The room was empty yet still the music bellowed loudly and echoed. Stood over by the front left stack he began to sway and move in time with the beat of the drum which throbbed and reverberated inside the large bass bins. Soon the room would begin to fill with people who listened and loved it all as much as he did, yet he was not here for them. The only person he came here for was himself, to feel the noise as it pulsed through the very core of what was left of him.

Some people would forget this night but not him. He remembered every single one, the empty rooms before and afterwards, the smiling faces and the songs which blared loud from the front left stack.

PBR Streetgang are remixed by Hardway Bros on a new EP for Kurtz, a groovy cosmic affair which leans heavily on the raw era of acid house which came before. This one is grounded in longstanding principles and lessons learnt on dancefloors over many years and you’d be wise to take heed and play it loud.

PREMIERE: PBR Streetgang - Front Left Stack (Hardway Bros Cosmic Interpolation)[Kurtz]

Epicure Records is psyched to present its 4th release.
An acid reference full of crazy modulations and psychedelic rhythms produced by new talented producer from Würzburg (DE), aka Dj Paradiso.

Keep an eye out, this guy is going to burn the worldwide dancefloors...

The titular track, Pulse, sets the stage with mad frequencies and acid touches. Then the intensity grows with pads and you will find a perfect balance between the dancefloor appeal and a hypnotic listening transferring you into a trance state of mind.

Second track, Night Bass, is a deep, and deliriously cosmic ride with Heavy waves of synths and Acid lines. But guess what ? This magician put into this psychedelic magic potion some 80’s vocal samples of «Fell the drive ». Huge Combo !

Epicurious from everywhere, let's take a ride all together !

"Water In The Moon" marks the highly anticipated album release by Dsum. Following his last album in 2022, Dsum unveils a 12-track opus meticulously crafted to explore the boundaries of electro sounds, oscillating between experimental ambient and Detroit electro. It represents perhaps his most musically rich endeavor to date.

To be released under his own label, Back Door, his fourth album is the culmination of years of introspective musical exploration, tracing its origins back to the lockdown period of 2020. A tribute to the genesis of electronic music, "Water In The Moon" pays homage to Dsum's electronic roots while pushing the boundaries of sonic innovation.

Drenched in analog warmth, the album boasts lush pads, expansive synths, and gritty 808 electro beats, crafting a mesmerizing mosaic of soundscapes that transport you to outer space. Every track showcases Dsum's production and electronic music expertise, with brief variations and instrumental snippets adding to a unified journey of auditory exploration.

Presented in two EP releases, The "Gravity Loss EP" and "Double Distance EP" serve as the album's twin pillars, each offering a unique sonic experience that brings "Water In The Moon" to life. Set to be released on both vinyl and digital platforms, the wax version of the album unveils ten tracks across two 12" records in May and June, followed by the full digital album release featuring all twelve songs in their original intended order, complete with exclusive additions.
