Etbonz (aka Elliott Thomas) returns to @bed_of_roses-1 - this time with Energizer Gaze - a six-song EP beaming in from the furthest reaches of the astral plane.
Featuring a gargantuan remix from sonic titan Steve Moore, as well as remixes from Portland underground greats Grizz Thomas and Old World. The dreams are tangerine, ramping into a shimmering ecstatic current, summoning a pulsar of shredded tension - emitting a righteous blaze. The edge of the universe is a blade wielded by only those who can feel its pure love.

PREMIERE : Etbonz - Energizer Gaze

We live the beginning of the end of the world. The brutalities of capitalism dim our hope. Soaring unemployment, poverty, growing state authoritarianism, proto-fascist mobs, micro-organism plagues, increasingly horrific climate disasters…. Pessimism leads us to understand the urgency of rear guard battle and sabotage of existing orders. Our music is for militants who are fighting to salvage the destruction of our eco-systems; who are constructing truly liberating alternatives on the ashes.

PREMIERE : Yung Lemon - Primevil

Not many people knew about the wonders of this underground party. It was, and always had been, a word of mouth situation, restricted to those who were non-judgmental and willing to let go of their inhibitions. This is the way it would always be: it ensured the space to be safe, sacred and untouched, and the partygoers to be faces who'd soon become friends and not remain strangers. 

For their next release, a digital two-tracker titled The Leisure Hive, NYC's Throne Of Blood link up three Philadelphian artists: Optimo and Les disques de la mort signees Zillas On Acid and Permanent Vacation and Mister Saturday Night alumni Alex Burkat. The three artists first met at Dave P's Making Time parties where the former duo have been resident DJs for years. It's this night that inspired the idea behind this new release: two "psychedelic dance floor jams" that are custom-made to soundtrack the frivolities at open-minded soirees like Making Time.

Deep in the forest somewhere between steep hill, rushing river and magical creations there's a hidden treasure Jump on a journey with Positiver, with his uplifting debut EP for such an occasion. Timing is great, cuz sun is blasting.

Positiver is a fresh new producer based in VIlnius, Lithuania. His love for music started in DJ duo ''Absurd'', but few years, when pandemic hit the world and rushing life had to stop, it was a time to get back to your trueself. Inspired by musicians like Sweely, Adam Pits or Liquid Earth, experimentation with sound design began. Cozy bedroom grew into studio with synthesizers and jamming abilities. "Groovy drums, jumpy basslines, uplifting pads and acid motives is what drives me the most while jamming in the studio'' - he says.

PREMIERE⚡️Positiver - Kinza

Things became clearer under the veil of darkness; how ironic that in the stark light of day, nothing but confusion and uncertainty ruled her mind. Though the answers were staring her right in the face, she couldn't see them, there was too many distractions and external influences that obstructed her vision. But when night took hold, and the sweet sound of silence prevailed, the solutions were finally plain to see.. 

For the next release on Portland's Bed of Roses, they welcome MagicPink - a member of the label collective - for her debut EP, Night Visions. A powerful, stirring release in its entirety, the four original tracks journey through twinkling, icy synths, fuzzy, driving EBM and skittering blends of trance and industrial. On the flip a few other producers get their hands on the music; French post-punk band Blind Delon take on the title track, while label mate and boss, Cole Baby and Break Mode, respectively, also add their own personal touch to two of the other cuts.

Night Visions

PREMIERE: MagicPink - Night Visions [Bed of Roses]

We all piled in, five of us crammed into one of the tub-shaped cars, giddy and giggling. There was a brief commotion as we argued over who was going to sit next to who, but soon we were off and the laughter continued, slightly more hysterical now. A surly teenager working on the ride immediately gravitated to our car and gave it a spin, sending it lurching in the opposite direction that the undulating ride was travelling. Some cheesy old-rave banger was playing over the soundsystem, Rozalla maybe, it was hard to tell. "Scream if you want to go faster!" Jonny shouted above the din, so of course we did. And the kid with the furry upper lip and biro tattoos duly obliged, the car rotating into oblivion until I was so dizzy I felt sick.

Ransom Note fave Timothy Clerkin has remixed Queen, the latest single from the feminist pop duo Seagoth, which was released on Bytes on June 10. The Manchester-based producer, DJ and boss of Insult to Injury Records has taken Queen on a trip to the free party scene of 1992, with echoes of the Prodigy and old-school rave anthems in the thunderous breakbeats and day-glo melodies.

The glittering glam-rock original was written and produced by 20-year-old Georgia Ochoa (guitarist/lead vocals) in her bedroom at home in Cheshire. Exhausted by the inequality of the sexes, but also fuelled to instigate change, Ochoa wrote this song to highlight the effects of modern day misogyny.

PREMIERE: Seagoth - Queen (Timothy Clerkin Remix) [Bytes]

In all situations, he didn't give much away, he preferred to keep his cards close to his chest. It was intriguing; he had a discreet charm that kept her interested - she wanted to know more. But how long would it last? Would the mystique eventually fade or would she simply grow tired of having to break down his walls? She'd have to take the risk to find out and hopefully soon enough she'd be able to peel back his layers. 

A-Tweed's releases come thick and fast. The Rome-based producer and DJ has already charted releases and tracks for Electric Shapes, Odd Pleasures, Belly Dance Services, HEARec and Fienes Tier, and that's not even the full list. Next he brings his signature psychedelic acid and dark electronic creations to Inside Out Records with Rendezvous in Tangier. He employs his arsenal of machines and hypnotic vocal samples for three original cuts that match deep soundscapes and chugging rhythms, completed by a couple of remixes from Scottish producer CAIN and Salons des Amateurs resident Lucas Croon.

Brooklyn, NY - Written, recorded and mixed by Dynoman in Brooklyn, New York, AGILITY E.P. is an exciting new club focused release comprising of 4 tracks each with their own distinct character influenced by his musings in the club. The 4 track E.P. was mastered by Brooklyn based Swaya and the album art was created by Karachi based Samya Arif. Each of the tracks have their own vibe and play into the club/breaks genre. On Jaldi, Dynoman returns to his Pakistani roots, deconstructing tabla and programming a beautifully crafted Santoor melody, juxtaposing those traditional so unds against heavy sub basslines and an infectious club beat. On Like Lightning and Celerity, Dynoman takes a more electro focused approach and Shadow Step a more club focused one, paying tribute to the surroundings he has been living and operating in for the last 5 years as a DJ, producer.
