Side A encapsulates the psychedelic groove ridden dance floor focused styles of Abdul Raeva and Boulderhead.

The B-side showcases the more uplifting ‘light and airy’ side of Zobol’s melody enriched productions intertwined with Toke’s fully charged open/close/sunrise/sunset masterpiece.

A ton of hardware, software, technical expertise and musical flare combined with hours of practice have been funneled into this next blend of which I thoroughly hope you enjoy. I hope it helps bring joy and love into the much needed dance floors of our post-pandemic society.

Thank you to all the artists involved.

V/A - Mineral Cuts 02 (Snippets)

The inaugural release of p.istol is introduced by Biodive, who sets the tone with his four track “Limpet Minds’ EP, written in the depths of lockdown from the producer's location in Cape Town. 



NAFF label head Priori contributes a hard-hitting remix of the title track, apt for the early hours and timed to perfection as the world slowly escapes the monotony of pandemic life.  

The b-side plays host to two versions of the thought-provoking 'Infinite Lifetimes', a blissful journey through electronic euphoria.

PIST001 // Biodive - Limpet Minds EP (w/ Priori Remix)

cytokinesis
/ˌsʌɪtə(ʊ)kʌɪˈniːsɪs/
 
noun:
the cytoplasmic division of a cell at the end of mitosis or meiosis, bringing about the separation into two daughter cells.
 
The Space Between Us is proud to present the latest breakthrough in cell division, a most exciting advancement in the field of molecular biology. Meet - the Cytokinesis EP by Axon Growth Factor @axongrowthfactor. Cell division is a natural occurrence, yet the creation of this release was an undertaking that will leave even the smartest brains in a state of perplexity. Often mistaken for binary fission, the process of the production of these tracks was a sensitive exercise in the fibre of dance… executed with precision.
 
What began as experimentation via hardware-driven analogue jams, elements have been chopped, fine-tuned and formulated specifically for use on the dance floor. Meticulously designed to stimulate your central nervous system, the Cytokinesis EP signals the start of a new cellular generation through an all-new sonic experience.
 
Opener, Batch C is a balearic blend of trance, trippy minimal percussion and breaks. Primal drones and gated leads offset the rigidly sequenced percussion. All elements are pulled into line with a sneaky breakbeat switch-up, echoed by a euphoric pad which carries the listener through a barrage of deep four-to-the-floor tribal grooves.  
 
Cytokinesis teases a hazy yet uplifting prog-electro workout. Dub infused SFX and drones remain constant throughout, whilst playful melodic motifs and sparkling lead sequences sweep effortlessly over a foundation of wobbly yet focussed sub bass and stimulating electro rhythms. 
 
Oxidative stress meticulously combines dizzying percussion, screaming bass-lines and metallic synth riffs into a high-octane, bass-focused electro melter specifically designed for the club. Sluggish breaks carefully weave in and out of focus, momentarily aligning to the mobilising electro rhythms and undulating subs that lay beneath.
 
Mooro/Perth-based Guy Contact / @guycontact facilitates a mutation of the EP opener, Batch C. With a wonky acid bassline and a pulsating rhythm, it’s primed for a hazy late-night warehouse soundsystem. 
 
Naarm/Melbourne-based Escape Artist / @escapeartistaus offers a contrasting reinterpretation of the title track, Cytokinesis. A club-focussed, no frills, euphoric blue-sky trance stomper, the listener is left in a perfect state of bliss and wonderment.

CKNOWEP44 | Fader Cap - Club Telepathy EP incl. Shedbug Remix

Esteemed proponent of outré dancefloor manoeuvres, Superconscious Records co-founder Fantastic Man makes his Kalahari debut proper.

Having shown up for rework duties on a couple of occasions, we find the mutable oddball at his most trippy and esoteric. In fact, OYSTER42 is the handiwork of a producer who has his formula of balmy, lysergic dance music down to an exact science.

‘Alltogethernow’ gets on a swaggering cosmic tip, all sub-loaded and celestial as levitational arpeggios and funked-up groove dovetail to mesmeric effect. ‘Alpha’, on the other hand, takes a vision quest through enchanted jungle terrain. Initiating with a hypnotic ritual chant, it’s tunnelling and murkily psychedelic; occulted dancefloor rapture tailor-made for the wormhole interior.

As if it were some artefact from a distant ‘90s utopia, Bioxy’ evokes a time when warehouse parties littered the Melbourne landscape. Where its predecessor evokes ceremony and ritual, this is an anachronistic, dilated flashback to simpler times. FM kicks it languid and life-affirming on the closing number. Radiant synth lines flutter with a gentle headiness as ‘Trojan Force’ takes us full circle with a reprise of the rainforest FX.

I Like (G.N.L. 80s DJ Mix Down)

The third outing on Felt Sense Recordings once again comes via label head Louis Marlo. Quality over quantity is FSR's approach, nailing each release with a blend of high-grade dance music.

FLTSNS003 is no exception.

Who Wants Alchemy? straddles Electro, IDM, and Techno across the 5 track 12". Sliding 808's, glistening melodies, and process-driven electronics - all rounded off by a stellar remix by 2020's man in demand, Lou Karsh.

A man of many aliases and jack of as many trades, Dominic Glynn aka Syzygy (together with Justin McKay) aka Zentik aka Fluid aka Mind Control aka Luke Warmwater resurfaces from the sunken slumber of years to re-establish his name as a much unsung artisan and key exponent of the UK electronic scene’s heyday.

Two unreleased tracks and another two enhanced re-edits compose the “Tri-Phase” EP here presented - each cut making for a snapshot of Glynn’s fast evolution as an electronic music producer, a career he was then running in parallel to his day work for the BBC including all-time TV classic series Doctor Who.

Starting with the yet unheard ‘Little Pieces of Love’, Syzygy provides us with a dynamic trancey roller that does the splits between hectic 303-riddled leads, catchy vocal hooks sheer old-school style and generously layered FXs extending the scope to further horizon-clearing soulfulness.

Drawing towards more muscular, club-ready techno linearity, ‘Luminous 4AM’ reveals an explosive combo of driving momentum, melodic richness and high-impact bass engineering, tailored to take the rave to a whole other level of consciousness. No-holds-barred floor weaponry set for tearaway peak-time ops.

Initially released on No Bones in the 90s, the other two cuts ‘And It’s Wonderful’ as Luke Warmwater and ’The Man With Three Heads’ as Fluid boast a distinct style. Whilst the first rushes us headfirst into a bumpy maelstrom of chromed techno fitted with an array of acid-drenched attributes and Chicagoan piano tropes, the latter has us zoning out to a playful reverie of trip-hop-laced, ambientoid jazz-house.

Syzygy vs Luke Warmwater vs Fluid - The Tri-Phase EP (OYSTER29 - Snippets)  - OUT NOW!
