With this new four-track EP by Rai Scott the slowly emerging producer moves away from being the enigma that appeared on a split 12" with Brad Peterson that launched the Inner Shift imprint in 2012. And by the sounds on this EP, she's someone to be noticed. Preceding her forthcoming debut on Ornate, Scott provides another four-track called Wave Sound for Inner Shift Music. It's the fourth release for the label this year and "We Love You" certainly earns its place as the record's A1; sweet and meaningful deep house. "Keep On" is a dubbed out, bassline driven tribal journey of drums and low-end rhythm completed by emotional chords that eventually takeover, while "Cats and Water" is on a funky, stripped-back and loopy '90s techno tip. And for some ambient fun that then turns house: "Sky In The Clouds" is a perfect B2. An exciting producer house communities worldwide should be talking about in the second half of this year

* Quotes: Lakker - Lovely stuff, lovely package. My favourite is the Killawatt track. Great groove and production, as with all his stuff. The Soft is a grower too.'
Tonka - if there's been a stronger debut than this in dance music I've never fucking heard it'
Jimpster - Just wanted to say a big thanks for the lovely vinyl that arrived this morning. Just listening now and the ThermalBear track has me hooked!Throwing Snow - Rarely do I have such a nice surprise through the post than when your record arrived.
I'm now on my third play through and it's stunning, I genuinely love every track Norman Nodge - thanks for sending me D001, I like every single one of them in its own way. If I had to name a favorite it would be The Soft´s track.
Andrew Ryce - I quite like it! All three tracks are nice in their own way... it definitely sounds like artists who don't normally do techno doing techno, and that has its pros and cons. Sounds pretty fresh' Tommy Four Seven - yes feeling all 3, esp Killawatt!'

* Derelicht provide evidence of their shackles-off approach' to producing exceptional electronic music in this their first sampler EP. Featuring The Soft, Killawatt & ThermalBear there is clear emphasis on an artist controlled environment where there are no constraints, no bias and no timelines.

* D001, Derelicht's first EP steers clear of any preconceived musical formulae, not catering directly for an insurgent techno or house crowd but for the lover of a more abstract and considered aesthetic.

* THE SOFT - ICARIA. Icaria is this live pulsating jam that we've played in our recent gigs but have not had the chance to record. The track has changed hugely since we first played it out but we wanted it to retain the same atmosphere it had as a live piece, so it's grown exponentially. We recorded the track at home in London using both live samples and hardware. The track focuses on the more hypnotic aspects of electronic and dance music, and draws influence from Krautrock and Minimalism as well as contemporary electronic artists such as Walls, Jon Hopkins and The Field.

* KILLAWATT - AEOLIS MONS. My main inspiration for 'Aeolis Mons' was a load of random field recordings that I've had in a folder for the last 3 years that I never did anything with. Since the only brief for this project was that there was no brief, I just dived into a track without thinking about anything, it was very spur of the moment and natural. Structure wise, I wanted to create something that built up and up in terms of energy, building to a climax and then breaking back down and fading away into the distance. It actually felt like I was writing the entire process of an intense trip condensed down into a few minutes.

* THERMALBEAR - CARPE NOCTEM. We're not going to blow smoke northwards on this one, or describe the deep inner adventure the 'artist' endured to discover this sound. Carpe Noctem is a simple sequence of tones and frequencies presented with (relative) harmonic sense against a backdrop of solid bottom end.... And while there might be a slight overuse of his new studio toy in here, we understand he has to justify the purchase to his better half or he'll be out on the street. If you have eyes I would recommend checking the vid, and the following buzzwords may help any budding journos out there, analogue delay, restraint, filters, pensive, phaser, cassette tape saturation, BOC.

* Press / Promotion: In House campaign, 100 vinyl hand-distributed to leading editors, artists and tastemakers. Key editorials through Inverted Audio, Ran$om Note, Slate The Disco, Magnetic Magazine, DJ Mag, Noise Porn, Mind Grub Audio, Portals, Elevated Culture. 3 x videos produced to support each track all hosted on Derelicht vimeo channel

Roland Tings is Melbourne's jack-track anomaly with a penchant for acid coastlines and nebulous rhythms. Still fresh off 12 releases for 100% SILK and Club Mod, the Melbourne producer dropped the stunning 'Who U Love' EP with us last spring, to critical acclaimand in anticipation for his debut whoch is finally here now. and what we are truly excited to present. Forged by Melbourne's forward-thinking nightlife institutions, Tings made his debut with the Milky Way EP on 100% SILK - the enigmatic dance imprint founded by Not Not Fun's Amanda Brown. Having laid the groundwork of a raw-satin aesthetic inspired by that of Larry Heard and Robert Hood, his sound was solidified on the Club Mod-released follow up Tomita's Basement, featuring remixes from Future Times' Maxmillion Dunbar and Junior Boys' Jeremy Greenspan. Functioning as club-ready oddities with neon finesse, his releases thrive as rhythmic visions pushing dancers into his very own modular oasis. Having toured across much of Australia and Europe, he's backed up headline club shows with appearances at MONA FOMA and The Meredith Music Festival as well as support slots for the likes of of Tim Sweeney and Juan Atkins for Modular's Sydney Festival showcase. Now riding with a tight community of Australian producers enjoying recognition around the world, Roland Tings' custom texture continues to fold into a vibrant late-night fabric accessed around the world and you will see this reflected by the goodness and versatility of the 10 tracks on this CD.

Anomaly, Fred P's techno alter ego drops a hot bomb. As a producer renowned for melodic, ultra-deep house, it's no surprise that his techno is as deep as a well. 3 tracks.

