   This is so catchy. Just came up on Spotify one day a couple weeks back and got hooked on it.

+>
+  When I think of forward-thinking techno, I think of releases like this. Exciting textures,
+  excellent mixing, and silly genre deconstructions - Michael. ‘Imago’ uses mind-bending sounds that
+  feel like they’ve fallen over the ledge into nothingness, with ‘Nil Frigo Ah’ being the clear
+  crowning example of this. Disassociating patterns rattle in ‘Set Em’ and the Foodman remix of
+  ‘Thoughts, Heavy’.

+  titleLabel="(eterna)"
+  embed="album=3814692877"
+>
+  Eterna, the latest addition to Lisbon's dynamic music landscape, presents its second release
+  ’Primitive Soundscapes’, by the visionary producer Bakongo (Livity Sound) otherwise known as Roska
+  for his invaluable pioneering work in UK Funky.ZZPrimitive Soundscapes is unnerving tonally.
+  Simple elements bounce out of rhythm and we can’t help but disagree with the bio that reads
+  ‘sun-kissed bouncy groove adorned with uplifting melodies’. It’s spooky. It’s mesmerising. It
+  feels like we shouldn’t really be listening to this without supervision.

+  embed="album=3209560740"
+>
+  Wobblin’ into the festival season with INVT, the Miami duo’s new EP is a melting pot of cross
+  border sounds from the UK and the Americas. The basses are wide and spacey, and the drum patterns
+  are swung and groovy. Flying under the radar even when it was picked as one of the best releases
+  of the month from Resident Advisor.

+  titleLabel="(D.KO34)"
+  embed="album=2386487089"
+>
+  Four House tracks from Paris with equal parts braindance, acid, and modulation. ‘U Want Dis’ by
+  Binary Digit is up first with dance-inducing 150 bpm electronica with a vocal CTA. It’s
+  melody-rich, reminiscent of his break-out track ‘Und 38490’. If you were at Caribou in Dublin on
+  the 6th of July, you would have heard the latter tune. Following is ‘Morning’ by Fasme with a more
+  melancholy touch giving us electro and acid basslines to make you thunk, then GGGG, with ‘La
+  Cueillette’, offers some sprinkling synths that sits neatly in the float house genre. ‘Mesonyx’ by
+  Mud Deep (Co-owner of D.KO Records) and Sans-Qui closes out with some euphoric electronica heading
+  into fuzzy breakbeats. A great release from D.KO records with an awesome release party that
+  accompanied it.

+  spotifyEmbed="album/5IARqYtSXIGgVIJM8uErfv"
+>
+  D*mp (Ryan Dwyer) gifts us with four demos that samples his grandfather’s piano into downbeat
+  moody tracks with spoken word from close friends. Weighted with emotion and creativity, D*mp’s
+  productions are easy to come back to again and again. Need a hug? Listen to D*mp. Also, like, go
+  hug someone.

+  title="6. NUTTY by Bodysync"
+  link="https://bodysync.bandcamp.com/album/nutty"
+  embed="album=704207211"
+>
+  In their own words – “it’s dance music by fans of DIY punk and Y2K pop, with a healthy dose of
+  absurdity”. Keeping things a bit nutty and glossed in 90’s rave aesthetic, Bodysync release a
+  funky album meant for all ears. No gatekeeping here, this is pure optimism in under thirty
+  minutes. The album operates like we’ve just tuned into a radio station with comedic audio bites
+  filling the space between the huge variety of sounds. A fantastic album with standouts like ‘I
+  Can't Stop’ rocking on with acid arps, ‘Babies’ grooving hard with a squelchy bass, ‘What Us
+  Worry’ beaming with old-skool cha-cha slide vibes, and ‘6 million’ riding high as a peak-time
+  dance floorfiller. Running the numbers, this release flies under the radar considering Ryan
+  Hemsworth’s (one half of Bodysync) Instagram following!

+  link="https://warehouserave.bandcamp.com/album/warehouse-dubs-vol-1"
+  embed="album=2792886080"
+>
+  91 riddimz for £20 isn’t too bad? Warehouse dubs carries a lot of big names like CRRDR, DJ Crisps,
+  Main Phase, Old Boy, and our recent Sweatbox guest Zuli. Also on the cards is Ambit, who we’re
+  very excited to play alongside at Macalla Festival this July. Their track carries an ominous, dark
+  mood with grungy basses and crisp chopped-up breaks.

+  link="https://benhauke.bandcamp.com/album/club-cute"
+  embed="album=1926376494"
+>
+  It’s all about the groove at Club Cute. The Londoner, along with some close pals, covers a full
+  spectrum of sound with grime, tek, dub, bass, and hip-hop on show. A diverse range gelled together
+  by his personal touch which embraces ‘feel’ over fidelity. CuuUuute!

