Decibel Place arrives on Dorbachov’s Scrap & Delete with the ‘Swarm’ EP, coming with a remix from Belgium’s Steve Redhead. Known for navigating the darker, more experimental edges of the genre while maintaining driving, floor-focused energy, the Liverpool-based Decibel Place has previously delivered on labels including Materialised, Transition, MASS, and Khazad Records. As a DJ, he continues to earn attention with his tightly constructed sets across the hardgroove circuit, a sensibility carried through this latest body of work.

The EP opens with the title track ‘Swarm’, setting the tone through immersive, tension-building arrangements. Undulating sound design and tightly interlocked rhythms draw the listener into a dense, atmospheric space, rich in detail and forward motion. Steve Redhead steps in on remix duties, reworking ‘Swarm’ into a stripped-back, percussive cut defined by clarity and control, where subtle shifts in rhythm and texture drive a deeper, hypnotic propulsion.

‘Infection’ follows with a shift into more industrial territory, introducing broken rhythms and raw, mechanical textures that sharply punctuate the groove. Closing track ‘Smoking Kills’ leans fully into hardgroove territory, with driving drums and visceral energy bringing the EP to a powerful, club-ready finish.

We are presenting ‘Smoking Kills’.

‘Swarm’ EP will be available after May 22nd HERE.

Detroit’s Tyke makes his debut on Lee Foss’ Repopulate Mars with the ‘1,2 Roller’ EP this May, continuing a steady run of form that’s seen him release on Hottrax, Mood Child, and Tamango. His sound folds in minimal and deep tech while staying rooted in groove, and his latest release showcases another original exploration of deep dancefloor dynamics with real personality, already picking up support from names like Yaya, Joshwa, and more.

“I’m really excited to be releasing this EP with Repopulate Mars. It’s been a target label of mine for quite some time, so this moment means a lot. The label is home to so many legendary tracks and continues to push the sound forward, so it’s a real honor to be part of it. I wanted this EP to live in that darker space: built for the club, but equally effective outside of it. Basslines that ‘talk’ to the listener, drums that groove, and synths that pull you in.” – Tyke

Title cut ‘1,2 Roller’ opens with snappy tech drums and rapped vocals that bring plenty of attitude. A buzzy lead cuts through the mix, building tension while fat bass keeps things rooted – it’s a bold, lively cut with rich sound design. ‘Can’t Stop’ follows with a nimble, funky bassline beneath crisp percussion and a cooing female vocal. ‘Got Caught’ closes out the EP with future-facing tech energy, pairing taut bass twangs, ass-shaking grooves, and R&B samples that will detonate any party.

We are presenting ‘Can’t Stop’.

Across the ‘Paratechno’ EP, Yrsen works with a deliberately reduced palette, letting texture and modulation do the heavy lifting. Muffled percussion and dense surfaces sit atop forceful, heat-treated low end, while long, evolving filters slowly reshape the space from within. Synth lines rarely announce themselves outright; instead, they emerge gradually, bending and mutating as rhythms lock into a steady, rolling gait. Even at its most direct, the music resists obvious peaks, choosing persistence and depth over spectacle.

The title track anchors the EP with a squelching square-wave motif that coils tightly around the groove, while other moments explore resonant noise, restrained claps, and atmospheres that hover just out of reach. ‘Paratechno’ EP is precise without being sterile—club-focused, yet patient — marking Yrsen as an artist attuned to the subtler mechanics of modern techno and a fitting addition to Observant’s evolving narrative

We are presenting ‘Nothing Is What They Say’.

Pheelo returns to the Repopulate Mars orbit with the ‘Move To The Beat’ EP, a tightly engineered three-tracker that doubles down on the Italian producer’s dark, minimal-leaning sensibilities. Fresh from his South of Saturn debut, which won support from the likes of Jamie Jones and Solardo, this latest outing sees him further refine a sound that’s already found a home on Metamorfosi Records, Criterio Music, and beyond.

Title track ‘Move To The Beat’ rides on tight, clipped percussion and a gritty, driving bassline, while acidic stabs and icy hi-hats bring the groove to life. ‘Oblivion’ follows, leaning into snappy drum funk and rasping textures, with a whistled hook adding an offbeat charm, primed for peak-time moments in Ibiza and beyond. Closer ‘Down To Business’ lives up to its name: no-nonsense, high impact. Signature drums and rapid-fire synth stabs lock in, while aloof vocals introduce a rave-tinged R&B twist.

We are presenting ‘Oblivion’.

Loner Tennis Club is an Italian electronic duo based between Turin and Milan, born in the last months of 2023. Their live set combines the dreamlike dimension of electronica with the vibrations of UK garage bass. Since the birth of the project, the duo has isolated themselves in their listening, leaving out trends and creating a live set that reflects their idea of clubbing.

Loner Tennis Club’s ‘Modern Rituals’ plays like a full night compressed into six scenes, not just the club as a room, but night time as a shifting state. It opens with ‘Energy’ feat. Duppy, a straight initiation rite: breaks and UKG snap into place while Duppy’s vocal feels like the hand on your shoulder pulling you into the room. ‘Overnight Shift’ keeps the body at the centre, all forward motion and rolling drums. City lights, passing cars, movement as instinct.

From there, the EP slips into something deeper. Dance becomes ritual, weaving club drive with a hypnotic pull, anchored by field recordings from Sri Lanka that make the whole thing feel both ancient and right-now.

The last stretch is about release and reflection, tracks resets the air with healing UK house grooves that run on future-garage melancholy. like scanning an emotional desktop full of half-closed windows; and the record closes with a vertical lift, vibes uplifted, a little bittersweet, and quietly weightless.

We are presenting the fourth track, ‘Ctrl Case’.

‘Modern Rituals’ EP will be available after May 8th HERE.
