House Vinyl New Releases - News

Staring through the mirror. Transmitting the former self. Kurt Baggaley uncovered a theme. A theme of the ages. A theme with no clear beginning, nor end. The British producer has made a monumental effort of capturing, bending the sequence, making it's frequencies audible for everyone to hear, for the select few to understand. A 13 minute manifestation that seems to be able to go on forever. Drifting away, time seems detached, reality becomes palpable and minds become entranced. Esoteric, arcane, inscrutable. This is your former self.

Moving far between audible dimensions, Nuno dos Santos has made his next move, lifting the veil of the new release on his Something Happening Somewhere. Enlisting Kurt Baggaley for this EP, with Maeve's the Drifter delivering a staggering remix of the epic opening piece called 'Former Self'. Taking the original arrangement and making it club-ready, the Drifter does exactly what's needed, and more. Being able to keep the emotive payload intact while giving it the dancefloor treatment is more than impressive. It's a triumph.

Completing the circle on the flip side is Kurt Baggaley himself with 'Far Between'. A succumbed, deep jam, again taking it's time to unveil it's true payload: a hidden arpeggio that will only be appreciated by those who take time to listen.

It's time to forget time and drift off. To transmit. To receive. Open up, let the frequencies in.

Correspondant present the vinyl sampler for their 3rd label compilation. Following in the success of the previous two entries in the series, this latest edition provides a perfect snapshot of how the relatively young label has matured over three years, with contributions from a range of artists including big names (such as Roman Flügel and Chloe), close Correspondant family (like Man Power and Red Axes), and exciting new rising talent (including Bird of Paradise and Sigward).

With eight tracks, split over two records, Compilation 03 sees curator and label owner, Jennifer Cardini, displaying an even wider musical breadth than the previous two compilation incarnations, but still represents the undefinable yet unmistakable sound which truly marks out Correspondant as unique.

Denis Sulta (AKA Hector Barbour) has announced a brand new EP for his newly minted Sulta Selects off-shoot - Silver Service. Following on from the label launch, which saw Sulta tap promising Irish producer Cromby for an EP of hard hitting house and acid peak timers, comes Silver Service 002, featuring two fresh cuts from Sulta himself.

Channeling his euphoric live sets which have taken him around the globe, lead track L & S (You Mean Everything Mix) i s a modern disco classic in waiting, a lush and swirling slow-burner layered with life-affirming pianos, funk-flavoured rhythms and off-kilter synths, whilst Awake Oh Rhion zeroes back in on Sulta's twisted and spectral signature house sound.

The new EP arrives in the middle of another busy period for Sulta. Earlier this year he contributed to Radio 1's BBC Essential mix series, last month he curated and headlined his Sulta Selects FLY Open Air festival, which was hosted within a 17th-century stately home in Edinburgh and featured an all-star cast of house and disco selectors including Orla, Jayda G, Gerd Janson and more, closely followed by a prestigious Mixmag double cover feature for their October issue.

The FireScope Records adventure goes from strength to strength with release number 8, and we are very proud to present on this label Mr Derek Carr. Established in Ireland in the early 90's Derek has released many ground breaking and classic EPS for labels such as 'For Those That Knoe', 'Revoke' & 'Why So Series'.

Born and raised in Westmeath, Ireland, Derek got an early taste for finely crafted melodic techno through compilations like Network's 'Bio-Rhythms' and Warp's 'Pioneers of the Hypnotic Groove'. Having been a fan of bands such as Kraftwerk and Depeche Mode through his formative years, Derek felt drawn to this new sound coming from Detroit.

In 2001 Derek launched his own label 'Trident Recordings' and released the 'Copper Beech e.p.' (the only release to date) a collection of deep soulful techno, it has since become something of a collector's item. Subsequent releases on 'Digital Soul' 'Headspace' 'Nice & Nasty' and 'Geek Records' further cemented Carr's place amongst a new generation of techno producers that looked to combine soul and melody with electronic dance floor grooves.

