Ya Dig? Records steps forward with the debut of their first wax release.
Labelheads, Serosai, drops two originals packed with rolling grooves, punchy low-end, and that signature Ya Dig? flavor built firmly for the diggaz.
On remix duties, we are so thankful to have two artists that we have mad respect for, Gojnea76 and Cristi Klebleev (ck).
This record balances punch and personality: driving grooves with distinct flavors across each track. It’s tough when it needs to be, deep where it counts, and showcases the sound we’ve been shaping since day one. Dance-floor focused and rooted in love for the culture.

Fresh off an EP on Semantica and an album on MORD, Uun returns to his imprint Ego Death with the Panopticon EP. Uun showcases his range on these 6 tracks, running the gamut from dissonance to chord driven grooves.
The A side focuses on intensity. “Aesthetic Descent” features dual synth lines, slipping between melody and atonality. The straightforward percussion allows the listener to focus on the everchanging dynamics in the leads. “Structural Obedience” begins with a chugging groove, out of which a buzzsaw synth emerges. This track is a display of Uun’s ability to walk the line between minimalism and maximalism.
The B side focuses on the interplay between melody and groove. “Ralph’s Track” channels the dub chords of Basic Channel while applying a modern edge. “The Hidden System” features the lone vocal on the EP, sampled from the work of the late great David Lynch. The interplay between the 7⁄8 lead synth and 4/4 percussion creates a feeling of anticipation, where the patterns develop in unpredictable ways.
The digital exclusive tracks go into more experimental territory. “Queen’s Chamber” is a broken beat dirge, consisting of reverb drenched percussion and synths reminiscent of Dead Can Dance. The final track, “Shokunin”, is the counterpoint to Aesthetic Descent, closing out the release on a crushing yet hopeful note.
Pressed onto a unique custom turquoise and black hand poured color mix record inside a full printed jacket. The evocative artwork was created by Minneapolis based graphic designer Ryote.
A1 Dawn Razor x Electrosoul System - Hiper Dob. Progressive breaks in the best traditions of Layo & Bushwacka! Atmospheric, fiery, harmonious.
A2 Electrosoul System - #electrobidon. Powerful electro breaks with paranoid melodic harmonies and an original, memorable voice sample by the 46th President of the USA.
B1 DJ Brix - Under Attack (Electrosoul System Remix). Crisp breakbeat with an old-school touch, echoing early Chemical Brothers and Prodigy, acid house and the acid revolution.
B2 Dissident - Alter Samadhi (Eklektika Remix). Gloomy, mesmerizingly hypnotic future garage remix of a drum'n'bass classic by Dissident.
Protocolo SysEx aka Fabio Vinuesa lanza este EP en su sello con cuatro pelotazos originales y dos remixes de Boris Divider y Heinrich Mueller.
GEOMETRÍA VIRTUAL documents a scenario in which mechanisms of control cease to function as external layers and instead become the very foundation of the system. The album does not propose a future dystopia, but rather a reality in which decision-making is automated and artificial intelligence is established as a structure of social control.Protocolo SysEx, a project by Fabio Vinuesa, is conceived as a narrative and sonic framework from which to examine the political and philosophical implications of a world governed by artificial intelligence. The release includes reinterpretations by Boris Divider and Heinrich Mueller and constitutes the first chapter of a trilogy focused on the progressive normalization of algorithmic control.

Disco-house fusionist Risk Assessment rounds off another successful year with a third and final EP of 2025. Braithwaite deals a near perfect hand on 'Play Your Cards', where excerpts from a Loleatta Holloway/Salsoul Orchestra style maximalist disco hit rise above a chunky, bass-heavy groove, before reaching for elements from a jaunty, piano-heavy disco number on the rolling and ear-catching 'Juicy Smollett'. Elsewhere, 'Testing Testing' is a gargantuan disco-house extravaganza full of sampled horns, rubbery bass, stellar orchestration and urgent male vocals, while 'Baby Call Me' sees him re-imagine a smooth and colourful 80s soul jam as a tactile and funky house workout.
