Two years after his Apron Records debut in 2017, Molinaro makes a poignant return to Steve’s forward-facing label. What The Future Was is both an ode to personal growth and a reminder of the responsibility to keep the tradition of musical trailblazers alive.What The Future Was is the result of 10+ years spent honing his craft and home studio into his finest, most progressive work to date. Fans of his APRON35 debut will find home in the rugged, cosmic ruckus of “EMBER”, “PURITY” and “THE PNEUMA”. Elsewhere, tracks like “AEVEA FOREST”, “ENTITY” and “HER THEME” expose a more vulnerable and tender side to his growing palette of sound and feeling.In a world where online personalities and reach are increasingly glorified more than actual skill, hard work and talent, Molinaro has constructed an alternative, sonic utopia where soulful, groove-based music is the antidote.

The next chapter in the Bristol Normcore saga is here !Following up that killerrrrrrr Katatonic Silentio record from last year, her productions now get the action-response with a slew of hardcore remixes from none other than – Our nearest and dearest: Kinlaw & Franco Franco, as well as top crew ZULI, Stenny, Walton and Herva – each bringing a proper oblique twist & turn to the original cuts, adding more flames to the burning embers of ‘Prisoner Of Self’. Industrial soundsystem weight, and cyberpunk riddims galore – proper energised gear, just what’s needed right now in these cold winter months.Served up in another mad-mad DIY sleeve – 200 copies only, each one locked in a cage, then vacuum-sealed for xtra measure, and served up with insert art.

Old school house vibes with some jazzy/fusion touches, so expect some Larry Heard style vibes over punchy, old school style 808 beats!The third release sees the prolific multi-instrumentalist, DJ and producer, Tenderlonious make his debut on DAM with a brand new collection of studio productions. The 4 track EP is inspired by the iconic Roland TR-808. Classic analog beats and twisted synth lines lay the foundations for dark, sci-fi inspired soundscapes that are dragged into dance floor territory by 808 drum patterns, jazzed out synth solos and sub-shaking bass hooks.
