In ,An Iris Crackled Like Eyelids" erkundet Jules Négrier zwei Sätze, zwei innere Momente, die durch die schwebende Zeit eines ,knisternden" Augenlids voneinander getrennt sind. Der erste Satz beginnt, wie eine Geschichte endet - mit einem Ausbruch roher Emotionen -, um dann in eine weite Fläche harmonischer Divergenzen zu münden. Der zweite Satz führt erneut eine Verflechtung aus Rhythmen, Verdrehungen, Abwärts- und Aufwärtsbewegungen ein, um einen paradoxen Raum zu offenbaren, der sich in der Zeit einer ungelösten Beruhigung entfaltet. Indem er auf inspirierte und komplexe Weise Klänge offenlegt, die zugleich durchscheinend und gewunden sind, komponiert Jules Négrier eine geheimnisvolle Musik - eine Musik, die aus den Qualen elektronischer Materie schöpft, aus Formen und Werden, die allmählich in den Bereichen der Einfachheit Fuß fassen. In ,All Solids Melt Into Aether" verwebt Maria W Horn Akkorde, die mit einer bis an ihre Grenzen getriebenen Orgel erzeugt wurden, mit den unerbittlichen Texturen computergenerierter Klänge. Zwischen der extremen, kalten Präzision der elektronischen Töne und der Instabilität der warmen Orgelakkorde, die Druckschwankungen ausgesetzt sind, entfaltet sich ein stilles Drama, aus dem eine komplexe Welt entsteht, die aus harmonischen Zuständen besteht, welche von ihrer Entstehung bis zu ihrem Zusammenbruch eine kraftvolle und ergreifende Metapher hervorrufen und Bilder eines ewigen, urzeitlichen Kampfes heraufbeschwören. Dieser Kampf ist derjenige, der in jedem Augenblick zwischen zwei gegensätzlichen Energien stattfindet: Die eine bildet das Verlangen nach einem stabilen Zustand, sucht ein zerbrechliches Gleichgewicht - eine Energie, die unerbittlich durch die Kräfte der Entropie und des Chaos eingeschränkt und widerlegt wird. In dieser Hinsicht liefert Maria W. Horn mit ,All Solids Melt Into Aether" ein Werk von suggestiver und introspektiver Kraft, das wahrhaft faszinierend ist.

Kampana brings you two reworks from Aroop Roy's essential DJ Weapons series, on 7" for the first time. 'Cross the Tracks' brings a bumping house groove to the funk classic.
'Spooky' reimagines the soul hit with brand new bass, guitar and rolling drums, creating a magical dancefloor moment.

**The Stone Club - 'Album of the month' **


In a world that buckles and cracks under our calamitous weight, something at once old and beautiful, bitter and malign, stirs just a shade below what can be seen. It had dreamt of the end of things, and tasted there sweet emptiness, but now a new hominid stench has disturbed its slumber.

So keenly it ponders, un-lidding an eye, and within each potent coil desires fester, many and urgent. And so it untangles, and organises, and lurches upwards like a whale; bloated, rotten and desperate to breathe.

Emily and Joe have caught glimpses of that which lurks beneath. As each has struggled to make sense of what they have seen, they have been dragged inexorably into a frightening new reality; a shadow world of lurid horrors, where nothing is as it ought to be. Yet they have witnessed great beauty too, a joy stark and profound, and an addiction is growing.

iO Pan is about a love for that special era in the UK dance music scene that from the late 1980s onwards mixed funk, soul, hip-hop, electro, reggae, dub and Jamaican sound system culture together with the freshest dance music coming out of Chicago, Detroit, Belgium and Italy. A unique melting pot that would lead to some of the most original and groundbreaking musical movements the world has ever seen in Bleep, Breakbeat, Hardcore, Jungle and Dub Step.




iO Pan is an artist, musician and DJ who has presented live art at the Barbican Centre, the Open Data Institute, the Royal College of Art and Goldsmiths University.

As a musician, iO Pan has supported the Arctic Monkeys and worked with the Human League, and with the track ‘Forever’, reached number 5 in the Mixmag Ibiza chart.

As a DJ iO Pan was a resident for legendary Sheffield clubs Gatecrasher, The Leadmill and Plug throughout the 90s.

iO Pan now presents the full-length album When The Lid Opens on Sound Records whose roster includes KiF Productions, Benyayer, Yarni and Lara Jones.

Four tracker from Coral O'Connor, remix from Sound Process. Exo rolls in on deep low end, patient build, no rush. Title track Daiginjo tightens the pattern, more direct, tech house drive. Sound Process remix pulls it into techno and dub territory, stripped back to bass and delay. Nolita closes things out deeper, more inward. Straightforward EP, does what it sets out to do. Solid.

