Authenticity was hard to come by; the way they dressed, the way they talked, their opinions on everything — it was always the same. They mirrored one another, stealing the most interesting parts of culture, news and the arts and packaging it as their own opinions and thoughts. They'd never strived for originality; they barely knew themselves...

It's almost a year on since Lisbon imprint Magic Carpet took their first steps into the label world. Since their inaugural outing from Berlin-based producer Phyzikal Flex, they've added a second from Baby Rollén and now their on to lucky number three courtesy of Bristol's Ramu. Marking his debut EP, it's comprised of three tracks that call out to the dancefloor, working together elements of breakbeat, electro and jungle all wrapped up in dreamy atmospheres.

PREMIERE: Ramu - Mirrored Me [Magic Carpet]

Pleasure Planet is back in orbit, summoning some of their favorite producers to reimagine the two lead singles from their self-titled debut album.

Alex Kassian’s Sphinx Gate Mix of Alien closes it out by slowing things down and transporting Alien into nostalgic territory with melodic arps and peak Haceinda-era breaks and bass. If you listen to his emotional remix carefully enough, you may hear a vocal response from Kim Ann’s partner Cora in its final fleeting moments.

After a very successful debut VA earlier this year — supported internationally by Job Jobse,Roza Terenzi, Anz, and Gearmaster — Flip The Lid returns with its second release: Rolly Bump Vol 2; an expansive VA compilation that dives deeper into the progressive underground. Where the first release focused tightly on progressive house and trance, FTL002 embraces a broader sonic spectrum — tracing a line from groove-heavy house through to high-energy progressive trance, even venturing into goa and psy-inspired territory… The result is a boundary-stretching, club-ready collection that still holds true to the label’s deep, proggy core.Featuring contributions from both established underground names and rising talent across the globe, this compilation reflects the label’s growing global network and its continued focus on

Bring the beat back (Extended Mix)

Early last year, @brothernebula commenced emitting life signs from a little know sector of the universe. Nick Höppner's antennas happened to pick up the signals via the Legwork label, piquing his interest to find out more about where these sounds originated... 

Fast forward a light year, and Brother Nebula remains a mystery. What we do know though, is that after an extended mission into the further reaches of the local group, he’s returned to Earth on Touch From a Distance with four new samples ready for examination. The data - while not wholly empirical - is both atmospheric and dimensional in nature. 

On the A side, we start off with Double Helix - a concise dissertation on the effects of extended club use on the brain, before continuing into the interstellar disco of Infinity 2. On the flip, we glide through the electronic thermosphere with Sky Walking, before expelling all thetans with the DX funk of Going Clear. 

TFAD is exhilarated to present the latest results of the unknown space b-boy's interstellar endeavours.
