Polytope first Polytope EP welcomes two wonder kids from the European bass music scene: the Brussels-based fa:act and Meli Mena from Paris. They have worked hard to deliver you a 6-track, club-ready opus, with a special collaboration and a remix by Maoupa Mazzochetti.

 "COUGH TWICE IF YOU CARE" explores the depths of the hardcore continuum with a special twist from these two talented artists: 

fa:act created two dancehall-inspired bangers with his iconic touch: "Wizard Bubble" and "Breeze and Riddim". 

 Meli Mena has produced two high-energy club gems with break influences and IDM resonances: "Hot Girls Get Sad" and "SideQuest Nap." 

 They both released the already famous 140 bpm club anthem "Dust Drip," which has destroyed many dancefloors all over the world. 

All these tracks got the Maoupa Mazzocchetti special analog treatment; he also gifted us with a strong remix of "SideQuest Nap" from our dear Meli Mena.

Order now.

PARULE - OFF SHORE EP
29.08.2025

Parule taps in with a five-track EP that explores different tempos and ventures into new sonic territories while maintaining some of his signature elements.

Stoned Squirrel opens the EP with a slow, head-nodding groove driven by a filtered acid hook and rattling percussions.
Off Shore follows as a stripped-back roller, evoking a hypnotic, submerged atmosphere.
Chants nods to Parule’s earlier work—fast-paced electro that dances between breakbeats and squelching acid lines.
Laufbahn is stripped down, raw and agonizing. Like running in circles with a broken foot.
Fujiyama pushes into the 160 BPM realm, weaving in lyrics and vocal textures from ŽEN's "Lov na crne tipke", a track Parule obsessed over throughout the past year.

Mastered by Amir Buzubayev (aka KRITECHNO)
Mangled percussion samples mostly from Ondekoza.
Lyrics and Voices in "Fujiyama" by ŽEN.

PREMIERE: Parule - Chants [Vienna's Filthiest]

With head-splitting drum work and unflinchingly unique sound design, Melbourne-based Hedchef emerges from the kitchen brandishing 'Chewing Tinfoil EP' - a five-track, electro-infused descent into dance floor chaos.

May cause bleeding gums.

Hedchef - Chewing Tinfoil EP (Preview)

Brisbane collective Apparatus teams up with Wales producer Aloka for a two-track EP born from a few drizzly days in the city. Not exactly what you’d expect when swapping Wales for palm trees, but the rain kept the crew indoors and turned downtime into a writing session. The result is a snapshot of international collaboration in a city that’s been quietly exporting talent, while building its own stubbornly DIY identity at home.

Bluetongue ; A squelchy, deep, and slightly wonky piece of left-field techno with a sprinkling of latin drums. It moves at 150bpm but trades in weight and atmosphere rather than straight functionality, its warped textures drawing on the blue-tongue lizard living under the verandah of the house where Aloka was staying.

𝙅𝙖𝙙𝙚 𝙥𝙧𝙚𝙢𝙞𝙚𝙧𝙚 : Tefi - LeLe [JAD037]

@phasmidmusic x @vitaaline

French producer @vitaaline delivers Lost in the Swell, a seven-track EP built for the floor.

Written between studio sessions and club sets over eight months of experimentation, the record reflects her hybrid identity — both as a producer and DJ — moving between techno, bass, breakbeat, and percussive club sounds with precision and drive.

The goal was to experiment while staying rooted in a club spirit — playful, energetic, and physical. Each track is built around movement and unpredictability, designed to keep the body engaged while leaving room for freedom and tension. A functional yet expressive toolset for selectors working across hybrid tempos and percussive frameworks.

Remixes come from Doctor Jeep, Phasmid, and Brodinski — three artists whose work has directly influenced Vitaline’s path. Phasmid, founder of Taipan Trax, reinterprets On-shore with the raw swing and tension characteristic of his label. Brodinski, one of the first artists who sparked her connection with electronic music, turns Wild Card into a deeper, trap-inflected cut, shifting the focus toward atmosphere and space. Doctor Jeep, a precise and versatile sound technician, reworks Air-Reverse with detailed rhythm architecture and weight control.

Lost in the Swell marks a defining chapter in Vitaline’s trajectory — a focused and physical statement of intent, crafted for DJs exploring the balance between impact and experimentation.