Hakim Murphy, Venn Diagram, four cuts on one twelve. Old Detroit machine funk meets old Chicago swing, no reinvention needed. Straightforward drum programming, straightforward intentions, nothing chasing trends here. Does what it says. Solid.

Mit Planete Bleue veröffentlicht Philippe Katerine ein weiteres Kapitel in einer Karriere, die seit den frühen 1990er-Jahren konsequent eigene Wege zwischen Pop, Chanson, Performance-Kunst, Film und Literatur geht. Gemeinsam mit Produzent Nikola Feve (NK.F) entstanden Songs, die persönliche Beobachtungen und gesellschaftliche Themen aufgreifen, dabei jedoch stets den unverwechselbaren Blick des französischen Künstlers bewahren. Zwischen Poesie, Absurdität, Melancholie und feinem Humor bewegt sich Katerine fern gängiger Pop-Konventionen und hat sich damit einen festen Platz in der französischen Kulturlandschaft erarbeitet. Planete Bleue richtet sich an Hörerinnen und Hörer moderner französischer Popmusik ebenso wie an das kulturinteressierte Publikum, das Katerine aus seinen Arbeiten als Musiker, Schauspieler und Autor kennt.

Tiger Stripes continues the ‘A Tiger Never Loses Its Stripes’ EP series on Rekids, with part two arriving 30th October 2026. The EP follows part one, released earlier this month, and previews his upcoming sophomore album, his first in two decades, due out later this year.

First up, Tiger Stripes’ 'Strike' is a raw, heavy, swinging warehouse cut with stark lasers and a moody vocal refrain that will lock the floor into a steady march. 'ID' flips the script with funkier bass riffs and dub effects hanging above a lighter, funkier groove, but still locked into irresistible loops. There is a playful touch to 'Nothing To Do', too, where dusty drums, darker synths and prying bass motifs all shuffle and swing with confidence. The soulful 'Free As A Bird' closes with a delightfully dubby skip, lush chords, and expert sound design that brings immeasurable character alongside a well-worked vocal.

Founder of the Strange Idols label, Tiger Stripes has spent over two decades forging his own path with standout releases on Hot Creations, Kaoz Theory, Kwench Records, and more. After stepping back to focus on his indie-rock project Little Lies, he made a full return in 2024 and quickly recaptured the form that’s made him an international favourite.

Radio Slave’s Rekids was founded in 2006 and has since spawned successful offshoots with the Techno-focused Rekids Special Projects in 2017 and its newest sublabel, REK’D, in 2024. With Matt Edwards as the sole A&R, Rekids has been crucial in developing early artist careers and has become a haven for established acts in House and adjacent genres, recently featuring Harry Romero, Tal Fussman, DJ Minx, The Hacker, and many more.

Early DJ Support: Massimiliano Pagliara, Paranoid London, Logan Fisher, Terry Farley, James Holroyd, Rocky (X Press 2), Francois K, Marcel Vogel, Sean Johnston, Austin Ato, Ron Basejam, Richard Rogers, Oliver Dollar, Crazy P and many more

Creating an international name for itself over the past decade as a sample pack label, Samples From Mars made its inevitable venture into the music world originally as a home for founder Teddy Stuart’s work. Long before making samples, Stuart garnered credits working as a grammy-nominated recording engineer in the hip hop world, and DJing / producing with Justin Strauss as A/JUS/TED, for labels such as DFA, Domino Records and Southern Fried Records. Now the label is set to release a variety of genres - house, disco, techno, ambient, all with a vintage tinge and a focus on high quality, analog production.

Enter Salt Queen. Visual artist and musician Magali van Caloen together with Samples From Mars founder, Teddy Stuart. Based in New York, the duo combine hardware dance aesthetics with dry, salty takes on familiar club moments into music that sits somewhere between funny, raw and unpredictable.

Salt Queen’s debut ‘ARE U OK’ is an acid-laced, deadpan spoken word track with an opening line that snaps any room to attention. A disorienting club encounter unfolds over Italo-inflected 808s and a relentless 303 bassline. There are no chords and no melodies - just a skeletal groove and an intimate voice circling the dancefloor. Drifting between concern and provocation, the vocal runs through cliché club conversations before destabilizing completely into a siren-laden crash out. The ‘Freak Nasty Club Mix’ ditches the plot and lets the hardware breathe, with a thick SH-101 bassline anchoring the first half before a sudden switch into an unrelenting acid pattern that refuses to settle. Two versions of the same wild night out.

