The producer best known as Huerco S. accompanies One Day, our record of the year, with two hours of minimal and dub introspections.

This summer, Kansas-raised DJ and producer Brian Leeds released One Day under his revived Loidis alias. Enamoured with the restrained, loopy sounds of early '00s dance music, the album’s eight tracks linger in the air, luxuriating in dubbed-out chords, swung beats and sub vibrations. It's our favourite record of 2024 for a reason. 

It's a sound he's coined, in his typically teasing fashion, "dub mnml emo tech." All winks aside, it’s no wonder One Day became the soothing balm we all needed. In a scene overwhelmed by hard and fast trends, the softer—and Leeds might argue, more sincere—stylings of minimal and dub techno enjoyed a welcome second wind. 

Not only was One Day one of our favourites of the year (more on that this week), but it also inspired us to break our usual no-repeats rule, inviting Leeds back to the RA Podcast under a different alias after his 2019 turn as Huerco S. 

"The prevailing trends in dance music are more and more maximalist," Leeds noted. "I missed restraint, subtlety, and sensuality." Clocking in at just under two hours, RA.965 embodies that ethos in spades.

"the records and music have been around for most of the time. i live with them, they travel with me. we’re close. they’re tools, tools for building. they build relationships between me and strangers, and deepen bonds between me and people who are already close to me. in a space is sound; a physical sound built with a picture and a shape, and the records are the tools that look and sound and feel like a space. i find them in buildings. they keep people together."

Up next on Brooklyn’s Scissor & Thread is the latest EP from @Snad, aka Shyam Anand (also known as Spandrel), the Berlin-based artist whose discography already spans labels like Smallville, Minibar, 20:20 Vision, Phonica AM, TerraFirm, Running Back, Cabinet, Kimochi and Dungeon Meat with remixes for names including Seafoam and Chez Damier. 

A trusted selector and producer in the underground, Snad has steadily built a reputation for deeply considered productions that balance classic inspiration with his own forward-thinking edge.

The AM Yard EP opens with its title track, a warm, hazy cut rooted in the kind of bassline architecture that recalls Chez n Trent’s Morning Factory but reshaped with Snad’s signature dreamlike touch. 

Anticip8 fanchors the release with a more direct energy, rolling, insistent and focused on the floor, balancing stripped-down drive of dusty samples wrung through his digitakt with just enough harmonic flourish to pull the listener inward. 

On the flip, The Pursuit follows in a slightly different mode, drawing on experimental vocoder techniques and filtered percussion creating a hypnotic push-and-pull that feels as intricate as it is understated.

Rounding things out, label heads Francis Harris and Anthony Collins, under their Frank & Tony alias, reimagine The Pursuit with their Housebeat Remix, extending its atmospherics into an even deeper headspace that glides effortlessly into late-night territory.

Big Bells Records continues its mission of delivering forward-thinking underground sounds with Mobius, the new EP from Chicago-based producer Will Daley. Known for his deeply emotive approach to Progressive and Deep House, Daley has built an impressive catalog with releases on respected imprints such as Balkan Connection, Kitchen Recordings, and Future Avenue. With Mobius, he brings his signature touch of atmosphere and groove to the label, offering a two-track journey that is as introspective as it is dancefloor-ready.

Both songs "Mobius" and "Currents" immediately set the tone with a hypnotic drive, weaving evolving layers of synth textures over a steady, pulsating rhythm. The progression feels infinite, reflecting the track's namesake, as shimmering melodies rise and dissolve in seamless cycles. This is a cut that balances depth with forward momentum, perfect for late-night sets where subtle energy and emotional resonance take center stage.

With Mobius, Will Daley further cements his reputation as a producer who can seamlessly merge storytelling, emotion, and rhythm. This EP is a testament to his craft—music that invites listeners to get lost in its layers while keeping DJs equipped with versatile tracks for deep, melodic, and progressive moments.

Big Bells Records adds another gem to its catalog, and Mobius is set to resonate strongly with fans of quality Progressive House worldwide.
