We are happy to share with you our next VA, welcoming 4 new artists on the label.

The EP opens with an entrancing track by our friend Omar, characterized by its groovy and punchy nature. After witnessing DJ Koolt's electrifying performance of this track at our event in collaboration with BFC in Doka last year, we simply couldn't pass up the opportunity to release it on vinyl.

Following "Loophole" by Eversines, an electrifying track that catches you off guard and refuses to release its grip. Its tension steadily mounts, amplified by its playful melodies.

On the B-side, we have Dynamic Wave, better known for their releases on Nature Records and Disturbance, with "Spectroid," a captivating electro track. It's a mellow track characterized by its gated vocoder-like synths and a smooth, unwavering bassline.

The closing track by Enrica sets a serene and ethereal atmosphere with its ambient, dreamy melodies and gentle, slow-tempo rhythm.

After many years of dedication, devotion and hard work behind the scenes we are happy to share the first album ever released on vinyl by the Wedding Acid Group.

This musical odyssey consists of 8 meticulously crafted tracks, created between 2010 and 2021, representing over a decade of evolution and growth. Each song showcases a unique facet of the trio's musical prowess, with tempos ranging from 100 to 150 bpm.

Disc 1 serves as a testament to the signature sounds of WAG, kicking off with the iconic and mesmerizing dark break journey "Toy Story" at 150 bpm. The energy continues to soar with the pulsating beats of "Colombo Acid" and "Low Moisture Acid," both guaranteed to ignite dance-floors worldwide. The first disc comes to a close with "Lost Memory FM," a true sonic adventure that starts in the abstract, gradually building up to the trademark dance-floor groove that the trio is renowned for.

Disc 2 delves into the introspective and emotive side of WAG's production process. "Optimistic Acid," the sole 4/4 track on the second record, enchants listeners with its rhythmic grooves and dreamy melodies, setting the stage for a captivating journey. "Sunday Circles" takes a detour into deeper realms with its evocative and playful melodies. The final side of the album delves even deeper into emotional territory with "Dog Park Memories," culminating in the breathtaking closing track, "City Gate Funk."

We are humbled and honoured to present this remarkable work by our dear friends, the Wedding Acid Group. As the second album to grace the shelves of Undersound Recordings.

Periferico is back after his first release in 2023 with a very special 5 tracker EP. All the tracks were produced between 1998 and 2009 and we were able to recover them from old DATs. While the A side is written and produced entirely by Livio, the B side was co-produced with Luigi Mussi showcasing the first 2 drum&bass tracks ever released on Undersound Recordings.

The EP opens with Sixth Event (2004), a slow, hypnotic track with a trance-infused, syncopated disco vibe, making it perfect for 5am listening and setting a reflective mood. Car Ride (2009) is an acid slow-burner, characterised by classic Periferico chords and a mesmerising sequencer, offering a laid-back yet evolving energy that pulls you in. Twelve Dances (2009) stands out with its filtered chords, solid bass-line, and melancholic pad harmonies, creating an emotional depth that resonates. The B-side includes Cuts and Seamed (1998), a vintage drum & bass track with an experimental, dark vibe, adding intensity and unpredictability to the mix.

We are glad to welcome RDS (@0rds0) on board of our podcast series.

This podcast unfolds in four distinct yet seamlessly connected phases. It begins with off-kilter breakbeats, setting a playful and dynamic tone, before easing into a minimalist section defined by phasing rhythms and a hypnotic flow.

As club are shut, we thought we'd upload some recordings from our previous parties.

Here is an extract from @sohrab_dj 's 2 hour set at The Pickle Factory after an amazing 8 hours set by Onur Özer and Etienne in 2017.

Sohrab @ Undersound 5th Birthday - The Pickle Factory - March 2017

Following his debut release on kindred label Marginal Returns, Undersound is very happy to present a new EP by London-based producer and close friend @sohrab_dj. 

This EP showcases his wide ranging influences, with a diverse sound palette, while demonstrating his already-established personal aesthetic. 
The EP opens with “The Fool”, a steady four-to-the-floor track with esoteric eastern-tinged melodies, and continues with “Vertical Alignment”, a bassline-led emotional trip with interlocking evolving harmonies. 

The flip offers two contrasting moods: the rougher “Resolution”, a fast-paced late-night burner, and “Digital Bliss”, whose soothing synths evoke old school Goa vibes.
