Dam Swindle's Wanderist returns to Aus Music with club-ready three tracker, Imagine 

The Dutchman's third EP for the label blends breakbeats and house rhythms into fulsome electronic soundscapes  

Wanderist is the solo project of Maarten Smeets, half of the influential Dam Swindle duo. With that project and their Heist Recordings label, Smeets has spent the last decade-plus touring the world's best clubs and festivals and cooking up timeless house sounds across a wide spectrum of sub-genres. Earlier this year, they dropped their third full-length Open, which was a personal deep dive into a range of melancholic, ethereal sounds that often veered away from the dance floor and into lush home-listening. 

This new EP finds Smeets back in club mode and tapping into personal inspirations, from dreamy electro to dubby techno. Following his previous two outings on this label in 2020 and 2021 - which picked up support across the board from tastemakers like Len Faki, Anastasia Kristensen, Josh Wink and Luke Slater plus plays on BBC Radio 1, Ibiza Sonica and many more - he taps into fresh rhythms and a futuristic energy that moves body and mind. 

Opener 'Imagine' has shimmering synth work bringing scale to crisp, well-programmed broken beats. Careful, tender synth sequences layer in unresolved suspense while refracted vocal fragments and glitchy textures push into an otherworldly space. 'Wait' is a speedy cut built on deft but kinetic broken beats with a free-roaming bassline leading up to the stars. It's an immersive sound with lush layers of synths and cascading arps all dragging you into their orbit. 'Just a Groove' maintains the momentum with sparkling chords and urgent, cantering drums. Progressive melodies glow while the most subtle of trance chords hint at old school hands-in-the-air euphoria. 

Wanderist's 'Imagine EP' arrives on 19th September.

Set within a kaleidoscope of uplifting pianos, soaring harmonies, and infectious rhythms, label head Mike Nasty returns to Nasty Tracks with ‘Sketches in Deep’, a musical experience that beams with joy and delivers endless listening pleasure…

Mike Nasty’s sound is as quintessential as it is effortlessly dynamic, and it draws from sources of vitality that cross multiple threads of expression. His passion draws from multiple facets, with his DJing style and music-making outputs matching each other in terms of depth and diversity. Anchored firmly within the genre of House, he aims to explore many of the genre’s core fundamentals, with a particular focus on injecting Jazz motifs in all the right places. To say that his musical universe is unlimited is perhaps an understatement - it is perhaps easier to say that his music feels boundless, coated in an ethereal quality that makes each track simmer with feel and meaning as he criss-crosses between genres with joyous ease. At the core of each of his records reside a series of memories, experiences, and stories, with Mike’s flair for instrumentation providing plenty for which to delve within and be immersed within the music’s engrossing atmospheres.

A 4-track EP from Bay Area producer Mesmerist, who runs the label Dionysian Mysteries.
A brief transmission of auditory memoirs, the release captures moments of euphoria, tension, and reflection in equal measure.

“Boriqua Drip” kicks things off with a ravey, pumping break that gives way to a sassy acid riff at its core. “Festival Girlfriend” follows with wavey, optimistic energy — a track that nudges the listener upward into a cloud of warmth and new beginnings.

Next up, “All My Homies Negentropic” channels a Depeche Mode–style electronic drive with a post-punk edge, gritty yet melodic. The closer, “Tek 3000,” is the oddball of the bunch — a lust-fueled cut built around stripped-back trance elements and hypnotic, heady vocal stutters.
A compact but vivid statement from Mesmerist, weaving together dancefloor energy and introspective depth in equal measure.

Released via Duas Quadras, the EP offers DJs and listeners alike two powerful tools—both deeply rooted and infinitely transportive.

Every motion leaves an echo.
A delay so small it feels like memory,
folding back into what made it.

Some parts of us cancel out — out of phase, out of step —
while others ring louder,
resonant at their point of friction.

The closer we listen,
the more we hear the shape of time itself:
not in repetition, but in resistance.

Turn the gain high enough,
and every system...  afficher plus

Just a few years into their career, CLOUDS have already been playlisted and supported by some of the most respected heavyweights in electronic music. At 21 and 22, these Scottish prodigies have already developed a sound that has made fans out of Richie Hawtin, The Chemical Brothers, Marcel Dettmann, Michael Mayer, Sven Vath, Chris Liebing, Boys Noize and Martin Gore - a cross-section that reflects the range, quality and inventiveness of their music. All this attention through a rapid-fire succession of four singles on Tiga's Turbo Recordings. But these were mere club bombs: now the kids have grown up.
TURBO presents their debut album – GHOST SYSTEMS RAVE – an immersive 14-track journey into the heart of Techno's Future. This record should put CLOUDS in the ranks of the elite UK techno vanguard. Comparisons to the work of Blawan, Zomby, Actress are justifiable and inevitable. What is critical - and hopefully obvious to the careful listener - is that none of this is derivative. That these connections will be made simply speaks to the level of artistry on display, as opposed to any specific tricks, sounds or motifs. Wherever they try their hand, they find an original way forward. For instance, when they take on HARDCORE on the awesome FUTURE 1 and FUTURE 2, it is their own private resurrection of the spirit nexus heyday of early 90s UK jungle and techno, a historic time that also literally birthed both Liam and Calum. This is the sound of rave's undertow, dredging up toxic grit and grime, as well as beautiful shards and glimmers.
Almost nothing on this record is obvious. The melodies never resolve. The vocals are consistently unintelligible. The drums are at once dirty, punchy, and repetitive, but never too abrasive to put you off. The bass growls. Textures breathe, brush, grate and glisten. Everything sounds as though it exists in an alien world of impossible dimensions, complete with its own physics, logic and secrets. 
This record is more than fully formed. It's perfect. Made in a few weeks of total isolation in a barn in Scotland by two kids with a laptop and total conviction. Welcome to the FUTURE. It's theirs.

Ghost Systems Rave

Clouds - Future 1

Turbo Recordings was founded by Tiga in Montreal back in 1998. In addition to launching his own career, the label has been integral in the success of acts like Chromeo, Gesaffelstein, Duke Dumont and most recently, ANNA & Charlotte de Witte. Core talent includes ZZT (Tiga's collaboration with Zombie Nation), Jori Hulkkonen, BETON, Clouds, Harvard Bass, Pilo, Shaded, Dimitri Veimar and a host of new young producers in genres ranging from pure techno, electro, and house to pop. The list of artists who have released music on the label is a veritable 'who's who' of top-level talent spanning a broad musical range, and this, along with a commitment to beautiful design, has earned the label respect in the industry and a cult following among fans. 

“We started out singing into plastic bags and shipping them to stores as quickly as possible. Later, we discovered that vinyl sounds way better when delivered by kayak. I learned so much the first few years…Now, as I look towards the future, I can envision music for poor people, sonic odors for the hearing impaired, even MP3s for women....Vroom, sucka!” says Tiga, the lyrical lampsman lighting the way down Dance Avenue.
