German duo Avidus bring their spellbinding style to Crosstown this March. The pair have conceived a four track EP that serves to showcase their unique sound.

Avidus have produced a mesmerising EP that submerges the listener in an intriguing sonic soundscape. On title track XII prominent drums arise alongside dramatic strings that create a track full of suspense. Psalm 23 opens with an ethereal vocal sample that bleeds into a high-octane beat that's pacing and intense. On the flip, Lux is a dreamy and emotive number, calmer than its predecessors with a breathtaking breakdown, whilst last year's Revenge Of The Whales gets a rework for Crosstown.

Hailing from Kiel in North Germany Fritz Wagner and Marc Wolf, aka Avidus, have forged a strong partnership over the years. Fritz began producing music in the late 90s, making Hip Hop beats and pop music before moving on to house. During his early years, Marc produced backing tracks for hardcore bands before DJ'ing at illegal, outdoor raves. He started his own night ENDVR at Kiel's Luna Club, where he invited guest such as Âme, Roman Flügel, Barnt and Marcus Worgull. Their diverse musical tastes and influences are apparent in their music, which refuses to be confined to any one genre. The duo launched their own imprint Empore Music in 2014 that has charted releases from Johannes Albert amongst others.

Blend Architect is a techno producer out of Japan in the lineage of DJ Nobu or Ken Ishii. 'Uncloud' - his very first release - is composed by 2 movements with 2 variations each.

Cloud 1.1 sets the initial atmosphere for 1.2 to jump in and offer a more tense body that will play deeply with our intellect and physicality. An apparent minimal universe but full of subtle details.
Cloud 2.1 opens the B side with a futuristic high voltage cut. Finally, Cloud 2.2 brings the time back to present tense and the dance continues!

Limited retail edition in double transparent yellow vinyl.
Explosions in Slow Motion is the new album from Brock Van Wey's transcendent bvdub project.
Van Wey's previous n5MD album Heart- less found him harnessing the turmoil around him to create something vast, emotive, and brooding, yet somehow comforting, allowing you to cradle in its weight.
Months after Heartless' release Van Wey moved from turbulent times of his native California home to the chilling winter of Warsaw Poland. A divergence. Alone against the icy cold, confined to the indoors in search of protection against the world outside, Van Wey channeled, as he always does, his surroundings as they coalesced with his self-imposed aberration. The outcome of this move, and period of near total isolation, is Explosions in Slow Motion.
Featuring four long-form songs accompanied by four 'ember' vignettes, Explosions in Slow Motion is quite possibly Van Wey's most mournfully isolated work in his massive discography to date.
Filled with swelling arcs of spectres from the past appearing then slowly drift away. Foggy memories of friends, loved ones, and even adversaries seem to achingly sweep across Explosions in Slow Motion's eighty-minute runtime.
There is a forlorn thread of shrouded nostalgia throughout the album which by album's end leads to catharsis, acceptance and the finality of progres- sion.

Cell Out lurk in the murk of that Solent Estuarine backwash.
Tense breaks hold the lid on rave licks - padded mists provide audile sanctuary.Transcendence found in an Oblong Room; the dragons tail of an apocalyptic blowout.

Blasting UK Hard techno dancefloor pearl !

After the success of the digital release of Motorik Voodoo Bush Doof Musik last summer, HAAi is now preparing to release her first ever full length EP on vinyl.

Speaking about the EP, HAAi says: 'This EP was made after I realised that what inspired me most was to combine my love of electronic music with the music I enjoy outside of the club. I decided to collaborate with friends from a couple of my favourite bands, including Fay Milton (Savages) who provides live drums on Motorik Bush Doof Musik and Taigen Kawabe (Bo Ningen) who performs on I Never Cared That Much For Jungle. For me, having live instrumentation on the EP adds an extra depth to the tracks & has given me a vision of how I'd like future releases to sound.

My fave track off the EP, Growing Up With Muscle Cars, is an homage to my step dad who repairs and restores old muscle cars. He also used to take me to the drags in my hometown when I was little. We would push the race cars out onto the track. Some of my favourite memz as a lil kid.'

'Your Disk Is Full' is an atmospheric EP opener, and also became a favourite set opener for Denis Sulta and other DJs over the summer. Title track 'Motorik Voodoo Bush Doof Musik' raises the tempo with shimmering percussion and psychedelic looping vocals over a propulsive sub bass, prompting fans to ask for IDs in HAAi's recent mixes.

'I Never Cared That Much For Jungle' features the distinctive vocals of Taigen Kawabe of Japanese noise band Bo Ningen. The echoey samples are paired with a heavy hitting jungle-influenced production tailor made for the larger clubs and festivals HAAi is increasingly playing. A dub version of this track is also included in the package.

'Growing Up With Muscle Cars' brings a climactic end to the EP. Over the course of over ten minutes, the ambient intro gives way to an emotive breakbeat, with rumbling sub bass and glitchy synths making for a rich, multilayered production.

'Motorik Voodoo Bush Doof Musik' garnered widespread critical acclaim, not only from club rotation but also with plenty of radio airtime across BBC Radio 1, 6Music and Worldwide FM. The tracks gained even further recognition when HAAi included them in her award winning BBC Radio 1 Essential Mix.

The release comes just ahead of HAAi's landmark all night headline show at Mick's Garage on the 16th March - her first since the end of her celebrated Phonox residency. Her international tour schedule continues to fill up, with dates at Sonar Istanbul & Barcelona, Beat Hotel Marrakech, Paris's Concrete, DGTL, Nuits Sonores, Field Day and Love International in Croatia being just a few upcoming highlights.

A total acid bath, with some trance tribe accent... A style is born with this one ! Liquid transcore !

"Hepta" is the greek word for the number seven. Significant, full of knowledge and symbolism; these metaphoric fields are associated since the beginning of Ownlife. It is also the title of the new release on the platform. This time, as it happens regularly since its creation, signed by the ideologist, Leiras.
Another four tracks that anticipate some of the sounds that will appear in future deliveries, entering into unexplored lands until this date.
The record opens with an homonym track. Synths with pure voltage nuances around layered kicks that characterizes this perfect cut for long mixes. "Nubian Legacy" combines the oneiric landscapes with the ambient and techno in an unprecedented way for Ownlife.
On the "B side", we can find the atemporal functionality of "Neopagan" to the cold and physical techno of "Hepta End" whose final part leaves open the continuation of this chapter.

Four tough, analogue acid jams from Glasgow newcomers, each with an individual flavour. Nods to the 90s Acid Techno golden era of Drop Bass Network and Acid Planet.

E-Missions co-founder P.Leone returns to Radio Slave's Rekids this March with four techno cuts entitled 'Moments Of Peace Within'.

Tapped as one of Mixmag's '25 Artists You Need To Watch In 2019', P.Leone is a musician, DJ and producer from New York, who often spins at clubs like Panorama Bar and ://about blank having moved to Berlin. Following his two debut releases on Spencer Parker's Work Them Records, P.Leone launched his respected E-Missions alongside Caiazzo in 2017- putting out quality music from emerging talent such as False Witness, CYD, Tred and Rush Plus.

