House Vinyl New Releases - News

For Moon Harbour's next top tech house trick they invite studio and dance floor wizard Marco
Faraone to serve up two great originals and then have Santé and Mathias Kaden remix them to
perfection.

Faraone is an Italian producer and DJ who has been turning out his singular sounds since 2008.
He appeared on Moon Harbour with his classic 'Strange Neighbours' back in 2010, as well as
on Truesoul, Desolat and Drumcode. He never disappoints with his beats and as a result DJs at
only the finest spaces from Panorama Bar to Tomorrowland.

Up first is 'Next Level', a track with a solid bed of physical, forceful beats. Loopy bass then joins
the fun with some sandy hi hats, and you are truly sucked into the infectious groove. Things get
loose with scattered hits, frazzled synth lines and clever use of filters, and the whole thing
makes for a wild ride. Next up, the excellent 'Old But Gold' is a more party-starting track with
playful bass and shimmering pads, as well as colourful synth lines and loose grooves that really
make you want to move. Vocal yelps and freewheeling chords add an intimate house party feel
to this most firmly rooted of house tracks and it is one that will surely get people going crazy.

Mathias Kaden's Arpe Noah Remix is another fine effort from the long standing Freude Am
Tanzen artist. It is filled with airy hi hats and is a cavernous track that really invites you to get
lost in its dubbed out and rolling rhythm. Another German in the form of Avotre label boss and
Do Not Sleep Ibiza resident Santé then tackles the same cut and takes it deep down into heady,
back room and sweaty territory. His marching beats and tough hits mark this out as a macho cut
that will keep people locked for days.

This fine coming together of old and new Moon Harbour associates is another testament to the
label's ability to evolve ahead of the times.

If nothing else, this year has shown the world that the Monkey Safari brothers are unstoppable... 2016 has already seen their release of three Vinyl-EPs: 'On' with remixes by Paco Osuna and Chloé back in March, 'Bernstein' with two remixes by John Digweed & Nick Muir and UNER released in June, and 'Boris' with help from Guy Mantzur and Victor Ruiz in August, all out on their own label Hommage. 

Now with their fourth EP of the year, entitled 'Woo', Sven and Lars have taken the world by surprise with their multidimensional and spirited style, as evident by their diverse, rapid-fire releases coming out like clockwork and made with a ton of love. 

On the A-side Monkey Safari themselves bring the original track "Woo" (available only digitally) to a new level. The A-side also features some powerful feminine energy with a stunning remix by the renowned Quebecois duo BLOND:ISH, showing a highly danceable and sultry side of the track.

On the B-side "Verso" is an odyssey from somber to deep to luminous and back again, while the second track, Monkey Safari's "Verso Reconstruction Mix" sees the track transform into an odyssey of emotion from dark to upbeat. 

The 8th release of Polybius Trax will be an EP of Myriadd, name which Craig Stainton (Mantra / Bunker Den Haag / Solar One Music) distils acid house that evokes us to the golden age of the genre. Analogue drums, droning acid bass and 303-bating riffs.

Delivers the hard-hitting jack-attack that is "A New Day' the utterly Chicago- fuelled. Melancholy synth and ethereal melodies that ascend and dissolve into neon clouds. infectiously funky drums, warm, enveloping synth atmospherics and elevated by lush, bass acid lines that make the body sweat on the dance floor.

Limited Edition Hand Stamped 12' Vinyl - Some say techno's 4/4 owes its powerful majesty to our human heartbeat and its constant, uninterrupted pulse. - Some say the most magnificent and memorable dark skies on earth can be seen in Sweden, known as the Northern Lights: they may vary its shape, colour and intensity through time, but its presence in our imaginary stays untouched and seems always ready to captivate us again.As true techno lovers, our vinyl only constellation welcomes swedish legendary artist Samuel L. Session: in RC we've always referred to Samuel's figure as the Aurora Borealis of techno: timeless, always evolving and majestic. 'In the dark' plays 3 engaging, pushing and beat leading tracks: our most reliable 4/4 beat reference for those who enjoy getting lost dancing in the dark but don't want to lose the North.

