Astral VIP (and more) are here to remedy the monotony! by rehashing what you’ve already heard? but alas, no one is perfect. Outliers and outcasts have always created pockets in the mould of the city, smoke and wubs away from the lights and hammer. This collection of 14 tracks comes from such a dent, representative of different scenes all dedicated to this approach, coming from dank corners, away from big business.

Our offering is a tribute to the mix CDs of dance before (Global Underground et al), with AVIP’s very own Dugong on the 1s and 2s blending contributions from analogous crew into one continuous mix. Future-past made present, for potentially discontinued CD drives. For the sake of tangibility, in times that surge ahead regardless.

All profits from this compilation are being donated to 3EZWA Legal Fund, to help financially assist those facing draconian legal fees as part of the current protest movement in solidarity with Palestine & Lebanon.

Dugong - Dugong's Art of Stroytelling

SPF 50 aka Stephan Kimbel has been working the club circuit in NYC and abroad for years now. His approach to techno often incorporates breakbeats and a psychedelic attention to sound design details. Fixed Rhythms is now excited to present his latest 12” EP offering–”The Rush”.

The titular track, an acid breakbeat techno party starter for the heads, absolutely breaks down the door of the A-side. This is well-crafted dance music that can plunge any crowd into the deep end.

Toupaz returns to Control Freak with a 4 track EP of intricate club weapons.

‘Unwind & Dissolve Gently’ showcases the Graz-based artist’s distinctive production flair - one which has developed in style and sophistication since his last outing on CF in 2022 as Awo Ojiji with subsequent releases via Well Street, Grid and Danielle’s Soft Raw imprint.

This collection draws heavy influence from the rich history of the UK scene - from the dubstep-leaning lurch of ‘Ramshackle’ to the introspective electronica of closing track ‘Whats The Mass of Memory?’

Balancing a delicate and subtle sense of melody and restraint with blunt force moments of controlled aggression, Toupaz’s precision sound engineering is guaranteed to send any discerning dancefloor into a frenzy - perfect for those explosive mid-set left turns.

Skkkrt! Step Ball Chain is officially running redlights and disregarding road rules with Anderson in the driver's seat. The US born, Berlin based producer and deejay offers up Cut The Breaks, a 5 track EP bursting at the seams with ruff, tuff and techy freakouts, never neglecting the groove. Transcending genre, the low key king of the underground reaches into new realms sprinkling in electro, tech house and bouncy techno with a nod and a wink to hip hop. 

Sleek & sexy; the opening title track is as fresh as it gets, a soldering of prize elements from different electronic ecosystems. Whiplash drums and vocal chops that weave their way through the record, also cropping and popping up on the B Side. Pedal to the metal for Giving it All and Visconti Bounce; playfully traversing dancefloors with tongue & cheek turboness and rhythmic exploration that will drive you wild. 
Smell the rubber burn for STEP15; let Anderson strap you in and take the wheel.

Redstone Press uncorks another anomaly with the latest offering from First Epoque – The Antonelli Scrolls; an expansive four-track EP of riddled percussive tension and mythic resonance. A relic from an unknown era, like finding a USB stick inside a fossil. Precision-tooled dread, dubbed through unknowable years.

“To The Sea” opens like an ancient machine rebooting underwater — initiated by tidal sub-pressure and log-drum basslines, while rusted pads coalesce like liquid metal in the water. Each sound feels scrubbed of excess, chiselled to bone. It’s ritualistic techno, stripped back and hollowed out, possessed by half-remembered visions of Atlantis.

“Al-Tarif” follows with sharpened urgency — syncopated low-end funk coiled inside a lattice of unstable percussion. An encrypted script traced in stuttering kicks, cavernous bass drops and vapour-trailed synths; its structure feels less composed than summoned. The rhythm moves like a ritual procession: reverent and deliberate. Each percussive accent lands like a glyph etched into ancient stone.

“WRONGMANOEUVRE” — a misstep in the timeline, or a doorway left ajar. The track opens in disarray: detuned pads flicker like emergency lighting in a decompression chamber, while subaquatic kick-drums stutter and buckle under their own weight. The groove is broken but determined, dragging itself forward with a sense of mechanical dread.

Final transmission “Époque No. 25” hits like a rupture in the temple wall — a burst of high-velocity techno carved from scorched circuitry and panic-coded rhythm. It barrels upwards with relentless thrust. There’s no refuge here — only pursuit, propulsion. An overwhelming sense that something unknowable is closing in.

There’s no overt genre allegiance on The Antonelli Scrolls — just the steady unravelling of linear time. One for the initiates. Not easily explained. Not meant to be.
