The collaborative project from Vincent Lemieux and Guillaume Coutu-Dumont, Flabbergast, returns this March with a new EP, entitled ‘Default Mode Network’ and coming via Swiss imprint Adam’s Bite.

Vincent Lemieux is a staple of the Montreal, Canada underground and a widely beloved DJ for his impeccable technique and selections, he’s also offered up productions on the Studio Club and DISDAT labels and a collaborative EP alongside Ohm Hourani for Jigit and co-founding the Musique Risquée alongside Akufen, Deadbeat and Stephen Beaupré.

Guillaume Coutu-Dumont, a fellow Montrealer has long been a prized producer for his unique spin on micro house and
deep house music with his music finding a home on the likes of Mule Musiq, Meander and Dokutoku among others. In 2015 the two joined forces for their Flabbergast debut on Circus Company, have gone on to release with Yoyaku and Copier/Coller, and here makes a triumphant return for Switzerland’s Adam’s Bite with four fresh original cuts.

Opening the EP is the playful ‘Peppermint Poddle’, fuelled by oscillating synth tones, twitchy percussion and saturated bass alongside a spoken word vocal. ‘Manger Du Bon Manger’ then
shifts focus to cinematic organ lines, jazzy drums and a snaking bass groove throughout.

‘Mou D’état’ kicks off the B-side and sees the duo dive deeper via ethereal atmospherics, their signature wonky, mind bending synths and an amalgamation of processed vocal murmurs. Lastly
‘Dans L’oeil’ sees César Merveille join the party, the trio working collectively to create a unique slice of percussion fueled microhouse with intricately intertwined organic percussion, dubby
synth flutters, cinematic pads and pulsating subs.

Re-Release of Losoul's classic 'Synchro'.

TRMNL is back with the second release 002. This EP by Samu.l has been in the making for years. Both original tracks are taken from an early LIVE set - finally reconstructed as stand alone productions.

The lead track SKYLINE has been an anthem at the party and mainstay within Samu.l’s sets over the last decade. Peak time rolling sub bass and drums are joined by deep stabs and subtle effects, building pressure towards the main drop where the infectious vocal hook finally appears. This is tipped to be one of the biggest tracks of the year.

Seb Zito takes the track into late night territory with a heavy hitting garage baseline and driving kick drum. If you like your tracks dark and strictly for the raves, this is the mix for you.

Herck serves up his trademark sound across the second remix. His combination of intricate drums, bumbling effects, drenched vocals and a dubbed sub baseline produce a track that is equally at home during the daytime warmup as it would be late night after hours.

Ricfab is Samu.l’s second original production on the release - a true demonstration of his trademark and unique sound. The swing, roll and pace of the track are infectious producing an equally heavy hitting groove. He is back with a vengeance.

Next level sounds. #thisisTRMNL

Early Support from:

Lauren Lo Sung, Archie Hamilton, Enzo Siragusa, Richy Ahmed, Chris Stussy, Herck, Fleur Shore, Ray Mono.

re:discovery records is proud to release for the first time, a vinyl edition of 'Two Zeroes' by Grain for it's 25th anniversary.

Grain was a west coast project that emerged out of the psychedelic music and art scenes in Los Angeles in the early 1990s. After a few of their tracks were featured on the key chill out compilations United State of Ambience 1&2 and Excursions in Ambience
and many local live performances, they released two ep's on local labels. Shortly after in 1998, 'Two Zeroes' the full length project appeared. A west coast chill out classic that unfortunately did not get much disribution outside the west coast let alone to the world.

To classify this album is very hard. Think early Jammin Unit with a touch of the Orb and dash of west coast breakbeat and chill out styles and you still can't fully pin it down. A unique album that sonically, was leaps and bounds ahead of most albums in this style thanks to sound designer, audio instalation architect, scientist and artist Jimmy Johnson along with illustrator and fellow sonic artist Peter Ehrlich. Featured on double vinyl with updated artwork by the original designer, Kevin Hanley and presented on beautiful gatefold with a shimmering silver vinyl to match. This could be one of the discoveries of the year for those that have never heard this album. Dare to Dream with us.

BinarySound launches its new vinyl series BS-LTD, limited to 250 copies.

First installment is from two young artists who have already released on the french label through their yearly digital compilation “Bye Bye”.

