Z2
We are very excited to welcome Klahrk to the fold on ACEN059. The London-based artist & founder of Ware Collective follows up releases with the likes of Activia Benz, Genot Centre and SFX. On the Z2 EP, he delivers four atmospheric slow-fast club cuts, exploring the lowest depths of the frequency spectrum. The title track opens proceedings with sonic interference, cavernous percussion and deep bass giving way to kicks dictating a tough, chugging rhythm. The track shapeshifts with inventive percussive work and glitched-out noise - pitched-down snares hammering down amongst stammering inhuman voices and hyperspeed hi-hats. Interference begins with phasing sci-fi percussion before propelling into a high-intensity percussive work-out. Jackhammer noise builds the tracks intensity to a fever pitch whilst chopped vocal samples inject a dancefloor energy into the mechanised atmosphere. Got2Be kicks off the second half of the release with eerie sub work and sound design before a pitched-down vocal ushers in an apocalyptic low-slung groove. The vocal sample elaborates further in an ominous breakdown before reaching out into a massive kick-driven rhythm. On the closing track, Klarhk invites Buenos Aires-based artist Kattie to collaborate on On The Circuit. A frenzied, arpeggiated synth dances amongst pummeling drums and syncopated subs, culminating in moments to cause mayhem in the dance.

Waves EP
Call it Footworkjungle!

While Bloodstone EP was an ad-lib-rich, all-out breakbeat assault, the Bristol/Leicester duo go deeper on Waves EP, focusing on big emotions over sharp beats.

Spherae
'Spherae' marks the return to scenes of Turin-based producer and DJ Alec Pace landing now on Infinite Machine with a mind-melter EP aimed for the club. Following a 2-year long hiatus from his latest original work 'Future Now?' and previous releases on acclaimed labels such as All Centre and Nous Disques, the Italian producer delivers a new psychedelic blend of post-grime and experimental-bass condensed into a powerful club-ready 4-tracker. Opening track 'Preemah' is a dance-floor heater which plays with the alternation of perpetual crescendos and heavy kick-drops, the rhythmic session is based on a glitchy jersey-club beat while the melodic elements work with uplifting synthesizers and heavy manipulated field recordings. The explorations continues into title track 'Spherae', a peak-time 'ode to speed' which twists elements and a rhythmic session borrowed from the D'n'B scene while mangling them with 'pointillistic' synthesizers and hyper-effected spooky vocals. 'Khroma' follows next, a dark and psychedelic roller which will bring the listener into more obscure sound landscapes which delivers robotic GQOM-inspired beats with overdriven-glitchy synthesizers and tribalesque chants. The alien-shaped beats of 'Qubo' closes-down the release with its glitchy-old-skool-electro vibe, combining a rhythmic session which borrows elements from the old-skool electro with analog generated percussions and field recordings. While touching GQOM-esque and post-grime atmospheres and both pushing BPM-speed limits forwards, 'Spherae' explores further into experimental-territories yet remaining true to its club nature.

Revelation Waves / Who's yr Imaginary Friend?
Heralding spring in an April shower of effervescent synth flair and crooked beat science, PM+ welcomes the first buds of Ralph Bass Clef Cumbers new project, Myriad Myriads. Anyone who has been keyed into Cumbers sound from his early maverick dubstep cuts through the modular manifestations via love letters to rave and beyond wont need to be sold on checking this release out. Hes got a masterful style which is raw and dexterous in equal measure, not least when it comes to the synth voices he sculpts. Strapped to acutely angled, heaven-sent kicks to maximize the energy in the club, Revelation Waves spirals around the most uplifting of FM synth licks a chrome plated tone which positively commands pure joy without a lick of saccharine on its surface. As a counterpoint, Whos yr imaginary friend? dials back the drums and weaves together more luminescent melodic threads over some positively rude bass spasms. Both cuts guarantee giddy emotional responses and endorphin rushes aplenty, both on and off the floor.

