Sydney Artist ANT ENOCH shares narou’s remix of ‘Big Party’

31 January 2025 - Grahame Farmer

Sydney-based artist ANT ENOCH kicks off 2025 with a stunning reinterpretation of his track ‘Big Party,’ enlisting Bali-based producer narou for a chill house makeover that shifts the song into a hazy, dancefloor-ready soundscape. Originally a guitar-led bedroom pop finale, narou’s remix infuses retro synthwave harmonies, crisp percussive grooves, and shimmering textures, bringing a newfound vibrancy to ENOCH’s deeply introspective lyrics.

[soundcloud url="https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/2017089071" params="color=#ff5500&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false&show_teaser=true" width="100%" height="166" iframe="true" /] Suprematic Sounds · PREMIERE: Ant Enoch — BIG PARTY (narou Remix) [Embassy Of Music]

Following the success of his debut EP ‘Big Talk Big Party’, which earned a place in Atwood Magazine’s 25 Best EPs of 2024, ENOCH continues to blur the boundaries between indie, house, and electronica. While the original track delves into contemplation and emotional vulnerability, narou’s remix heightens the track’s dramatic nostalgia, reflecting the uncertainty and self-doubt found in ENOCH’s lyrics:

“What will people think?
It was such a big party
There was laughter in the love
Were we just getting started?
Was I just killing time?
I can’t help the way that I feel”

Speaking about the remix, narou shares:

“I love how the track feels so calm and free-flowing, almost weightless. As soon as I heard it, I knew I had to create a faster, more uptempo version. The vocals captivated me instantly. I wanted the song to feel like a big party, so I crafted an uptempo beat that bursts with energy and fully opens up to set the vibe. The minimalism of the original track inspired me to keep things simple, preserving its essence without overproducing it.”

With ‘Big Party (narou Remix)’ out now via Embassy of Music, stream it now on Data Transmission and let it transport you into its hypnotic world of rhythm and nostalgia.

Ego-Free Sequences drops ‘Headshell / Relent’ on Dark Red Records

31 January 2025 - Shelley Dodds

The fifth release from Dark Red Records presents a double A-side digital offering from label owner Ego-Free Sequences, featuring ‘Headshell’ and ‘Relent’. The latter also includes vocals from Devashish, a close friend and member of the Manchester band Brigantis. Mastering on this release has been executed beautifully by Manchester’s very own Sappo.

Ego-Free Sequences has been steadily carving out a distinct presence in the underground Drum & Bass scene, known for his intricate sound design, immersive atmospheres, and genre-blurring approach. With a background rooted in experimental electronic music, his productions often fuse deep, hypnotic textures with raw, driving rhythms. His work embodies a forward-thinking ethos, balancing technical precision with emotive depth, making each release a journey rather than just a collection of tracks.

Both ‘Headshell’ and ‘Relent’ originate from the same sonic palette, sharing many of the same drum elements and patches. ‘Relent’ took shape first, built around a layered old-school acid synth patch that weaves through the mix. A continually shifting high-end filter interacts with a deep, intense sub, locking into a half-time drum pattern to create a tech-driven groove that hits with force. Devashish’s haunting mantra-like vocals are pitched up and arranged in a loose collage, adding emotional depth and a natural cadence to the unfolding narrative. Reece and hoover synths punctuate the track, injecting classic rave elements that contrast and complement the atmosphere, driving the energy forward.

[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4jic_VLX1y0?feature=oembed&w=1140&h=641]

‘Headshell’ emerges from the same foundation but takes on a subtly distinct character. The acid synth line is adjusted to bring a playful bounce to the groove, this time built around a dancehall-influenced structure, raising the energy and enhancing the dancefloor appeal. This track is all about the relentless build. Carefully placed shakers and percussive hits weave in and out of pounding, industrial-tinged drums. A dramatic orchestral hit serves as a pre-chorus moment, launching into a gnarly main section where metallic snares slide between hoovers, heightening the tension. The momentum continues to rise as additional percussion elements propel the track into a full-throttle second act, switching grooves before the breakdown and returning with full force to close.