Strut return to the archives of seminal Chicago house label Dance Mania in January 2015 for 'Dance Mania: Ghetto Madness'. The follow-up to Strut's acclaimed Dance Mania label retrospective 'Hardcore Traxx' from early 2014, this new instalment places the spotlight on the raw, stripped back, hyper bpms of ghetto house and the rise of the movement's fresh generation of stars during the mid'90s including DJ Deeon, DJ Funk, Jammin' Gerald and DJ Milton.

The album tells the story of the evolution of Chicago's sound during the era as mix tapes circulated through local stores and DJs developed their own underground following, playing local parties in the projects. Crowds began responding to faster bpms and gangsta rap-inspired X-rated lyrics. As DJ Deeon remembers, 'it bridged the gap. It made it OK for guys in the ghetto to like house again and it brought the women onto the dancefloor too.' Dance Mania was perfectly positioned to capitalise on the new sound - many of the DJs came regularly into Ray Barney's record store and, as Chicago's most trusted and respected label owner, he was offered the best tracks for commercial release at an early stage.

'Ghetto Madness' brings together some of the underground classics and enduring favourites that earned Dance Mania the title of 'Ghetto House's Motown'. Tracks include DJ Deeon's party-starter 'The Freaks', raw DJ Funk cut 'Computer Sex' and Nina Kraviz favourite, Paul Johnson's 'Give Me Ecstacy'. Other featured gems from the archive include the dark early Steve Poindexter outing 'Computer Madness' and Tyree's in-demand jam, 'Nuthin' Wrong'.

'Dance Mania: Ghetto Madness' will be released in 1CD unmixed, 2LP and digital formats. Physical formats are fully illustrated in raw ghetto style by James Wilson and also feature CD a fold-out poster featuring an exclusive James Wilson illustration featuring the Dance Mania DJs as tattoos!

Back from a brief hiatus from solo output, Lee Curtiss follows up the masterfully naughty 'Lunatic Fringe' EP with another heavy dose of dancefloor debauchery for own imprint Visionquest. Showcasing his undeniable flair for libidinous club music with a hint of the unusual, Lee takes time out from producing his upcoming album to deliver two killer originals for 'The Ride EP'. A­-side 'Drink Tickets' is a suitably dusky and contorted trip with a growling modulated bassline, pseudo-sinister vocal and kinetic groove while B­-side 'Dancing Girls', a collaboration with his Chicago partner in crime, Nick Bassett ­ is a simmering hypnotic summertime affair with a filtered 90s feel and dirty funk bassline combined with sonically sophisticated detail.

A veteran of the electronic music scene, Lee Curtiss has successfully straddled the industry's many contradictions, releasing hits as exquisitely crafted and mentally twisted as they are in global demand. As a founding father of Visionquest's forward thinking outfit and label and a DJ renowned for mining the depths of dance music's history at establishments such as DC10 and fabric, Lee Curtiss is a true eccentric and innovator guaranteed to deliver a sonic melting pot of humour, sex and funk.

Initially making his mark as a producer with releases on Spectral, Get Physical, Supplement Facts, and Wolf & Lamb, two of Lee's biggest hits, the Visionquest remix of 'Good Voodoo' remix and 'Smoking Mirrors' were in RA's top tracks of 2011 and out of the techno realm, Lee's remixed the likes of Tracey Thorne and David Lynch. Since then there have been massive releases on Culprit (Candy EP feat. Matt Tolfrey) and of course with the 'Lunatic Fringe EP' on Visionquest.

Nick Bassett is a true gentleman helping to shape the new chapter of Chicago's long history of dance music, a spokesperson for the futuristic sounds of modern deep house, and a devoted student of electronic music's past. Nick grew up in the academic cornfields of Urbana, Illinois, with extended visits to a village in West Africa. He's lived the last seven years as a proper Chicagoan in the Windy City. Nick's life has been influenced as much by art and design as it has by the explosion and reinvention of new house music and digging for classic 90s vinyls. Nick's music selection has been described as 'elegant yet understated...dripping with passion, sweat, and creativity.' Bringing these qualities to his music production promises to catapult his career another great step forward.

"What $ Love" is one of Romanthony's rarest songs. The original house mixes - only ever released on the fleeting US imprint Vinylmania - is one of his most sought after pieces of vinyl with pristine copies selling for upwards of £100. Roman did make an R&B version on his Glasgow Underground album but the house mixes with their low-slung dubby organ & bass grooves are the real dj deal.

The classic cut from the Vinylmania 12" (Roman's Remix) is included here, as are three new mixes from Supernova, Christian Nielsen and Those Beats.

Christian Nielsen delivers possibly the most club-friendly mix on the package, taking Roman's vocals on a tough, percussive, jacked-up house groove. Supernova add a touch of hypnotic beauty choosing to sample of Roman's voice and layering them over a sublime groove. Lastly, Glasgow's finest Those Beats add a touch of jazz giving this classic track the kind of workout you'd expect from someone like Pal Joey or the Rednail Kidz.

The house leaning off shoot of Fachwerk Records hits release number three here with a two track release from Reno Wurzbacher, the 'housemate cousin' of the crew who has already turned up on the label a couple of times. First up is the coy melancholia and pillow-y deep house of 'The Love You Got'. It's a grainy cut with grey scale textures and sultry voices contained with in the sparse groove. It strikes a nice late night mood before German master of the deep Sven Weisemann turns in his own remix. This version is more upright and weighty, with bulbous synth lines dropping into the mix, which is already awash with rippling pad puddles. Early in the evening, late in the night, either way both tracks here hit their intended mark perfectly....
