Cupula Recordings continues its stellar run by showcasing international artists and including local talents in their newest five-artist VA. Expect high energy as well as psychedelic and elevated analog jams.

It begins with ‘Frobiq’ a hypnotic sequenced earthquake followed by ‘Planet Terror’ an industrial infectious jam. ‘The Reason’ slows things down with an emotional deep breakbeat decorated with the belgian sound. On the flip side Catalan producers and owners of the label come up with ‘Combat Mortal’ an infernal acid spell.

Vince Void closes down with ‘Rush’ a turbocharged acid house track that serves as a true weapon for the club.

The sails billowed in the wind. They were all that were in control of the ship as it moved steadily forward across the stormy waters. The sky was cloudy and dense overhead, it looked as though it might soon rain.

Up on deck there were only a handful of men left watching over the course of the boat. They were the ones that had to pick up the slack as the storm hit. Together they were responsible for driving things onward and steadily through the bleak, darkness of the night to come.

It was a wicked dance this. One ship upon the wildest of waters.

Terraflow is a moniker of producer AJ Edward. This time things get dark and heavy on a new EP for Liquid Memory Records as he enters more progressive, bass driven territory and delivers to wondrous effect.

Do Ya Wanna?

This is an up to date club flip of an underground stomper from my birth year, 91'. At the beginning of lockdown, I stumbled across a stack of records left on the street where I live, a neighbour had decided to chuck a nice little collection out. - So I felt these unwanted records needed some love and care and decided to take on a few edits of some of these unheard gems, feeling they could be retranslated for the modern dance floors. Here is the first, I hope you enjoy...
