Following the high-energy peak-time pulse of the Night Edition, Serialism Records continues its 18 years celebration with Before Everything Else Vol.6. The Morning Edition, the second half of a double compilation that captures the label’s full emotional and sonic spectrum.
The Morning Edition (Part 2) dives into more stripped-back, minimal, breakbeats and after-hours terrain, crafted for those intimate sunrise sets and hypnotic deep-space dancefloors.
This volume reflects the label’s soulful, heady, and more introspective identity. If the Night Edition was built for clubs and peak-time pressure, the Morning is for open-air rooftops, early morning tunnels, and sun-kissed gatherings where sound takes on a dreamlike quality.
This second half features a powerful lineup of underground artists, both veterans and rising voices, each shaping a unique moment of this sonic journey.
Vlad Arapasu delivers signature hypnotic rolls, while label founder Cesare vs Disorder & label partner Weg return with a deep minimal-breaks fusion. Fantastic Friends boss Nicolas Duvoisin crafts a pristine minimal gem, and Christian Berger (ex-Deaf Pillow) brings groovy off-kilter class with B4.
Eddy Romero teams up with young UK’s Mika for a smooth, dubby ride. Zlene, Neu club’s Stockholm regular, adds playful funk; Richard Rozen, Sousk, and Ocean Lam lace the morning air with groovy pieces with melody, warmth, and ambient textures.
Mathieu & Max Jacobson blend moody minimal techno with early light feels, while Random Voices sends a hypnotic transmission straight from Beijing. Mad Dim & Kirill Golikov add a sharp, clean minimal swing, and Botanic Soundsystem & Shade of Green ride the line between deep house and ambient.
Don’t miss Serbian standout Sloxxx with his darkly seductive Piknik Pored Puta, or Serialism’s own Rhom Omit, who closes with a dub-heavy elegant sunrise closer.
Once again, the aesthetic dimension is shaped by Fernanda Mattos, Serialism’s long-time Art Director, whose visual work has been integral to the label’s identity since day one. For Vol.6, she delivers a unique counterpart to the Night edition, lighter, dreamier, but equally bold, perfectly reflecting the atmosphere of “The Morning.”
Together, Night and Morning, these two volumes of Before Everything Else Vol.6 aren’t just a celebration of the past 18 years. A snapshot of the label’s present voice and the vibe of a global community of sound seekers, DJs, producers, and lovers of the underground.
