Holly Lester’s Duality Trax imprint continues its mission to find balance within the music industry by bridging gender gaps and pushing the boundaries of contemporary club music. The next release sees the label's second VA come to fruition, focusing on six emerging and established artists that are all making their mark within their respective cities and beyond. 

Glasgow hero and resident of dance music institution Sub Club Stevie Cox opens things up on her first ever solo release, easing us gently in with a hypnotizing mesh of ethereal synths and dynamic drum programming, akin to the carefully constructed sets she has become known and loved for. Stones Taro, a pioneering force behind Kyoto's evolving electronic scene, brings his signature touch to ‘Iron Door’ and smoothly bridges the gap between UKG, breaks and house before rising Aussie producer DAWS serves a nostalgic blend of dreamy chords, jacking percussion and bumping bass. Up next, sample king Gallegos turns in a raw and crunchy acid workout that is sure to raise the roof with adrenaline inducing risers aplenty.

The VA takes a trippy left turn with Planet Euphorique and Craigie Knowes affiliate emkay, in a perception altering display of warping synths, shimmering gated vocals and loose drum patterns before rising star Body Clinic rounds things off. Fusing DnB and prog  in ‘159 Revolutions Per Minute’ against a futuristic backdrop, the young Northern Irish producer perfectly demonstrates the interwoven themes and concepts that the label seeks to platform. 

100% of compilation profits will be donated to Palestine Children's Relief Fund. 

Visions Vol. 2 will be available to buy digitally from December 8th, 2023.

not even noticed are an incredibly talented German duo who have been laser focussed on their signature sound since their foundation in 2020. Hailing from Frankfurt & Leipzig, Carsten & Lucas have amassed a gorgeous catalogue of music that incorporates the ethereality of Trance combined with the gritty, heads-down feeling of classic Acid House and Breakbeat. Their latest EP Source Transformation lands on Faux Poly this Spring.

This release showcases the artists inherent flair for treading the line between delicately uplifting melodies and rattling heavy bass. Each track conjures up a beautifully atmospheric future-acid world that is a dream to get lost in.

Words from the artist:
We started producing this EP in the late summer of 2023 in which some of our project’s biggest releases had dropped. Seeking for a way to stick to our signature sound without repeating ourselves we aimed for new grooves and patterns to combine with our sound sphere. The first three tracks of the EP were produced within one month, while Astral Surge was a few months older and happened to be rearranged to fit into the overall vibe of the EP. When Joe and Warren reached out to us to work with them on a Faux Poly project we had a feeling that these would be the tracks that could make an EP. We’re even more glad the feeling was mutual.

Tracklist:

1. Light Beams 
2. Emargico 
3. Low Grid 
4. Astral Surge

PREMIERE: not even noticed - Low Grind [Faux Poly]

‘Stars In The Pub’ is the second “official” release by one of Eora /Sydney’s best kept secrets, Unpin. Comprised of nine borderline satirical dance floor heaters & giggle starters, the EP is a testament to Unpin’s skill not only as a forward thinking producer & DJ, but as one of his city’s most unsuspecting.

In the words of Velodrome before us, all killer, no filler. We’re so pleased to be releasing a chaotic & yet beautifully polished piece of work from one of Sydney’s most entertaining names.

Limited edition CD available now via our Bandcamp.

Due out June 12.

Not Like The Other Girls

Lost in Brooklyn

"After a year of silence, Realitycheck returns to his French home base with ‘Blank‘ – a much solid four-track package of his signature non-formulaic, cross-bred floor ordnance; fusing stop-and-go junglism, altered tech wares, liquid dubs, Bristolian-inherited bass moves and other old-school-friendly breaksy rave patterns."

Silent Motion

As premiered on @resident-advisor's new tracks section 
https://www.residentadvisor.net/tracks/965367

Guided by yet another of La Cheetah Club’s family members, Alfie leads us through the third Outer Zone with four homage laden techno cuts, all obliquely or otherwise brushing past centre-points of styles within the genre. Having proven himself as a producer capable of making serious dancefloor cuts as @theburrellconnection, this new moniker sees the Perth native coagulate sounds usually heard during the energetic moments before the always impending end of the night. Each track stems from influences or creative bursts entirely different from the last, with the EP opening to a lovingly crafted tribute to giants and ending with something drawn from wider sources of inspiration rendered singular. ‘Plastic Entertainment’ is anything but artificial, made with the direct intention of shaking walls and eyeballs.

Release Date: 11th August 2019