Meanwhile, P.Leone has dropped two releases on Matt Edwards' influential Rekids imprint, as well as collaborated alongside Radio Slave for a remix of Deep Dimension 'So 1992'. He now returns for his third release, following releases from SRVD (Matt Edwards & Patrick Mason), Mark Broom and Nic Fanciulli.

'Walked Into My Life' offers slow psychedelic guitar notes with fluttering vocals over driving drums, before 'What Could I Have Done' delivers a sporadic kick pattern dispersing delayed stabs and metallic sounds. 'Wrong Muse' presents a damaging beat amidst rattling atmospherics and low groans, before 'The First Vision' plays shining chords on soulful vocal chops and unearthly FX.

After the praise for Morning Worship, released back in 2015 on Royal Oak, Portuguese duo Sabre returns to releases with the EP "Fora de Turf", pointing directly towards the dance floor. There is in "Fora de Turf" a certain idea of transient existence as a series of car journeys cruising the night with no clear sense of direction, recalling the gradual disappearance of public space and loss of community. The weight of Kraut references such as Kraftwerk's Autobahn or Stratosfear by Tangerine Dream is somehow clear in its alignment with a 1995 Carl Craig who had just released Landcruising

On the A side, 'Condor Sense' and 'Sem Terra'. The first one is a banger built around broken beats and repetitive synth chords that guide us through the drone landscapes on the background, very clearly marked by the 808's rhythms. The second one is anchored in a broken kick and on a growing acid line, punctuated by warm chords and some sliced pads that reminds us of the pulsating heart of the city of Detroit.

On the B side, "Condor Senses" and "Driving Bruno" got some sort of a gliding character. "Condor Senses" is the only track on the EP to accept the classic four-on-the-floor to guide some dubby chords along a quieter landscape where organic and natural sounds lurk. Is it dawn arriving No. On the last track of the album, "Driving Bruno," Sabre get in the car and step on the throttle, full speed, on a bassline that could resemble some synthwave releases if synthwave had been lucky enough to be born a decade earlier and in the center of the state of Michigan.

Soela serves up four deep and dreamy jams for Shall Not Fade's sub-label Lost Palms.

Party time melodious tribecore !

Goes Noord is back! Genosha 21 sees the The Outside Agency collaborate with four different artists from all corners of the world on the third volume of their label's Goes Noord vs the Rest of the World collaboration series. Fracture 4, Broken Rules, Dep Affect and Sei2ure all stepped up to help deliver four awesome tracks ranging from 155 to 160 BPM with ridiculously loud ride cymbals. Highly recommended for fans of super loud ride cymbals and people who are into good music.

"Masters of minimal groove - Ukrainian duo "Yate" comes next on Mind Series, delivering three, dark mood originals @ Flex EP."

This Animistic Beliefs & Legowelt collaboration tape started out as a scene in Anna Bogomolova'& Dammes Kieft's upcoming full length 'Stroboscopes & Smokemachines' documentary - a film in which they research the Dutch West Coast electronic music landscape. The scene however soon morphed into its own mini film - documenting the entire process on how this tape was conceived. Packed with Animistic Beliefs & Twilight Moose style electro, amateur space jazz ambient with a touch of G-funk and a very intense trip-infused hypnotic techno track! Written and produced by Linh Luu - Marvin Lalihatu and Danny Wolfers at the North Sea Institute For The Overmind.

Born in Venezuela and based in Barcelona, Luis Garban aka Cardopusher has spent the last decade creating a wide variety of noisy dancefloor assaults. Although his roots lie in the breakcore scene, he's slowly gravitated toward a raw, electro-infused take on techno that is no less compelling. Along the way, he's released music via labels like Terminal Dusk, Murder Channel, Hyperdub, and Tigerbeat 6, and has also found the time to launch his own Classicworks imprint, which he continues to run alongside co-founder Nehuen. Cardopusher has also forged a relationship with German bass enthusiast Boys Noize, issuing a pair of EPs as well as two full length albums.

We are proud to present a new 6-track EP titled 'Muscle Memory' that takes the listener on a deep and gritty ride through his diverse sound, from techno to electro, acid, rave, and house. Luis is inspired by labels like Warp, Schematic, Planet Mu, Rephlex, as well as EBM and New Beat. Hard-smacking claps and raw TB-303 sequences merge with robotic vocals, solid and perfect for dark dance floors. The B-side features one track with haunting guest vocals by fellow Barcelona musician, Ivy Barkakati. Luis says the main themes of this EP are obscurity, desperation, confusion, nostalgia, escaping the world's indifference. All songs have been mastered for vinyl by George Horn at Fantasy Studios. Housed in a workout themed die-cut jacket designed by Eloise Leigh with raw acid-style mixed bold type and sporty graphics.

This record was strictly limited to 300 copies, these are the last remaining copies

NO REPRESSES

Four floor fillers sourced from the Rising High Tape Archive of 880 Tapes and assorted sampler disks. We have lost count of how many Rising High titles we have restored in the last two years but it is over 250 and we are still only scratching the surface.

Two of these gems made it to the Rave compilation series, "Noise 3". The compilation tracks are that classic 1992 SL2 inspired sound that was so popular, using the same vocal sample as the Tango Project 1 Remixes "Original Rub-A-Dub-Style".

The unreleased tracks are a Belgian style hoover track that would of been at home on early KMS Records or R&S Records and a pounding trippy Acid Techno banger. Check out the You Tube video play list as words do not do them justice.

ad ass a-side with this long progressive tune of acid cheap kick... that can sound really good on a sound system, but soudns so low-fi on a HiFi^^... The flip offers 2 jewel of minimalItalian hardtek. A rising style that gonna boost the dancefloor up to crazyness ! MASSIVE IS THE LAST TUNE !! SOLID SHIT BABY !!

Time for a little Recognition... Pets welcome a true Polish techno founding father to the fold: Jacek Sienkiewicz. DJ since the early 90s, producer since the late 90s and one of the earliest artists to stamp their country down on the techno map; Jacek was one of the first Polish producers to be signed by the likes of Trapez, Cocoon and Klang and laid down the foundations for the likes of Pets founders Catz N Dogz several years later when they emerged as 3 Channels. OG status confirmed, he's remained just as consistent as he is influential. This single is proof: 'SU17' is a bubbling sine cauldron that starts with a simmer but builds to a boil with its ever-morphing, lava-like flow. Expert drum momentum and sudden layers of instrumental help to create a fluid three-track-in-one experience that spellbinds you crowd for the entire eight minutes without realising. 'Mustang' is a cascading synth odyssey that gently rises and falls like an Escher looped staircase. Gradually building in momentum with more of Jacek's signature hypnosis flare, it's not until the drums double up with an almost live-style visceral feel that you realise just how high Jacek's taken you. It comes complete with a star-lit switch from Berlin's serial innovator Tobias, where the synths are deftly refocused and a whole layer of orchestral delight are layered within. The perfect way to follow up last summer's reissue of his 2002 track 'Case Filter' on 'Friends Of Pets Part 3', Jacek and Pets feedback loop of roots, inspiration and future is beginning to warm up...

