Premiere: Formation – Pleasure (Mall Grab Remix)
Well-known for soulful lo-fi house tracks often flavoured by dreamy and cherishing vocal samples on Shall Not Fade, 1080p or Collect Call, Mall Grab presents a very personal interpretation of ’Pleasure’ for Meno Records.
Premiere: Eduardo De La Calle – Red (El_Txef_A’s Black Blood Mix)
Today we’re proud to present El_Txef_A’s feverish rework of the opening ‘Red’ cut. Stripping it of its balmy piano stabs and halftone singularity, the Forbidden Colours top dog bathes the original into a filthy pool of cold, static-drowned vocals, acidic bass and hissy, dysfunctional mechanics. Take a deep breath.
IORI: Cold Radiance

If you are looking for anything remotely resembling a dance floor work out, this is mostly not the place. But if you fancy a lysergically drenched folkloric voyage then please come in, brace yourself, and enjoy the journey.
Premiere: Nebraska – It Won’t Be Long
Boosting the track’s shine with a snaky arpeggio, totemic percussions, feeling vocals and a flight of gut-wrenching strings, Nebraska manages to reinforce the tear-jerking force of the cut with a few tastefully-dusted piano stabs. A taste of sublime.
Premiere: Melly – Skip Fire (Lumigraph Remix)
After debuting on Where To Now? last year, Melly makes his return to the Brighton-via-London label with ‘Flying Ducks’. Today we’re proud to present Lumigraph’s remix of ‘Skip Fire’ – rolling out a shamanic invocation over a prophetic four-note melody, all driven by a deep low-end groove.
