Property and si’nedd are both stalwarts of the thriving east Netherlands scene. Through a close-knit network of DIY and free parties, the area has become synonymous with hurtling kick drums and hypnotic sensibilities, with the Dutch pair’s sonic identities cultivated through intimate, late-night sessions in off-grid dancefloors.

‍

Genesis taps into this heady vernacular, delivering ten tracks of ecstatic meditation with polyrhythmic decoupage and peak-time tempos. Each track offers a fresh perspective on this emerging sound, shaped by diverse influences. Released through Oracle Bones, the album embodies a mystical quality that resonates with the label’s ethos. Headed by fellow Dutchman and underground stalwart JEANS, Oracle Bones draws inspiration from the 'I Ching,' a classical Chinese text from the Zhou Dynasty. This connection to ancient wisdom infuses the label’s work with a blend of timeless insight and modern creativity, opening gateways to the unknown depths of sound.

‍

Noxa, Minimal Collective’s pick is a glitch-infused scramble of their high-voltage hypnosis. Alarm bells ring throughout, while a rolling kick cuts through the ensuing hysteria. The result is a peak-time tool fit for both intimate and expansive settings.