Ai Amor EP
Stepping out of the frying pan and into the fire, eatmybeat welcome Belgian producer D-Nite to the label. He brings the heat on his latest release after previous drops on signature labels such as Erbium Records, Fine Grains and excess. This five track EP titled 'Ai Amor EP' explores a variety of styles including UK Funky, Bass and a unique take on drum-driven Techno. The Liège based artist displays his production prowess with immaculate synth design and ethereal soundscapes. We open with 'Ominous Arrival', which as the name suggests, lures you into its depths with ghostly vocals and succulent melodies. You won't be misled when the drums kick in and set the fist-pumping club energy, which carries throughout the EP. 'Sine DNA' is the natural progression, introducing synth patterns and pads which sound like they originated off-planet, with the drums still packing that oomph. 'Circular' begins to lean into the techno side of D-Nite's musical expression, while still building from the previous tracks with new tastes and textures. The hypnotic synth lines weave in and out as the bass goes deeper. The vibe switches as we move onto 'Ai Amor', tempting the tastebuds with its tantalising UK funky tones, whilst experimenting with bongo patterns galore - this one's punchy but sweet, like grapefruit. Finally, the project wraps up with 'Amargo' which brings all the previous tracks together in a crescendo of synth stabs, bleeps, and rolling drums. 1

For the People
'... is serving' no. 5 delivers an eclectic three-track Ballroom blowout. Merging throbbing techno rumbles with frenzied Latin undercurrents, Jaymie Silk's 'For the People' unleashes an idiosyncratic bouquet of percussive Fast House alongside a stripped Techno rendition by Bogota's Confidential Recipe. 'For the People' is a track built for the night's energetic apex: Cycling through crushing bars of stripped rumble and frenetic Djembe lines, Jaymie encapsulates the feverish energies of his Ballroom background in a percussion-driven anthem centred around a soulful vocal burning with desire. Confidential Recipe's technoid rendition strips 'For the People' to its pulsing core. A morphing layer of metallic resonance and compact drums channel the original's exuberance into an eerily vibrating and brutally efficient big-room weapon. Merging mangled Techno drums with Samba-inspired whistles and woodwinds, 'Feel that Ass' unfolds a raw and unapologetic firestorm of Latin percussion, scorching drum work, and seductive vocal chops. Both DJs have graced our booth with their high-energy sets in the past – now, Jaymie Silk and Confidential Recipe return to deliver a genre-defying vision of unbounded physicality. A fierce embodiment of undiluted Ballroom energy is served.

Iter
This is to immerse yourself in a sonic journey that fuses the divine with the contemporary. Iscariott takes us through a unique musical landscape, where the sacred chants of the monks intertwine with abstract rhythms ranging from the most pulsating techno to the frenzy of Drum and Bass. "Iter" is more than an EP, it is a transcendental experience that challenges the boundaries of electronic music. Each track is a gateway to the mystical, an invitation to explore the depths of the soul through the power of music. From the first bars to the last echo, Iscariott masterfully guides us through a sonic universe where the sacred and the electronic converge in perfect harmony. This EP is a celebration of spirituality in the digital age, an affirmation that the divine can manifest itself in unexpected and surprising ways.

Following up from work on Björk´s 'Fossora', Icelandic trio 'sideproject' debut on SVBKVLT with their new full-length album 'sourcepond'. Taking influence from the fog-covered wetlands of their native island, sideproject transfigure influences from the low-end frequencies of grime and bass music, and reshape it into a haze of transient-smeared beats accompanied by breathy synths that grow ever wetter till they slip beneath the surface tensions of their harmonic stratum. Compared to previous output, 'sourcepond' opts for a more concise approach to their music, stacking up their influences of experimental electronic, Icelandic punk and contemporary club music, and builds a sound that oscillates between melodic hooks and experimental rhythms. Each track carves through the sensuous material, pulling the listener into the dank sourcepond as though magnetic forces were guiding a bird's beak towards misty horizons.

