As a little extra to celebrate our 10-year anniversary, Betonkust made a 90s house remix of Hit or Miss.The original track by indie pop singer Gisèle features the iconic KORG M1 piano – practically begging for a dancefloor rework. It’s been 10 years since 9300 Records kicked things off with Innershades ' What About Us EP – a four-track release made entirely with the same KORG M1 synthesizer.This remix brings things full circle.

Track available via Bandcamp and Beatport.

OHM015 - VARIOUS ARTISTS - OHM SERIES #15

It’s been some time since we last featured a back-to-back set in our beloved mix series, and episode 167 comes to make up for it. Recorded live earlier this year at Venue MOT during a fundraiser for Medical Aid for Palestinians, the night brought Will Hofbauer and Zaltsman together on the decks, weaving a seamless journey of deep grooves, vibrant rhythms, and euphoric energy. This edition perfectly captures the spirit of the event - a celebration of music, solidarity, and community united for a meaningful cause.

The fifth installment of our mix series comes from none other than our good friend of the label SpunOff, delivering a mix perfectly capturing the golden haze of the summer season. 

“This summer, the sun-drenched dancefloors left behind traces of warmth, freedom, and energy that I don’t want to let fade with the new season.

I invite you to dive into my latest live hybrid set on Basement Beats, crafted as a sonic journey to help us carry that light a little longer.

 Let’s keep the sun in our hearts and the magic of turquoise waters in our minds, even as the days grow shorter.” - SpunOff

SpunOff Basement Beats Mix [BBM005]

Under a former alias, The Liquid Dude has long been a fixture in the electronic scene, collaborating with artists such as Emanuel Satie, Leif, and Lehar, among others. He has played all over the world, including at Detroit's legendary TV Lounge, and also scores for film. His work has won international awards such as Best Film at the 22nd Wildlife Vaasa Film Festival in Finland and Best Documentary at the 5th MADRIFF. He has directed independent films, music videos, commercials, and creative fashion and art photoshoot sessions, and blends visual and musical storytelling with a distinct artistic vision

After a 12-year hiatus from the DJ circuit, he's back with fresh energy and perspective for this new album and an immersive event series, Into the Hole. Early bookings at high-profile venues like Eden in Ibiza have started this new chapter with a bang, and this new album is only set to take him to new levels once more. It arrives on the newly launched Liquid Freaks label, which, since 2023, has been an event series run by a highly experienced group keen to revive the raw spirit of the early warehouse scene.

Says the artist, "What you'll hear isn't nostalgia, it's a disassembled memory rebuilt from frequencies and mild paranoia. It's the echo of someone who once lived inside the scene, then slipped out quietly when it stopped making sense. Not a tribute, a confrontation. A cracked mirror held up to a culture that once moved bodies and minds."

Opener 'Skip This' begins with atmospheric synth modulation, textured smears, and curious melodies before 'Nipponacidfunk' delivers a twisted house workout with funky drumming and screwy 303s laced with Japanese spoken words. The singular sounds continue on the pressurised and winky acid madness of 'Shakyshaky', while 'Botox Love' is an oﬀ-grid rhythm with unhinged synths and flaming breakbeats, warped vocals and acid flashes that take you to the heart of a strobe-lit warehouse. 'Freaking Freaks' brings old school piano energy to new school club rhythms and 'Digital Dopamine' is tripped out afterparty electro with aliens controlling the machines. There is a more introverted feel to the plunging bass and melancholic chords of 'Indigestion' before closer 'The Old Days' pairs warm summer synths with spoken word musings and elastic rhythms.

The Liquid Dude's ‘Can I Music?’ debuts on Liquid Freaks on September 5, 2025.

"Musique Pour Enfiler Des Perles" is the third EP by Poison Gauchiste, aka Eric Labbé, following "Musique Pour Faire Différentes Choses" and "Musique Pour Monter En Haut". It is the result of a slow maturation process, shaped by summer idleness and long winter evenings over the past two years. The EP features five compositions that, as always, blend quirky influences with distinctly personal oddities.

