Moisk - Long Tail

Harald Björk – Walking Path Skudge Remix – KLN016 B2

A fresh breeze drifted through the trees, rustling the final remaining leaves that adorned the branches. Summer and autumn would soon exchange hands and the shades of the forest would turn from bright green hues to brown and orange. The animals prepared themselves to burrow away in winter, making their homes ready for the ensuing hibernation that would soon take hold. Their world would sleep until the seasons changed and the sun blazed down again...

A year on from their last release, an EP courtesy of Hems, locally-indebted label E2-E8 turn their attention back to new talent bubbling up in the East London Underground. Shelter is the work of Orphic, a duo made up of producers Kieran Jandu and Babak Faraji, who are exploring the depths of techno. Slick, elegant and crystal clear, the four tracks travel through deep, dubbed-out moments to peak-time offerings and vibrant, bubbling electronics, finished off with a remix from Bunker and Clone affiliate Marco Shuttle.

PREMIERE: Orphic - Macoubea [E2-E8]

@not-even-noticed , @rigsonrigson , @batenko, @djgrandcandy, @analog_uf0 and @nthrone(with Harry Dallan) rock up on Ganzfeld with six tracks of tech, prog, trance and steaming electro - straight from Candyland.

Mastered by Theo Banz.

Various - Six Hyperslaps From Candyland EP GZFLD010 [SNIPPETS]

yet is a slippery word in English. Amorphous, these three letters in different contexts can define contrast or emphasis, set a place in time, show an expectation that something will occur or, paradoxically, that it is likely to stop. 

It is this mercurial nature that makes yet the perfect title for Tresor's latest compilation: the label follows on from the more explorative sections of 2021's landmark Tresor 30 boxed set with a compilation, featuring 13 artists making music that resists easy definition. 

Every track hints at and borrows from the familiar yet none follow the expected path: halfway through Deserto, Nandele &amp; A-Tweed dramatically reveal a very different sonic landscape that was initially suggested; DJ Sotofett collaborates with Sri Lankan artist Kavadi with results that are unlike anything in the Norwegian producer's catalogue as yet. 

Further invention can be found as Jean Redondo's Hypersonic moves across spaces inhabited by digital hardcore and hyperpop before swerving off-road and into a futuristic hip-hop section; on No Longer Human, Ireen Amnes takes a different path at the crossroads melding hyperpop, trance, and sci-fi soundtrack atmospherics, Significant Other heads towards UK Bass and Dubstep, and France's Willis Anne skims by the outskirts of footwork with a piece that is almost completely uncategorisable.

Yet more sonic experimentation comes from E-Saggila, Nadia Struiwigh, NVST, Solid Blake, and Viikatory who offer unique takes on the well-established electro blueprint, while Ryan James Ford, and Nit. both find ways to blend elements normally found in ambient pieces with those heard on a dancefloor.

The feel of the compilation is yet again reflected in the enigmatic artwork by Malik Arbab, where shapes and colours suggest animals and plants but in a world that appears to be transient and constantly evolving.

Info: I am happy to present our first tape release by The Jaffa Kid as part of the brand new Digital Artefacts series.

The series is an ode to the sound of the 90s, from Electro, IDM and Jungle to further different experimental stuff and sounds. The choice of tape as format seemed fitting for the aesthetic of the series.

The first EP comes from UK based The Jaffa Kid (previously on 030303, Dischi Nottetempo, Gated Recordings and more) and is a solid mixture of Electro, Techno and beyond.

*PREMIERE* The Jaffa Kid - Lighter Than Air

“My Mind” dives straight into the raw, hypnotic essence of Berlin techno. A heavy, phat kick sets the foundation, driven by a relentless deep bass. Dark, industrial textures blend with eerie atmospheric layers, building constant tension. Breaks reveal fragmented, distorted vocal echoes — like a mind looping on itself — before plunging back into pure, pounding energy. Crafted for underground dancefloors, this track delivers an adrenaline rush that captures the gritty, mental spirit of Berlin nights.

📅 Release date: 15 October
