POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

@astro_sg returns with a high-octane collection of tracks, peaking at the dizzy heights of 138 BPM, engineered for late night club moments and steeped in early 00s/90s influences. We were fortunate to have Cape Town’s own Biodive (@terrencepearce) for a remix, bringing a driving yet minimal sound, effortlessly captivating listeners. 🧚‍♂️🧚‍♂️👽

A1, Subatomic, seizes the spotlight with its relentless, driving energy. It immerses us in a 2001 trance soundscape, featuring sharp synth lines and dynamic vocal chops, while echoing, panned stabs enhance the track’s deep, otherworldly ambiance.

River Torque, panning UFO pads from a different dimension, shifting gears with precision. A tunnelling groove locks in, firing us straight into peak-time. Direct, relentless, and built for the highest intensity—this one drives everything forward. No escape, just pure momentum.

A3 sees Astro reconnect with his dub-techno origins, pulling in the deep, atmospheric vibes of his early work. Basic Channel-inspired textures are unmistakable, but here they surge. Reverb-soaked layers cascade over a pumping 909, while razor-sharp hats slice through the fog, propelling the track into a hypnotic, futuristic drive.

Wormhole is your go-to for testing low-end limits—bass-heavy, deep, and undeniable. This might be the most floor-shaking, post-pumping Astro track yet. The rich, undying textures crafted from the Blofeld Waldorf deliver sweeping alien FX, creating a soundscape that feels both immersive and extraterrestrial.

Biodive is one of those rare artists who can take a track to another level, almost transcending into another dimension. This remix embodies a minimal yet fierce Detroit sound—stripped down but powerful, hitting with precision and intensity. It’s the perfect choice to close out the EP, leaving a lasting impression with its raw energy and driving beat. by @astro_sg

A Portal To The Unknown – 7 Rotations of Neptune Discs brings together 12 producers across a double LP. Tifra and Match Box return following their own ep's on the label this year, joined by familiar contributors Wigs, Aiden Francis, Jeku, Cybernet and Mahkina. COZi, Dive Crew and Thurlow Joyce make their first appearances, with Milès Borghese and Biodive completing the four sides.

Wigs’ “Strangers” and Aiden Francis’ “Uno” glitchy, warped prog. COZi makes his Neptune debut with “Ride The Snake”, a lean, stripped-back tech-house roller that brings early-2000s sound into the present. Jeku follows with “Droop”, a trippy, ozone-soaked slow roller, while Thurlow Joyce closes with the warm, deeply submerged dub techno of “Sundowner”.

Beyond the vinyl, three digital exclusives expand the release: Bert Vesper’s “Babbel Truc”, Azzecca’s “Home” and Foley’s “What Could've Been”. by @astro_sg

As part of the release, we’re sharing seven digital exclusives, available only on Bandcamp — rare material from trusted names, each with its own identity and weight. 🧚💥

Primitive Needs brings a tech-prog trip. The Australia-based duo have carved out a strong reputation with EPs on Craigie Knowes, On Rotation, and R.A.N.D. MUZIK. This latest cut stays true to their sound: tightly engineered, high-intensity club gear.

Astro & Ash Is finally release Replica — a track created four years ago and long kept in the vault. Astro, who also runs the label, teams up with his brother Ash Is to deliver something that’s been doing damage in the right hands — warming up floors for the likes of Dr. Rubinstein and Helena Hauff over the years.

Wigs comes through with one of the compilation’s peak moments — a straight-up dance-floor destroyer that’s already been doing the rounds via Spray, Roza Terenzi, and more. Built for impact.

Tourman delivers serious weight — 303 lines weaving through dubby chords and crisp percussion. A full-bodied club cut, built to move. Keep an eye out for that Houseum premiere.

This rising Chicago-based HOTPRETTY made waves on last year’s Portal compilation with one of its most praised tracks — and they’re back with "Lose Myself", an acid-laced, proggy follow-up that hits just as hard. Their ’90s-inspired sound keeps evolving with every release, and it’s no surprise they’re on the radar, with early support from Spray and beyond.

The last time these two linked up, Courtesy was first on it — premiering the track in her NTS mix. Emotional, infectious, and built for heads-down moments. One of those that lingers. round & Plastic GRN are back.

Skinner steps through the Subdivision portal and lands on Neptune Discs with a proggy roller — tightly layered, rhythmically sharp, and percussive detail dialled right in. Sleek and driving, with that signature touch. by @astro_sg
