Floorspeed brings it home to DC with its first release in 2025 from local techno standout producers, James Bangura & JR2k (Jackson Ryland). Many know Bangura from his contributions to the Black Rave Culture crew and his numerous solo releases; others have heard of Ryland under the Rush Plus and Superabundance alias duos and as label boss of Floorspeed…all those credentials culminate in a superb piece of heavy techno for FSPD002.

First up - two turbo mode collab tracks. A1’s Time Crisis captures a latent sense of urgency and pressure felt in everyday life with subtly intensifying builds throughout the track. This one’s ready for peak time exposure. Pump Fake continues with integrated elements of surprise, switching up at key moments to accelerate any dancefloor on a dime.

Flipping the record to B1, JR2k goes solo with Machine Learning, a gritty, industrial-tinged track that incorporates techno’s future-facing elements with a touch of raw power. A relentless pulse guides the track through its vast, mechanical atmosphere, designed for the late-night hours. Rain Heavy on B2 closes the EP with a hypnotic, atmospheric vibe for an absolute hands-in-the-air finish.
