PREMIERE : Abajour - MS45 (Get Bent Version)


JKriv returns to Rocksteady Disco after a six-year break with his stunning ‘Adaptation EP’. 

This super solid five tracker continues J's hot streak on seemingly every great label around the world including his own Razor-N-Tape, with a deep organic sound, thanks to it being mostly produced in his MPC3000 era. 'Greene Street Lament' kicks it off on a boom bap beat tip. Next 'Adaptation' gets the party started with lush strings, piano, and a huge bassline. On the flip is 'Total Pleasure', a midtempo boogie house joint with enough sub to rattle your car door handles off. 'Vibetown' continues on the MPC tip with killer breaks and chops for all the heads. Lastly, the 'Adaptation (Dub)' closes out with the driving dance floor sound we all know and love JKriv for. Housed in a gorgeous picture sleeve and cut loud to vinyl, this EP is an absolute must have.

PREMIERE : JKriv - Vibetown

Facets' "Sonic Ocean" EP on Slovenian label KRI Records deliberately excavates the raw spirit of late ’80s New Beat and EBM for a modern audience. The New York-based producer, also the force behind Samo Records, channels this gritty energy into a contemporary club context with striking precision. His four original compositions rest on a foundation of stripped-down, muscular rhythms and tense, wiry electronics that lock together with industrial purpose. This compelling core work is then amplified by powerful reinterpretations from two distinct voices: the Midas touch of Marcello Giordani and the punishing approach of Broken English Club, resulting in a formidable and complete parcel.

Premiered here, the Alter Ego Mix of the title track by Marcello Giordani is a masterclass in controlled escalation. The Italo Deviance maestro wraps the original's EBM menace in a cloak of psychedelic texture, introducing a relentless, squelching acid line that acts as the track's throbbing nervous system. Around this core, Giordani weaves sharp fragments of Techno and Trance, not as mere decorative elements, but as structural reinforcements that build a palpable sense of anticipation. The calculated intensity of the track is broken by intermittent vocoder passages. The robotic interjections cut through the mix like coded transmissions, offering brief, melodic respites before the driving rhythm reclaims its dominance. It’s a mix that maintains a formidable dancefloor focus while adding layers of cosmic intrigue, proving both functional and fascinating.

New single Static from Anwei Huss pushes the artist’s output into new territories. It features the familiar deep, driving rhythms Huss is known for, with an increased focus on live instrumentation to complement thoughtfully produced electronics. Healthy doses of dreamy keys and psychedelic guitar weave gently through floating pads and crackling percussive arrangements, while the alluring growl of a disarming acid bassline grounds the track to offer a brooding, cinematic listening experience.

PREMIERE – Marcela Dias Sindaco – Olhar etéreo (Fixed Rhythms)

https://soundcloud.com/sonambient https://soundcloud.com/salgarirecords
🛒 https://sonambientmusic.bandcamp.com/album/dryland

Dryland is an album born during an unexpected return to the artist’s roots, in the Friulian countryside: the tracks took shape while alternating with long walks along the grava—the vast stretches of pebbles typical of the North-Eastern plains. In this landscape, only seemingly arid and dry, water flows invisibly underground, only to resurface with power in spring. The pieces of Dryland mirror the nature of those places: solid rhythmic structures, drawing on dembow and reggaeton beats, yet crossed by currents of ambient atmospheres, distant and liquid melodies flowing between kick and snare. The result is a suspended balance between danceability and dreamlike suggestions, between bursts of enthusiasm and shades of melancholy.

Sonambient is the alias of Andrea Buzzi, a producer originally from Friuli and now based in Turin. His sound blends UK Bass, distant dub echoes, and shifting ambient noises. The project was born in 2012, and since then he has performed across Italy with live sets and DJ sets, released music, and collaborated on installations, performances, and sound projects. With the Stasis collective, he curates events that merge club culture and audiovisual experimentation. In 2024 he launched MAREINTERNO, a live series dedicated to intimate forms of ambient music. Over the years, he has brought his sound to various festivals and contexts, including C2C, SYS Palermo, TUM, Kernel Festival, Vorspiel/CTM Festival – Berlin.

PREMIERE - Viper Patrol - Dancing Voices (Paisley Dark Records)

INCOMING : Modern Friend - Someone’s Gotta Save Us (Andy Toth Remix) #Permaculture

Release date : 31/10/2025
BUY : https://perma.ffm.to/sgsurmx_

Modern Friend are a Montreal, Canada-based duo consisting of Voytek Korab (formerly of My Favorite Robot) and Kosta Megalos (formerly of Flowers and Sea Creatures). The new project dives back into each of their early influences of post-punk and synthwave sounds which were musical movements that heavily influenced their formative years.

Having been greatly involved in the underground electronic music scene for many years, this is their first foray into the type of music that they always wanted to write. “Someone’s Gotta Save Us” is a post-punk electronica number, all-encompassing of the times we are in.

