Taken from the monster compilation "Acid Rain" compiled by UK house pioneer Terry Farley we have Acid Rain sampler #2, A carefully curated selection of choice cuts spanning the many styles of Chicago's Acid House movement.

Sampler #2 and the quality continues, on this volume we are treated to some bonafide Acid House classics! The late, great Frankie Knuckles dominates the A-side with two of his biggest and most loved club tracks, "Baby Wants To Ride" and "Bad Boy", both featuring the inimitable vocals of Jamie Principle and Frankie's trademark production skills. Over on the B-side we have Pierre's Fantasy Club's storming Acid / vocal cut "Got The Bug" and Pleasure Zone's sinister, jacking "Fantasy".

Another truly essential selection!

All tracks have been fully re-mastered, re-pressed and compiled in conjunction with Harmless Records.

Notes: the nose of clarity (one + two) is obscure and mystical techno with a hypnotism rhythm construct. part one is coming for the long nights in the clubs and bringing darkness dance moves. part two is more deeper and darker with a slowly trippy and layered loop sound. on the flip side the obsession (from don«t«be on acid ) dwntmpos rework is downtempo sound in perfection. the rhythm is going straight in the head and bring the deepness with a slowly pitched vocal in front of all understanding. the second rework is more dub influenced with warm chords, delays and echos from a other galaxy. The vinyl is hand stamped and numbered and comes with a A4 graphic art print. Mastering by Xergio C—rdoba at Eternal Midnight Mastering Studio Madrid, Spain

Allow us to introduce you to Moniker, proper London underground techno heads often found DJing at those ridiculous Sunday raves that have been making a resurgence in the capital lately.

Having been seduced by the depth, quality and nuances they inject into their underground house & techno creations, we selected 3 of their productions for their debut release, each intended to showcase different aspects of their work.

A1 track 'Coma Berenices' has an evolving almost overwhelming build up that leaves you hanging on a cliff-edge during a swirling breakdown before plunging the dancefloor smack back down in the heart of heads-down technoland. This totally deserves to be played and experienced on a club soundsystem and having tested this hypnotic track out in our own sets we are fully confident in its dancefloor potency.

AA1 cut Oms kicks off the 2 nd side with a purposeful low-slung acid groove before high synth-pads gradually appear and ascend upward and upward. Delicate melodic touches and splashes of sonic colour are introduced to leave the dancer in an altogether different place than where they started.

The AA2 track Phaze Jam finishes off the ep with an engrossing take on the less is more approach. Powerful dub sheathed chords shatter like shards of ice atop a bulky kick and frazzled hats. After a brief breakdown's respite the rhythms get more rugged thereby cementing the deal that this is a high grade granite techno tool.

German based imprint BAROC return with their second instalment! Paperwork steps up with three untitled cuts of properly raw, atmospheric house and techno. Drums thump whilst synths and fx float around the perimeters. BAROC002 is a real statement of intent - a completely essential release! Comes hand stamped, limited copies with inserts.

Resonances of a distant past or an apocalyptic industrial future, dark moods, gritty grim noises, violent mechanisms of rhythm pressed on vinyl.
Perc (Perc Trax) 'Thanks for this. Both mixes of K012 are great :-)'
Substance a.k.a. DJ Pete (Chain Reaction) 'good release! at the moment, A1 is my favourite track from this record.'
J. Tijn (Pennyroyal / Bedouin Records) 'really wicked ep mate'
Stenny (Illian Tape) 'Killer stuff man. proper warehouse weapons'

The second Rhythmic Theory release for Ancient Monarchy finds him in a more eclectic mood. Travelling Without Moving and The Bends sound like an interesting mixture of the "heads down" of the Blue Note Metalheadz era and the industrial heaviness of early No U Turn releases, with a taste of Detroit techno. Ceti Alpha and Machine State don't sound like the classic weak ambient tunes that most dance music producers create, to show they can also do this kind of stuff. They sound like a well thought out effort to create a cinematic sound that recalls the classic Brian Eno wall of sound, and the expansiveness of Artemiev soundtracks. Rhythmic Theory cannot do wrong these days.

Deep Space Helsinki is back with the label's third installment of finnish techno. 'Signal Three' EP features 3 tracks; one track from Juho Kusti and Samuli Kemppi each plus a collaboration between the two as Deep Space Helsinki. Enjoy!

