Identified Patient is back with more world-building on the Nerve Collect label he co-founded with Gamma Intel. His five-track Head Fuse EP is a sci-fi fantasy that reimagines bass, techno, dub and broken beat and nudges toward tranced-out altered states. The Dutchman's mutating sound is part machine-funk, part psychoactive haze, all wired to disorient the brain as much as move the body. Now, years after breaking through, he has evolved his sound into something entirely his own on the likes of Dekmantel's UFO sub-label as well as here. He once again taps into the subconscious with this new EP. 'Lost Noise Ceremony' is an ancient rhythmic summons from a forgotten underworld with ghostly vocal fragments draped over perfect drum syncopation. A growing sense of threat lurks in the shadows as warped lasers twist up the timeline. 'The thin line' pairs dubstep wobble with garage shuffle and dub techno tradition. Smudged melodies surface like forgotten memories and carry a nagging nostalgia for something you can't quite place. 'Truly Give Up' smears high-voltage lines and chrome-plated pads with UKG swagger and conscious mutterings. Obscured soul samples tug at the heart as playful vocal yelps cut through a sharp, expertly engineered party tool with real attitude. 'Late Calls' sweeps like a vast dub techno tide, heavy with reverb and pressure. Drums surface and recede, briefly opening space for fragments of melody before the current pulls you back under. 'Signs in the Dossier' drives with metallic, steel-struck percussion into infinite depths. It's an immersive structure that draws you into its centre and doesn't let go. The Head Fuse EP is a wildly imaginative soundtrack that brings new and unknown worlds to life.

Two years after his label debut, Hassan Abou Alam returns with a second release on Nerve Collect. His seven-track Insa EP features one cut with ZIAD ZAZA and Ismail Nosrat and is another menacing blend of futuristic sonic warfare. Egypt's Hassan Abou Alam has been carving his own unique path for almost two decades. From noise music to sub-heavy techno via charged-up breaks, he has a mutant sound that thrives on contrasts. It's a fusion of the natural and the otherworldly, the ritualistic and the contemporary and has made him a favourite on labels like Rhythm Section, Banoffee Pies and Casa Voyager. With this welcome label return, he remains impossible to pin and even harder to predict. The lurching 'Insa' opens with acrobatic drum patterns and freewheeling hits, all underpinned by buzzing sub bass. Vocal fragments and sinewy synths inject futurism into the full-bodied beats. 'La3ba (ft. ZIAD ZAZA, Ismail Nosrat)' rides a quick, thumping club rhythm, this time with grimy raps and trippy ad-libs that bring urban menace as synths spray across the mix. 'Mahzooz' is a spontaneous collage of restless synths and chopped-up words, imploding and exploding as bouncy low-end anchors the groove. 'Wiskha' showcases heavily syncopated drums and mind-melting synths, stretched, filtered, and drawn out into sweeping parabolas. The brain-tickling frequencies of 'Dilapidated Thoughts' sound like liquid metal shaped with digital precision and booming bass, while 'Doos' is another pressurised ascent with mad oscillations and pixel-thin sine waves. Closer 'Fahem' blends brutal drum patterns with the EPs most human and vulnerable synths for a breathless finish. Insa is club music in constant flux - volatile, visceral and impossible to contain.

Lyon based dubstep/uk gararge/techno wizard drops six pieces of his sub heavy heat on Nerve Collect. Featuring collaborations with grime's latest MC talent, Capo Lee from North London and rising name in the French UK garage scene blending infectious grooves with high-energy, bass-driven productions.
