House Vinyl New Releases - News

The seventh Idealistmusic instalment and debut album by the Swiss artist

We are overjoyed to announce the next candidate for our label-catalogue after Kerri Chandlers 'The Watergate Files' EP. New Watergate resident Matthias Meyer was recently added to our booking agency - his debut on Watergate Records is called 'Becuz' and hereby it immediately answers every potential question. The eponymous Track has the atmospheric density of an approaching storm front that discharges into epic organ-hooks and shredded vocals. Appropriate to that the B-side begins with 'November Rain", a beat-driven techno-anthem with foggy synth-spheres and 'closed eyes"-attitude. Mario Basanovs a.k.a. Ten Walls' interpretation has more contours and a percussive touch that keeps the mood of the original unchanged: November rain in a tropical rainforest. An astonishing EP with two great tracks and a wonderful remix. 'Becuz' EP will be released on May 12th on vinyl and digital.

State Of Flow is back. After a 2 years hiatus since its last release, the Belgian label marks its return bringing into play South America rising talents Manglus and Guillermo de Caminos under their Aire Terra alias. With both guys busy keeping alive the vibrant local scene, the pair have provided two massive Latino-ish percussive originals that come packed with a remix by Roche Madame head Cesar Merveille. Title cut "El Matoto" opens proceedings in a minimal-techy fashion as pressing vocals meet captivating percussive layers and hollow rumbling toms. On the flip, "Africandombe" howls out a repetitive, hypnotic vocal, giving to the entire track an ancestral dimension, whilst twisted fxs and textures try to distract you from the loopiness mood. Rounding out the package, Berlin-based Cesar Merveille injects to the original a good dose of analogue harm. A massive gloomy bassline rumbles undisturbed underneath sliced drums and vocal chops, channelling his energies to pure dancefloor intentions.

Amphia 021 is narrated by Christopher Ledger, who subtly
undertakes us into different corners of the electronic music
field.

The record provides 4 dance-oriented tracks, with moments of
introspection, a state of mind in which one does not fear to
explore his inner gloomy parts.
Side A begins with “Afterglow”, which smoothly blends its
dynamic rhythm and acid bassline with dreamy pads giving an
alluring glimpse into its ingenuous approach.
“Not formally” feels like a change of register with its four to the
floor beat and airy pads encompassing multiple textures.
The sequel surprises the peak of the EP, with “Deceptive”.
Sharp edges and a heavy bass line give the track its raw appeal
perfectly combined with the “deceptive” minor chord.
With an enigmatic approach, the record ends with “See
through”, concluding the scenic space we’ve all been guided
through.

An outsider in the Detroit scene, Jared Wilson's meandering acid jams have always sounded more Cornish than American. His brand new EP for the Netherlands' 030303 Records continues on that spacey tip. Sea Friends starts warm, bassy and laidback with upbeat and frenetic melodies taking over later on, lifting the tune to another level. Seeing is Forgetting is a melancholic, beatless acid trip, drenched in a strange field recordings setting with waves, vocal snippets and bird sounds all present. Potentially referring to Detroit's legendary record label and distribution company is Submerge the Ship, the most layered and mesmerizing jam on this twelve, a track that truly sends you off to the depths of the deep sea. Closing track Yogacamp is the fastest one on the record and with various eerie melodies battling for dominance, a great once for the darker dance floors.

Monkey Safari’s Hommage label has been churning out some of the best, cutting-edge dance floor cuts for the past half
decade focusing on a wide array of stylings from both the label heads themselves to many of today’s hottest artists
spanning the spectrum from Techno to House. So, when Hommage turned to the Frankfurt based and fabled artist Reboot
for their latest release after his highly acclaimed remix of Monkey Safari’s ‘Helios' in earlier this year, it was no surprise.

The extremely versatile producer not only delivered a stunning EP but something the label has yet to deliver
sonically. Spanning seven extremely versatile tracks Reboot serves up what could be his most advantageous release yet
by combining a plethora of sounds traversing the musical gamut with a main focus set firmly in the realm of Dub Techno.