On the A side, Kawaii San, half japanese / half english producer based in London.
On the B side, Nathan Boost, Belgian based in Antwerp, owner of the young label & collective Hotbox. 250 copies limited.

strong tech house mover!

Mates now for many moons - Mr.G and Duncan Forbes met at the time of Duncan’s Animated project; forging a friendship through weekly record shopping trips; a love of Soho; and regular banter over Duck and Rice. But it was their chance meeting at Glastonbury a few years back which finally sparked them to work together; since leading to a string of remixes for both Phoenix G and 49North, and culminating in their first, combined studio creation, ‘Curry Nite’, in late 2022.

Fast forward to Spring 2023, and what we have here is their first, collaborative full-length on vinyl - artist album, ‘All Under One Moon’. Conceived and created in Duncan’s studio on a long, full moon weekend with cosmic forces at play; the pair - both chomping-at-the-bit with excitement and no real plan or outcome in mind - set about creating, with a pure love of making music and the freedom to go wherever it might take them as their only guide. As G sums up for us…

“Two friends of old with a shared love of music ,having fun making music together in D’s studio. It was a long time coming but in truth caught us both off guard… the sum of both parts being sooo much more (y). The beauty of being free, making music. What a great moment”

So, on paper, we have - two mates, excited to play away in the studio with their favourite toys until they have to come up for air. But on record, what we actually have is - two close friends, united by a deep love of House, Techno and everything between / beyond - relishing a rare opportunity to jam, and with freedom…. it’s only when you consider quite how almanack-like our two music-obsessed pals are anyway, as individuals; that it begins to dawn on you, just how mind-meltingly rich and stylistically explosive - an album, that’s the sum-of-their-parts - is inevitably going to be.”

Next up on EYA's series Lonewolf is UK producer Nay. "Pattern of Thought" takes us on a hallucinatory excursion into deep minimal textures, acid-tingled beats, blissful grooves and dubby trips. A remarkable debut from an artist we'll be hearing a lot about in the future on a label capable of consistently delivering the fresh, cutting-edge sound of the underground.

Matt Edwards and multifaceted artist Patrick Mason team up as SRVD with debut release entitled 'ELEVATE' dropping on Rekids this August. Whether as Radio Slave or his various other monikers, Matt Edwards is one of electronic music's most consistent and innovative artists.

Ever since his early reinterpretations of Kylie Minogue and New Order, Edwards has continually commanded respect as a producer and in-demand remixer, whilst as a label owner his Rekids imprint is undoubtedly one of house and techno's most influential platforms.
Meanwhile, Patrick Mason continues to conquer the fashion world; a devout club kid and gifted creative turning heads as an outstanding art director, illustrator and model, whose extensive artistic talents include a unique and compelling voice destined for dancefloors.

SRVD's story begins when the pair met in Panorama Bar, which soon led to Edwards and Mason hanging out at the studio and later evolved into improvised performances in Berlin's club scene and beyond. 'ELEVATE' perfectly captures the raw spirit and vibe of their live show, with whispering vocals ushering in precision kicks and piercing stabs until Mason's mesmerising voice comes fully into play.

An homage to the New York vogue scene and a huge hit at Panorama Bar - where the pair have set the house on fire with three unannounced shows so far this year - 'NASTY' is a syncopated, bass-driven monster of a cut complete with infectious claps and metallic effects.

Durch die Kombination von flimmernden Synthesizern, ergreifenden Breakdowns und kraftvollen Lyrics, die das Gefühl der Liebe in ihrer reinsten Form einfangen, beschwört "Beautiful Morning" die Art von Ehrfurcht einflößenden Sonnenaufgängen hervor, auf die der Titel
des Tracks anspielt.

OAM goes in for round two with the Ground Zero EP. The Shrine of Oinari-san is used here as a metaphor. It is a wellknown passage in Japan that leads to the sacred ground on the mountain of Inari. Lydia uses the production and titles of tracks such as "Walk" and "Modulate" to describes her personal way of life on her own Inari. The remixers E110101 and Lenson complete the EP and the second story of OAM.

After a long and relaxing time on Sunday morning in Saturn, Antam is back to the exploration of space. Get ready for one of the most intense intergalactic ride!!

The Ukranian trio Sonic Resistance delivers a real space Anthem on the A1 and dancefloor therapy on the A2. Two tracks where house, techno, and all between show a perfect synergy. While Giorgian rising talent BEQA is on the B face duty, his two house blended bombes, retrofuture sounds infused, are the perfect the space journey sountrack. Enjoy the ride.

