New Releases

    2. CHAMPION SOUND - Gun Fevah (7" Inch) (Pre Order)

      It's a UK thing, they say. However, halftime and Jungle are dubbed internationally since ages. Positive vibes are killing borders all over the globe. Members of Champion Sound met while playing in Reggae bands in Moscow. Neekeetone was drumming, Koondoongoo is still playing bass. Learn More

  • Bass Music / Dubstep / Garage

    1. OBJEKT - Ganzfeld EP

      Objekt launches his new label, Kapsela, with a 10-year anniversary reissue of his lauded production ‘Ganzfeld’. An ambitious, evocative electro/IDM epic with cavernous drums and a riotously funky bass solo, Ganzfeld was initially released in 2014 on Leisure System as the B-side of Hypnagogia, a split EP with Detroit electro pioneers Dopplereffekt. It quickly garnered critical acclaim (including Track Of The Year by Resident Advisor) and amassed a cult following despite clocking in at 147bpm, a relatively unwieldy tempo for most DJs at the time. Given the seismic shifts in tempo and genre that have taken place in the 10 years since and the emergence of a new generation of producers with whom Ganzfeld’s influence has resonated, 2024 seemed like the perfect moment for a re-release.

    2. BIG HANDS - Girde Maye / Astere (Remixes)

      Blank Mind presents three sublime versions of Big Hands’ ‘Girde Maye / Astere’ from Tammo Hesselink, Notte Infinita and Paperclip Minimiser - originally released on the Ossario EP in 2021.Though playful in nature, and not overtly political - the lyrics explore identity and geographical boundaries. As the artist explains - it is written by an Italian and a Türk that talks in Italian, released in Britain in times of Brexit “and that’s why I chose to have a title in Kurdish in a song “sung” by a Türk.” The vocal provides endless scope for reshaping and is entrusted to some of the most distinctive producers in electronic music; each of whom sensitively reimagine the original.

  • House

    1. SYSTEM EXCLUSIVE - Summertime (reissue)

      Just oozing with pie-eyed early ‘90s optimism, the ’Summertime’ EP is excavated from Simon Akers & Jason Brown’s vaults for a full release with Terrestrial Funk, augmented by 4 additional cuts. Dusted down from original DATs the vibes properly dovetail prevailing tastes for this brand of good times suss, bound to rotate ponytails and induce pill belly flashabacks for those there at the time and likewise the young bloods. Learn More

    2. THEO PARRISH - I Can Take It / Sawala Sayale EP

      Then, and now, Theo’s gear is simply in a lane of its own. On both counts he takes all the time he needs to stealthily work your bones to a lather, placing an historic lineage of blues, jazz, and soul at the service of the heartiest deep house grooves. ‘I Can Take It’ is a masterclass in stealth mode soul, bringing it up from the toes to the nose with cryptically shuffled, woodcut drums bound to burning keyboard and nagging vocal in custom rhythmelodic formula. You’ll know it when you feel it! Learn More

  • Techno

    1. A4 - Lights At Night EP

      Very proud to introduce the next Voyager Recordings instalment, a full on 9 track album from Spanish artist A4. Asier Morillas has had many releases on the hypnotic, sci fi and space theme, with such established labels like Axis Records, Warm Up Recordings, Evod, Illegal Alien and Subsist to name but a few. With this vinyl release, he takes his sound for a more dancefloor orientated outing, with his ever excellent use of drums, hats and groove on top of hypnotic synths. Learn More

    2. DJ SAVAGE - Dubs 2000-2002 EP

      four relentless techno tracks from the early 2000s. Learn More

  • Experimental

    1. AAAA - X Scroll Era LP

      Balearic / Downtempo goodness from AAAA Learn More

    2. CHANTSSSS - Shyness LP

      ‘Shyness’ suggests something subtle, intricate and ethereal – but it also demands your attention. Over 10 tracks of spacious, sub-aquatic ambience, CHANTSSSS pulls you deep into his vaporous sound world. The songs themselves, a blend of ambient pop, chamber music and pulsing low end rhythms, feel cloaked in mystery. Layers of reverb and zonked vocals float in the atmosphere, moving between and through one another, mist on mist. It’s not necessarily a quiet record, the low end can shake a room if you turn the volume up, but it does feel extremely intimate – proof that some art speaks loudest in its quietest moments.
