Visionquest return to their Special Edition vinyl-only series and welcome a new friend to the family: Greek craftsman BODJ. Following a remarkable run of releases on the likes of his own Audiorama and Memoria earlier this year, the Athens-based DJ continues his vein of form with these four wide-ranging tracks... ‘Parusha’ takes the lead with warm tones and textures. Airy pads and an insatiable Chicago-like bump to the voluptuous bassline ensure this grabs full attention the moment it enters the mix. It’s backed by three other vital cuts that express BODJ’s true breadth and vision: ‘Miaplacidus’ celebrates one of the brightest stars in the night sky with a stripped back, sub heavy hypnotic groove, ‘Phantom’ kicks with timeless house dynamics that subtly evolve, twist, turn and fold into each other over its eight minute journey before we end with the wonderfully titled ‘Trip To Planet Love’. Once again showing BODJ’s scope and stylistic flexibility, it closes the show with a hip-wriggling electro twist. Slinky breakbeats, bubbling bass and a space-age feel; it’s every bit as cosmic and full of love as its title suggests. A perfect way to end another perfect Visionquest trip. Happy travels...

For their final release of the year, The Trip release their sixth EP 'Spiritually Tessellate' on their in-house label Tessellate. 'Funky Q Nice' takes techno and tribal influences and adds them to a classic house vocal. 'Do You Feel', is an end of the night track which is as good for the club as it is for listening at home. On side B we have 'Delightful Funk', which takes an iconic diggers organ anthem and flips it on its head. Finally we have 'Original Sound', which sees the duo dig back to some of the UKG and tech house sounds that they explored last year. The EP launches on Friday 13th December.

4 years into The Trip's music production journey, they release their fifth EP 'Uncovered' on their in-house label Tessellate. Taking inspiration from 90's and 00's house music, each track radiates nostalgia. 'Love Struck' offers the perfect mash up; an iconic hook, ravey vocals and the ultimate bouncy, house energy. 'I Need (Speed)', is the funky, speed garage tune reminiscent of your favourite summer festival classics. Side B brings you 'Trip Life Xtra', an instantly recognizable banger, followed by feel-good 'Foxy Dave'.

Off the back of their three releases in 2023, The Trip present their first remix EP. Inviting some of their favourite artists including Spray, Aldonna, Liquid Earth and Adam Collins, each have taken it in turn to remix a track from their back catalog on Tessellate. Got all bases covered here, a bit of tribal, bit of more techy stuff, some prog and some acid thrown in for good measure.

Next in line on Tessellate is London's Kylin Tyce. His previous releases on iO Mulen's OLDiViBES and Amsterdam based PIV records have gained him support from the likes of Seth Troxler, Butch, Mood II Swing and Chris Stussy.

The title track starts things off, a 2-step bumper which has a nice little switch up half way through. Further South takes things down more of a House route while still maintaining some garage flavours - a little reese bass, skippy percussion and horns etc. On the flip we have Thinkin' which is a straight up UKG banger. Finally Perception rounds things off taking the OG in a completely different direction by breaking the beats up and adding some atmosophiric pads - nice!

It's number six for Tessellate and this time they're shining the spotlight on France's Xavier Dusclaux AKA Armless Kid. After a number impressive outings on the likes of Rekids, Let's Play House and Traxx Underground, Xavier turns to the London based label with three original tracks plus a remix of the A1.

The title track, Drop Down (Club Edit), eases in with broken beats and a gentle bassline before eventually building into a euphoric, 5am acid banger. Opal Sunn, who are regulars on Nick Höppner's Touch From A Distance, have dialled up the 303 from the orignal to give it a whole different energy. Flip the record over and we have two tracks aimed straight at the club. Category, which features MJOG (Daydream/Recordeep), combines shuffling percussion over wiggling basslines. The final track mixes shivvering pads, punchy organs and skippy drums over a wonky sub. It's called Les Bo Jours (Wonky Funky)

Tessellate is a South London party that has been running for the last four years predominantly at Corsica Studios in Elephant and Castle. The label is a natural progression of their events, featuring artists and friends they have booked and met over the years. The debut release comes from a new alias of a regular guest to their nights. Firmin crafts two tracks for the club - La Selva for the sunrise and Energetic Solution for the peak time. Brassica (Feel My Bicep) and Tel Aviv’s Moscoman both deliver with two different takes of La Selva on the B-side.
