Pacific Northwest-born producer Haelix arrives on Well Street Records with four heavyweight club cuts rooted in UKG and Bass, blending layered soundscapes with intricate 2-step rhythms and serious low-end pressure.

As Eerie Enterprise, upsammy and Piezo have funnelled their singular styles into a classic-feeling but ultra-modern album of elegant, angular electronica. With a strong melodic sensibility and a highly developed palette of playful sound design in their toolkit, the unexpected pairing grew spontaneous jams into a considered collaboration, and Places Remember Events is the end result. Individually, Thessa Torsing and Luca Mucci have carved out strong identities within contemporary electronic music. As upsammy, Torsing has applied a delicate precision to ambient and uptempo approaches alike, building up a striking catalogue of releases including her 2020 LP for Dekmantel, Zoom. Meanwhile, Mucci has taken a wayward path through contemporary bass music and techno that matches edgy sound design with playful unpredictability. As Eerie Enterprise, both artists tap into their respective creative instincts while arriving at a unique sound with a nurturing quality they were both missing from modern dance music. Having appreciated each other's work for some years, in July 2024 Torsing and Mucci seized an opportunity to carve out two days in the studio. There was no expectation of an end product, but the sketches conceived during those open-ended, hardware-oriented sessions felt worthy of a deeper exploration developed and finalised over the following year-and-a-half. Places Remember Events has an unapologetically nostalgic streak, calling to mind the warm glow of melodically-charged, golden-era electronica. The twitchy rhythmic make-up of tracks like 'Decay + Collapse' and 'Folding Origin' speak to the duo's shared affinity for ravey energy, but even within faster frameworks they lean into half-time space to maintain a light-footed agility that allows the relatively busy arrangements to feel grounded and patient rather than frantic. There's an appreciation for mystery in the emotional make-up of many of the tracks, not least in the slithering textural exploration and spatial tension of 'Capsule', but elsewhere fragile melancholia guides the melody direction of 'Superradiance' and 'Things Fall Upwards'. The final impression is crisp and modern while delivering an accessible experience that seeks to soothe rather than shock when so much contemporary club music tips towards uneasy intensity. Finding malleable approaches to their chosen sonics and applying them to intentional song structures, Eerie Enterprise collectively land on a sound that promises a lasting reward for the repeat voyager satisfying headphone gear in the grand tradition of introspective electronic music, but also with a physical immediacy that will manifest in the live set upsammy and Piezo have put together to perform later in the year.

STORIES label boss and Radio 1 tastemaker Sarah Story welcomes Scottish DJ and producer Alex Culross to the label with ‘Inside Your Mind’, a dark and seductive house cut that showcases the more controlled, hypnotic side of his production. The track settles into a deep, rolling groove, driven by an infectious up-and-down bassline and hypnotic synths that gradually draw you further into its mood, building tension and atmosphere without giving everything away too early. Alex has rapidly established himself as one of the UK’s most exciting rising electronic artists, with a Beatport #1 to his name and support from Skream, Jamie Jones, Solardo, Marco Carola and Michael Bibi. His recent run includes ‘Burn Tonight’ with Carl Cox and Alan Fitzpatrick, while his collaboration with Ejeca, ‘Rhythm of the House’, became one of the biggest tracks of summer 2026, reaching the Top 10 of both the Beatport Overall and House Charts. With ‘Inside Your Mind’, Alex brings that growing momentum to STORIES with a record that feels right at home on Sarah Story’s forward-thinking platform.

Since FatKidOnFire's inception, over the last 16 years we've pushed the true 140 sound without following one narrow formula - beats, bass and space leaves a lot to interpretation! Our taste has evolved as the genre has, from stripped-back pressure and 4x4 weight to deeper, more dub-oriented releases. What connects everything in the FKOF Records back catalogue is character, intent and a commitment to music that leaves a lasting impact.\n\nTogether, the FKOF Records team has helped to shape our catalogue through an A&R approach built around atmosphere, pressure and personality. But our next release began differently. Olaf aka Korrupt felt it was time for change, both within ourselves and in the sound around us.\n\nOver the last few years, Olaf has found himself drawn further into the underground freetekno scene: psychedelic, uptempo techno built for free parties, open-air rigs and long squat nights without boundaries. Immersed in that raw energy, he began questioning the state of the dubstep material around him. Had parts of the sound become too safe? Too polished? Has the edge that first pulled so many of us in been softened over time? \nThose questions became the foundation of the 64th outing on FKOF Records, the 'Ephemeral' EP from French producer L'Enfant D'La Plebe. This is a release that is raw, beautiful and impossible to ignore. Rooted in sub-bass, rhythm and atmosphere, it pushes beyond familiar dubstep boundaries without losing its physical weight. Elrich's unfiltered musicality, instinctive sound design and balance of intensity and emotion made this EP impossible for Olaf to overlook.This is also, as far as we are aware, our first EP wholly produced using hardware! \n\n'Paradise' arrives at full speed before unfolding into vibrant textures, confident sub-bass and spacious percussion, pulling the listener far beyond the dancefloor. A sense of melancholy soon takes hold, as bitcrushed bass and fragile choirs collide with striking confidence. By the second drop, the track reveals its full force, bringing every element together in a moment that feels both weightless and intensely physical.\n\nTrack two, 'Cirrus', is a deceptively innocent production that shifts the moment its first drop lands. From there, the track pulls you into a dreamscape of bass weight, soaring highs and psychedelic percussion. That combination drives the release forward with restless energy, balancing a sense of weightlessness with overwhelming physical force. At times, 'Cirrus' feels almost celestial: a fallen angel descending through clouds of distortion, pressure and low-end intensity. \n\n'I Just Want To Fly' starts with a slow rise. Low-end immediately disperses beneath the shallow kicks, while the atmospherics gradually take off, hand in hand with confident percussion. Before you know it, a snare, violin and violent growl slowly guide all the existing elements towards their final destination: an explosion of emotion. As the beautiful notes begin to bounce off the chords, the entire ensemble comes together as the epitome of L'Enfant D'La Plebe's distinctive sound. A brief pause gives the track one final, magnificent push into the sky. Close your eyes and you might just find yourself flying. \n\nShallow, morphing choirs open 'Noir de Jais', while a highly polished 4x4 kick is chased by a dark bassline and intriguing glitches. Slowly but steadily, hi-hat action and endlessly evolving soundscapes fill the stereo image, creating a precious loop of frequency-shooting stars. A pad then begins to jump up and down, pushing the track towards its second drop and ping-ponging you through the realms of L'Enfant D'La Plebe's fundamental genius for track creation. He makes you feel as though you're listening to a dubstep-esque production, with the snare almost landing on the third beat. It is these twisted, recurring details that made us fall in love with the distinctive sound of the French genius.

Son Of first surfaced in 2015 with Social Zombies on Opal Tapes. A decade on, he returns with YYY on his own label, Digital Empathy, the fifth in its sinister futurism catalogue. Unconventional minimalist Detroit electro, eroded IDM, 8-bit dungeonstep, and deconstructed funk interlace into one unifying sonic world of YYY. The dawn of the anti quasi-replica is here. Only taste will survive.
