every friday: house, techno and indie dance. the releases that survived the week, an artist worth knowing, where they're playing next, and whatever else i'm deep in. every issue is readable here, in full, for free.
every pick carries a ✅, which means two independent stores agree or the label said it themselves. release dates in dance music are wrong often enough that somebody should be checking. want it in your inbox first? subscribe here.
nineteen records made it through. peace control and luca saporito take track of the week, and peace control happens to be playing denver in three weeks. five tracklists went up, six IDs came straight from the artists who made them, and iii points finally showed its hand. no set times yet, we checked.
broken hill took the week with girlfriend, adam ten took the tracklists with a 34-track sunset in barcelona. 20+ survived the cut, contraband sat this one out, and there were almost twelve hours of soundcloud-only sets down the page.
on time this week. barely. mau p wins the week with just a little bit more, fifteen survive the cut, two edits land in contraband, and cloonee's red rocks set gets the full timestamp treatment on our youtube. plus five sets of the week and a taste of the 100+ drop.
seventeen for the club, four for daylight, gkat's disco powder on top. two edits into contraband, five full sets from the week, and the dj sets on our youtube start getting timestamped, unreleased ids included.
on time this week. barely. seventeen records survived the cut, a track of the week off a mexican label, and III points quietly turned october 16-17 into october 13-20. plus what we've been building on the site while you weren't looking.
a late one, and a heavy one. michael bibi and KETTAMA land on circoloco, AYYBO takes apart a tiga and chris lake record, and the track of the week isn't even from this week, which is the whole point of the section.
solomun and max styler put records out on the same friday. eight picks, the first contraband of the week, and the story of how max styler nearly quit in 2020 and who talked him out of it. plus the label nobody's talking about yet.
the first one. eight picks, a track of the week that had been sitting in a soundcloud upload since the 15th, and the receipts on what it took to find them.
