Shervin Labani unveils four-track ONDERONS05 EP of dub-leaning minimal grooves

Shervin Labani has released ONDERONS05, a four-track EP on Onderons Records that leans into minimal, deep and dub-tinged textures while prioritizing micro-timing and restraint. "Release details: ONDERONS05 is an EP by Shervin Labani released February 2, 2026 on Onderons Records (Brussels)." The record arrives digital-only with catalogue number OND05 and is presented as a compact statement aimed at selectors and listeners who favour slow-building grooves.

Label copy on the SoundCloud post frames the project plainly: "We’re pleased to add another artist to our repertoire. Belgian producer of Iranian descent, 𝗦𝗵𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗶𝗻 𝗟𝗮𝗯𝗮𝗻𝗶 delivers four originals, exploring minimal, deep, and dub-leaning music shaped by restraint, micro-timing, and a slow-burning approach." The release was mastered by François "Kompo" Gelbgras, which gives the low end the kind of polish that plays well on club systems and headphone listening alike.

The EP opens with "Rica." "Opening track 𝗥𝗶𝗰𝗮 sets the tone with an effective, dark, techno-leaning dancefloor cut." That premiere was highlighted by Verzila, which ran a premiere for the track and helped circulate the opening cut to DJs and editors. Track two, "Speak Volumes," takes a different tack: "𝗦𝗽𝗲𝗮𝗸 𝗩𝗼𝗹𝘂𝗺𝗲𝘀 shifts into a more playful space, pairing deep chords with a heavy, saturated bass pulse." "Club Der V," the third track, channels club memory and minimal spatiality: "Inspired by the iconic Berlin fixture, 𝗖𝗹𝘂𝗯 𝗗𝗲𝗿 𝗩 unfolds through dreamy pads and a stripped-back, minimalist sensibility." The EP closes with "Flume": "Shervin rounds off this EP with 𝗙𝗹𝘂𝗺𝗲, a deep, rhythmic, and hypnotic atmosphere." Instagram metadata for the release reiterates the closing track and supplies the release format and catalogue line: "Shervin rounds off this EP with Flume, a deep, rhythmic, and hypnotic atmosphere. Label: Onderons Records Cat: OND05 Format: Digital Country:"

Listeners and peers offered quick, concise responses in the release thread. Tweestrijd wrote, "Yes! Go go go!" and Onderons Records reacted with "♡" in the embedded post. The SoundCloud embed in some contexts exposed platform notices such as "You need to enable JavaScript to use SoundCloud," which affected playback for a minority of viewers during the premiere push.

One source copy in the original report cut off mid-sentence: "The label describes the record as dark, tec" — the fragment is preserved here rather than completed, while the SoundCloud descriptions supply the clearer track-level "techno-leaning" language for "Rica."

For DJs, selectors and home listeners, ONDERONS05 supplies four compact tools for set-building: a darker opener, a bass-forward groover, a dreamy minimal interlude, and a hypnotic close. The release is available digitally via Onderons Records and on SoundCloud; cue these tracks into long mixes or late-night segments where micro-timing and restrained arrangements do the heavy lifting.
