“ Hyperphantasia is: Unhinged, unrestrained, self-indulgent bat-shit pop music from an alternate dimension. A beautiful, synthetic hall of mirrors head rush… Like taking every style I’ve worked with amping them up to 11 and firing them off a cliff” ?- Lone

Enter the kaleidoscopic world of Lone – returning to Greco-Roman for his first album in five years, ‘Hyperphantasia’. An artist who has been soundtracking dancefloors since the early 2000s, Lone (real name Matt Cutler) made his production debut in 2008 with “Lemurian”, a hip-hop inspired release before moving into the vibrant future-facing soundscapes we have come to know.

His back catalogue ranges through house, rave, ambient and electronica, and on ‘Hyperphantasia’, Cutler sets himself the challenge to bring all of those influences together for one body of work that he describes ‘like an album in my mind’.

Referring back to the album title, the definition of hyperphantasia is a condition characterized by exceptionally vivid and detailed mental imagery and for this album he tested himself to see how close he could get the music to sound exactly like what he was hearing in his imagination. ??

On Hyperphantasia, Lone deepens his relationship with vocals. Having previously relied on vocal samples or more abstract live vocal treatments, this latest album marks a shift toward richer, more pop-leaning sensibilities. Cutler makes a clear lyrical statement, enlisting a diverse and carefully chosen cast of collaborators: London-based artists and fellow Greco-Roman affiliates Ell Murphy and Lou Hayter, Barcelona’s breakthrough singer Bikôkô, cult Nottingham rapper Juga-Naut, and Hong Kong-born, London-based musician Merry Lamb Lamb. Together, they contribute to what stands as a career-defining project.

The end result is a cinematic experience exploding full of colour. You are introduced to the album with an old school rave anthem ‘Life Spark’ and an interlude welcoming you into this musical world. Like chapters in a novel, the album ebbs and flows beautifully between stripped-back melodies ‘Opening A Portal’, ‘Photographs That Don’t Exist’, ‘Sickly, Sweetly, Summer Movie’ and ‘Fruit Rots, Water Floats Downstream’, bubbling feel-good house ‘Affinity (Cloud Four Four Mix)’, ‘Triton’ and ‘ Wemove’, the rap-influenced ‘Throw The Ember’ and epic future-pop tracks ‘Miracle Mile’, ‘Big World’, ‘Scattergun’ and ‘Home’. The album ends with a full circle moment, back to the early hardcore and jungle rave scene, on ‘Ascenscion.png’.

Extremely happy to announce our next party on the 25th of this month with Nikki Guild! Nikki has been gracing clubs all across the city of late. An open decks social alumni and organiser, her sets caught the attention of the always brilliant Epika collective, earning her a residency in the soft room where she’s fast becoming known for her love of deep, soulful house.

Expect murky wobbles, funky slaps and a bit of disco thrown in for good measure. Nikki Guild makes her Haptic debut 25 June, see you there 🙂

Makk are a Yorkshire based cinematic alt folk band creating immersive, emotionally charged music that moves between fragile intimacy and widescreen intensity.

Formed around the songwriting of David Mills McEvoy, the band operates as a tightly woven collective. David’s finger picked guitar and understated vocal delivery sit at the centre, but the sound expands through the distinctive interplay of Harry Stobart’s dynamic percussion, David Bullock’s ambient bass textures, Dexter Duffy Howard’s expressive violin phrasing, and Lilla Hall’s synth and keys work which adds depth, atmosphere and subtle tension throughout.

Together Makk build songs patiently. Acoustic foundations give way to swelling strings, modular textures and carefully shaped dynamics, creating arrangements that feel less like traditional folk songs and more like unfolding scenes.

Their EP Overlook explores memory, isolation and emotional recursion, with each member shaping the sonic landscape as much as the narrative. On record the music breathes, live it expands, shifting from near silence to engulfing full band moments that hold rooms completely still.

With sold out headline shows across Yorkshire and growing national momentum, Makk are establishing themselves not as a solo artist with backing musicians, but as a band defined by atmosphere, restraint and collective intent.

Our most popular new event series is back for a special, intimate edition in Cowgate’s sweatbox on Midsommar’s Eve.

To mark the traditionally observed date of Midsommar, expect themes of liminality, seasonal euphoria, fever-dream energy and solstice rituals reimagined. suspended between endless daylight and total sensory overload. The longest days of the year deserve the shortest attention spans. A descent into magick delirium before summer peaks and reality resumes.

Jan’s launch party was an experiment to test the waters for emerging and underrepresented genres in the Scottish nightlife scene. Going in with no expectations, yous gave us an overwhelming response and sold out with 6x the capacity we’ll be running for Club2K XS.

DMs been lit up with requests so we’re buzzing to finally announce its latest incarnation for what’s fast becoming a certified hood classic

Club2K is a safe haven for the maximalist massif. Post-luxury nightmode couture in the form of hyperpop, scenecore and soundcloud esoteria. heartbreak euphoria from the hedi slimane generatio?

A tumblrcore refuge for those who remember indie sleaze before it was commodified and repackaged for the algorithm. Expect Crystal Castles, Fakemink, Snow Strippers, Yung Lean and the future sounds of genres yet to be named

A neon implosion of every scene that refused to die. future-noise to cut thru collective burnout. Aesthetic necromancy for terminally online
