"Take It" rounds out the physical 12" with a mystic 140 bpm roller, whose uplifting chords and infectious vocal make their way out of the club and into your heart.

DJ Fucks Himself - Take It [NP004]

The phone rang and rang but nobody was home to pick up. They’d all abandoned this place a long time ago, for why would they stay to manage the trials and tribulations of wild callers in the middle of the night.

Never again would they return to the fault line, the red phone could buzz until the heavens called them home for all they cared.

Once upon a time they’d had to work here, answering the questions and complaints of the rich and the oppressive – not any more. The dial tone was all that was left for them now…

Scaefa is set to release a fast paced, synth driven EP on Troubleshoot. This track is a fiery, melodic, synth driven cut ready for loud soundsystems and big rooms. Energetic, euphoric and magnetic sounds at their best.

Dream Stealer

PREMIERE: Scaefa - Fault Line [Troubleshoot]

Waves rippled gently on the shore, glistening like a million diamonds under the hot sun. The best way to see the coastline was by boat, there was so much hidden from those who only explored the area on dry land. They missed all the secret gems the water had to offer; the coves that glittered with golden sands and the old caves that led to secluded sparkling pools to dip your toes in. Out here on the ocean, there was so much to take in but it was only those who took the risk that would reap the rewards...

A new year, a new label: Berlin DJ and producer Acidfinky launches her Twisting Knobs imprint into the world with a VA release featuring music from three artists and herself. Dubbed as music "for travelling in space", the dreamy sounds on offer come courtesy of Guava, rayne and Leipzig-based producer bavedacon who's behind our pick. Marking the drummer, DJ and radio host's first electronic music release, 'tretboot' sees him exploring a softer, more meditative side of electro with lush pads, squelchy acid lines and crisp percussion.

All profits from the release will be donated to 'Women Life Freedom', a Berlin-based collective who are working to highlight and support the voices of the feminist uprising in Iran.

@spacedimensioncontroller is well-known for lush, synth-drenched productions, sometimes funky, sometimes dreamy, which makes our premiere of 'Big Shoe NRG' and TQN005 as a whole all the more surprising.

Fourteen months since his debut release on Berlin-based imprint Warning, @joshcowgill lines up his follow up EP on Melbourne’s burgeoning @potatoheadzlabel exploring experimental strains of break-laden beats, drum and bass, trance and IDM.

JCow - In my elem3nt7 [Potatoheadz Records]

No Sir joins the Faux Poly family with their new EP ‘Voyeur’, a release full of rich syncopated percussion and expressive soundscapes that document the artists’ evolving perspective on club spaces and home listening.

The record leans towards sub heavy broken beats, resulting in a confident contribution to the flourishing NYC Bass scene. Despite being based in Brooklyn, No Sir has already broken ground in Europe with singles on 3024 & W133.

“I started producing this EP at a really challenging moment last summer after I got a concussion that left me pretty much bed bound for a month. During this time I also quit drinking, so my relationship to music and going to clubs saw a complete overhaul. This EP is my attempt to find a space in between the hours spent at my quiet apartment and my return to these loud, dark spaces I see as another kind of home. The title track, Voyeur, was the first piece of music I made after the injury” - No Sir