« Flight of The Comet » is a landmark record in the Frappé catalogue : recorded in studio with Art of Tones and the Chatobaron band, its lavish sound has been hailed by critics worldwide, the record having received support from Laurent Garnier, Terrence Parker, Folamour, Gilles Peterson to quote only but a few DJs who have played it.

This record is so richly produced, that each part is a unique groove gem, from the basslines, to the organic drums, to the guitar riffs and saxophone solos. So much so that the label and artist have decided to extend the flight, push the comet a little further in its sound galaxy, with 5 exclusives remixes from Crackazat, Turbojazz, Paul Cut, Patchworks and Raw Analog Funk. This remix EP is just as rare as the original record, each remixer artist has brought its own sound signature to the original tracks, taking them to new uncharted skies, but still gently cruising at the speed of sound. Don’t let this comet pass you by !

For Michigander’s fifth release, Brian Kage delivers four solid dance-floor fillers, each infused with a unique blend of melodic Detroit soul, intelligent acid and perfectly mixed percussion. Each offering teleports the listener into a future where social distancing has finally abated and celebration can commence.


Lockdown starts the record off with undulating 303 bass notes that groove around in a circular arpeggiated formation until hypnotic 909 percussion breaks through with echoing claps and weaves together a tale of futuristic tension building.


Hold On Pain Ends features a stabbing analog synth-line that repeats a half-beat phrasing contrasted with slamming technical percussion, a heavy kick and a lush pad that is perfect for late nights in a warehouse.


That Woman from Michigan contains gentle swinging upbeat percussion and deep soothing chords with samples of Governor Whitmer asking all Michiganders to do their part and join together in solidarity. A subtly modulating acid line builds tension into a perfectly resonating crescendo.


F.U Covid19 - An ominous swelling pad rips across the dystopian horizon as swinging rimshots build around a deep pulsing kick and a dirty mono synth swirl. Echoing vocal samples punctuate this acidic frenzy until the tension falls away giving dancers an opportunity to catch their breath before the next round of infectious rhythmic groove forces the hypnotic spell to intensify.

"Retrospect X anniversary release - Reshaping the 70s, 80s, & 90s with the sounds of now."

Echoes of this summer's 'Shango' still shimmer through systems as Detroit's Waajeed continues to make good on his promise: to 'put paint where it ain't.'

After years of soul, funk and hip-hop explorations as a founding member of the Platinum Pied Pipers (among many other innovative escapades) and, most recently, a soulful remix of Amp Fiddler on Kenny Dixon's Mahogany Music, Waajeed is building on the fresh line of house grooves he commenced this summer. His first pedigree dancefloor tracks in almost 20 years, he taps directly into the source and builds with his own soulful bricks. It's working, too; DJ-wise he's playing alongside Moodyman, Mr. Scruff and Carl Craig this fall, while 'Shango' has enjoyed heavyweight support by The Black Madonna, Carl Craig, Jackmaster, Gilles Peterson and many notable selectors.

DumitrEscu, a Romanian DJ based in London who previously released EPs, among other names, on Priku’s Atipic Records, is the latest name to grace de Particular project.


His style blends in perfectly with Particular vision and you can hear this from the first track. The mesmerizing background noises are in sync with some lovely but haunting atmospheric sounds that accompany a powerful bassline to drive away the listener into a state of perfect bliss.


On the second track, which is fittingly called Mezmerizing Soul, DumitrEscu shows off some impressive skills in building a track that can’t really be described as a club banger, but rather a perfect afterhours jam that will hypnotize listeners on the dancefloor.


Next up is Synthesia, a wonderful but pragmatic track which slowly but surely evolves into a lovely tune that is carefully constructed by the author. The end result is a superbly complex exploration into DumitrEscu’s creative mindset. Daniel Broesecke’s remix adds just the right touch for it to be blasted through the dancefloor so that people can get their feet moving.

For its first release, Metallic States proudly presents a 2 tracker from Goa Trance veteran Joking Sphinx. With 2 uncut dancefloor tracks from his archives (1996-1997), this new release from the producer proves that music can be relevant more than 25 years later, forged in the past but here to stay.

We are pleased to present our 5 vinyl EP, with tree original tracks from Kaesar and a remix from Cosmjn.

It has been a year and a few months since we released our last record, and with a summer full of parties, we feel it was the ideal time to release one of the top producers from Portugal, Kaesar.

