ASTROPHYSICS & DJ LHC - mi mi mi mi

Following their contribution to Superclasico Vol 2., @tomsobolikmusic officially joins the Clasico family in a major way!

Five new tracks from one of the US underground’s most exciting voices, Heavy Eyes finds Sobolik refining their sound while reconnecting with their roots. Written over eight months between June 2024 and February 2025, the record came out of a moment of recalibration. After a run of dense, chaotic releases, Sobolik stripped things back and turned their focus to groove and percussion, gravitating towards techno, tribal house and dubstep for inspiration – but never long enough for any one genre to define them.

The result is a set of tracks that balance dissonance and playfulness, with a renewed emotional core. “I wanted to hone things down,” they explain. “None of them are straightforward bangers, but they’re all playful, charged, and connected to the deep reverence for pop music that’s always driven me.”

Musically, the EP takes influence from Trekkie Trax, 85 Acid and Yaleesa Hall, late-‘00s dubstep pioneers like Appleblim and Peverelist, and the DJ worldbuilding of CCL, Gigsta, Objekt, and Kiernan Laveaux. But at its heart, it’s rooted in Sobolik’s most formative experiences in the North American underground, channeling the unbridled spirit of DIY raves like Montreal’s Layer05 and STM, Philadelphia’s Chrysalis and Concréte, New York’s Groovy Groovy and TOSSD, and of course Sobolik’s own Antidote nights. “This music is for those floors,” they say. “The places that captured my heart.”

As their seventh EP, Heavy Eyes feels like a sure step forward. “It comes from me DJing more, deepening my knowledge of how dance music works on the body and on a crowd,” Sobolik reflects. “I feel more confident now, put less pressure on myself – and I think the tracks are cleaner, more distilled.” That maturity doesn’t come at the expense of personality, though: this is still music full of texture, humour, and an air of “why the fuck not?”

The EP closes with a remix from Swedish innovator Peder Mannerfelt – ‘business (techno) in the front, party in the back’ personified and one of Sobolik’s earliest inspirations. “He’s been flying the flag for freaky, fun, bassy techno for years,” Sobolik says. “His tracks set my gold standard for dancefloor music – I did not expect he’d be so immediately down to remix my material, and I’m really humbled by his support.”

With Heavy Eyes, Sobolik delivers their sharpest and most focused work yet: club tracks that are fierce and frenetic, but also deeply earnest.

Perc Loop Princess is the second single on the EP, before Heavy Eyes drops in full on October 2.

Sobolik – Perc Loop Princess

While many of the new generation of DJs lean toward faster BPMs and high-energy dancefloor sounds, @eva1nsssssss takes a different path—delving deep into the heavy, 70 BPM currents of dubstep for her own free-flowing explorations.

Based in Shanghai, eva1nsss—also known as Nuòzi—is captivated by the boundless possibilities of bass music. From drifting through clubs in her early days to her current sonic experiments, she has always treated low frequencies as her foundation—layering them with playful drums, fractured vocals, and unpredictable textures. The result: immersive, experimental soundscapes that are constantly evolving.

For this exclusive Asian Archive Mix, she reveals her truest self, selecting her favorite bass cuts and weaving in raw Jamaican patois to guide listeners into a deep, resonant world of sound.

(Mini talking)
Yeah… how’d I get this lucky?
Still don’t get it — but I ain’t questioning it.

(Verse 1)
Outta my league by a light year,
Feelin’ like I’m Buzz Lightyear,
Took a trip through the dark just to find you here.
Love you to death and back to life again,
You the calm that pulled me from the void

(Verse 2)
You saved my soul, no lie,
Ash on my jeans, yeah the smoke gone dry.
Your voice like heaven in the static,
Every word, automatic — my panic went quiet.

(Verse 3)
Used to carve pain just to feel somethin’,
Now I breathe ‘cause you taught me what love meant.
I thought I was broken since ‘06,
Now I’m standin’ with the light you lit.

(Verse 4)
You the best — no lie,
Said it once, now I’ll say it ‘til I die.
You the best, the best, best —
My heartbeat, my final test.
You the best — yeah, no contest.
