Starting in 2021 the critically acclaimed Next Wave Acid Punx series has seen Luca Venezia, aka Curses, celebrate the music that has shaped both his life and career. Across the first two compilations Luca took us from the industrial and post-punk sounds of the late 70s, through the emergence of EBM, new beat and freestyle in the 1980s and onto the music he both makes and plays himself in clubs today. Bringing the series to a close Next Wave Acid Punx TROIS sees the Berlin-based musician and DJ return full circle, this time exploring the sounds that first initiated him into Brooklyn's rave scene and the music that, in some way, continues to embody its eclectic spirit today. Spread across three 2LPs and 3CDs Next Wave Acid Punx TROIS captures a moment whose influence can still be heard reverberating around clubland today. With the nascent rave scene obliterating boundaries, this was a moment where the darker, harder industrial electronic sounds of the mid 1980s were crashing headfirst into the ecstatic wave that was washing over clubland creating thrilling juxtapositions. Whether in the clubs and warehouses of New York, London, Frankfurt, Valencia and beyond, electronic music would never be the same again as countless new genres we take for granted today were born from the chaos and energy that had been unleashed. Featuring 46 hard-to-find, new and exclusive tracks, Next Wave Acid Punx TROIS both documents that fertile period and shows how, despite rumours to the contrary, that early anarchic spirit can still be found today. From the Detroit Techno of Model 500 to Nitzer Ebb's EBM and the proto-Trance of Age of Love and onto brand new tracks from some of today's best producers such as Zaatar, Italo Deviance and Leona Jacewska, this compilation closes out a series that has to date revelled in exploring the darker corners of clubland in uplifting style. This is Chapter 2.

With "Sunrise Dream Vol. II", Polifonic Records continues its exploration of music conceived for transitional states: those moments where time loosens its grip and sound becomes the primary mode of perception. This is not a compilation built around genre or function, but a curated statement rooted in atmosphere, physicality, and shared experience. The release brings together a selection of artists aligned with the Polifonic ethos, each contributing a track that reflects a precise moment on the dancefloor: when night gives way to morning, bodies slow down, and awareness sharpens. Here, music operates as an environment rather than a sequence - immersive, continuous, and deeply physical. Across the record, house, electronica, acid and breaks intersect without hierarchy. Rhythms remain grounded yet fluid, textures are stripped back but intentional, and melodic elements appear only when necessary. The result is a cohesive sonic landscape that privileges tension, space, and emotional clarity over excess. Sunrise Dream Vol. II is shaped by collective presence. It draws from the energy generated by dancers moving together in prolonged states of listening, where repetition becomes hypnosis and subtle variations carry meaning. These tracks are designed to be felt as much as heard - music that resonates through the body before reaching the mind. This second volume reinforces Polifonic Records' commitment to releases that function beyond the club: records that document a moment, a feeling, and a way of inhabiting sound. Sunrise Dream is not an endpoint, but part of an ongoing dialogue between music, place, and the people who gather around it.
