High Freq Vibe
After over a year of diverse, exciting, and utterly danceable releases, Longstocking's Feral One Records has proven that the Feral Ones are everywhere. Now for the label's latest release, three Feral Ones have arisen in a city just south of the label's home in Seattle: Portland, Oregon. The three artists in question are: Loopacabra, a staple of Portland's local house community who has opened for prominent headliners like Matroda, Nala, and TOKiMONSTA, among many others, in addition to performing at Burning Man. [E]mpress, a PDX rapper with the versatility to spit her fierce rhymes over any sound or style. Mienne, another stalwart of Portland's house scene who has shared the stage with VNSSA and Mary Droppinz, and shared the studio with Loopacabra on several occasions. Together, Loopacabra and [E]mpress produced a track entitled "High Freq Vibe," which captures the shared old-school energy of rap and dance music. Both of these genres came from an explosion of repressed expression, launching confidence and personality into the air in sonic form. This new single is an extension of that legacy as Loopacabra's raucous synth work matches [E]mpress's precise yet rapid-fire orations. This is the kind of track that is perfect for an outdoor celebration where high vibrations flow without impediment. Then Mienne's remix takes those same vibrations and refines them into something dark and fluid. Same energy, but this time it's flowing in the club.

Iam
Hailing from the beautiful city of Mexicali, the two guys behind AMFM (MX) are known and loved for their energetic productions that carry a lot of flavour. Their incredible soundscapes have led them to release on labels such as Bunny Tiger and Phisica, and now they are ready to join the Desert Hearts Black family with a two-track EP. The title track "IAM" is a collaboration with none other than the Chicago house legend Robert Owens himself. A funky bass and catchy drums set the scene for Robert's characteristic vocals. It is a tune that slowly builds tension, before melting into a full break-infused goodness. The enchanting vocals keeps us dreaming while we are driven into the night by the acid line that sets in alongside the pumping yet minimalistic groove. "Billy's Kills" packs a real punch. An edgy bassline takes the lead and dark, atmospheric synths throb and develop through the track while the drums keep upbeat and crisp. The hypnotising melodic elements bring us a deeper flavour and the synths add an air of mystique that dynamically shifts as the song unfolds. Two excellent tracks that will bring the enigmatic and layered AMFM (MX) sound to clubs and festivals across the globe.

Conditioning Consciousness
For more than thirty years, Ruud Lekx has been corrupting hearts and minds with his unmistakable brand of synthesizer music. Under his Rude 66 mask, this titan of electronics returns to Bordello A Parigi with twelve darkened tracks for Conditioning Consciousness. Tempos glide low in the opening incantations. From the breathy murmurings of Magick Angels Invocations, the listener is brought into Rudes world. Shauna Lekxs signature vocoder lyrics and blackened subject matter are central tenets, as are hauntingly delicate melodies. The Riddler In Me is a deep psychological journey through cable and circuit, an unsettling monologue accompanied by liquid analogue lines. BPMs are allowed to rise for the shimmering warmth of In Exile and in the reverb soaked The Chariot. But these are the outliers. Across the collection, percussion drives without ever being a central force. Instead, the focus is the bewitching and brooding compositions. Take the drugged low slung groove of The Talisman of Algol or the loose modulations of Le Sagittaire, here the listener is brought into the heart of the machines and the musician. The curtain close, The Five Swords Of Venus In Aquarius gathers a spread of influences, bringing them together into one piece. Synth. Soundtrack. Strings. All culminate in this superb climax, a climax to an album that broaches the boundaries between terrifying and terrific.

Sorry For Not Trending
The successful re-launch of Alinka and Shaun J. Wright's musical baby Twirl continues. Following her critically acclaimed 'Day Dreamer' EP and a supreme label debut from friend Serge G., 'Spanish Cassette' (feat. remixes from Wright and DJ Holographic), Alinka returns with a classy three-tracker 'Sorry for Not Trending'. The EP was created during a fertile writing period in late 2022 that birthed her recent 'Day Dreamer' work, with the Kyiv-born Alinka finding solace in music creation following the loss of her grandmother, while processing the escalation of the war in Ukraine. 'Sorry for Not Trending', is a tongue-in-cheek nod to influencer culture, led by the glorious first single 'Deep Into The Vibe'. Imbued with the spirit of Chicago, where Alinka was a resident at Justin Long's .Dotbleep party at Smartbar for almost a decade, the cut is a masterclass in fun, as catchy riffs, bouncy drumlines and an infectious old skool energy propel it forward. 'Neon Fantasy' is a cosmic trip; crisp and driving, it's made for late-night moments when the dancefloor demands a thematic shift to keep bodies moving. 'Night Tales' brings forth proggy melodic flourishes and chugging b-lines, for a singular yet satisfying closer. "'Sorry For Not Trending' is a playful reference to today's culture of clicks, likes, and follows, and the concept of equating online popularity and trends to artistic value. It's a reminder to look beyond what the algorithms tell us is worthy and to form your own path. It's music for the dance floor. I want to create the sort of energy that makes people close their eyes and dance like no one's watching instead of staring at the DJ. That's the message of these tracks for me." – Alinka

