G TOWN RECORDS returns in style with a sophomore release from Brisbane’s finest - X CLUB. Following on from enthralling electro and techno EPs on Steel City Dance Discs and 1Ø Pills Mate respectively, the pair show their full deck of cards with ‘NOW OR NEVER’, a four track representation of driving top down in the pouring rain. 

Having risen up through the ranks of Brisbane’s colourful club scene, Ben and Jesse’s electric pairing has offered up some of electronic music’s freshest tracks in the past year; these four being picked straight from the root, pressed directly to wax and straight to your doorstep via Galway City. 

We kick off with ‘Concentrate’; an unrelenting rolling mesh of drums and tense vocals that culminate to X CLUB’s almost signature UK break sound that doesn’t skimp in intensity. Following on from that we’re met with one of the most in demand tracks of the past year following constant radio and club play, ‘Inna Trance’; an audio representation of a noughties donk and trance fan’s Las Vegas wedding gone wrong. 

We flip to the B side where the aptly titled ‘SPORTS THAT REQUIRE PETROL’ takes us back to the gym for a performance enhanced drum workout before drowning us in pads and letting us up for air as we approach the emotional crescendo that is the final track. ‘Elevation’ sees the listener don their best Ryan Gosling-esque driving gloves before embarking on a rain soaked journey to finish the job; it really is NOW OR NEVER. 

GTOWN002 stamps X CLUB’s place among the elites right now and certifies G TOWN RECORDS as a label not to be ignored going forward into a brave new world.

James Pepper - CLUB TRAX VOL 1. [EP]

Out now via Club Trax.

Sydney club-kid James Pepper has delivered his first instalment of CLUB TRAX, featuring 4 house-heavy originals which are ready and designated for dance floors. 

James’ first instalment of Club Trax sees him introduce 4 driving house cuts - full of power,  warmth and euphoria, giving us an insight into the inspirations that have surrounded JP’s upbringing within the dance music community. Through using his “less is more” approach, we are enriched by four tracks that are hosted by simple yet effective elements that make up a powerful EP full of club originals, which are suitable to be played on large systems in big dance-halls, as well as within the smaller-scale, intimate environments.

The epitome of James’s introduction to the world of dance music came after he unleashed his club-hit Three Drops during the broadcasting of his debut Boiler Room in his home-town, Sydney. Co-written by Black Loops, James would return to his home away from home and visit his old friend Black Loops (Riccardo) in Berlin, where he would begin writing his Club Trax EP. James would begin the creative process Riccardo’s studio while he was away touring throughout the European summer. James began to fall in love with the studio’s  hardware offerings, and in particular - Riccardo’s Roland MC909. The prominent early 2000s groovebox would become the centre piece of production work that makes up the Club Trax EP. 

After returning home to Sydney, JP’s first order of business was to purchase a second hand MC909 from Japan, and begin finishing what he has started in Berlin. With tracks Zwarte Pad & Praise You being an ode to the sound he holds dearest, James attempted to recreate the prominent 90s club-record sound, whilst also offering his own input in the process. 

The remainder of the EP sees tracks Residential Advisor & EVERYONE I LOVE give us an insight into a more new-school era, potentially alluding us to where James could be heading next - whilst also keeping it true to this heavily referenced 90s sound. 


After understanding JPs love for dance music and the influences that got him to where he is today, it will be exciting to hear and see the reactions of this club-record on dance-floors across the world. No frills, just straight forward dance classics & driving house hits, as James Pepper delivers his first instalment of CLUB TRAX VOLUME ONE.

Format: Digital
Release date: June 26th, 2024

The Escaping Gravity EP by Craig Heneveld is a hallucinatory techno odyssey that mirrors several transformative experiences in the formless realm. Spanning five tracks, the EP captures a journey from introspection to raw, unguarded energy. The grooves flurry between static and broken beats, setting an atmosphere perfect for both contemplative listening and energetic dance floors.



Escaping Gravity opens with “Planetary Pinko,” a buoyant, playful, atmospheric techno track whose percolating sounds bubble up from the void as if they were let through a cosmic zipper that tears at the fabric of the song - setting the stage for navigation through space and sound.

The next track, “Neutral Nitro,” kicks into gear, as if the vehicle for this EP is forced to propel into hyperspace by a sudden cosmic event. Rather than a casual jaunt through the expanse, this “Neutral Nitro” feels more sinister. Confined dub chords are at the center of this track that loop - eventually opening up, scattering, and surrounding the track like a storm engulfing a ship at sea. This chaos is marked by a broken beat kick and a rapid-fire of hi-hats that seem to ignite the track into an evasive maneuver into the dead of space.  Here the listener becomes confronted with the feeling that they are not alone due to the alien croaks that bubble up from its depths.

During “Spacewood” we’re cruising through gravity’s waves. Deep, sultry bass and jackin’ claps dance around open reverb-laden hi-hats that keep the pace while the occasional flutters of closed hats act as the thruster that propels it to the next level. Modular arpeggios oscillate smoothly in tandem with all of these elements, possessing the listener, as if influenced by an ancient ritualistic force.

“Veiled Verses” is less subtle. At this point, the euphoric hallucinations of “Spacewood” have turned diabolical. Any essence of cosmic benevolence has been replaced by menace. A kick drum, as furious as a meteorite colliding with metal is omnipresent, seemingly driven forward by the mad delusions of indecipherable chants. A funky, hypnotic bassline and living drumline acts as the tracks lead, pulling the listener deeper into the dark. Submission is simply the forces of gravity keeping one oppressed - a feeling one seeks to escape from. That is never more apparent in “Escaping Gravity,” the EP’s eponymous song.
