DNA EP by Shadow Child

 




Shadow Child returns with one more exquisite EP under the title "DNA".

These are the sounds that shaped his musical identity, blending acid house, breakbeats, and rave influences with a fresh, modern edge. This 5-tracker is inspired by his Manchester roots, merged with the raw energy of UK club culture.

Limited to just 500 vinyl copies, the EP features the distinctive vocals of Falle Nioke from Pigeon alongside a collaboration with Manchester electronic band Delphic. All in all this one is a record that feels both nostalgic and forward-thinking. It's absolutely his very own musical DNA, you can tell.

Don’t miss this essential celebration of the rave sounds that inspired Shadow Child - a piece of wax that deserves a place in your own… DNA collection.

"Hot Gush" by Outcry

 



German duo OUTCRY, comprised of Dave G and ACiDicy, have been active for nearly three decades, building a reputation through their uncompromising blend of hard-edged breakbeats. Whether performing live or in the studio, they've always stayed true to their underground roots while constantly refining their sound.
 

Their new album, "Hot Gush", delivers a powerful electronic breakbeat experience that should instantly connect with fans of Pendulum. At the same time, it reminded me of Killaflaw, thanks to its gritty attitude and high-octane energy.

All in all, what really stands out is how the duet keep the intensity on a high level with clear flaming productions The album is bold, energetic, and shows that the boys continue to push their sound forward without losing the character that has defined them for so many years.

Gremino - Metro Station DJ Mix



Finnish Junglist Gremino presents his latest specialty, under the title "Metro Station".
This project introduces to us 8 tracks that appear twice, first as experimental 4x4 jungle and then reimagined as hard techno. Every 4x4 beat is constructed entirely from chopped breakbeats rather than conventional drum hits, creating a unique rhythmic language that ties both sides together while allowing each genre to take on its own distinct character. Rather than feeling like alternate versions, the two halves reveal how rhythm alone can fundamentally reshape a track's identity.


The "Jungle Side" thrives on restless, fractured grooves, shifting between urban tension, tropical warmth, and post-apocalyptic decay, while the "Techno Side" transforms those same ideas into relentless warehouse pressure with rolling techno rumble replacing jungle's sub-heavy foundations. Hearing tracks such as "Metro Station" or "Block Breeze" in both forms highlights Gremino's fascination with rhythm as a tool for reinvention. Throughout, rough textures, playful detours, and unconventional sound design keep the music feeling personal rather than purely functional.

The release is paired with a beautifully produced cassette edition limited to just 30 copies, coming out digitally as well.