300 releases Let's let that sink in for a moment. 300 chapters in the on-going tale of Ovum. Chapters written for the dancefloor from the heart over the course of 25 years by some of the greatest names to ever touch the controls; King Britt to DJ Sneak, Levon Vincent to Loco Dice and so many luminaries in between. Including Josh Wink. The man in the nucleus. The man who takes the honour of the 300th release with a song that resonates with his deepest core energies and sonic ideology. His 'Aries In Mars'
"When playing this new track for the family at home. My partner stopped what she was doing and started dancing. Afterwards she waxed her feelings from the song saying how strong she felt from it and commented about how it seemed based on my astrological sign of my ruling planet Mars being in my Aries, and how the track had strong, powerful, fiery and fierce fast paced animalistic passion. So I said 'Wow. Okay.' I went into the studio the next day and added the vocal, switching the two as it had a better rhythmic flow."
That flow needs to be heard to be understood; 'Aries In Mars' is a wily, bouncing eight minute Ovum opus that twists and turns and ricochets with physical acid charm, rolling beats and breakbeat vapour trails. It fizzes with every element of Wink's signature but is delivered with a refreshed perspective and sense of vitality. Naturally it comes with the all essential drum and vox versions for that full creative mixing spirit that Ovum has always encouraged. For those moments when all your selector stars have aligned.
Your sun, your moon, you're very welcome. The story continues

Once again the FTSK brings a secure fat acid mental and melodious dimension... Sweet sound, pure evolutions and bended kicks... Insuring a dancefloor confort and a sweet mental sound... With this Oriental melody shped in a TB303, or this whistle of an acid on the last tune from Maddike... Superb release.

Berlin collective Mechatronica continues their limited, vinyl-only White series dedicated to sounds across synth, new wave, EBM, italo and electro, with a split EP by Danish producer Nixxon and Italian dance wave wizard Franz Scala.

Nixxon's gloomy, cosmic electro slow-roller opens Mechatronica White 2, followed by the heavier sounds of West, driven by razor-sharp synth stabs, voodoo percussion and a colossal bassline to boot.

On the flip, Franz Scala meshes italo, acid and spacey synth grooves into two effective anthems for the floor, destined to move bodies and transport minds. No repress!

With the Audiothentica 007, the DJ and producer Sascha Lebemann from Frankfurt is returning to the sound production scene after a few years. After the Audiothentica 001, he is responsible for the seventh Release on his own label. On the latest AT Records, he was releasing the Output from Acts like Martin Woerner, Franksen, Dominik Musiolik, Broombeck or Frank Leicher. As a longtime resident DJ of the most important and high-quality event series in Frankfurt, Lebemann is constantly setting new standards, also as a signpost for the next generations.

With LIVING, he is releasing an EP away from the current techno hype. In Advance, the four tracks have already been created within the last six years. Minimal Techno works, with a slight tech-housy influence. Extremely groovy. His personal tributes to his experience.

LIVING - The title track promises a hymn-like feeling. Summery grooves, percussions and synths push the track to the limit of the euphoria.

Arrival - This production can be compared with a landing of extraterrestrials. An extremely powerful tune, which should convince everyone from the second break at the latest. More Groove goes barely.

Los Elefantes Ibicencos - The Ibizan elephants. Having lived for two years in Ibiza, and still loving the island far away from commercialization, the Lebemann processes his feelings for the magical island in one track. Beading Claps and Snares, Spilled Percs - Los Elefantes Ibizencos grooved into the listener's ear.

Lost in Sao Paulo - When the young Lebemann was still on tour with one of the most important electro musicians of our time - in Brazil, more precisely in the 25 million city Sao Paulo. Here you can lose yourself quickly. In this track, however, you will be more likely to find yourself. Warm basses stimulate the synapses of the listener. Lost in Sao Paulo has the same Anthem-Character as the title track Living.

Audiothentica wishes you lots of fun with the latest output, looking forward to every feedback and, of course, about any kind of support.

Stanislav Tolkachev is releasing a new double-LP through Krill Music called It Will Be Too Late Then.

The Ukrainian techno artist says he made the album by assembling tracks recorded over a three-year period, and he notes somewhat cryptically, "I think this record represents a phase."

As with most of Tolkachev's releases, the album will feature his own visual art on the cover. Krill Music, a Berlin-based label originally founded six years ago in Buenos Aires, is having it pressed in Argentina to support "the growth of the Latin American vinyl industry."

Tolkachev, who previously appeared on Krill Music with a track on a sampler 12-inch nearly two years ago, just put out a new EP on Mord. Rivet's Pohjola outlet repressed his 2011 ten-inch Why Are You So Frightened. He also recently shared a stream of an electro tune that's apparently coming out Umwelt's New Flesh label next year.

Techno stars collide as Truncate and Slam come together for the latest Gynoid release "Drum Trax". Side A sees Truncate return on the label with 2 original pieces in 'Model 2' and the title track, 'Drum Trax'. Both dipped in that Truncate signature floor driven minimalist funk and backed with tough percussion for drive. These are surefire DJ faves waiting to happen. The flip side sees Slam remix 'Model 2', not once but twice. The 'Slam Remix' charts darker and brooding territory, taking you deep into the rabbit hole. Then the 'Tenebris Dub' remix still maintains that mood, but shifts through the energy gears to develop into a dance floor bomb.

Supported by: Advanced Human, Psyk, Rraph, Dubiosity, Electric Rescue, Coeter, Cari Lekebusch, Zadig, Roberto, Ground Loop, Craig McWhinney, Jeroen Search, Len Faki, Flug, Kwartz, Mary Velo, Speedy J, Antonio de Angelis, Par Grindvik, DJ Hyperactive, Cassegrain, Asio, Chris Liebing, Fanon Flowers, D-Unity, Hans Bouffmyhre, Mr. Bizz, Alex Costa, Kristian Heikkila...

Banging Melodious Mental Tribecore ! Abandonned Madhouse Freaky Concept.

First production of the label Sound Crack Records, 'Organic Feeling (Tool
Mix)' is a run through the jungle, savage, tribal, the raw nature animals of
Mama earth bring the feeling of being in the middle of them, the TR08 add a
kick to the efficient duo live drum Fleury Saint Denis. A real tool for house
and techno DJ's to pump the energy to the top.
On the B side comes 'Before Midnight (Evolution Mix)'. This techno track is a
trip in the urban jungle, when the city sounds are coming out of nowhere, the
melody of the steel tongue drum live played by DJ GSD is bringing the human
vibration to heal the soul. An old school touch of Detroit techno, mix with a
meaningful speech of Kennedy will take you travelling through the evolution of
mankind.

ESS - Sometimes we need to revisit the past to discover the future. That's why we are so happy to present the incredible Electronic Speech Systems 'Capsule Collection' (by Dublin's electro modular warrior DeFeKT). A selection of his finest works from his three only releases in 2011 on 'New Flesh', 'Takeover Recordings' & 'AC Records' have been remastered to form an electro tour de force.