The EP entitled Distant Systems is a musical adventure for a quest for a new home land, a new planet, a new start, It is proper techno, proper melodies , beats and pads for this adventure. Derek is a master at creating thoughtful emotive and simply wonderful techno that fits in so naturally on FireScope Records

Artifice 2' 808 drums and lush pads - what a perfect start - a track like this is perfect like this .... But then ... the Baseline drops, it embeds itself into what back drop as we wait for what happens next,

Terrahawk' An otherworldly techno track. The usual elements are here but somehow they convert a story quite different to the norm

3 3 8 9' A amazing baseline in this track seems to speak as it conveys must more than just notes, the expression conjures up some strange alien dialect as real emotive strings/pads/beats wrap themselves around it

East is East' I don't know what to write about this track other than it is perfection and I wish I wrote it - Steve R

Finished in glorious marble vinyl with exclusive full colour artwork by the amazing J. Mccreadie

Bolis Pupul returns to DEEWEE with an out and out club moment. The A side brings together kosmiche, melody and disco. The B side is 'Teknow' by name and techno by nature. This one will sound massive loud. Produced by Stephen and David Dewaele at DEEWEE, Gent. Sleeve design by Ill Studio, Paris.

Clave House returns with four deep cuts. Ali Berger is The Protector.

Berlins premiere Bass Collective continue their march into history with yet another TKO vinyl from regular contributor Bridge Guy. His 4 originals are joined by an absolute hammer of Deepness from Jesse Bru who steps up to remix Psilocybin.

Bridge Guy is exploring Deeper sounds in this EP and Isopropyl opens proceedings with a trip of clattering percussion and synth work, all with a laid back slant. Deep enough for the heads but with a sound that just pulls you in.

The theme is somewhat continued in Lone Frenchman, but where the previous track takes a step to the left, The Lone Frenchman turns right and gets his rhythmic jam on. Tightening up the groove and laying the dancefloor to waste.

Psilocybin really pulls the bass and groove centre stage, bouncy and warm and with a whole load of rhythm in the boot. This one is for the turning point right in the middle of the night where things start to get a little more freaky.

Cheese on Toast, drops things back a touch. Thick tones and a more relaxing vibe perfect for losing yourself in, as the last of Bridge Guys originals rounds out a remarkably vibey EP.

Closing out the package we have Jesse Bru's storming remix of Psilocybin, easily up their with some of the best lo-fi House of the past few years. Jesse rings his own vocal work and really heats things up. Peak time killer.

Next up on Bicep's Feel My Bicep imprint is a fresh single from fellow Irishman Cromby, featuring two remixes from Electro stalwart DeFeKT and the ever-dependable Shanti Celeste.
Having held down a 6-year residency at Shine in his hometown of Belfast, Cromby now lives in Berlin where he has continued his ascent; having gone on to earn sets at Panorama Bar and Robert Johnson as well as a release on Denis Sulta's Silver Service label.
Now - he slots neatly into the FMB catalogue with 'Retribution' - a single that draws from his experience spent on the floor and behind the booth at clubs in Berlin, with it's stirring chords and frazzled drums.
DeFeKT's offers up a buoyant, 808-heavy take on the original while Shanti's 'Chill' mix omits the kicks in favour of her signature sunny synth tones.

Third Official Apparition For Matthias On His Superluminal Imprint.

Sequenced And Recorded In Berlin Using Synths Like: Acidlab Miami, Roland Juno 106, Moog Minitaur, Moog Mother, Doepfer A-100 Modular System, Roland 505 And Many More...

Having made an impact already with releases on Permanent Vacation, Hivern Discs and Young Turks, Pional delivers two cuts of outstanding quality on Cin Cin's twelfth release. 'Time Of The G's' drops a gritty bassline and perpetual chord stabs over driving drums and a lingering vocal, whilst 'Born 2 Be Wild' seductively teases with an infectious arpeggiated melody and wistful strings over 808 drum patterns.

