Illegal Alien next catalog number IARLTD006 belongs to Italian artist and Illegal Alien member, Mari Mattham. Instinct is the name of his brand new work and includes three remixes by Xhin, Fabrizio Lapiana and Iori, all of them providing outstanding
interpretations of Instinct.

Gynoid Audio label is back on wax after a long summer break with this latest offering from Swedish producer Mikael Jonasson. The A-side kicks off with "Fata Morgana" which is without doubt a techno rave weapon of the highest proportions. On remix duty here is Marco Bailey with hard-driven, pounding techno tool, while the flip side belongs to Flug who delivers not one but two brilliant remixes of the title track. Firstly is the deeper, rawer, more hypnotic mix, followed by a more spacious, clubby, acid-techno version.

Already gaining support from Cari Lekebusch, Truncate, Len Faki, Keith Carnal, Advanced Human, Gary Beck, Sam Paganini, Rraph, Noaria, Drumcomplex, DJ Hyperactive, Jeff Rushin, Coeter, Yokushe, Chris Liebing

The next EP on CCDC comes from Owen Ni. The 19 year old from Alabama shows up with some deep
tunes that ride the line between house and techno in his EP entitled Studies'.

A1: Adolescence - Chunky percussion begins the experience quickly followed by morphing chord
stabs that give of a bright feeling of energy. The percussion changes as the stabs make up the
headlining space, later a vox chords come in to help fill out the tune. Meanwhile a pulsating bass line
is riding so subtly in the underneath the brightness.

A2: Running By The Beat - Deep chord flow while the kick drum slowly appears to establish the
groove. A voice is heard meanwhile the baseline is pulsating. Minimal percussion is heard, yet really
it on the slow build until the entire groove is established

B1: Running By The Beat (Whim-ee Remix) - Whim-EE decides to take it into straight beating
territory. The tempo picks up as the distorted kick drum wangs the woofers. Percussion comes in
slowly, and an acid line takes up the main attention of the track. The vocals are in audible, however it
fits the feel of the idea. Sparse elements continue to make surprise appearances, as the chords are re-
freaked.

B2: Studies - Swirling chords scrape through the air showcases Owen's emotions. In beat down mode,
the percussion comes in slowly to establish a groove. The percussion is low and really for those
heads that like to rock those slower hypnotic waveforms.

Rudder & Kresy join the Roots For Bloom camp with a cocktail of deep house cuts. The title track Stateless is emotional and grooving, with the likes of Maya Jane Coles picking up on it immediately. Its a track that has the ability to transport the listener elsewhere. To complete the A side Boulevard hits hard with an analogue baseline, pads and vocal swirls to induce a closed eyes, head down groove. Holdin On is everything dreamy and uplifting you need, with lush chords and vocal stabs with strings washing over throughout. Release myself sits more in line with the warm up hours or daytime drinks in the sunshine vibe. This EP covers a full spectrum and will cover many bases in a DJ arsenal.

For its second release, the French record label is delivering 4 house traxx from its founders Real J & Jus Jam (aka Jam For Real), Kerstone and a guest : Evolve. As always, the vinyl comes with a strong themed artwork with a hand drawn palm tree on the label.

For their next release, Moon Harbour welcome a new artist to the family in the form of Athens based Greek producer, Vangelis Kostoxenakis.

Kostoxenakis has made waves with his productions on Snatch!, Suara and Kling Klong, all under an array of aliases. Something of a perfectionist, his formal studies of sound design and music technology have allowed him to conjure his own unique takes on tech house. He also runs his own label Talk of the Town, and here proves he is not one to follow trends.

Opening his account is the perfectly driving Dig It', which powers along with rock solid kicks as the muffled chatter of a party atmosphere is off in the distance. Filters, fills and razor sharp hi hats all pepper the groove and a real raw energy pervades throughout. The excellent 'Hip It' then looks to classic US garage for a bit of sweet swing style, with air raid sirens going off and amping up the energy to rave-y levels.

The freaky 'Get High' is a busy brew of drilling synth stabs, police sirens and punchy kicks. Rolling snares, skewed chords and clipped vox all get sprinkled into the mix and mean this one is restless and energetic, keeping you on your toes throughout. Last but not least, 'Jack Attack' is an airy tech groove with cosmic keys raining down between thundering stabs as a vocal encourages you to jack. It's stuffed with ideas and slick by design.

Inventive, off kilter and filled with real world samples, these are playful, high functioning tracks that hit the mark each and every time.

