The square was vast and wide, only a handful of people were strolling around in the cold, harsh morning air. The myriad of shops bordering the cobbles were beginning to open; awnings out and signs propped front, right and centre, advertising all manner of trinkets, treasures and memorabilia. Soon the place would be brimming with visitors from near and far, all looking for something unique to bring back home with them - for a piece of this place, a memory of a time well spent. 

After their first split-format EP with Anatolian Weapons and LINJA back in 2021, Russian imprint Serenades are returning for another, and this time its Dolphins and Odopt sharing the wax. Continuing the series' mission to connect artists from different places around the world, the release features two tracks from the project of Benedikt Frey, Markus Woernle & Nadia D'Alò as Dolphins and Grigory Nelyubin & Ivan Maslov as Odopt. Strains of downtempo, leftfield and psychedelia all interweave: there's music for losing yourself and forgetting your worries on the dance floor, and there's also sounds for introspection and deep listening.

PREMIERE: Odopt - Syntagma [Serenades]

Circuit Grooves gears up for another sound defining release with Major, a two-track offering from The Running Man & Slow Assembly. Rooted in the fusion of Breaks and Electro, the title track Major is a precision-crafted, groove-heavy workout, where crisp drum programming meets fluid syncopation. Hypnotic synth lines weave through the percussion, striking a perfect balance between movement and atmosphere, each layer and addition an important part of the progression while a deep low-end ensures the track hits with both emotional resonance and club-ready power.

The vibes on display feel like an endless breakdown from the peak of the deep Tribal House days. On the flip, Clean Energy finds The Running Man going solo, delivering a kinetic Electro cut that channels classic machine funk with a modernist edge. Pulsing acidic bass and intricate drum patterns drive you forward, while airy, harmonic elements lend it a melodic flair. Major marks another standout addition to Circuit Grooves' forward-thinking catalogue and as always a break from the usual.

PREMIERE: Unwonted - Astrobio [Abstract Rhythm]

Unsighted is the Brooklyn based project of Nicolás Sierra ,and Mutante returns with a new sonic manifesto: an EP that channels the rough energy of EBM, the analog sensibility of Minimal Synth and the hypnotic pulse of New Beat.

This EP is a distorted time capsule, where corrosive basslines, martial rhythms and analog synths coexist in constant tension. It is a statement without nostalgia but with retro DNA, designed for sweaty dancefloors, smoky basements and minds that vibrate on the fringes of the mainstream.

Foreboding EP is a collection of tracks that don't ask for permission, they hit you straight on, like a post-industrial alarm on eternal loop.

PREMIERE : Unsighted - Unwanted Witness

Accident Machine – a creative outlet by visionaries George T and Mairi 'B' Pots – return with a blistering single then four-track EP, set for release via Paradise Palms Records. Channeling their signature fusion of electric acid, hypnotic drums and raw exploratory vocals, this release captures the duo’s evolving sound, bottles then packages in analogue cassette form.
 
Pulsating distorted rhythms, cascading delays and feedback-drenched textures collide in a sonic whirlwind of improvisation and unbridled creativity. Accident Machine invite listeners into the unknown—this time, pressed onto tape, ready to distort and decay in all the right ways

Ransom Note Records are over the moon to welcome illustrious French Electronic duo Froid Dub to the fold for the debut 12” vinyl release with us, Tears Maker Chant. Head honchos of the wonderful Delodio label, Stéphane and François, mark the 50th release for R$N Recs, and this is without a shadow of a doubt an incredibly special one for us. So, sit back and ready yourself for some inimitable Froid Dub cuts; laid back but pounding, graceful yet aggressive but above all, thoroughly danceable.

Opening proceedings is the Acid tinged Just One, a masterclass in making people dance at under 80bpm. Achingly gorgeous polysynth chords rain down, hovering like a film overhead the saturated 303 line that wobbles along in the low end. First single On The Nose enters next, with a delightfully soft, round bass that feels like bouncing around a padded room. Inside a Zorb. On MDMA. More echoed, analogue motifs dart from left to right, confirming with strong conviction that our chaps from Paris put the Dub in Indubitably Fantastic.

Digital Pond closes side A of the 12”, a low slung, nonchalant piece of mood music. Idiosyncratically “French” , brittle chords piece the sound stage, evoking past Italo Disco spaces, but remaining conscientiously chug-dubbed out. Second single Control (Special Mix) opens side B… with a capital B. For Banger. Another Space Echo heavy workout in the lower frequencies of the audio spectrum, this is testament to the old adage that less is often, a hell of a lot more (to paraphrase).

The titular Tears Maker glides into view next, with its frantic 808 patterns and spacey melodica, setting the scene for the majesty to follow. This epically proportioned tune is probably going to be a little passe come the end of summer, because it’s going to be played at festivals the world over relentlessly. Be warned! Finally Terri’s Dub brings matters to a close, with its angular, stands and woozy vocals, we’re given the space and tie to contemplate what has just happened to us on two mere sides of vinyl.

Tracklist: 

1. FROID DUB - Just One
2. FROID DUB - On the Nose
3. FROID DUB - Digital Pond
4. FROID DUB - Control (Special Mix)

6. FROID DUB - Terri's Dub