Taking care of the other half of the release, the Brazilian DJ & producer Davis come correct after a slew of releases for Live At Robert Johnson, Endless and Connaisseur Recordings. Spiraling marimbas and 80's synthwave aesthetics dominate 'Clone Heart' as the TR-707 led rhythm packs a punch, and on 'Delusions', Davis ramps up the energy levels for a frenetic Detroit inspired jam that leans heavily on jazz chops and motor city melodies.

Multi-city based label, La Dune, comes out swinging with a five track break-beat compilation sure to make its mark. Kicking off 2019 with a blissed-out and controlled high-energy throughout, the Cassée EP sees La Dune make their first steps on to wax.
From its primitively ethereal opening track 'Goma' by DJ RN through to the charged up jungle breaks of Cassettes For Kids' 'Lil' More', the full spectrum of break-beat in its modern form is both celebrated and explored. The exciting return of Sonter on La Dune brings us 'Valmara', a steady yet thunderous room-shaker that builds to an other-worldly second half. Completing the line up, label co-founder Jacques Torrance and additional label debut Native Cruise bring their own distinct break-beat inspired euphoria to the table with the Cassée EP flexing its sonic muscles and hitting us right where it feels good. The sky is the limit for this impressive emerging imprint.

Reissue of the debut album by Detroit electro-outfit Cybotron, 'Enter', released in 1983, it is a foundational record in the evolution of electronic dance music.

Often cited as one of the forbearers of modern techno, the record is commonly cited as the only old-school electro album with major staying power, largely due to the strength of the writing ('Alleys Of Your Mind,' 'Cosmic Cars,'

'Clear') and the harmonious collision of Juan Atkins' penchant for cosmic funk production techniques and Rick Davis' arena rock sensibilities.Most recently, the Wire cited 'Clear' as a 'groundbreaking...first-generation

piece of pure machine music,' while newer listeners may recognize it as the hook from Missy Elliott's 'Lose Control' among other major hip-hop hits.

Four years ago, friends Christian Tinner and Nikolai Stolz created the music project Hack & Nick, taking the electronic music scene by storm.

DJ Nick (Nikolai Stolz) mixes the traditional sound of dulcimer player Hack (Christian Tinner) with repetitious beats iconic of the minimalist techno movement. The result of this collaboration is unprecedented and totally awesome.

Their first single "Feels Good" came out in April 2011, followed by remixes of the track one year later. In August 2012, Hack & Nick launched their own record label "Heart Attack" and released the second single "Don't Go."

After four years of live performances, the first Hack & Nick album 'Groove Pilot" is finally here for your listening pleasure. Hear for yourself!

Tartelet Records rounds out 2018 with 'Minor Forms' by Urulu, a bumping EP that winds up the label's roster of ambitious releases to celebrate its tenth year in business. The California producer and DJ has made his mark this year with a string of standout releases on Kalahari Oyster Cult, Voyage Recordings and his own Amadeus imprint, showcasing his affection for euphoric nostalgia and tight grooves. Urulu stretches out with signature key changes and an elegant hustling tempo across four tracks, reflecting the diversity of touches and influences he has become known for. On 'Minor Forms, he teases the straight and the breakbeat with elements of jungle, electro, ambient and old school, delivering a satisfyingly moody resonance amidst the dancefloor functionality. On title track 'Minor Forms', the sounds of the past and the future exist in the present. Reeling melody lines with hints of acid, dreamy pads and drops ensure that it all makes sense on the dancefloor.

'Destino Tikal' is all about the sensuous and mysterious 'Cuerpo Pulsante' mix, which suggests shimmering sex toy flickers and takes a percussive route across its insistent 4/4 bop, adding chops, keys and Vox for a big atmospheric strut of a groove. 'DRM' wraps deep and dubby minimal bleeps, rolling breaks and a straight kick into a louche swing and funk gloop, while EP-closer 'Quasimidi' starts with a breakbeat before the thump adds the backbone and the hi-hats speed up. Pads whirl and dubby chords underpin a high speed exit from 2018 into the future. Urulu follows Max Graef, Glenn Astro, Space Ghost and others in Tartelet's 10th year, celebrating the label's commitment to work across genres.

