Tales From An Ice Palace EP

Little introduction for Nils' latest vinyl release, where tech house grooves intertwine with atmospheric sonorities of reggae dub. No need for more details, this release is only about the essentials !

Almost exactly a year since since ‘Felt Cute’ debuted on Kalahari and Blu:sh is back in the building. But this time around, it’s with a record evoking the muggy closeness of a dancefloor suspended somewhere between peak-time elation and wide-eyed vision quest. Tweaking the blueprint to rapturous ends, the latest offering from this Blu:sh project propels itself forward with a muscle-bound groove. Six robust, deadly club trax replicate the breathy seduction of its predecessor, but this time, with added velocity. Pinky Promise is full frontal and deadly while channelled through the same explorative prism characterising Benoit’s best work. Probably the toughest material the prolific shapeshifter has put out to date. Nods to Eurocentric styles shine through with particular emphasis on the sexy and trance-inducing. It goes straight out the traps with a big dose of fractal fuel and stays murkily psychedelic to the very end.

Too many phones on dancefloors? Not nearly enough…Phone Traxxx is back with the record they said they’d never make.Favourites from the live set make a limited appearance on vinyl.Life is short… 5G is forever

Manchester born Paddy Lee lands on Picnic's first release of 2024 with 3 classy cuts navigating the progressive, trance milky way. The lead track ‘drive bye’ is dominated with a pulsating bassline that carries the groove almost the whole length of the track. The infectious chords and synths simultaneously create an ethereal soundscape that brings the beauty to the beast. A dance floor ready EP that demonstrates this young producer's ability beyond his years!

To wrap up the year on a high note, Flight Mode presents Night-Vision, a solo EP produced by Montevideo-based artist Lanzieri. This release reflects the unique energy of the Uruguayan scene, which has been a major inspiration for the label. Get ready for some dancefloor bangers that will take you on a journey through the shadows of the night.
