#5 Feat. New Releases in Indie Dance

Breakables - a finnish-Berlin-based duo - present their first album release with RPM. Its an album driven by momentum, restraint, and emotional precision. Moving between experimental electronic jazz, cinematic minimalism, and club-rooted pulse, the duo shapes a sound that feels physical yet fragile — music designed for both deep listening and late-night movement. Built around polyrhythmic melodies as a central force, RPM explores how repetition, tempo, and subtle variation can generate tension and release. Pulsing synths, sparkling saxophone and dramatic cellos revolve in cycles, creating tracks that unfold gradually rather than peak instantly. The result is an album that breathes, rotates, and steadily pulls the listener inward. Drawing on influences ranging from the harmonic patience of classical elements to the motorik clarity of Harmonia and the emotional directness of late 90´s uk dance movement like Leftfield or Faithless, Breakables translate these reference points into a contemporary, stripped-back language. Rather than leaning into excess, RPM focuses on space, dynamics, and the friction between organic performance and electronic structure. Written and produced with an emphasis on flow and continuity, the album plays as a single arc — each track feeding into the next, reinforcing a sense of motion and purpose. The vocal parts open an layer with the androgyn spoken word that reflect personal but yet abstract feelings. There is an underlying tension throughout RPM: between control and release, intimacy and scale, stillness and propulsion. RPM is not an album built around singles, but around atmosphere and trajectory. It invites listeners to stay, move, and return — rewarding patience with depth and detail. RPM is released by Managua Records ( ambient driven sub-label of Moodmusic) and is available on all digital platforms. We wanted the music to feel like its always in motion — not rushing forward, but never standing.
