systems in flux.
