UK based label Comma Traxx introducing themselves to the underground House scene with their debut V/A release. Showcasing four exciting and fresh artists, with diverse and individual styles collaborating together for an EP that represents the next wave in producers sprouting up from across the country.

Mehlor's "In Detroit" demonstrates the artists deep and delightfully danceable grooves that roll on from each section to the next. Infectious and unique sounds that are sure to have the dance floor bouncing into a trip out of space.

Jake Flory delivers "Try This" a dystopian, deep and dark roller that is sure to have heads nodding and feet stomping. Robotic soundscapes and mind altering atmospheres bring the track into its own realm of individuality representative of Flory's distinctive style.

Matt Will's welcomes the B-side into an instant banger of a tune with "Timepiece". Combining beat heavy basslines and progressively euphoric pads, the track takes you into a world of its own, right from the first kick drum.

S.onn brings the EP to a close with the continuously bouncy but never boring "B Baby". A track that rolls its bassline before us all, taking us on a positively groovy and persistently party fuelled production.

The echoes come from far, far away as an ethereal sax marks the path towards bubbly promises of a good time. It is, dear friends, the sound of Indigo Raw breaking the silence. (That's right, it's been three years. Far from uneventful, the hiatus has seen the boys turn the IR name into a synonym of quality music and attention to detail through a series of wildly successful events. Now, the record label wheels are back in motion and Indigo Raw is, true to form, coming back with one massive bang. ) World, meet Residual. Brought to you by the Berlin-based power duo known as DeWalta & Shannon, this one's coming at you in three parts: a very special puzzle we're excited to be putting together. Continuing to refine the special marriage of smooth grooves and fat beats that has so quickly come to define them, DeWalta & Shannon have delivered eight distinct peeks into an electrifying creative process that run the gamut from deep and moody to minimal or, dare we say, jazzy. Split into two vinyl releases and a third, comprehensive digital drop, Residual appears first as a playful introduction to the lay of the land, complete with a mean-ass modular monster aptly named Jugular Dub that could belong to no one else but these two. The second installment brings us the old-school banger begging for a big room, Miss Wrench, followed by a deconstructed jam session on the moon and rounded out by the sonar-bleeping Duality.

One of the most beautiful albums of this decade gets a re-issue on 2-vinyl in 2014 the Swedish duo Gidge released their debut: Autumn Bells.

The very beginning of I Fell in Love are the most passionate and emotional couple of notes i have heard.

An incredibly organic listen from start to finish, 'Autumn Bells' is the season's distilled feeling put in song. Gidge successfully captures microscopic moments of decay and beauty within the framework of pop and ambient-inflected techno.

An utterly captivating piece of work. Each new listen only enriches the songs.

One of the finest, most enjoyable electronic albums I have heard in recent times. Every sound is so well thought out and sculpted, some seriously head-tingling music.

With his new album, Year Of The Living Dead, Vienna-born and LA-based producer John Tejada finds a blissful extended moment of balance between the new and the familiar. Anyone who’s followed his career to date, which has included four previous albums for Kompakt, outings for storied labels like Plug Research, Playhouse and Cocoon, and numerous remixes and collaborations – most recently, his Wajatta duo with actor and musician Reggie Watts – will immediately sense the warmth and eloquence that Tejada brings to his gilded, pliant techno and electro hybrids. But there’s more here, too; an explorer’s glimmer in the producer’s eye, as he gets to grips with new ways of working and being, while offering a reflective opening for the listener, something echoed in artwork by graphic designer and ‘contemplative artist’ David Grey.

“The album was started using tools I was unfamiliar with, which became an interesting exploratory process,” Tejada says. “Staying away from the obvious and having to re-learn simple things was a fun challenge.” You can hear these new creative pulsions pushing the eight tracks on Year Of The Living Dead ever-forward; the album has an unique cast, and though there are trace elements of the genres Tejada has indulged previously, he’s never quite put them together this way before. There’s the dubwise glitter sprinkled across the moody opener “The Haunting Of Earth”, the kind caresses found amongst the deftly woven textures of “Sheltered”, and the churchy melancholy, all hymnal and golden, of “Echoes Of Life”.

Year Of The Living Dead also speaks obliquely to its moment, though Tejada works this implicitly, allowing the strange circumstances of 2020 to cast their inevitable shadow without being obvious or didactic. “The production process began right before lockdown and continued through what felt like a very serious time for all of us,” he recalls. “Not being able to see or touch our loved ones made me feel we are all like ghosts. We can observe from a distance but cannot really be there. We are isolated and alone.” And yet, Year Of The Living Dead’s tenderness offers an out for that anxiety and loneliness, its intimate immensities gifting the album a redemptive and compassionate core. Compact and glistening, Year Of The Living Dead sculpts unassuming beauty.

