Premiere: Skatebård – Kapitalsystemets Belastning

Premiere: Minimal Violence – Under The Sign Of Saturn
Today we’re pleased to stream the sensuous ‘Under The Sign Of Saturn’, a killer halftone churner dipped in a dynamic pool of druggy, tape-saturated layers. Check that roaring blaze of debonair toms and hi-hats bursting over a light-hearted fluttering groove, whilst muted vocals keep sinking the track into a washed-out daydream. Exquisite.
Young Male announces WM008
Set to break a silence of three years and the drop of his second and latest offering for Work Them Records, the ‘Lost My E’ EP, Quinn just announced the imminent release of his second EP on White Material, a wild three-tracker oozing the same mixture of malevolent ambiences and sleek, stripped-back textures.

Premiere: Lemme Kno – 1234567
We’re no short of proud to premiere the pumping closer, ‘1234567’, in full today – most certainly the track that fits Future Times cross-cut themes and jazzy dynamism like a glove here. A fertile ravey vibe doped on slashing drums and fierce snares, jump-roping bleeps and bloops taking care of the track’s melodic sublimation. Tasty as it gets.

Ahead of his performance at Found Festival, Route 8 taped his first ever vinyl-only podcast for Inverted Audio, gracing us with a strong mixture of jaunty filtered house and extended ambientish blends.

2030: Prescience EP
Back with a third offering for French label CLFT, Italian producer Nico Campanella aka 2030 reloads the mother ship’s cannons with nerve and acumen, attractively summoning the ghosts of Drexciya, Galaxy 2 Galaxy and Der Zyklus for a timeproof, space-traveling treat.
Premiere: TCP – Twonga
TCP ‘Twonga’ is a high-spirited Afro-funk ruffling of wailing synth vibratos, bouncy toms and acidulous bass fizzling out in an upbeat carnival of colours. Join the dance.
Schmoltz: Bah027
Belarussian producer Alik Khomiak aka Schmoltz makes a return on the mysterious skull-emblazoned Bahnsteig 23 with two addictive edits of Eastern discoid and onomatopoeic punk-funk.

We sat down with Nathan Melja as he reflects on his new ‘No No No’ offering, discusses his Dream Real residency, club and non-club music and teases us with some exciting plans for the Winter.

Premiere: Sordid Sound System ‘The Baron’
Sordid Sound System ‘The Baron’ is a volatile love potion conjuring strains of Klaus Schulze’y synth lines with an Afro-futuristic lean, laying down some highly sensuous xylophone rides over a malevolent outer-space vibe. Implacable.

Premiere: OL – Jungle TV
Wrapping stealthy, predator-like bass moves, hissy hi-hats and granular claps around a psychedelic synth melody, ‘Jungle TV’ is an understated wonky melter. We got to discuss studio matters with Oleg and asked him about his hip-hop backdrop and further plans for the Summer.
