Short info:

Wilson Tanner return to dry land with Legends, a wine-soaked agricultural fantasy, made among the grapevines at Manon Farm in South Australia. Where their earlier works settled into the sun-struck torpor of a suburban Perth backyard (69) or drifted off-course on a riverboat on Port Phillip Bay (ii), Legends trades salt air for vineyard sweat, the scrape of boots on dry earth and workers’ radios humming with the summer test cricket season.

Through this agricultural haze an image of a working vineyard emerges - ducks, dogs and plovers intrude; tractors and quads fly-by; stainless steel gleams at the edges. Recorded without mains power, the Manon demos overflow with farmyard ingenuity. Wind, brass, balalaika, balloon, pipe and synth are trained onto the staff with wire, tape and string.

A caricature of Australian viticulture, Legends is packed to the horns with the mythology and manure of natural wine. Swigging and belching in camaraderie, Wilson Tanner press their surroundings into something raw and unfiltered, letting bum notes, leftovers and sediment linger in the bottle. A cornucopia of biodynamic sounds.

Short Info
Within Tiga’s stripped-down electronic funk and Hudson Mohawke’s grandiose beats exists a common thread; an idea Tiga expresses as “hardcore romance”. Recorded in Los Angeles over the last few years, these commonalities ebbed and flowed through various recordings, culminating in their debut album - L’Ecstasy. Turbo revisits the album with a set of club-driven remixes, bringing together Keinemusik’s Reznik, Montreal masters Priori & Patrick Holland as Jump Source, and Berghain stalwart Quelza. Pressed loud on a stunning 12” picture disc, featuring imagery from none-other-than Wolfgang Tillmans.

Key Selling Points
- Tiga & Hudson Mohawke are remixed by two of Berlin’s very best, plus a pair of Montreal masters.
- Stunning 12” picture disc features imagery from none-other-than Wolfgang Tillmans.

All aboard! Ketiov’s Rhythm Trainx Vol. 4 pulls into the station, delivering another batch of rhythmic delights to keep DJs and dancers on track. This isn’t just a drum tool EP; it’s a rhythmic Swiss Army knife designed to
break the monotony, shake the staleness disease, and maybe even help you discover that long-lost dance move from 2003.
True to form, Ketiov goes above and beyond the call of percussion. These tracks aren’t your average drum loops—they’re living, breathing organisms. With real drum sounds recorded live and sprinkled with a touch of
his own playing, the result is an earthy, organic feel that’ll make any drum machine feel like it has some catching up to do.
Spanning tempos and moods, Rhythm Trainx Vol. 4 offers something for every moment, from warm-up whispers to mid-set movers and late-night wigglers. It’s the ultimate utility belt for DJs who like to mix it up and keep their
crowd guessing. Bonus points: these tracks have been rail-tested harder than a new set of railway-wheels, ensuring maximum reliability when it counts.
Whether you’re layering textures or cruising through extended sets, Ketiov’s latest will keep any train rolling. Dance floors beware—this one’s got serious rhythm!

While they’ve been active for more than two decades, it’s only been in
recent years that the Berlin and New York based contemporary sonic arts
platform, Soundwalk Collective, has begun to gather the accolades and
attention that they rightfully deserve. Firmly rooted within a
multi-disciplinary practice that engages the narrative potential of
sound within the contexts of visual art, dance, music and film, as well
as tapping anthropological, ethnographic, and psycho-geographic
research, they’ve gained great note for collaborations with Jean-Luc
Goddard, Nan Goldin, Sasha Waltz, Charlotte Gainsbourg, and numerous others.

Building on the back of 2023’s brilliant “All the Beauty and the
Bloodshed”, Soundwalk Collective now returns with “Khandroma”, one of
their most fascinating and singular endeavours to date, which re-engages
their enduring creative partnerships with Patti Smith. Issued by Ubi Ku,
a brand new imprint founded by the Italian Buddhist Union dedicated to
the relationships between Buddhist cultures, music, and sound, across
the album’s stunning two sides this incredible ensemble draws
inspiration from and conjures Tibetan deities, the Himalayan Plateau,
the valleys of Nepal and the highest peaks where the most ancient
Buddhist temples reside, culminating as a sprawling sonic tapestry like
little else. Issued as a beautifully produced, limited edition vinyl LP
and CD, mixed and mastered by Giuseppe Ielasi, complete with a booklet
featuring liner note essays penned by Chiara Bellini and Filippo
Lunardo, and images by Stephan Crasneanscki, it’s hands down among our
favourite releases by Soundwalk Collective to date and not to be missed!