Opening the EP with the low slung and extremely atmospheric cut ‘Vulvation’ Reboot channels the essence of Detroit and
artists like Deepchord with reverb heavy yet incredibly engaging aural artifacts before upping the tempo on ‘River’ where
an infectious groove is paramount leaving the hazy harmonies to carry us off into the proverbial ether. ‘Fairytales’ pursues
and with this tune, Reboot dives deep into the sounds of early Dub leaving the Techno aesthetic to the way side as the
spirit of Lee Scratch Perry and King Tubby come full frontal as early Dub Reggae leanings take the lead where Echo Space
delays, washed out vocals and shimmering guitar licks create an undeniably beautiful journey. Ramping up the pace once
again, ‘Kookaburra Baby’ relies on more classic 4/4 techniques as the kick and percussion set the foundation for sonic
glimmers and lush melodies that feel as psychedelic as they do euphoric resulting in a ride on a bed of clouds through
lavishly pink sunsets to the far reaches of the cosmic expanse. Diving back into the Dub Reggae spectrum, ‘Downtown’
fuses the classic stylings of early Dub with modern Techno stylings birthing a gorgeous and contagious tune that could be put on an infinite loop. Nearing the end of the EP ‘Valley’ drives the tempo up again as crisp hi hats and foggy sonics coalesce into a dreamy yet energetic trek through ethereal spaces before the last track on the EP ‘Sience’ drops
the speed once again, focusing on far reaching atmospherics and classic Dub sounds resulting in a gorgeous finale to an already stunning and extremely graceful short player that will remain as fresh and exciting centuries from now, as it does
today.

Ae:ther releases the stunning single We’ll Be Together, taken from his 2019 debut album on Crosstown Rebels titled Me. Also featured is an exclusive new track and vibrant remixes from Moscoman and Francesco Mami.

On We’ll Be Together a unifying atmosphere is created with intense energy as intricate melodies weave in and out of an introspective vocal, locked to the groove. Blue Lagoon is a glorious subaquatic soundscape crafted by Ae:ther’s trademark celestial synths and taut percussion. Disco Halal boss Moscoman brings his unpredictable and alternative style to the first remix of We’ll Be Together with retro keys and dreamy pads. Finally, Francesco Mami turns in an uplifting house rework, adding infectious rhythm that will work wonders on the dancefloor.

At the birth of electronic music, its visionary pioneers wanted to soundtrack the future, now that future is here it’s artists like Ae:ther who take up the mantle and guide us into the unknown.

Radio Slave and Bushwacka! remix ‘Eye Of The Storm’ featuring vocalist and
drum ’n bass royalty Onallee, with label boss Archie Hamilton serving up a fresh VIP mix.

Taken from Hamilton’s debut album ‘Archive Fiction’, which dropped earlier this year on Moscow Records, ‘Eye Of The Storm’ featuring Reprazent artist Onallee, gets the remix treatment from two renowned producers with a reimagined garage inspired mix from the boss himself. Two acclaimed British artists, Rekids boss and esteemed remixer Radio Slave leads the release with Hamilton’s VIP mix alongside Olmeto and Plank Records owner and artist Bushwacka!

Radio Slave’s remix of ‘Eye Of The Storm feat. Onallee’ opens with a thundering kick, haunting effects, rolling vox-cuts and rattling hats with an ecstasy inducing breakdown. Archie Hamilton’s VIP mix then goes down a classic bubbling bassline route, featuring crunchy cymbals and phasing synths when Bushwacka! then goes on to close the release with break styled drum programming, rumbling toms, zapping flute like samples and jungle shakers on his remix.

Welcome to this new volume of The Big Cat Remixed. This second part has the amazing remixes from Jay Lumen, Doorly and Reboot.

Detlef celebrates the launch of his new label “Issues” with a quintessential EP titled “ Dub Clap”. Known for his simplicity and effectiveness, Detlef delivers the same vibe to this release. “Dub Clap” is a groovy track with a sub bassline, a great catchy vocal and a clever arrangement that gives maximum energy to the track. Title “Say Something” is a special groove made by chopped vocals and subby basslines thats creating a driving groove. Also included in the package is “Dub Clap tool” which created with chopped vocals and grooved out tops that Dj’s could use as part of their dj sets.

Detlef is a DJ and producer of the highest order, and has garnered a reputation as one of the most exciting names in the underground scene.

Detlef is moving towards the next chapter of his exciting career.

Hydergine's musical roots and influences are going back to the classic sound of the 90's dub techno pioneers. His pseudonym is taken from the name of a smart drug used to improve the metabolism of brain cells and cognitive abilities.

With it's dark and atmospheric soundscapes, the A-side track 'Grid' follows that root in a perfectly manner and shows his love for tape and tube sounds. On the flip-side the title track 'Static Frame' offers sparkling synth lines and shuffling hi hats. The modulated echoes go straight from your ear to your brain.