R&S welcomes back Space Dimension Controller's Jack Hamill for a EP of his trademark future-funk, his first for the label since 2013.
The EXOSTACK EP marks a welcome return from Hamill to the kind of astro-boogie that made him a unifying favourite in any discerning DJ's record box.
The title track is a masterclass of wide-eyed astral disco - cycling euphoric arpeggios underpinned by dubbed out bass riffs and swooning pads. Unfurling over a sizeable 8 minutes, Hamill justifies every second with a beguiling arrangement that takes the listener on a groove excursion of epic proportions.
On the flip, red hot Swede Kornél Kovács
delivers a tuff rerub that jacks up the drums, and cools out the chords, twisting the original into a classic house roller. SDC original 'BIOPAN' finds Hamill in more contemplative mood - pulsing drums, a subdued bass figure and woozy synth melodies combine to haunting effect.

Huge re issue from Steve Poindexter's back catalogue from 1991. All 6 tracks are fully re mastered for 2014 and re released in original artwork. Released in conjunction with Steve Poindexter / Chicago Underground. Discogs prices are $100+++ but they won't sound as good as this and all pressing faults from original copies have been corrected.

We've all been there, spending endless hours searching, listening, skipping thru tracks and trying to find at least one good one. No more. We've made it easy for you...
Tune is all about that one track, THE track that will bring the heat. No remixes, radio edits or excess dubs. It's all very simple, one track, one really awesome tune. That's all.
TUNE is a new label project from Local Talk founders Mad Mats & Tooli.Theo Walbeck checks in with his first release for Tune, Freek Tool.A sweaty, funked-up, killer vintage drum machine rhythms bonanza that uses a very freaky and catchy r&b loop that def will turn some heads in your basement club.
Essential for fans of straight up unadulterated club traxxxx.
But who is Theo Walbeck Let's just say this cat has been around for a while and knows a thing or two about jack.
You will hear more from Mr. Walbeck...watch this void!

obias. returns to Ostgut Ton with his third full length Eyes In The Center and expands the musical narrative laid out by his Helium Sessions EP (O-TON, 2016). The Berghain resident keeps exploring the vast modular synth-driven Techno, Experimental and Ambient territories on a journey in-between genres.
Tobias Freund is long established as an influential artist and has - since the early 1990s - been working as a professional producer, sound engineer, label owner and strictly live musician. Besides his early solo projects (such as Pink Elln, Metazone or Phobia) he's also been collaborating with Dandy Jack (as Sieg Über Die Sonne), Ricardo Villalobos (as Odd Machine), Max Loderbauer (as NSI.), Valentina Berthelon (as Recent Arts) and Atom™ to only name a few. With his vast experience, diverse output and interests, Tobias. doesn't tire to actively push against existing boundaries and explore new areas of electronic music.
On Eyes In The Center Tobias. sticks to this mantra. The album, instead of following a stringent musical concept, channels a certain attitude and sovereignty fed by almost three decades of Tobias. expanding his skills in music production, in their entirety the 12 songs work as a raw, unpolished collage and evoke the spirit of (Post) Punk and the more experimental niches of electronic music. Think Chrome, Residents and Throbbing Gristle - but not Kraftwerk. Or think The Human League, Yellow Magic Orchestra and Der Plan, but think more in terms of musical attitudes and concepts rather than past sound aesthetics.
Even though Freund still owns the same Roland TR-808 he bought from his first wage in the mid 1980s (when he worked as sound engineer at FAR Studios owned by Frank Farian) his studio machine park has significantly evolved and got a lot more refined since. With all these machine at hand Tobias. opted for limiting the gear used during the making of Eyes In The Center to avoid losing himself in possibilities. But it's all there: the slender, multi-layered, hypnotic club-ready Techno cuts that dominate his live sets at Berghain and at clubs and festivals around the globe ('Blind Mass', 'Syndrome', 'Visitors', 'Vertic'), leftfield jams that dodge clear stylistic classification ('Cr 24', 'Single Minded', 'Geometric' and the epic, eponymous 'Eyes In The Center') and the very atmospheric, intimate and introverted ambient listening pieces ('In Between',

'Beautiful Mistake', 'El Mundo Será Feliz', 'Autopoiesis').
While Eyes In The Center as a whole can't be pinned down to a certain mood or sound, there is an underlying concept in reference to the idea of autopoiesis, meaning 'self' and 'creation, production', a system which reproduces and maintains itself. Originating from the scientific fields of chemistry and biology, applied to machine music it's intriguing - what else is a sequenced loop: a flow, a rhythm that keeps rolling, maintains and reproduces itself. Spearheaded by Chilean philosopher and neuroscientist Francisco Varela the song 'Autopoiesis' uses Varela's own reflections on this topic.
On Eyes In The Center Tobias. expands his exploration of these ideas that already informed his work with Chilean visual artist Valentina Berthelon on their joint audio-visual project Recent Arts in 2016.
As a statement of Tobias.' personal philosophy and state of mind, as a mix of science, meditation and rhythm, Eyes In The Center stands in a long tradition of electronic music, scrutinizing the self while reaching out towards the unknown, approaching sound with an appetite for the new, in the tradition of true innovators.

