'Strap on your boots for a hedonistic blast into the galactic rave systems of Abdul Raeva. The Estonian pairing fuses the cosmic trajectories of Gestalt boss Steffan Todorović and the hard-edged, rapturous style of DJ Mannekeen. Together, their sound ellipses a blitz of sonic electro that's sourced with 90's inspiration but splatted with a futuristic mindset. The 'Protogen EP's is deployed by the Finnish heads at Echocentric recs, a label that oozes colour and eclectic vibrancy, since their debut they've garnered a rousing cast of forward-thinking talent that includes the likes of DJ Life, Solar Suite, Tom Place and Kayroy. It's a fitting HQ for the AR noise and all four tracks of ECR013 are time-travelling warpers that are ready to shatter your celestial bass-bins.......... (Continue Reading Below)

Protogen EP (ECR013)

PREMIERE: A2 - Abdul Raeva - Acidflex [ECR013]

The alarm clock buzzed loudly for the fifth time, as usual the snooze button had been exhausted for as long as she could get away with it. She rubbed the sleep from her eyes, squinting in the morning light that bathed her room. A familiar feeling of dread washed over her; one that didn’t seem to hit her on any other day of the week. The start of the week was always like this - uneventful and unproductive, a time for wallowing and indulging… all in all, just another average Monday.

Helsinki imprint Echocentric and Leipzig’s R.A.N.D. are joining forces for their next release, a dose of rhythmic proggy goodness from Lithuania-based producer Pletnev. Both labels know their onions - between them they’ve put out plenty of dance floor gems over the last few years from the likes of Abdul Raeva, DJ Life, Reflex Blue and Gnork. With And You Never Come Back, it’s more of the same: over four tracks Pletnev serves up squelchy, hypnotic breaks and trance-inspired rhythms, all primed and ready to bless club sound systems the world over.

And You Never Come Back EP (RMECR001)

PREMIERE: Pletnev - Average Monday [Echocentric/R.A.N.D.]

The debut solo release from the label head is a killer mix of acid lines, breaks, and electro, with a splash of experimental twists and a dash of Middle Eastern vibes. It’s got that raw, underground energy—classic dancefloor sounds flipped with unexpected textures and offbeat elements. The whole thing feels eclectic but keeps it tight, delivering a vibe that’s both groovy and unpredictable.
