    2. HOOVERIAN BLUR - Hypnotizer EP (Pre Order)

      Ploughing lesser-used breaks and finding finesse in the ruffest and tuffest rave emissions, Jason Warlock is back with more of that untouchable clout he rolls out as Hooverian Blur.

  • House

    1. VALERIA CROFT - Mad Mood EP

      This four-track EP is a masterful fusion of jazz, house, and minimalism, delivering captivating results throughout. It opens with "Kaksi," a track that glides with a laid-back, slow-burning groove, enhanced by atmospheric layers that create a calming, almost out-of-body sensation. Next, "Mad Mood" takes over, a rhythmically fluid roller with a hypnotic progression and shimmering vocals that weave an entrancing, subtle energy. "Pretty Inspiration" follows, diving deep with a sub-sonic rumble, offering a refined and immersive experience. Finally, "Viisi" wraps up the release with a smooth, afterhours groove that lingers gracefully. Croft's ability to blend these genres so seamlessly makes this EP a standout, perfectly complementing Modeight's catalog. Learn More

    2. RAZ - Time Chamber EP

      Out of stock

      Continuing its streak of lit releases, Modeight Records now shines a light on an exciting new Romanian talent Raz, based in Manchester. Injecting some sick minimal house grooves, infectious energy into 4 original compositions. The young artist captivates the listener with his raw and rollicking flow. From the mega fun, head bobbing bassline jam and smooth vocals on "Time Chamber", to the slick electronic riffs of "Fun Ensemble". The deep, sub sonic wiggle of "A Sharp Delay", Raz carves out a sophisticated and hella enjoyable sonic journey diving into "Orange Glide". A breakout release for an artist who's definitely gonna be one to watch in the future. Learn More

  • Techno

    1. MENNIE - Signal Path EP

      Shout out to the Hoarder label for hitting the milestone of 25 releases, and they’re marking the occasion with a stellar offering from Mennie. Right from the start, the sound is intense, with “Tuncha” landing heavy kicks that’ll shake the walls, while ethereal synths weave through and a classic bassline adds that nostalgic touch. “Want You Print” brings a prog-infused, 90s-inspired, psychedelic vibe, and then “Noha” takes off with a wave of warm, blissful chords, topped off with some signature finger snaps. Closing out the EP, “The Lost Tape” brings the energy up a notch with full-throttle drums, booming bass, and exhilarating breaks to top it all off. Learn More

    2. ACUSMOUSE / AB SHOW - Line Conductor EP

      Acusmouse and Ab Show team up on Line Conductor, delivering a rich exploration of minimal and tech house. Rooted in familiar rhythms, the EP takes an unpredictable turn, with each track unfolding layers of texture that reveal new dimensions with every listen. Acusmouse’s “Topass” anchors the release, featuring a relentless pulse driven by a hypnotic bassline that allows the surrounding elements to flow in organic, shifting patterns. On the flip side, Ab Show offers a more introspective approach with “Subminimal Message,” using sparse percussion and eerie atmospherics to build an intense, cerebral tension. Together, they push the genre’s boundaries, blending unconventional sounds while keeping things fresh, captivating, and engaging. Learn More

    2. TSVI & DJ PLEAD - Caldo Verde EP

      Four years since their 032 collaboration, TSVI and DJ Plead are back on AD 93 to stir the pot of electronic music. Caldo verde, a hearty Portuguese soup, is an apt metaphor for their rich and diverse sonic palette. Blending Latin club, Arabic hard drum, and South African gqom, they craft a global club experience that is both familiar and utterly unique. Tracks like 'Triple It' and 'Gallop' are prime examples of their ability to push boundaries and create dancefloor-ready mayhem. Learn More

    2. ANDROO - Tribute To Jackie Mittoo LP

      Hybrid is a word used indiscriminately in our daily lives. This record isn't a hybrid; it's beyond hybrid, post-hybrid, so to speak. Does this phrase sound complicated to you, and are you never overly convinced by music theory and its caricatural aspect? Then forget what you’ve just read and listen to both sides of this record. You'll soon realise that these tracks are deliciously deft, drawing their essence from dub while leaving room for some skillful jazz writing. For those of you intrigued by melodies, the art of musique concrète or the exploration of dub music’s deviant angles, this record will easily find its place on your turntable. Learn More