Dream Of You Remix
Barcelona's Baldo revisits the gorgeously colorful 'Dream Of You' from Istanbul's rising talent Zeynep Erbay, taking it on one hell of a trip. Rocking a classic breakbeat under his tight house foundations, he gives his remix a rolling feel that's counteracted by the insistence of the three-note bassline which morphs into acidic resonance as the track evolves. Snatches of the beautiful lead synth and the dreamy vocal sample provide the lightness of touch against this more rugged element, and the kicks switch to a breakbeat rhythm to add extra tension in the midway section alongside the fizzing electric piano-esque chords from the original. When the lead riff drops back in with more urgent techno rides driving it harder, it's a truly joyous release. Round off with an extended acid workout and you have yourself one mighty fine remix to compliment the cute charms of the original. Baldo has signed music to Gerd Janson's Running Back, Catz-N-Dogz Step Recordings, Permanent Vacation and E-Beamz amongst others, meaning his arrival on Exploited comes with serious pedigree.

Out of My Mind
Tash's Movement Recordings rounds out the month of November by welcoming Tomy Wahl to the label for his debut EP. Hailing from Argentina, Tomy Wahl has been a fixture of his country's electronic underground for the better part of a decade. With a sound that finds a cohesive balance between afro, progressive and melodic house, the Buenos Aires resident has compiled an impressive resume, notching releases on well-established imprints such as Eleatics, Sincopat and Stil Vor Talent, while earning support from Adam Beyer, Richie Hawtin and Solomun. Now, following a well-received single for Rezongar Music, Tomy makes his Movement Recordings debut with 'Out Of My Mind', alongside a remix from Vakabular. Much lauded for his melodic sound, Tomy continues to explore that narrative on 'Out Of My Mind'. Wrapped within a DJ friendly intro are punchy beats, pulsating basslines and a myriad of orbiting synths. The Argentine's storyboarding takes hold as charming overlays, robotized vocals and clustered rhythms emerge across the first act, carrying with them a sense of anticipation and drama. The main break showcases Tomy's keen dancefloor vision, as vocals percolate before eventually giving way to a groovy drop and uplifting finale. The companion piece 'Sen Sei' continues the progressive tone set by its predecessor and lands with an equally large dancefloor presence. Possessing a powerful undercurrent, Tomy blends entrancing percussion, chirpy chord stabs and vibrant melodies over chugging grooves and sparkling effects, creating a modern club-effective vibe in the process. Its dramatic appeal builds across a twisted break, where pitch-bending effects and cinematic pads converge, perfectly setting up an exhilarating build and stab-driven finale. The release concludes with Vakabular making his debut with the lone interpretation of 'Out Of My Mind'. As one of Thailand's premiere progressive house artists, Koh Phangan based Vakabular has enjoyed a strong eight year run since first emerging in 2016. His club-effective style has yielded support from Armin Van Buuren, Markus Schulz and Paul Van Dyk, and in turn secured projects via Outta Limits and Vandit Alternative. Now, following a string of projects for his Hollystone imprint, Vakabular debuts on Movement with a huge rendition of 'Out Of My Mind'. Beginning with a buoyant kick and chugging groove, Vakabular channels the melodic energy of the original through panoramic synths, rugged stabs and a more distinct vocal representation, before a sci-fi break delivers a mood lifting excursion, perfectly seting up a tastefully timeless finale.