An international experimental sound art collective founded in 2001 by
the artists Stephan Crasneanscki, who was joined in 2008 by producer
Simone Merli, Soundwalk Collective is a contemporary sonic arts
platform, featuring a rotating constellation of artists and musicians,
that, in vastly varied number of ways, has continuously explored the
remarkable potential of sound within the contexts of visual art, dance,
music and film, offering particular emphasis to anthropological,
ethnographic, and psycho-geographic research, examining conceptual,
literary or artistic themes. In addition to their many collaborations
and accolades that attend to an increased ambitious catalog of releases,
they scored Laura Poitras’ film, “All the Beauty and the Bloodshed”,
which won the Golden Lion at the 2022 Venice Film Festival, as well
performed and exhibited at Berghain, CTM Festival, documenta, Manifesta,
New Museum, and Centre Pompidou, where they notably opened “Evidence”, a
exhibition with Patti Smith comprising an audio-visual journey from the
work of French poets Arthur Rimbaud, Antonin Artaud and René Daumal.
While Soundwalk Collective’s output and use of sonority - sometimes
original composition and others manipulated archival recordings - and
context is varied, the project’s endeavours are unified by a focus on
sound as material that is both tactile and poetic, pursuing layered
narratives that address ideas of memory, time, love and loss. Their
latest, “Khandroma”, enlisting Patti Smith’s contribution on one of its
tracks, stands among the most exciting and rich of these explorations yet.

Perhaps the best way of approaching “Khandroma” is through Soundwalk
Collective’s longstanding focus on the discipline of psycho-geography -
a practice that interrogates the impact of an environment’s embedded
histories and meanings on the psychology of the present - as well as the
group’s integration of observations of nature, and uses of non-linear
narrative, as a vehicle for recording and the synthesis of meaning. Like
previous projects that have encountered them traveling extensively
across the world, occupying diverse environments for long periods of
investigation and fieldwork, during which they source materials for
subsequent works, the material roots of “Khandroma” are a body of field
recordings made by Crasneanscki, Francisco López, and Merli at altitudes
between 2,760 and 4,500 meters, in varying locations across Upper
Mustang during 2016.

Drawing the album’s title from the Tibetan feminine deity who reigns the
skies, the album’s two compositions weave a stunning sonic tapestry from
collaged sounds of nature, bells, drones, unplaceable tones and vocals,
and in the case of its second piece, “Chasing the Demon”, the voice of
Patti Smith, culminating as a deeply emotive and imagistic expanse that
taps something far more profound than any of its single parts. As the
collective states: “the album traces the continuous morphing of the wind
into sound expressions. The Himalayan Plateau seems designed to amplify
and echo the encounter of the breaths, the prayers, and the chants
emerging from around and within those temples; amid the sounding of
bells, the turning of prayer wheels, and the billowing of flags. A
resonant musical body that we recorded so as to capture its boundless
mutations; an unstoppable force that cries, whispers, and blows through
and over stones, wood, empty halls and monastic robes, etching an
ever-changing sonic landscape onto the surfaces it encounters.”

Immersive, stunningly beautiful, and haunting, “Khandroma” draws the
ancient and distant into the consciousness of the present, close to
home, bordering on the profound. Issued by Ubi Ku as a beautifully
produced, limited edition vinyl LP and CD, mixed and mastered by
Giuseppe Ielasi, complete with a booklet featuring liner note essays
penned by Chiara Bellini and Filippo Lunardo, and images by Stephan
Crasneanscki, we can’t recommend it enough.

Release Info:
Amsterdam natives Maarten Smeets and Lars Dales, aka Dam Swindle, unveil their third long-player with the release of a new track, the first to be shared from the upcoming album, ‘Open’ - out on 30 May 2025 via Heist Recordings.

The new album sees the acclaimed duo dive far beyond the deep sonic waters they’re most known for, exploring lower tempos, synthwave, hip-house, and ambient across fourteen tracks. With a gestation period that traces back several years, ‘Open’ is their most intimate and personal body of work thus far, birthed during a time of self-reflection away from touring and personal transformation as individuals.

