Time for another Ace Trax, and once again were happy to welcome new talents to the SWAY label. We kick off with DJ XL and his powerful beats, followed by Rayo (ITA) with a debut thats all about the chord and arrangement. Oscar Sanchez returns with another energetic banger, and finally Agent Orange DJ delivers a special Deep Mix of Contact High. All full A-sides, or Ace Trax, as we like to call them!
Danza Tribale—the visionary label founded and curated by Adiel—presents Connessioni, The new release from Tamburi Neri, a two-part sonic exploration of connection, vibration, and ritual. Rooted in the spirit of tribal modernism, Danza Tribale has become a platform for artists who transcend genre boundaries—channelling raw energy, rhythm, and emotion into sound. With Connessioni, this philosophy deepens further, inviting listeners into a realm where body, city, and earth speak the same language. Connessioni is the reflection of water moving with the melody, the breath of air between intertwining lungs, the intersection of glances and voices that speak. It is an invisible map—cables carrying frequencies to speakers, amplifying not only sounds but also stories, emotions, and encounters. The release unfolds across two EPs that resonate on different frequencies yet share a single voice: that of the body, the city, and the earth.
Ramon Tapia is back on the label with his trademark sound and grooves, capturing his ongoing evolution with these new cuts. We start off with Acute - a dense, rolling groove layered with pulsating low-end energy and metallic stabs that slice through the mix. Every element breathes with purpose: the kick pounds like a heartbeat under pressure, the percussion rattles with industrial intensity and the subtle modulation of the synths adds a sense of constant motion. Hypnotic yet physical, functional yet full of emotion - its a track that evolves without ever losing its grip, designed to build momentum deep into a set. LoFi G - gritty textures and tape-like saturation give the groove a lived-in, analog feel imperfect in all the right ways. Beneath the surface, ghostly vocal snippets drift in and out of focus, creating a sense of depth and introspection that contrasts beautifully with the relentless drive of the drums. Its the kind of track that feels timeless. Enjoy
Leeks returns to the label with yet another rolling Techno EP thats guaranteed to get your feet stomping. Leeks is currently NO:1 on the labels best selling singles chart, and we think he is going to climb his way to the top again with this release. 2 rolling, groovy, buzzy, Techno tracks for your listening pleasure. Enjoy the ride.

The 7th catalogue number on the imprint comes from promising producer Noëtik. The emerging artist provides a two track EP with strong remixes by rising artists GLIA from Slovenia as well as Berlin-based producer Mython. Characterized by pounding low-ends combined with thoroughly layered textures, Noëtik creates meditative yet captivating soundscapes that immerse the listener into his creative realm.

The 2025 Archive releases continue, this time its the long lost Eminations EP on the very short lived Pseudo Records out of France. An incredible label that released several amazing detroit-esque releases by Richie Inkle. Vince was a big fan of the labels sound and sent some demos to the label for release - Eminations was the result of that. Ironically, Most of the EP was actually focussed around the unreleased Crystals track that didnt actually feature on the EP. So its now released here as part of this archive.
Belgian producer Prspctv (aka Xentrix) returns with Restless Mood, a ten-track trip through deep hypnosis, mechanical tension, and raw emotion. Known for his sharp ear and decades behind the decks, Eric channels the essence of Lieges underground spirit into Arkham Audios latest December release. The opener Alternative Current burns slowly, a deep, ethereal entry point to another dimension. Linear Phase takes it into dub-techno territory; clean, punchy, minimal, and hypnotic. Eye Tools feels made for wide warehouse spaces, textures thick enough to touch, while DJ Dextros remix flips it into harder grooves and glitch-edged pressure. Implant brings a dialogue between machines, broken beats and emotional grit. Cri Du Coeur & Erratum darken the field, replacing ambience with a filthy 909 groove that hits deep. From the metallic pulse of Sparkling to the dreamy acid haze of Rubberband, every track evolves like a living organism. Growth pushes a killer bassline and rolling drive, and Lost in Tension closes the record in ritual motion: broken, tribal, and beautifully groovy. A full-spectrum EP, cinematic, hypnotic, and built for movement.