Life
Since 2014, Silas Schletterer has been part of the Bordello A Parigi family. Under his Machinegewehr guise, the Rotterdam artist released three show-stopping synth centred records. 2023 sees him put out his fourth, Life. Burbling arpeggios, a signature of his sound, are present for Sans. Clever inviting melodies, another feature of Schletterers style, mix beautifully with clean percussion and samples for a definite dancefloor favourite. The title work follows. Measured and meditative, Life employs a familiar sound palette with very different outcomes. The pulsations, the throb, of Machinegewehr is there, but there is a considered melancholy that brins a bittersweet balance to the piece. Steady kicks and vocal snippets introduce Pills. Shifting melodies, piano stabs, driving rhythms and spoken word come together to create a heady brew of sheer pleasure. Vocals are central in the closer. Neurons narrates a fantastical story of subdued sci-fi sorrows and wistful yearning, all to a silken synth-pop soundtrack. A welcome return from a multifaceted musician.

Title-track 'Twinkies' leads the release and lays down five and a half minutes of a raw, crunchy drum machine workout, plucked bass and murky synth swells alongside squelchy acid licks and ravey stab sequences. 'Escape To Uranus' follows next, employing a chuggy arpeggio bass line and shuffled drums at its core while mind bending lead lines and twitchy 303's further fuel the frenzied club feel of the composition. Brussels based artist DC Salas then reworks 'Twinkies' to round out the release, delivering a typically dynamic, cosmic and crisp interpretation, extracting the core of the original while instilling his unique dreamy aesthetic and ever evolving, cinematic feel to things.

Twenty Year Weekend (Two Decades of Darkroom Dubs)
Twenty Year Weekend (Two Decades of Darkroom Dubs) is the twenty-anniversary label compilation compiled and curated by Glasgow's Silicone Soul. Rather than take the retrospective route, they mark twenty years since they launched one of the UK's most revered underground house music labels with a new collection of music from a fresh global roll call who like it deep, dark and a little twisted. Also marking a quarter century since Craig Morrison and Graeme Reedie released their first Silicone Soul 12-inch on Slam's esteemed Soma imprint, the compilation gets underway with the duo's own Fahrenheit 625 featuring Bitch Traxx originator Franklin Fuentes on a scene-setting killer groove declaring presciently, "Ill take you there." Thirteen further early-hours throbbers ignite with Italian future disco duo Phunkadelica unleashing malevolent chugger Phunkarama lashed with robotic vocals, metallic swells and early 90s bleeps and hoover tones. Mexican DJ/ producer Theus Mago, co-founder of the Duro label in 2015 with Moisees, then uncannily plugs into the metaphysical Darkroom Dubs current with Intensify, garnishing its groin-thwacking turbo groove with cascading melodic synth interplay. Lucky Luciano uncorks another top-notch percussive workout from Glaswegian Darkroom Dubs favourite Am$trad Billionaire, its dense, percussive groove mosaic slashed with ghostly sample shards. Hot on its heels are Berlin-based, Greek-German tour-de-force Brax Moody and Vamparela aka Local Suicide - who duet with Wiener Planquadrat for some sexy rogue electro on Flashdance, splattered with lacerating Moroder-esque sequencer savagery. Next is the Factory City head-honcho Undo, fresh from his recent sublime house missiles on Darkroom Dubs, like Acid Summer and Aliens Go Home, who unleashes his ominous bass-driven acid monster, Vencejos. Before Nayan Soukie - aka Amount - rides the shimmering skyline surfer Figure Skating, packing the Darkroom Dubs trademark subterranean bass to the hilt. Then, the mysterious Subcisco conjures the ultimate funk party behemoth with Boiling Point evoking blaxploitation soundtracks in its aquatic stew of mangled strings and brass spectres hot-wired by contagious elastic bass. Parisian DJ/ producer Id!r, whose Darkroom Dubs missives include 2016's bass bin shredding Two Days In Hell, pulls off a typically dark, simmering groove beast on Haowie, topped with a gargling robo-vocal hook. Madrid-based Rotten City Records owner Alvaro Cabana then detonates 90s-style peak mayhem with Arde, casting its wailing power rhythm with crashing snare action. Born in the 80s, raised by the 90s, lost in the 00s, exclaims maverick techno-punk Pvlomo, immediately standing out with the sci-fi robot-gargling and Godzilla-like bass on My Little Vampire, his strength lying in lethally audacious twists and turns executed as the track powers mercilessly on into the darkness. Oslo-based duo Of Norway are the only act to feature on both anniversary compilations (bridged by 2015s towering Black Desert Disco Cult 12-inch). Mixing glacial electro with spaced-out strings and eastern-tinged melodies, Always Almost is suitably auspicious. Istanbuls Gunce Aci follows with Fallen Leaves, built on a juddering mutant electro lurch lathered with devilish voices, climaxing in the snarling acid disco thunder of Lead Boys, cultivated in Bogotas Kaputt Club by enigmatic duo Nuclear Digital Transistor. Dense and pulsing with disembodied goth-like vocals, the track makes a suitably idiosyncratic finale for a compilation tangibly driven to breathe new life into Silicone Soul's manifesto to celebrate, nurture and push the music they love to play, make and support. Proper underground house music has always been about fearless electronic innovation with a human soul. An ethos crystallised in this spellbinding collection. - Kris Needs Mastered by Conor Dalton at Glowcast Audio. Art by Elena Galkina. Design by made.by.andy