Back in '95 when the term Superclub was first used, (a title we very much distanced ourselves from) and the club compilation was still very much in its infancy, HardTimes released Roger Sanchez The Album and Todd Terry Live at HardTimes. Both would receive worldwide critical acclaim, be described as musical masterpieces and win club compilation of the year and a brilliant reflection of a night at HardTimes by the likes of Mixmag, DJ Magazine, Muzik Magazine and Billboard.
22 years on, we are set to release the follow-up to those two amazing compilations. So it's no surprise we have gone back to the two men who understand our unique musical ethos and have contributed more than anyone to our success - my friends Roger Sanchez and Todd Terry. Working together for the very first time they have both compiled and mixed HardTimes presents The Best of Times Album. HardTimes has always been about modesty. It's about making the most of what we have no matter how tough life can be. When you walk through the doors of the club that's full of like-minded clubbers,
all there to feel the vibe that's created by the DJs and the tracks they play, everything is forgotten.It's a wonderful experience that I've been able to help create. There is no greater feeling than witnessing a mass of people as they shift from listening to feeling the music and watching the club go off. When you connect with the music, that's when the magic happens. We have never been about glitter, gimmicks, bells and whistles. We play house music. That's what we're about. It's always been about the music. History shows HardTimes would be voted Mixmag club of the year and join a very elite group. Both Muzik Magazine and DJ Mag would also name HardTimes the number 1 night in the country.Our Best of Times Album is a true reflection of one of our magical nights. A mixture of old and current tracks that in their own way have all played a part in our success. Our history is our legacy and we are proud of it. However there are still many more magical nights to come and lots more music to make. Once again, thank you to my friends Roger Sanchez, Todd Terry and everyone else who has helped us along the way. There are far too many of you to mention.

12" EP sampler taken from the Nickodemus compiled Turntables on the Hudson Vol. 10 album released at the beginning of the summer. Big A-side cuts include Bonobo's latest anthem "Flashlight" and one of the biggest house tunes of the year, the absolutely massive Beatport chart topping Claptone remix of "Liquid Spirit" by Gregory Porter which sees it's FIRST EVER vinyl release on this 12". On the flip side, South Africa's Aero Manyelo gives us "Tshunga", a driving, pulsing African deep house track, while Pablo Sanchez takes New Zealand's Sorceress into dancefloor territory with his remix of "Brother Dragonfly

Cocoon Recordings is back on the track, just in time to start this years party season! And we are more than happy to present one of the men of the moment: Adam Port! There is no musical boundary for the 'keinemusik' artist and with 'black noise' he once more prooves his boogie bass feeling and delivers another release that will be a 'must play' in every good dj-set. And if that wouldn't be enough we give you a monster remix by mister Kink, defintely another star of the international techno- and house-scene. As you would expect he perfectly merges Adam Ports hypnotic percussion layout with the Kink-trademark-sounds and turns it all into another super cool oldksool-flashback-piece. This one will set all techno and house-floors for sure on fire - again! &ME - another 'keinemusik' labelmate of Adam Port who refers more to Ports original idea and gives his beats and sounds more air to breathe. The perfect tune to take your warm-up set to the next level and start the peak-time of the night. The right choice to prepare the dancefloor not to stop before sun will rise again! Last but not least the original track taken from Cocoon Compilation L

Halocyan outlines computer music's many future possibilities,
while remaining actively mindful of its one and only history.

Having released material from such luminaries as Dosem, Paul Woodford, Oliver Ho, Extrawelt, and Joey Beltram - Halocyan continues to assert its influence with their next record: a 2-part EP from Apollo and R&S affiliate Dave Angel.

Founder of Rotation Records and originally hailing from Chelsea, Angel is a Techno emissary whose intelligent, Funk-licked productions have propelled him through a long and illustrious career through which he has consistently branded his own stamp on Electronic Music whilst also remaining highly relevant to modern listeners.