For us it's a special record, besides being our first record by a Portuguese artist, it's also his first solo record.

Three tracks that represent Kaesar's personal musical character, with a powerful Cosmjn remix, which will not leave anyone indifferent on the dance floor.

After years of friendship, we decided to launch an EP together, this ep was kept in our headquarters more than a year waiting to see the light of the day.

Three strong original tracks and great remix by the Romanian wizard Cosmjn, an exclusive design, and a special edition that includes a A3 Risograph print and a bonus track.

The fourth production of Nagoya based label RICE. The fresh Croatian artist Mariano Mateljan whose production been released from Infuse、Gilesku Records、Moss Co、u.dig is the fourth one of RICE. A-side bump that keeps thick and straight tough grooves. B1 is track that bouncy rhythm and voice samples making people impressive. Deep track B2 that unfolds aggressively while fluctuating low. An undisputed EP where the trackmaker's sense and the label color of RICE perfectly matched.

Odd Mob’s ‘LEFT TO RIGHT’ has staked its claim as one of the hottest tracks across the circuit thanks to early support from some of the biggest DJs in the world including Diplo, Eats Everything, Disclosure, Fatboy Slim and Dom Dolla. Peak time business with a hypnotic vocal that works perfectly for this hands-in-the-air house stomper.

On the flip side Odd Mob remixes an absolutely iconic noughties classic from Planet Funk – ‘Chase The Sun’.

DJ support from Adam Beyer, Chris Lake, Diplo, Disclosure, DJ Boring, Dom Dolla, Duke Dumont, Eats Everything, Fatboy Slim, Hayden James, John Summit, KC Lights, LP Giobbi, Maala, Michael Bibi, Offaiah, Pete Tong, TSHA, Walker & Royce

2024 Repress

Mysterious Call Edan project on the slightly less mysterious Sounds Better Records label (at least we can say it's from Bristol) . 'Frome' that we got here, as you could hear if you pressed 'play' already is a take on Liz Torres' masterpiece that lived a great life in the 90s and got the resurrection after D'Julz re-released it on his Bass Culture Records. This one, it seems, balances between the original groove and all those 'Deep' and 'Get Down' editions perfectly. Not overloaded with stuff, it squeezes everything from its 126 BPM - almost impossible to listen to the end without moving. I tried. Both A and B-side openers here are slightly similar and could be described as the step on Cosmic Rhythm territory. Both of them got more or less the same pipey vibe, but 'La Riviera' has much more energetic beat structure inside (built around kick) while 'Protos' keeps pumping us with hats. The last one here - 'Gum' , with the most annoying moment on the preview cut (cuts just before the drop), probably will get even more people screaming and shouting, than any other track on this EP. Drop is working perfectly, be sure.

Cementing themselves as a key player within the UK circuit and beyond, Midlands based discotech look to release the fifth slice of wax on their vinyl imprint. Heading up the release is golden era tech house tastemaker, Jay Tripwire with three original cuts, whilst Alex Arnout features with an unreal remix. The world of two legends meet as this one looks to quickly become an essential record for your bag this summer.

Kicking things off with a killer wonked out groove is “Jaybee Loves Old Shit”, a nostalgic nod to the early noughties, punchy drum patterns combining with a cruising bass line, perfect party starting sounds from one of the finest do it. “For Nathan” sees Tripwire assert his animated vibe once more, liquid-like emotions pouring out the seams but still maintaining a distinct drive.

As we hit the B side the title track begins to lean into more tripped out territory, sub heavy wobbling bass lines conversing with the crisp broken minimalistic drums. Intelligently arranged as each and every detail is placed intricately to create a hypnotic tension. Rounding off the EP is Alex Arnout’s remix of “The Omen”. Dropping it on its head as he crafts a more direct version of the track, utilising the transcending vocals and allowing them to converse with the elasticated groove.

Discotech continues on their upward trajectory with this versatile EP, simultaneously with their highly anticipated events going hand in hand with the extensive catalogue of the label, whether that be vinyl or their digital offshoot.

Supported by:

Ricardo Villalobos, Archie Hamilton, Marco Carola, Gene On Earth, Danny Tenaglia, Steve Lawler, Laidlaw
Annie Erez, Samuel Deep, David Gtronic, Clara Da Costa, Jane Fitz, Nima Gorji, Tania Vulcano and many more