The reduced drums and driven synths in 'Sweep' will finally beam you into a basement techno party full of fog and strobe lights.
After releases on his own Ranges imprint, Separate Skills Recordings or Tiefenrausch we finally welcome the italian producer on Etui.

Played by: Jonas Kopp, Dubfire, Gel Abril, Slam, Subjected, Agaric, Electric Indigo ... and many more.

Rotterdam’s own Jamie Lie A Kwie returns to VL Recordings for his first solo EP on the label, delivering four dancefloor ready weapons that have garnered support from the Romanian shores of Sunwaves to Club Space in Miami.

A1 sees ‘Kiwi’ lead with a pumping 4/4 kick, laden over bubbling synths, modulating subs and crunchy arpeggiators that automate playfully, as soft atmospherics whisper in the background. EP title track ‘Jungl.’ traverses through a near 11 minute journey, starting with discordant, jazz-infused hits and chugging rhythms, which patiently build towards a wistful breakdown, one primed for the after hours.

On the flip ‘Re-dub Overdub’ offers submerged dub chords that interplay with panning bongo patterns and a steady mid-bass refrain, supplemented by tripped out atmospheres, fading in and out of focus. Concluding the package is ‘In Arts’, a heads down, meditative number, propelled by clinical drum processing and an evolving, earworm hook, one that would feel comfortable on the floors of festivals and intimate clubs alike.

2nd phase on Borft by the Chicago artist JON DOPPLER. THIS Time on toxic Purple Vinyl... Weird & Funky experimental techno on the A side. A more of a experimental chillout room on the B side

Nordische Minimal Electronica, gefühlvoll instrumentiert. Inkl. Tale Of Us Remix. Nach ihrer "Looped EP", die zum Record Store Day im April 2015 veröffentlicht wurde, bringen sich Kiasmos kurz vor Jahresende noch einmal mit drei neuen Titeln und einem Remix von Tale Of Us in Erinnerung. Kiasmos besteht aus dem isländischen Komponisten Ólafur Arnalds, der für seine Mischung aus minimalistischen Klavier- und Streicher-Kompositionen und elektronischen Sounds bekannt ist, und dem Färöer Janus Rasmussen, zugleich Kopf des Elektro-Pop-Projekts Bloodgroup. Die EP wird vom vierminütigen Track "Drawn" eröffnet, einem perkussiven Titel mit seichten Klavier-Motiven.

"Gaunt" begeistert mit Ambient-Synthies, einem Drum Loop und langsam sich bewegenden Akkorden. Der Titelsong "Swept", den das Duo bereits bei Konzerten als Überraschungsgeschenk in Form von Download-Karten an Fans verteilte, stellt eine clubtaugliche Beat-Struktur in den Vordergrund - einhergehend mit der von Kiasmos bekannten gefühlvollen Instrumentierung. Abgeschlossen wird die EP durch einen Remix des in Berlin ansässigen Duos Tale Of Us.

Dieses stattet den Downbeat-Charakter des Titelsongs mit einer sehr dunklen Ästhetik aus. Pulsierende Hi-Hats und ein treibender Bass-Loop geben dem Track mehr Tempo, während er sich zu einem epischen Ende auftürmt.

Ass kicking deep and acid tracks straight from archives of Paul Mac. Mastered by Beau and well selected to make your body move.

Rich NxT helms the next release on the Fuse London label, with his 'What's In The Box' EP, the 3rd solo EP from one of the parties chief residents. This release brings yet more variety to the NxT stall with a classic feel on the A1 track, 'Defy' where he kicks things off with his trademark, crisp beats and razor sharp percussion riding over the dubby low end, then opening out into lush pads and a vocal that never fail to raise the atmosphere, proving popular with people everywhere.

'Mylove' is the release's vinyl only track and is an understated anthem, once again delving deep with brooding bass, paired with drum snatches echoing that of his early jungle days. When the tripped out male vocal and percussion builds into the drop and counter melody, all the elements align in that unique NxT fashion. Over on the flip, 'Twang' has become another firm favourite with audiences, calling again on memories of old school rave combined with a rolling, edgy groove, whilst 'Cannonball' finishes the EP off in fine style with a slab of atmospheric wonder perfect for those early morning sunlit sessions.