Aerosol
Eterna - the new label from Lisbon run by local mainstay Maria Amor - presents its first release 'Aerosol' by another of the city's most interesting electronic music artists, BLEID. A true sonic polymath, BLEID is known for their range as a music-maker and as a DJ: ambient, techno, reggaeton, guitar-led jams are all an integral part of their musical lexicon. In this EP, though, all eyes are most definitely on the dancefloor. Opener 'Rubber Band Land Calling' is an off-kilter percussive exercise held together by subby kicks that can't seem to stand still, punctuated with lush pad washes that breathe life and optimism into the otherwise defying atmosphere. Joyful resistance in a track. Drum experimentalism is also served in 'Hellastic Fantastic', with snares taking center stage and the kick pattern zig zagging dynamically between broken motifs and four to the floor hypnotism. Things remain on an ever-changing drum-led tip - but get slightly darker - in 'New Age Waste', all sound design impact and perfectly executed leftfield drum programming that wants us to shake our hips, not just bang our heads, as we dance. 'Desce', homonymous to BLEID's party series, feels like an homage to queer rave innovation by referencing iconic vocal and hoover hooks over a broken, genre-defying dance beat. Bored Lord steps in for the first remix of the record: the iconic American artist, part of the T4T LUV NRG family, picks up BLEID's opening track and turns it into an imaginative breakbeat-led groover where vibes reign supreme. Local legend and a key part of the Principe family Nidia redefines cadency and swing with a complex but natural - and expertly sculped, watch out for the sound design on this one - reinterpretation of 'Hellastic Fantastic'. A hair-raising finale to an EP that screams fresh perspectives: the way we make music and dance is changing and Eterna is here to document it.

Seekers
SPLOT kicks off 2024 with the second VA compilation, defining the contours of the label between local-gems discoveries as well as emblematic international producers in the bass field. Seekers VA starts off mystically. Our own SPLOT ambassador dadan karambolo shows his identity within the 140 BPM realm and modern areas of the UK bass sound in the pulsating track roll of thunder. One-half of a Warsaw duo Private Press, Blu Terra takes you straight into moody sci-fi territory with Zero Reasons, a hybrid blend of electrifying bass and electro music territories. Dont be fooled by opening on a high, this belter of a tune keeps rising and rising. Then comes Xen Chron with his energetic bass floater. Ice Flight glistens and shines while pounding heavily with bass and jumpy rhythm. The title track, courtesy of Low End Activist, is his take on retrofuturistic grime and 90s-like IDM mutations. Sliding bass and cold samples conduct this tune through a wide range of auras. All bound together by bouncy drums. Warsaws live act and producer Lotus Reaction provided Nolly a dexterously arranged synth jam, something hes very much known for on the local club scene. Beautiful ambient outro completes this unique hybrid. Next up, Dawn Razor goes deeper into a clubnight madness with his techno-infused bass tune. Dextrose starts with tangled syncopated rhythms and unfolds into a dancefloor tool of the highest order. Hailing from Wrocaw, Donija slows things down. Twitchy Noise lets the bass and drums present themselves in full colour, by leaving much space between hits and at the same time eaving nothing to be desired. Entire brings the subtle tribal workout in Our Falsehood. His trademark organic sound takes over, serving as an atmospheric background to swift drum and bass. A masterful closing is brought to you by Berlin-based Katiusha, who cooked up a difficult to label but extremely captivating track Creeper Deluxe. Her forward-thinking, psychedelic take on SPLOT sound serves as a perfect conclusion of the VA.

Fusion Remixes 02/03
Len Faki assembles second star-studded Fusion Remixes instalment The Berliner recruits his favourite producers for the second edition of 'Fusion' reworks Berlin-based renowned techno artist Len Faki has announced the second instalment of his Fusion remix trilogy, out 19th April on his label imprint Figure. Nearly a year on from the original LP release, Fusion Remixes 02/03 reminds us of the versatility and musical expansiveness of Len Faki's latest masterwork. The Berliner has hand-picked his favourite producers, from ANNA to Modeselektor, to reimagine eight originals on the second double 12' EP of the Fusion Remixes collection, following January's first instalment. Part two of the trilogy kicks off with 'Sexuality (My Reality)', recrafted by Len himself under the moniker Hardspace into a rasping stomper, adding a cacophony of hit hats into the mix using his understanding of floor dynamics. Fusion deep cut 'Shri Yantra' gets the club treatment next, with Luke Slater's Deep Heat remix ramping up the intensity, transporting the original's delicate synth textures into a high octane screamer. On the B-side, Amotik morphs the bouncing 'Make Me Scream' into a one-way tunnel of haunted voices and pummeling percussion, while the sharp breakbeats and warm synths give Ploy's rework of 'Raum 422' a distinctly old school feel. Next up, ANNA crafts the album highlight two-parter 'Hymn' into a club anthem with thick low end and intricate topline melodies, and 'Astra' gets a rework from the man Len Faki himself on a lean Beat Room mix crawling with otherworldly sound effects. Closing this second remixes EP out, Fusions lead single 'Don't Be Stupid Day' is reinterpreted as an ominous, distorted fever dream by Modeselektor, before Beste Hira's take on 'Waver'. Stay tuned for part three of the remix trilogy, bringing even more of the Fusion originals back in a new guise.

