GIFKIKKER is a Brussels based collective and label that fuses roughness and bite with depth- and clarity. Inspired by the sounds of the rustling leaves, flowing rivers and industrial soundscapes, our aim is to create genre-fluid music that blast the listeners into a wall of sound. Experimentation is key, where there are no boundaries.

Anima Omada deliver their debut on Yan One Records with “I Miss You” — a jackin’ house cut built for the floor. Driven by rolling basslines, crisp percussion, and an irresistible swing, the track channels pure dancefloor energy with a touch of soulful warmth. Rooted in the groove yet playful in spirit, it captures the essence of the duo’s sound.

Kris Baha - Serve, Obey (RA Premiere)

The port welcomed boats and ships from all over the world, a meeting place for people to share tales of their intrepid journeys. There was much hustle and bustle as the nomadic groups stepped on to solid ground and greeted one another. Joyous cries rang around the port, it had been months, years even since these travellers had seen one another. After a few days they would part ways and take their travels to a new corner of the world, but they would always return. This place was their home from home.



Moscow-based label ИДА are set to release the 10th record on their imprint, this time from Saint-Petersburg producer Bogdan who makes up one half of Soft Metal. The four original tracks display his love of breakbeat, acid and percussion, with signature remixes from Vilnius producer Miskotom and label heads Uninc & Kolomensky.

Originally, Auren comes from downbeat, ambient and slow electronica background. He had to break his own rules in order to move into different music direction, what with the time becomes more and more unknown for himself. This reflects in Aurens debut album, where the boundaries between styles, genres, known and modern dissolve. Most of the tracks were recorded live during his sleepless jams at his studio in Vilnius, Lithuania.

The Unknown

[PPP012] AUREN - The Unknown (Snippets) - OUT on 2.11.2019

Following releases this year on XXX and Nein, Italian duo Younger Than Me now make their debut on Jennifer Cardini and Noura Labbani’s Dischi Autunno with an outstanding, explorative, yet inherently (and beautifully) 90s-feeling five-track EP.
Three originals, two remixes: ‘Mind Hunter’ leads the cosmic charge, ploughing us beyond the known universe on a ship of acid and pulsating warm analog synths. ‘Feeling Breath’ takes us even deeper into electronica’s most formative decade with an uptempo thrust, more acid and wry elements of trance before ‘Sewer Rat’ takes us deep underground with much more of a percussive techno twist. 
Remix-wise Jennifer has recruited the perfect complementary artists: Acid Junkies (who made the first record she ever learnt to DJ with back in 94) flip ‘Sewer Rat’ into an almighty acid juggernaut while Shan once again reminds us why he’s the master of modern rave a stunning eight-minute, break-based twist on ‘Feeling Breath’.

Me & the friends were handling a party at homebase @opiumclub December 7th, called Valdo Kovaldo Radijas, dedicated to a guy that never existed. I sprained my ankle really hard on the way to club. Barely walking, in a huge pain I played this set and recorded it, now sharing this with you. Never stop.

PREMIERE – Diego Montiel – Sintonizando (Younger Than Me Remix) (Side UP Works)

The Techmaridians were righteous beings, but before the mutation they lived their lives like hordes of others. As land-livers, they were outcasts, overwhelmed and oppressed by the bureaucratic systems that were supposed to protect them. As Techmaridians, they were gifted new strengths and physical abilities that distinguished them from any other known species, it was as if they’d been born again. They might have been turned into bottom-feeders, but they had been united and given a purpose. Their age had been established. 

‘Out Of Water Out Of Time’ comes from the Techmarine Bottom Feeders debut album, Boanerges and the Watery Deep. It’s the third instalment in their saga, as told by Paris The Black Fu and Luxus Varta. The duo use tense yet bubbling electro beats and synths, ominous pads, and haunting vocals, to tell the story of a race of beings that are forced to make the seas their home after genetically modified food mutates their DNA.