On Rent Due, Chattanooga’s BbyMutha turns the pressure, exhaustion and absurdity of everyday life into a distinctly Southern rap record that could only come from her world. Raw, funny, confrontational and deeply personal, the album finds Bbymutha operating completely outside of the conventions of mainstream rap, filtering Southern tradition through the DIY spirit and fractured energy of the internet underground.

Across 15 tracks, Rent Due pairs heavy low-end and stripped-back drums with eerie, spacious production that draws from the darker lineage of Memphis and Southern rap without ever becoming nostalgic. BbyMutha's unmistakable delivery sits at the center of it all: deadpan one moment and explosive the next, moving effortlessly between money problems, motherhood, relationships, sex, frustration and survival with the same unfiltered humor that has defined her music from the beginning.

Production comes largely from Rock Floyd alongside Foisey, Paris Aden, Vile and Popstar Benny, while Lisha G, Vayda and Fly Anakin make guest appearances throughout the record.

Originally released digitally in April 2026, Rent Due captures BbyMutha at her most focused while retaining everything that has made her one of the most singular voices to emerge from the American underground: uncompromising, unpredictable and completely herself. Now available on limited edition vinyl!

To celebrate the 25th anniversary of Cormega's landmark debut, we're proud to present a special anniversary edition of The Realness, one of the defining releases to emerge from Queensbridge and East Coast hip-hop.

GRANULAR POLYPHONIES SHOOTING THROUGH LIKE BOLTS

For over ten years, Brussels-originals ladr ache have dipped their toes and vocal chords in all matter of
musical mischief as only they know how. With éclats z, their latest recorded offering, new canons arise
that belong to no place or genre. Between the layers of chant, other voices turn up in old tongues and
secret languages, gliding alongside pipes and electronic warps, pulsing in time with the granularity of
choice. Recorded over two years in different times and spaces, the living textures that emerge are sonic
libations as much as modern lullabies, inhabiting zones of ancient passages and timeless exploration.

Trunk Records was started 30 years ago. It quickly established itself as a unique and highly influential label finding the unfound, the unthinkable and the forgotten sounds of the past. Here we celebrate 30 years of the label, by issuing amazing music it has not released yet. Of course we do.

Trunk Records began in 1996. It was the first label to issue non commercial library music to the public. It was the first label to chase, find and issue The Wicker Man soundtrack, the first to issue the sounds of computer keyboards and even announcements from train buffet cars.
Movements like “Hauntology” and “Folk Horror” all began thanks to the music issued by Trunk Records. And here we are, 30 years on, and we think it is time for a 30 years anniversary LP.
Unlike the 25th anniversary double LP, we are not issuing music we have issued before. Instead, here we are issuing music we have not issued before. What better way to sum up such an important and unique label better than continuing where we first began.

Tracks include some unreleased Roger Webb slow sex disco, scatty breakbeat library, psychedelics from Gabo Szabo’s backing group (The Advancement), groovy jazz from Pittsburg (The Silhouettes), Basil Kirchin’s unreleased electronic experimental thing (it is very much “a thing”). Some outsider singing from a hippie who lived in Drop City, a flexi disc selling you the Milton Keynes shopping centre and of course some improvised jazz for children’s dance workshops. And more too. And all on one LP.

‘ROSEBUD’ is the tenth album from Current Joys,
the solo project of Surf Curse drummer Nick
Rattigan - and his boldest reinvention yet.
Written during a difficult period and reworked
alongside producer never goodbye (Danny
Dwyer), the record transforms a set of strippedback slowcore songs into a maximalist collage of
nu metal, screamo, electronica, hip-hop, powerpop, emo and darkwave.
Big anthemic hooks shouted through layers of
static, punk chord progressions chewed up by
digital manipulation and moments of striking
tenderness underneath the noise.
It’s also a milestone: ‘ROSEBUD’ is the first album
Rattigan is self-releasing, via his own imprint They
Are Evil, after years on Secretly Canadian - a
return to the artistic freedom of his early
Bandcamp days.

Raised in Virginia and based in Baltimore,
Dawuna’s experimental R&B lusts, yearns and
beckons.
After the acclaimed release of his 2021 album
'Glass Lit Dream' (“masterpiece” - The Guardian),
he experienced a series of unfortunate events:
amnesia, breakups and leaving NYC.
Fast-forward a few years, he falls in love with a
woman named Love.
‘Love’s Arp’ is the result of R&B love songs done
right.