More quality music coming from Argentina this time is Yanee and Alan Castro!

Incl. Remixes by Alexi Delano & Dema

Freak In Records Label Head Frank Valon (Italo Business, Frequenza) and Treibjagd Records mastermind Fleischer got their acts well together for the timelessly sullen, yet darkly energetic - Sad Song . Thus the title, we feel no reason to disrespect a certain autumn and winter vibe when sadness comes in the form of such beauty!

There's strength in letting go, as many philosophies tell you, and they are right. You can absolutely let go to this one...

Fall deep into the cushions of the warm and well-rounded Original mix, blending the iconic and soothingly soulful vocal with dubby aesthetics and an arrangement that soon makes this track a real song in your memory.

Or float in space, where US deep techno lover Alexi Delano (Drumcode, Plus 8) transcends this track to. With even more glimmering synths and pads he keeps the vibe of the original yet, but adds a lil' extra light to the whole topic!

Italian Producer Dema (Sci-Tec, Trapez) focusses on the classic, low-slung Dub chords for his remix. And lifts you up with a certain extra shuffle on the beat.

Stacey Pullen, Marco Carola, Oscar Aguilera, Gel Abril, Valente, De la swing, Paco Osuna, D.Diggler, Franksen, Sisko Elektrofanatik, JP Chronic, Mental X, Alexi Delano, NOAH, Loui Fernandez, Nihil Young, Simon Ricci, Javier Benitez, Matt Handy, Lady Rose, Erefaan Pearce

On the occasion of its third release, LumièresLaNuit and TONESERIES co-founder, Edouard, is glad to welcome back Brussels-

Ground Tactics is devoted to reaching new music horizons and emotions through an experiment including structures and
harmonies. This experiment occasionally results in contrasts and uncommon pathways as demonstrated in his The Return EP.

proposes on his The Return EP (ADG003) a more Techno-side of his work: linear, straightforward and effective.

An Der Grenze brings together Techno music and photography in order to take you somewhere between heavens and oceans.

AdMaiora continues his unstoppable journey searching for the finest techno and tech house. To celebrate our 16th release we will mainly focus on the techno world with an exclusive EP from Tuscany born Marco Effe with Amsterdam based 2000 and One on the remix side.

Marco has being pushed to the big audience by Sven Vath in 2012, when he released on Cocoon his most famous track 'Jellied Eels'. In the last couple of years he didn't stop producing music with releases on labels such as Etruria Beat, On Edge Society and SCI+TEC to name a few.

In his debut EP on AdMaiora he smashes with two original techno destroyers. 'Basewax' is an heads down bigroom techno cut to set on fire any dancefloor with a nice combination of regular techno drums and Detroit inspired synths. The second track called 'Rawhere' is another distinctive raw gem which marks Marco as one of the most genuine talent in the techno scene: massive pad shots, rhythmic toms and delayed synths make of this one the next must-have for the summer.

On the remix duties we are more than excited to see the Dutch man himself 2000 and One. The '100% Pure' and 'Area Remote' boss makes of 'Rawhere' an explosive 909 killer remix, exploiting all his experience as a producer. The things go straight and hard without a break until new pads and bassline kick in to twist all the things done before.

BLK DRP is back. This time Michael Klein invited Eduardo de la Calle and TWR72 to support the #2 of his label. Deep groovers and strong smashers in here.

Up first this time round though Neg pairs with Spinetti and Tommy All for title-track 'Twenty Euros For Dancing' a smoothly evolving slice of house fuelled by dusty drums, choppy disco licks and an amalgamation of vocal murmurs. Neg joins Pech for 'Back From Hollanda' next, laying focus on jazz tinged bass lines, fluttering wind instruments and loose organic percussion. Opening the flip is 'Hellon Sun' from Neg and Tommy All, retaining a similar musicality and jazz influence via melodious Rhodes and multi-layered synth lines alongide an infectious sub bass and shuffled rhythms. 'I Trust A Stranger' then rounds out the package, courtesy of Neg and Spinetti, taking a more stripped-back approach this time round with rumbling low-end, minute percussion and bright piano sequences.

The latest in GYNLTD vinyl series is this superb brand new EP from Sydney's DJ Hi-Shock under his Advanced Human guise. 'Kilimanjaro' is a hypnotic journey of filtered synth stabs, driving rhythms and pulsating basslines that will appease fans of proper techno.
