A Bold New Direction from Kyotos Finest. Kyoto-based dance music label NC4Ks boss, Stones Taro, delivers a daring new EP in the third installment of the NC4KWAX series. Known for his dance-floor-focused beats and impeccable sound quality, Stones Taro pushes the boundaries of his sound on this release. The EP kicks off with Clutch, a track that immediately captivates with its addictive vocal chops and signature Stones Taro breakbeats. The up-and-down bassline provides a solid foundation, ensuring that your speakers get a workout. Busy Lips follows suit, with its chaotic mix of vocal samples and percussion creating a sense of euphoria. The clap on the third beat adds a challenging yet rewarding twist to the track. The third track is pure Stones Taro, featuring a ravey breakbeat sound with trance-like elements that elevate the track to new heights. Finally, Roman producer Christopher Ledger delivers a stunning remix of the fourth track, transforming it into a tech-house masterpiece with intricate arrangements and a deep, bass-driven groove.
30D Records celebrates a decade of modern sonic exploration. Since its inception at the end of 2014, and initially taking inspiration from 40s & 50s science fiction culture, the label has been offering to listeners a vast array of genres, being experimental, creative and forward-thinking dance music its main mission. For its 10th anniversary, the cutting-edge electronic music label very proudly announces five distinctive releases, each one across their respective sub-labels. Close Encounters, 30D Records sub label, keeps its initial main purpose of delivering four tracks from four different producers under the same musical concept. And exceptionally for this 10th anniversary, and for the very first time, also under the same musical style. Julia Govor, Amotik, Yogg and Electric Indigo, all of them close friends to the label, dive into the broken-beat territory, offering their particular vision of the genre, as personal and varied as interesting, and not only dance floor focused.
A fan of SANSOUNIs music since his track On via the V/A Modern Intimacy Volume 2 in 2022, CARISTA invites the emerging producer, DJ and artist back into the far-reaching world of United Identities. The title track Wasp opens on a raw, left-field note of crisp percussion, followed by a warbling bassline and vocals with a Middle Eastern twist. On Park, SANSOUNI merges rugged drumnbass beats with dreamy pads, culminating in a driving yet emotional trip. The closing track WL-Ayoun is a beautiful blend of soaring, trance-tinted synthlines and urgent drums, punctuated by organic percussive textures and quick-fire vocal cuts. Sparking feelings of hope and joy but shaded with a melancholic hue, the EP showcases SANSOUNIs fluidity in balancing bright textures with misty, cinematic atmospheres.

For its 10th anniversary, the cutting-edge electronic music label very proudly announces five distinctive releases, each one across their respective sub-labels. And he did it again! The talented Calum Lee AKA Paleman / Fresnel Lens, one of our favorite producers by far, is back after his acclaimed Exalted EP (2023). Although stylistically speaking a bit different to the previous release (in his own words), our innovative sound designer delivers a sick collection of dark, abstract and experimental broken-beat tracks as only few artists can afford, where impossible percussive rhythms and tons of raw energy go hand in hand, challenging listeners perception and placing him at the forefront of electronic music. Another must have release.
Combining Chicago footwork influences with fast-paced dub techno, the Berlin-based Turkish producer has created a new signature sound at 160 bpm. On his debut EP on Defrostatica, he refines his style with four visionary footwork techno tracks.
Coming up next on PM+, Brunnera presents some high-def, joyful techno that doesnt skimp on tasteful complexity. Youd need to have your ears chiseled into a fine point to have clocked Brunneras movements up to this point, skirting as they have around low-key corners of SoundCloud and one choice album carried by NX and Kit, two labels for those that know. When hes not chopping out self-styled whimsical breakcore as Glarc, Gordon Bruce makes brightly pointillist rave futurism that takes its cues from footwork, singeli and electronica. Wild-eyed and devilishly fast, Aulus slaps with more than enough purpose to get a party greased up, charged with the kind of day-go synth strikes we absolutely live for here in PM+ towers. Salad Week finds a crooked beauty in its faux-flute hooks and warm smudges of melodic familiarity, deftly snuck in between its spring-loaded percussion. Theres a discernible groove in the midst of the melee, keeping the lopsided brushstrokes on track to satisfy everyones mutant dancefloor desires in stunningly non-conformist fashion.