Rotciv is the Brasilian born, Berlin based man behind Mister Mistery records. This prolific producer has been out there for quite a long time and you might remember "The Rimshooters", the long lasting collaboration with Massimiliano Pagliara himself. Now it is time for Rotciv to offer a piece of his synthesisers' craftsmanship to Funnuvojoere Records. This five tracker EP expresses Rotciv's skills with harmony and music progression. A1 AWAKENING starts off with a piano house arpeggio and slowly evolves into a trance acid-tinged explosive motive. Organic feeling drums develop giving it a disco touch that will put a smile on the crowded dance floor. A2 GOOD SPELL combines a pure cosmic style with a New Beat-like dissonance and uplifting vocals. B1 KNOW THE UNKNOWN keeps the experimentation levels high with distortions and an 8bit dialogue that drifts into a progressive-kind of sound. Deeper than the rest B2 puts on stage a dark landscape that reminds of a black and white vampire movie. B3 INTERMISSION follows up and gives the final ambient touch to this delightful EP.

Frequent collaborators Shaun Reeves and Tuccillo team up on Archie Hamilton’s Moscow Recordings, bringing three intricate cuts plus a remix from Premiesku member Floog.

Both artists have been releasing music for over a decade with Tuccillo making appearances on Inermu, Holic Trax, Djebali and 8bit, whilst Reeves initially burst onto the scene via Raum… music and Wolf + Lamb before co-founding Visionquest where he still continues to release the bulk of his work.

That label is also where the pair initially joined forces and, aside from an outing on One Records and Shantu, where the two have consistently collaborated. Following the release of Archie Hamilton’s debut album, Reeves and Tuccillo now join Moscow Recordings alongside artists like Argy, Noha, Mennie and Floog.

Meandering onwards, ‘Fill Callings’ is a deep and dubby cut with pulsating bass, skipping hats and metallic whirrs. Next, ‘Chaboi’ ups the tempo, implementing a compelling groove whilst deep chords are joined by various tiny elements that pan throughout the mix, leading into ‘Anak’ – a stripped back number with a mean bassline, crystalline stabs and murmuring vocals. On remix duties, Romanian producer Floog adds extra thud to ‘Fill Callings’ courtesy of pronounced kicks and a reverbing snare that drives the track forward whilst a combination of distorted effects squelch and rattle.

Cologne’s Tim Engelhardt delivers his debut EP for Watergate.
We got our first taste of Tim Engelhardt’s prodigious talent when ‘Under Armour’ featured on
WhoMadeWho’s acclaimed Watergate 26 compilation earlier this year. The track was a masterstroke of
tension-filled chords and crisp drums that put him squarely on the radar of the WG faithful.
His first EP for the label ‘Rhy’, captures the essence of Watergate’s famous Waterfloor at dawn. The title
track is drenched in sheaths of warm melodies, as velvety vocal undertones and sweeping strings
welcome the morning light. ‘When The Sun Illuminated Her Eyes’, is the more driving accompaniment, as
textured synths and delicate keys shine a light on Engelhardt’s accomplished skill as a pianist.

Lyon based YA.R crew is proud to present their first release coming with 4 tracks from local artists that will let you feel the energetic atmosphere of their local parties.

This EP starts with Sweely's groovy signature, perfectly fitted for every dancefloor: no need to present him again, always 100% banger! Next, Aladdin! comes with fresh minimal techy beats and aerial syncopated chords.

On the other side, Funktroid brings his wavy electronic atmosphere which makes you feel as you were a drunk robot. Finally, the trip ends with Garouda who has been inspired by 90's tech house: punchy vibes and mysterious sounds that everyone can agree on.

Next we encounter Toke, based in Tbilisi he has mastered the subtitles of the dance floor developing his own unique flavour of a classic style, for MT004 he supplies perfect twilight accompaniments. El Choop based in the UK has been honing his craft relentlessly since his introduction to the scene, Skeleton Crew reflecting this with its polished hard hitting style sure to satisfy many a dance floor.

BLIQ unveil a debut release by Greek producer Aphelion aka George Konstantoulakis (member of Equations Collective). "Volatile Radiance" sets the pace with otherworldly futurism, while "Cosmic Vibrations" completes the A-side with addictive bass notes & crystallised melodics. On the flip, legendary electro producer Silicon Scally (Carl Finlow) follows a menacing cyberfunk route, while Aphelion's original, concludes the release with an interplanetary rhythm track interpretation.