We live a life in between exorcism and consumption, stirring up a piece of sh-which might be the forgotten, -the unexpected, -the unusual, -the left behind. Dust as a Metaphor for our repetitive culture, can`t be better chosen to head the Redust' EP on FormResonance. Grainy and with a sixth sense of its pulse, the tracks do emerge into a wide soundstream. Dust hereby transports a piece of wisdom: the sound signature. Knowledge which is inherent in class-a circuits, vinyl, or tape and which can be barely re"produced. Georg Stuby is already a DJ on stage, like Burning Man, Club der Visionäre... He resident in the Zürich Party Scene, teaches at the School of Sound and drops out some nice tips on his own blog: www.georgstuby.com The Redust EP is his debut release. Jonas & Christopher Lawrenz provide their experience with Georgs music, even longer.

CityDeep Music is back with another release from HawaBiza Project aka Tuccillo& Marasco. 2 different tracks, 2 different vibes. Bizasweetmix is a more of Balearic sound, while Hawadeepmix is a classic dance floor track. Gretchen Rhodes' vocals complete this package with her strong and solid presence.

The Deep House is the genre of reference that the author aims to customize in his title track 'Say What'. It is a ganglion of rhythm and foggy atmospheres where a voice reproduces a sort of rhyme. It is pretty similar to 'Revenge', where the loop cyclic effect is preferred to another though, and where the voice (reduced to a sharp tip) pierces the four quarters in place of the snare drum. Both tracks are presented in their remixed versions: the first made by Julie Marghilano and the second by Matthew Burton.

Audiothentica is back in the Game after two years of Recovering. With a techy and special 4-Track EP by Lukas&Merlin, a DJ-Fusion outta Gelnhausen, near Frankfurt. They started at the age of 17 in the attic of an abandoned neighboring house, trying out Ableton and Midi-Keyboards. Now they find there output on Audiothentica with Remixes by Sven Kerkhoff and Frank Leicher, which we not have to appoint more. We are very happy about that release and waive the description. All we have to say is that you´ll find a wide range of electronic music broaded an Intro-, Warm-Up-, Peaktime- and Afterhour-Track. Just have a listen, hope you enjoy.

Crecimiento's first release pairs two titans of the deep house scene. Michel Cleis (Cadenza/Pampa) delivers 'Hey Lady Luck', a driving and percussive garage production based around the 'Lady Luck' vocal from Jamie Woon. And on the remix, Freerange Records headhoncho, Jimpster, weighs in with a solid version, stripped back and hypnotising, he also provides an Instrumental for those who shy away from vocals. 'Hey Lady Luck' has its roots in the Ibiza season of a couple of years back, when Cadenza Records headhoncho Luciano began to play the original acapella over his sets, to rapturous reception. Since then, this fusion has resulted in a handle of unofficial versions, but it's been Michel Cleis who delivers to comprehensive house version of this cut, blending a new vocal delivery from Liam Bailey with a highly infectious, percussive garage vibe. Huxley (Hypercolour) - loving this, both mixes are ace, think I will play Jimpster's mixes the most though Fish Go Deep (Defected) - Nicely done, both Original and Jimpster remixes work for me, supporting! Simon Dunmore (Defected) - digging the Jimpster remixes Roger Sanchez (Release Yourself) - great record, playing on the radio show DJ Chus (Stereo) - Wow, what a bomb! Gorge (8Bit) - Cool remix and Original, will be supporting Halo (H-Foundation) - Love it, will play all mixes Alex Niggeman (Poker Flat) - Jimpster remixes for me Kevin Griffiths (Tsuba) - Jimpster Dub mix for me, thanks Julien Sandre (Morris Audio) - Great release from 2 amazing artists, I love the Original but it's the special Jimpster bomb remix for me Catz 'n' Dogz (Dirtybird) - Jimpster is the man! Waff (Hot Creations) - All nice tracks, but both Jimpster remixes for me Rocky (X-Press 2) - Jimpster remixes are great Moodymanc (2020 Vision) - two of the most origi