Fiji Water
Berlin's Micropacer debuts on Exploited Club with a superb 4-track EP of bright, melodic music following a string of releases on Ritmo Fatale, AEON Audio, and Melodize. 'Fiji Water' kicks off with strong fist-pumping intent and setting the Italo tone for the EP. Warm chord progressions play out on the most '80s of synths while the bass arps bubble away pleasingly and the interweaving percussion keeps an urgent yet uncluttered feel to the proceedings. 'Tummo' builds slowly and fixates on sprightly and piano chords and jaunty synth lines to keep the mood jubilant. Buzzing bass swells provide extra uplift while a big drum solo mid-way through perfectly recalls classic '80s pop/dance dubs. The tom fills are perfection and the breakdown reaches giddy new levels of euphoria. Not smiling yet? Gosh, you're a tough customer. 'Alte Liebe' will send you over the edge. An absolutely stunning melodic progression underpins the undulating bass and relentless piano stomp of this one, recalling classic Italo / piano house with its jubilant feel and soaring pads. Huge. '1983' is pure Italo / Hi-NRG pump, camply strutting its off-beat bass throb across the dancefloor as shards of sharp synth chords pierce through the mix and concoct a melancholy vibe alongside far-flung countermelody in the distance.

An acid-influenced transformation that only needs minimal means for a massive effect. „Elevator“ starts out with a slow and eerie atmosphere and swells into pure electricity - imagine you are trying to escape the long and winding hallways of a collapsing power plant: dust, heat, adrenaline.

Me Me Me EP
„I just wanna feel your sweat on my body" - Miami-based Nala paints erotic pictures on the brute bass beat of Catz 'n Dogz in „Me Me Me". Hushes, moans and a dark and sultry energy fill the room, melting everyone into one entity of skin and leather that moves in unison. „Hot Mess", ups the tempo but keeps the lights low, with flashes of strobe freezing images of bizarre faces in darkest corners of the club, while the priestess Nala speaks her truth in ceremony. A record like a ritual, it awakens animalistic spirits that we give in to when we find ourselves without thoughts on the dance floor.

With You
With You" is a track we wrote with a journey in mind that starts with just the 2 of us and on our way we are joined by more people. This is somehow the way we see our journey in music as a duo. Like a car ride high in the sky. Just like the artwork of this EP. Where you can see things from a distance. Kind of personal, but at the same time a way to communicate with the strangers you meet in your way. It's a ride you do for yourself, and then you realise that there are more people who want to join you. "With You" stands for all of us: me with you and for everyone who wants to join.

Lessons EP
Maze's debut on Turnland contains two club-ready, proggy house tracks, while "Science Lesson" comes in two different versions. Both tracks take you back to the time when tech-house sounded more like detroit than tulum and trance more like House music than a polished sports car. While "Science Lesson" transports a deep and melancholic vibe with subliminal melodies, "the missing" manoeuvres the listener between spherical sounds and uplifting energy, while the vocal samples seem to fit perfectly into the arrangement.

Milestones
Budakid is back on Exploited with a charming 2-tracker that exudes confidence and style. In 'Milestones' - which is the title track, he catched up with the highly talented vocalist 'Bad Actor' whose voice mesmerizes and hijacks your attention. Channeling early '80s 'new pop' (Simple Minds and the like) in a modern way with its vocal stylings, signature glitching sounds, soaring synths and realistic rolling bass. A sequenced melody descends and ascends in perfect harmony with the indie-ish low end and with some stadium-sized leads coursing through the veins of this expansive-sounding production, it's like stepping into a time machine.