We pull the trigger with his deadliest of weapons 'Trigger My Sequencer'. A full throttled four-to-the-floor doppler dance werk out. The expelling of his drexciyan demons continues with the polar cap melting 'Thermo Drive', a deep dive into aquatic funk & electro dub waves.

On the flip, slicing chord stabs and pulsing signals launch us back into the milky way with 'Halley's Comet'. The fusion of Kraftwerk inspired grooves & pulsing alpha juno synth lines pair perfectly to make it a certified electro cult classic. Lastly JX10 brings it home with a beautiful arrangement and showcase of perfectly executed electronic architecture, leaving us speechless.

We are proud to welcome the Greek Live duo act 'Jokasti & Nek' to the GFR Family. Their latest Cerebral EP displays their vision of techno's future. All 3 tracks are stacked with quality raw techno horsepower. Cerebral opens up with melodic high pitched synth lines chasing their signature driving kick drum ring leading sound followed by the intense Half broken beat remix which is pure pressure

From Endlec. The B1 track Lullaby is a modern acid masterpiece stripped back with a unique vocal which crushes the dancefloor. Closing the record is 'Operator' which powers on with Eratic toms and a firm kickdrum, which delivers pure techno at its finest. Hold on tight and turn it up as this EP brings the Fucking Hammers to GFR once again.

Techno release from the Finnish capital, living legend bangs it out!

Serotonin Record's epic odyssey to bring endless funk to the world has again found a deep vain of grooves to mine. Hot off of our latest compilation pushing the boundaries of the Serotonin sound we offer a split EP direct from the New York City electronic underground.

Having all the features of a Serotonin classic, SER-024 Neurotic Drum Band - The Last Parabola /Ulysses - Palefinger is a 3 track split EP with a loop and locked grooves. As the 'Neurotic Drum Band,' Elliot Taub aka Ulysses and John Selway combine their formidable talents to keep dance music fun, mixing elements of classic House, Disco, Techno, Electro and random audio weirdness into a genre-defying mish-mash that excites the ears and tickles the fancy.

When it comes to new music from Ulysses, you never know what you're going to get. His productions span across genres. His love of obscure Disco and Techno led to experiments in the studio, toying with disparate sounds such as noise, pop, rock-n-roll, ambient, reggae, blues, funk, electro, new wave and hard techno, with every release delivering an exciting musical surprise.

An essential pioneer of the late-90s electro scene in New York, Ulysses threw some of the biggest large-scale electro parties with legends such as Alexander Robotnick and Arthur Baker, as well as stars like I-f, Adult, and Miss Kittin and the Hacker. Over the span of his eclectic discography, this Brooklyn-based DJ and music producer has collaborated many including Thugfucker's Holmar Filipsson as Filipsson & Ulysses as well as with John Selway in the prolific Neurotic Drum Band.

The Idealist has a lifelong background in out there electronic music and has been suffering just as long from a deep dub passion, which has been present in his works with outfits as Saturn and the Sun, The Skull Defekts, Orchestra of Constant Distress, and numerous collabs. But the dub has never been in full focus. Not until now. Two cuts recorded at the Gothenburg Sound Experiment; "Inner Space Dub" which is a sick, capturing thing and the flipside, "The Fire of Moses Dub" which features vocal by the legendary Genesis Breyer P-Orridge of Psychic TV and Throbbing Gristle. Dub music as close to the late 70's industrial music scene as classic Jamaican stuff which the Idealist loves to the bone. Passionate, honest music which pays tribute to its influences but also succeeds to look forward into the eternal future.

Leipzig-based producer Varum dropping 4 raw, unpolished Electro tracks that breath live jam energy and lo-fi charm. Rooted in the classic sound of Detroit, he adds his own ingredients to the mix, delivering pulsating rhythms and driving melodies guaranteed to rock the dance floor.

Tucked away in a shed in Portland, Best Available Technology continues to cultivate an unmistakable sound grown around a seemingly untiring exploration of the machines that he works with. Across 'Enginetics & Plasmalterations' his densely layered sonic design agglutinates with a healthy appreciation for the unplanned or unexpected, forming a polymorphic collection of tracks for the 6th release from 12th Isle. While more traditional means of classification have become increasingly insufficient, it wouldn't be unfair to suggest that the music on this record bears a mutated resemblance to stuttered Downtempo or the dubbier side of Techno and Bass, connected by way of tonal plasticity through drone-jams and intermittently skewed synth loops.

Despite the frustrating limits of language surrounding music, we're incredibly happy to welcome B.A.T. to the label with this release and would be well enough compacting the overview of it to the near molecular level by borrowing a phrase from the artist himself - Sonics Proper!

Blint004 brings another two tracker from the Berlin based producer. 'Idolize Your Future' on the A side is driven by a restless bassline, accompanied by a small battalion of marching claps.

The Track on the flipside is 'Hiding In Leaves', like a poisenous snake, with sharp-bleeping elements, ready to bite and quickly disapear in the undergrowth.

On A side, electronic music wizards Kompozyt team up with a Dub Legend Lee 'Scratch' Perry to bring you a heavy-hitting and instant bounce-inducing Dub Techno track 'Hidden Force'. Lee Scratch Perry's amazing and charismatic Dub poetry blends superbly with the neat fusion of spacey and subterranean sounds of Kompozyt productions. The single is not to be missed this summer.

On B side, Kompozyt brings you a 7' version of 'Homesick' - Dub and Trip-hop inspired Experimental Electronica with Olgierd Dokalski on the trumpet. Olgierd's incredible performances of real haunting beauty further reinforce the analog, live and improvisational aspect of Kompozyt's music.

Both tracks come from Kompozyt's debut album: 'Synchronicity' - out everywhere now on CD and DL.

5/5 Jorn Kirk (DJ Jay Kay) (Faith Sundays): 'very nice album !!! a joy to listen to'

Hot on the heels of his acclaimed album "Traveller", finnish duo Morphology delivers four new electro/nix killer cuts for your pleasure. Conceptualized as a reminder of all the bright and dark places that have trodden in recent months, 'Collective Memory EP' fully illustrates the analog brilliance and multifocal dancefloor dazzling that his reputation always delivers. The perfect future funk soundtrack for exploration.

One of Nosedrip's favourite Belgian releases from the early '90s reissued on STROOM. Trance / New Beat embodied as a shovel in mud

We have some 'Food for Thought' for you. On BAS007 Tripeo experiments with a diverse spectrum of motives. Three tracks, striking different cords with the inclined listener and an addition with Georgian flavor. Title track 'Food For Thought' starts off as a classically orchestrated techno track. With 'Resist' we dive into an electro-driven sketch and a bass line, lurking behind melodic corners. But it's the B side where Tripeo's wit unfolds: 'Tuesday Blues' comes along as a reminder to embrace joy on the worst day the of the week after a weekend to remember. Our very own HVL turns the track into a rolling and tripping beauty on B2

Schmer has tried to stop, we've all gone into therapy, but there's no hope, short of setting the world ablaze: we can't stop smoking! 2019 see's Schmer pressing TECHNO records in the EU and PRICED in Europe as a domestic release. As if the continent didn't already have enough problems, here we come with our latest COMPILATION!

