Junction Forest is a new label operated by Junction Records Store, out of Seoul. The first release is from our associate Tim a.k.a S.O.N.S and is a trance 3-tracker with a few twists. 
It is titled after an (in)famous forest in the middle of Seoul, straightforwardly called... Seoul Forest. 

Some words from S.O.N.S about the release:

So I got some complains about my last album, reportedly containing no danceable tracks, 
"I tried to play it out and everybody left" said one angry customer. "I thought it sounded fine but it clears the floor 100%" wrote another one.

Well this time I took a different approach.

On the A side, you get Tteuggeopge (meaning "Hot" in Korean) - it's a mixture of acid techno and psy-trance breakdowns, with some vocal samples taken from an old Korean movie, a jazz intro and a long 9.09minutes build up (figures are never chosen randomly) which I hope won't let the dancefloor unmoved - if you dare to play it! 
On the flip you get the ambient version... no! I was joking! you get 2 other trance tracks
Psychic Link is a mixture of Hard & Goa Trance sounds with breakbeats samples & a surprising deep tribal interlude in the middle to cool down the room for a minute. 
And finally Snow White And The Seven Mushrooms is an angry bad tripping tribute to 90s progressive house sounds. Like if Robin S took too much acid and is haunted by some supernatural creatures.

After another long hiatus, BEAM is excited to present the vinyl debut from rising star and nebulous neurocranker, al dente. Over 4 tracks, ‘Running and Falling Over’ captures the stylistic fluidity we have come to know and love from Naarm/Melbourne. Ever present traces of Dozzy refract through millennium-bug tech-house, summoning atmospheres of deep yet ever playful psychedelia. Opening the A-side on ‘Ripple Effect’, pulsating drones and echoes of organic percussion slither through the undergrowth. ‘Soft Steps’ explores fractal resonance amid expansive, evolving textures. Flipping to the B-side, ‘Unfold’ melds paranoiac psy with a wiggly tek swagger. Slow-burner ‘Blue Trial’ closes out the EP – a proggy roller for worshippers of the eternal sunrise. 

A1. Ripple Effect
A2. Soft Steps

PREMIERE: mpeg - Dots [RM12028]

With the perfect fusion of Animalia’s wide realm of styles and foundations, comes up & coming Australian producer al dente, with a  minimal, modern take on peak-time bangers. Clean cut and futuristic, with a hint of early 2000’s minimal influence,  the al dente sound represents a fresh new wave of club-rollers whilst encompassing Animalia’s signature deep sound. 

Animalia would like to acknowledge that all tracks were produced on the traditional land of the Wurundjeri peoples, and pay respect to their elders past, and present. Sovereignty was never ceded.

Spectral Bounce proudly presents Zevar, the debut release by Aedis. An alias of David Iriarte, this new undertaking sees the Amsterdam-based artist plumbing the depths & tunnelling further into a sound that has surely been in the works for some time. One half of Iro Aka, Iriarte is no stranger to the exploration of ambiance & rhythmic play: the duo released a trilogy of records on John Talabot’s label Hivern Discs between 2020 & 2023.

On Zevar, Iriarte first traverses the deeper territories of tech house before conjuring up mystic 2-step and delving into rolling techno. The sense of spaciousness throughout the EP is vivid: perpetually unfolding modulated delays; cavernous reverb; weighty, grounding sub frequencies. This expanse is punctuated by fragmentary voices, psychedelic refrains (“Xtz”), intricate break deployment (“Station”) and thudding bass tones (“RTHM”). Just enough is given, just enough held back. With these 4 tracks, Aedis brings you that little bit deeper.

Taran & Lomov's "Riga Bay, Pt. 1" EP marks their return to their very own Amber Muse label, presenting a release consciously divided into two complementary halves. This structure allows the skilled Latvian duo to explore a wider emotional and functional range, creating a listening experience that moves from communal energy to introspective reflection. The parcel feels like a natural yet ambitious progression in their catalogue, demonstrating a clear intent to communicate with listeners across different settings.  

Premiered here, the Queer On Acid remix of "Drifter" hijacks the original's atmosphere and steers it toward a sweatier, more urgent destination. A squelching helix of acid twists its way through the heart of the track, forging a driving rhythm built for peak-time moments. This rework sheds the introspective layers, instead forging a raw and physical tool that commands the body to move. The result is a relentless Techno cut, both functional and fierce in its execution.

Off Your Head

SZE returns with ​Mirror City, from London-based artist https://soundcloud.com/o-utlier . Having previously released on Appian Sounds, Fred P’s Boards and Efdemin’s Naif, o.utlier debuts on SZE with an exploration of reflections and resonances in the self from objects and experiences in the environment. The A-side features ​Eastbound, a breakbeat driven slice of techno built for the club, charging forward on a journey through dizzy pads, bouncing oddball basslines and textural pressure. Next up is ​Letat, an ambient breath of air, both melancholic and uplifting. The B-side strides further into the unknown with ​Rhodesamp (Whacked Out Revamp), a transmission of dubbed-out meditation. Rounding off the release is​Ava, a hypnotic wedge of dub techno with a middle eastern feel.
