Promising new talent Joolmad is quickly becoming a name to watch out for, his latest body of work comes in the form of the “Perspective” EP, the third release from the thriving English producer, off the back of his sought after EP on TSOL. Although young Joolmad’s refined taste and years of tweaking his sound enabled him to construct tried and tested underground material, meaning his music and the PILLZ label could not be better suited. Gritty, straight edged peak time action from a producer on the rise. The new school showing their hand here as Joolmad shares his interpretation of mysterious sounds of modern times, melding electro and techno genres as he moves.

The next volume of the Fruit Medley series kicks off our releases for 2025!Welcoming 4 Fraise newcomers to the bowl, this VA features an array of techy club pumpers from across the house & techno spectrum.Heads down, hands up action throughout!

Secretsundaze’s 9FINITY imprint make it a hat trick of releases with label favourite DJ Life’s ‘Forbidden Space’ EP.The four track release from the Naarm/Melbourne native is a techy excursion that subtly meshes elements of minimal with modern UK bass dynamics, informed by the Australian’s psychedelic production style.‘Utility’ sparks the ignition with a bass-driven peak time beast that morphs through syncopated grooves and punchy drops, the A2 ‘Electrolyte’ takes a hedonistic turn where resonant tones spiral across a rolling 4×4 drum groove.‘Breathe’ steers us onto the B-side with dubbed out subs and percussive layers fusing up across this impeccable roller. ‘Stay Playful’ takes on a early-tech house feel with tribal drums and hypnotic echoes that venture on throughout the night. Digital bonus track ‘Love Sensation’ draws UK-Garage influences combined with lush pads and quirky vocal snippets drifting amid the tops.Another big one from the 9FINITY crew, with plenty more in the clip for the year ahead…

So happy to share the next vinyl release on Neptune Discs; this time with four heaters that take the sound even further. After the huge response to last summer’s debut vinyl, we return the va series with more prog 90s/00s flavours from rising talents around planet earth: Jeku, Tifra, DJ Life, B From E.Jeku’s opener sets the tone with its downtempo allure, featuring alien vocal chops and twisting acid lines that feel like transmissions from another world. A slow descent into the unknown, where rich textures and drifting melodies blur past and future. Following his standout release on Harmony Rec, Jeku continues to push boundaries with his unique, hypnotic sound.Tifra’s track on B2 catapults us into a high-energy, club-driven reality. The relentless bassline powers forward, while otherworldly synths inject a sense of urgency that sharply contrasts with the opener’s reflective mood. Quickly becoming one of the staple names of the progressive scene, Tifra’s sound continues to evolve with undeniable force.DJ Life kicks off the B-side with his signature blend of playful, club-ready cuts that effortlessly command the dance floor. Trance elements weave through the mix like echoes from another dimension. With releases on respected labels like Craigie Knowes, Dansu Discs, and Gestalt Records, DJ Life brings a fresh energy that’s both nostalgic and forward-thinking.B From E closes the EP with a progressive acid track that feels like the culmination of everything before it. The 303s twist and spiral, while the bassline pushes forward with intensity, pulling us toward an unknown destination. Known for his versatility, B From E brings a unique energy to every track, his second outing on Neptune Discs.

What lies on the terrain for which no map exists? Tifra has volunteered to take the plunge and find out. For the 28th record on Haŵs, the Dutch DJ/producer steps up to the frontline with ‘Terra Incognita’ - a primitive force to be reckoned with that reveres the hypnotising, ominous unknown. Four investigational tracks unify the checkpoints, wandering through themes of 00s/90s leftfield house, prog, and continuous, undulating grooves.The EP sets sail with ‘Invoke Hysteria’, scavenging through malevolent, hostile waters and a caution of pad synths, drums and agitated melodies.Relenting onwards, ‘Serpent’ slinks into a mellow respite, moving slowly and deliberately like a snake in the moonless dark. Deep, resonant synths coil around the percussive heartbeat of the track, weaving together velvet layers of bass, wind instruments and steady, surrendering exhalations of breath.The titular ‘Terra Incognita’ hoists up the anchor and yields to the trance of the summoning liquid night. Repetitive melodies form the contours of its shifting course, moulding a ritualistic rhythm under the dissolving face of the sky.Admo steps up to the wheel for the remix, smoking out the initial perfume of the atmospherics into a new, tough brutality. Hauling the track out of its initial spacey orbit, he re-embellishes it with dour synths, drums and a primal, subterranean growl.Some say that there is no worse poverty than that of connection, so why not be the first to take the risk, break the divide and find out what lies beyond the veil? Otherwise, make your own guesses, and then let them guess who you are.

A rediscovered collaboration from T. Jacques and Velvet Velour comes Spring 2025, supported by two new dancefloor-focused solo tracks.