First to drop a match is Amber Shoshona aka Bastet. She is a live electronic music performer and DJ based in Baltimore, MD USA. Her live set is coarse-grained and atmospheric, developing a slow-burning, hypnotic groove. In the studio she creates genre bending electronic experiments. For Schmer she made 'Torn', which sneaks right up to you and lights you up.

Delivering oil to the blaze from deep in the Russian arctic is Maxim Makarenko aka 777minus111. The unknown hero from the Russian Techno label he remains in the shade and keeps it real! He runs underground parties in Moscow and is a member of Vinyl Ambulance project in India. He keeps our compilation 'Getting Dirty Quick' with his Dan Bell inspired MINIMALISM.

On the flip the fires start with Vague Audio Tapes label head Dominic Martin aka Hero/Victim. Hero/Victim is a sonic attempt at translating unanswered and unheard emotions. Visceral and physical; so as to both, engage and purge the evolving dissonance. Never content. With sound as a context-sensitive metaphor, stories are heard. He also makes weird electronic music and then Schmers all over us with a 'New Stress'.

Schmerhead BPMF hides a track from another release in this inferno. Its super short as in it goes on FOREVER with a LOCKED GROOVE at the end. If you're gonna be an emcee, do it in a Wormhole on a LOCKED GROOVE so that the rock will never stop.

Liza Weinstein, Zach Vietze and Jason Szostek were Jack Move. In 1994 they may have made two tracks together, but this is the only one we found lying around in the basement floor. Long before the skinny jean hipsters were rocking beats deliberately designed to confuse the dance floor with their lack of flow, The Jack Movers were experimenting with cryptic funk... It was a Jack Move on their part and they immediately ran out of town to escape retribution, leaving behind their 'Krippy Shit'.

We Can't Stop Smoking so you'll always be able to find us because where there's smoke, there's fire... and where there's TECHNO there's SCHMER!

DJ Overdose is back again on your favorite record label, Dalmata Daniel, this time sharing a record with an old-school legend from the land of Dalmatas and Daniels, Sematic4.

Both sides are full of great tunes of hard-hitting electro, but both are a bit different in mood and sounds.

The style and sound of DJ Overdose is so distinctive, you can spot it from miles away. The first track has a groovy title, with a car symbol and silly characters. Great music for driving your white convertible in the Detroit sunset, it's dark, repetitive, the usual genius with impressive drums. The title of Funky Mess is no lie, it's a funky song with a Japanese telecom sampler resembling the Detroit underground scene. The last track RZ-1-DMX is classic electro with some nice slow melodies, that you can nod to.

Sematic4 is operating with more classic electro elements on Dream Creator with some spacey tunes, while North Star '78 is a rather hard-hitting club music with a nice groove, interesting drums and some super melodies. One Nite In Heaven recalls the atmosphere and soundscape of the golden days of the Hague electro scene - a way of showing respect to the era.

Sematic4 is an oldschool dj and producer from Hungary, who started spinning records in the 90s, a well-made and active dj, who started buying his own gear and all kinds of gadgets, and producing music on his own. A real music geek, who lives for music with releases on Bass Agenda, Tropical Underground and legendary Dave Clarke plays his songs.

And you all know DJ Overdose.

A long player of new music from DMX Krew is always a welcome sight and sound, and Hypercolour continue to strengthen their association with the seasoned British producer, with his third album for the label, 'Glad To Be Sad'.

A consistent player in the field of electronic music, DMX Krew has been releasing more goodies on labels like Super Rhythm Trax, Libertine, and his very own Breakin' Records since 2017's last Hypercolour album, 'Strange Directions'.

Those familiar with the catalogue of DMX Krew (all 22 albums and countless singles and remixes) can expect the usual collection of first class electronic funk and modular melodies, but for the uninitiated, 'Glad To Be Sad' covers a wide and colourful palette of rhythm and sound, abundant on the bass and with a heavy dose of futurism in its waves of glorious synth-work and deadly drum machine rhythms.

Erol Alkan welcomes Joshua James to Phantasy for his debut release 'Coarse' featuring The Bunker NY producer Justin Cudmore on remix duties.

A fixture of London's dedicated queer club scene, James maintains a trio of distinct residencies, including XOYO, the notorious 'Savage' parties, as well as fortnightly on Rinse FM. On this unapologetic and upfront track, the DJ-turned-producer instantaneously captures the raw energy and sexuality that underpin his life by night, backed by a remix from a key figure in the US underground, Justin Cudmore.

Designed with sweatboxes and serious sound-systems in mind, 'Coarse' wastes no time in establishing its rude intent; hammering jack-bass, orgasmic cut-up vocals and larger-than-life synthlines flirt expertly from the off, before the track descends into outright sleaze in the spirit the of gnarlier edge of acid-house. Only a series of breathless gasps indicate you've safely reached the other side... A personal weapon for James each week behind the decks, as well as for Phantasy founder, Erol Alkan, 'Coarse' is a powerful dancefloor paean with only one (well, maybe two) things on its mind.

Having turned heads with his own uncompromising acidic perspectives on labels such as The Bunker NY, Phonica White and Honey Soundsystem, New York-based DJ and producer Justin Cudmore unfurls 'Coarse' in a trippier, deeper direction, nonetheless still bumping in a style that subtly recalls the peak-time sound of classic 90s NYC clubs like The Tunnel.

Fourth release by Japanese artist Kosei Fukuda from his own platform. Great atmospheric sound scape with Japanese precision. Minimalistic Experimental IDM Techno. Including one Digital Bonus.

In celebration of Bold Monday's 10th anniversary we invited two of our favourite artists, Le Cliche (Gerard Ryan residing in Barcelona) and Colophon (Bas van Vuurde hailing from Haarlem) to compose six exclusive tracks. We are releasing those tracks as a special limited edition EP on vinyl.

Design of the outer and inner sleeve is by London based MuirMcNeil. We are longtime admirers of their work and were thrilled when Paul and Hamish agreed to design the artwork for this project. Final mastering was handled by Marco Spaventi in Amsterdam. The resulting digital audio files have been pressed on 140gr vinyl by Record Industry in Haarlem.

The tracks on this EP can be categorised as contemporary electronic music with a clear nod to its roots, while both artists opted for a different emphasis as well. Le Cliche composed the tracks Francophilia, Ergophobia and Chorophilia inspired by experimental postpunk and early synth pop. Colophon on the other side created Monospace and Methods of Synchronism referencing the more dance-oriented styles from 1980's New York and Detroit, with the track 574 Mondays serving as an ambient interlude.

Ever since hearing Pete Tong announce 'Chica Wappa' as his Essential New Tune back in 2004, we've been following the bold Alex Smoke on his musical journey.

Coming from Glasgow, we've shared a lot of common influences - both from within and outside of the city and we have Alex to thank for introducing and strengthening our love for the likes of Villalobos, Rhythm & Sound, Carl Craig and Actress, amongst others. Although he was a familiar face on the 'minimal' scene, he always operated on his own terms and that's a throughline we've admired throughout his career. Not only is he comfortable releasing techno on Soma and R&S, he's produced for ballet, films and even the NHS.

