With this second release, the label continues its VA series, here expanding the Broken District territory to a wider sound spectrum by diving into Deep House sounds, as well as Nu Disco, and Instrumental Hip Hop. The EP opens with Jus Jam & Momla, joining forces on “Pumpkin”, a dynamic House production inspired by the messy, smoky Jazz club atmosphere of the 30s, and featuring a live-recorded bassline as well as dirty samples of saxophone. You can smell the bayou on this one. For the second track, Momla goes solo with “Huckleberry Dream”, a beautiful Deep House journey with a melancholic vibe and Soulful influences. As per our first release, Marian Tone gives the final touch on the A-side, this time in collaboration with Duktus. Together they deliver a loose, funky Hip Hop ballad featuring a live-recorded saxophone that provides a nice jazzy vibe. On the flipside, Jus Jam opens with “Naked Lunch”, a ‘Slow House’ track again influenced by the 90s Hip Hop scene… the kind of music to be enjoyed while driving on the Pacific coast during a hot Summer night. Roller-disco time with “On The Mend” by Vienna-based artist Sam Irl. Here he provides us with a beautiful ode to the Filtered House era… with subtle Funk influences. London artist System Olympia provides the perfect conclusion to this second EP with “Do You Need Anybody”, a melancholic journey influenced by early Electronic sounds from the 80s. Welcome back to the Broken District.

Needs - Not For Profit moves into the future of vinyl production partnering with Green Vinyl Records in Holland to produce the world's first 100% recyclable record. With 4.3m vinyl sales in the UK last year (the 12th consecutive year of growth), it’s clear that vinyl is back in a BIG way. But the basic technological principles of record pressing have not changed for a century and it now poses a more urgent environmental concern than it did in the format’s heyday. GVR are a brand new pressing plant who have patented a revolutionary production method which uses injection moulding rather than steam energy, using 60% less energy than traditional vinyl production. It also uses no PVC (meaning it cannot warp), has a wider frequency spectrum & longer lifespan, and is a 100% recyclable product, meaning you can dispose of it in your home recycling bin. This big step in vinyl history features the production skills of Saoirse, Reptant, Sansibar, Pugilist, LUXE and Hassan Abou Alam.Join us as we change the future of vinyl <3

Paolo Mosca makes intricate, multi-layered electronic music. Inspired by the early club sound pushed by the pioneers from his home region Veneto, he fuses house, trance and ambient - and moves forward. The Metaphysics EP displays the artist's passion and ingenuity, unfolding technical skill that makes clear his studio clock is set to 2023 and not 1993. On "Luciddreams" a statically charged beat and organ bass work up a groove. Accompanied by a misty pad and a slow, pensive arpeggiator, it pulses towards the break: there an acid line emerges, finds its spot in the mix, and refuels the track. "Energia" draws from a bolder, more euphoric range. Hand drums, a glittering lead and airy yet restrained chords float soaked in reverb and delay. A lean bass sequence tightly keeps the rhythm as flanged claps and subtly positioned sweeps create extra movement. The second side's opener, "Under the sea" features a formant filter lead meandering within the sweaty framework of heavily gated choir pads and a frugal bassline that eventually gets layered with an M1. Modulated vocals and strokes of additional melody ensure the stereo field again gets used to its full capacity. "Acqua" is a fitting coda. Some familiar patches are deployed over a tumbling beat that takes charge of the pace from the get-go. The palette might seem bright and blissful, but as always, the track's latticework contains enough contrast for a slight feeling of melancholy to keep simmering beneath. Mosca cited his meditation routine, how it helps him materialize ideas and thoughts, as a main drive upon finishing this record. The Metaphysics EP is a ruminative work. Comprised of four explorations in deftly manipulating energy with due attention to balance and momentum, it easily flows between genres, details darting in and out, showing the artist's understanding of composition and dance music history. It is a deep-dive selection of club-oriented cuts we are excited to release on Altered Circuits.

Awaited for over a year, Karnak On Acid's second release features Jonny Rock, the most influential interpreter of the Messiah Sound: two tracks that catapult us on a mystical journey directly into the temple of Karnak.

Nuron makes a spectacular return on De:tuned with a compilation of hidden treasures! Nurmad Jusat aka Nuron / Fugue, one of the originators of the UK emotive techno sound, went on a quest for archived material and unearthed a handful of DAT tapes with previously unreleased music from the early to mid 90s. The tracks offer a deeply melodic and unique masterclass. Nuron combines a pulsing four-on-the-floor signature beat of the traditional techno sound with his characteristic rhythm and harmony elements. Classic Likemind-esque material that comes with an exclusive Stasis remix of 'Contrapoint'. Essential purchase! Mastered by Matt Colton at Metropolis and pressed on 180 gr vinyl. Al White created all the graphic work. Stay tuned!

With numerous EP's on labels such as Withhold, Emotec, Partout, Art Of Dark etc we are very excited to present the debut album from Bufo Bufo! Limited copies