Akoma
"Jlin's detailed and meticulous exploration of rhythm's inner and outer reaches has made her one of the most distinctive and recognisable voices within both the electronic and classical music worlds. Her compositions are consistently appealing and have an accessibility to them, yet often defy expectations. She exists within her own locus solus - no matter the collaborator, no matter where sounds ultimately lead her. Whatever the situation – from composing the Pulitzer Prize shortlisted 'Perspective' for Third Coast Percussion, to 'Godmother' her AI-powered collaboration with Holly Herndon, Jlin always expresses her outlook to the fullest.  Her new album 'Akoma' sets a new benchmark in her personal road map, not only since the album features guest appearances from Björk, Philip Glass and Kronos Quartet but for her continued sonic persistence and resistance. Jlin does what Jlin does and it's beloved across genres, across scenes and across generations. 'Akoma' is a new entry point into her sound and a new approach for both those who have been following diligently and those who are just now entering her world. So how did she get here? Here's a rundown for those looking for the facts. She was both a math nerd and a steel factory worker. She got inspired by Footwork and started making tracks with mentorship assistance from RP Boo and DJ Rashad, but her music was far from typical for footwork from the get-go. In 2011, she released her first track 'Erotic Heat' on the Planet Mu anthology 'Bangs & Works Vol.2.' Fashion designer Rick Owens heard it and invited her to soundtrack his Paris Fashion Week show. Already before an EP or an album Jlin was in new cutting-edge territory. And it hasn't stopped since. Everyday Jlin wakes up early and clocks into her home studio working hard on new music. Her discipline and craft-like approach means that those who would try to copy her sound simply can't get to the level she is at. Since 'Erotic Heat' she has released two bold albums, 2015's 'Dark Energy' and 2017's 'Black Origami.' She has also released her soundtrack to Company Wayne McGregor's dance piece 'Autobiography' (2018) and most recently (2023) the mini-album 'Perspective.' She's remixed µ-Ziq, Factory Floor, Ben Frost, Max Richter, Björk, Martin Gore and others. She's collaborated with Holly Herndon and the late SOPHIE. She's worked with visual artists Kevin Beasley and Nick Cave. She composed a string quartet for Kronos Quartet and performed with them live in a tribute to Philip Glass. She also recently completed a tribute to Sun Ra with Kronos. 'Perspective', her very well received percussion work for Third Coast Percussion has further opened doors for her in classical music. She's even thinking of one day writing an opera. She had a residency at MassMoca Museum earlier this year (2023). She's performed live at Pitchfork Festival, Unsound Festival and too many others to mention. She's also worked with Indian dancers, Company Wayne McGregor and renowned choreographer/MacArthur Fellow Kyle Abraham. There's more but you get the picture - she's working in contexts and in ways that few of her peers are able to. 'Akoma' is the next step - all these paths have led to this. We encourage you to tune in. "

Mediterraneo
Nervous Horizon's co-founder and label honcho TSVI is back with a new release, Mediterraneo EP. As a homage to the sonic legacy that influenced the artist's formative years, the five track EP is inspired by the Mediterranean Progressive movement which became popular in Italy between the late 90s and the early 00s. At the time, italo dance music had a distinctive trance influence; producers like Gigi D'Agostino, Mauro Picotto and Mario Piu were among the most prominent artists of the scene. In Mediterraneo EP, TSVI combines the elements of this iconic movement with contemporary drum patterns and his signature sound. The opening track, 'Progressiva', features a synth line evocative of 00s dance hits like Sydney Samson's 'Riverside' or Federico Franchi 'Cream'. With its steady groove and hands-in-the-air emotional breakdown, it is destined to be a festival anthem. 'Vitamina H' and 'HHG' take a less emotional approach, focusing on raw club energy. Dark melodies and Italian vocal samples dominate in 'Vitamina H', building up to a climatic frenzy of percussive triplets in the second half. 'HHG' borrows elements from HandzUp!, a trance sub-genre which was popular in Germany and in various parts of Europe in the early 2000s. Both tracks are influenced by Raptor house, a genre of electronic music that originated in Caracas, Venezuela in the early-1990s, and 'HHG' features one of the originators of the genre, Dj Babatr, who helped pioneer the sound and is a huge inspiration for TSVI. The last two tracks, 'Parhasar' and 'Ultimo Impero', are named after two legendary clubs in Turin, where progressive trance and hardstyle flourished in the early 1990s. Unlike the first three tracks of the project, where the production is almost entirely sample based, in these final tunes there is a particular focus on sound design evoking a hypnotic energy which serves as the perfect closing for the record.

