"Music is meant to be shared" - this is the defining ethos of pi pi pi, a multidimensional platform manifested for the music lovers, listeners, and dancers of our known universe. Whether it’s taking shape as a digital haven of music sharing, a conductive frequency of electrifying amusement, or a side quest with a friend in a lucid dream, pi pi pi has existed as an amorphous zone of (un)reality to inject some spritely silliness and funny fun back into the seriously serious seriousness too often found encroaching the joys of danceable electronic music.

True to its inquisitive nature and quest for fluidity, pi continues to evolve into new & enticing forms - this time, expanding it’s amoeba into a label and connective energy accumulator to bring forth Oscar Huang's debut EP "Slipstream". This first EP release for both pi & Oscar is a collection of tender dispatches recorded amidst the tumultuous landscape of the pandemic, but centered on motion and transcendence in spite of that.

"Slipstream" accesses the mentality of a dreamer pushing beyond the confines of their reality, creating one’s own space for serenity, and the transportative realms music can truly take us to. Much of these visions revolve around Oscar’s upbringing in Pasadena, California, & the west coast’s affinity for smoked-out jungle, sunkissed breakbeat dexterity, and party starting Miami bass. Visions of sprawling canyon drives with friends, high speed velocity through pixelated raceways in Gran Turismo, and the fever pitch of raving in his adopted home of NYC serve as the sensory backdrop for Oscar’s fluttering dispatches from the depths of the hardcore continuum. 

“Adapting” kicks off with an elegantly smooth electro glide, refracting light amongst specks of morning dew or under the orange glow of fading sun - every aspect of it makes it easy to imagine the first sparks of movement igniting at the beginning of a rave, anticipating the joy of dances to come while hearing it. If “Adapting” summons the energy outwards, “Odolbos” conjurs the infinite source of energy within - cranking the velocity skywards, letting the tectonic sub resonance rumble, & throwing care to the wind even as you might find yourself lamenting a beautiful moment’s passing in time. A narrator’s voice in the distance echoes “& the only thing to fear, is that the magic would end…”, juxtaposed over a bass heavy embrace to remind us that the magic could never TRULY end. After all, anything that appears “finite” is simply our perception of a “thing” in an infinitely expanding universe, right? & the only thing to fear, is fear itself! The introvert's partyrocker anthem for the ages.

Raising the bpm way way way up is the rollicking junglist’s paradise of “Hashiriya'' - translating to “One who enjoys riding at high speeds”. Vroom vroom! With it's foot firmly on the gas & it's velocities aimed skywards, “Hashiriya” is a distillation of the most timeless elements of mid90s UK soundsystem jams, when the auras were potent & the genres as loose as the beat grids - just dreamtraveller pads, crooning vocal chops, & vibes (& pingers). Sharing some kindred smile energy directly with the flora-adorned dancefloors of Brooklyn, “No Phones on the Dancefloor'' is the extroverted UK to West Coast ‘lectrobreakz party banger we need as a society - gun fingers pointed towards the sky, backspins opening portals of time & space, and the most wiggly synth line that’s ever synthily wiggled through the fog & lights.

On ACEN048, Outsider makes her All Centre debut. Following standout appearances on four Pressure Dome compilations, the Derbyshire-based artist presents two forward-thinking, experimental club tracks.

Good Bone Structure opens with tense rolling snares and a shimmering pad as kick drums articulate the track’s broken rhythm. The arrangement builds to the introduction of a two note bassline which shifts and evolves into new and unpredictable mutations throughout the 7 minute track, underpinned by hard drums and embellished with ecstatic synth melodies.

Stick Shift opens with forceful four to the floor kicks and a dubbed-out, restless chord progression which darts around the percussion. The synth moves and grows, alternating with and reacting to the track’s ricocheting bassline, whilst syncopated claps keep the track’s compelling rhythms in check.

Good Bone Structure is available across all digital platforms on the 26th May.

Klasse Wrecks is happy to welcome new Berlin-based producer Jotel California to the family. The emerging young artist provides a strong and varied EP that introduces his deft production skills and understanding of balanced sonics. 'Borrowed Time' traces the lines of traditional electro but stirs the pot with new flavours and the result is something that is both unique and powerful. Late 90s Techno is referenced on the title track, a dark and haunting driver that emerges into euphoria later on in the journey. While the A1 features the cut up vocals of Babyblade and takes the listener on a pulsing trip that thrashes back and forth before restlessly settling down

trickpony - Pillow Talk
STEP11

Vinyl Preorder: https://t.ly/_JdmN
Digi Preorder: https://t.ly/_ZybS

Step Ball Chain’s unconventional prototype band trickpony is the 11th release on the ever evolving imprint. An assortment of sensual cyber jams collaged together by the trio over timezones, birthed in Perth, Australia by Mike Midnight and Roza Terenzi; old friends joined by Helsinki’s visionary songstress Maria Korkeila. A trinity of alchemy blossomed into an audio rendition of exquisite corpse, layers of each entity glistening through amongst a united cosmos; trip hop atmospherics and downtempo drippings. 

The five track EP reveals a metamorphosis of nostalgia, a foot in the ever present and daydreams of future. A subconscious deep dive into lustful pop, guided by spine tingling vocal fantasies; textural hallucination, harmonic odes to the golden era underground and a flirtation with drum and bass, tribal percussive freakouts and dream tinged lyrics of desire. 

Pillow talk is a timeless exhibit of esoteric treasures, a portal to a private world of modern enchantment that reveals itself in new ways each listen, music for lovers created by a supergroup of innovators to be digested, shared and cherished.

Oso Feo is a true advocate for the underground, and lives by the ethos of building and uplifting community. He is half of curation and management for the online radio station and studio SutroFM, which provides a platform for both new and experienced DJs to share their music through radio shows, and live broadcasts. 

On the decks, he can only be described as a masterful vinyl technician. His sets will keep you locked on the dancefloor as he seamlessly transverses through electro, broken beat sounds, hypnotic techno, and psychedelic house. His musical style has been described as “TexMex ravescapes infused with lush Bay breakage.” He’s a true gem and rising star of the Bay Area underground electronic scene.

“Picture hanging out somewhere in the Northern California coast; you are beside all your besties and the sun is just starting to set. The night just started, the vibes are getting freaky, and maybe a stimulant is kicking in. This is the vibe I went for — an introduction to a psyched out renegade where the bpm is still quite slow.”

Incienso is excited to announce ‘basement, etc…’, the debut album from Brooklyn producer downstairs J a.k.a. Josh Abramovici.

Combining elements of Trip-Hop, Acid House, Dub, Korg Triton timbres and a healthy dose of the most chilling beats of the ‘20s, J steps out into the world from down below with an entrancing set of seven songs that warmly elude to his previous releases under the aliases snacs and VOSE 106, but taken in new directions and heights - strangely familiar but fresh, friendly and uniquely J…