Cassette includes a free downloadcode After dropping the fifth catalogue number on Heulsuse, What Ever are back to fill up the tenth one. With an outstanding synth-universe and serious groove manners their so called "KNTRL EP" is one of a kind.While the title track blasts the subs away, both "BLLS" and "PRPRLY" are proving a whole new soundscape where this dudes are seriously sliding thru. With an attached Madmotormiquel Remix, this Release enters new and unknown spheres without loosing focus.

I entered rapidly in the darkness, searching for a secure place, I cheated myself, I walked through paths travelled by those ones who get lost.
I've dreamt many times the light in the distance always bumping into an illusion, the illusio in my mind.
I ask to calm down to the screams in my ears, to cease to the voices in my mind.
I look lost around me, nothing is in possession of my senses anymore.
I fall, asleep.

Berlin based Mutewax Records strikes again with its eagerly awaited second release, Various Artists 02.
Label founder Mutecell's Cursed casts a long dark shadow over the dance floor with an electrifying and
slightly acidic melody. Hector Oaks' Reductions gets straight to the point with an aggressive and powerful
followup to his last release on Key Vinyl. MSDMNR takes a more placid approach with Vortex Vapour,
building energy with clear and crisp progressions. Urbano employs soft melodies to counterbalance a chilling
Journey into an Unknown World.

Enara Ltd is a Zurich based Vinyl only Label. This fourtracker is made with Love by labelowner Rick Fox.
Dear passengers, my name`s Rick Fox and I`ll be your pilot on this beautiful trip from Bilbao to Zurich with Enara Ltd. The sounds are raw, but the harmonies are sweet and the drums very solid. I`m happy to have you on board and wish you a very pleasant journey and looking forward to travell again with you.

A poet's reminder of a specific season.

By pushing the analysis between what is within us and the after outside we find the last edges of realism.

For the timely tenth edition of the Grey Series, M_Rec LTD welcomes back Donor / Truss to the fold. Whilst Tom Russell has been lately flexing his Truss muscles with Perc and causing a furore as Blacknecks with Bleaching Agent, Donor's Greg Schappert has been busy readying his dystopic debut album, Against All. After last year's swampy Aber for their first Grey Series outing, Ash sees the production partnership revived in the form of a trio of gritty, excursive techno works. Starting with cut one on the A-side, Ash simultaneously builds and decomposes, eked along with hypnotic loops and irritated layers of noise to conclude in a creaking industrial crescendo on the B-side.

An EP done by Ukrainian producer "Myztical" accompanied by Paul Birken remix. Experimenting in offbeat techno as well as delivering straightforward techno bangers, this EP should fit well in every techno heads vinyl collection. Inspired by Frank Herbert's Dune' universe and it's derivatives, this is fantasy about space and interstellar travels, fame and power, love and treachery, yet another untold story - thousand years ahead in very distant future, but pretty much inspired by our own life itself.

Position 12 is a story telling record inspired by the childhood of Romain Azzaro, aka Rouge Mécanique. One introduction and two dance pieces extracted from the crude reality he had to experience at an early age. The evolving sound of this EP throws its listeners into the dark and violent places that belong to his past. The childish melody of the intro suddenly opens on an intense break beat and ends with Vimory, a brutal and profound track.

Charlton is one of the first persons who joined the TH society. He is a part of us and we are a part of him. Out of control is the only appropriate phraseto describe this Rotterdamer. His Ep on TH comes with three manic andnoisy tracks and an autistic Remix from label owner Hana.

After putting out three excellent mixtapes (from Andrew Lyster, Leif & Joe Ellis and Nick Craddock respectively), Collapsing Market are now ready to release their first record. Eszaid (aka Louis Vial, one half of Mura Oka) inaugurates the imprint with four foreboding & gloomy trips that traverse through techno's darker shades into haunting ambient. Louis Vial merges slow drum patterns with foggy textures and sparse arrangements, reminiscent of early Kassem Mosse material. This is an incredibly affecting and mature first EP from the young producer who launches the label in the best way possible... And look out for the thoughtful artwork including a beautiful OBI strip and reflective silver sleeve!

