Search:a future

On the heels of the success of their very sought-after Edits EP
ALMA & MATER are providing their first full-on solo EP for Ancient
Future Now. And they have an urgent message they like to convey:
PLEASE DON’T INTEND TO LET YOUR INTELLECT DOMINATE YOU, freely
adapted from a quote by the one and only Susan Sontag. And
the music follows suit; no heady over-complication, instead we
get no-nonsense basslines and grooves and marimba melodies that
will surely dominate your feet.On the flip we have ADA
(Pampa, Areal)and HADE for two very different but equally charming
remixes, which perfectly complement each other.

The Vibrators were one of the original UK first-wave punk-rock groups, playing legendary shows at London's Roxy Club, and the late great BBC DJ John Peel was an early fan, recordings sessions with the group for his radio show as early as 1976. Their 1977 debut album Pure Mania is an all-time punk rock classic and one of the most immediately catchy and tough releases of its era. Featuring two great tracks off this album, the classic 1977 single "Baby Baby" b/w "Into The Future..." is reissued here on a limited edition picture disc this April.

One Of Classy Early 90's Techno Records Sees A Vinyl Re-release On In The Future. Plutobeat Is A 14 Minute Trip Which Has Not Aged One Second Throughout The Years. Back Then Live Recorded In 1 Take It Soon Became A Favourite Under The Radar Record For Djs With A Taste In More Sophisticated Techno. With The Help From Original Label Plink Plonk And Pluto Himself The Record Will Find Again Its Way To Vinyl Lovers.

In 1986 iconic group The Future Sound of London released the UK Top 40 chart album 'Dead Cities', from which came a track 'Yage'. Such has been the interest in this masterpiece of electronica over the years that the guys have been back into the studio to revisit it.

Here, on this limited edition, individually numbered LP press exclusively for 2019's Record Store Day comes the results. 'Yage 2019' takes the core of the original and rebuilds it. All together there are eleven tracks reconstructions and interpretations, woven together (as FSOL do) into a 42 minute dreamscape journey across the 2 sides of vinyl. Only 1000 copies of this release will be pressed on vinyl.

A different transmission from LDDLM

When the strange and different has become the new normal, a certain normality, well... becomes our first straight techno 12'.

Danny Passarella needs no introduction, his death squad of shoegaze warehouse ghost being of non-fading memory. D'Marc Cantu (following Perc and Oliver Ho in a serie of collabs) does not either, hero of Nation and fine purveyor of American acid.

This is pure machine music straying from the eternal revival of everything vintage. It looks forward not...

As they say it themselves:

'The Future has A Silver Lining' title comes from the advertising for a high-end utopia promised in RoboCop's 'Delta City'. The track titles inspired by ASCII codes, represent the key elements that lay ahead in the film, or in today's society.

080 = P = Privatization
067 = C = Corruption
065 = A = Authoritarianism
068 = D = Dystopia

For the third and (for the time being) final part of our remix series
we've got the two and only TUFF CITY KIDS working their magic with their extremely smooth "Eau De Remix" for Sunrom, which goes down like Kölnisch Wasser. We've got MARBOD shaving Rhytch's head in a very big and dark beauty parlor. We've got ZILLAS ON ACID living up to their name with their "Ultramodern heartbreaker mix". We've got DJ GROUND doing his very unique DJ Ground thing with his "Kofun" Remix, which translates to "ancient grave", if you were wondering. We've got happy faces. We've got pleased ears.How about you

Lisbon pals Photonz and Shcuro are two of the city's most active DJs and music makers, sharing a penchant for a moody yet electrifying brand of dance sonics. They've created Shermanworx together in the studio, recording machines live using an ethos of improvisation while relying on their fine-tuned dancefloor intuition. The Sherman Filterbank was the go-to piece of equipment, appearing in every track and eventually naming the EP.
Tribal techno swirls menacingly backed by dark melodies in the opening track, a hypnotic yet vivid peak-time belter that could go on and on.
A synth so textured you can almost touch it is the centrepiece of Sherman2, another driving club beast complete with modulated arpeggios and industrial-tinged percussions.
The record comes to close with a dreamier exercise in Sherman3: a dubby electro beat conducts melodic mutant synth lines and pads to achieve a slow-burning, expansive euphoria.

"The "Future Reference EP" see's Deepblak label head AYBEE pushing ever forward into the outliers of electronic rhythms.
Always avoiding convention "The Future Reference EP" continues to expand on the producers affinity for forward thinking dance music rooted in soul expression."

Celestial electronics are always at the heart of James Welsh's music, via a number releases for labels such as Erol Alkan's Phantasy Sound, Wolf Music and Hypercolour. 'Hammers' is Welsh's second release for Futureboogie (following 2013's 'Craven' EP), and finds the UK based producer on particular fine form.
With its airy pads and shrouded ambience, 'Hammers' drives a 303 bass line right through its centre, perfectly balancing the tracks emotive and darker sides.
Hodge (Livity Sound/Hemlock) comes on board with an industrial sized remix, carving out some heavyweight tribal drums and additional percussion and letting the acid do its tweakable thing.
'Denergy' meanwhile channels some electro tinged bassline moves over super funky, tight drums, a flourishing acid line, and laced with the futurism and sound aesthetics that's keeping James Welsh at the top of his game.

Cyberfunk proudly presents:

CFNK005:Simple Technique - Superfuture EP

Since the inception of Cyberfunk one artist in particular has really taken on the core values and ethos of the label and has been working extensively with us.

After his debut release on Cyberfunk "Cold Steppin" gained heavy rotation on the dnb circuit from some of the scenes heavyweights. We gave Bournemouth based duo Ulterior Motive a chance to remix "Cold Steppin" and released it as part of our first ever Remix EP - Remixed Vol1. This dominated the charts for several weeks in a row.

Other than the aforementioned, the West London based producer has kept mostly quite bar one release - "Gorilla" which was part of the first in a series of various artist LP's from us: VA:LP-001

This EP has been in the works for quite some time, with some parts taking in excess of 3 years! (Yes we know but he's worth the wait we promise) this is a project we have been working on closely with Freddie and although he has kept us waiting we are happy to be releasing such a diverse and unique EP from an equally diverse and unique beard, sorry... - artist! Excuse me. (You'll see what I mean...)

We feel this is the truest and purest representation of Simple Technique as an artist. With a strong mix of tempos and styles all of which have been filtered through his unique outlook on music and rave culture. From bass house to Drum and bass to hiphop and trap influences with beautiful soundscapes in-between. This EP has flavours from all over and the raw signature sound that our fans have come to expect from a Simple Technique set.

We hope you enjoy the music. <3

If you are feeling it, please let us know
If you hate the music please still let us know so we can further promo the EP.

Columbus, Ohio may not be spoken of in the same glowing terms as Detroit when it comes to '90s Techno from the Mid-West. However, the Columbus-based 21/22 Corp label was responsible for some of Future Primitive's favourite techno from this era. We've tracked down the multi-genre 'president and production manager' behind 21/22 Corp, Charles Noel, for our next release. Formed of two exclusive productions, this Archetype 12" is the essence of techno at its most individual
