Galtier enters for his fifth instalment on his own label with ‘Opaque Envelopes’; an exploration of frequency and tilted sound processing across four slick, mid-tempo creations. Having leant heavily into hardware-focused productions, Galtier has refined his use of raw, one-take recordings and hand-crafted audio inflections, carving out a space dripping with feedback channels, aggressive modulation and dense, weighty sub bass, the collection makes for a set of highly functional, warehouse-ready rollers.

The EP carries itself along a subtle, evolutionary line, where Galtier hones in on transient, shifting soundscapes of rich, searing synthetics, all glued together with tight, syncopated rhythms that channel dubstep and electro. The intention is for each piece to sound alive; teeming with a life of its own, full of personality and vitality that breathes throughout. A significantly mature body of work that encapsulates the decade and a half journey into sound that he has embarked on.

Premiere: Atrice & Klahrk - You’ve Changed (Plasma Sources)

Flower B’s debut album, Locked-In, will be out on April 11th, 2025 on a super-limited edition cassette, featuring 8 industrial club tracks. Locked up like cells in a frame, when the comic strips become reality, we all dance together for a better holiday. 
Today, in particular, every phone call, browser bug or garden neon sign literally says a lot about the world we live in. How do you feel when roads change density? Could we find ourselves on a map? Manipulating waveforms and envelopes like a physio, disrupting social communication channels to offer a spectrum on which to dance, this is why we love so much the wobbly music of dark rooms in off-plan apartments, which sway you like stellar objects. 
Based in France, Flower B seeks to transform noise and frequencies into dark drums like strong words, syllables cooking in a microwave oven. Inspired by techno, bass, dubstep and ghetto music, the album is an ode to transformation. To be released this spring on Big Science Records in a super-limited edition. Pre order now!

Early Reflex proudly presents 63N3RD [EYX021] introducing a bold new voice in experimental club music and the debut from biased, producer and DJ based between Milan and New York City.

63N3RD is a deeply personal project, written over a year while living in NYC, the EP draws from 16 years of clubbing experiences and biased's love for mixing and playing diverse sounds. It blends the unconventional with the danceable, capturing what he describes as "something you might not expect to sound good together, but somehow it does”.

The opener ‘K:umbia’ is a bold reinterpretation of cumbia rhythms, layered with experimental electronic textures and basslines that nod to his eclectic influences.

Following the launch of the Eyes series, Early Reflex welcomes back Ikävä Pii for “Eyes II”, the second entry in this exploratory two-tracker format. 

Possibly the darkest tracks Ikävä Pii has produced to date, ‘False Binaries Fight for Primacy’ and ‘Permaweird’ are two detailed and twisted club tunes, encapsulating the perennial state of frustrated urgency of our times. 
Uneasy feelings are conveyed in both tracks, and refracted through the artist’s signature playful approach.
False Binaries Fight for Primacy is driven by the eerie ambiguity of its major/minor harmony, and a relentless rhythmic section that nods to post-punk as much as the track’s distorted, shouty vocals. The unsettling main theme of Permaweird is hinged on an alteration of the Locrian mode (often deemed the “weirdest” mode), and its timbre, albeit recalling familiar patches from the Process Fatigue era, here paints a much darker picture. 
Topical and heartfelt, these tracks update Ikävä Pii’s sound with an uncanny mutation, material for a standout moment in a club set. Already secret weapons in Ikävä Pii’s live show for nearly a year, they’ve left heads spinning on dancefloors in UK, Europe and beyond, and now find their proper home on Early Reflex.

Ikävä Pii said:
“What’s the purpose of club music in a climate where alienation is the norm and outdated narratives are collapsing?
We live in the permaweird: reality gets increasingly absurd, and yet we adapt to it every day.
Nothing to fight for: digital vs physical, liberal left vs authoritarian right, old vs young - just false binaries. There must be another way. 
In the meantime, activate punk mode, shout in the mic, use stranger scales. 
The only real binary is rich vs non-rich (and that’s what clubs should be about).
Thanks Venkatesh Rao and David Rudnick for the inspiration.”

‘Eyes II’ is available on all platforms starting from Friday 2nd May 2025.

Ikävä Pii - False Binaries Fight for Primacy

traverse is proud to announce the release of its first record - a compilation of six tracks from various artists, inspired by Pembroke King’s poem moving silhouettes, written for this occasion.

As the fourth volume of the compilation series “traversée”, moving silhouettes encourages artists to explore all corners of listening music and creative avenues that aren’t tied to any one convention.

Pembroke King’s poem sheds light on the mood of the compilation, and even though each artist brings its own interpretation of it, there is a beautiful harmony of it all - from Kate Miller’s atmospheric sounds to Teqmun’s drums-made-of-rain-drop-recordings or Ghjuliú’s nostalgic melodies, the listener travels around Pembroke’s words with each track.

As our first physical release, we feel honoured to collaborate with artists who have been involved in a way or another on traverse before such as Officium, Mika Oki and Alohn, but Kate Miller, Teqmun, and Ghjuliú, that we’ve been keeping close to our heart for a long time already.

𝖕𝖗𝖊𝖒𝖎𝖊𝖗𝖊#390 📢 Jan Loup - Temptation [CRTTR]

We are very excited to welcome scud to All Centre for his debut solo release. The Essex-born, London-based DJ, producer and co-head-honcho of 3 Swords Republic makes his mark with two tracks of tripped-out dancefloor chaos.

The title track brings us into a heady atmosphere with a spaced-out drone, machinic fx and clipped percussion. Crashing breaks give way to heavy subweight, a glitched vocal hook and a modulating bassline - straddling the line between DnB energy and a heads-down low tempo feel.

On the flip, etos_atos adopts a dancehall-inspired groove which furiously swings with driving subs and nimble percussion. A siren-pitched, stuttering vocal warps over heavy, propulsive percussion, conjuring a chaotic sonic atmosphere anchored firmly to the floor by bass-heavy kicks.

Hip flesk is available across all digital platforms from June 20th.