ONOFF RECORDING is a record label created on 2012 Malaga , Spain

ONOFF supported by BIG international artists such as : Marco Carola, Paco Osuna, Nicole Moudaber, Buschwaka, Butch, Dubfire, Mr Bizz, Michel de Hey, Rino Cerrone, Ramon Tapia, Marc Antona, Pascal FEOS, Gel Abril, Randall M, Kaiserdisco, Dj Sneak, Stacey Pullen, Fabrizio Murizi, Luciano, Davide Squillace, Matthias Tanzzmann, Robert Dietz, tINI, Yaya, Colective Machine, Miro Pajic, Emanuel Satie, Steve Lawler, Macromism, Saso Recyd, Ivan Pica, Jhonny Kaos, Sasha Carassi, Ismael Rivas, The Junkies, D.Kowalski, Danilo Vigorito, Hector Couto, Hollen, Horatio, Jules & Moss, Ronan Portela, Secret Cinema, Dema, Raul Mezcolanza, & MORE!!

All of the tracks in this EP were created by the Roland Rhythm Composer TR-707. The recordings were captured "LIVE" using a combination of analog and digital equipment.
All manipulations and pattern changes were generated by hand.
Several outputs were re-routed through an effects pedal, equalizer, and various reverb rack-mount devices. The main outs had a treatment of a send/return through the "DigiTech 256XL" altering the overall foundation and rhythms for the title track "Rhythm Composer".
The tracks "SHIFT PATTERN" and "Major TOM" were routed through a Pioneer DJM-3000 mixer utilizing the effects and minor send/return from the DOD FX90 Delay.
No computers were "harmed" during this production,)

'Mutex' stands for 'Mutual Exceptions' - the basic idea behind all the releases on Mutex Recordings. Exploit, Seph and Unbalance showcase their vision of that out-of-the-way sound where splendid deep house vibes turn into earnest loopy techno.

Holden and Luke Abbott flirt with the New Age in this split double album, with a pair of extended synth meditations indulging their respective loves of arpeggio and drone, originally composed for the occasion of Terry Riley's 80th birthday.
Holden's 'Outdoor Museum Of Fractals' fuses the endlessly unfolding fractal complexity of luxurious washes of arpeggiations with the pitched tabla drumming of Camilo Tirado, co-pilot on this hypnotic, meditative journey.Luke Abbott's metallic gong-drone offering '555Hz' layers this mystical frequency and its related harmonics in a sequence of transportive wave-like swells.
Running to over 45 and 30 minutes apiece in digital form but split in two to fit on the vinyl. The heavyweight double vinyl also includes uninterrupted digital download codes.

DJ Ralf is the Italian icon who runs the much loved Laterra Recordings label and management, and is now back with 'Er Suonone', a new track from Margot that is all set to be a late summer smash. Anyone who has heard the legendary DJ Ralf (a cult figure who has been the subject of a documentary, has played all over the world, runs his own legendary Bella Ciao party and holds a cult residency in Cocorico) play recently will most likely have heard this track in his set, and it has been an unknown but much loved secret weapon for a while now. As such this one sided vinyl pressing will please many people who have been hunting it down. Margot, of course, is an Italian pair of accomplished producers who have released on, Les Disques de la Mort, Hell Yeah and Border Community and run their own Margot Records label. 'Er Suonone' is a pumping, deep, slow burning bit of cosmic house that builds and builds and teasers listens without ever releasing the pressure. Monstrous kick drums drive it down below, pixelated stabs add suspense in the distance and icy hi hats slither in the foreground. It's the sort of track to drop right at the peak time and it will surely go right off, with people fist pumping along to the groove.

Early support by DJ Ralf, Prins Thomas, Ivan Smagghe, Erol Alkan, Ed (Chemical Brothers),
Jody Wisternoff, Sasha, Innervisions, Jared, Luca C, Nick Warren, Fatboy Slim, Edwin (The
Foals), Reude Hagelstein, Catz n Dogz , Laurent Garnier, Dubfire, Martin Iki...

The composer and sculptor Aaron Taylor Kuffner is well known for co-creating the Gamelatron project in 2008, the world's first fully robotic gamelan orchestra.
His one-of-a-kind creation has been shown in major venues and festivals worldwide, ranging from the Smithsonian to Fuji Rock, and at galleries and festivals across Asia, Europe, Russia and North America.

In 1997, Kuffner created another musical project, Zemi17. Zemi means cicada in Japanese and the 17 references the 17-year lifecycle of the periodical cicadas found in the northeast of the United States. The success of the Gamelatron Project put Zemi17 on indefinite hiatus until The Bunker dug out one of Kuffer's last surround sound live sets from Unsound New York in 2012 and asked him for a 12' of that material.

