Welcomes EP

Ian Blevins - Ice Path [Just Jack Recordings]

A thick cloud of pale yellow smoke billed out of the test tube, filling the clinical-looking, white washed room with a bitter odour that bristled the hairs on your nostrils. Different experiments took place at each table in the laboratory, trials and tests that came with equally positive and negative results. In their small lab-coat adorned groups, they clustered around their equipment with inquisitive expressions and furrowed brows, concocting special potions and medicines for motives we knew not.

Do you love acid? If the answer is yes, well this is the record for you. Cologne imprint Minimood Extra - the offshoot of Minimood - are charging into 2023 arm in arm with an old label mate, David Hausdorf and his new vinyl-only EP ACID. It does exactly what it says on the tin. Unlike his previous deep dives into dub techno and Detroit-influenced sounds, the Berlin native (who is also a cellist for Munich Philharmonic Orchestra!) explores the wonders of the 303, fashioning four hypnotic tracks centred around squelching acid lines and paired with electro and techno influences.

PREMIERE: David Hausdorf - Nitric Acid [Minimood Extra]

It had been a long time coming, the shackles were loosened and the people danced and rejoiced in the streets as if they'd never seen the daylight before.

That night they would gather to celebrate and sing songs from a time long ago, long before all of this. The hardships and the struggles of the recent age would be banished beyond the horizon for at least one night only before the fallout fell down.

This was freedom day, it would go down in history as such forevermore.

Chiwax release a new EP from Re:percussion, a Melbourne duo made up of Mitchell Gee and Jackson Gray who channel elements of classic House and Italo into a wonderful EP which will sound excellent on the beach this summer.

This is what dance music is and should be all about.

PREMIERE: Re:percussion - Freedom Day [Chiwax]

This year's compilation is dedicated to Mahsa Amini and the protest movement her tragic death has caused. We mean to make a contribution to support the situation of women in Iran by donating all revenues to the 'Center For Human Rigts In Iran' (www.iranhumanrights.org)

The works of long-familiar label associates as well as fresh fellows of Blaq Numbers from all over the globe compile yet another grand collection of sounds covering a broad spectrum from laidback jazzy vibes to glowing house and italo vibes. This one is spiked with 4-to-the-floor crackers and electro disco sensations.

Massive thanks go out to all the artists contributing their music ♡

PREMIERE : Moff & Tarkin - Tupperware

Since the arrival of E-Prime with their debut single, August is an Angel, the duo, consisting of siblings Trevor & Jaclyn Blumas have been steadily making impressions with diggers and groovers with their infectious blend of 80s pop, old school house, new beat, 90s R n' B, balearic and more.

No Guestlist represents the activist rallying cries of constant marginalization and toxic gentrification at the hands of late-capitalism, overtop of a classic ballroom house groove supported by MC-909 samples and Neptunes inspired keys

No Guest List

PREMIERE : E-Prime - No Guest List

PREMIERE: REES - Express [Energia EP]

„Šventąją Velyku dieną grįžtam su trenksmu. 19-ajį gimtadienį švenčianti vakarėlių serija vienai nakčiai keliasi po Opiumo stogu. Gimtadienio proga įrašiau kiek ilgesnį nei valandos trukmės margutį. Laužyti breakbeat'o ritmai, euforiški tech hause'o synthai ir nenuspėjami progresyvo dropai - viskas spontaniškai, linksmai ir šventiškai, kaip ir pridera sulaukus gimtadienio!”, — sekmadienį nuo Velykų stalo į Minimal Mondays 19 gimtadienį pakilti kviečia Bixon, o kol kas — klausome jo mikso.

"We're coming back with a bang on Easter day. To celebrate the 19th birthday, we're going under the Opium roof for one night. For this occasion, I recorded a mix that is a bit over an hour long. Broken breakbeat rhythms, euphoric tech house synths, and unpredictable progressive drops - everything is spontaneous, fun, and festive, just as a birthday celebration should be!" - Bixon invites us to join the Minimal Mondays 19th birthday celebration on sunday, but for now - let's listen to his mix.

Minimal Mondays 19: Bixon

Cham Dance is a timeless slice of back-to-the-future house music by the São Paulo-based duo Kurc and Chausi. Merging 80’s nostalgia and 90’s rave influences, the EP evokes the past in spirit, when rules weren’t yet written and our romance with transcendental machine sounds was in its early days. You can find freedom within the tracks and unity around the album. Vigorous beats and ethereal pads that bring about the first light of bliss to a packed summer dancefloor. This is a record you sit and listen as a whole, something that in our current time is rare. A journey into sound.

Cham Dance

PREMIERE : Kurc & Chausi - Nadi II

O'Malley - We're All Selling Something

The debut release from Thanksmate on Soul Express Records, 'SEX001,' is a journey into the deep and groovy side of house music, blending 90s influences with contemporary, sophisticated club sounds. Across the six tracks, the record moves between lush, dreamy melodies and hypnotic, driving rhythms that create an immersive experience both for the dancefloor and for introspective listening. The EP pulls from a wide palette of inspirations: the raw energy of early Chicago house, the emotive textures of Balearic beats, and the gritty funkiness of Italo house.
