The Weightless EP

Endell Street returns with a strictly limited 10" that features some rare gems that were originally produced back in the early naughties by Timmy S. Plenty of heads will know these have been expensive to cop on the second-hand market but now they have been restored and remastered by Yossi Amoyal in collaboration with Eukahouse's Nils Hess. Deep tech house doesn't get more authentic than this with the slick, driving drums and nocturnal pads of 'Wake Up' and the more percussive darkness of 'A Trip To London' both sounding superb.

This release, which is part of the label's 20th anniversary celebrations, marks a significant milestone for Sushitech, a long-established label that deals in quality dub, tech and deep house. It offers a special glimpse into Housey Doingz, a highly influential collective from the London scene who pioneered early underground sounds. The exclusive 10x10" series showcases remastered tracks and rare, previously unreleased material from their legendary Strange Weather DAT archives. The first instalment features a remastered version of the iconic 'Flying Saucer,' a tune that has been a staple at Fabric over the years, plus an unreleased dub version that has never been heard before. Crucial.

Presenting a massive EP from a rising talent in our thriving scene: Mtty makes a powerful debut on ABS with three original club-ready weapons, tried and tested on the dance floor. Adding to the excitement, the highly acclaimed Tiago Walter delivers a fresh twist on Mtty’s A1 track, The Jammed Elevator, with a high-energy UKG-inspired remix.

A collection of cuts, edits and finely crafted sounds by talented artists.Pirka Vinyl Cuts - the home of unnamed beats.

Portuguese producer Mardel debuts on Carpet’s Circuits series with a tight set of modular jams. Precise, at times introspective but with a driving motor pulse underneath, the three electro tracks touch on acid and bass as they launch into space. For its part, the ten-minute lead track, ‘Ducks In A Pond’, is a dreamy dubby epic, full of surprising textures and watery flourishes.

'Intertwined', the first collaborative EP by Paraiso founders Maria Amor & Shcuro, is up next on the decade-old Lisbon label. This pair of syncopated, energized, immersive techno tracks comes with remixes by Tresor residents Fireground and DC's own Black Rave Culture, a trio composed of James Bangura, Amal, and Nativesun. 'Waves of Hope' opens the record in full force with a relentless beat that combines early 90s euphoric energy and jacked-up snares over a fat bassline, soulful pad progressions, technoid bleeps, dubby washes, and Maria Amor's own soothing cut-up vocals, elegantly touching several foundational club music sounds through an inspired lens. On the A2, 'Hotspring Love' brings levitating, airy textures and mixes them with subtle acid arpeggios, pure-hearted vocal melodies, and bouncy percussive accents. The rolling subwoofers of a proper techno party can practically be seen, the fast-paced kick perfectly perforating the bassline. Two remixes can be found on the B-side: first up is Berlin-based duo Fireground, who flip the original 'Waves of Hope' into a more concise take, exploring its dub influences and adding in cinematic, ravey chord progressions to a hypnotizing, ecstatic effect. The italian duo add a distinct dose of Neapolitan techno, carrying the textured intensity of that unmistakable sound. Black Rave Culture pick up 'Hotspring Love' and turn it into an ode to junglism, reappropriating the original pads in a classic DnB workframe with crisp breakbeats and an absolutely nasty bassline that no words can do justice to.
