Bakk Heia’s schuttle drops the ‘Noisome Pools’ EP on Will Hofbauer’s gloriously idiosyncratic Third Place Records this December. The release starts with title track ‘Noisome Pools’, in which mysterious creatures gather to the sound of low-slung, organic drums, their gated voices humming along acidic licks and wriggling synth hits while tropical sounds envelop the forest. ‘Dungeon Shakti’ is next, its tempo dialled up with rattling percussion and hard-hitting kickdrums, futuristic bleeps and zaps whirring above while a robotic vocal rears its head occasionally.

schuttle’s ‘Jejunum’ continues the ‘Noisome Pools’ EP with more magical concoctions, culminating in a soundscape marked by tripped-out sequences and dub-infused rhythms before ‘Goo Imprint’ closes out the release. Intricate grooves with a side of wonk drive the track forward, while lightweight melodies and electrifying hits get doused in acid slick.

Newcastle-via-Manchester artist schuttle co-founded Bakk Heia Records with Jorg Kuning, Bitzer Malo, and Samuel Tomsky, stemming from Bitzer's now 8-year-running Bakk Heia party at Salford’s The White Hotel, where the four regularly deliver their signature mix of swampy euphoria. Schuttle's releases via Panatype and his own Bakk Heia Records effortlessly blur the lines between club and home listening and has received support from notable tastemakers like Ben UFO, Joe Delon, Jane Fitz, Kiernan Laveaux, Barker, Pariah, and more. He now lands on Will Hofbauer’s Third Place imprint, joining an excellently curated roster of label artists like Stella Z, Yetsuby, Later Version, and Sangre Voss.

Diamond Haze returns with a vengeance on Dungeon Boogie, their second EP of the year, following the summer smash More Than Ever. This time, they’ve unleashed four genre-bending, original tracks designed to shake up the underground. Avalanche kicks things off with a raw, mechanical groove, but there's just enough soul to keep you hooked. Empire is a techy, acid-soaked trip, made for losing yourself in the shadows of a packed, pulsing room. Phase III twists proggy tech-house into something dark and electrifying. And finally, How Are You? dives deep with some OG dub techno straight from the dungeon’s depths. Warning: this EP hits hardest on a big sound system. Handle with care — the basslines might just knock you off your feet.

Losing yourself in a garden of auditory delights, Apertura by Orchid is a 7-track collection unfurling like a rare night-blooming flower, revealing layers of trippy electronic soundscapes and hypnotic vocals. The experience is as potent and rare as the most exotic of orchid, taking root in your psyche and leaving a permanent mark in the electronic ecosystem

Orchid's five original tracks form the vibrant petals of this auditory blossom, each one a kaleidoscopic approach through pulsating beats and evolutive patterns. The music unfolds with the delicate precision of an orchid's anatomy, intricate and mesmerizing, yet packing the punch of a psychedelic expedition.

Anastasia Zems grafts her remix onto this already lush soundscape, adding a new dimension of mind-bending textures that intertwine with Orchid's original vision.

Meanwhile, Wigs pollinates the EP with a prog remix, infusing the collection with an irresistible groove that will keep dance floors in full bloom until dawn.

Faux Poly welcome Nottingham-based producer Jack Wright aka Croft to the label family with his latest offering 'Worktops,' a set of heavyweight club tools spanning Techno, Electro and Bass.

Having previously released on Scuffed Recordings, Left Right & Centre & MNSHN Records among others, Croft has carved out his sound by extracting unpredictable and undeniably unique melodies and grooves from generally atonal hardware experiments. The result is a beautifully leftfield, groove-focussed EP that’s rooted in Techno with traces of classic Electro mixed with a solid contemporary UK Bass sound.

Words from Croft:

"Titled 'Worktops' as an homage to my setup from when I was in between studios, setting up my hardware on my kitchen table. I used to have to alternate between which bit of equipment to have set up on the limited table space. The EP covers all my influences and production styles with the Midland-esque swampy techno, lots of swung drums and intricate percussion, weirdish modular basses and textures, and electro-tinged 80s inspired cheesy riffs/melodies. Dedicated to long days and nights making music on the kitchen table, longing for a studio space, it's stripped back yet full, crafted with a club focus."

Madrid-based producer/DJ GAZZI reveals the second single 'Diving In Clouds' taken from his forthcoming EP via Parisian label Ano Ano.

‘Diving Clouds’ is straight up hot-to-the-touch dancefloor fire. In true GAZZI style, we’re given a busy, loopy 4x4 beat laced groove with delicious percussion, elevated through expansive vocals and synths. An off-kilter, fuzzy, raw synth seeps its way into every corner of the track, providing a sinister growl in the low end that’s matched by a smooth, R&B-style vocal at the high end of the frequency.

