Experiential Assist is a multidisciplinary project based in Slovenia. Our 10th release features him surfing through genres and showing the old school in his new way. Enjoy the ride!

Here we have part 2 of our 010 series which celebrates the now eleven day by day releases!
With the days flying by, we hope these two various artists will help you celebrate the finite days we have on our beautiful green rock!

Starting off on the A1 we have Terrarium from ‘Primitive Needs. This techy progressive bouncing tune will keep them heads bopping!

On the A2 we have a unique track from Anderson. You can hear a cocktail of genres blending psytrance, breaks, trance, electro and more!

On the flip side, we start off with a deep and bass heavy bouncing jam from Guy Contact!

To close out the release, Valdemar brings us a deep and acid fueled cut to darken up your dance floor!

Flutter is the fourth release from Simpler Times and features 3 beautifully crafted cuts from Tys.

!Karnak Calling! !الكرنك يتحدث!

We are thrilled to announce the first KOA release. Karnak On Acid record label was born after a mystical trip to Luxor. In this first EP, Ramez, an up and coming Egyptian talent has produced 4 groovy and trippy tracks. With its unique oriental electronic touch, this record will transport you on a journey to the magical Karnak Temple.

Shut your eyes, can you feel it? It's X2SEE…
Creating the first batch on the freshly pressed X2SEE label is the Norwegian chemist, A:G. Starting on a high, the“Impulses” EP explores deep shades of electro and rushes of techno throughout, a familiar sound from the flourishin producer in years gone by.

Acid tinged melodies, and punchy broken drums are a consistent theme throughout the first high from X2SEE, ripe and ready straight from the realms of the underground. Transcending and spaced out sounds tease in and outthroughout the EP in the likes of “Catching Up” and “That’s Not The Moon”, with hints of trance and progressive
energy in “Let It Go”.

A:G striking whilst it's hot with further dynamic output!

As the siren’s song echoes out of systems worldwide, perhaps we are (re)turning to the liquid age of dance; with natural ephemera such as moss, sentiments for ecology such as swamps, and mercurial aspects of water all absorbing the aesthetic forefront. A return to nature, a deep dive under the lily pads. Here Marijn with her debut EP guides our plunge, a trip previously taken via her podcasts on Kulture Lab, where you can also find her previously released music.

Whispers from the ethereal plane drift around the headspace, a rumble in the distance of sound traversing the water, voices to guide and to keep you from floating too far from the line. Audio hallucinations are aplenty when submerged, a serenity of space, yet distant growls assure that peace is not always 2 be found. The melancholia within the daydream, the pang of loss caught in reflections, internal and from the water, with the lily pads floating above as a guiding entity, an anchor, something to hold. Under the lily pads we rumble.

On the flip everyone’s fav casual breaks n rave hooligan Luca Lozano asks the recurring thought within dance music, a question we quest, yet rarely want the answer. Abstraction via squeaks and tweaks, you better bop your bleepin’ head to this 1.

‘Leave A Message’ leaves the tranquil waters disturbed and rippling to the outer edges, providing jumps for the lily pads to ride on the incoming tide, with the ebb and flow making way for a storm surge. Aka big beats are the best, a notion the directly honest final track ‘Made (Drums)’ follows, bringing a twisted jack attack logic to a deranged assembly of samples, a manic orchestra of tumbling drums who have conspired to freak out, albeit with cute bubbles underneath to revel in the allure of sonic mania.

Kalipo prepares to launch his new album Happy Little Accidents, which counts with twelve electro-focused tracks as well as the participation of feature artists Rampue, Ira Atari, Oberst & Buchner and subkutan. Iconic 80s painter and TV host, Bob Ross is celebrated for his thirty-minute landscapes, recognizably soothing voice as well as the 'happy little quotes' he imprinted on pop culture. One of Ross' most memorable turns of phrase, "We don't make mistakes; we just have happy accidents," went on to encourage thousands worldwide. And not just painters. "For me, this album was about letting the songs develop very quickly and not evaluating them too much, or trying to avoid mistakes," says German electronic music producer, Kalipo (Jakob Häglsperger) who named his latest release Happy Little Accidents after Ross' signature phrase. "Bob Ross really impressed me as a child, he was always so accessible to everyone and demonstrated how easy it was for anyone to work creatively," says Kalipo, who translated Ross' fast and instinctive wet-on-wet painting technique to music-making on Happy Little Accidents. The 12 tracks that make up PART I and PART II of the album are a celebration of the method - sometimes it's a floaty journey with tinkering sounds, at other times dark fast beats create the core of the music, but there's always a sense of intuition and heart driving Kalipo's productions.

Fetter Vocal Club Sound...

Grubs up! Let’s go…
The LVCA & Marlon story continues with some not so fine dining on the newly launched Proper Grub label. The “On The Metro” EP is bursting with animated and energetic action for the dance floor synonymous with the guys' productions in recent times on Ibiza Sound Machine and Sock It To Me.

