    Beatport New Releases

    Control Freak cofounder Customer Service returns to the label with a pair of archive cuts - the first in a new run of singles set to roll out across the rest of 2026 and beyond. Originally conceived in his old South London studio and recovered from a dying computer, 'Gemini' presents two radically different versions of the same source material. Written first, the measured psychedelia of the 'Substance Mix' draws on both dub and deep techno, which is then transformed into a bold, unpredictable and rapid-fire IDM, breaks and electro-inspired 'Style Mix'. Both cuts are detail-rich and expressions of two outer-reaches of the producer's sonic worlds.

    Obstinacy: Reworked

    Faulter

    Beatport Staff Picks

    Following the release of Faulters Obstinacy earlier this year, weve turned two long-standing CF regulars and welcome two newcomers to provide their takes on the label co-founders debut club collection. As with the original, the remix EP unfolds in 2 halves: a pair of minimal-rooted 4-to-the-floor club tools, followed by a heady B-side steeped in techno and IDM. Label mainstay Syz kicks things off with a bouncy rendering of the title track in signature production style with his Space Carnival Mix, while the elusive B. McQueen dives into Zaf, providing a skippy, rolling tech-house backbone that brings the dubby elements of the original track into full club mode. On the flip, its a genuine pinch-me moment at CFHQ to feature one of our all-time favourites, Forest Drive West, transforming Perspectives into an unforgettable slo-mo chug-dub-techno trip full of the intensity only he can deliver. Rounding off, our best-loved Bristolian Yushh leans into the 90bpm range with her Swamp-pusher remix, a twisted headfuck of a beat (good luck dancing to this one), reminiscent of early Squarepusher productions.