Caution: several of these tracks contain rhythms that might inspire dancing — though it’s unclear whether listeners will actually follow through, given the spells of languor and melancholy that occasionally drift onto the dancefloor...

MADTEO for NEGATION OF NEGATION  @ Rabbit Hole ,  TAIPEI Aug 17th 2024 (1st 2hrs)

There was much to see and much to do beneath the covered streets, the tarpaulin which hung from atop the towering buildings cast a shadow down upon the densely packed close. This was Owino market and the price was right for whatever and whichever wonder you chose to buy upon that fine day. The air was close and the tiny alleyways packed with the hustle and bustle of people moving between market stalls - the heat was stale under the tightly packed coveralls and inside was all the trinkets and treats you might ever desire. 

Kawuku Sound is the collaborative project of two electronic producers Contours and Cervo who have worked alongside Ugandan percussion troupe Fonkodelis Arkestra. They have release a six track EP with a blend of influences.

PREMIERE: Kawuku  Sound - Owino Market [Banana Hill]

There was very little to be seen out here but for rocks and sand. The dust blew abruptly in great clouds across the open expanse under the dense breeze of the midsummer wind. It was hot and heavy, making the eyes sting and a clenched face a must. The glowing pink sky offered the slight promise of rain and a cool release at some point in the near future but for now it was up to them to ride out the mist in all the glory of the Eastern world. It was going to be a long afternoon...

Terr is an artist moving from strength to strength - following releases on the likes of Permanent Vacation she now appears on Clash Lion with a sprawling assortment of electronics.

Dust

PREMIERE: Terr - Dust (Terr Raw Electro Mix) [Clash Lion]

The people in the room began to dance, worries were left outside on the pavement and would not be collected until sometime tomorrow morning. All love within this desparate place was to be found amidst the room, what was external was to be forgotten and ignored for the time being. He had come here to dance with freedom and self preservation. This was his night upon the floor and the rest of society could give a damn how he moved to and fro with a swing in his step. 

Ryan Berkeley is set to release an inspired new EP on Houses In Motion in what will be the fifth outing on the record label. A strong release spanning a breadth of genres and style - this one is a treat.

PREMIERE: Ryan Berkeley - All Love [Houses In Motion]

The sunlight was piercing through the blind as he lay softly upon the cushioned floor. Inside the apartment it was still dark and shadowy after the carnage of the night before. Opwning his eyes he looked around to observe the scene which had unfolded. Toppled tables and chairs lay scattered upon the floor like discarded toys whilst music still echoed on from the speaker sat promptly in the corner of the room. He let out a sigh and smiled, this was home. 

ONIPA is set to release a new afro inspiredEP on Mawimbi Records and Wormfood Records. Mr. Boom is on remix duties for this one.

PREMIERE: ONIPA - Open My Eyes (Mr. Boom Remix) [Mawimbi & Wormfood Records]

The earth rotated slowly day by day, the moon would appear only to be swept away by the dense blue sky of the morning and the radiant light. The sun had more power than we might ever imagine - to some it was a god, to others simply an incomprehensible object millions of miles away beyond reach. Heaven forbid the day we might find ourself within the touching distance of the great orb for we might burn helplessly to death - a little planet wiped out by fire, one with which we should never have played. 

Night Noise are set to release a new EP by Mantas & Vencla complete with an intriguing rework by the infamous Pete Herbert. Not one to take half measures his cut is inspired and strong.

PREMIERE: Mantas & Vencla - Sun (Pete Herbert Remix)[Night Noise]

As his eyes began to close he began to wonder whether or not he might wake to the warm glow of the morning once more or if he might be lost to the dense darkness which would overwhelm and conquer his senses for the time being. Victor's dream was humble and honest, refreshing yet haunting. There were magical creatures and wicked stories which lived within the far outer reaches of his mind, ideas which he had little control over which would seem to come from the abyss after hours. It was quiet now outside, nobody was around to disturb his rest, nothing but his own chaotic thoughts and nightmares. 

Peter Gordon is set to release his first full length album on Foom in three years. He delivers five abstract tracks with the same carefully crafted orchestration with which he has been associated and admired for many years. Gabe Gurnsey of Factory Floor features on drums throughout.
