Label co-head Simkin releases music on All Centre for the first time since his split EP with Endless Mow in 2023. On ACEN075 the London-based artist delivers two club-ready tracks channeling rap, jersey club, trance and industrial influences. On the A-side, Ghost chops trance-y arps over a driving four-to-the-floor rhythm. Big room snare hits lead the way to a sturdy groove with subtle switch-ups and an earworm melody slowly morphing as the track progresses. Subtle rhythmic shifts and a slowly mutating hook keep the tension building, before a swift breakdown gives way to a punishing second half, where frantic vocal chops ricochet through the mix. On the flip, Blade takes a sharper left turn. Plugg-inspired pads dissolve into a propulsive groove that sits somewhere between jersey clubs restless energy and a sluggish trap instrumental. A siren-like melody hooks the listener as the track progresses, before ending with a final switch-up in the tracks closing moments. Ghost is available across all digital platforms from March 20th.

Kessler & Koboros Elicit returns in 2026 with Connected_03, completing the trilogy with its most expansive and considered chapter to date. 'Connected_03' is a myriad of voices operating across club and experimental spaces, connected by a disciplined approach to sound. Rooted in connection and contrast, this compilation yet again brings together a hand-picked group of artists - new and old friends, whose work sits confidently beyond fixed genre boundaries.
Making first contact with Nostro Hood System, New York-based Ovid arrives following previous transmissions via Dublin's Flood and a recent waypoint appearance on the label's 'Waystation: Sequence II' compilation with 'That Can't Be Right'. His debut full offering for NHS, 'Fan The Flames', reads as an initiation rite into a sonic order that treats rhythm as law and frequency as a living entity; a five-part body of work carved from dense percussive matter and torn, volatile synthesis, where hardware ritual and tactile performance converge into something both corporeal and otherworldly. Across the EP, Ovid locates an organic plane between drum physicality and sculpted tone, fusing forceful, hand-struck rhythmic sensibilities with tightly-wrought synthesis and restless sound design. The palette is heavy and opaque, thick with crunchy transients and ripping, buzzy synth matter, as though each element were being stress-tested inside a pressurised atmosphere. Syncopation rules the terrain, low end mass hangs weighty and immovable, and the energy profile is unrelenting; these are tools forged for high-impact ceremonial function, where bodies move first and thought follows.
Following a banner year for both Sir Hiss and Sam Binga - and indeed for Pineapple as a whole - in 2025, we felt it was time to revisit their joint release from 2023, the Jus Mek Duppy EP - aptly retitled 'Jus Mek RMX' Bristolian maestro, AÆE leans into his Brazilian heritage on his Funk-powered rework of 'Any Weather'. Classic Volt / Carioca elements meld perfectly with SBA Karma's iconic UK Drill flow, resulting in a festival banger that has been turning heads from Outlook to EDC. Anthemic! Coido makes a return to the label, after his collaboration with HRTY on last year's Fruit Salad EP, turning the 140 electro of 'ADRL' into a snarling 150bpm monster. As always with Coido, the production weight is heavy, and the vibe is meaty - at times, almost hinting at a universe where Noisia grew up in New Jersey. Hiss & Binga rework 'Wicked Set' into a rolling, deeper percussive VIP, explicitly referencing that early 2000s 'proto-dubstep' vibe of the early FWD days. MC Jakes vocal stabs are further dubbed out from the original and are joined by hypnotic chants, distorted ethereal melodic snippets, and depth-charge bass pressure. Turn the lights down and lock in. Finally, Pineapple's resident Booty Queen, one Amy Kisnorbo, twists wicked set into a tuff, minimal but fully propulsive 150bpm workout, equal parts Chicago Juke and Detroit Electro, yet still with an unmistakeable UK Grime influence. Zaps, FX and militant kicks are the key ingredients here - and provide an essential expansion of the Kisnorbian sound world. Distributed by Label Engine - www.label-engine.com
Two years after his label debut, Hassan Abou Alam returns with a second release on Nerve Collect. His seven-track Insa EP features one cut with ZIAD ZAZA and Ismail Nosrat and is another menacing blend of futuristic sonic warfare. Egypt's Hassan Abou Alam has been carving his own unique path for almost two decades. From noise music to sub-heavy techno via charged-up breaks, he has a mutant sound that thrives on contrasts. It's a fusion of the natural and the otherworldly, the ritualistic and the contemporary and has made him a favourite on labels like Rhythm Section, Banoffee Pies and Casa Voyager. With this welcome label return, he remains impossible to pin and even harder to predict. The lurching 'Insa' opens with acrobatic drum patterns and freewheeling hits, all underpinned by buzzing sub bass. Vocal fragments and sinewy synths inject futurism into the full-bodied beats. 'La3ba (ft. ZIAD ZAZA, Ismail Nosrat)' rides a quick, thumping club rhythm, this time with grimy raps and trippy ad-libs that bring urban menace as synths spray across the mix. 'Mahzooz' is a spontaneous collage of restless synths and chopped-up words, imploding and exploding as bouncy low-end anchors the groove. 'Wiskha' showcases heavily syncopated drums and mind-melting synths, stretched, filtered, and drawn out into sweeping parabolas. The brain-tickling frequencies of 'Dilapidated Thoughts' sound like liquid metal shaped with digital precision and booming bass, while 'Doos' is another pressurised ascent with mad oscillations and pixel-thin sine waves. Closer 'Fahem' blends brutal drum patterns with the EPs most human and vulnerable synths for a breathless finish. Insa is club music in constant flux - volatile, visceral and impossible to contain.
This one is gonna be one for the history books! At least for us in this little independent label in by the sea, in the tip of Europe Weve been following Mikeys work for long now, since those early electro releases in CPU And weve also been playing his records for ages, and we even knew we had a couple of common friends, but to see a message from the man himself in our inbox, saying that he would love to to put out an EP with us, caught us completely o guard! Mikey is the kindest soul and his compliments to our vibe and work ethic just flooded our hearts and made us feel seen, probably for the first time! Everyone know on hard it is to get noticed on the scene these days, so his message hit hard! Theres no way we were gonna say no this one! Thank you Mikey, its truly an honour! About the record, in Mikeys own words, Myths of the MediterrAlien is a high-octane voyage through a universe where ancient cultures collide with futuristic visions. For him the MediterrAlien is a hybrid character who drifts between mythology and outer space, carrying fragments of both history and hyperspace into the club. Across four explosive tracks, the EP reimagines deconstructed club and experimental bass through a fast, hyper-energetic lens. Each piece feels like a dierent chapter in the MediterrAliens journey, spiralling through cosmic turbulence, touching down on ancient shores, and refracting tradition through the intensity of a distant galaxy. Designed for the late-night fringes of the dance floor, Myths of the MediterrAlien is both a personal mythology and a sonic wormholebridging the universe where Jensen Interceptors comes from with where his imagination is heading next.
