    2. EARL GREY - Death Rattle (EP)

      Earl Grey lands on Rua Sound with a killer four track EP of dark, smoked-filled cinematic vibes straight from an 80s psycho-thriller. After over a decade of stellar contributions to some of the most crucial imprints around, we are delighted that he's contributed to our series of releases. There's three stunningly original 160bpm jams here, each dripping with Earl Grey's defiant experimentalism front and centre; a trip through vast range of sample sources and non-repetitive detailed percussion. Stick around too as he drops the tempo for the punishing Death Rattle, a tune so out there and at home on its own terms that it defies categorisation but demands to be heard and played as loud as is legal. Stunning material from a producer who continues to impress and innovate in equal measures. Learn More

      Dungeon Meat leaves us the heat for discerning dancefloors with this latest EP from their new signing Scott Diaz. Bringing the finest tracky business straight from his beefy bunker to your turntables, there's no messing with these meaty beats. After hearing some short demos versions on Instagram, Brawther and Tristan da Cunha quickly got in touch with Scott to snap up the tracks and cherry pick a smoking hot selection resulting in these four killer cuts designed for DJ (ab)Use only. Scott is an extremely talented producer who is behind the high grade NITELIFE sample packs and we are very happy to have him join our band of beat bandits. Learn More

    1. LADYMONIX - Steppin' Out EP

      LADYMONIX invites us into the sweaty underground with her latest Steppin’ Out EP. The dancefloor-ready release follows her self-reflective, club reminiscent Club Nowhere. Steppin’ Out is a soundtrack for the afterhours with its murmuring disco vocals, deep four to the floor kicks, and acid basslines. Title track ‘Steppin’ Out’ leads with the anticipation and excitement of heading out for a night with your people. Inventive and genre-defying Waajeed takes his turn to reinterpret LADYMONIX’s lead single with a 180-degree approach. Waajeed's Get Into It Girl Dub version of ‘Steppin’ Out’ is a heavily energetic and expansive rework with a Learn More

    2. LADYMONIX - Club Nowhere EP

      Ladymonix brings the class on the four tracks she lays down for Frizner Electric. 'Club Nowhere' is like a superbly deep Fred P track if he were a more extroverted character, while 'Mood' manages to marry dreamy pads to heavy weight kicks with a real sense of drive. The house gets raw and steamy on 'Gonna Let' then closer 'Movin On' is a super silky late night jam. What's more, a portion of sales from this EP will be donated to support Femme Queen Chronicles, a series about the lives of four black trans women in the city of Detroit. Learn More

    1. TONY NEPTUNE - The Watchers In The Trees EP

      Tony Neptune continues the story of Yuri Gagarin, the fabled cosmonaut and explorer who tragically died in 1961. In the third of these odes to Gagarin we join our Hero after escaping the city of Toierra drawn by a mysterious pull he tries to find help and allies to bring down the Clinks and save his friends. Learn More

    2. TRUNCATE - First Phase EP

      Los Angeles-based producer Truncate - real name David Flores - originally celebrated the first decade of his eponymous label in 2021 by inviting two techno uber-heavyweights, James Ruskin and Luke Slater in his Planetary Assault Systems guise, to remix two tracks from his back catalogue. The results, from the powerful and percussive end of the techno spectrum, have been flying off the proverbial shelves ever since, and we're glad to report it's had another repress. The two original tracks on show are naturally formidable workouts. 'First Phase' is a dense and murky tribal techno stomper, while 'The Eve' is a jacking, drum machine Learn More

    1. YOSI HORIKAWA - Spaces

      ‘Spaces‘ is Horikawa’s new album, following from 2013’s ‘Vapor‘ released via London-based label First Word. This time the album is released on Borrowed Scenery, a new label setup by Horikawa and close collaborator Daisuke Tanabe to enable them to operate free of constraints. The album features 11 songs that combine field recordings and sound design with a range of stylistic touch points: the fluid intricacies of hip-hop, the precise efficacy of IDM, the euphoric physicality of dance music, the humanity of acoustic instrumentation. Each song blends a primary sound source with a certain style, with titles often hinting at the origins of the sounds – “Moldy Vinyl,” “Vietnam,” “Fluid,” “Swashers,” “Nubia” – or the mood the music evokes. What ties it all together is Horikawa’ s deeply personal understanding of what constitutes music, an understanding shorn from the commercial and stylistic structures of music as a commodity.

    2. XENIA REAPER - Luvaphy EP (Pre Order)

      INDEX:Records is vitalised to present a record that it’s been scheming for quite some time: the first full-length trip by your favourite-producer’s favourite-producer — otherwise known as XENIA REAPER. Fluxing between ambient, mutant-idm and swashes of bass, ‘Luvaphy’ is a drift through the morass that arrives at a leafy plateau. An album that tickles your inner sentience and supplies endless indulgence for the inquiring-mind. Learn More

    2. VARIOUS - Let's Dance Vol 1

      Funkyjaws Music launches a new edits series here with four absolute dons of the form on one vital 12". It's Lay Far that kicks off with 'Never Ever Edit' which is all horn-led excitement and upbeat disco claps and kicks before Admin's 'Moon Trippin' takes a more slow and soulful approach. When it comes to edits few are more essential than Chicago's Rahaan who kicks off the B-side with 'Gonna Get Ya', a leggy funk number infused with cosmic synth rays and warm piano chords. Delfonic shuts down with the loose percussive jumbles and jazzy vibes of 'Let's Dance The Spank'. A fine start to the series with volume two already in the works. Learn More