Over the years, Alex has played at a few seminal parties for us; alongside the likes of Oni Ayhun, James Holden, Helena Hauff and Veronica Vasicka. So we were delighted to be approached by him to work on a record together and it's been really exciting to hear it evolve over time. It would be arrogant to compare it to Thom Yorke's - The Eraser, but it certainly occupies a similar world in our mind. To still be producing innovative and inspiring albums 15 years into a career is no mean feat in this age and it's a great honour to welcome such a musical hero on to the label.

As with the last Auntie Flo album, we're also lining up a very special remix package with a swarm of our favourite producers of the moment and we can't wait to share them with you too over the course of the year.

Athens, Greece resident and Vanila records owner ANFS lands on Horo for an EP of jagged, industrial tinged Techno. Breakbeats are hacked and repurposed into brutal shards, with 'Kounoupi's amen march adding a slowed down, vicious take on the infamous roll. 'Salepsa' is a propulsive call to the floor, robust and emphatic, with 'Dervisis' and 'Komena' bookending the EP with rattling menace.

Borft follow up with Bergsonist "Chaos" after the split with Isabella back in 2016. Call it techno but this is experimental Power of its own kind!!!

Discos Atónicos is proud to announce their new release: The Devotion EP a rare split 12" of the legendary queen of darkness, Beta Evers, and the founder of Discos Atónicos, Alienata.

Beta Evers has landed on Side A with 2 special tracks perfect for dark electro lovers and obscure diggers alike.
Predictions, is an unreleased track written & recorded during the years 2007/2008. Dark bass lines, paranoid bleeps, snares that spank the mind and the unmistakably sexy voice of Evers make this track perfect for the more obscure dance-floors.
Bodyvolt Mix, has Miss Evers digging into her back catalog, revisiting a track originally released in 2003 by Dutch Label, Creme Organization titled Only For My Satisfaction. 15 years later, the synths have seemingly multiplied creating a stronger and dirtier version - You can feel the latex in your face.

Alienata finds herself on side B featuring her 9 minute trip titled Memory. The track was composed and recorded in one take at the Nation Studios in Chicago in the winter of 2012. Alienata flexes a far reaching knowledge of genre bending with this one featuring influences from Gothic-Balearic rhythms to a Chicago house touch reminscent of the legend, Mr. Fingers. To sum it up in a few words,
Hypno-beats for psychedelic minds

LIMITED EDITION RUN OF 200

A gem of an EP, the "Untitled" track could easily have been mistaken for a Warp Records release or AFX. Techno to drive you nuts.
Written by my Sound Designer friend, Michael Bolton, at University in 1998.

The Driving Me Nuts track is a sample of our tutors reaction to a track I made she hated.

Voodoo Dance Malarky's intro would be worthy of a Chemical Bros track, full of little surprises and an evil break at the end.

Originally recorded to tape. Cleaned up by me years later, remastered by Subvert Central Mastering and cut at Curve Pusher. Pressing by Vinyl Presents on clear Vinyl.

Originally released on Rabbit City Records as a CD collection taken from the first batch of EP's on Rabbit City. Remastered and offered by Mike Wells on his own FMM imprint. Definitely one of my all time favourites from 1992, Force Mass Motions early work was very distinctive. A sound that owed a lot to how Mike Wells sourced a lot of his sounds. Listening to and taping Kiss FM and sampling it. With a home built sound card his brother made an Amiga was the centre of the studio. All the music was mixed down through an old Broadcast desk using a few clever delay line tricks that give the music a lot of depth. Very distinctive, totally original the music was caned by all the DJ's.

Welcome to Another Picture. After two decades of releasing music and much longer time being involved with music and production Losoul introduces a series of fine yet outstanding pieces of music. Being based on classic sound production this release opens a space for a wide range of musical exposure. You know the high times - you know low life. You can't deny both ways can't really exist without each other. There is the raw energy of 'BZA' consisting of rolling beats and basslines with sounds from the acidic realm being presented to the restless dancefloors by true originators' poetry. Believe that. This is counterparted by 'Sediments', a jam from nowhere else but the deep. Down here many things you might have taken for being lost remain in the abstract vibe and the groove. It's all in there. Let's go full circle.

Joe Hart and Scott Fraser's Body Hammer, London's legendary jack party has been capturing the hearts, minds and feet of Londoners for 11 years strong. Having kicked off in 2008 at the Korsan Bar, and now comprising only of residents Scott & Joe, it takes place in various venues every month. Their open minded music policy commands a friendly, spirited, diverse and fiercely loyal crowd making it consistently one of the best nights out in the city, hands down. More recently, taking the party out of London they have been touring at clubs and festivals from New York to Berlin in and everything in between. They now have their own label and its 100% Body Hammer dancefloor certified.

The first release, of course, features two banging club tracks written and produced by Fraser and Hart at Fraser's East London basement studio, mastered and cut by Keith Tenniswood at Curve Pusher.

The A side, 'Spit from the Sun' is a peak-time jacking acid number which will set any dancefloor on fire. Its rattling drums and pulsing bass stabs capture all the intensity of the convict poet on the vocal telling his story and lamenting the waste of his life behind bars.

Over on Side B, 'Igniter' strikes a more subtle tone with its gently rising strings and breathy vocal. But don't let the subtlety deceive you as those kicking drums and thumping bassline come through to get the dancers screaming for more as it hits its crescendo.

To celebrate the turn of the year, Cocoon Recordings presents us with the fifth edition of the Dots And Pearls anthology, which has been offering us an exclusive glimpse into Cocoon's treasure trove of demos at irregular i ntervals since 2011. Once again, the eight tracks on show represent a comprehensive snapshot of the current state of club music as 2018 fades into 2019, combining established stars of the scene with eye catching newcomers to create a harmonious overall package.

First up is Berlin production team youANDme, who have been an integral part of the capital's club life for over ten years as well as running the 'Rotary Cocktail' label. Their epic floor filler 'Claret Loss' kicks off the compilation with a refreshingly reduced yet deep Techhouse showpiece as the 'ear circus' begins. In fact that's the name of the next track by promising debutant Florian Hollerith. 'Ohrenzirkus' amazes with a bone-dry bass drum accompanied by an insect squadron and atonal orchestra horns. Little wonder that this bold homage with its sonic claim to immortality also takes pride of place on Sven Väth's 'Sound of the 19th Season". Geneva based, Cadenza producer Quenum then reels in the acoustic madness with the elegant, metallic percussion of 'Blue Mountain", while Croatian mastermind Petar Dundov takes the listener into a highly emotional state of weightlessness with the typically anthemic 'Pyroelectric". Next, Systematic label boss Marc Romboy scores with 'Sequential Error", a perpetually growing ball of energy that lights the way to the dance floor.

The EP opens with V9843 from Heath Brunner aka Silicon, previously released on the 'There Was a Day' white label on V-max records and is a driving melodic techno classic. Next up there's Manic (Maana Mix) by Erotek, doing what he does best with a ghetto electro beat.