GAZZI, the musical alias of Pablo Jiménez, proudly hails from Linares, Jaén in the historical community of Andalusia near Spain. Saying that, his sound would make you think he was a regular at FWD night in London. Heavily influenced by the founders of that sound, the likes of Burial, Four Tet et al. His music blends post-dubstep, UK bass, deep house, and breakbeat. Now based in Madrid, GAZZI has performed at top venues like Nitsa and festivals such as Sonár and Primavera Sound, where in 2022 he performed his first ever Boiler Room set.

If you’re not yet aware of the rising, rousing sound of GAZZI, the ‘Tus Ojos’ EP is a fine place to start. Be aware, though - this will not be the last you hear from this talented Andalusian artist.

RNT drops their fourth installment of the beloved compilation series Family Affair with a diverse offering of vibes across 10 tracks digitally + a special 5 song 12” vinyl sampler. This year’s edition adds many fresh new faces to the ever-expanding RNT artist roster, with head-nodding R&B stylings from Yasmin, a dreamy contribution from German deep house legend Vincenzo, modern live-arranged Afrobeat from Barcelona’s Arnau Obiols, burning cosmic disco from Ilija Rudman, and many more. The RNT stable turns out as well, with snappy afro-punk-disco from Underground System and an Afro-electro secret weapon from label co-head JKriv. With ever gorgeous artwork that is now the signature style of this series, this collection is one for both the listening shelf and the USB!

FSQ's ‘Freak Out For Fitness’ is a fitness anthem. It’s a new wave disco funk affair written by FSQ's Chuck Da Fonk and One Era that evokes the soundtracks of 80s fitness craze. Think Jane Fonda's workout videos, or the Jamie Lee Curtis & John Travolta’s film Perfect. Also Inspired by Chuck’s own fitness journey, where he lost 70lbs (30kg) and wound up becoming an athlete!

Soul Clap's Charlie leads with an extra heavyweight remix that pumps up the original with a funky house vibe, layers of percussion and bass before getting into a high intensity synth workout. The Lisbona Sisters are no strangers to a good stretch, and fresh off their debut release for Seth Troxler's Berlin-based Slacker 85, go full cardio with an Italo disco circuit. While you can hear Giorgio Moroder’s arpeggios in the mix, there's a muscular funk veneer bulking up the track. Bodies will pulse to elements of P-Funk and Chic that the Lisbona’s so artfully worked into these audio aerobics. Tromsø’s Third Attempt, uses his remix as a showcase for his signature trip-hop-house sound, warming up the musical elements from the OG as they build up a sweat over a sultry, six-minute session. The instrumental versions of 'Freak Out For Fitness' fit perfectly as DJ weapons in any high NRG set, all versions a supreme soundtrack for anytime you need to pump it up!

Melbourne-based producer Rami Imam unveils Safara, the latest release on his own label, Ponda Records, which he founded in 2020 as a platform for his cross-cultural sound explorations. Drawing from the rich traditions of the Middle East, North Africa, and the Mediterranean, Safara is a six-track odyssey of energetic and euphoric house and disco house, deeply rooted in both nostalgia and innovation.

Safara is the culmination of Imam's immersion into the golden eras of global music, channelling the soulful rhythms and melodies of Afro-Funk, West African Highlife, Arab Disco, Bollywood, Afro-Cuban Jazz, Libyan Reggae, and Algerian Rai. By blending these timeless influences with a modern, dancefloor-oriented focus, Imam creates a sound that is both steeped in history and refreshingly new.

With a sonic palette that includes iconic synths such as the Juno 106, Super 6, SH 101, Moog Model D, and the 303, Imam weaves the analog warmth of these instruments into lush, modern productions. Piano and strings—his favourite classical instruments—add an organic layer of emotional depth, connecting the pulse of the dancefloor with the timeless elegance of traditional composition.

Safara is more than a collection of tracks; it is a journey across continents and eras, where the pulse of the past meets the driving force of the present. Recorded in Melbourne but influenced by sounds from around the world, Safara invites listeners to traverse vast musical landscapes—from the hypnotic grooves of North African rhythms to the sun-drenched melodies of Mediterranean shores—culminating in a transportive experience that lingers long after the final beat fades.

By balancing the ancient with the futuristic, Imam has crafted a record that feels both comfortingly familiar and daringly innovative. Safara is a testament to the endless possibilities of blending cultures, genres, and eras into something that is not just heard but felt music for the soul as much as for the dancefloor.
