Heady nights spent gyrating under flashing lights to pulsing rhythms, writhing freely as the sweat forced your hair to stick firmly to your forehead. These were all but memories now; the distant dream of clubland was a blur, a nostalgic trip that circled the mind but couldn't touch down in reality. But their imaginations kept them going until that first dance back because it would be one to remember for years to come.

After a brief intermission from releasing records to share Ece Özel's 'Expansion of Change' mix cassette into the world, Berlin's Warning are heating things up again with a new VA bringing together established and mysterious producers, forming the "North Rhine-Westphalia Trance Alliance". That probably gives you a clue to the rave-imbued sonics you can expect across the release, with trance, tribal, breakbeat and electro cuts from Phaser Boys, Chaos Milieu, DJ-Ungel and Zonza Grind — heed the label's warning (pun intended): they are "not responsible for any fire damage in your ear canals".

PREMIERE: Phaser Boys - Bialetti Break [Warning]

The first release from the recently launched Organic Signs label operated from Barcelona and Madrid, with Jan Swam as Label Manager.

This is a reissue originally released in 1998, by an artist who knew how to go beyond the sounds of the golden age of rave, to reach a unique style. Kaya Project, Shakta, Somaton or Hibernation are some of the akas that Seb Taylor has used throughout his career to leave us an unprecedented musical legacy. 

Four tracks that go from tance, DnB, trip-hop and breakbeat. Telepresence has a controlled rolling bass, excellent use of breakbeats and chugging flanged riffs. Pure psychedelic trance vibes. Continues with the drop in bpms of The Improvable Voyage, along with an original trip hop sounds with flanged riffs (again). We turn to side B1 to meet Soma Junkie, a track with a psychedelic breakbeatness lines with very creative drum fills; and we finish with Dr Sembei, a mix between psychedelia and drum and bass, to leave a good taste in your mouth.

PBR Streetgang return to their home imprint KURTZ to deliver their latest EP ‘Sendeturm’, accompanied by a remix from Paranoid London’s Johnny Aux.

Long-standing members of the house and disco landscape with releases via the likes of Skint, Crosstown Rebels and Futureboogie amongst many, Bonar Bradberry and Tom Thorpe, aka PBR Streetgang, continue to evolve and impress as one of the most consistent and diverse duos on the scene. Holding down residencies at the likes of Pikes in Ibiza, whilst making stand-out appearances at the likes of Glastonbury, Printworks and Love International – a festival which holds a special place within this latest EP – the duo launched their vinyl-focused KURTZ imprint in 2019 in impressive style, gaining support from the likes of DJ Harvey, Bicep, Soul Clap, and the late great Andrew Weatherall. Following a brief hiatus, the duo now return to home turf with possibly the strongest release on the label to date as they unveil their ‘Senderturm’ EP, welcoming Paranoid London member and electro-favourite Johnny Aux on remix duties.

Opening cut ‘Zoot Module’ welcomes a moody, low-slung slab of electro with haunting riffs and eerie synth lines which hold your sonic gaze front and centre, whilst title production ‘Sendeturm’, named after the lookout tower above the Love International site, takes listeners on a dreamy beat-less ride through melancholic tones and showcases an ode to a summer lost in place of beauty.

On the flip, Johnny Aux’s interpretation of ‘Zoot Module’ welcomes his signature rough and raw dirtbox sound which buries its way under your skin to reveal a pacey, true body mover, before closing proceedings via the blissful and rich ‘Thru The Shutters’ – a production imagined as the final track in the early hours of a Sunday morning dancefloor and a hypnotic closer that shapes up proceedings in emphatic fashion.
