With his debut EP for @ofparadiserecords, entitled ‘Negative Space’, @pugilistmusic pushes his sound even further, serving up a masterclass in atmospheric club chemistry, purpose-built for a post-apocalyptic world.

Featuring four deeply effective cuts caught somewhere between offbeat techno, lucid breaks, and swaggering bass, ‘Negative Space’ is a four-track vortex born out of heat-soaked landscapes and executed with cold vein precision.

PREMIÈRE: Pugilist - Micro Dose

The sound reverberated and danced as if it were under the possession of some strange outside spirit or influence. It echoed and pierced the ears as it grew louder and louder. The anticipation was too much for some who began to exit through the small door at the top of the room. Those who were more committed waited in observation of the risers' ode. 

The scientists conducting the experiment were brave in their approach - few had tried to breach the wall of sound before, testing the very limits of circumstance and noise. 

Soon they might hit fever pitch.

Sha Ru are a New York via Berlin based duo made up of Masha and Ru. Sha Ru are two musicians in constant flux, always discovering new iterations of themselves. Future facing, bass heavy loops and reverberating vocals mark a new era for the band one defined by artistic autonomy, intimacy and experimentation.

The pair are set to release a new EP on Jupiter4 - an intriguing assortment of electronic experiments.

PREMIERE: Sha Ru - Risers' Ode [Jupiter4]

PREMIERE: Nunu - Whaletail (99CTS RCRDS)

All Centre kick off the new year with a two tracker from label mainstay Holloway. Following a busy 2023 for the London-based artist, holding down a residency on Rinse FM, tearing up parties around the world and launching his own label Waylo, Holloway starts the year as he means to go on with two incendiary club tracks.

Beans opens in atmospheric fashion with lush pads and dubbed-out sirens held together by enthrallingly syncopated percussion. The structure then strips down to allow a wistful, jazz-inflected theme to come to the fore, deftly complimented by a bouncing, descending bassline and a deep kick pattern. Lightly swung drums give an edge of UKG stylings to this deep, introspective cut.

On the flip Holloway ramps up the tempo with Trinco. Soulful chords fuse the sound of 90s DnB into precise, stepping percussion. The track launches into another dimension at the drop, driven by techy drums, growling basslines and warped vocal samples. The track breathes with the reintroduction of the atmospheric pads, before the bassweight emerges again with renewed force.

Beans is available across all digital platforms from the 12th January 2024.

Release Date: March 1st, 2024
Info: If “Sempre a Correr” was the warm-up, then “Homo Hustle” is the final sprint to cross the finish line in style. “Homo Hustle” lands on Discos Extendes to confirm what we all already knew: the future of Portuguese dance music passes through Phoebe, aka Bruno Gonçalves. If his central role as founder of collectives such as “mina” and “Troublemaker Records” were not enough, or his role as programmer in festivals such as “Rama em Flor” or “Ano Zero”, or even as a central figure of the essential non-club “Planeta Manas”... or even as an agent at his own “Myth Agency”! Bruno Gonçalves still manages to find time to dj and produce! And he doesn't do it carelessly. Homo Hustle is a tight and muscular record that reveals his attention to the state of the art of dance music, without ever forgetting the original legacy of house. These were the tracks that he has shown us somewhere in 2021 and that we were so willing to release! A straightforward dance record made to shake your booty. A record that fits Extended Records like a glove!

👁️👁️
BIRTH OF THE FITLH VOL.1
15.03.2024

7 clubready tracks from local artists see the light now after being raised and nurtured in Vienna‘s womb.

B.Ranks & DJ Odd kick things off with Tube Shift, a playful fusion of breaks, wobbly basslines and timeless chord stabs.

Dirty Maria and Parule join forces as EVUL and bring you Unlucky Year. With a snippet of Otoboke Beaver's vocals morphed into a mesmerizing rhythmic vocoder synth, consistent percussions, wet hi-hats and a wonky bassline, the track creates an undeniable bouncy vibe for the audience.

Pull That Trigger from Kazakhstan born producer KRITECHNO is a relentless electro track infused with enigmatic vocal chops, squelchy background textures and a headbanging groove.

While we are at it, you'll find yourself nodding your skull once more as soon as the bassline from Steve Michael's Stamina hits. Combined with a catchy vocal, the track is made to drop your booty on the dancefloor.

TEZIBEL's 'Step Up.' Featuring sharp drum patterns, hypnotic synths, and her signature vocals. The track is telling a spellbinding tale of powerful melancholy.

A high-octane electro edit of The Carter's Apeshit by RIC49 engineered for maximum energy on the dancefloor. Crafted with a buzzing acid-type bassline, classic drum machine drums and a four to the floor switch midway through.

To round things up, zero's Tenoi pulls up the tempo once more and ventures into drum and bass territory. With a melody that ingrains itself into your mind, slamming drums and occasional chants of children, truly a one of a kind track!
