Back in the hot seat for the third release on his imprint Troubleshoot Recordings, is label boss @jonselbo. After a well-received debut on his label, Selbo puts forward a four-track EP combining a variety of club cuts ranging from snappy breaks to synth-heavy techno. The Cursor EP is a perfect demonstration of Selbo’s breadth of production skills and outlook on how he puts together an EP.

Opening the record, “Pixel Shift” sports a devilish square bass and atmospheric lead lines gelled together with tight breakbeats. Kicking things off with dancefloor euphoria during the breakdown as the main melody bubbles towards the surface.

Shortly after that strong start, “Falling” boasts a hooky vocal, floating pads, colossal stabs and syncopated percussion which help Selbo produce this up-tempo, peak-time club track ready for any dancefloor.

After wrapping up the A side, the title track “Cursor” commences with a cinematic intro that builds towards fast-paced, obnoxious breaks tied with an arpeggiated bassline, both topped with menacing 303 acid.

Closing the EP, Selbo stays in the fast lane with his track “Tubular”. Stripped back raw percussion-filled grooves accompanied with trancey chords and rave stabs set this one up to be a fan favourite. Subtle vocal samples littered throughout the track help to round off the EP with plenty of energy.

Following their first ‘DJ TOYS’ compilation, that was celebrated by DJ Mag, played at Berghain several times and drew support from DJs like Âme, Avalon Emerson, Barker, Baumecker and Ben Sims, queer feminist party collective and record label TOYS Berlin are back with their second ‘DJ TOYS’ installment. Representing the boundary-pushing sound spectrum of the TOYS universe, up-and-coming producers DAEDE, Eklekta, ASA 808, Jon Selbo, Jakob Mäder and OSO are transcending UK bass/garage, Trance and House in five forward-thinking underground gems.

This fast-paced, synth-driven track is a strong blend of energy and emotion. Troubleshoot Recordings co-founder Jon Selbo weaves together intricate layers of synthesized chords, driving baselines with ethereal vocal snippets that elevate the track, whilst adding layers of depth. With a tempo that relentlessly propels the listener forward, this song captures the essence of a night that refuses to end, embodying the euphoric highs and introspective lows of the club experience.
