Mutant Volt emerges from the depths of the underworld with ‘Bona Vista’, a six track EP built from unreleased DAT recordings made during the early 90s. Drawn from a vast archive, much of the material had been long forgotten, written at a time when electronic music moved fast and rarely looked back.

An alias of Dan Piu, Mutant Volt was used to explore a stripped, machine driven sound shaped by early trance structures and bleep influence. Recorded on a hardware setup that has changed little since 1991, these tracks were made instinctively and left behind to gather dust… until now!

Today these tracks carry a different kind of weight. What was once made quickly and left behind now feels immediate – proof that some music doesn’t belong to the past, it simply arrives there first. ⏱️

“Signs of Life” launches a new annual series for the label, existing alongside its ambient & downtempo “Daisy Records Volumes” counterpart. Where the latter drifts inward, this series leans into the smoke-filled after hours, where boundaries dissolve and form blurs.

Featuring a mix of new northern hemisphere friends alongside the label’s enduring Australian roots, swampy minimal, shadowy tech house, hypnotic dub-techno, breakbeats, and trance-tinted excursions converge here. It’s an initiation into another side of the label, tripped-out, and lost in the haze.

Belgrade-based Laars marks his first solo vinyl release over a sensual 4-track tale honouring the merits of faith, discipline, and the satisfaction of taking your sweet time. Drawing from the vibrant sounds of the 90s and 00s progressive trance and house scenes, he discovered a kindredship with those who have since then primed and perfected their own modern takes on the definitive genres.

The proggy trance/house opener “Breath Control” sighs into existence, emerging like the head-rush of euphoria that accompanies surfing the sadistic tease between suspense and bliss. High resonance and acid sounds punctuate the track, supplying a dominant bodily cue amidst the melodies, gated vocals and loops. “What If You Fly” observes the void below and decides to jump anyway, finding its faith rewarded in a free-fall through chords and synths that knit into a dark, groovy soundscape – soaring over an underscore of conga drums as though caught in exhilarating flight.

On the B-side, “Concur” looks up from the void back into the ether, embracing the danger of the pale blank space above. At 135BPM it glitches and dances through a cyclone of atmospheric synths, pads and cult sci-fi film samples, grinding like a serrated blade under a soft-focus lens. For the close, “Delight” flirts with the comfort of another, tantalising its approach before erupting in slow-motion from its amniotic state. It blisters, bubbles and gasps – and then takes a roll-eyed descent into breakbeats and arps that glide like menacingly slow fingertips over hot skin.

The record from Laars has a precious message: when was the last time that you really let go and listened to the steady rise and fall of your own breath, or sank into the discomfort of not knowing, but continued anyway? The outcome is still the same: jump.

Following a string of releases on a who’s who of top labels such as Planet Euphorique, Salt Mines, Haws and Craigie Knowes, prog-trance pioneer Lisene drops a full-length LP on his On Rotation imprint. With 8 hyper-detailed tracks ranging from club-focused techno, progressive and electro to slo-mo downtempo, Lisene brings his A-game to an album sure to cement his place as one of the most exciting producers and DJs in the UK’s underground music scene.

Created over several years with a perfectionist’s attention to detail, “Science Friction” flits between moods and sonic environments with ease while retaining the cohesion of Lisene’s inimitable production style. Despite being an album, this is still very much a record for the DJs, featuring heads-down club tracks and bass-heavy electro crafted with precision and a cinematic sense of scale. For the home listeners, expansive slo-mo soundscapes and cerebral synth odysseys float high above the clouds, with widescreen details revealing themselves ever further with each re-play.

“This album has been 15 years in the making and represents a culmination of everything I’ve worked towards in defining my own sound and style without letting myself be pigeonholed. I’m immensely proud of each track – it really reflects where I was at musically while making this, while giving a glimpse into my future sound. This is a record that deserves to be played on the finest sound systems and hi-fis, and I couldn’t be more happy with how it’s turned out. Dive in and enjoy!”

Combining influences from across the spectrum of dance music with a cinematic sense of psychedelia and his own inimitable production skills, “Science Friction” is sure to see a lot of airtime across the festivals, after-parties and living rooms of the world this summer and beyond.

On Rotation is a Leeds based label, event & mix series run by Chris I’Anson, Lisene & Adam Pits. Artwork illustrated and designed by Patch D Keyes.

Numero 25; a quarter of a century in records. Newcomer ‘mpeg‘ rises up to mark the special occasion with a positively forceful weapon of stark heat, and met the mark with unabridged precision.

The Monte Kali EP serves as an agile, singular and versatile record, with mpeg’s original productions neatly remixed by two artistic geniuses; Bliss Inc. and Spray, both of which transcend rave, Goa trance and prog in their own methodical, authentic demeanour.

Enjoy the ride, take your time. After all, there is no finish line.
