The debut EP from The Senka Project. Four tracks written and recorded by Dub Phizix and DRS, made entirely with real instruments, played live, and committed to tape. There's no fixed lineup behind The Senka Project. It's a name for when things are made this way. No stems, no templates, no clock to race. Just musicians in a room, following instinct, building something that only holds together because it's meant to. The Never Going Home EP includes 'Say It Ain't So', 'Playin In This Game', 'Flavoured Like' , and the title track. Each one cut from the same source, but heading somewhere different. Some move slowly. Some don't. All of them are part of the same quiet resistance. A commitment to method, not market.

Melbourne / Naarm stronghold Butter Sessionsclock 15 years in the game with a trilogy of 12s, sustaining their uncompromising streak of peak-form electronics. The family-style V/A binds friends, collaborators, former studio neighbours and DJ booth allies, capturing a label that exists as community as much as catalogue. Disc Two lifts off with recurring contributor Rory McPikes first label outing as Rings Around Saturn, a blissed-out cosmic floater skimming the periphery. Booked in the early days of the labels formative Mania residency, Japanese don Gonno twists freestyle, techno and breaks into pure ecstasy, before the unerringly bold Jennifer Loveless spikes the punch with a hallucinatory mix of drums, disembodied voice and jazz club keys. On the flip, Boorloos Guy Contact rolls out Dance In The Grey, a shadowy prog churn pitched between new-romantic vocal sheen and EBM muscle, with Kate Miller completely rewiring the script on Sub Series E - a masterfully minimal, double-time meditation. suki presents his Sniper1 alias to close with a demonic body-jacking groove loaded for the system. Whether taken alone or folded into the three-disc triptych, each instalment stands as a bag-ready constant, charged with Butter Sessions curatorial finesse.

The family-style V/A binds friends, collaborators, former studio neighbours and DJ booth allies, capturing a label that exists as community as much as catalogue. A new chapter in Butter Sessions ongoing Japanese exchange sees Sapporo sound sculptor Kuniyukire-opening a 2015 tour collaboration with label heads Sleep D- a deep, spatial beatdown powered by dub pressure and percussive hypnosis. Shadow-lurking prodigy Mosam Howiesondrops in with his trademark scatterbrain techno, while Hasvat Informantlocks into joint-consciousness big-room radioactivity. Opening the B-side, Fader Capfuses Balearic psy-ence with Mike Dunn-esque utilitarian jack, hovering somewhere between 80s memory and future vision. Tokyos Mayurashkafollows with Survival Guide, big beat colliding with drug chug, before Albrecht LaBrooyreunite for a divine chill-out tent slowdown, magnifying sample detail with exacting flow. Were adrift until Sunju Hargunlights the beacon with ???????(Sky Surfer), Thailands emissary of ritualistic minimal trance. Whether taken alone or folded into the three-disc triptych, each instalment stands as a bag-ready constant, charged with Butter Sessions curatorial finesse.
New music from legendary Adriatic DJ and producer Verdo is as rare as an MP3 in the golden age of disco. Which is why you should be hella excited for GRATIS CLUB, his first full-length album and a love letter to the iconic club he once called home in Senigallia. A true Loyal Hell Yeah Recordings member and consummate musician, Verdo brings his signature piano melodies to Italo disco, hi-NRG, and trance magic across X cuts that are equal parts dancefloor propulsion and cosmic exploration. GRATIS CLUB captures the energy, eccentricity and euphoria of the club Verdo played and directed, translating the pulse of a local institution into a timeless, high-voltage record. With previous releases on Danny Was A Drag King and this label, including his 2020 Symmetry EP, Verdo continues to prove he's one of Italy's best-kept secrets with this new album. GRATIS CLUB is a pure hit of unbridled Italo disco joy.
Launching the 'whirm' imprint in 2024, Will Hofbauer & Sangre Voss have dug into a unique space within the world of curious and bizarre electronic dance music, garnering support from the likes of Ben UFO, Mary Anne Hobbs, and many more. Rooted in years of quietly swapping ideas between basements, bedrooms, and long-haul trips abroad, 'whirm' has grown into a playground for the pair's shared fascination with the mildly absurd, and their determination to keep things fun while experimenting with new ways of releasing music. On this full-length offering, Will & Sangre culminate and compile the fruits of five years of collaboration, presenting ten infectious and eccentric compositions that span the full spectrum of the 'whirm' sound. With mastering from Rupert Clervaux and artwork by La Princesa Maria, the whirm LP captures the duo's singular chemistry, an organic ecosystem of squelched rhythms, lurching melodies, and oddball charm that continues to evolve as they dream up new ways for their music to grow and take shape. ~ whirm.online
Elf Traps is the new project from Rob Turner (former GoGo Penguin) and Liviu Gheorghe (former Matthew Halsall). Born of creative restlessness and deep friendship comes a wild, improvisation-driven sound world where acoustic drums, robotic percussion machines and synths interact in real time. Their debut release, Sunflowers In A Blue Sky, captured the energy of Elf Traps underground live shows in a focused two-track EP, blending Turners glitch-inflected drumming with Gheorghes expansive, textural synth work. The release attracted strong specialist radio support across BBC Introducing, BBC 6 Music, and Stuart Maconies Freak Zone, with Elf Traps named BBC Introducing One to Watch 2026. Their second EP expands the palette further. Blop is high-energy and percussive, driven by urgent rhythms and machine-human interplay, while New Moon moves into more hypnotic territory -- trippy sampled vocals, slow-burn grooves, and immersive atmospheres. Blending spiritual jazz, glitchy electronics, jungle, ambient and beyond, their sound draws on influences from Squarepusher, Kieran Hebden & Steve Reid, Buddhism, Star Trek and the organic forms of Friedensreich Hundertwasser -- shaping a kaleidoscopic sonic landscape that feels dreamlike, instinctive and entirely their own.