Club Moss
Facta and K-LONE's Wisdom Teeth imprint kicks off a busy year of 10 year celebrations with the release of a new LP: 'Club Moss' - a collaborative project that draws on the label's existing roster and beyond to build out a uniquely lush and psychedelic take on uptempo club music. The record follows loosely on from the label's 2022 release 'To Illustrate' - another collaborative project that brought together a collection of producers writing forward-thinking, genre-fluid music at 100bpm. Here, on 'Club Moss', the focus is shifted up towards higher tempos - this time looking to join the dots between a global spread of producers exploring exciting new territories within the 150-170 bpm bracket. Drum and bass, footwork and techno are key points of inspiration across the record, but rarely are they presented in their traditional forms. Rather than recreating or imitating these sounds, they are refracted, reduced or repurposed into exciting new sonic shapes, drawing in added influence from dub, ambient, downtempo, pop, experimental electronics, hip-hop and more along the way. As is always the case with Wisdom Teeth's output, the results fit somewhere between the club and a more contemplative, home-listening headspace, with texture, melody and emotion afforded as much significance as rhythm and functionality. The collaboration calls on a number of Wisdom Teeth alumni (Yushh, Sputnik One and label heads Facta & K-LONE) while also introducing a number of exciting new names to the roster. NYC trio Purelink and Sydney resident Cousin contribute the record's opening tracks - each contributing deep, contemplative cuts that join the dots between jungle, ambient and dubby downtempo. Maya Q and LUXE also make their debut appearances on the label, representing a vital new school of London producers - between them contributing two of the record's most upbeat and jaw-locked moments. Meanwhile, club favourites Tammo Hesselink, Ehua and Jay Carder jointly provide the record's heavier moments, coming closest to the label's roots in broken techno and bass music. Amongst the new faces, the record proudly welcomes a selection of verified legends to the label: Leif - whose stunning ambient 170bpm techno cut 'Kallt' marks his first new music in over two years; Airhead, who continues to hone the razor-sharp, atmospheric take on drum and bass first presented on his 2023 EP 'Lightness' (Hemlock Recordings); and, to close, RAMZi - who breaks the mould and bends the tempo down to a slo-mo 110bpm stomp, reframing the record's tripped out, sub-low sonics into a stoned hip-hop framework.

"Hello, my friends. It's a big honor for me to release this EP on YUKU because I sincerely love lots of releases of this label and follow them practically since the day they started. I've created 5 tracks specially for this release. They turned out to be very diverse, quite different, but at the same time cohesive. 5 tracks — like 5 variations and 5 stairs of my life. The cover by my friend, Kyiv-based artist Bohdan Burenko, perfectly outlines the mood of this EP. It shows 5 faces, 5 characters, and 5 stories. I should mention that some demos for these tracks I wrote back in 2018, when I lived in California. And the basis for 'The Wall' I wrote in the suburbs of Los Angeles in a small town Walnut. This explains the song title. Back then, I listened to a lot of old-school Metalheadz tracks, and I guess this music had a big impact on the atmosphere of this track. Same story with 'Runnin' Out' - I made the demo in US, then finished it when I was preparing the release for YUKU. 'Offset Range1' is my personal favorite. I wrote it in Kyiv, when I had Covid and was tweaking knobs on my sampler and automation on my synth. 99' is my nostalgia for good ol' breakbeat and 'Vezhlivy Otkaz' has the most unusual drop I have ever written. Of course, it's an honor for me to have a remix by Tim Reaper on board, because I'm his fan. I'm writing this text now in Kyiv. Because of Russian invasion, I'm not sure what my future will be like, but I don't see any reason to postpone this release. All the profit from this EP I'd like to send for the charity & restoration of the infrastructure of Ukraine. Big thanks to YUKU team for understanding, professionalism and support." —Igor (Hidden Element)

