Deeply rooted in UK underground club culture and shaped by countless hours spent digging, DJing, and dancing in intimate warehouses and sweat-soaked basements, Uncle Steve's newly launched label Fluff Records arrives with a strong sense of identity from the very first release.
With "Play & Play", Modal Citizen steps out from years of careful studio work to deliver a debut EP on Fraise Records that feels deeply connected to the golden era of Tech House while maintaining a distinctly contemporary edge.
On the debut release of Fluff Records, Fraise Records co-founder Wilba takes opening duties with “Rinse, Repeat” — a raw and groove-heavy cut that immediately establishes the label’s club-focused identity.
For the latest edition of absolutely on music, Torture the Artist travelled to Marla Records in Berlin for a special vinyl-only session centered around deep digging culture, long-form musical storytelling, and pure underground energy.
Tucked away in Berlin’s Friedrichshain district, within earshot of Berghain and Panorama Bar, Elevate feels especially alive in May.
The latest edition of absolutely on music documented a special moment in Torture the Artist history.
On the B1 of "Interdimensional Groove", Merov EP on Groove To Grave, “Spirit Spaceship” settles into a groove that feels effortlessly controlled - funk-driven, low-end heavy, and built with patience.
The latest edition of absolutely on music captured the full arc of the night ahead, documenting a carefully curated journey through groove, tension, and atmosphere.
The second release on Sunny Caleta continues the label’s mysterious approach: no artist names, no track titles, just music speaking entirely for itself.
House music often lives in the small details - the swing of a bassline, the echo of a voice, the patience of a rhythm that knows it doesn’t need to rush.