The Bunker is proud to release 'Impressions' and 'Rangda,' two long and seductive tracks made entirely of sounds of insects, birds, motors and urban noises spliced together with treated samples of gongs and metallophones to create lush techno compositions. It is hard to tell if this release is going to be a new beginning for Zemi17 or an homage to a wildly interesting music character who has been a part of The Bunker community from its early days at subTonic. Either way, these tracks are as beautiful as they are original.

Kuffner has been a a prolific producer of underground and outlaw events in New York since the 90's: as a cofounder of the Ransom Corp, a member of the Blackkat Sound System, Havoc Soundsystem, and Amoeba Technology, he also frequently worked with Complacent Nation. In 2002, he moved to Berlin to produce a multimedia art festival and compose for an experimental theater group, before moving even further afield to Indonesia and immersing himself in the study of gamelan.

Kuffner returned to New York in 2007, joining influential outlaw event crew The Danger as a resident DJ. He began producing music made entirely of samples he had gathered in Indonesia, re-imagined into hypnotic techno masterpieces. Alongside Dok Gregory, he amassed a large sound system that they set up in the front room of The Bunker at Public Assembly for years. Taylor also collaborated with Kevin Balktick to produce the ambient music series 'Auditorium,' taught Ableton Live at DubSpot and performed on MIDI breath controllers with the trio Zero Gravity Thinkers.

- Dieser magische Moment... Genau darum geht es.'
(Anthony Rother über Verbalizer)

Kein Platz für lähmende Gedanken. Stattdessen gibt es nur noch Musik. Der Körper gehorcht allein dem durch den Raum ulsierenden Bass. Das ist es, wovon Raver sprechen, wenn sie erklären, was ihnen synthetische Club-Musik bedeutet.
Und genau darum dreht sich auch Verbalizer, das nun erscheinende Album von Anthony Rother, auf seinem neuen Label Nextdata.

Der Club als abstrakter Raum. Es geht um das Loslassen. Menschen machen sich frei, begegnen einander
und die Musik wird zum gemeinsamen Taktgeber.

Irgendwann nennt Rother diesen Prozess - die Dramaturgie der Ekstase', kann sich dabei aber das Grinsen
nicht verkneifen. - Die Leute sollen mit Verbalizer einfach ihren Spaß haben. Ich stand im Club und fühlte
plötzlich den Sound für dieses Album.

Verbalizer treibt im Raum nach vorn, ohne ins Intellektuelle abzugleiten. Es ist die Geschichte, der Augenblick und das anbrechende Abenteuer einer tanzenden Gesellschaft, irgendwo auf dieser Welt.
- Ich war auf der Suche nach einem expandierenden Klang. Dabei war wichtig, wie ich diesen Sound den Synthesizern in meinem Studio entlocke, so dass dabei eine Kraft entsteht, die alles Weltliche und den Alltag beiseite zu drücken vermag', erklärt Rother den hedonistischen Ansatz von Verbalizer.

Club-Tracks wie diese kommen ihrem Wesen nach ohne erzählerische Inhalte aus. Dennoch sorgen sie
beim Hörer für das Durchleben - oder besser für das Durchtanzen - ihrer ganz eigenen Geschichte. - Einige meiner vorherigen Alben haben ein komplex durchdachtes Konzept. Verbalizer wechselt
dagegen vollkommen die Perspektive: Der Inhalt und was sich aus dem Album ergibt liegt im Körperlichen, dem unaussprechlichen.'
Um es also kurz zu machen: Verbalizer - um zu verstehen, sollte
man das Album feiern.

A couple spacey jams, including the tribe-vibed garage number "Sub Tempus". Tally up your star-credits & prepare the crystals for "That Slow Mo", this 100 bpm future funk jam will even get the slo-mo's up dad dancing.

