Belfast collective Spilt Milk Rekords are set to release their jam packed 22 track Various Artist compilation in aid of PIPS Hope & Support, highlighting the power of the creative community in Ireland.

Spilt Milk Rekords, the crew behind MINDS have been an advocate for Mental Health in the city for over three years, but with the closure of clubs and no longer able to raise money through events, the crew has come together to produce a genre-merging V/A - combining their passion for collaboration, mutual aid and community spirit. 

Today, we premiere one of the excellent tracks from the compilation, as we feature Belfast native and rising star, MATHESON, who's track 'Portal' is part of the mouthwatering 22 track compilation, featuring a whole host of Irish DJs and producers, who have all donated their music to this great charity.

The issue of mental health in Northern Ireland is a complicated one, the multi-generational trauma brought on by the troubles, coupled with years of austerity have resulted in a complex and struggling system. The pandemic has also led to an increase in feelings of hopelessness, with isolation and uncertainty often over-shadowing signs of progress. At times, however, conflict can inspire, unite, and while there is a long way to go, some collectives continue to put one small step forward despite having one of the toughest years of our lives.

You can check out MATHESON's track 'Portal' via our SoundCloud page, plus pick up and support the full MINDS V/A here: https://spiltmilkmusic.bandcamp.com/album/minds-v-a

One of the early R&S Records releases, and a landmark release that saw the Belgian label begin a long association with the UK techno pioneer, Dave Angel’s ‘1st Voyage’ EP is released digitally for the first time.  Remastered from the original DAT tapes, Angel’s 1991 release still cuts a prodigious sound.

As legend has it, whilst ‘shopping’ tracks to labels, Dave Angel was tipped off by friend (and later boss of the legendary V Recordings drum & bass imprint) Bryan Gee, who sent him in the direction on Renaat Vandepapeliere and his fledgling R&S record label.  From this burgeoning relationship, Angel was introduced to the Antwerp based producer C.J. Bolland, who was already one of the first record producers to be signed to R&S, and out of this meeting the ‘1st Voyage’ EP took shape. With Bolland on programming duties, as well as co-producing two tracks, the collaboration served up what can now be considered as some of the finest early techno productions from Europe, and tracks that enjoyed heavy rotation at clubs and raves globally.  Angel and Bolland both went on to enjoy (and continue to enjoy) illustrious careers in electronic music, with enviable music catalogues behind them!

Physical Therapy is back and he means business. After several years of carefully curated drops he’s throwing caution to the wind—and beats on the floor—with no less than 12 releases slated for the Allergy Season label over 2023. A plethora of music for the attention-span recession. The singles run the gamut of speeds and sounds, with exciting collabs and the return of some of our favorites aliases.

First off is “Brick,” a big, bright, piano basher in two versions: the “Breaking Mix,” a flanged-out. breakbeat house jam, and the “Driving Mix,” a stripped-back sunrise techno stunner. A pair of surefire tools for every DJ’s stick.

The second part of 2020’s ‘Converge - Part I’, a body of music which saw enthusiastic responses from the likes of Surgeon, Lauren Flax, DJ Bone, Anthony Parasole and Jus-Ed to name just a few, sees the Berlin-based DJ/Producer and dancer generously expand on and refine his slick vision of techno on one of electronic music’s key labels.

By encompassing warm and soulful textures within club focussed grooves, Hester continues to explore the far reaches of both the musical cues picked up from his years as a dancer and formative time spent in the Midwest US, connecting influences from Chicago, Minneapolis, and Detroit.

Stretched across a double LP, the album opens with the spacious and icy ‘Stealth’ followed by the machine communications of ‘Artificial Intelligence’. The B-side sees a whirlwind of the synthetic in ‘Instant’ before ‘Contact’ swiftly picks up the pace with it’s warbling pads and slippery percussion.

On the second disc, ‘Circadian Slip’, custom-built for dancefloor pandemonium, continues with off-kilter leads and vocal snippets before ‘Shadows’ brings eerie syncopation to the proceedings. In the final stretch, ‘Silver’ maintains steady energy into the twilight hours, and the gorgeous ‘Wonder’ closes out the LP beautifully, providing a soft landing to an exceptional journey through Hester’s sound.