Each of the four tracks teases playful moods constructed upon tightly arranged bass lines, wacky percussion grooves, and crisp drum patterns. All of the ingredients come together to create refined and tasteful flavours for the club, cooking on full gas all night long.

Dinner is well and truly served!

Hoarder present Thurman with Lead For Speed EP

Partisan sub label PILLZ continues to fire on all cylinders in 2023, this time Anthea & Velasco call on UK beatmakers; Duowe & Picasso. The Fraise Records founders showcase their diverse sound with the Twisted Traxx EP, spaced out and gritty peak time action from the rising trio, touching on refined and mysterious shades of tech house and electro with a distinct drive. The third outing on the PILLZ off shoot, this club curious four tracker undoubtedly fitting the ethos of the label.

Our fourth analysis of frequencies from the void above resulted in a recollection of sounds obtained from the catastrophic death of an atom in another dimension. FTVA04 consists of four cuts by Chilean producer MOYA81.

On the A-Side the record opens with Decode, a slow-burning intro to this journey. A2, Akasha is a modern take on electro with italo elements where the hectic bassline is in constant conversation with the apocalyptic pads and sound effects.

The B-Side affirms the feelings generated on the A-Side, opening with A World Beyond, a 7 minute journey through the depths of this atomic catastrophe. B2, Face Of The Future closes the record with an intelligent expression on MOYA’s synth driven style where the vocal and groove take us on a never-ending journey.

“Accept the existence of the void as a real entity, in which atoms can move and rearrange themselves”.

Brand new Bastard Jazz signing Buscrates comes out of the gate swinging with his first release for the label full of the bubbling, electronic funk he's become known for. "Lost & Found" features the vocal talents of Sally Green over a slappin' bassline, guitar licks and airy synths while "Cruise Control" goes on an instrumental ride with it's heavy drums, catchy g-funk lead and growling bass. Another funky affair from the Pittsburgh producer.

After three EP's in his own name, and one with Moreno Ácido at Holuzam, Diogo makes his debut 12” in the Discos Extendes series with “FINALMENTE!”. In a singular appropriation of the vast legacy of rave culture, Diogo crosses, along four tracks, a certain time span between the 90's and the 2020's, with all kinds of recycling and updates that the exercise entails. Syncopated rhythmic patterns, robust basses, junglist echoes, haunted voices or celestial pads make up a revivalist sound palette, here rearticulated beyond linear structures. “Até Segunda” sets the tone in territories close to Objekt's Theme from Q in a live sound design amidst sudden disturbances and rallying hooks. Tracks 2 and 3 stand out for their plot twists: “Ponto de Não Retorno” starts with a frenetic breaky maze before get immersed in a oneiric landscape, and “What?!” progresses gently within Vancouver coordinates to be opened to a schizophrenic rawness that, from there, completely remakes the track. “Errar É Ok” is an exercise of decompression, melodically woven, with a dreamy coda pointing to nostalgic horizons. Violet closes the EP with a muscular version of “Ponto de Não Retorno”. "Finalmente!" marks for this unstable balance between familiarity and strangeness, intuitiveness and disturbance, euphoria and immersion. Tracks for the dance floor, yes, with a twist, to be rediscovered as often as you like.

Accomplished duo Paradigm Shift debuts on Lone Romantic with a powerful new single that comes remixed by cult electronic hero Nathan Fake.

Paradigm Shift is a dynamic duo pushing the boundaries of sonic exploration with a mix of ethereal melodies and pulsating beats. The Dallas, Texas pair of Coy Wright and Trent
Pawley make everything from ambient downtempo to high-energy electro and have since their early days in the mid-90s. They show here that they are still very much at the forefront with a sound as fresh as ever.

The cinematic 'Force One' is a smooth electronic cruise on snappy drums and languid synths. It's a carefully layered track with cosmic drama coming from the evolving leads and scattered hits and one that will sweep up the dance floor and take it to all new levels.

Border Community, Ninja Tune, and Cambria Instruments associate Nathan Fake has been crafting leftfield sounds for 20 years. He is a true innovator who paints with his synths and crafts some of dance music's most immersive sounds. He flips 'Force One' into a more kinetic cut that is dense with scintillating synth craft, oversized hi hats and melancholic leads. It makes for an epic journey that never stops shifting and seducing.

This is another adventurous package from the always forward thinking Lone Romantic.

‘Force One’ (incl. Nathan Fake Remix) by Paradigm Shift is available on Lone Romantic from 29th September 2023.

On his fifth album as VC-118A, Samuel van Dijk is using his evolved electro practice to explore the notion of change - a universal constant which keeps us barrelling towards unknown futures. 2021's Spiritual Machines found van Dijk edging his sound into downtempo and experimental pastures.

On the follow-up, Waves of Change, crooked machine rhythms and richly developed tones and textures spool from his trusted bank of outboard tools, while a subtle drop in tempo widens the space for the atmospheric sound design to weave its magic.

Balancing the disciplines of machine-powered sequencing and hand-shaped sound to render his ideas in sonic form, the continued evolution of VC-118A results in another mesmerising record steeped in craft and loaded with intention.
