Brussels-based imprint Maloca is proud to present percussive connoisseur Coen’s sophomore mini-album, Moshpit: an 8-track exploration where focus and intensity rules all. As the title suggests, the release marks a more abrasive turn after 2023’s Slop Drop & Roll.
 
Feeling like a new direction was needed for his second mini-album, Coen went back to his roots. There, the artist re-discovered a love for Slayer and the brutal, near out-of-control power found in thrash metal. Through this recapturing of his teenage years, he found his approach, developing methods for transposing the genre’s raw aesthetics into his stripped back, drum-forward sound.
 
The result is a listening experience dominated by double-time kicks, corroded walls of texture and a level of intensity not heard before in the London artist's work. Moshpit acts as an ode to Slayer and the brutal, relentless energy of thrash metal, taking the genre on a conceptual level and translating it into Coen’s universe. 

Despite this aesthetic turn, the album also stands as an evolution, rather than a revolution, from Coen. The orotund percussive tones and lethal high energy grooves of Headbanger and Roll Play are nods to 2023 standout Pressure Roll - weapon of choice for DJs across the spectrum including Bonobo, Bambounou, Ahadadream, Toumba & Lu Su.
 
Moshpit also sees Coen at his most concentrated, distilling what he does best down to its most vital and essential form. Each track bristles with a cinematic, metallic sheen and never feels too busy, with the artist getting the most from recordings of his studio’s collection of percussion instruments – with many of the textures on the album becoming distorted abstractions of drums found in it. 
 
The artwork, made by Coen himself, bristles with coarse texture, without becoming drowned in noise - an appropriate visual guide to the sonic landscape to be found in Moshpit.

POLAAR presents Kiritchenko « Rust Trust » — a debut EP that reimagines the legacy of IDM through a razor-sharp, jungle-laced lens.

Across four tracks at a restless 160BPM, Kiritchenko weaves intricate percussive patterns with sweeping melodic structures, channeling breakbeat science into something strikingly personal, balancing club pressure with abstract finesse. Destructured yet fluid, experimental yet deeply emotive, these are not tracks that follow formulas. They stretch, distort, and rebuild rhythm in unexpected ways, sketching out a sonic world where tension, harmony, and glitch coexist. Locked into his own frequency and after a brilliant release on PM+ (Peder Mannerfelt's label), Kiritchenko keeps on delivering sonic curiosities with precision and zero imitation.

OMOB (formerly Overthinker Mob) is rebooting—here to stay, and more committed than ever to probing and archiving the innovative fringes of culture.

“The Dance of All Creation” compiles a neo-Afrofuturist moodboard of music, visuals, and haptics. This release recruits a weighty international lineup of pioneering forces and sonic architects: Bloomfeld, DJ Lag, DJ Spit, Mafou, Mukuna, NVST, and State OFFF.

[As we further distract ourselves from our environment, we channel our collective intelligence into solving problems of our own design. Our intuition—once attuned to the endless cycle of transformation—fades, taking a backseat to progress. In our pursuit of control and dominance, we decrypt nature’s patterns, quantify its rhythm, mimic its choreography— all the while unlearning how to dance the dance ourselves. Figuratively and literally]

'Trigger·Response' is the third V/A released by Craquages and the first of their curation series, in which their residents share their own artistic vision. 
ergen101 made this project a space where artists could freely explore the intrinsic contradictions and connexions of themes like oppression & freedom, softness & harshness or trauma & resilience, through an experimental, deconstructed club (or not club) & bass aesthetic. It tells a story of humanity, of past experienced as present and how we can now act on it : Trigger & Response.

Beat Machine Records return with a percussive missive titled ‘Bantu’ that pairs local producer Maxwell Simons with the magnetic cadence of South African vocalist Richi Rich...On remix duties, ABADIR dives straight into the deep end with 'JOBURG'. His version plays like a lucid dream, cascading polyrhythms delve into outer orbit, while chopped vocal shards of Richi Rich hover like holographic spirits. By the time the amen breaks crash through, the track transmutes into something almost spiritual.