The new voice of jazz is here. Following his
acclaimed debut album ‘Open Up Your Senses’,
award-winning vocalist Tyreek McDole returns with
‘CHROMA’, a bold, genre-defying record that takes
the jazz tradition somewhere unexpected.
Drawing from the rich musical canon, from Nina
Simone’s ‘Wild Is the Wind’ and Miles Davis’s ‘Blue
in Green’ to OutKast’s ‘She’s Alive’, McDole
completely inhabits each song, bringing his
extraordinary baritone, soul and contemporary
vision to a repertoire that spans generations.
Produced by GRAMMY-nominated trumpeter Theo
Croker, ‘CHROMA’ is a striking record where jazz
tradition meets the sounds of today - the sound of
a new generation of jazz.

"Synth revival from the mid-aughts gave us fractured sub-genre upon fractured sub-genre, outlets for noise-leaning basement dwellers to finally dance like dad said they couldn’t, and commercially-viable nostalgia drivel that eventually poisoned the well. Luckily, for all of us, Ryan Martin and his sincerity cut through all of it.

Secret Boyfriend, the monumental and ongoing undertaking of Martin, has spanned labels, media, and DIY line-ups for more than a decade. Whenever Ryan comes up in conversation I am sure to bring up his home in North Carolina and how it is a testament to his commitment to media and artistic ethos having a place in the world. The walls and rooms are thoroughly covered in drawings, flyer ideas, cassette collections, VHS in heaps and piles, instruments that seem like they are still warm as if they were just played then sat down. Martin and his home act as a means to unbridled expression without the need to fill a gap in a mostly saturated world.

„I Thought We Were The Same“ ist das neue Studioalbum der gefeierten norwegisch-schwedischen Sängerin, Songwriterin, Produzentin und Independent-Künstlerin Ane Brun.
Mit ihrem bislang persönlichsten und fesselndsten Album – und ihrer ersten neuen Musik seit sechs Jahren –
kehrt Brun zurück: „I Thought We Were The Same“ ist eine kraftvolle Sammlung von Songs, die Themen
wie Vertrauen, Identität, Verrat und die bemerkenswerte menschliche Fähigkeit zum Neuanfang beleuchten.
Musikalisch zählt das Album zu Bruns experimentierfreudigsten Werken. Entstanden im Laufe von drei
lebensverändernden Jahren, markiert es ein eindrucksvolles neues künstlerisches Kapitel für die skandinavische Musikerin. Brun erweitert die Klangwelt ihres gefeierten Albums „After the Great Storm“ (2020) und
wagt sich in eine noch mutigere Electronic-Pop-Landschaft vor; dabei verbindet sie zutiefst intimes Songwriting zu einer Musik, die zu den unmittelbarsten und emotional berührendsten Stücken ihrer erfolgreichen
Karriere gehört.

„Nur wenige zeitgenössische, vom Jazz beeinflusste Sängerinnen schaffen es, so intensiv nach sich selbst
zu klingen und dabei aus einer solchen Vielfalt von Genres, Sprachen und kulturellen Hintergründen zu
schöpfen wie die in Albanien geborene Sängerin Elina Duni“, hat schon der britische Guardian festgestellt
– und Reaching for the Moon spannt nun erneut einen weiten musikalischen Bogen. Es ist Dunis dritte
Aufnahme mit dem britischen Gitarristen Rob Luft. Während Lost Ships und A Time To Remember ihr
gemeinsam geleitetes Quartett in den Mittelpunkt stellten, tritt hier das Kernduo in den Vordergrund –
in einem Programm, das mit dem Titelsong aus der Feder von Irving Berlin beginnt und mit Ornette
Colemans „Lonely Woman“ endet. Dazwischen hören wir Eigenkompositionen von Duni und Luft, traditionelle Musik aus dem Kosovo, ein Wiegenlied der persischen Sängerin Mahsa Vahdat, eine Ballade des
italienischen Singer-Songwriters Pino Daniele, das Kunstlied „Les Berceaux“ des französischen Komponisten Gabriel Fauré, Filmmusikthemen des japanischen Komponisten Shigeru Umebayashi und des polnischen
Komponisten Krzysztof Komeda – und mehr. „Unser Duo, unser Projekt, ist eine musikalische Reise“, sagt
Elina. „Wir nutzen verschiedene Stile und verschiedene Sprachen, um die Distanz zwischen Menschen zu
überbrücken.“ Dunis Einfallsreichtum als Sängerin wird dabei von Lufts instrumentalen Fähigkeiten hervorragend ergänzt: Der Gitarrist bewegt sich mühelos zwischen unterschiedlichen Stilwelten, umhüllt Melodien
sanft, unterstreicht den emotionalen Ausdruck der Songtexte und vertieft die atmosphärische Wirkung der
Stücke. Reaching for the Moon wurde im Juni 2025 in den Studios La Buissonne im Süden Frankreichs
aufgenommen. Das von Manfred Eicher produzierte Album erscheint zeitgleich mit einer Europatournee
von Elina Duni und Rob Luft, die Konzerte in Italien, Deutschland, dem Vereinigten Königreich, der Schweiz
und Albanien umfasst.