Being responsible for mothership Luise's first release and hence smoothing the way for a whole lot of pleasent memories we can look back to by now, it's that kind of re-(re!)-animation which puts our hearts to pleaseant warmths. Saddle your moped, pull up your Levi's and straighten your backs: Trays'n'Hits is the right compagnion for long lasting late-night drives, self proclaimed city slackers and mother earth's first outcome of country music you are bound to be proud of listening to.

For Shelley's on Zenn-La, Oliver Coates designs a complex of bending truths and reverse walkways to vernal states. Open ears can peer down hidden aux channel corridors, while melodic patterns present two-way mirrors to rooms of other retinal colors. An endless euphoria is just beneath the dance floorboards of Shelley's, and an inquisitiveness unencumbered by the institution of knowledge surrounding its frame and inhabitants.

Unknown Truths is the debut album from Tony Beardsley (aka Dark Strands). What can be said about this album.. for one, it is a body of work that has been crafted as a labour of love with sources of inspiration taken from the late 80's underground warehouse parties and clubs where no one speed or style of music was played.. curve balls as they say, was a good thing. Ambitious maybe.. but the only aim of the album was to actually not to have one. No one genre or concept can be applied, but this is not by design, purely accidental as the music weaves between various electronic strands and rhythm forms. Its fair to say that his music has not been compromised to follow latest trends or fashion. It is for everyone, but no one. It's only true purpose is to liberate senses and provide a lasting sonic soundtrack to the modern age.

The second installment of Argentinean record shop and label 'La Montaña Discos' includes one track of each of its founders.

Four club tracks straight from the heart of Rosario's city scene, each for a different and unique moment of a musical trip.

Ltd. to 300 copies, hand numbered.

For this third release on Dais, Drew McDowall reaches into concept, ritual, and immersion, in an exercise of unravelling the DNA of hallucination. The Third Helix is McDowall's product of deconstructive exploration, twisting the fibers of being into new structure, shape, pattern, and pulse, without reconstituting its inscribed template.

The result is a true third act,in McDowall's career, that has seen him peregrinate from the late-70s art-punk of the trio Poems to his work with Psychic TV and Coil throughout the 80s and 90s, into his current home of New York City, where he has composed with CSD, Compound Eye, as well his solo work. That triangulation is central to The Third Helix, as it begins with his dive into the existence of a sensory toolkit unique to McDowall before twisting faculties and reconfiguring consciousness by honoring inherent power, cognizant of memory yet agnostic of context.

With the tenet that journey is rarely linear, but rather an omnipresent oscillation of matter, sound is stripped to salient and primal, propelled by McDowall's boring into the core of memory and impulse, suturing together the silent awareness of excogitating experience.

Featuring eight new tracks of McDowall's dark, experimental electronics, including the opener "Rhizome", The Third Helix is a churning descent into emotion, provoking thought and reflection while carving out haunting space only to fill it with baffling and wondrous structures of layered sound. McDowall solidifies himself as an architect who transforms otherworldly materials into something fascinating and challenging in the process.

Unnerving, trancelike anthems for nervous meditation and anxious relaxation, fans of Coil will immediately connect and immerse, while the complex compositions welcome listen for drone and ambient enthusiasts.

Packaged within a thick sturdy matte sleeve jacket featuring artwork/design by artist J.S. Aurelius (Ascetic House/Marshstepper).

Tracklisting

Presenting the long sought after, groundbreaking and classic 1990 UK long-player finally remastered and reissued for 2018. London's Warriors Dance label was a unique operation and a pioneering London label during the late 80's acid house phenomena. Home to an assortment of DJs, MCs and soundmen, they went on to make their own original and indelible mark on the rave scene from the infamous 'Addis Ababa' studio on Harrow Road on the North-West side of the city.

A former reggae and soul studio that was instrumental to the output of influential artists like Soul II Soul and more, a steady diet of reggae, bass, hip-hop, house and techno kept their edgy, and die hard UK sound and style right at the cutting edge of the dance music underground across the globe with the top DJs and producers of the day celebrating the label.

