Leftwing : Kody - I Feel It
Read more . . . →This is the sound of a club at exactly the right hour, lights low, floor packed, nobody checking their phone. Leftwing : Kody have quietly become one of the most dependable duos in tech house, and I Feel It is them doing what they do best: a rolling, hypnotic groove with just enough vocal to give you something to hold onto. The bassline is deceptively simple, a two-note pulse that locks in around the thirty-second mark and refuses to let go for the next five minutes. Toolroom releases can blur together into one long functional groove, so I notice when...

Conni, Lynxie, THEBOYBENNIE - WOULD U
Conni, Lynxie and THEBOYBENNIE's WOULD U is an NCS track with an actual sneer in it, which is rarer than it should be. Worth a spin, louder than expected.Read more . . . →Subscribe →Weekly digestSundays. One email. Zero ballads from white guys in beanies. -

KRITIKAL - WATCIS!
Read more . . . →The first thing you hear is a bassline that sounds like it’s being physically wrung out, and from there WATCIS! basically never lets your ears settle. This is Monstercat in full aggressive-dnb mode, all snapping breaks and a low end designed to test whatever you’re playing it on. KRITIKAL’s sound design here is genuinely nasty in the good way, every hit placed with the precision of someone who spent too long in the studio and enjoyed every minute. The drop at 0:52 does a stuttering, glitched-out thing that shouldn’t be danceable and absolutely is. What keeps it from being pure...

Inner City - Pennies From Heaven (DJ Paulette In For a Pennies Remix)
Read more . . . →Hearing Inner City again in 2026 does something to my chest I wasn’t prepared for. Pennies From Heaven is a piece of Detroit history, Kevin Saunderson and Paris Grey’s fingerprints all over the original, and DJ Paulette’s remix treats it with exactly the right mix of reverence and irreverence. She keeps Grey’s vocal front and center, because you’d be an idiot not to, and rebuilds the floor underneath into something that would work in a Manchester basement at 2am today. The bassline has that rolling, warm quality that modern house spends fortunes trying to recreate and rarely nails. What Paulette...

Tomorrowland is 11 days out and the internet has lost its mind
Read more . . . →Tomorrowland kicks off in Boom in eleven days, and the internet has already decided it’s the greatest thing to ever happen to a Belgian field. Two weekends, sixteen stages, five hundred names, one castle-shaped mainstage that costs more than most people’s houses. You don’t need a €500 ticket to hear the tracks that’ll actually run the place, though. Here’s the pre-game: the songs the Mainstage will lean on before Guetta pretends he built them from scratch. 1. Martin Garrix - Animals The one that turned a Dutch teenager into a headliner. That three-note lead still detonates a crowd on contact,...

501 - The Final Cut (Chime Remix)
Read more . . . →What happens when a dnb producer hands a track to someone who lives at 140? You get The Final Cut in Chime’s hands, and the answer is: it gets meaner and slower and somehow more urgent. 501’s original was rolling neurofunk, all forward momentum, and Chime drags it down into dubstep territory without losing the aggression that made it work — if anything the halved tempo gives every bass growl more room to actually land on your chest. Chime came up making melodic stuff and has been getting progressively filthier release by release, and this is him fully committed to...

Volkswagen Lost China. 100,000 Workers Get the Bill.
Read more . . . →Volkswagen wants to cut up to 100,000 jobs and shut four German plants — the biggest restructuring in the company’s 89-year history, roughly one in seven of everyone who works there. The sites on the chopping block, including Zwickau, Hanover, Emden, and Audi’s factory in Neckarsulm, employ more than 45,000 people between them. And the reason a worker in Emden is about to lose the thing his whole town is built around? Management got beaten in China. BYD and the other homegrown brands ate VW’s lunch, sales in its single biggest market fell 20 percent in one quarter, and the...
