The Drifter returns to Maeve with a bang. This 2-tracker carries a familiar Drifty feel but is a total graduation for the label founder.

Everything sounds better, his voice, the machines, the mix - this is next level. The vocal on title track, "Ultraviolet" has a distinctive darkwave feel, a touch melancholic, but accomplished. Brooding synth bass underpins the track leading the listener into the cosmic abyss, a journey one is only too happy to surrender themselves to. The trip continues with "Avoid The Void", an ironic title given the listeners fate so far. On this cut we lose the melancholy and march straight to the dance floor. Littered with ping pong acid warbles, clipped vocal samples and driving drums, Avoid the Void is a single minded monster.

It may have taken some time for The Drifter to come correct with original work, but after listening to this its hard to argue it wasn't worth the wait.

The Drifter - Avoid The Void

Trigger

Pets Recordings shakes things up with another exciting label debut. UK producer SAHAR, celebrated for his unique, vocal-led productions on labels including Sum Over Histories, Isolate, Me Me Me, and Exit Strategy, storms onto the Pets roster with his brand-new Shakin' EP - a two-track journey packed with seismic energy and unmistakable groove.

Leading the charge is the sinister electronic strut of the title track, Shakin'. Crafted as a bold announcement to the dancefloor, the track has already proven itself in SAHAR's sets. 'I made Shakin' because my sets usually have my own vocals as a theme, but I wanted something that felt like a direct message to the crowd,' SAHAR explains. 'I thought it would suit the early stages of a night, but it ended up being my closing track for most of 2024 - it's got that perfect sign-off energy.'

On the flip is, How U Feeling? a track that takes inspiration from the fleeting sensations and energy of the dancefloor. 'I made How U Feeling? just after ADE,' says SAHAR. 'I heard a DJ play a track on the crane, loved it, and asked what it was. Unfortunately, I forgot to make a note of it, so the knowledge was lost forever.' Back in the studio, he worked on recreating the vibe from memory and, having been especially drawn to the energy of the heavily distorted female vocal chops, created his own.  'I'm thrilled with how it turned out, even if I'll never know how close I got to the original inspiration.'

SAHAR's 'Shakin'' EP drops on February 21st on Pets Recordings. Prepare to feel the rumble on the dancefloor.