Hybrid Productions Sound Architecture proudly presents: [HPX167] Gems EP, written and produced by Uncertain. The Vienna based Austrian marvel producer and DJ returns with four extraordinary legacy tracks for his second hybrid release.
Lurendrejarn EP, a dialect variation of Lurendrejare (meaning swindler), is the theme for LMSK016. Four tracks ranging from cheeky machine funk, to raw energetic workouts, and vintage oozing playful melodic themes. All in accordance with our vision of playful & mischievous but always genuine techno.
Best Intentions announces Inverse, a new 4-track EP from Melbourne-based producer and DJ; Pugilist. Marking his first release on the London imprint, Inverse sees Pugilist expanding further into the shadowy, percussive terrain he has become known for, merging future-focused techno, lo-fi industrial, and the energy of early hardcore breaks through his own atmospheric lens. The EP captures both the toughness of the dancefloor and the subtle experimentation that runs through his catalogue. A Scottish/Kiwi artist now based in Melbourne, Pugilist has built a reputation for stylistic range and rhythmic depth. His releases on Modern Hypnosis, Samurai Records, and 3024, along with the recent launch of his own imprint Ruff Kutz, demonstrate his ability to move across tempos and moods while maintaining a distinctive sonic identity. On the decks, he is celebrated for tightly curated sets, deep crates, and an array of unreleased dubs. Speaking on joining the Best Intentions roster and the inspiration behind the project, Pugilist shares: Stoked to be joining the Best Intentions fam with 4 x retro rave rollas across the hardcore continuum, from minimalist Techno, to smoked out Electro, to krusty Hardcore and Breaks. This EP is a mix of styles which have informed my production style over the years. It is great to be putting out music with a shared vision for giving back for a greater cause. I have been a fan of the label since its inception so jumped at the chance to do a 12. I will be donating my share of profits to the Asylum Seeker Resource Centre — a wonderful Melbourne-based charity for asylum seekers here in Naarm. They do wonderful work. https://asrc.org.au/ The EPs closing track, FKRY, a collaboration with POD, brings warped leads, stepping drum work, and old-school jungle tension into a modern, heavyweight techno frame. Proceeds of the EP will go to Asylum Seeker Resource Centre - a non profit organisation that provide a wide range of support services to people seeking asylum based in Australia.
Asymmetric boss Inigo Kennedy returns to his label with a tantalising five track EP Irregular Tapestry to close out 2025. Title track Irregular Tapestry opens the release in uplifting four-to-the-floor style; beat, melody and Detroit-tinged stabs driving along beautifully. Second up, Ballistic Limits keeps to a functional theme with undulating sound design and an irresistible classic 909 rhythm section. Centering the release is Amaterasu, full of characteristic Kennedy melancholy and playfulness. Taking things down a notch is the sheer menace of Aselgeia, oozing with dubby influence and flickers of sordid imagery. Final track Vapour Trails aches with drips of sound and a plaintive string section grounded by a steady kick heartbeat and takes its place as the last track of 2025 for the label.
Khabiar returns to Jeton with his first full EP for the label, following his standout appearance on New Breed Vol. XII. Across four tracks, he crafts a raw and magnetic strain of techno, charged with dramatic tension and razor-sharp energy. From hypnotic, rolling grooves to stark and stripped-back atmospheres, his signature sound unfolds with a mysterious pull. Each piece feels immersive and intentional—four meticulously shaped cuts that reaffirm Khabiars unique presence within the Jeton universe.
Youve heard Benkt on previous Ace Trax releases, but this is his first full EP, and what a release! It kicks off with Moonshine, a fast, energetic track with a stabbing lead that builds throughout, a true floor killer. Next is Some Things Matter, capturing the vibe of early Swedish techno while keeping the production fully modern. Finally, Emperor of Change delivers a tribal-inspired groove topped with a fiery vocal. A complete EP that really stands out!