+  embed="album=1460168536"
+>
+  ‘Like a Summer’ by Darlynn is the collaboration between producer Daria Lourd and vocalist Jaelynn
+  Walls. It’s a light and fun UKG number with catchy melodies that gets remixed by three producers
+  with mucho talent; RITCHRD, introspekt, and Bastiengoat.

+  embed="album=2585483364"
+>
+  Budding bass music from Reasons to Dance co-head Dåser on Into Blue Sky, the second release from
+  the Irish label. Another exciting Irish act hailing from the capital, finds flow here with quartet
+  of unconventional bass tracks, luring us in with cascading break beats, low end driven proggy
+  house, glowing and groovy 140 4x4’s, and dub fuelled baile. Sputnik One joins in to lend his hand
+  on maybe the EP’s standout, ‘Bubble Baile’, adding a pacing funky twitch to the original. A really
+  exciting debut EP. We’ll be keeping an eye on both Reasons to Dance and Dåser going forward.

+>
+  Fretting soundscapes from Dorset boy Ship Sket. From jittery synth progressions that fall into
+  drill, to sample torn deconstructica, Sket haunts, daunts, and excites across four tracks of
+  uncompromising, psychedelic bass music.

+>
+  A certain Glasgow spinster has been dishing out an array of low key Soundcloud heataz over the
+  past month or so. DJ Maicol’s La Mas Berraka alias churns out a Latin-tinged electro trash waltzer
+  here, one of a handful of tracks that has appeared on their cloud in recent weeks. They’re all hot
+  as hell, but this is perhaps the standout. This guy be taking over!

+  titleLabel="(tinashe vs javascript)"
+  soundcloudEmbed="https://soundcloud.com/hushhuntress/pinky-ring-nasty-tinashe-vs-javascript"
+>
+  Glasgow icon HUNTRESS adds a fiery club spin to Tinashe’s unavoidable superhit ‘Nasty’ with
+  references to Philly club hero JAVASCRIPT. Think raunchy Baltimore club with tinges of baile-funk
+  & jersey and you’re somewhere about there with this one.

+  embed="track=1372230001"
+>
+  Growingly influential Dublin act Lúnasa lands with a beautifully momentous ambient breakbeat
+  number on ‘Intifada’. The track illustrates current global hopelessness with desires for a
+  brighter future. 100% of the proceeds from this track will go to PAL humanity. This initiative
+  provides aid primarily in the form of medication distribution, nappies, menstrual pads, baby
+  formula etc.

+>
+  Roo Honeychild’s iconic City Imp label returned this June after teasing their first works back in
+  2021. A while to wait but all the more worth it with this club epic from fellow Dubliner Ozwald.
+  Combining jersey club, Baltimore, summery breaks, juke trax, and even Aoife McGregor’s infamous
+  voice note rant :O Back of the Bus has it all and more!

+>
+  Italian net label angels gun club return for the fourth instalment of PERREOTEK. 24 tracks of
+  various perreo formulas, merging the infamous Latin sound with psytrance, electro, and sensual
+  reggaeton & dancehall imaginings. Big hitters like Brenda, CRRDR, & Edinburgh club titan papa wkd
+  all appear on the VA.

+  title="17. Charmed EP by Peach"
+  link="https://peachplanet.bandcamp.com/album/charmed-ep"
+  embed="album=564352341"
+>
+  NTS Radio resident and psychic reader, Peach is reviving tech house with square basses, punchy
+  kicks, and delicate synth lines. After becoming Boiler Room’s sweetheart in 2022, she has gone
+  from strength to strength with her musical journey. ‘Charmed’ EP is four tracks full of club
+  goodies. The second track, ‘Charmed’, is the standout with a fun split of sprinkly synths and
+  squelchy basses on top, and rigid, compressed drums underneath.

+  title="18. Dream by Hekt"
+  link="https://hektttt.bandcamp.com/album/dream"
+  embed="album=1268242896"
+>
+  Seriously electrifying club music from Danish act Hekt on the stalwart Glasgow imprint Numbers.
+  Title track ‘Dream’ is a truly momentous number, one you’d expect to be lighting up festival
+  circuit’s globally this year (It probably is, I’ve just not been too many ;). Such an inducing
+  melody and vocal chop that is then followed by the sultry bass of ‘Front’. Two tracks that go head
+  first. Maybe my release of the summer so far… Chill out Brat stans!

+  junoEmbed="6651513-02"
+>
+  A release that may have been criminally overlooked due to a certain Charli. Blue Hawaii’s dance
+  epic ‘Diamond Shovel’ is yet another typically vibrant entry from the Montreal duo. An insatiable
+  pop club album firing out euro dance pumpers, hard electro, and tear jerking slow sets. Think
+  Kylie. Think Soft Cell. Then think TAAHLIAH. Brutalismus 3000. Sounds like a delectable meeting of
+  minds right?! That’s kind of the vibe here. A few Polacheky tones too. All in all, unreal.