DeepChord and Echospace started off as barely more than a rumor supported mostly by the continous scarcity of their records. The duo comprised of Detroit's Rod Modell and Chicago's Steven Hitchell have spent nearly two decades producing low-key electronic music both bordering on the verge of myth. They're considered by many the most noted producers operating in the dub-infused aftermath of the Basic Channel axis and all its myriad offshoots. Their landmark album, "The Coldest Season" on the celebrated Modern Love imprint was named album of the year in over 40 different magazines around the world and was listed as one of "The Best Albums Of The Decade" in Resident Advisor. The Detroit duo also record under a a variety of monikers (cv313, deepchord, intrusion, phase90, variant, etc.) and have continued to carve out an evocative, immersive sound born out of a love and passion for analog circuitry, sound design, field recordings and non-conventional methods of recording. But it's also work that's quintessentially building upon the Detroit electronic scene where it was born, and that divine marriage of roots and vision make the work at once so highly considered, so pertinent and so timeless. This marks the first Echospace (Rod Modell & Stephen Hitchell) project since 2012's, "Silent World" album release. On this new project, a collaboration with one of their closest friends and mentor, the late Michael Mantra, who's contribution to society cannot be overstated. Michael's theories on 'Brain Hemisphere Harmonic Healing' were instrumental in the development of vibrational and sonic therapy. His experiments in the neural affects of sound paved the way for for what has now become healing music. In his honor, we're moving forward with a project we started some years ago and has finally come to form. Echospace plays Michael Mantra, "Sea Shell City" is a 70 minute voyage into the furthest depths of the mind, featuring three tracks of ambient drone-based sonic worlds. Where gentle waves of organic harmonics induce an almost meditative state of being. On this album sounds were sculpted with the use of hydrophones, piezoelectric transducers, wind harps, and binaural dummy-head microphones creating snapshots of normally unheard sonic worlds. Analogue oceans in slow motion, allowing one's mind to float into those mystical quiet zones, the brain hemisphere-sync effect Michael Mantra fostered for nearly three decades is ever present. We're continuously reflecting on the teachings of Michael and in his honor, preserving the essence of sound and vibrational healing through music for immersive journeys into the vast beauty of atmosphere, the mind, nature and the inner self.

After his first release on Bristol's Idle Hands, Parris continues his saga with a release drenched in bass. Skeletal goes back to the Skull Disco days of Shackleton, and brings abstraction and bass heaviness to the next level. Bloom finds Parris experimenting with African polyrhythms and melodies mixed with some classic sparse early Grime arrangements. One of the heaviest and more minimal tunes of this release is South East Of The Mountain, where he takes the vibe of the classic sound of FWD nights to create something brand new. This tune could only have been made in
London.

Konrad Wehrmeister, known from previous releases on SVS Records / Durr / Paradise Now!, an upcoming release on Public Possessionis, and part of the Günther Lause duo is joining forces with Jakob Hohman for a project called Twoman. Their first offer of this new promising collaboration collides Jungle Grooves with Techno.

Sequential Sleep is an ambient two-part CD release made for dreaming, a sonic travelogue set in multiple locations within a winter forest. Everything in its natural environment is magnified with a 7:1 field recorder that captures the purest form of nature. Utilizing newly developed forms of fm, granular and modular synthesis allowed this project to unravel in ways we never expected; like a visitor on foreign lands. Harmonic angelic sequences continuously ebb and flow, slowly moving, like the tides meet an estuary. Slowly evolving electric currents fluctuate in their purest essence possessing the closest reach towards a pure analog sound experience. The interchange and combination of field recordings and spectrum of sounds via various 16-step sequences become alive, taking on an organic yet expansive, and three-dimensional sound design which is out of this world. In the space-time continuum, every sound travels back down to earth within the spatial expanse, where recordings take on their own natural life in paradisiac existence.

Based on the Sufi teachings of sound—appreggiation and vibration, this music's vibrational pull of oscillating frequencies are founded on chord repetition, so too like chants that heal and allow the mind to reach meditative states. These immersive zones are the platform for a pure, rejuvenating, aqueous trance-like experience of endless possibilities. Freely flowing and comforted, just as a mother's womb, the unconscious mind embraces all. These are songs that warmly envelope, soothe and heal the soul. Nearly 2.5 hours, both sonic journeys are adaptations of the other and the essence of the vision. And, its sequences are steps into a dream, the steps into enchantment.

Behind and beyond these recordings therein lies the inspiration of its mysticism:
When we pay attention to nature's music we find that every thing on the earth contributes to its harmony. The trees joyously wave their branches in rhythm with the wind; the sound of the sea, the murmuring of the breeze, the whistling of the wind through rocks, hills and mountains; the flash of the lightning, and the crash of the thunder, the harmony of the sun and moon, the movements of the stars and planets, the blooming of the flower, the fading of the leaf, the regular alternation of morning, evening, noon, and night, all reveal to the seer the music of nature.' - The Mysticism of Sound and Music
The opium of openness by which all that dream, in wakefulness, or in sleep become one in the same dream...

