Naked Groove EP

PROXY returns with a new transmission by Dutchman Tifra. Combining inspiration from 90s rave sounds with his own futuristic production style, Tifra’s engineering of the Algorythm EP takes you deep into his realm of house, bass and rhythms. On the B side, Local Group infuse their signature UK breaks, DnB and rave galore into a blasting remix of Bio Lab.

Argentinean - Berlin based emerging talent producer Lakeman, delivers his debut EP titled Inner Rythms on the second release of Federico Molinari and Dfunklub’s imprint Hold On Catalina.Six trippy and effective tracks for all moods, that go from downtempo, to dub, house and electro with analog sounds that reminds the 80’s euro electronic scene.

Magic Carpet storms into ruffneck country with b0n in the pilot’s seat, shelling out slammin’ UKG and a triple helping of breaks. b0n’s command of the southern frequencies will come as no surprise to those in the know - this EP promises to do special things in the right hands on the right rig. For those just tuning in… welcome to the b0n show.

Takicardia Records debuts with Cyber-X-Scape, an exploration of sound and vibration as pathways to break free from the confines of the matrix. Featuring Furz, Phase O Matic, Sanctus Libido, and Volen, this compilation fuses mind-expanding beats with driving grooves that channel the raw, unfiltered energy of the underground. Each track is a sonic key, designed to resonate with the listener on a deeper level and open a gateway to the unknown. Prepare to be immersed in a space where sound becomes science, and the dancefloor is the escape route.

‘The Weightless EP’ is Viewfinder’s third release on Rescan Records. Side A offers two straight-up house tracks featuring sampled percussion & stabs. The flip side takes a techno turn, with ‘Roxtone’ pushing the BPM to the EP’s peak. Mihail P provides the fourth track ‘Natural High’ – expect breaks, bleeps and ethereal pads.

Innershades has always dealt in lo-fi, misty sounds that are steeped in beauty and melancholy and offer plenty of subtle homages to Detroit. Here he cooks up more electro magic on the Explorer EP, which is again minimalistic in design but maximal in terms of dancefloor impact. His melodies really convey true emotional pain and the drums bring sleek electro energy and brilliance. 'Unknown Depths' is a serene one to open with, 'Explorer' brings some acid modulations and extra percussive snap and 'Aquaculture' is the most liquid and dubby cut here. 'Super 6' has a sense of hope for the future in its brighter, more optimistic melodies. Exceptional stuff. (Juno Review)
