As the geopolitical world violently fragments, the global underground continues humming through digital networks in a ceaseless dialogue of sound, image, and attitude. And what is the attitude amongst the subterranean youth in Russia, the central actor in our apocalyptic vibe shift, and home of Locked Club? Months ago, statements against the war - now it is no longer safe to speak. We will have to feel their attitude instead.

Solomun and Boys Noize built a friendship around a shared appreciation of both house and techno, and a willingness to embrace the melodic side of the latter.

Swedish electronic post punk artist REIN teams up with French DJ / producer Djedjotronic (Jérémy Cottereau) for an all out relentless assault on our senses with the arrival of the brand new 'Transmutation EP. The EP features two original tracks 'Transmutation', 'Automation' and remixes by Unklevon and Pablo Bozzi. They say: "We wanted the songs on the EP to be cold and mechanical.
