‘It Takes Grit’ is the 4th release on Kerrie’s Dark Machine Funk label. 4 tracks that were initially ideas from her ever changing Live Set performed in clubs and festivals such as Freerotation, Freedom Medellin, Tresor & FOLD and have made the final cut to finished tracks. All tracks have elements of Kerrie’s signature gritty machine funk sound, and carry her notable influences from Detroit / UK techno especially the Birmingham sound. Gnarly sci-fi infused sound design meets a raw stomping groove, the ‘It Takes Grit’ EP is aimed directly at the dancefloor. This one bangs! Learn More

Astonishingly, 18 years has now passed since Gilles Aiken - probably more celebrated these days for his work under the alternate Desert Sky alias - first offered up off-kilter tech-house tracks as Edward. Last year, he impressed with a wonderfully deep and unctuous EP on deep house imprint Smallville; here, he makes his bow on another must-check label, Kalahari Oyster Cult. In keeping with the imprint's love of all things trippy and otherworldly, opener 'Tentacle' sees him wrap chiming lead lines, psychedelic synth motifs, weird noises and layers of percussion to a chunky, locked-in house groove. Aiken then goes off piste via a skewed, druggy and at times dreamy tech-house remix of Trybet's 'Moodsetter'. Arguably best of all though is impossible-to-pigeonhole flip-side 'Dr Octo', which is immersive, unsettling, tactile and eccentric in equal measure. Learn More
Kerrie (Don't Be Afraid / I Love Acid / Eastern Bloc Records) launches her own imprint. Dark Machine Funk has arrived, get strapped in, commence ignition sequence. This is straight up ridiculous! All 4 tracks bang. Metallic textures, subtle tweaks and percussion grooves for mind, soul and body. Essential Techno with nods to that classic "Detroit" sound and distinct Electro flavour within.

Four years since their 032 collaboration, TSVI and DJ Plead are back on AD 93 to stir the pot of electronic music. Caldo verde, a hearty Portuguese soup, is an apt metaphor for their rich and diverse sonic palette. Blending Latin club, Arabic hard drum, and South African gqom, they craft a global club experience that is both familiar and utterly unique. Tracks like 'Triple It' and 'Gallop' are prime examples of their ability to push boundaries and create dancefloor-ready mayhem.
