ØEN Records is back with a special two track EP from up and coming Copenhagen based producer Fruit (@fruitdj). Originally from Iceland, but based in Denmark, Fruit has been making waves in the Copenhagen club scene with his eloquent DJ and live-sets. Following up his acclaimed 2019 Drømmeland EP he is finally back with two epic, fast-paced and euphoric tracks to light up the summer dance floors.

Drawing inspiration from myths and legends and particularly the Epic of Gilgamesh – a 4000 year old poem from ancient Mesopotamia – “Gilgamesh” is a hypnotic and trancey trip destined for the peak hours of the post-corona parties.

Created during the peak of the pandemic on an old half broken borrowed MacBook, the two distinct but kindred tracks are testament to Fruits unique production style, effortlessly navigating between euphoric fast-paced house, ambient soundscapes, hypnotic percussion and haunting atmospheres. Skillfully crafted and executed “Gilgamesh” is primed for both floor and mind.

Fruit – Bull of Heavens [ØEN REC.]

Time is a funny thing; some wish it away while others are desperate for more. When we’re young you want to fast forward your life so we can be adults and when we’re old we yearn for our youth. Being present in the moment and enjoying every minute is difficult but it’s the only way time will remain on our side - the only way we can make time work for us and not against us.

Seoul-based duo Two Tone Shape return to Honey Badger Records for their second EP, following 2020's Fantastic Machines. Made up of long-standing house producer Wooseok Choi and Minseop Lee, who's output revolves around UK Bass and French electronic music, when the pair come together they pair their shared love of Detroit House and UK electronics - influences that are ever-present on their sophomore release Every Minute. Choi is in charge of the synthesizers while Lee takes care of the drum machines, and the results are a batch of five hypnotic house tracks full of momentum and force.

Every Minute EP

PREMIERE: Two Tone Shape - Every Minute (Drive Mix) [Honey Badger Records]

Here's the latest piece of our resident and co-founder DJ Normal. Bio Aggregation is a full force Trance belter driven by organic percussions as phat acid lines. Also pay some attention to the rest of this VA release on EYA Records as the tracks by Sohrab and Fasme are really fresh as well and as if it wouldn't be enough the labels rounds it up with a re-issue of a throbbing slow-burner from mid-90s Danish duo UFO.

This is Your World, and we're just living in it.

Your World EP by Sami (Naarm/Melbourne)

We're excited to release "Your World EP" from our very own Sami. This EP features four dance floor heaters, filled with upbeat energy and a unique blend of world sounds nodding to his upbringing in Asia and Australia. The sound is coherent to his affinity of 90s Prog/Trance - whilst incorporating a sample of the didgeridoo and an Indian traditionalist vocalist, creating for a rich & diverse soundscape.

Hypnotic is what comes to mind. Throughout, the use of pads creates space, floating above the energetic acid rhythms typical of his productions.

We hope you enjoy //Human

VA – SOFT POWER VOL. 1 – PROTECT TRANS YOUTH

Label: Hypersoft
Release: 12.07.24
Cat. No.: HS-01
Format: Digital
Distribution: Word and Sound
Mastering: Marco @ Analogcut

Berlin’s Hypersoft collective kick off their new label with a 15-track VA raising
funds for trans youth and a launch party at OHM.

The collective, run by Berlin and London-based DJs TPR and DJ TEETH, emerged onto the scene in 2022 and is known for balancing breakthrough and established artists from the new school of the progressive landscape with legends and innovators of the scene, a resident lineup that includes Cromby, Bambi and Bliss Inc. and guests ranging from Sunju Hargun and Spekki Webu to nd_baumecker and Jane Fitz.

Their first release as a label follows the same principle: Adam Pits, Angel D’lite,
Bliss Inc., Cromby, D. Tiffany & Dugong, DJ TEETH, Desire, Dylan Forbes, E-Talking, Eoin DJ, Frederik Tollund, Inner Zone, Kasper Marott, Lisene and Running Hot all contribute to a VA that represents the nexus point where multiple axes of the current club landscape converge. Futuristic neo-prog and razor-sharp tech house, heavy progressive rollers and massive dancefloor bombs, percussive acid workouts and lush, synth-driven HD prog, neo-trance vocal euphoria, feel-good house, dreamy breaks and UK rave nostalgia: It’s all here, colliding on a VA that explores the spaces inbetween and a vision of things to come.

100% of the profits from the VA and launch party go directly to Transgender
Europe and Mermaids, two organisations doing essential work supporting and
advocating for trans and non-binary youth in Europe and the UK.
