Brooklyn-based DJ and producer Ayesha (@aye5ha) lines up a four-track EP with Scuffed Recordings, channelling percussive techno, breaks, and bass.

The Potential Energy EP bears all the hallmarks of the sonic universe that Ayesha has made her own on previous releases for the likes of Fever AM, Kindergarten Records, Control Freak, and Daytimers.

Aptly-named opener ‘Potential Energy’ is a rallying cry for the current moment in dance music, as clubs in parts of the world begin to open and ravers release the pent-up energy of the past eighteen months.

‘Ecstatic Descent’ is up next and lives up to its title with euphoric arpeggios sprinkled liberally over heavy, syncopated breaks.

Third track ‘We Be Bubblin’ encapsulates Ayesha’s approach to sound design and sample selection, with playful bubbling sounds and vocodered vocals dancing over driving percussion.

Ending the EP is ‘Dark Matter’, the fastest and heaviest track of the bunch, which saw its first outing during Yung Singh’s already-legendary Boiler Room set as part of the Daytimers takeover.

Over the past couple years, Native Boundaries has established itself as a respected curator of parties that: push the boundaries of music and fun In the Los Angeles underground. For our first EP, we are honored to be working with a mix of local LA up and coming talent with some internationally respected artists as well. This release embodies the spirit of breaks pushing the limits of the genre with two originals from Etari diving into an elusive, yet methodical territory with beautifully processed vocal samples and tribal influences. Another LA local, User Delusion has created a more aggressive yet beautiful edit to “With You” accompanied with a soulful R&B vocal. Stones Taro has also remixed “With You” with his signature breaky garage sound as his own rendition also including a more agro bass-line and yet soothing vibe. Finally Berlin Legend Iron Curtis has remixed “Midnight Mood” with a very emotionally moving melodic feeling along with an acidic texture and minimal beat.

Opening up with celestial synths, 'Inverted Refractions' bleeps, judders and manipulates to create an abstract canvas of warbling bass and staccato hi-hats and rim shots. It's a playful dance from the mind of @n9oc. Released 10 February via @die-orakel.

𝖕𝖗𝖊𝖒𝖎𝖊𝖗𝖊#186 📢 KŌMA - Artie0512 [Nice People Dancing Records]

It was here where they would meet, here would be the spot. For it simply had to be, all the stars and signs had indicated that it must be as such.

The city was cold at night, the wind howled as he huddled in the doorway. He watched and waited.

People came and went, they weren’t right. Only someone special might be able to appreciate and understand the importance of five light point.

Bristol record label SSS releases three tracks of weird, mutant, abstract Bass music. Wobbly textures and off piste drums reinforce what is a wonky ride through deconstructed dance music.

• 𝗠𝗮𝘁𝗼𝗹𝗲 ─ Nada Es Para Siempre [AM02]︱𝗔𝗿𝘁𝗲𝗺𝗮𝗴𝗼 •

𝗠𝗮𝘁𝗼𝗹𝗲, operating within the percussive, acid-tinged contours of South America’s electronic underground, returns with Nada Es Para Siempre [AM02] via 𝗔𝗿𝘁𝗲𝗺𝗮𝗴𝗼. This artist, already featured on several label compilations and EPs, now takes center stage with four tracks that unfold like analog dreams.

His cuts are raw, giving the feeling that each piece is handcrafted. He uses sweeping acid patterns, rippling percussion and melancholic pads in minor keys that merge with buried melodies and textures. 

The premiere track "Reverso" has a hypnotic pull: its rhythm stays steady while airy, giving space for the gliding pads to swirl and fade. The details float just out of reach, inviting you to get lost in its shifting layers.