Ein moderner Blue-Note-Weihnachtsklassiker, erstmals auf Vinyl, als limitierte rote LP erhältlich.
Dianne Reeves, eine der herausragenden Jazz-Stimmen unserer Zeit, befand sich auf dem Höhepunkt
ihres Schaffens und hatte gerade drei GRAMMY-prämierte Alben in Folge veröffentlicht, als sie 2004 mit
„Christmas Time Is Here“ ihr erstes Weihnachtsalbum aufnahm. Begleitet wurde sie von ihrem langjährigen
Trio mit Pianist Peter Martin, Bassist Reuben Rogers und Schlagzeuger Greg Hutchinson. Hinzu kamen
hochkarätige Gäste wie Gitarrist Romero Lubambo, Saxophonist Steve Wilson und Vibraphonist Joe Locke.
Gemeinsam präsentieren sie frische und innovative Interpretationen bekannter Weihnachtsklassiker, von Balladen, gefühlvollen Liebesliedern und Folk-Arrangements bis hin zu schwungvollen Uptempo-Nummern und
von Bossa Nova geprägten Arrangements.
Seine Vinyl-Premiere feiert das zeitlose Album jetzt in weihnachtlichem Rot. Eine LP, die bei Fans ganz
sicher Jahr für Jahr zum Einsatz kommen wird

Mit „The Sermon!“ erscheint ein Jimmy-Smith-Klassiker in der Blue Note Tone Poet Serie. Die 1957
und 1958 entstandenen Aufnahmen bringen die ungezügelte Energie einer Live-Session ins Studio und
zeigen den Hammond-B3-Meister in Bestform. Unterstützt wird Smith von einer außergewöhnlichen AllStar-Besetzung mit Lee Morgan, Lou Donaldson, George Coleman, Tina Brooks, Kenny Burrell, Art Blakey
und weiteren Blue-Note-Größen. Das Album besteht aus nur drei ausgedehnten Stücken, die den Musikern reichlich Raum zur Entfaltung geben. Der bluesige Titeltrack nimmt die gesamte erste LP-Seite ein,
während das treibende „J.O.S.“ und die eindrucksvolle Ballade „Flamingo“ – mit einem herausragenden
Lee Morgan – die zweite Seite bilden. Soul Jazz und Hard Bop in Reinkultur, brillant eingefangen von
Tonmeister Rudy Van Gelder.

Rubbermaidxxx is a recent music performance project by the Irish artist Anna McCarthy, rather than simply the title of one autonomous artwork. Rubbermaidxxx is a character or unstable identity, an emancipatory underdog with a heart for daredevilry. The project sits naturally within McCarthy’s larger practice, which moves between drawing, assemblage, happenings and collective actions.

Clad in a black balaclava and fetish climbing wear, she abseils from buildings before entering the stage. For the first performance in New York City, she was invited by Kyp Malone of TV on the Radio to perform at his club Francis Kite Club in Alphabet City, NYC and since has continued to make a name for herself hanging off façades, singing, dancing and mopping the floor together with her performance collaborators Miss Philip a.k.a. Philip Errico and Michael Tapper at Pianos NYC, Kottbusser Tor and Genezarethkirche Berlin or the Villa Stuck Museum in Munich.

The album was produced in Munich and New York in 2025 in collaboration with her brother Nick McCarthy (Franz Ferdinand) and Anton Kaun (Rumpeln). What started as a quick improv turned into a high-energy 4-hour session of the siblings playing manic ball with beats, bass, guitars and vocals resulting in what laid the basis to this album. In the weeks following, Anna McCarthy, who is known for her cut-up production style, reminiscent of albums such as White Noise or Flying Lotus, continued to develop the vocals, performance and music by mixing in an amalgam of field recordings with her narrative spoken word, including sounds of protests, dollar stores or ice-cream trucks, as well as collaborating with the noise artist Rumpeln for the last two tracks of the album.

McCarthy is also known as the lyricist and singer of What Are People For? (debut 2022 on Alien Transistor) with its dystopic dance music candy-cane shows and equally humorously critical tongue-in-cheek bangers such as Bring back the Dirt, Drones or Partytime. Anna McCarthy's spoken word, social urgency and enthusiasm to experiment across mediums is comparable to other contemporaries such as Moor Mother, Miho Hatori, Gonjasufi, Tricky, or Cibo Matto.

