Playground Records is pleased to present “Swing Ride”, the 38th’s label reference by a dear friend of the house, the mighty Roe Deers. Almost two years after ‘Lazer in the Jungle’, his first vinyl release on our catalogue and with a bunch of hot releases on labels like Turbo Recordings and Futureboogie under his arm, the Lithuanian maverick is back with a brand new EP.

‘Swing Ride’ is a mysterious percussion song with crazy horns. It feels like the ‘Ship of Fools’ calling before setting sail, but It’s basically a club-ready track to be played in a proper dark and sweaty room.
‘Glass Around’ is a bit more raw, you might sense the expansive wave of a strong psychedelic punch. Finally, the third original track, ‘Autobahn 2002’, could work as a homage to the legendary German robots.

On the remix side, Multi Culti’s boss Thomas Von Party delivers a twisted narcotic version of ‘Swing Ride’, meanwhile Mexican geek ALF CHAMPION turns ‘Glass Around’ toward a dub-experimental mix.

Tracklist:

1- Roe Deers - Swing Ride (Original Mix)
2- Roe Deers - Glass Around (Original Mix)
3- Roe Deers - Autobahn 2002 (Original Mix)
4- Roe Deers - Swing Ride (Thomas Von Party Remix)
5- Roe Deers - Glass Around (ALF CHAMPION´s Boiling Dub)

Duro is honored to present the birth of the “Baba” brotherhood. During the last pandemic year, Rina traveled from Tel Aviv to Portugal, where he met Switchdance. After some trips around the beautiful city of Lisbon, plates and plates of hummus and samosa, a visit to pick up raspberries at a field that used to be a medicinal cannabis farm and lots of hours in Switchdance's studio, 'Baba Music Vol. 1' was alive.

The journey initiates with "Reak" or "empty" in Hebrew; the cut refers to a state of consciousness where there is nothing in the brain. Playful percussion, acid basslines mixed with digitally distorted synthesizers create the sensation of breaking out reality, an experience blended with algorithms, binary codes and atomized sounds where it is hard to distinguish the realness. A roar to all the Babas around the world to gather on the dance floor.

Next comes the Hebrew version of "Give Way",a cut that narrates the moment when you are in a high state of mind and try to describe the process to get back to reality. On this first version Rina takes control of the vocals. It’s followed by the Portuguese version where the duo worked with vocalist Abrão. An alternative version with deep and resonant bass, a synthesized voice, electric and acid melodies, and distant pads run through the space.

To consummate the brotherhood with an embellishment, master Jonathan Kusama came up with two versions of "Give Way". The first one is an energetic cut with a flickering and harsh bass, mixed with mind-bending and unhinged synthesizers. For the second version Kusama brings up a futuristic and dystopian dub masterpiece, with distorted bass lines, shady vocals and liquid percussion.

Being an ever-hungry fanatic for new, quirky and creative ways of musical expression, Andreja Salpe (@andrejasalpe) marks his most productive year so far. Next in line for his label, PMG Tanz Digital (@pmgtanzdigitalrecords) is another unexpectedly tranquil, but definitely club oriented EP.

'Variation of Dark-Disko is Andreja Salpe's whimsical, yet completely logical sequel to “Egypt Disko” - his collaboration with Veselinov which recently dropped for Quixotical Records. Including a groovy, organic remix by Leonor and a more heavy, industrial remix by Aurum Miles (@aurummiles), this dance floor oriented release is a welcome folder in any party lover’s collection.

Opening with an irresistible beat and percussion samples along with warm analog synths on lead and bassline duties, this is a track indebted to afrojazz with an unmistakable house feeling but in Red Axes’ trademark style of course, enhanced by Abraõ, the lush portuguese crooner heard on several of the duo's previous productions for I'm a Cliché.

With “Horizons,” Ha.arp delivers a mesmerizing journey that unfolds like a cinematic sunrise—delicate, expansive, and emotionally evocative. Released on the ever-consistent Magician On Duty imprint, known for its atmospheric and boundary-pushing catalog, this track comfortably carves its place among the label’s finest downtempo offerings.

From the opening moments, the production radiates warmth. Gentle pads swell and shimmer, creating a lush sonic bed that feels both airy and grounded. There’s a tender interplay between ambient textures and subtly modulated synth lines, which ripple like waves against a shoreline. Ha.arp’s attention to spatial design is notable—every element is placed with intention, allowing the composition to breathe.

Rhythmically, “Horizons” leans into restraint. The percussion is soft-spoken yet effective, with shuffling hats and organic-sounding hits that emerge gradually, never overwhelming the arrangement. This minimalist groove supports the track’s emotional core without disrupting its meditative flow.

As the piece evolves, melodic fragments surface like fleeting memories—glassy keys, distant echoes, and atmospheric arpeggios. These sonic details add depth and narrative, inviting repeated listens. It’s a track that doesn’t demand attention but rewards those who give it.

“Horizons” is a masterclass in subtle storytelling through sound. Perfectly suited for early morning sets, introspective moments, or slow-burning journeys, it captures the essence of Magician On Duty’s aesthetic—elegant, emotional, and immersive.

TRAFFIC – born from the chaos of the concrete jungle.
The rush, the noise, the endless flow – up, down, over, through.
Engines, horns, footsteps, voices – all colliding into a restless rhythm.
This is the sound of the city moving.

Israel’s hottest export follow up excellent EPs on Hivern and I’m A Cliché with a 3-tracker for the global psychedelic cult of Multi Culti.

Tel Aviv’s Red Axes are one of the most exciting new acts in dance music, with rich sound that is musical, deep, trippy and organic, while remaining precise and lethally effective in the club. The range in their sound is impressive, their talent unmistakeable. They are one of our favourite artists of the year, and this latest record is one of their best yet.

Lead track 'Waiting for a Surprise’ builds around a mid-tempo disco bassline, with tough percussion, and rugged synth stabs, but it’s the eerie and unique sounding vocals of Brazilian collaborator Abrao that bring everything together. This one is a guaranteed bomb for building up, tearing down, peak time or chilling out… an outstanding track in every sense, the kind that force trainspotters to the DJ booth to discover what’s playing. Next up, ‘Hope’ kicks off with resonant, delayed toms, adding a haunting howl and synths before dropping into a wild, clanging, carnivalesque frenzy. It’s understated, but advanced, with an interesting arrangement that really opens up in the second half. Finally, 'The Metal Bender’ slows the tempo but ups the vibe into an elated, slow-burning space-disco anthem. Fantastic stuff!

Melbourne’s Kris Baha, fresh from launching his Power Station imprint, offers a stripped down remix of ‘Waiting for a Surprise,’ with a heavy, industrial-influenced groove that wanders into the deep, dark end of party strasse.

There are many ways for a record label to compile an album: some make it in a week and some let the process go on longer. The latter approach does often mean that that the record will not be better than had it been recorded and mixed within a short amount of time, rather the contrary. However, there are those albums that just could not be made within in a week or a month, those compilation of songs that needed the time to melt together to form an album.  So here it is , the second part of Princes Of Abzu and our pick up here - Mekine U Teksi the opener track from release, lovely  6 minutes of journey with fantastic percussion and lovely dark structure. Enjoy the magic. This is Mekine U Teksi, this is Hard Fist.