Aquarius Heaven is the next guest to appear on the ever so inspiring Bunte Kuh label. ‚Take It Easy‘ comes packed with four stellar selections; two original works from the German, as well as two remixes from Clement Kassianov and Pattern Drama.
The title track eases you into this one, with filtered kicks paving the way for poetic vocals and melodies that climb upwards in energy and a stature. Clement Kassianov then offers his interpretation, bringing together tribal percussion that work effortlessly alongside the hook of “Take It Easy”, coming and going across the duration.
Over to the B Side and Aquarius is back on the original works with ‘Backstage of the Backstage’ - a faster paced and darker cut with haunting synth pads that open the room for an equally eerie muffled vocal. Pattern Drama then builds upon the rich layer of chords created by Aquarius Heaven with the addition of crisp percussive hits and the return of twinkling melodies overhead.

The Beartone label continues to make moves with a six superb release from the boss himself Bearface (A.K.A. Panasa from Afrobeat duo Bana Kuba). Renowned for his slick final house on a range of top labels, here he offers four more such cuts that will melt the mind.Opener Outers is a slippery and sleek number with icy hi hats and rugged basslines. It’s heady tackle that really gets under your skin.Veda ups the pace with more super well programmed drums and deft little hi hats and drum fills as well as some warped vocals that bring a brilliantly freaky feeling.Milenial then gets down and dirty, with kinetic kick drums and rasping synths, popping cow bells and a relentless sense of groove.Closing things out is Cause, a deep, bubbly number with underlapping bass, gloopy synths and a dry, catchy groove that gets you locked.All in all this is another first class EP.

Support from: Vlad Caia (SIT), Mahony, David Gtronic and Moskalus.

Influential Spanish artist Coyu is stepping out on his own Suara label with a long overdue debut album entitled ‘You Don’t Know’ that is going to shatter all conceptions about him. Due for release this September 23rd, the 16 track affair showcases his broad range and takes in collaborators like Moby, Lazarusman, The Horrorist, Thomas Gandey and many more.

Coyu quickly rose through the ranks to become one of the most prominent names in underground dance music. The Spanish man famous for his love of cats has established his Suara label as a go-to outlet for the most essential house and tech tracks, as well as releasing his own expressive grooves on Cocoon Recordings, Diynamic, Bedrock Records, Turbo Recordings and MORE. Now he really stretches his legs across a fantastic full length album that goes way beyond the dance floor and shows many new sides to his sound. The artist has been working on it since 2012 and aims to show people that whatever they think about him is wrong.

Says the artist himself, “the album is named ‘You Don't Know’ because many people have a preconceived idea of who I am. Until now, maybe I wasn't smart enough to show them my roots, what I love and what I can offer to the music. I'm not just a DJ or a producer who can play or make grooves – I love many different genres and many different kinds of music. With this album I want to change that preconception.”

The album kicks off with a dramatic spoken word from legendary vocalist Lazarusman before exploring low slung and sleazy grooves on ‘The Three Chimney’, floaty light melodic and dreamy house on ‘Out of The Pain’ and more club focussed but just as dreamy fair on ‘We All Try’ with Mike Leary.

Proving he can do everything from poolside gems to peak time techno, ‘Fear Is Gunna Be A Player In Your Life’ is one to get you in a trance with its sonar like synths and rolling deep space drums. Thomas Gandey aka Cagedbaby then steps up to guest on ‘1+1’ which is a hands in the air piano anthem to pump the party, and ‘Wanna Do Right, Wanna Do Wrong’ is a techno cut with brilliantly energetic drum programming and a big, perfectly placed vocal sample.

Switching up the vibe is ‘I May Be Dead, But One Day The World Will Be Beautiful Again’ with none other than dance legend Moby. It is a heavenly track with break beats, angelic melodies and a celestial feel that leaves you refreshed. The second half touches on raved-up drum & bass, gurgling minimal techno and harder techno with mind melting acid synths. The Horrorist contributes to the banging ‘My First Pill’, while the techno journey continues with ‘Unite’ featuring Gabriella Vergilov before the album finishes on the fluttering ambient track ‘Insania’, with mad church bells and manic percussion all bringing things to a close in style.

This is a broad, adventurous album that covers plenty of music ground and takes you on a true electronic trip from one of dance music’s most accomplished names.

LA’s Cromie joins Detroit imprint Clave House to release four mesmerizing cuts entitled ‘Root Bulb’.

A familiar face in the Los Angeles house scene, Nikola Hlady aka Cromie has established himself through his talents and graft in the studio showcasing his distinctive deep house rhythms, clever chord progressions and focus on charismatic sound design. His previous releases on Material Image, Amadeus Records and These Things Take Time join hypnotically driven atmospheres with captivating rhythms creating forward- thinking yet classically-minded sonics. His ‘Root Bulb’ EP sees the LA producer join the Clave House family accompanying artists such as Ali Berger, Pascäal, 外神 deepspace, Appian, Gerald Norton, Segv and Berndt.