The name itself is telling. Rubbermaidxxx evokes elasticity, artificiality, domestic labour and the commercial world of cleaning and garbage. It suggests a body capable of stretching, absorbing filth and cleaning up after society – only to revolt against the role it has been assigned.

Rubbermaidxxx is a master of deception, juggling fact and fiction as a reflection of our times – a diamond thief, a protester, or even responsible for the Louvre heist? This album invites the listener and viewer in, playfully dismantling hierarchies and power structures as she goes through a hopeful amalgam of dance, protest & love songs.

Jeff Parker's 2016 album The New Breed was a turning point for both Parker and International Anthem, changing the trajectory of his solo career as well as drawing an abundance of attention to our fresh imprint despite our then very limited catalog. Most importantly though, the album is the first to give voice to Parker's wholly unique take on sample-based beat construction augmented by improvisation and live instrumentation (performed in this case by the high-level crew of Paul Bryan on bass, Josh Johnson on alto saxophone and keys, Jamire Williams and Jay Bellerose on drums, Parker's daughter Ruby on vocals, and Parker himself on guitar, synths, and other instruments). What began as Jeff's interest in understanding his own idea of hip-hop processes (and how they related to his work in jazz) expanded into a blueprint for much of his work since then. (Hear also: The New Breed's expansive followup Suite For Max Brown, the gentle deconstructionist solo guitar of Forfolks, and the long-form slow bloom improvisation of

Matu Miranda has grown up in a state of constant movement. Changing homes, cities, schools, and horizons has shaped his worldview and fueled a body of work deeply informed by themes of displacement, transformation, and belonging. With APUAMA, his second album, the Brazilian singer, songwriter, and guitarist delivers his most personal work to date:a collection of songs exploring how we each construct our own sense of home through the encounters, departures, and returns that mark our lives. Driven by sensitive songwriting and organic production, APUAMA navigates a landscape of contemporary MPB, tropical folk, popular poetry, and Brazilian acoustic influences. From one song to the next, Matu charts an intimate journey where saudade is never synonymous with stagnation; instead,it becomes a driving forcethat compels him to move forward, discover, and forge connections. From the radiant landscapes of "E Bom Voltar" to the existential inquiries of "O Que Sera de Nos"-and the poetic manifesto of the title track, "Apuama"-the album tells the story of an artist learning to turn every place he visits into a form of home. The album also features notable collaborations with two of the most distinctive voices on the new Brazilian music scene.Singer-songwriter Josyaralends her sensitivity to "Ceu Azulzin," while Chico Chico joins Matu on "Estetica da Fome," a track inspired by major Brazilian cultural and social reflections. These collaborations extend the collective spirit that runs through the entire record and highlight Matu Miranda's ongoing dialogue with his artistic generation. The sound production was helmed by Leo Marques-a producer, sound engineer, and musician recognized as a key figure in Brazil's independent music scene. Marques notably won a Latin Grammy Award for his work on the album Sim Sim Sim by the group Bala Desejo, one of the most significant Brazilian records of recent years. This approach gives APUAMA a warm, vibrant, and timeless sound, allowing the songs to breathe and highlighting the richness of the acoustic arrangements. More than just a collection of songs, APUAMA is a journal of an inner journey. It is an album that speaks of movement, memory, nature, and the passing on of things-reminding us that, beyond borders, distances, and absences, there is always a place where one can feel at home.

For over a decade, Ciarán has been one of modern
music’s most intriguing and elusive creative voices. Best

2026 Repress

Italian-Iranian DJ/producer Sciahri lays down a deeply hypnotic seven- track EP on return to Mutual Rytm. Heading up the agenda-setting Sublunar label, which is one of Mutual Rytm boss SHDW's personal favourites, Sciahri has been deep in the scene for more than a decade ever since he turned heads with a debut on Ilian Tape in 2014. Well respected for his carefully balanced love of the classic sound with new school influences, always delivering cuts with a refined and personal touch, highlighted and showcased via his widely-loved ‘Pareidolia’ release series. Returning on the label following his appearance on the ‘Federation of Rytm IV’ compilation, he lands with a freshly evolved EP that kicks off with the much hyped ID, ‘Moonwake’. That cut is built on robust, rumbling drums and layered up with flashy synths that bring stark futurism to the dance floor. ‘Liminal’ follows a similar linear path with musical drums and synths that twist and twitch, firing your synapses while your body is locked to the rhythm, before ‘Night Sentinel’ transports you to a more eerie world of anxiousness and tension - the synths are spooky, and the sonar pulses keep you on edge as immersive drums race nonstop. ‘Unmoved’ lands heavy, the bulky kick drums coming on like a storm with howling synth winds adding to the all-consuming atmosphere. ‘Too Much Time’ closes out with a wall-rattling groove and subtle synth motifs that creep in the shadows. As always with the label, digital cuts ‘Silent Frontier’ - which gets dancers on their toes with a backlit synth glow - and ‘Louisiana’ - which brings a more psychedelic energy and hard, hammering groove, rounding out a stylish, meticulously produced offering.

