Duality Trax is a contemporary, forward-thinking record label from the creative mind of Irishselector Holly Lester. Encouraging inclusivity, togetherness and collaboration, the label seeks todraw inspiration from the contrasting but balancing energies that exist within us all. In keepingwith the label’s ethos, each release aims to consistently feature artists of all genders. 

With two vinyl releases since the label's conception in early 2020, Duality Trax makes its firstforay into compilation territory, pooling together some of the most interesting acts emerging fromhouse, techno and beyond. 

Bouncing from the US to Europe, the VA skips through a multitude of moods and genres acrossseven tracks - including acid-tinged electro from New York, breaks infused garage fromChicago, rave-fuelled house from Belgium and a pulsating trance-inspired club track fromEstonia.The latter comes courtesy of Abdul Raeva, a project between Coymix Ltd and Gestalt Recordsfounder Steffan Todorović and Joonas Arro (aka Rashida Prime / Ray Faded). Following on fromtheir latest output on Bristol label Mint Tea, the Tallinn-based duo deliver with their high octanetake on tech trance. 

Sprinkled with glitchy 8-bit samples, laser tag sound effects and driving 303licks, ‘Pearlescent’ is reminiscent of the type of track you’d hear in the 90’s on a virtual realitysimulator. With one foot in the past and one firmly in the future, the result is a contemporary clubbanger primed for the re-emergence of dancefloors everywhere.'Visions Vol. 1' comes out on August 6th exclusively via Bandcamp, with 100% of the profitsdonated to Doctors Without Borders.

Premiere: Feline Fine - Route 86

The undisputed Irish prog master Dylan Forbes steps up with an idiomatic release of club-orientated house tracks marbled to perfection for Haŵs' 14th release.

Sitting beneath swathes of euphoric synth lines, acidic iterations and probing basslines, 'Mind Expander' is a record formed by collective ideals from the solitary walls of Dylan's lockdown studio back in 2020.

The realms of your augmented consciousness are waiting for you inside our digital mind expander... enter, if you dare.

"Reality exists in the human mind, and nowhere else."

All profits are split between Mind, Trees for Cities & Womens' aid equally and we are aiming to raise a modest £3K to give a grand to each respected charity, but the sky is the limit.

PREMIERE : Kiara Scuro - Habibi Fitness

The sky had always fascinated her. During the day she'd dream about the possibilities of what lay beyond the clouds and far above the atmos; at night there was even more to ruminate on. Sometimes she felt she belonged up their amongst the stars; earth wasn't for her, she didn't feel as though she belonged anywhere. Could technology make it possible and were money no option, she'd have packed her bags long ago and headed far above the planet. For now she'd have to continue to dream. 

R.A.N.D. Muzik Recordings keep up their stellar output with a new release from Reflex Blue, a new name on the block in Australia. The label have long been one of our go-tos for a solid dose of house, electro, techno and breaks; and this new instalment doesn't disappoint. Chock full of progressive trance-tinged house and cosmic driving earworms, Reflex Blue proves why Australia has become such a great export of these proggy, sub-aquatic sounds in recent years.

Forged in the icy astral caverns of his mind, Hannd has crafted this three track EP to lure out the a creature that some may not believe exists, until now. Experience the cold-cosmic-breeze of the Space Yeti. The hairs on the back of your neck begin to stand up, and the birds take off in to the sky, as you notice distant large footprints in the interstellar snow approaching, what was once considered a mythical fairy tale, has now become reality. You are in the presence of the Space Yeti.

Stringy 1/2 of Primitive Needs actually removed some rubbish from my house and we begun talking about music. This EP turned up in my gmail 4 weeks later. Awesome release blending between 90s prog, electro and break beats. Expertly produced and mixed by Primitive Needs.

'Standing at the fore-front of the next-gen, Maara drops her second EP of 2022 on X-Kalay. 'Spiral To The Other Side' diverts into a dark and twisted escapade of ritualistic techno and electro-breaks, with Maara's direct energy and groove at the cornerstone of this high-octane four-tracker...... '