“We felt the need to tell a very personal story through our music as a translation of our personal development in the past years. We also wanted to make music without a specific goal in mind; We simply wanted to create. By taking away the grid of dance music and any expectations of what a Dam Swindle song should sound like, the creativity started to flow naturally with songs in many different styles and tempos. The result is an album that feels refreshing and uplifting and still very much true to the heart and soul of our sound.” - Dam Swindle, January 2025.

While the trademark Dam Swindle four-to-the-floor beats are still ever-present on tracks like ‘The Present Is Always Perfect’, ‘I Need You’, and ‘Is This Love?’, it’s the gentle waves of synths on opener ‘Home’, the contemplative piano chords of ‘Bloom’ featuring Joep Beving, and the lo-fi ambience of ‘It’s Okay, I Can Wait’ that showcase a melancholic, ethereal sensibility previously uncharted by the duo. Collaborations with vocalists such as NYC’s Haile Supreme on ‘Not Enough’ and Neo-soul singer Faye Meana on ‘Girl’ expertly find room in between the dancefloor and home listening sessions, and a clear standout on the LP is the title cut where message-heavy rapped vocals from UK artist Samson ebb and flow amongst iridescent grooves.

Under the helm of Maarten and Lars’ adept A&R, their Heist imprint has become a beloved home for house heads of both schools old and new, platforming some of dance music’s biggest names from Cinthie to DJ Sneak as well as the musical dawnings of artists such as Kassian and Makèz. The Dam Swindle alias has achieved house music royalty-like status across a storied 15-year career that includes two critically lauded full-lengths, collaborations with the likes of Tom Misch and Kerri Chandler, and a globetrotting touring schedule. This album stands as their most profoundly personal work of art to date, and they can’t wait to share it with you.

Track list:
A1. Will Saul & Fink - Slo-Mo Life
A2. Will Saul & Fink - Slo-Mo Life (Sideshow Remix)

B1. Will Saul & James Alexander Bright - Blue
B2. Will Saul & James Alexander Bright - Blue (James Alexander Bright Remix)

Aus Music founder Will Saul collaborates with Fink and James Alexander Bright on the final EP in the AUS200.

After music from the likes of Quantic, Dam Swindle, K-Lone and Cinithe, Will Saul brings celebrations around his label's 200th release to a close with one track alongside long-time friend Fink and one with James Alexander Bright, an artist he discovered and signed to !K7 during a 10-year stint A&Ring with the label.

Saul's music has provided the backbone of the label since day one. His club-ready EPs and more immersive, expansive albums have helped to define its melodically rich fusion of bass and house. Just as importantly, his A&R has helped it evolve over the last two decades so it remains as relevant as ever with the current generation while providing a platform for contemporary talents to shine.

First up here he links up with his old friend, singer, songwriter, guitarist and producer Fink who, as Sideshow, was behind the first-ever release on Aus back in 2006. Since then, he and Saul have continued a fruitful working relationship which now bears juicy musical fruit once more. Their 'Slo-mo Life' is six sublime minutes of deep, dubbed-out downtempo. It's powered by a prowling bassline with tender melodies and introspective chords next to subtle vocal loops that cannot fail to bliss you out. Fink then offers up a remix as Sideshow that rides on airy jungle breaks while evocative synths are smeared in painterly fashion before decaying in endless reverb to an angelic ambient sound.

British multi-hyphenate James Alexander Bright has built up a colourful body of albums and EPs that soundtrack everything from hazy daydreams to lazy afternoons in the park via dance floor trips. The singer has worked with, among others, Groove Armada’s Tom Findlay and Girls Of The Internet and always brings a lovably lo-fi and intoxicating sensibility.

'Blue' is a raw, live sound with crashing hits and broken kick patterns. Bright's nagging vocal speaks of emotional pain while shimmering chords bring the heat. Bright's remix reworks the track into a widescreen hazy breakbeat soul track that gives his vocals extra room to make their mark while the exquisite live drums from Joris Feiertag keep you moving.

Will Saul, Fink & James Alexander Bright's 'Paradise Ave EP' arrives digitally and on 12” the 7th May