On the flipside there's 'Paradox', an old archival track by Orlando Voorn reminiscent of his earlier techno works from the 90s. Eoism close the EP with 'Floaters', a mellow electro track in the vein of the artists previous output on our label

Many years in the works, 'CXVI' is Akira Rabelais' supernatural album of collaborations, featuring he singular composer in rapt dialogue with a wishlist of peers including Harold Budd, Ben
Frost, Karen Vogt (Heligoland), Geir Jenssen (Biosphere), Kassel Jaeger, and Stephan Mathieu. Unfurling a quietly breathtaking, dreamlike sequence of events, 'CXVI' blooms in the wake of
Boomkat Editions' first-time vinyl pressings of Akira's seminal classics 'Eisoptrophobia' (2001) and Spellewauerynsherde' (2004) introduced his rarified work to myriad, keen new ears, while also
reminding longer terms fans of his nonpareil genius and alchemical style of composition. Set to be received as Akira's magnum opus, 'CXVI' finds the Hollywood-based composer challenging his usual working methods, pushing himself to refresh binds with longterm
collaborators such as Harold Budd and Stephan Mathieu and forge new relationships with like-minded craftsmen such as Geir Jenssen (Biosphere), while also finding a new vocal muse in Karen Vogt of Heligoland, and also coaxing the recorded debuts of his friend Mélanie Skribiane, and ilmmaker/photographer Bogdan D. Smith.
The result of their time-lapsed endeavours is a record of divine subtlety and poignant patience, rendered with a mirage-like appeal. Opener 'Which Alters When It Alteration Finds', beautifully segues from a prickly bouquet of keys and lovebite-distortion penned with Ben Frost to a reverberant, spine-freezing piano coda from Harold Budd, before 'Which Alters When It Alteration
Finds' smokily gives way to the sylvan shadowplay of the album's masterful centrepiece, 'Star to Every Wandring Worth's Unknown', where Mélanie Skribiane reads from Max Ernst's 'la femme 100 êtes' against an exquisite veil of strings and keys realised by Akira with the GRM's Kassel Jaeger a.k.a. François Bonnet.
The 3rd part of the album only becomes more sparse and isolationist, as Karen Vogt's plainsong gives way to the tremulous, icy timbres of Akira's processed guitar strokes, originally written
or Cedrick Corliolis' 'Tokyo Platform' soundtrack, before the final side of 'If Error and Upon Me Proved' finds Akira pushing Geir Jenssen's (Biosphere) synths into the red, emphasising a romantic soreness that turns into crushing noise, before Bogdan Smith's whispered vocal melts into an ancient, arcane air inscribed to 78rpm vinyl by Stephan Mathieu and then sweetened, re-
ncoporated by Akira as the album's stunning closing passage.
Riddled with bedevilling detail and utterly timeless in its scope, 'CXVI' is a disorientating opus you'll want to undergo over and again, and for our money the first great album of the year thus far.

The big versus... 2 masters of the tribe sounds !

With ASBIZ LittleibizaRECORDS brought three Techno-Artists together, realizing a remarkable dark and underground Vinyl-Techno-Record. All three artists are known as producers and Djs, digging into a deep, very puristic, bassheavy and danceable style with melodic and partly experimental aspects. Christian Druxs is Austrian, working most of the time on Ibiza. Anaon Naomh comes from Antarctica, living most of the time on Ibiza too. He developed a very unique Techno-Style he himself defines as ‚Antarctic Techno'. Both are featuring an ukrainian Techno-Artist called Eugene Do in this project.'

Random Numbers comes back with "Islands" EP by BXP.

An ecstatic recon through the meaning of isolation where field recording unfolds the ambient/techno sides of BXP's production. Born from nature, crafted in studio: techno meant for wide landscapes.

"Islands" is the result of a long search spent seeking sounds on various islands during his journey through south-east asia with a Tascam recorder and several directional microphones. He captured natural sounds from jungles, dunes, beaches and wild urban landscapes, not to mention the deep sounds of the Earth's elements: the sea, the wind, the interaction between man and nature.

300 COPIES BLACK VINYL REPRESS

Remastered from Digital Masters

Originally released in 1990 on hardcore imprint Brainiak - written and produced by Dave Campbell.

13 years after the 1997's first EP... was the second EP :)

Side A brings 2 superb daerk ambient tune, the flip starts regular 180 hardcore and finished with a sweet speedcore killer.

Four years since his last EP release and Josh Wink is back with Balls on Ovum.
Since his acclaimed album release in 2009 with 'When A Banana Was Just A Banana', Josh Wink has been heavily touring and working on building a new studio. Last year he produced his greatest creation to date, a beautiful baby son. After taking some time out to enjoy his newly found fatherhood, he finally got into his brand new studio towards the end of 2012. The outcome was 'Balls' - a ten-minute drive of pulsing intensity bating towards a huge breakdown, unlike any of Wink's work to date...
'I am always surprised with what happens when I go into the studio after not being in there for a while. I feel heavily inspired to make music by all the great things I hear and from personal experiences that have occurred over the past year. I didn't expect to make a techno track. However, the grooves came quickly and naturally along with the hypnotic analog pulses. Originally I came up with the foundation of my grooves using a beta version of Ableton's Live 9. And after I constructed the fundamentals of the track- I hit record, tweaked and grooved the components live for 20 minutes, and then tightened up and edited the best parts into a sequence. Then I played out, got some new ideas from crowd interaction, and re-tweaked and made improvement.



When describing the track to Matt (Ovum label manager) I was saying that I think that you really have to have balls to play this track, as it's a little different from most of the music out there right now. The track's time couldn't be edited down any further as the story and journey wouldn't be conveyed. So, the ten minutes is DJ friendly and I'm happy that I can express my tale. The track, usual of my work, is based on aural textures and tension. The breakdowns have changed through several attempts, and are now adjusted to drive the crowds, whether in clubs or festivals.' - Josh Wink
When you're as iconic a figure as Josh Wink, it's noso easy to sum up a career in a few words—but there are a couple of terms that might serve to get a handle on the seminal electronic-music producer's lifework. One of the most apt, certainly, would be longevity. A brief scan of Wink's mammoth résumé reveals the following: Early-'80 days as an underage mobile DJ; a major role in fostering his native Philadelphia's burgeoning warehouse scene during the house-music explosion later that decade; name-making '90s club hits like 'Don't Laugh,' 'Higher State of Consciousness' and 'I'm Ready'; a label, Ovum Recordings, that's undisputedly one of the most essential dance-music imprints; and his current position, after all these years, as one of the scene's most vibrant and creative DJs and producers (witness the critical success of his 2009 long-player When A Banana Was Just A Banana).

A smell of abyss and
purple morning light.
Night sky dispersal.
White flesh was showing,
perfume of Death.
Whistling to stray dogs,
smiling, dancing.
It rains all day.

After the extremely solid album of the Romanian due earlier this year, Cristi Cons and Vlad Caia (SIT) are coming up with a beautiful limited edition vinyl release on their new home label - Sushitech. The original version of Alternate is a warm and dreamy, atmospheric track that keeps pushing the boundaries of the modern Romanian / Berlin minimal house sound.
On the flip UK legend and label veteran Steve O'Sullivan takes things dubby and funky with his original strong trademark sound. As all other limited edition releases on the label this will probably be very much sought after - don't sleep.

