out now: Ferdinger – Easy Warmth & Quiet Menace EP [Life In Patterns]

Artist:
Ferdinger

Title:
Easy Warmth & Quiet Menace EP

Label:
Life In Patterns

Cat#:
LIP020

Release Date:
13th November 2026

Format:
vinyl, download & streaming

Tracklist:
01.
Tears Will Dry

Back At It

03.
Front Toward Enemy

04.
Ruminations

05.
Fresh Impetus

Press Info:
Life In Patterns marks its 20th release with an EP from label head Ferdinger himself, arriving alongside an overhauled visual design for the label. Easy Warmth & Quiet Menace sees him move into darker, more textured territory without losing his signature relentless drive.

From the sombre melodies of Tears Will Dry and the distorted, haunting synths of Back At It to the analogue modular textures of Front Toward Enemy and the gritty dub stabs of Ruminations, the EP covers a lot of ground across its moods. Closing track Fresh Impetus ends things on a different note, with a driving old-school electro groove.

out now: Estella Boersma – Seeker EP [CLR]

Artist:
Estella Boersma

Title:
Seeker EP

Label:
CLR

Cat#:
CLR145

Release Date:
16th October 2026

Format:
download & streaming

Tracklist:
01.
Seeker

02.
Descend

03.
Submerged

Press Info:
Dutch DJ and producer Estella Boersma lands on CLR with the ‘Seeker’ EP, arriving 16th October 2026. The Berlin-based artist debuted on the scene in 2021, running her own EB-REX imprint while landing on esteemed labels like Unknown To The Unknown’s Dance Trax and performing at the likes of Glastonbury and Time Warp.

Estella Boersma’s ‘Seeker’ EP opens with the title track, blending rock-solid, rolling kicks with deft synth accents that ride the groove. An all-consuming bassline swallows the groove from below and will cocoon the dance floor as the percussion gets jacked and subtle rave whistles cut through the mix. ‘Descend’ is harder and heavier, with syncopated swing and pulsing synths that all serve to work dancers into a sweat. Twisted metal and clanking hits all add to the grit and grime of the ferocious groove. Finally, ‘Submerged’ brings a brighter synth backdrop that entrances as its muscular drums march on. There is a sense of celestial futurism to this one that takes you away from planet Earth and up amongst the stars.

Founded by influential Techno lynchpin Chris Liebing in 1999 and reemerging in 2021 after a five-year hiatus, Create Learn Repeat (CLR) has hosted a range of artists like DJ Dextro, Shlomi Aber, Risa Taniguchi, Truncate, and more, while also focusing on developing newer acts in the scene such as The Southern and Klint.

Press Info:
This is an exclusive Bandcamp only release bringing together four superb remixes from Oliver Way’s ‘From The Shadows’ album and THE only place you can buy it on vinyl. Included are remixes from Detroit Techno legend Robert Hood, UK electronica dons Plaid, Chicago House king-pin Aphrohead (aka Felix da Housecat) and France’s mighty Scan X. Vinyl is strictly limited to 75 copies and this is the only time you can get your hands on a physical copy of any of these remixes. Once they are gone, they’re gone.

Note: the vinyl was exclusively available via EPM’s bandcamp. The digital version can be found via several services – unfortunately it is named “Stained Glass Shadows (Remixes)” like EPM066. The release itself is a compilation of remixes previously out on several singles from the album “From The Shadows”.
