In its first round the label will feature 4 different artists with one digital single per artist being released each month until finally a collaborative vinyl release by all 4 artists will complete the first project. Valerie Ace has previously released on labels Intrepid Skin & Mama Told Ya and is currently preparing her first Boiler Room. Her second EP is scheduled to follow later in the year and for now enjoy this nice single kicking off the new label.

Sprinta (Bad Bad)

‘Creature of the Rave’ and rising poet/MC, Vispera, is dropping her debut 4-track EP this September. With her signature raw and visceral delivery, she reimagines the story of creation in a fresh, bold way. Titled 'EDEN', this EP is Vispera’s dynamic lyrical entry into the world of Drum & Bass, filling a much-needed gap in the scene.

Vispera, also known as Eve Piper, has been performing since her teenage years. Growing up in Manchester, she honed her voice through spoken word, slam poetry, and creative writing. In recent years, she’s made a name for herself in the Drum & Bass world, using her unique MCing style to bring depth and meaning to the rave experience—especially by empowering women. Now, with the support of close collaborators and some fresh faces in the Drum & Bass scene, Vispera is ready to make her mark as an independent artist. Her debut, self-produced 4-track EP, 'EDEN', drops on Thursday, September 12th, 2024, via Manchester’s own DropJaw Audio.

In the quiet waters of a pond, tiny green spheres float each with a cluster of cells working together in perfect harmony. This is Volvox, a simple multicellular algae organism, nurturing new colonies in its heart, waiting to grow and flourish. Similarly, in the vibrant skateboarding and music scene of French-speaking Switzerland, a young producer named Dimosoundz emerged from within a tight-knit community. Like the Volvox, he absorbed the influences around him, growing his own creative voice from the heart of this dynamic environment. This premise, both visually and sonically representative, marks the release before you.

Dimosoundz is the creative force behind Dimitri Roulin, embodying his musical ethos by fusing personal influences into a rhythmic experience grounded in his passion for bass-heavy music. Although his background as a breakdancer served a subconscious basis towards his current signature style, his journey as a producer began with a unique academic project that merged skateboarding, electronic and sampled sounds. From being deeply rooted in the Romandy skate scene is where he discovered 90s jungle and related sister genres, drawing inspiration from the community’s emphasis on autonomy, support, and authenticity which cemented the release before you.

Much like his lifelong fascination with water and its mysterious underworld, Dimosoundz explores vast, unknown realms in his music through obscure samples and non-musical elements whilst infusing his work with a playful, exploratory spirit. For him, music, skateboarding and underwater exploration are paths of creativity and discovery—parallel journeys of digging beneath the surface to find something new. Though seemingly fresh out of the water but already making waves within the Helvetian scene, Dimosoundz brings an original perspective, blending his unique experiences into a sound distinctly his own.

PREMIERE: Dimosoundz - Thames Rythm [Dee Dee’s Picks]

Sonidos Subterraneos is pleased to premiere a new track, this time we have the great Amsterdam based label: Dee Dee's Picks, with the track of: Olan! - Spheres And Spears
"Spikes & Bubbles" is the release name!
The album contains 6 electronic music original tracks . ENJOY
Next we leave you the description of the release

From Zurich’s quiet streets, alive with stories begging to be told, emerges a creator of contrasts—a non-binary artist thriving in the delicate tension between opposites. Grounded yet boundless, their sound unfolds like a rhythm humming beneath the surface—a pulse you notice only when you lean in close. Or perhaps for others, from afar.  

Embedded in its vibrant DIY scene, Olan! flourishes within a close-knit queer community, building safer spaces, promoting visibility, and championing the experimental spirit of queer club culture. Their artistry extends beyond music, reflecting a deep commitment to authenticity & connection. Bold yet playful, instinctive yet refined, their work is a living paradox, stitching precision & repetition with hypnotic fluidity.  

Olan!’s musical evolution has been shaped by a lifetime of curiosity & exploration. Early years spent experimenting with their brother’s synthesizers and immersing in video game soundtracks laid the foundation for their fascination with aural worlds. Later, formal jazz training sharpened their sense of timing and harmony, while the immersive energy of club culture revealed new creative possibilities: mesmerising loops and the raw, unfiltered force of repetition.  

"Spikes & Bubbles" encapsulates these contrasts; a creative ethos—balancing precision with whimsy, focus with freedom. The tracks span rediscovered melodies and fresh ideas born from bursts of inspiration, each a study in contradiction. Together, they form a cohesive soundscape designed to forge connection—whether on the dancefloor or in solitude.  

Listening to it feels like trespassing into a realm not meant to be seen, but always meant to be felt. This is music born of opposites, held together by Olan!’s singular vision of an auditory canvas as fleeting and vivid as a dream. It’s an invitation to embrace the unstable, the imperfect, and the playful, where contradictions collide to create something truly extraordinary.