Delsin's next trick is a debut double 12" from Sentomea, an Amsterdam native, real name Sander Schuurman, you might not have heard of but a real synth freak. Exclusively producing his music in hardware-based live takes, and that gives rise to perfectly imperfect stuff that feels visceral and alive. Often making music with a visual connection, this EP is full of versatile 909 beats and fizzing electronic textures. 'Relative Solace' is up first and is a frosty house trip with bell textures and melancholic strings sounding all celestial and heavenly. 'Wander' is all about a sludgy 909 groove being lit up with bright strings and icy hi hat ringlets as dissonant pads stretch and skew all about the arrangement then 'Fortitude Boogie' has classic Detroit pads, a lovely broken rhythm and a funkateer bassline that makes the whole cut dance and emotional dance. 'Fluid' is more stripped back and clean, with rubbery 909 drums plodding below watery, gurgling synth sounds up top and this most expressive and textural EP closes with the experimental FM synthesis that is 'Matter' with its raw, off beat grooves and glassy surfaces, and finally 'Reminiscent,' a horizontal, star gazing cut that encourages you to lay back and day dream in the grass.

We take things to another level with select cuts from the superb 'Girl & Robot with Flowers' album remixed by Linkwood, Vakula, Lumiarja, Cherrystones and Francis Doosoo's Borrowed Breath all on lustrous green vinyl!

Who Whom is a new label curated by Scuba. The artists are various, the sound particular.The second 12' comprises tracks by Isaac Reuben, Glaskin, Palendrone and Markus Suckut and is titled 'Heavy On The Magick.

Vincenzo Maurices debut EP is a four-tracker, covering the range of hard hitting & distorted analog techno including a sturdy acid tinge while on the B2 we have Die Roh who delivers a perfect remix to bring the record back to it's shaky shaky house vibe.

After a short break, Retreat is back in full swing with its first 2011 release: an essential new installment in the infamous Treats series! Featuring exclusive tracks from Iron Curtis, Quarion and Session Victim, Treats Vol. 3 represents a fascinating snapshot of each artist's current musical evolution, whether it's Iron Curtis' own take on Detroit Techno, Quarion's stripped-down House with a twist or Session Victim's endless quest for the perfect groove.

Karim Sahraoui, known by releases on labels such as Transmat, Cocoon and ARTS, as well as DJ appearances on Boiler Room and on dancefloors all around the world, makes his debut on OFF Recordings. Book Of Life is a melodic techno track in Karim's signature style. Warm and emotional, albeit with a strong drive for the dancefloor, it can set a strong accent in a set. Italy's DAST created a slamming peaktime techno interpretation, which is sure to create a massive effect on the dancefloor. Syncopated chords and a rolling groove build towards an epic break. "Exodus" is aptly named as a perfect track to close the set by the end of the night. Lush and warm pads and melodies evoke a warm and optimistic atmosphere. Anton Pieete remixed Exodus with a minimalistic and more groove-focused interpretation. Altogether an EP with a timeless feel, spanning the borders between techno, house and electronica.

The ring master's voice booms through the arena's speakers. "Ladies and Vagabonds. Round Three just kicked off and both teams seem bent on wrapping this up with brute force. The Good Guys seem to be cornering their malevolent adversaries there, but wait! a swift jab to the jaw and Team Decent hits the canvas" Rising talent Tell (Beat-x-Changers, Banoffee Pies) from Paris handles the opening play for the Good Guys on the third missive of the fledgling Quartet Series imprint. Tell seems to confirm Paris is rapidly reclaiming its former status as a hotbed for raw and moody house music by offering up a delectable blend of lavish chords, distorted sounds and melancholic vocals. Darko Kustura (Pole Jam, What's in the Box) throws in some additional punches for the Good Guys. The Croation beatsmith might not be the most prolific but made a name for himself with an amazing ep on Legendary Sound Research under his Teleskop moniker and treats the crowd to a wobbling groovy baseline and sugary sweet chords. Being Bad can be a good thing sometimes as well. The dark side has cookies, after all. Mancunian Loz Goddard (Dirt Crew, Outplay, Razor-n-Tape) steps out of his comfort zone and delivers a sonic uppercut with a mad piece of swinging acid. Accompanying him on the team is our Hungarian BAL 5000 (SPIEL) who flexes his acid muscle to disorientate and a dubby bass to sedate. The acid is his, but he's willing to share. All in all we'll have a very interesting fight ahead of us. DING DING!

