Playground Records is excited to unveil our 70th main catalogue release: a deep, mystical house EP called Hip Hip from Argentinian producer SidiRum. Rooted in electronic rhythm yet infused with organic textures and subtle psychedelia, the two originals on this record carve out an immersive space between the body and the mind. Earthy percussion, warm grooves and enigmatic sonic details create a natural flow, inviting both dance-floor immersion and introspective listening.
To complete the journey, Thomass Jackson - trusted family and fellow explorer - delivers a remix driven by a bold, groovy bassline that refracts the EP's core into a darker, more hypnotic realm, pulling at the threads of house with raw flair. The result is a cohesive yet unpredictable trip: three distinct visions woven into one release that feels both alive and timeless.

Heidenreich & Ludviq team up for the next release on Play Pal, with a 7 tracker.
The title track, 'Erebus', which also includes an instrumental version, enlists the vocal talent of Cali Burton, rattle snake percussion, new wave guitars and hypnosis inducing atmospherics.
'Gottata' is a more heads down affair with modular bleeps and bit-crushed squelches, bent through trippy delays- all melding together into a groove destined to grab you and pull you deeper into it.
'No Sentimental', slows the pace, ramps up the drama. Heidenreich & Ludviq lean into the timbales, the congas and into the tension, which courses through its veins.
Thomass Jackson takes Erebus and restructures and remodels it into a meaty slab of psychedelic mutant disco that struts, swaggers and confidently walks the edges of the erratic and the erotic.
Meanwhile, Play Pal mainstays, Motel 77 rewire 'Gotatta', turning it into in a deeper, dubbier, acid laden track that builds and builds.
Señora’s take on 'No Sentimental' straddles the line between melody and dissonance with a euphoric breakdown and analogue arpeggios.

Side Up Works presents SUW044, featuring Local Suicide & Nick Hanzo with their track “Taksim” — a deep electro cut built on restrained groove, psychedelic layers and melodic phrases inspired by eastern traditions.
Distorted vocals bring ritualistic energy and emotional depth, while acid lines unfold in a hypnotic progression, maintaining a persistent tension that never fully resolves.
Djedjotronic’s remix pushes the track into a sharper, industrial dimension—metallic percussion, gritty basslines and a more frontal structure made for high-intensity moments on the dance floor.
A textured and intentional release, designed to resonate deeply wherever it’s played.

DayVentura anticipates his debut EP on Slow Motion with “Fashion District”.
Wrong Era affiliate and Italo, Electro icon Leona Jacewska, joins DayVentura in this driving collaboration dripping in infectious sleaze. His signature percussion rides through with Leona’s enigmatic synths and commanding vocals.
Marta Paradise joins this explosive release with their arcane, simmering ‘Midnite Compulsion Dub’. Keeping the augmented synths at the forefront, they swim in the murkier depths of the track, building upon the vocals of the original, letting instrumentation brood with their glistening Italo class.
