Dalston Superstore resident @j_aria makes their debut on @adonisadonisadonis, marking the second release on the London queer party's in-house label.

Blistering synth stabs dither between rolling kicks and glistening hats are paired with a commanding vocal sample that declares: "pussy hot when I'm feeling real cunty" – creating a track that is effortlessly evocative of the smoky, late-morning sublimity of Adonis' dancefloor.

Indian musician and activist @kissnuka makes her debut on Jamz Supernova's @futurebounce imprint, with "electro-pop experiment" and mystical four-tracker, 'Witches Brew'

On track 'Night of the Blood Moon' she says: "The astrological appearance of the blood moon has been known to cause chaos. This time has been feared by many because it brings wounds, trauma, and toxicity to the surface. And yet, it is only when we recognize these elements in our lives can we deal with and work on them, to resolve and move forward. I wanted to bring a sense of danger to this track, which comes through the growl and grit of the bass."

Brussels' contemporary techno specialist @phara-6 gears up for his sixth release on his Phaaar imprint: 'How High Can Pigeons Fly'; a dithering expedition through breakneck techno, cavernous EBM and spine-tingling electro. 

'Beetham Tower' sees the FUSE resident ply a decadent myriad of percussion across a mind-bending bassline, with its title referencing Manchester's 47-storey skyscraper — a futuristic-yet-dystopian structure that can be seen from all vantage points across the city.

« Luna » is a catchy and melodic synth pop/euro disco track produced by Toulouse-based artist Alban and appears to be his second record. It was released as a 7-inch in 1987 and became sought after. We edited, extended and remastered the instrumental version here. This one is an assumed guilty pleasure we dig a lot and really wanted to share with you!

Mastered by Antoine Dautruche

'The multi-faceted and multi-talented Alberto Melloni returns once more to Bordello A Parigi to unveil his musical multi-verse. “Lago Lungo”, the title piece, sets the tone for the quartet of tracks. Steady kicks thud next fizzing hi-hats as a rich and full-bodied piano melody takes hold, Melloni’s instrumentation creating sheer peaks and creamy amber plains. “Promised Land” offers a different audio topography. Key stabs are bolstered by incising beats as a late-night italo infused romp undulates from speaker cones. Underscoring the EP are influences from both disco and house, sun-kissed chords countered by textured percussion. These twin inspirations combine in the groove laden “Paradise Pie”. Clean notes are refracted in neon, undercurrents of acid lurking just below the vibrating hardwood floor. The mirrorball takes the limelight for the finale. Breathy, smokey vocals orbit funk dipped lines of “Only You”, warbling vocoders dancing under the glittering beams to the close.'

Following up two extended players in 2020 and 2022, Berlin-based vocalist dvdv reunites with Polish sound alchemist Poly Armour to issue their debut collaborative album 'STARVVING.'..Our pick, ‘Chronic’, unravels as a haunting symphony of siren-like laments. Starting with Burial-esque, glitchy arpeggios that pulse like short-circuiting neon light, the track expands into cavernous soundscapes. It seamlessly marries spectral dark ambient hues with disassembled club rhythms and eerie vocals. A dazzling labyrinth of textures, ‘Chronic’ immerses the listener in a deep, sensory overload.

Chronic

dvdv - Chronic [Self-released]

It had been ever so lonely out there, deep in the darkness of outer space. There were tall tales which he might be able to one day relive and reconcile but those were not to be told now. Those were to be kept firmly secret, locked away in the confines of his mind. For he had returned but what was out there must not.

Down here everything was normal. Life was normal. The people were normal.

Every day was just the same. Not like out there...

Occasionally he'd see flickers and flashes of the wild, alien like faces he'd left behind amidst the stars. Had they ever been real?

Returning was bittersweet.

Innate Editions are set to breathe life into a rare gem, a lost classic if you will. They are set to revive Connective Zone's 'Palm Palm', a millennium-era cult classic and Ben UFO favourite. Intelligent dance music, at its very very best.

FIRE02 signals a new year and with it the start of a busy release schedule. For the 2nd edition in the series, DJ Firetower brings a spacey tech sound with a tight drum groove and infectious percussions. The ever evolving synths bring layers of depth to the track, while voices are fading in and out, speaking a non-existent language, and waving the flag of a fictitious land far away.

Besides the original, a remix by the infamous Thee J Johanz lifts this EP to a new height: 
"Imagine you are dancing on the beach in Anjuna. The year is 1991 and you just want to get higher than the palm trees surrounding. Dancing with other space and time travelers who just want to get away from it all, on a full moon night. Transcending to meet your new self in a faraway place."

Weaving and winding it moved through the jungle with devilish pace.

Yet to the naked eye you might never know that it was slipping beneath the surface. On the ground and in the rivers the basilisk was king – a scaly creature with a pointed tongue. It’s venomous power was enough to floor even the heartiest of prey.

As the sun beat down upon this desolate place it remained anonymous, almost invisible.

For only a handful of people had ever seen the basilisk, some even believed it to be a myth. However, the reason so few had caught a glimpse of this magnificent beast was because once you had you weren’t likely to be left behind to tell the tale…

High energy material on Hardline. Bouncy and energetic sounds which will echo and cause damage in the club – Prizefight & Trustee are on to a winner.

PREMIERE: Prizefight & Trustee - Basilisk [Hardline]

HOMAGE returns for their fourth release with the debut EP from Irish playboy KETTAMA. The Galway native is quickly becoming Ireland's most exciting electronic music name, known for his hard-hitting tracks laced with old school samples and classic rave sounds. The EP's highly anticipated single, "B O D Y," is making waves online thanks to Mall Grab givin' it the heavy rinse cycle, most recently to a huge crowd at Lost & Found Festival during a b2b with Mella Dee and Denis Sulta!

The EP's B-side is equally as big, housing this premiere's 'KILT' - an absolute peak-hour rave weapon, which is most definetely riding comando under there. KETTAMA's Bucklyn Bridge EP is one hell of a debut, and what better home for it than HOMAGE, the New York City label voted most likely to sustain themselves on bodega sandwiches.
