Closer To Me (Zaltsman Flip)

On February 25th, Palms Out will release the first in a series of compilations on cassette and digital. Titled plainly: "End Broken Windows", 100% of the proceeds of the series will go to charity in an effort to raise awareness about broken windows policing methods. Specifically, I hope this project contributes in some small way to spreading the word about the ways in which policing and prosecuting low-level offenses serves only as a way of terrorizing and traumatizing vulnerable populations, without achieving the intended goal of preventing violent crime. The theoretical premise of broken windows policing is fundamentally flawed, and woefully misguided -- there is no evidence that focusing police power on low level violations like sex work, loitering, minor vandalism, petit theft, minor drug offenses, etc. leads to any reduction in violent crime. The practice must end.

Each volume of the series will benefit a different charity doing work to counteract the effects of broken windows policing; all it really does is criminalize being black, trans, queer, young, unhoused, etc. The first volume will benefit the SBB National Sex Worker Bail Fund (swopbehindbars.org/donate). Sex workers are often intersectionally and inordinately affected by broken windows policing, and should never be forced to spend a single night in jail merely for exercising agency over their own bodies.

Musically and conceptually, this record is inspired by a place where broken windows policing is disproportionately felt: the subway/metro. I gave all of the artists the vague prompt to write music inspired by the NYC subway system -- and the results were expectedly varying. For this volume, I pursued artists who have been generally exploring midtempo dance music without focus on 4 to the floor drum patterns. The result was a collection of largely breakbeat-oriented songs, some with direct classic NYC & Detroit electro references, others with more melodic and euphoric UK hardcore inspiration, and others still that kind of split the difference between modern bass and Baltimore club (for lack of better descriptors).

END BROKEN WINDOWS Vol. 1

PREMIERE: Carli - XP10 [Palms Out Sounds]

Sister Zo brings her debut EP to Scuffed Recordings with four tracks of heavy, percussive club music.

Midwesterner Sister Zo has been building a name for herself in recent years as a co-founder of Kansas City’s UN/TUCK label, using her DJ sets and productions as a means of channelling her experiences as a queer trans woman growing up in the North American Bible belt.

Having cut her teeth in Kansas City’s vibrant underground scene, Zo has entered 2022 with a stacked DJ schedule at venues across the US, and making her mark on an international level with an appearance on Lobster Theremin’s PLUR compilation, and recent mixes on platforms like Daisychain and Spontaneous Affinity.

As one of the alumni of the Scuffed Recordings Artist Development Scheme, Sister Zo honed her production skills throughout 2021 and the result is the Screw Cheek EP – featuring four moody, bass-heavy tracks.

From the tension-building title track, to the rolling percussion of ‘Don’t Test Me’, to the broken beats of ‘Fire’, and eerie atmospherics of ‘Inhale’, Zo exhibits intricate sound design and carefully-considered production throughout the EP, marking her as a producer to watch in 2022 and beyond.

Redstone Press celebrates its fifth year in action with one last release in this, their busiest year to date. Debba’s signature beatwork and melodic flourishes are given space to breathe with the dreamy synths of ‘Subtle’ building up, then breaking down into a low-slung pitched down UK Techno roller.

Borai - Who Goes? | Premiere

My latest EP on the renowned Belgian imprint House Cookin Records is here, featuring two contrasting yet complementary cuts: “Significance” and “Passion.”

“Significance” drifts into dreamy deep house territory, carried by warm textures and hypnotic arpeggios that unfold like a small journey. It’s a track that invites you to close your eyes and lose yourself in its atmosphere.

“Passion” shifts gears for the dancefloor—layered with euphoric piano riffs and grounded by deep, driving basslines. It’s built for peak-time moments, radiating energy and emotion in equal measure.

Together, these tracks capture both the introspective and the explosive sides of house music—perfectly aligned with House Cookin’s soulful, uplifting sound.