Lena Willikens is a secret encyclopaedia on everything Düsseldorf (see her involvement in Salon des Amateurs), everything Brussels, andeverything New Wave... that is barely the whole truth- it is actually justthe tip of the iceberg.
It is evident that she was raised on certain 20th-century avant-garde subjects and fantasies. (For example, like how to become a phantom) Since this education she has been travelling the world, continuing to distinctively converting those fantasies into the contemporary realness,fuelling twisted and contorted dance floor needs. It is striking- playing one of her inimitable sets - here was some white-Reebok-ed, Taeuber-Arp version of an oddball-Techno DJ who delicately refuses the obvious musical pattern of dance communication. Anyone can attest that has listened to "Sentimental Flashback" Lena's resident broadcast on Radio Cómeme. Cómeme has a notorious appetite for stars, shining in their own right. Lena Willikens is going to be a star. She already is.' says Cómeme artwork, costumes designer (and part-time clairvoyant) Sarah Szczesny. She already is.

Matic Sunset is the debut release by AEVA. The A side boasts a warm loopy drone tangled up with disintegrating percussion. On the other side, 'Octagon' is built on a range of percussive sounds, whilst the aptly named 'Departure' is a beatless synth led piece.

CVBox & Micha Freier transmitting signals from an ancient underwater metropolis.

Following on from this year's Hate/Love 12", E. Myers returns with more basement music in the form of 'Untitled'. The original will no doubt appeal to the House slickers that still like to go a little rogue.

For those who wanna get loose, turn to the 'Heat Mix' with it's sprinkling of Miami arriving at just the right season. Rounding it off, for those who always need one more, the 'Beat Mix' is a 4 minute drum middle of the night cap.

The music of Swedish producer Hans Berg often soundtracks sculptural installations produced in collaboration with his partner Nathalie Djurberg.
Working as an artistic duo since 2004, their output comprises animation, public sculpture, immersive environments and now, vinyl recordings taken from these same pieces. Berg brings his experience in house and techno music culture to bear on this cooperative process.
The first track began life as an accompaniment to the outdoor work In Dreams (2016), installed at the Wanås Sculpture Park in Sweden. A naturalistic soundscape of birdsong gives way to a wave of complex, driving synth-pop, itself a shimmering reflection of the riotous, mirrored floor that nestled in the forest glade.

Hakim Murphy has put on his HM505 lab coat and gone into the lab to make an HM505 record. What he's come out with is quite breathtaking. "The name HM505 comes from the university system in the USA. 505 signifies a Masters degree course, and HM505 is me bringing together the culmination of all my techniques (Hakim has a degree in music composition). Plus, I use a Kaoss pad when I'm HM505." This is a raw Chicago House record, and one sounding like it has been bleeped from the future to us. Like the early Detroit Techno records, this music leaves you wondering where it's from, who made it, when they made it.. and Where Can I Get It!

Second EP for spanish Piek (Sincopat, Sphera) on Einmusika. Soulfull

The four exclusive tracks will be released on COR12145 (12 Vinyl / Digital) Cocoon Recordings is proud to present the 4th edition of our inhouse-compilation-series Dots & Pearls". Cocoon Recordings never has been a narrow minded and singled sided techno label with just one style to refer to. The bandwidth of artists in the label roster such as Roman Flügel, Minilogue, Guy Gerber, Âme or even Boys Noize (just to name a few) proofs that Sven Väth and his label managers have always combined a wide range of techno and house subgenres throughout all the years. Electronic music for all different kinds of listening- and body-movement-purposes. Dots & Pearls' volume 4 is no exception to this, it is indeed another perfect mix-compilation that exactly refers to this very own style and label policy. Of course Markus Fix, as the man in charge here in terms of compiling and mixing the back-catalogue (combined with four brand new tracks), paints more of a tech-house coloured picture and follows his favourite genre thereby. However by selecting tracks and remixes from artists like Sven Väth & Roman Flügel, Mirko Loko, Tim Green, Einzelkind & Robin Schulz and even Ricardo Tobar & Lawrence, Fix simply shows how big the choice was he could pick his tools for this compilation. Markus Fix himself has contributed a previously unreleased track to the mix alongside his colleagues Argy, Christian Burkhardt and Jimi Jules.

The second instalment of the enigmatic Olympos series comes in the form of Apollo, recognised as the god of music, art, medicine and plague amongst other traits. The A side gets underway with the hypnotic cutter (a1) (ena), that intersects its atmospheric layers and solid bassline to a trippy effect while A2's (a2) (duo) consists of syncopated percussive elements swathed in blissful pads and acidic segments. Flipside's (b1(tria) returns to denser and more psychedelic waters that leads nicely to the breezy and gloaming vibes of (b2) tessera). All in all, a proper immersive head trip. Ltd hand stamped.
