Ronin Ordinance release possibly their most varied compilation to date in the form of Genso Vol. 2 later this month, and we’re very please to have the exclusive on Dominic Ridgway’s ethereal new track Stand In, Stand Out. Skittering halftime beat patterns and a beautiful collection of soft melodies make this one a hypnotic, spaced out ride on the deep side of 170. Check it out, and look for the album coming December 13th.
Tellus is in our premiere spotlight today with a cut taken from his forthcoming Landscapes EP for Locked Concept. Shimmering Valley is rich in texture and atmosphere, with reverb-laden percussion and cinematic synth-work taking centre stage; definitely one for the armchair rather than the dancefloor. Watch out for the EP coming December 14th…
Peer Pressure continue their trademark style of releases blending tech heft with soul and groove with the 6th volume of their Breaking Ground EP series.

Perth producers Dead Zodiac and Jaise join forces for homegrown Aussie neurofunk imprint Protocode on today’s exclusive. Breathless evokes classic early 2000s neurofunk, which will come as no surprise to anyone familiar with Jaise’s previous releases; driving sub groove, sci-fi inflections and warping basslines a-plenty on this one. The release drops Dec 6th at all the usual digital stores…
South Korean producer Xeomi is in the Dojo premiere hotseat today with a slab of tech-edged nastyness called Sentimental. Punchy drums and and roaring mid-bass spar across the tune with melodic touches; neuro, but still with funk. Check it out below and watch out for the release hitting Beatport on Dec 6th.
Hypnotic business from Banzulu on today’s premiere; None60 continue their impressive run of leftfield 170 releases and we’re very pleased to have the premiere of Gulfstream for your ears!

Check it out, and hit up the None60 Bandcamp for preorders ahead of release on Nov 22nd.
Deep sonic textures on today’s premiere as Dutch producer Sam Young returns to his own Fussy Music imprint with the epic Alluvial. Created for a fashion show of the same name by Elodie Carstensen, this is a rich and atmospheric tune, built of sweeping synths and warm basslines. Look out for this coming via the Fussy Music bandcamp from Nov 29th.
Kid Kun brings his signature sound to Aufect this week and we’ve got the exclusive on halftime monster Earthturn! Kicks, claps and a gut-shaking bassline; what more do you need to know? Look for this one via the usual digital stores from Nov 20th.
Dubbed out bass, technical percussion and unusual FX characterise today’s premiere as Neofunkers land on Sound Rising with a top new single.
