CRUV – CRUV2 [CRUV2]

Tom Carruthers is back with a second drop on the CRUV label. ‘Track 1’ has a subtle warmth and radiance to it that you might want to drop just as morning begins to break after a long session with your head down in the dark. ‘Track 2’ has a bouncy groove with synth rushes triggered left right and center and a lovely funk to it. There are darker, sleazier sounds on ‘Track 3’ and backlit, warming synth cuddles light up ‘Track 5’ before a more leggy 909 workout closes with the deep and classy, dubby tech of ‘Track 6.’ Timeless sounds that avoid trends in favor of lasting vibes.

Black Meteoric Star – Wet LP [DE-339]

‘Wet’ is the fifth full length album by Black Meteoric Star and the 10th release. Black Meteoric Star is a project Rayna started in 2006 when she was living in Berlin that brought together her life long love of dance music culture with spiritual themes, drag, and her formative experiences of S/M culture Black Meteoric Star has always had an avenger quality in Rayna’s life and creative work, and this iteration plays that role in response to the current political landscape. Wet celebrates the long standing shared history of electronic music and queer leather/SM culture and imagines a future where these two cultural expressions are re-connected.

Mystery Friend – Loco Buenos Aires

“We learn to live in chaos. It’s where our resilience is tested and we confront all the nuances of life. And what better place to experience it than Buenos Aires, a city where things happen that reflect this feeling at every moment. Through sound, I manage to express how my loved ones, my experiences, and this urban madness influence me.”

Eden Burns – Big Beat Manifesto Vol. XII [PP122]

New Zealand’s Eden Burns returns to Big Beat Manifesto, a series that has quietly become one of underground house music’s more reliable homes. Burns remains as prolific as ever, and these five tracks continue his knack for balancing club functionality with just enough oddness to keep things interesting. ‘Loop Of Trust’ opens in a haze of atmosphere before a broken rhythm emerges beneath it, then ‘Direction’ locks into a taut groove built from immaculate drums and very little excess. Over on the flip, ‘Time’ is the most direct of the bunch, driven by snappy percussion and rolling low-end pressure. ‘Razor’ lightens the mood through a playful melodic refrain before ‘Telephone Terror’ closes with clipped drums and dubbed-out effects. Another very strong entry from a producer who rarely misses.

Tom Carruthers – Agenda EP [LAX162]

With Agenda EP, Tom Carruthers closes a landmark trilogy on Skylax Records, following Neutralise EP and Deepline. Three records. Fifteen tracks. One coherent vision of machine-driven house music stripped to its raw, functional core. This final chapter dives deeper into direct, club-focused energy, where groove, repetition and tension do the talking. Agenda is less reflective, more physical — built for movement, sweat, and long transitions in dark rooms.

E&S Cooperation. – Alliance EP [PER001]

E&S Cooperation is a collaborative project created by Serasso and Aleksander Erdmann, two artists whose paths have crossed for years through a shared passion for underground electronic music and their involvement in the BDGtroit movement. Rooted in the spirit of classic Chicago House and Detroit House, E&S Cooperation is a return to the essence of dance music — raw grooves, timeless rhythms, analog synthesizers and genuine emotion. After years of friendship, mutual inspiration and countless conversations about music, the duo finally joined forces to create a project that reflects their shared vision. Their debut release, Alliance EP, marks the beginning of this journey and serves as the opening chapter of Pure Essence Raw – a new independent imprint founded to celebrate authenticity, artistic freedom and music created without compromise to trends.