Tik Tik
The Berlin-based record label Voitax is gearing up for a notable release as MXCs highly anticipated EP, Tik Tik, hits the scene. This collaboration marks the fusion of Maroki and Coralies unique musical perspectives, cast during the challenges of a world in lockdown. MXCs EP, Tik Tik, is a testament to creative resilience, presenting a sonic journey through uncharted territories of drum and bass. Crafted meticulously in two separate studios during a year marked by isolation and introspection, the EP showcases MXCs versatile artistry. From the repurposed grime breakbeat hybrid of Tik Tik to the relentless industrial chug of Swarm and the delicate balance between IDM and club-focused broken drum & bass in Aiven and Crabby, each track captivates with intricate complexity. The EP culminates in the IDM exploration of PS, where Marokis vocals intertwine with synths, creating a poignant finale that leaves a lasting imprint on listeners.

Nemesi
FAEs Nemesi' EP presents an intriguing mix of electronic music that reflects her background as both a DJ and a classically trained pianist. The first track, 'Nemesi', combines breakbeat rhythms with dark vibes, featuring aggressive bell-like synths and rap-like vocals. It's a compelling blend that showcases FAE's ability to mix genres and create something unique. The second track, 'Fortuna', takes a different turn with its dark house style. The steady beat and deeper tones create an immersive atmosphere, further highlighting FAE's skill in fusing classical piano elements with electronic music. This track solidifies the EP's exploration into the versatility of electronic sounds. Overall, 'Nemesi' serves as a showcase for FAE's musical range, blending classical influences with electronic innovation. It's an EP that's likely to appeal to a wide audience, offering a fresh take on electronic music that honors its roots while looking forward to new possibilities.

Xylit
Wrk.dat is not an artist of many words. The munich-based record collector and dj rather lets his audio visions, which oscillate between experimental ambient and fast shimmering techno, flourish on Bandcamp with various alter egos. His minimal, sophisticated sound aesthetic, which he has been developing for years similar to Sun People, has led him to Defrostatica. After his hypersonic remix for footwork researchers Schmeichel & Shane Lizard at the beginning of the year, his first single is now being released on the Leipzig label. Xylit is a 160bpm acid techno track with riotous potential. Breaking Character on 100 bpm is a hiphop diss track instrumental - or a Gescom homage?

Falling
Seeing in 2024 with the seventh edition of my self-release project. 'Falling' and 'Time to Be Real' are an ode to those high-intensity, wide-eyed moments on the dancefloor, and intended as a direct interface between you and the soundsystem. Working with Manchester's Conni on 'Falling', the soulful nature of her voice led me into a futuristic sound fx palette, and in turn somehow ended up adding all sorts of gnarly dnb bass sounds too. I really like how this track bounces in and out of uk funky & dembow style breaks, in your face 4x4, and more uplifting sections too. My brief foray down a techno-focused direction, 'Time to Be Real', came together pretty quickly after a big night out a year or so ago. After I found the sample from a film clip, I knew I had to reference the short-lived 'Be Real' app for the track title. To me it makes a lot of sense as a soundtrack to watching someone try to take a selfie in an awkward situation.

Escape Reality EP
Chicago Footwork legend DJ MANNY is back on Moveltraxx with a new EP, 1 year after his classic "Feet Start Dancing" EP and a few months after his Planet Mu LP. On this new record, the Teklife mainstay explores Jungle, Ghetto House and Dancehall influences, flawlessly incorporating those in his always boundaries-pushing Juke and Footwork formula. EP opener "Feel The Love" pays homage to Stardust's French Touch classic "Music Sound Better With You" while "Get Freaky" gives you a taste of what a 2024 Dance Mania record would probably sound like. Eponymous track "Escape Reality" manages to be both meditative and banging and "Reggae My Way" is probably the most unique Footwork record you have heard in ages. Street Bangers Factory classic "Go Down" closes the EP as a bonus track. Recently named by Mixmag "Artist That Made 2023", it's clear that Manny has no intention to slow things down in 2024.