Mit seinem neuen Album “Year Of The Living Dead“ findet der in Wien geborene und in Los Angeles lebende Produzent John Tejada die richtige Balance zwischen Neuem und Vertrautem. Wer seine bisherige Karriere verfolgt hat, seine vier Alben für Kompakt, Beiträge für Labels wie Plug Research, Playhouse und Cocoon, zahlreiche Remixe und Kollaborationen wie zuletzt das Projekt Wajatta zusammen mit dem Schauspieler und Musiker Reggie Watts, spürt sofort wieder die Wärme und Eloquenz, die Tejada in seine geschmeidigen Techno-Elektro-Hybride einbringt. Doch es geht auch noch einen Schritt weiter. Da ist dieses Aufblitzen des Entdeckers im Auge eines Produzenten, der sich mit neuen Arbeits- und Seinsweisen auseinandersetzt und dem Zuhörer gleichzeitig etwas sehr Offenes und Nachdenkliches anbietet, etwas, das im Artwork des Grafikdesigners und "kontemplativen Künstlers" David Grey nachklingt.

"Ich hatte angefangen, das Album mit mir noch unbekannten Tools zu produzieren, was sich zu einem interessanten Forschungsprozess für mich entwickelte", sagt Tejada. "Sich vom allzu Offensichtlichen zu trennen und einfache mal Dinge neu lernen zu müssen, war eine recht spaßige Herausforderung.“ Man kann diese neuen kreativen Impulse hören, die “Year Of The Living Dead“ auf einer Länge von 8 Tracks nach vorne treiben; das Album hat einen einzigartigen Ansatz, denn obwohl es Elemente der Genres gibt, denen Tejada zuvor gefrönt hat, hatte er sie doch noch nie zuvor so zusammengefügt wie hier. Da ist dieses dubbige Glitzern im atmosphärischen Opener "The Haunting Of Earth", die freundlichen Zärtlichkeiten, die man in den Texturen von "Sheltered" findet, und schließlich die heilige Melancholie im hymnischen "Echoes Of Life".

Auch “Year Of The Living Dead“ enthält Andeutungen auf die momentane Situation und erlaubt es, den seltsamen Umständen des Jahres 2020, ihren unvermeidlichen Schatten zu werfen, ohne dabei zu offensichtlich oder gar belehrend zu sein. "Der Produktionsprozess begann kurz vor dem (ersten) Lockdown und setzte sich in einer Zeit fort, die sich für uns alle als eine sehr ernste Zeit anfühlte", erinnert er sich. "Da wir nicht in der Lage waren, unsere Lieben zu sehen oder zu berühren, hatte ich das Gefühl, dass wir alle wie Geister sind. Wir können nur distanzierte Beobachter sein, aber wir können nicht wirklich anwesend sein. Wir sind isoliert und allein." Und doch scheint die Zärtlichkeit von "Year Of The Living Dead" einen Ausweg aus dieser Angst und Einsamkeit anzubieten, die grenzenlose Intimität des Albums enthält einen erlösenden und mitfühlenden Kern. Derart konsistent und schillernd formt "Year Of The Living Dead" eine unprätentiöse Schönheit.

Martinesque is back on home turf! Following up from last years effort, >Profound Watercourse Blackbird< features effective call-and-response vocals, continuously intertwining with its gently tripping bassline. A meticulously assembled package, this record sees Martinesque deliver his most playful outing yet.

The next issue in the on-going Mastermix series features a centerpiece of Frankfurt’s club history: Wild Pitch Club.

A predecessor to the esteemed Robert Johnson and a stepping stone for Panorama Bar’s very own nd_baumecker.

Founded by Playhouse masterminds Ata and the late Heiko M/S/O it was a Thursday club night that heavily featured house music as a prescription to the ongoing techno fever. Enamored with the US-American roots of it and all things deep, it not only presented the right records, but also their creators and protagonists. With a string of guest DJs from Robert Hood and Claude Young to Kerri Chandler and Theo Parrish as well as talent from the UK and Europe, it was one of the culture’s hubs at the time.

Here you have its testimony. Selected and mixed by Ata and nd_baumecker, it’s an authentic snapshot of the club’s vibe and spirit, spread over a collectable tape (download included) and a pleasant streaming version, it’s the full dosage. Like Roach Motel confessed: Wild Pitch, I love you.

The phrase 'feux follets' from which Archipel 105 draws its title, comes from the Latin ignis fatuus, and translates as will-o'-the-wisp. The etymology reaches back to old folktales in which ill-intentioned spirits would cast an atmospheric glow at night, in order to lead weary travellers astray. Today, the term refers to ghost-lights - artificial light reflections caused by decomposing organic emissions. Anyway you choose to understand it; this music contains the mysterious and unattainable. Feux Follets are meant to depict an elusive (and perhaps also illusive) ambition. A tense equilibrium colours the constant, foundational sounds with aleatory movements. The compositions are detail-oriented, and boldly explore their tangential elements.