Samuel van Dijk (VC-118A) and Rasmus Hedlund return for a third plate in their ongoing exploration of roots-minded dub techno with Jamaica-born, Finland-based vocalist Benji. The vocals set the tone on both these new tracks, as Benji meditates on internal and external forces with his own brand of old-soul wisdom. Better Way is an upfront steppa reflecting on the need for new solutions to solve humanitys enduring problems, while Child Was I travels deeper inwards to highlight the importance of lived experience in shaping the inner self as we grow. Alongside the vocal versions, Dialog offer up the instrumental versions of the tracks for the full dubwise listening experience, letting every melancholic synth lick and echo chamber drum trail shine through as their project continues to forge its own path in the dub techno tradition.
Gentlemans Dub Club returns with a heartfelt reinterpretation of Bronski Beats Smalltown Boy, featuring Joe Yorkes captivating vocals.
This cover, available on November 28th, infuses the iconic track with Gentlemans Dub Clubs distinctive blend of dub and reggae, celebrating resilience and individuality with a fresh, powerful sound. Gentlemans Dub Club will embark on a UK tour in March and April 2025, bringing their legendary live energy to venues across the country. Fans can expect an electrifying mix of their originals and covers, with this new track making its live debut.
As summer draws to a close, and after a 6-year hiatus, we invite Hedchef back to the label to grace the table as we enter club season. Jack, now living in Melbourne, sits at the head in every sense, from his artist name to his production excellence. Hedchef serves up a delightful 4-course meal of electronica and bass, complete with just desserts from another huge Aussie-based producer, Homemade Weapons. Introducing the expertly titled: Infinite Deferral of a Promised Hidden Sincerity. We kick off with a bang(er) titled Dyatlov Full Spec, an electronic stomper which weaves in Middle Eastern strings and Arabic vocal tones. Next up is Rhizomatic Heartbreak, a melodic, thoughtful, drum-centered track with aggressive low end, flavoured with a generous dash of techno seasoning in a palate of electronica. We move into Hanging In The Balance, which raises the tension and the temperature another notch; a masterpiece in sound design and progression. This track should come with a *DANGER* warning. Finally, we have Where Body Meets Air We Are All Cadavers, settling the tension and with spacious textures, but tasting no less spicy than the preceding dishes. We are blessed to have Homemade Weapons on the remix of Dyatlov Full Spec. The original is completely inverted with his take, centering on breakcore style drum patterns characteristic of a Machinedrum set. 1 <3 EMB HQ
Pulling further Bristol-based talent into the NHS gravitational pull we have Portway with his contribution Conduit; two original productions that cover disparate energies which coincide emotionally and sonically As playful, 3D-printed pieces designed to induce warmth and joy into an otherwise often dark, ominous space. Coupled with each original are stellar remix works from Tacit Gleam on an expedition into the system, along with Nostro mainstay Dayzero. Portways offerings carry with them a more minimal sense of pace and design, moving perceptibly into an acutely functional style that match each other across opposite zones of the dancefloor. Lights flare past your vision as your streamlined craft pushes its way through the wormhole. Youre smiling the whole time. Then all at once, warmth turns to cold - day turns to night. Concluding, we plummet to the rocky surface of the planet to explore the alien beneath the surface.
Aasthma are seasoned stalwarts of Swedish electronic music as likely to be working with Fever Ray or Bjork as heating up the club. The rush-inducing synth dose that kicks off Versatile shows the duo at their most upful, and thats even before the chant-bolstered beatdown comes swaggering in on a broken flex with phasers set to jit. Its a direct, uptempo workout built around those core elements, but they equally know how to edge their secret sauce into even the most loop-rooted arrangement. Every spin-back flicker or filter tickle amps up the satisfaction in this life-giving slice of rave optimism.

Texas-based Teklife talent OG Rubix makes his debut on the imprint with B.O.L.O., a brand new dreamy single. Its a boom bap soundscape with rumbling triplets and classic chops, where he highlights the hip-hop influence in this world of sound. You could almost hear this on Quiet Storm radio, with its smooth loops and literal thunder sounds soothing your soul. Organic, almost acoustic sounding, his layered samples expose the roots of this music. Its a refreshing take on the digital-dominated world of footwork, still true to form but with an emphasis on timelessness rather than modern trends.
It is a wretched thing that the young men of today are so contriving and so proud of their material possessions. Men with contriving hearts are lacking in duty. Lacking in duty, they will have no self-respect. (Yamamoto Tsunetomo - Hagakure: Book Of The Samurai)