Cromie's ‘Root Bulb’ EP picks up where his 2018 releases left off, taking inspiration from the Southern California landscape that surrounds him, with its juxtaposition of endless expanses of concrete amidst its staggeringly diverse flora and famous sunshine.
‘Root Bulb’ kicks things off with absorbing pads layered over rough and raw percussion with angelic textures in the distance before ‘Lilac’ delivers breaks-tinged drums, a catchy, buried sample, infectious synth notes and warming melodies inviting the listener’s focus.

‘Aristocrat Motel’ maintains the enrapturing ambience by fusing pulsating bass shoots, alleviating tones and charming, earworm keys offering a club-focussed yet introspective track until ‘Root Bulb (Grove Mix)’ rounds off proceedings with downtempo broken-beat grooves, tantalising vibrations and undulating, cosmic elements.

Greetings to Gonzo Gurkenheimer

While "Hexagon Cloud" may be Erika's debut solo release, this is by no means her introduction to the scene. For years Erika has been a member of Ectomorph and co-conspirator of Interdimensional Transmissions, but since these projects play shadowy games with identity and perception, she may just need that introduction. Limited Edition, Silk Screen Cover with foil sticker enclosed....collectable! TIP!
Erika was raised in a household full of Science and Music. Growing up surrounded by discarded computers, she built her own machines and ran a BBS from her bedroom before she went to high school. Moving to Ann Arbor in 1993, she ran into the peripheries of Detroit's burgeoning underground
electronic party scene via her involvement as a jazz DJ and Program Director at WCBN, the University of Michigan's student run radio station. Though she took formal piano lessons from a young age, it was her ability to tame machines that brought her invitation into Ectomorph in 1997.

Her focus in Ectomorph was live analog synthesis and fluid improvisational interactions with Ectomorph & IT founder BMG. As Ectomorph evolved beyond the boundaries of the sullied word "Electro", Erika continued to work with BMG on his other projects, including keyboard work on the "Credit Card" single with Sal Principato. Through years of touring and throwing some of Detroit's finest underground parties, Erika grew and took shape as vinyl DJ and analog composer of her own right.

Composing without the aid of a computer, Erika's system is centered around a rare highly flexible hardware sequencer. The ideas flowed quickly, and what began as an EP quickly blossomed into a double album with the aid of production from BMG. Science and music, dreams of space and icroscopic organisms, mutation of plant life and the birth of stars, all come together effortlessly in her work to sound like post acid techno subterranean spelunking in a quest to return to the stars. Or at least to the northern "Hexagon Cloud" of Saturn.

Catch Erika debuting the album live at this years' ovement festival, or perhaps in your home town.


Artist Bio:
Erika dreams on the cellular level, or perhaps of transdimensional intelligences moving through strange patterns on celestial objects, working towards a mysterious goal. Her connection to the dreamworld becomes concrete in her approach to music, simultaneously so solid and yet so
ethereal. Erika still finds time to accomplish many things in her waking hours, such as being a member of Ectomorph, co-conspirator of Detroit's Interdimensional Transmissions record label, DJing with vinyl, making music with her pet machines, and running - a freeform streaming radio station. celebrates its 14th year this year, being one of the very first iTunes presets. From 1993 through 1999, Erika was very involved in WCBN in Ann Arbor, as a freeform and jazz DJ, and Program Director.

The daughter of a famed scientist and already running a well known BBS from her bedroom by the time she was 13, Erika is no stranger to expressing her ideas through technology. In 1997 she was handed a TR-606 and asked to join Ectomorph, and has since become an electronic musician of the highest order, focusing on analog synthesis, with live hardware sequencing that allows transformation over time and a deep depth of tone. The release of her debut solo double album *Hexagon Cloud* is due imminently on IT.

On the A side LXK takes us on a dark and mysterious journey thru the backwoods of the German Schwarzwald, with lots of organic sounds and crackles. The second track on the A side features a groove heavy Dub Version.

Disfunction is a cool, minimalistic deep house tune, whose rhythmic percussion groove will hardly let one leg stand still.
Martin Eyerer’s brought Disfunction in a more technoid context, but his version never loses sight of the groovyness as well.
The second original of the EP, Travelling Without Moving, is carried by a deep pad, which is constantly wafting in the background, giving the track a cozy warm mood. Friends of the black gold can already look forward to the trippy track Moon Tune, which will only be released on vinyl for the time being.
