Premiere: 1 - SY - Beyond Expectations [PE021]

exclusive | SY - Warehouse 92 | Physical Education

SY’s "Warehouse 92", nestled as the A2 track on his Metamorphosis EP released via Baldo’s Physical Education, is a nostalgic yet fresh dive into the golden era of rave. The Manchester-born, Portugal-based producer taps into his years of experience, crafting a piece that channels the raw energy of early ‘90s warehouse scenes while maintaining a contemporary edge.

Opening with driving percussion and a pulsating bassline, "Warehouse 92" wastes no time in setting a high-octane, dancefloor-focused tone. The track’s proggy undercurrent is enhanced by a subtly trance-infused melody, weaving through layers of atmospheric pads. The result is a symbiotic blend of gritty, old-school rave aesthetics and uplifting harmonics, striking a delicate balance between rawness and euphoria.

There’s an authenticity in SY's approach, as the track feels like a love letter to the underground warehouse culture of the early ‘90s, yet it doesn’t come off as mere nostalgia. The crisp, modern production ensures it resonates just as powerfully with today’s dancefloors. It’s easy to imagine "Warehouse 92" echoing off the concrete walls of a clandestine party, uniting ravers in a shared moment of melodic bliss.

Complementing the A-side opener "Beyond Expectations" and leading seamlessly into the B-side’s "Metamorphosis" and Paolo Mosca’s remix, "Warehouse 92" solidifies SY’s ability to bridge past and present. With his forthcoming release on Slump and continued leadership at E&X Records, SY proves that his evolution as an artist is far from complete. "Warehouse 92" is a reflection of his knack for reviving rave nostalgia while keeping the dancefloor firmly rooted in the now.

Bristol-based dancefloor provocateurs Down To Earth embark upon the maiden voyage of a newly-minted record label with the 'Analysis Paralysis EP' from co-founder Remotif. This debut release sets the stage for a new chapter for DTE by inviting listeners into their own sonic orbit, with aural manifestations weaved into being by members of the collective and its close friends.

Remotif’s first release in nearly a year, he’s spent this time patiently honing his sound, distilling the melodious rapture of previous releases into an altogether sleeker, darker concoction. The journey begins with the title track, a pulsating celebration of the feminine divine; barrelling rhythms and low-end heft coalesce with seductive vocal incantations for a kaleidoscopic climax.

Following this, 'Tinto Cringe' descends deeper into the lysergic rabbit hole. Muscular, driving kicks underpin celestial midrange ripples and razor sharp hi-hats, blending sonic complexity with understated danceability. As the EP progresses, 'The Frogs Are Back' shifts the energy with a slower, entrancing pace - ideal for moments when the dancefloor craves a deeper connection.

Rounding out the EP, DTE’s own Boulderhead gently brings dancers back to earth with a stripped back remix of 'Analysis Paralysis'. He dials back the intensity of the original with a cheeky wink and a nudge, deftly streamlining it with his trademark bouncy-yet-minimal aesthetic.
