The waters were crystal clear and calm. The weather had been kind to them; what a perfect day to explore the ocean. Below the surface, a whole other world awaited them: schools of brightly coloured fish darted in their masses between the vibrant coral, kelp and anemones that dotted the seabed, while turtles effortlessly glided through the water around them. If only they could live here amongst the sea life they thought to themselves - things would be so much simpler. 

For their fourth outing, Birmingham-born, Bristol-based imprint space•lab are bringing Rambal Cochet into the fold. Perfectly placed for the label's wiggly groove-driven output, the Ukrainian producer - who also makes music under the alias Volta Cab - serves up four slices of psychedelic progressive trance. Laced with spaced-out atmospheres and propelled by rolling drum patterns and subaquatic acid lines, Galatians Syndrome is one for the heads down dancers.

PREMIERE: Rambal Cochet - Thrash to Treasure [space•lab]

For the latest premiere on Viscera, Yotam Russo produces a cosmic slammer to ignite the cosmos for IDA's latest compilation.

Qnete’s back in the building for a third X-Kalay release and it’s an anticipated return for the prominent purveyor of prog. Four diverse but coherently related tracks with pit stops in deep house and electro territory

We open proceedings with a dose of the lysergic sound that has become his trademark since debuting on the label in 2021. Evoking ritual and ceremony, ‘Going Short‘ commences with choral pads that beckon to the altar. A slo-mo exercise in dancefloor hypnosis with trace echoes of bleep.

Where ‘Wrapped’ takes a turn toward mellow, ‘Stepperals’, like its A1 counterpart, recalibrates trance tropes into something more chugging and restrained. Another example of Qnete smudging his third eye on a tunnelling, wormhole flex.

And finally, the Leipzig native signs off with a nod to the American Midwest. Opening cerebral gates in a way that recalls classic Detroit In Effect, closing track ‘Circuit Friends’ taps into the futurist utopia imagined by Detroit electro’s pioneers.

Tracklist: 

Going Short
Wrapped
Stepperals
Circuit Friend

PREMIERE: Qnete - Wrapped [X-Kalay]

Holly Lester’s Duality Trax imprint continues its mission to find balance within the music industry by bridging gender gaps and pushing the boundaries of contemporary club music. The next release sees the label's second VA come to fruition, focusing on six emerging and established artists that are all making their mark within their respective cities and beyond. 

Glasgow hero and resident of dance music institution Sub Club Stevie Cox opens things up on her first ever solo release, easing us gently in with a hypnotizing mesh of ethereal synths and dynamic drum programming, akin to the carefully constructed sets she has become known and loved for. Stones Taro, a pioneering force behind Kyoto's evolving electronic scene, brings his signature touch to ‘Iron Door’ and smoothly bridges the gap between UKG, breaks and house before rising Aussie producer DAWS serves a nostalgic blend of dreamy chords, jacking percussion and bumping bass. Up next, sample king Gallegos turns in a raw and crunchy acid workout that is sure to raise the roof with adrenaline inducing risers aplenty.

The VA takes a trippy left turn with Planet Euphorique and Craigie Knowes affiliate emkay, in a perception altering display of warping synths, shimmering gated vocals and loose drum patterns before rising star Body Clinic rounds things off. Fusing DnB and prog  in ‘159 Revolutions Per Minute’ against a futuristic backdrop, the young Northern Irish producer perfectly demonstrates the interwoven themes and concepts that the label seeks to platform. 

100% of compilation profits will be donated to Palestine Children's Relief Fund. 

Visions Vol. 2 will be available to buy digitally from December 8th, 2023.

Fixed Rhythms releases a masterpiece double LP by Texas techno young star, Decoder aka Gautham Garg. Fixed Rhythms previously released a 12” EP entitled “Boulder” under his 'Cratan' alias in 2021, and copies zipped out the door.

Decoder, is a Dallas based producer and DJ specialising in the realm of sci-fi and deep techno. His music personifies his forward thinking ideas as well as his cultural roots, making for a blend of retro-futuristic soundscapes and experimental shades of electronic music.

In early March 2021, Decoder witnessed the inception of his debut release, "The Futurist," brought to life by the Italian label Antiterra. Following this EP, a consistent stream of releases ensued, with Decoder contributing to labels such as Bomphcast, Srie Records, and his own imprint, Codec Recordings.

The same year marked the unveiling of his inaugural album, "Monolithic Activity Spectrum," released under the Spanish label Subsist. Closing out the year, Decoder presented his second album, "Dark Shape," released on Jeff Mills’ renowned Axis imprint. The momentum carried into the first half of 2022, with Decoder's "Moro Safa EP" hitting the shelves under the Amsterdam-based label Float Records. Additionally, this period saw the release of his third full-length album, "Plurality Module," on Subsist, along with a subsequent offering on Float Records titled "Kanavugal."

These releases have also garnered support from many artists including the likes of Richie Hawtin, Jeff Mills, Ben Sims, Jeroen Search, and TWR72, to name a few. Decoder's touring schedule has also seen notable moments, including shows played at notable clubs & parties such as De School, Fold, Cialo.

His eight-track album on Fixed Rhythms consists of hypnotic, bendy techno, with a C1 electro switch-up. You’re instantly transported to the depths of the cosmos within your mind on the first needle drop. An album for all moments of the deep dance, with a D2 that ends the double LP with a powerfully optimistic sonic statement.

Decoder's ‘Ghanaprajna’ LP is out via Fixed Rhythms on 14th March 2024 (Bandcamp/Nina Protocol) and 12th April 2024 (All Stores).