The studio, helmed by label owner Tony 'Addis', acted as an incubator for artists whose names would go down in the history books - No Smoke, Bang The Party, The Addis Posse, Melancholy Man, Hollywood Beyond, The Housemaids and more all featured heavily on the label and contributed to its legendary output. The attitude and approach to the music was utterly and unapologetically a London thing, with heavy African and Caribbean influences also drawing on the sounds emanating from Chicago, Detroit and further afield.

Years later, and with the advent of the internet, Discogs, Youtube and any other digital platform you'd care to mention, Warriors Dance continues to be discovered and rediscovered again by curious diggers and music heads with a thirst for heavyweight tracks to play in their DJ sets. This saw the WD mythology rise again, making their records much sought after by fans from all over the world.

When 'International Smoke Signal' landed in 1990 there was nothing else quite like it in the musical landscape, the perfect sonic example of the Warriors Dance ethos and style incorporating all of the influences and grooves that made the label's output so unique, a sound heavily inspired by the preceding period in London and the UK where hip-hop, soul, reggae, rare groove and acid house were played side by side in the warehouses and empty spaces of former industrial areas. Throughout the late 1980's these often drab and dangerous places were transformed by local DJ crews like Soul II Soul and Shake 'N' Fingerpop with more to offer those looking for an open-minded party scene new places to explore, in turn switching people on to broader styles of music.

It's all in here, the heavy breakbeat driven B-boy house flavour of the album version of the classic 'Koro Koro', the Manu Dibango featuring tribal acid groove of 'International Smoke Signal' to the percussive and ultra-deep stylings of 'Oh Yes (Freedom)' the LP encapsulate a time and place yet continue to capture the imagination today.

Timeless music. There's no doubt the No Smoke project is a direct influence on the deeper, tribal house sounds around today and pioneered the afro house sound alongside 'Yeke Yeke', 'Motherland' etc as the acid house phenomenon swept the world. 'Koro Koro' is the omnipresent anthem which was broken at London clubs like Confusion by Bang The Party's Kid Batchelor and RIP which went on to blow up in New York, and was then signed by Profile Records. Hugely sampled and still played to this day.


'International Smoke Signal' fuses the otherworldly science of dub and reggae with Bronx breakbeats, synth laden ambient house excursions and the heartbeat of mother Africa with the technoid thrum of the motor city effortlessly, all while maintaining its London roots and swagger. A true dance music masterpiece. This is the first time the LP has been remastered and reissued, spread across 2 heavy slabs of high quality vinyl for maximum sonic impact. Made in conjunction with the Warriors Dance family and Tony Addis.

Special thanks to Nicky Trax & Tony Addis. - Remastered by Optimum Mastering, Bristol UK. Proudly distributed by Above Board distribution. 2018.

6th Borough Project's 2017 standout LP 'Find Your Rhythm' get's the remix treatment from five in demand artists. On the A side Mathias Schober flips 'Someday' from a chuggy acid number into a brooding synth laden techno stomper, whilst Lay-Far switches the DnB flavours of 'Back Where It All Began' into a breakbeat tinged house roller. The final remix on the A side is taken by Afrobad, who creates a broken beat rhythmic stepper out of title track 'Find Your Rhyhtm'.

Flip it over and Jad & The take things deep with their remix of 'Release' creating a sun kissed, blissed out version of the original. Whilst Deep Space Orchestra take the closing slot of this Fifty Fathoms Deep remix package turning 'One Way Out' from a rave leaning bass track into a hard hitting, glitched out rhythmic weapon complete with killer drum programming and a touch of the UK funky to it.

Psychic Yes and Tech Startup founder Rafael fortuitously met on a Berlin dance floor in late 2017. A long period of digital correspondence followed between Berlin and Seattle, culminating in the inaugural release of the Seattle-based Tech Startup label: TS000001. The project, to be released on November 9th, is comprised of 5 tracks built up from initial recordings of percussion, trumpet, and synthesizers honed into drum-focused dance pieces in the melancholy Berlin winter of 2018. Split in function between the two sides, Side A features dancefloor-ready tracks with Side B containing introspective songs geared towards a home-listening environment.