The Belgian party organisation and record label De:tuned mark their 10th anniversary with the first outing of their 10 x 12'' series. 'DE:10.01' kicks off with a special treat from the 90s golden era: on offer a welcome combination of previously unreleased DAT material by Kirk Degiorgio and expertly affectionate As One remix treatments of both original Sensurreal and Jedi Knights (Mark Pritchard and Tom Middleton) work, pure bliss.
The artwork of the first 9 collectable releases of the series forms a 3 x 3 poster display. De:tuned have called on designer Kevin Foakes (Openmind, DJ Food, Ninja Tune) to create all graphic work.
This kickstarter for the series is mastered by Matt Colton (Alchemy Mastering) and pressed on 180 gr vinyl. A separate digital version of every release will be available from the usual digital shops. Stay tuned!

Stay straight to the line. This ep is dedicated to Gerard, king of the Kings, the man won the 2017 Razzle battle.

Warning : Countrymans, do not listen to this record if you are not accustomed.

"KUMP is delighted to release the first EP by HLM38 (ou HLM38's first EP), the naughty half of duo Ricco and member of the Notte Brigante crew from Lyon. The three original tracks, a mix of ethnic looting and industrial racket in slow motion, feel like steel wrapped in Turkish delight. Front de cadeaux's take on Illicite Cong' is reminiscent of an erotic rave flavoured with Oriental spices. Last but not least, Kris Baha slices up Exit' like a tablier de sapeur (local Lyonnais dish) served on a julienne of syncopated samples and noisy beats.'

'From Here to Eternity' is the first full length album from Canadian composer Kyle Bobby Dunn since his 2014 long play, 'Infinite Sadness'.

The use of processed guitar and his passion for cinematic swells reaches new realms that are markedly more ominous and dense than his previous long play. Kyle Bobby Dunn also recruited prominent ambient composers and a handful of his favorite musicians to arrange their own instrumentation for several works on this release that add multiple layers of mystery and intrigue of the human mind and heart. Artists that contributed to this effort are: Benoît Pioulard, Simon Scott, Loscil, Pan-American, Wayne Robert Thomas, Isaac Helsen, Mark Nelson, Robert Donne, Maryam Sirvan, and Michael Vincent Waller.

Kyle Bobby Dunn wanted this album to be very much about the eternal conflict with all human emotions and life circumstances and to somehow go even further than the concepts left behind on 'Infinite Sadness'. The moods and sounds range from angelic choral elements to motion picture soundtrack epics; permeating the skeletal system of the listener with a sense of boundaries and mortality. There are also moments that capture the dynamics of the artist performing in the live setting perfectly and were engineered meticulously by Matt Rogalsky and Kyle Bobby Dunn himself. Truly a difficult album of unending loss, confusion, pain, identity, disease and even death, but also include the most reflective and warm moments of his career to date.

Mihai Popescu aka MP returns at Metereze to pursuit his electronic explorations under Niste Treaba series, chapter 2.2.

This chapter goes beyond your usual 4/4 cup of tea, panning the groove between the persistent lo-fi theme, found throughout the whole release, and MP's signature basslines.
The two record sides mirror each other to perfection: as Infusion and DE go deep into the warm feelings triggered by the housier vibes, the melodic pulses from Phy Ness and
Trem get muffled behind the bassline groove to deliver a darker image of the same somehow nostalgic theme.

Suitable for those of us that seek comfort on a late morning packed dance floor, Niste Treaba 2.2 adds another piece to MP's out of the ordinary appearance.

Following his debut full length in 2016, Youandewan returns in 2017 with four pacey club tracks on his own label, The Brane.

The mercurial, industrial pop fetishism of 'Raging Tender' forms the 3rd and most impressive EP from producer Jan Grebenstein and vocalist Christine Seefried for Karl O'Connor/Regis' Downwards label
Stepping on from 2016's 'Strong Proud Stupid and Superior' LP, rebenstein's sound is now tauter, more spacious and seductively strung out, finding a sublime tension between quicksilver slow/fast drum programming and deadpan gothic delivery. Their means of production is still bare-bones minimal in an economical Berlin style that has served the duo very well thus far, from their self-titled debut for Downwards in 2014 thru to more
recent outings on experimental D&B labels Horo and Osiris Music UK.
Title cut 'Raging Tender' zips up fanged arps and needle-toothed hi-hats under Christine's close mic'd vocal with hypnotic poise and force, before 'Breathe' diffuses and unlocks that anaerobic tension with tantric 808 rhythms. After lulling listeners into a false sense of security, 'Arab Icon' raises the heart rate again with jarringly atonal electronics and an unyielding rhythmic grip, while the title and feel of 'Body Electric' speak to the duo's most
prurient desires, with Christine's opiated, any-hole's-a-goal mantra of 'I Sing The Body Electric' set to knackered, bummed-out pads and oozing bass.These are uncompromising, virulent songs about sex, death, and dancing that will surely resonate with knowing connoisseurs of the contemporary darkside.

Kyle Geiger isn t your average DJ/producer. From his marathon sets at legendary clubs like Berghain to his powerfully pounding but yet sensationally melodic productions, there are plenty of notable musical accomplishments on his resume. When you scratch the surface though, what you find is a genuinely humble human with a true passion for techno and a love for DJing the kind of grateful joy you find in those who come from small Midwestern towns in the U.S., and find themselves relocated to an area where techno is so widely consumed: decades of experience collecting and programming music for some of the toughest crowds to be finally rewarded with chances to play in venues that have carried the music to where it is today. We are beyond happy to have this true legend and gentle giant on MATERIA with his awe-inspiring 4-tracker Thirty Seven EP

Producer and DJ O'Flynn has announced his new 12' 'TKOTN/Siberian Goose Down' on his brand new imprint Hundred Flowers, to be released in 1st February 2019.

London based producer O'Flynn has announced his latest 12' on his new label Hundred Flowers, following a string of critically acclaimed single releases on Blip Discs and Ninja Tune, further solidifying his status as one of dance music's most captivating new club producers.

His new 12' release further refines and develops his signature afro-influenced house sound. A side TKOTN functions as a tense, glitchy club cut punctured by an explosive tribal drum pattern, manipulated vocals and a visceral, bass-driven pulse. On the flip side, Siberian Goose Down begins as a propulsive house track which intensifies throughout with warm percussive energy and intoxicating groove.

O'Flynn rounds off a busy 2018 having toured the festival circuit with stops including Farr and Kelburn Garden Party, as well as providing live support on tour for Hunee, Bicep, Joy Orbison, Mall Grab, Kornel Kovacs and more. Since debuting in 2015 with standout 12' 'Tyrion/Desmond's Empire', his rich productions have garnered support and acclaim from the likes of Four Tet, Gilles Peterson, James Blake, Bonobo, Denis Sulta, Hessle Audio and more. The young producer is set to go from strength to strength in 2019 with his latest release, and more new music on the horizon.