This release further cements Ego-Free Sequences as an artist unafraid to explore the outer edges of Drum & Bass, seamlessly blending deep atmospheres with high-impact sonics. With a growing catalogue that showcases a meticulous ear for sound design and a clear passion for pushing boundaries, his productions continue to resonate with listeners who appreciate both depth and dancefloor functionality.

Today we premiere ‘HEadshell’ which you can check out below. The 2 tracker dropped today (Friday 31st January) and is available for you to get your hands on here!

Iconic London venue fabric gets a new upgraded dancefloor in Room 1

30 January 2025 - Shelley Dodds

One of London’s best venues fabric has announced the long-awaited upgrade to its legendary Room 1 BodyKinetic dancefloor, marking the final step in the Room 1 sound system overhaul. This project kicked off in 2024 as part of the massive ‘fabric25’ celebrations and continues the club’s 25-year partnership with Martin Audio. Now, Room 1 is taking things to the next level, pushing boundaries in immersive sound.

For the first time since 1999, the world’s first BodyKinetic dancefloor has had a major upgrade, completely reimagining how crowds experience sound and vibration. Working with Powersoft, fabric has introduced cutting-edge Movers—high-tech linear transducers—designed to make the music feel even more intense. The new system delivers way more power and precision, creating an ultra-immersive, haptic experience that lets dancers connect with the music on a whole new level.

“The original sound design for Room 1 featured a groundbreaking and advanced dance floor, incorporating Bodysonic transducers. These transducers resonated the floor with silent subharmonics that travelled through the body. Combined with a quadraphonic speaker setup and impeccable audio processing from the DJ booth, the system was ahead of its time. Keith Reilly and Dave Parry established themselves with the forward-thinking club design they introduced 25 years ago. Staying true to our heritage, we chose to retrofit and refine the original system rather than replace it entirely.

We knew the newly refurbished Room 1 sound system wouldn’t be complete without upgrading the floor as well. We’ve been working tirelessly to make this happen. Installation began immediately after the New Year’s Day show, with the full technical team involved and years of planning and design behind it.

Arguably unnecessary? Perhaps. But we believe it’s worth it.” Matt Smith – fabric Technical Manager

The Tech Behind It

Powersoft’s system is a game-changer, needing just 36 units instead of the 450+ transducers used in the old setup. Unlike traditional systems where copper coils move inside a magnetic field, these Movers flip the process—moving the magnet within the coils. The result? More power, better reliability, and a stronger physical connection to the music. They also use way less energy, making them a huge leap forward in tactile sound technology.

Accessibility Through Vibration

One of the most exciting parts of this upgrade is how it makes music more accessible for the Deaf community. By turning sound into vibrations, the dancefloor allows people to feel the music in a whole new way. fabric is working with Deaf Rave to fine-tune the system, making sure it delivers the best experience possible for those with hearing impairments.

Sound Meditations at fabric

The new dancefloor also sets the stage for something completely different—Mastery Quantum Sound, a series of events blending meditation and electronic music. Quantum Sound first landed at fabric in March 2024, with Daniel Avery performing an ambient live set to a crowd lying down, eyes closed, alongside an immersive sound journey from Cherub Sanson and Tim Wheater. Now, Quantum Sound is officially teaming up with fabric for a residency running from 25th February to June 2025.

Across five events, artists like Hannah Holland, Flora Yin Wong, Wata Igarashi, and Jennifer Loveless will explore the deeper side of sound, with a special guest closing the series. The final event will take things even further, mixing live music with Cherub and Tim’s sound healing expertise for a unique fusion of club culture and wellness.

Tickets are limited, so sign up now for early access. fabric and Quantum Sound will also be reserving free tickets for members of the Deaf community. CLICK HERE

The new dancefloor is now open to the public and is fully functioning in Room 1, so get yourself down to an event and check it out asap!! Check out their What’s On page here

Quicche

30 January 2025 - Dan Prince

Introduce yourself, who exactly is Quicche? Quicche is Marc. What first inspired you to become an artist? When I started making music, as a teenager, it was certainly, even if it doesn’t sound particularly romantic, just a tool to make friends – at least that’s what I hoped. As I grew older, I realised how much strength one can draw from one’s own creative work and how important it is for my own processing. So the drive has turned 180 […]