Field recordings of Scottish stone slates mark the opening track Stone Sound, a tribal-leaning dancefloor cut highlighted by syncopated, pounding percussion and discreet melodies. Spacemaker features organic, sparse breakbeats cloaked in bright, hazey melodies. Delicated is a track that delights as a series of melodic characters move around one another in a foggy electronic atmosphere. Aldhini Theme emerges as the standout track on Side B commencing with undulating sequenced bloops and bleeps that slowly build into a hypnotic slow-burner that resolves on a melody.

The first release on The Golden Filter's brand new label, 4GN3S (pronounced 'Agnes') is The Golden Filter 'Talk Talk Talk', along with three remixes. The original version first appeared as Dixon's closing track at the beginning of the summer. The Golden Filter channeled the artists they grew up listening to in the 80s - Siouxsie, Human League, The Glove, Talk Talk, New Order, Xymox, Lene Lovich, and Cabaret Voltaire all wrapped up into one perfect analog dance pop song, but with it's heavy beat, it completely works on the dance floor as much as in the headphones. LA's Cooper Saver (DFA, Permanent Vacation, ESP Institute) provides the dance floor fire with his absolute banger of a remix. The very first play for this was by Avalon Emerson at Coachella '18, then it went on to get rinsed all summer by Ben UFO, A^me, Dixon, Roi Perez, Moxie, Hunee, Marvin & Guy, Job Jobse, Fort Romeau, B. Traits, Solomun, and more. It's pretty much been proven impossible to stay still when the breakbeats kick in! Fantastic Twins (Hippie Dance / Optimo Music), is the guise of Julienne Dessagne, originally from Paris and now based in Berlin. She provides a tripped out rework that forays into unexpected twists and turns, but still retains her trademark analog psychedelic dancefloor vibes. Kasper Bjørke (hfn, Eskimo, Correspondant) teams up with Colder (Output) for an epic take on Talk Talk Talk, following up their collaborative EP on Throne Of Blood. Minimal and hypnotic, dubbed out vocal snippets fly in and out of a one- note entrancing bassline in this strung out 10-plus minute remix.

The First Time You Didn't Feel It. Why Is It Like This Time Passes And As The Low October Sun Reappears Behind The High-rise It Blinds You And Burns Your Legs. The Sun Is Your Spotlight, And This Is Your Moment. You Feel Exposed And Slightly Uncomfortable. The Moment Passes. You Bask In The Glory Of Volt.ctrl (right Now).

"Recorded in St. Petersburg over the course of 2015, this first release on Glasgow based imprint 12th Isle is a collaborative effort between Dices & - (aka Flaty/Dada Ques), affiliates of the Udacha and Gost Zvuk record labels. Titled '' (Thoughtstream), the LP eschews trend in favour of meaningful sonic discovery, and in doing so offers as much to the adventurous DJ as it does the attentive home listener.

Side A encompasses ambient synth textures reminiscent of '70s-era library music, established upon rhythms that evoke turn of the century Detroit house. At once melancholic and playfully optimistic, the six tracks range from rhythmic experiments to sketch-like beatless vignettes. The flip side sets off in a slightly darker tone that is succeeded with pace and persistence in the drum patterns and winding arpeggiated bassline of Caleidoscope'. Alongside the heavily swung Hologram', these tracks are very club considerate, a function that in no way offsets the records assured narrative purpose.

Across both A and B the music maintains this singular intent, channelling aspects of early sequence-based electronics and vintage space rock around a diverse and playful compendium of rhythms.

For the first album on brokntoys, Rory McPike (Rings Around Saturn, Bleekman, 2200, Pickleman) puts the hammer down with a double pack of abstract and dancefloor excursions.

Oozing style, the Melbourne producer showcases a singular talent over 11 tracks, bridging frazzled new wave & pulsating techno via claustrophobic electronics.