The vinyl saga between Planet Rhythm and Derailed Records rolls on with a full album from none other than the mighty Tensal. Landing as a double 12", this release carries the unmistakable VVS signature: uncompromising, high-impact techno and a selection of heavyweight prime-time cuts made to ignite the dancefloor. We’re excited to welcome Tensal to the label, whose unmistakable sound makes this vinyl release a truly special addition to the catalogue. '' I Want VVS's More Than Ever ''

Our favorite London duo „ddwy“ are back on Public Possession with a 4 track EP titled „Tell Me, Told You“.
„Drink the real flowers“ is soft, emotional, cinematic stuff, giving hard late 90s early 2000s Trip Hop vibes. Check the B-Side for a very lush D.J. mix by „Stone“.
The title giving „Tell Me, Told You“ is peaking psychedelia, a warm, intense hug.
„Told You, Tell Me“ is orientated more towards the dancefloor and can surely create some serious ecstasy if played in the right moment.
In all this, the multiple layers of sounds intertwined with Naomi’s voice create one remarkable, organic whole that is full testament to the continuous evolution of these super talented musicians.
Dive in, fall slowly, land very gently.

DC Salas doesn’t do things by halves. Fresh off a June release on Enrica Falqui’s Plexus4, the Brussels-based producer wastes no time returning to his own Higher Hopes imprint and he’s brought a party with him.

Fiesta EP is a four-tracker with a split personality and zero apologies for it. The A-side is all business: Darkest Dream, already doing damage in Roza Terenzi’s sets and Consciousness lock in deep, hypnotic, and faster paced. Then the B-side happens. Fiesta Fiesta and Lost In My Memories raid the wreckage of new beat, proto-whatever and early 2000s electrohouse like they own the place. Fiesta Fiesta also marks fifteen years of DC Salas making music, celebrated, naturally, by vocodering his own voice and singing in Spanish.

HIGH005 follows Pixelated Dream Theory, which pulled support from DJ Masda, Ivan Smagghe, Evan Baggs, Enrica Falqui, Binh and many more. Back on home turf, no features, no compromises. Just DC Salas, in full.

DJ Support: Katia Curie, Inkasso, Lea Occhi, Chloe Caillet and many more


Chris Gerber & aljalj return with the second vinyl release on Computer Toys. Featuring three driving, bassline-led house cuts built for the dancefloor, the record closes with a spacious ambient finale, providing the perfect landing after the house journey.

"Surface Noise Isn’t A Crime" continues NOREPRESS’ exploration of texture, pressure, and imperfect sound as core elements of underground electronic music. Across four tracks, the release moves through Deep Tech House, Dub Techno, Electro, and Breakbeat without settling into fixed genre boundaries, balancing functionality with experimentation throughout.

A1. Tvardovsky feat. Andrey Zverev – Flute Meditation opens the record with a dense, slowly unfolding trip built on dub space, electro tension, and hypnotic Tech House movement. Organic flute phrases drift through layered percussion, evolving bass pressure, and spacious analog textures, creating a strange collision of futurism and nostalgia. The track resists obvious peak-time formulas, choosing gradual transformation over immediate impact and rewarding deeper immersion with every transition.

A2. Osman Öz – Regrets moves into softer territory without losing rhythmic weight. Warm breakbeat structures, airy melodic fragments, and fluid low-end movement give the track a calm but persistent momentum. Osman Öz keeps the arrangement restrained and precise, allowing groove and atmosphere to carry the emotional core of the composition naturally.

On the B-side, Kirill Matveev appears under his Natural Piece Of Aloe alias with two contrasting interpretations of the project’s dub-informed language.

B1. Salto Mortale is playful, unstable, and constantly mutating. Rhythms stretch and reorganize themselves around shifting tonal fragments, while the arrangement moves with the loose unpredictability of an improvisation session. Despite its complexity, the track never loses control, maintaining a strong forward pull through every unexpected turn.

Closing the record, B2. Columbo Beat, Kirill Matveev - Sundub pushes deeper into darker territory. Acid sequences slice through heavy dub atmospheres while rugged drums and saturated low-end pressure drive the track forward with raw physical energy. Distortion, space, and movement interact continuously, turning the track into a hypnotic late-night tool designed for more adventurous dancefloors.

"Surface Noise Isn’t A Crime" captures NOREPRESS at its most confident: raw textures, deep space, broken edges, and timeless club influences reconstructed into a modern dub-driven framework.