Progressiva
Nervous Horizon's co-founder and label honcho TSVI is back with a new release, Mediterraneo EP. As a homage to the sonic legacy that influenced the artist's formative years, the five track EP is inspired by the Mediterranean Progressive movement which became popular in Italy between the late 90s and the early 00s. At the time, italo dance music had a distinctive trance influence; producers like Gigi D'Agostino, Mauro Picotto and Mario Piu were among the most prominent artists of the scene. In Mediterraneo EP, TSVI combines the elements of this iconic movement with contemporary drum patterns and his signature sound. The opening track, 'Progressiva', features a synth line evocative of 00s dance hits like Sydney Samson's 'Riverside' or Federico Franchi 'Cream'. With its steady groove and hands-in-the-air emotional breakdown, it is destined to be a festival anthem. 'Vitamina H' and 'HHG' take a less emotional approach, focusing on raw club energy. Dark melodies and Italian vocal samples dominate in 'Vitamina H', building up to a climatic frenzy of percussive triplets in the second half. 'HHG' borrows elements from HandzUp!, a trance sub-genre which was popular in Germany and in various parts of Europe in the early 2000s. Both tracks are influenced by Raptor house, a genre of electronic music that originated in Caracas, Venezuela in the early-1990s, and 'HHG' features one of the originators of the genre, Dj Babatr, who helped pioneer the sound and is a huge inspiration for TSVI. The last two tracks, 'Parhasar' and 'Ultimo Impero', are named after two legendary clubs in Turin, where progressive trance and hardstyle flourished in the early 1990s. Unlike the first three tracks of the project, where the production is almost entirely sample based, in these final tunes there is a particular focus on sound design evoking a hypnotic energy which serves as the perfect closing for the record.

Calvepen 666
Facta and K-LONE's Wisdom Teeth imprint kicks off a busy year of 10 year celebrations with the release of a new LP: 'Club Moss' - a collaborative project that draws on the label's existing roster and beyond to build out a uniquely lush and psychedelic take on uptempo club music. The record follows loosely on from the label's 2022 release 'To Illustrate' - another collaborative project that brought together a collection of producers writing forward-thinking, genre-fluid music at 100bpm. Here, on 'Club Moss', the focus is shifted up towards higher tempos - this time looking to join the dots between a global spread of producers exploring exciting new territories within the 150-170 bpm bracket. Drum and bass, footwork and techno are key points of inspiration across the record, but rarely are they presented in their traditional forms. Rather than recreating or imitating these sounds, they are refracted, reduced or repurposed into exciting new sonic shapes, drawing in added influence from dub, ambient, downtempo, pop, experimental electronics, hip-hop and more along the way. As is always the case with Wisdom Teeth's output, the results fit somewhere between the club and a more contemplative, home-listening headspace, with texture, melody and emotion afforded as much significance as rhythm and functionality. The collaboration calls on a number of Wisdom Teeth alumni (Yushh, Sputnik One and label heads Facta & K-LONE) while also introducing a number of exciting new names to the roster. NYC trio Purelink and Sydney resident Cousin contribute the record's opening tracks - each contributing deep, contemplative cuts that join the dots between jungle, ambient and dubby downtempo. Maya Q and LUXE also make their debut appearances on the label, representing a vital new school of London producers - between them contributing two of the record's most upbeat and jaw-locked moments. Meanwhile, club favourites Tammo Hesselink, Ehua and Jay Carder jointly provide the record's heavier moments, coming closest to the label's roots in broken techno and bass music. Amongst the new faces, the record proudly welcomes a selection of verified legends to the label: Leif - whose stunning ambient 170bpm techno cut 'Kallt' marks his first new music in over two years; Airhead, who continues to hone the razor-sharp, atmospheric take on drum and bass first presented on his 2023 EP 'Lightness' (Hemlock Recordings); and, to close, RAMZi - who breaks the mould and bends the tempo down to a slo-mo 110bpm stomp, reframing the record's tripped out, sub-low sonics into a stoned hip-hop framework.