Reaching out after a year of roller-coasting through new normals and perhaps solitude is none other than Suolo and his latest offspring - Detalii. The annual Capodopere outing is led by two lone crafters on a common mission, Crihan minding a full on attention-to-detail remix.


Still loyal to his roots and his original take on electronic music, Suolo takes time to develop his track-long thought. His usual by now takeover of side A results in somewhat of a scenic progression and a floating state of mind. One can always wander around his back-catalog, with no much hassle in immersing within his grand formula of sound. Lead by both rounds of echoing slashes and twinkling lumps of feather-soft melodies, Detalii at its 10 minutes is nothing short of downhill-ing between parallel worlds. Conservative in his approach, he still keeps one’s ears at the gateway of imagination, welding an organic middle with its synthetic outskirts. Is it the glory that Detalii comes with? Or his domesticated vocals in between the deep-watered repetitive hits? We’re still untangling the ends for the full picture.


By this time, the anticipation of Crihan’s body of work becomes something touchable. One might have pictured something around Alin’s palettes of vibrations but he can be a plot twister. Built around the 120 bpm mark, his take on the original extends on the idea of sonic levitation with a beat-broken re-invention of Detalii. Arguably the more melancholic version, Crihan plots an, even more, au naturel state of Detalii. More time to breathe is one early noticeable trait when it comes to the B side. Saturated with memories of places on the original and full of myths from the same places on the flip, the two have given a mirror between those parallel worlds. Elements remain profound and piercing, yet executed with the same eerie attitude.

Addition by Subtraction kicks off 2022 with 4 driving House bombs to boast their fifth vinyl-only release ready for the club.

Side A welcomes System V, who gives birth to his new alias - you may otherwise know him as the one and only Vitess from France. Elijah Something takes side B, Sydney’s very own producer, super star DJ, and label head honcho at Conspiracy Music.

Early support from: James Andrew, Chris Stussy, Leon, DJOKO, Fabe, Voigtmann, ADMNTi, Jake Hough, Gabby, Persian Rug, Marley Sherman, and Andy Ivory.

Label favorites Pornbugs return with another triumphant release, on the ever-reliable Bondage-Music.

Kicking off with the title track 'Juvania', a deep and sophisticated subtle groover, with its deep bass setting the tone. A filtered vocal hook loops around while trippy percussive adds an additional vibe, while the gated vocal adds a sparkle to proceedings.

Remix duties see Rhadow adding some intrigue, as this bubbling bass led re-tweak unfurls, with trippy vocal fx and tasty percussion, while a warm and magical muted melodic flavor encases things wonderfully.

Next, we find 'Mudita', with its moody rolling groove, and spoken style vocal that adds a little bounce to this workout, while some dubby elements are sprinkled nicely. The breakdown is a hypnotic and cosmic vibed affair, as the spoken word plays with your mind before returning to the track with a real throb. 

Nicola Brusegan steps up to remix Mudita, taking us deep, but keeping the energy levels high, as this deep driver with a classic feel lets go. Punchy goodness!

Subsequent. We live in old structures, admire the same old gods!
After the success and the blitz sale of their first two releases - Subsequent is back with 4 futuristic tracks from Copenhagen based Martin Swanstein aka Martinez. Meandering hectic drums, abstract patches of moody melodies and a minimalistic elegance define this wonderful EP. Subsequent material at its best.
Enjoy!

New dancefloor tracks from Domino Vibes.

The title of EP, "Transcendental" is a reference to the power listening to music and dancing has on lifting the mood, bring happiness and elevate the state of mind.

Growing up around Paris, Yasin Hazim learned about music through both his classical music training at the conservatory & his family's Moroccan & Algerian roots.

It's from those influences ranging from Leonard Cohen, Keith Jarrett & Jacques Brel to Gnawa music, Abdel Halim Hafez & Reinette l'Oranaise that he draws his own style, ranging from Blues to folk music, sly elements of R&B, to his own blend of psychedelic disco and beyond.

Awash in waves of haunting piano lines and warm chugging drums, Yasin Hazim's music is a departure from all that is pumped-up, instead drifting along a more circuitous river of melodic emotions and rhythmical movements, taking you on a heartfelt and personal journey.

The Swedish/Dutch label De Vloer is back with its signature sound of floor focused dub, produced by the label owners themselves.

Porter Brook debuts on Trule with an EP bringing together deep, rugged techno with deftly programmed, steely UK breaks, intricate sound design, and shimmering pads.