Keni Burke's signature hit 'Risin' To The Top' gets an official remastered, reissue alongside the 12 inch mix of his '81 killer jam 'You're The Best'.

'Risin' To The Top' quickly became a clear favourite of the soul crowd back in the '80s, with Keni's sensuous vocals, a timeless bassline of epic proportions and those dreamy, sunshine chords proving a winning combination. Since then countless producers, from the likes of Doug E Fresh and Slum Village, to LL Cool J and Mary J Blige, have utilised 'Risin' To The Top' as a choice sample for their own productions. A quick glance at this seemingly endless list, just goes to show how much of an impact this record ended up having.

On the flip, 'You're The Best', takes a more boogie paved path, filled with an undeniably groove laden bass synth, cosmic keys and Keni's infectiously soulful vocals. It's early eighties synth boogie at it's best, placing the electronic elements at the forefront whilst holding onto that unquestionable funk at its core.

Two Keni Burke classics for soul heads, sample spotters and anyone with a keen ear for a gem.

Headless Horseman delivers a masterpiece EP for Void+1 Recordings!

Split#5 marks the fifth and final installment of the Split series on the Various Artists catalogue of Pi Electronics, pairing Spanish producer Hurtado and Greek producer Nikitas Grs. Despite their distinct approaches, Hurtado's industrial-leaning broken beat funk and Nikitas Grs' psychedelia-infused noise techno converge through a shared aesthetic of textured sound design, raw energy and dark atmospheres. On the A-side, Hurtado showcases his trademark production style through the driving cuts "Show of Force" and "Bad Company", while "The End", featuring vocals by Genevieve GV, reveals a more experimental side of his production. The B-side welcomes Nikitas Grs with two compositions that blur the boundaries between techno, trance and industrial music. The live version of "Susano" unfolds as a rolling, hypnotic dancefloor trip, while "Anoriotos" balances heavy rhythmic impact with an underlying sense of ambient nostalgia. The digital bonus track, "Pollinator 5000", reveals yet another facet of Nikitas Grs' sound palette: a relentless piece of noise-techno that rounds off the release with uncompromising intensity.

MASA 007 sees DJ Sodeyama at his most incisive and introspective, delivering three cuts of direct, mental techno, complemented by a powerful remix from Atomic moog. Across four tracks, the record flows with clarity and purpose, driven by sharply defined drums and acid-tinged textures, while layered with expansive ambient pads and evolving atmospheres, resulting in a sound that is both forceful and deeply immersive. Atomic moog’s reinterpretation, a signature of this modular wizard duo, built around earthy psychedelic pads, field recordings and organic synths, cements MASA 007 as a refined statement of modern techno’s cerebral intensity and emotional depth.

Mutual Rytm's Versus sub-label returns with a dark, absorbing new EP from contemporary techno innovators Kameliia and BLANKA. Kameliia and BLANKA both previously appeared on Federation of Rytm IV and now step forward with their long-awaited debut EPs. It is another standout for Mutual Rytm's Versus series, which has already made an impact with two previous EPs from Regent and Chontane and Klint and Hemka. This third release subtly evolves the sound into more hypnotic and atmospheric worlds that bring fresh perspectives to the series. Bulgarian-born, Norway-based Kameliia’s music is rooted in cinematic, melancholic and hypnotic sounds. She translates deep emotions into immersive sonic landscapes inspired by nature, particularly the moon, the sky and their atmospheric qualities. Along with Berlin-based Spaniard BLANKA, she has released on labels such as SK_Eleven, while BLANKA also co-founded Room Trax and draws heavily on the human voice, which she considers one of the most personal and intimate instruments. She uses it to create an emotional, direct connection with the dance floor, with a clean, minimal, timeless style rich in emotion. Kameliia opens up with the weighty kicks and eerie atmospheres of 'Bird In A Cage' before 'Red Sky' layers taut kicks and icy synths into a hypnotic forward charge full of depth and darkness, then 'Lightness' has an unsettling and paranoid lead hanging in the air next to vocal fragments and haunting pads. BLANKA’s offering begins with tightly wound kicks and bass on the dubby 'Say It With Me'; 'Self Pleasure' is an immersive and rubbery rhythm with cosmic synth work, and 'Rabbit Habits' brings funky synth lines that radiate a sense of subtle light and hope amidst the darkness of the groove. Two digital bonus cuts from each artist follow: Kameliia's unsettling, dystopian soundscape 'No Longer A Desire' and the backlit suspense of 'Vivere', and BLANKA's gritty, loopy 'Dream VST' and the deep-space odyssey that is 'Gone For Good'.