Andy Toth, co-founder and former member of the Detroit Grand Pubahs remixes the track and flips it into an electro stomper. Korab’s smooth vocals get turned into a robotic twitchy funk, the guitars become replaced with acid-tinged synths, and an overall thump is added to the drums to make it ready for the clubs. Pure, aural filth with this remix in the absolute best of ways.

The Andy Toth remix of Modern Friend’s “Someone’s Gotta Save Us” is released October 31st, 2025 on Permaculture.

Taken from "Viper Patrol - Dancing Voices / Def Charge EP (Paisley Dark Records)". Out October 07th 2025. Buy here : https://paisleydarkrecords.bandcamp.com/album/dancing-voices-def-charge

Leeds imprint Paisley Dark has carved out a reputation for psychedelic chug and shadowy late-night burners, and their latest signing fits right in. Enigmatic newcomer Viper Patrol makes a bold entrance with two originals that are heavy on the acid, low-slung in tempo, and dripping with afterhours intent.
Dancing Voices spirals through mesmeric acid lines and hypnotic percussion, the kind of track that slowly works its way under the skin until the floor is fully locked. Def Charge follows suit with darker propulsion, a driving chug wrapped in trippy, psychedelic textures.
The remix package brings serious weight. Cosmikuro ramps up the 303 pressure, delivering a heads-down workout that’s tailor-made for ALFOS devotees. A Space Age Freak Out flips it dubwise, pushing low-end heft and cosmic atmospherics into a rolling late-night groove. Ian Vale strips back to a shadowy pulse, creating a warped, hallucinatory trip that stays relentlessly floor-focused. And Airsine closes with a Balearic-tinged reimagining, weaving sunlit melodies into a peak-time rush that feels equal parts blissed-out and turbo-charged.
It’s a release that perfectly captures Paisley Dark’s ethos: psychedelic, propulsive, and always aimed at the deepest corners of the night.

PREMIERE : Viper Patrol - Dancing Voices (A Space Age Freak Out Remix) (Paisley Dark Records)

The wires in the laboratory were beggining to tighten as the sparks illuminated the darkened room. The experiment had been years in planning and many had struggled ferociously with their inner demons over the course of the project. The group of scientists had teetered on the edge of electronic breakdown so many times before but this was the closest that they had come to total catastophic failing. Would it work? 

Based in Brooklyn Chupacabras has found form on his tapes for Tutamen and his EP for Go Finger. He features on a split 12" with Brother Y and finds himself exploring elements of cosmic house.

@tutamen-1

PREMIERE: Chupacabras - Electronic Breakdown [Tutamen]

A long morning had left Philippe scratching to connect the sum of the wired parts together, to string them into a semblance, a structure. Cables had been coupled, triggers synced, matrix mapped. He needed respite, some food, some wine, some space. 

PREMIERE: Offset - Moist (Morgan Hammer Remix) [Factor City]

The hum of a guitar can be heard blowing on the breeze between the trees of the Hubalub island. The crowd gathered around a trio of performers who found themselves dancing in the open space beside the beach house. The sun had begun to set and tribal drums clattered as they danced amongst the sand. A solitary bird flew by, it's shadow all that was visible, a black silhouette against the dying light of the shrinking sun. Rum was passed between revelers and the crowd rejoiced as a count was issued: "1, 2, 3, 4, UHH". The drums resumed. 
Bosconi Extra Virgin is an interesting label capturing the spread of a highly international sound. Listen to Riccio's take on dirty funk below as he captures an enthusiastic energy on "Uhh".

PREMIERE: Riccio - Uhh [Bosconi Extra Virgin]

Radio waves that orbited in the dark spaces, secret frequencies that splintered the cosmos and rebounding beats that once snapped echoed into the infinite distance.

PREMIERE: Cannibal Ink - Sirius B (Timothy J. Fairplay Remix)[Melomana]

Cosmic blips and bleeps squeak as the moon glimmers. A pale beam of light glistens along the pier as the couple stroll towards the end, towards the water, those ocean waves calling out louder now in the moonlight than ever before. The tide brought them in and out. They gazed out towards the island which sat on the shimmering horizon, it was a silhoutte, an outline against the ocean expanse. Boats were leaving now and then, they would catch the next not knowing where it might take them, the risk was worth it all, they had heard the stories and it was time to leave. 

Simoncino is set to release a five track EP for Rowtag Records shortly. Here is "Il Sole Boogie".

PREMIERE: Nick Anthony Simoncino - Il Sole Boogie [Rowtag Records]

Recalling that his old friend Charlton knew the Roman emperors personally, Reagan called him up from the big red phone. "So, Ben, Nancy has been talking to some ol' Joanie at one of her First Lady engagements and she reckons that your ol' pal Caesar took advice from some of these astronomer guys".

PREMIERE: Chrissy - Presidential Astrologer (Savile Remix)[Freerange]
