Bloody Mary marks 15 years of Dame-Music with three-part vinyl series

Dame-Music is celebrating its fifteenth year with a new vinyl series, kicking off with Volume 1 on 28 March 2025.

Founded in 2010 by French DJ and producer Bloody Mary, the label has released music from artists like Josh Wink, Boo Williams, KiNK, and Fear-E. It has grown alongside her own two-decade career, which includes a long-standing residency at Berlin’s Tresor and a recent move into fully hardware-based live shows.

The new series launches with four acid-driven tracks from:

Thomas P. Heckmann – Days Of Buzz, a heavy, dancefloor-focused acid cut

Bloody Mary – Fractal Waves, switching between 4/4 and breaks with playful 303 lines

E-Bony – 303 Elements, building into a tense peak with crisp drums and hoover effects

Hardfloor – I’ll Never Own A Helicopter, a euphoric, club-ready closer

Each record sleeve is designed by Philip Mercieca. When combined, all three volumes will form a single collectable image.

Future instalments will include tracks by Ben Sims, DJ Mell G, DEAS, Viikatory, Jerome Hill and more.

Here’s what Bloody Mary had to say:

“It’s been an amazing journey since 2010. Huge thanks to all the artists we’ve released, the people behind the scenes, and every one of you who’s supported the label. You keep the dream alive.”

‘15 Years Of Dame-Music Vol. 1’ is a tribute to the 303 – and to the music lovers who’ve stuck with the label since day one.

Out 28 March 2025 on Dame-Music

Seddig joins Hardgroove with new five-track ‘Neodyne EP’

German producer Seddig lands on Ben Sims’ Hardgroove imprint with a new release out 28 March 2025.

This follows his well-received Hypersolar EP for sister label Symbolism, which gained support from DVS1, Jako Jako, James Ruskin, DJ Bone, and BBC6 Music.

The Neodyne EP builds on that momentum with five tracks that dig deep into modern techno. Each cut explores a distinct mood, shaped by texture, space, and sharp rhythmic control.

Track-by-track:

Neodyne – atmospheric broken beats with a Shackleton-like edge

Gravity Defier – tight 4/4 grooves with grinding, percussive interplay

Sherman Demands – rolling techno with mechanical weight

Tonk – pressure-building intensity made for dark rooms

Altitude (6 O’Clock in the Mornin’, On and Onin’) – eerie and melodic, slowly spiralling

This is a detailed, floor-focused record with range and restraint. Whether it’s the subtle pulse of Neodyne or the peak-time drive of Sherman Demands, Seddig delivers with control and character.

Out 28 March 2025 on Hardgroove

Early support from:

DVS1, Regis, Marcel Dettmann, ANNĒ, Peder Mannerfelt, Radio Slave, Truncate, Mumdance and more

Sidney Charles Returns to Hot Creations with 'Low End Theory'

https://www.beatport.com/release/low-end-theory-ep/4948324

Sidney Charles is back on Jamie Jones’ Hot Creations with a new three-track EP, Low End Theory, out now. This marks his third release on the label, following his 2015 debut with Santé on Forever and his recent remix of Nobody But You by Black Hawks of Panama and Bisi.

The EP kicks off with 'Disco Bumping', a slick house cut featuring Aleya Mae’s smooth vocals layered over warped textures and deep synths. The title track, 'Low End Theory', takes a darker route, locking into a hypnotic groove with rolling basslines that set the tone. Closing the release is 'We Keep On Groovin’, a punchy number built on skittering drums and filtered elements that keep the energy flowing.

Charles has spent 15 years refining his style, releasing on labels like Solid Grooves, PIV, and Eastenderz. His own imprint, House Heavy Society, has brought together artists like Archie Hamilton, Prunk, and Kolter. This year, the label is heading to INPUT at OFF Sonar in Barcelona, The Loft in Manchester, and a US tour.

Low End Theory is out now via Hot Creations.
