Spectral Bounce’s fifth instalment comes courtesy of L.A.’s rave archivist and dancefloor operative Dreams, A.K.A. Jesse Pimenta. Throughout his decade-long career the California native has inspected, dissected and concocted all manner of dance musics, leaving his mark with drops on Apron Records, Pinkman, BANK NYC and his own imprint Dance Data. On SPEC05 — Dangerous When Wet — he hijacks the synapses with 4 accomplished productions, plotting a high BPM course through manifold styles using the raw aesthetic that characterises his output.

“Losing Control” is a frenetic dancefloor invitation, immediately locking into a pacing groove. Beneath wild hand drums, Dreams plays with an insistent 303 bassline alternating between rasping buzz and oily squelch, while stern vocals are layered on top of breaks that have been processed to a viscerally satisfying end.

Taking things from delirious dance circle to underwater biosphere, the EP’s eponymous track explores a submerged 1980s Miami. Weighty & enveloping, “Dangerous When Wet” is pure aquatic pop-n-lock — hydraulic electro for a drowned world. Ocean floor caustics are transmuted into auditory form: arpeggios bubble up; drones shimmer mystically; hi-hats hiss like air from an open valve. Amongst the sonar bleeps, a barrage of pummeling low-end is sure to give subwoofers a workout.

“XTC Messenger” delivers an infectious paranoid dispatch, astutely balancing the sensual with the deranged. A slow-mo dial tone unfolds languidly, running counter to nervously twitching high frequencies. Its punchy percussion is tuned for maximum dopamine release; the track’s abrupt vocal chops and mechanical kick-snare pulsation evoke the leather jackets and jagged edges of 1980s industrial discotheque.

“Pressure Points” closes the EP on a heady and mesmerising polymetric trip. The parting track is a lithe yet spacious number, propelled by a rattling break. Here Dreams follows from track 2, creating an immersive environment in which sounds tightly twist and twirl. Shifting oscillators call out like tiny creatures as the bass throbs and wriggles further into your brain, long after the needle hits the runout groove.

P&P002 | Shjva - Northern Lights (12" Vinyl)

Welcome to Jamming Is Life, a new imprint embodying the spirit of improvisation, spontaneity, and emotional expression through sound. 

For the first release I’ve selected four of my tracks to set the mood for what I have in mind for this imprint: 
Chasing the mystery in music, the unexplainable, while keeping it fresh and clubby. I’m not big on promo texts, but truly hope this music will find a way to speak to you.  

Limited to 300 vinyl only copies, no repress.

Eversines - Rocket Science (JIL001)

Junction Forest introduces the first record of the night series, because mushrooms at night, glow differently.

Artist: Alvar @ekkeltype
Title: Moon Ritual

Vinyl only, release March 2025
Distirbution: Small Back Dots

Thank you for your continuous support, it means a lot!

Alvar - Moon Ritual [NIGHT001]

Presenting: Archives One

I'm starting a series of Bandcamp releases, digging up some old tracks from the vaults that would otherwise never see the light of day. 
First up: Five clubby, no nonsense tracks, simply honest jams - previously appeared in some of my mixes or live sets. If you'd like to support my music more directly, this is a nice way of doing so :)
