Battles are quick and competitive as two players go head-to-head in attempts at destroying the team’s base. It features a cast of characters with a select set of abilities who fulfill different roles. “INSIDIA,” currently in Early Access on Steam, is a free-to-play multiplayer title developed by Italian company Bad Seed. Keep going.Despite the oversaturation of the multiplayer online battle arena genre, “INSIDIA” takes what works best in games like “League of Legends” and “Dota 2” and adds another layer of strategy, incorporating a turn-based grid system. It's not just a new generation of producers but a new paradigm of dance music, and chances are we'll be hearing a lot more of it in 2023. From Tómas Urquieta's gnarly techno to Doctor Jeep's punch-drunk junglism, no pare, sigue sigue is packed with new ideas for old genres, taking inspiration from cities and countries around Latin America rather than the usual UK-US hubs. But the similarity is spiritual rather than sonically-like the best and most inventive labels before, TraTraTrax is creating its own world, taking fragments of scenes and sounds before and turning them into a glittering new hybrid.

A Crack piece highlighted the connection, with Nick León saying that most people in the Miami scene are intimately familiar with the UK label. I'm far from the first person to make the connection between TraTraTrax and Hessle Audio. Raptor house ingenue DJ Babatr reps Venezeula with the powerful, shoulder-checking groove of "Cabo E," while Brazil's Mari Herzer touches on dubstep with the churning highlight "Solta o Grave Alucinado," and Safety Trance-the newest alias of another Venezuelan staple, Cardopusher-makes reggaeton with the emotional uplift and physical heft of trance on "Indiferencia." And for that cutting-edge Latin tribal techno sound, look no further than the steely ripple of Bitter Babe's "Nadie Lo Puede Parar," or Nick León's athletic collaboration with Luca Durán, pairing guttural vocals with icy trap touches. Perhaps the most impressive thing about the compilation is how it seems to have built up a scene that barely relies on the usual Anglophone clubbing hot spots (outside of Miami, anyway). The latter's collaboration with Sin Maldita, "Consonante Rótica," is a major highlight, mashing together glitch-hop with broken techno for a noisy banger that sounds like it would swallow up everything around it in a DJ mix. It starts with heart-palpitating tribal prog from Verraco, whose mishmash of genres sets up the ride well, and blazes through surprisingly aggressive cuts from artists like Nicola Cruz (whose "Acelera" is belligerently catchy), Dengue Dengue Dengue and Lila Tirando a Violeta, inviting these artists to try their hand at the label's hard-edged style. The music on no pare, sigue sigue ranges from reggaeton and perreo to straight up techno, and lots of wonderful liminal zones in between. It would sound like the future if it didn't sound so much like right now.
At the forefront of an international Latin club sound that sprouted in Mexico City and Miami and now connects hotspots across the world, no pare, sigue sigue is a survey of the artists who are pushing global club music into new sounds, comfort zones and tempos, led by artists like Nick León, DJ Babatr, Nicola Cruz and Lila Tirando a Violeta.
TraTraTrax, run by a trio of Colombian DJs, feels like it could be this decade's Hessle Audio, pushing trends, defining scenes and putting out the kind of tracks you hear almost every DJ play at least one point each summer.
Here was an era-defining label at the absolute top of its game taking a victory lap and showing just how creative and boundary pushing it can be. Seeing the announcement for TraTraTrax's first compilation, no pare, sigue sigue ("don't stop, keep going"), I was transported back to the feeling when Hessle Audio released their 116 & Rising collection back in 2011.
