With Cos I Said So, Eastern Standard opens a new chapter in its sonic diary. This various artists collection stitches together voices from different corners of the scene — both rising names and seasoned creators — all bound by a shared love for house in its rawest form. The tracks carry the grit of oldschool heritage while bending into sharp, modern shapes, each one road-tested across dance floors from Berlin to beyond. Born out of months of traveling, chance encounters, and late-night exchanges, Cos I Said So feels less like a compilation and more like a living map of the labels journey.

Electric Appliances is proud to present Celestial Elegy, a new 3-track EP that dives deep into the essence of 90s electro—fusing raw machine funk, analog textures, and dystopian dreamscapes. Featuring exclusive contributions from Tuomas Juhani, deadroid, and Celsius, this release channels the spirit of classic electro while carving out fresh sonic terrain. Tuomas Juhani – Electroluddite 96 Opening the EP, Tuomas Juhani delivers a sleek, motorik journey built from icy sequences, minimalistic drum programming, and synthetic melodies that glide with machine precision. Electroluddite 96 evokes early visions of automation and urban futurism—melancholic, mechanical, and endlessly hypnotic. deadroid – cb_genesis deadroid dials in a cybernetic dreamscape with cb_genesis, weaving syncopated rhythms and crystalline synth lines into a tightly programmed banger. The track pulses like a digital lifeform born in a forgotten circuit—moody, immersive, and relentlessly groovy. Celsius – Heavenly Drawer Closing out the release, Celsius drifts into dark, etheric electro territory. Heavenly Drawer floats on distorted 808, shimmering voices, submerged snares, and gently glitching acid, offering a contemplative outro that lingers long after the needle lifts. Together, these three tracks form Celestial Elegy—a sonic tribute to the glitchy grandeur of 90s electro, reimagined by a new wave of hardware-savvy artists. Expect warm hiss, cold steel, and neural grooves designed to move both floor and mind.
