The title track from Thomas Blanckaert's new EP Homage has class stamped all over, with its sleek Electro vibes and a touch of Acid for good measure.

Morning is the highlight from a strong EP entitled Cœur De Glace out today on French outpost D.KO Records. Alongside Fasme, the four tracker features Binary Digit, GGGG and Mud Deep & Sans-Qui, each with their own flavour of retro vibes, but it's the melancholy mind manipulations of Fasme's melodic Electro Acid that delivers the sucker punch sugar rush.
New Fading EP from Timothy Clerkin is a solid show. Sigma transmits distinct Kris Wadsworth vibes in its "I don't give a fuck" refrain, especially atop the no messing hardware-produced Techno and Acid that underpins proceedings, however it's the EP title track Fading that rises up, proving eminently hummable thanks in part to Heather Sheret's timeless vocal parts, combining strident rhythms and melody with perfect balance.
Delicious deeep pumping bass and then the most tasteful Acid on this excellent track from the new DC Salas EP Pixelated Dream Theory – in the same vein as Moderna's Prince cover DIE4U
Propulsive Acid-fuelled banger from English producer Man Loves Machine.
Expansion, the debut solo release from Glasgow’s Sub Club resident Stevie Cox trades in insistent Acid squelch and forthright rhythms, proving to be the perfect transition tunes from warm up into peak time. Third track The Golden Ratio is another fine collaboration with Fossil Archive, aka Roberto, following their shared Daydreamer EP in 2022.
Expansion is out now on Optimo Music.
Loving the mournful vibe of the synths coupled the fresh Acid bursts on this new track from Phase4our. It's the first track from an upcoming new EP called Language Barrier.
c-Extriv is out now on Machine Records.
Massive Acid riffs and an anecdote regaled in a broad English accent make for a surprisingly catchy tune on One Night in Stockholm, the opening track of this new EP from Stockholm's Marten ‘Mindbender’ Attling and Birmingham's esteemed Acid House luminary Justin Bond.
Comprising five tracks in total, the EP essentially presents the same track in four new shapes (courtesy of Richard Norris, slEdger, The Machine Soul and Mindbender's label co-founder, Högt I Tak).

The film visual effects artist Leo Neelands continues his pursuit of the club as DEFSET with Content#01 EP, the first in a new series of floor-focussed works. The highlight is undoubtedly the opener Skips, with its Acid loop and Electro vibe.

Acid bleeps and Kittin's instantly recognisable atonal rap herald the return of the celebrated duo. Lifted from third album, also called Third Album, Ostbahnhof is better than you'd have hoped.
Four solid slabs of electronic Dub heat
Experimental Dub, Electro and Dub Techno
Ambient Acid anyone? La Nuit is a rather unique-sounding track from the German musician Sonia Güttler, aka Sonae. Taken from her fifth album Summer (out now on LAAPS) it scratches a path from tenebrous Ambient to a surprisingly funky Acid line before a gentle wash of white noise laps ashore once again.
The whole album's a heavily textured selection of experimental works built on a glitchy, broken Techno foundation.
After a couple of listens through of the new celebratory Tresor compilation, this FJAAK track, Lovers, is a standout. Banging!