Equally at home dragging bodies on to the floor (classy IDM-nodder 'Automatic Memory') as keeping them throbbing till sunrise (early-morning highlight 'Pulp Tech'), BT30 deftly connects the varied threads laid out by McPike over his previous EPs for Forbidden Planet, Unthank & Analogue Attic.

Crucially never feeling strained during its steps through styles, there's plenty here for the DJs and herbally-minded home-listening enthusiasts alike. One to sink into... 300 copies.

Banoffee Pies Records release their 8th addition to the original imprint with 4 drum ridden tracks from Bristol local Gallegos with his debut solo EP, 'Mad As Hell'. As the leaders pull us towards the abyss, behind the door through which we cannot see. Into a landscape we cannot predict. Inside the realm of those we cannot control. We shout from the rooftops. This is as 'Mad As Hell' and i'm not going to take it anymore. As the days and months roll on, the media repeats, the calendar clicks, and the unknown future drags itself ever closer, we question why we are here. Maybe after all it is time to move forward, the next destination, to find our 'Beach Feet'. To swim against the current and paddle away. To find firmer ground. To 'Be Who You Want To Be'. Tick tick goes the clock, pressure mounts. After all. Times are hard. 'England Is A Bitch.' BP x

Optimo Trax 30 celebrates a double 30 year anniversary: the original release date of Rejekto' and 30 years since Twitch started dj'ing. In 1987, Twitch, who wasn't known as Twitch yet, picked up a copy of Rejekto' at Glasgow's then numero uno import shop, 23rd Precinct. He was smitten.

Shortly after that he got his first ever dj gig and played Rejekto' in his first ever dj set. Nobody danced to it. He kept playing it and still nobody danced to it. Eventually he gave up playing it, but never stopped loving it.

A few years ago he felt the time was right to try playing it again, and this time, people danced to it. In fact, people loved it and would ask about it and shriek in delight when they heard it. There is often a lot of false nostalgia talked about in dance music and how it was better back in the day'. Well, in some ways it was but in many it wasn't, and 30 years later it feels as if perhaps ears are more open, or perhaps Rejekto' was just ahead of its time

From Germany, written and produced by Ra-Hen and Talla 2XLC, Robotiko Reject's Rejekto' was the inaugural release on the Techno Drome International label. With a powerful and seductive vocal sung in Romanian it has latterly been categorised as EBM/Techno but at the time didn't really fit into any convenient genre. Twitch called it electrobeat.

To celebrate this 30th release on Optimo Trax, the 12' comes in a
special sleeve designed by Katie Shambles and Andrew Beltran. As well as featuring the original classic Perfekto' and U.S. Dub' versions, this reissue features a slo-mo cover version by long-time Twitch friend and ally, the mysterious Frenchbloke who was the only other person he knew back then who also loved this wonderful record. Robotiko!

The return of Rome based ACEW label with 2 tracks involved in minimalist, electro with an IDM touch. Vocals from Carl Finlow.

As one of NYC's most innovative individuals, Incienso are happy to announce Kiki Kudo's debut full length EP 'Splashing'. Operating seamlessly between the mediums of music, food and general vibes, her new release follows up the 'Mineral Sequences' mixtape on Good Morning Tapes, plus a track on Physical Therapy's allergy season compilation 'Physically Sick Vol 2'.

After starting music production just last year with one sole piece of hardware (but DJing in NYC years before), these are some of the wildest songs in time. A self-described mix of 'Nanotech Pop, Synth Jams, Kitchen Wave, and Listening Techno' - somewhere between the experimentalism and anything-goes ethos of the downtown scene, the out-there exploration of City Pop, and a world all of her own.

Following their previous Mantra EP, Polybius Trax present here another three track EP from Mantra showcasing a variety of acid styles. Opening track, Blackout, is a solid, no-nonsense acid techno workout, perfect for a strobe filled warehouse, and features builds and drops layered with ethereal tones. Emanation is a maelstrom of moving synth sounds, bouncing delay lines and vocal-like klaxons that combine to disorientate the listener. Final track, Mirage is a classic bad attitude acid track with an unnerving acid line that weaves in and out of aggressive percussive lines.
