Operating at the intersection of club functionality and cerebral sound design, London-based artist
Anoesis has steadily built a reputation for forward-thinking electronic music that feels as at home in the
warehouse as it does in the headphones. Drawing on strands of techno, house, breaks and rave futurism,
Anoesis’ productions are defined by tough rhythms, immersive atmospheres and a restless, exploratory
spirit.
Here, we present his 3rd EP for Cyphon and we find him in fine form. The Idios Kosmos EP is a five-track
statement that dives deep into Anoesis’ own sonic universe — dark, euphoric, twisted and intensely
physical — designed for late nights, early mornings and everything in between.
Opening track Idios Kosmos sees Anoesis in full nocturnal club mode. Tough, driving beats underpin
shimmering strings and mechanical synth arpeggios, while a darker-toned, speaker-wobbling sub bass
locks the track firmly into peak-time territory.
Reptile Skin pushes further into shadowy, other-worldly space. A rolling bassline and crunchy, propulsive
groove form the backbone, while glitched-out sonic details and off-kilter processing inject a twisted edge
that sounds immense on a big system.
Flipping over, we find Feeling Go which picks up the pace and lifts the mood, combining a euphoric,
looped-up vocal sample with a driving, housey groove. Tripped-out synth lines spiral overhead, delivering
a rush of hands-in-the-air energy without losing the EP’s left-field sensibility.
Next up, Big Noodle heads straight into breakbeat territory, chopping and reshaping classic breaks into a
futuristic take on 90s rave. It’s high-energy, raw and playful, fusing old-school reference points with
modern production muscle.
Closing out the EP is Lonely, the gentler and more introspective finale. Pitched-up vocals, clipped beats
and scratched fills keep the rave DNA intact, but the mood turns inward, winding things down with a
cerebral, reflective atmosphere that lingers long after the record stops spinning.
Idios Kosmos EP is a bold, cohesive release that captures Anoesis at their most confident — a deep dive
into a personal club universe where darkness, euphoria and experimentation coexist.

Tracklist:

A1 - Idios Kosmos
A2 - Reptile Skin
B1 - Feeling Go
B2 - Big Noodle

The starting point of the Robert Mononom’s oeuvre with the Mononom series. Quintessential Dutch Freetekno sound originally from 1997. A side comes on at a time warping 170BPM, no time to loose full throtle, intense acid sounds raging over crisp hats and drum machine patterns for a solid 15 minutes. B1 is more atmospheric and dubby, with B2 featuring a very hypnotic and psychedelic sounding 10 minute long excursion, both well within the Mononom aesthetic. Restored and remastered.

Hate Love Trio made a low-key debut last year on this label with the slow, dreamy, dance-pop charms of 'Chan-O-Rama'. We have found out little more about the producer or producers behind it but here they or he or she returns with a full-length album of elegant and inventive downtempo and Balearic that starts off with those singles. Elsewhere, slow, mournful rhythms and melodies encourage inward reflection. 'Loosey Goosey' is a funky dancer for grown-ups, 'Billie Brownie' merges dub pacing with sunny guitar echo and 'Sunday I Don't Know' is a shimmering, jazz-flecked neo-classical warmer for intimate moments. An accomplished and adventurous album that is as good for the mind as it is body and soul.

Andy Riley and Laurence Ritchie are Drop Music accomplices; the label is a natural outgrowth of yesterday's Smokescreen Soundsystem, one of the oldest and best-respected UK crews to endorse (sound-) systems thinking. In case you don't know, remember this: they were early 90s stanchions of pressure-dropping UK house heft. This rare new reissue hears their hugely in-demand classic 'Party Criminals' return to fully swung, gatecrashing mode. And boy, weren't they just. Their fourth ever Drop drop, it first surfaced in 1999 and turned instant heads for its crystalline blue inners and jacking, organic sound, not to mention a cameo from fellow duo Freaked on the A2's 'Rhythm By Nature'. But our favourite has to be 'Make Me Feel' with its soft-attack hi-hats, not tapping, more fizzing like metal leaf against the ears.

Honeyed jazz vocals wrap themselves languorously around the grooves of Richmond, Virginia's long serving deep house servant DJ Aakmael, across four gorgeous re-edits. 'Crazy' builds from a Parrish-esque kick drum thump with dramatic strings and frantic snare punctuation. 'Luva' takes a more laid back route, with lilting guitar licks, 'Strange Fruit' is driven by an irresistibly crunchy rhythm track and low key keyboard chords, the vocals eerily echoing around the space. 'I Didn't Know' ends things on an up note with a bright and shiny house strut and jazzy flourishes. As matches go, this one is certainly made somewhere pretty close to heaven.

Buttechno digs into Berlin's club psyche once more on the second chapter of X-Berg Dubs, which twists his sound into something murkier and more inward. Squashed breaks and flighty dub techno blur with jungle-adjacent sidewinds, all wrapped in rough, lo-fi textures. These tracks don't rush the 'floor, they slowly subvert and seep into it. Overdriven delays, ghosted guitars, and smudged rhythms unfold on 'Dark Loop' with 'L Dub' setting a glitchy, Burial-esque vibe, while '2080 Dub' drifts deeper into echo and decay, but with retro garage chords and 'Stone Dub' is a pure stoner dub.

Yogg delivers the second release on his Polarized Future label, with four deep and sub-heavy cuts on ‘Don’t You’. Produced in his new Brussels studio, the EP channels the tension between familiarity and instability. The sounds here are deconstructed, fizzing and alive, produced with a pointillistic attention to detail.

This is music built for soundsystems, with a strong emphasis on bass weight and meditative, spacious minimalism. Elements are removed to the bare essentials, at times feeling like a contemporary reimagining of the early sound of dubstep; echoing the unease of a society in the midst of a dystopian timeline.