Mood 016 sees the label welcome a new artist to fold but one who has not only held DJ residencies for Cadenza, Cocoon and Ushuaia but also seen his music feature on Desolat, Be As One, VIVa Music and many more leading labels. Today the Chilean producer makes his debut on Nicole Moudaber's MOOD imprint with his latest release, the Human Design EP.


The title track leads the way and sees Francisco craft a strong, hypnotic and percussive groove that is playfully topped it an old school vocal hook. The organic flow prevails on Black Page as both stripped and fluid beats collide to create a gorgeous trip.

Armando Gallop, the legendary Chicago producer & DJ whose career was tragically cut short by his death in 1996 left behind a legendary reputation as one of the windy city's finest. Having released on seminal labels such as; Trax, Musique, Westbrook and his own Warehouse imprint, Armando brought his own rough hewn brand of machine Funk and acid to the table and the dance music world has been much better off for it since.

"The New World Order Level 3" is a collection of Armando's tracks running through various styles and sounds; Acid, Disco infected bangers, crazy Chi-town jack tracks and much more. This collection is a great overview of some of Armando's lesser known tracks and has always been a tough one to track down, it also features the storming "Pleasuredome" that was recently comped on Nina Kraviz' stellar DJ Kicks mix among a clutch of other lesser known gems. An essential addition to any Chicago lovers record collection, essential original House music!

Re-mastered, re-pressed and re-released in conjunction with the official license and rights holders for 2015.

Dutch label Field is ready to complete its recent trilogy of album projects. Following double albums by L'estasi Dell'oro and D.A.R.F.D.H.S., now comes The Information Is Coming From The Server, a debut album from Kartei, aka Crysta Patterson and Voiski. Kartei have hooked up only once before, putting out a well received 12" on Wille Burns' W.T. Records back in 2011. That was Patterson's only project to date, but Voiski has been active for years, working under a number of aliases and releasing on labels like Field, L.I.E.S. and Syncrophone. The duo started their cyber technopop act in 2007, performing contextual actions on more alternative scenes. Their working ethos is based on collecting data from the internet to create new material. Data and songs are preserved into their server systematically. The album they serve up here is a condensed compilation of their archive, which can be described as clean and melodic, subtly uplifting and calls on classic techno as well as plenty of futuristic ideals. Grooves are quick and slick, synths are well crafted and emotive and everything is underpinned by a motor kick that powers the album along. Tracks like the bubbly 'Sunset' make for moments of calmer reflection between more trip out kickers like 'Kartei gets Fat'. New wave vocals and sombre chords, bleepy melodies and celestial pads also feature throughout this album, and all in all adds up to a terrifically journeying album of fresh electronic sounds.

At Barba we are old wise men, not so easily excited. But nothing gets our old fisherman joints up and moving like three tracks of pure strong machine groove. In part 2 of the Laffer EP Marco Bernardi is going head down, straight ahead and striving for energy. Attack of the Dessert Stormers is an overload of dark electro power, six minutes of squirming bassline-driven movement with surges of intensity from analogue bleeps and subtle drum pattern shifts. There's no let up on the flip side where Two Sliders brings equal force but in a more techno style. Right from the start you'll be grabbed by the bassline, but this one rewards extended listening as the track develops progressively with new melodies and metallic touches taking you deeper and deeper. There's a moment of sweetness to end our journey with ''There's always tomorrow'', a chiming melodic ramble through tinfoil meadows that will fit beautifully into a warmup set. Please don't sleep on this record - it's not often you see so much power and so much subtlety in the same package!

Do you know what genre this is Do you know who's going to play this record Do you know at what time in which club If you knew, would it sound any different Would it make you feel any different Here's a thought: What if this release was made just for you What if you realise, as you put the needle to the groove, that this is YOUR music You can share it with your friends, and strangers will talk about it like it was theirs, but deep inside you'll know: this was made for yourself.

Mr.G comes up with another addition to his Phoenix G catalog. This time long time friend Ben Sims does a splendid remix on the A side. Furthermore, Mr G drops a banging 12'' like always.

Bookworms and Max Ravitz aka Patricia team up as Pulpo and givimg you some dusty Brooklyn haze. While it may be challenging for most dancefloors, the guts and murk of these tracks are sure to get you in the proper headspace for a night sinking deep into the couch. Heavy sludge for the true freaks.

Great soaring Hard Techno release with heavy drums and rolling percussion. Sepromatiq invites some of his greatest associates to join on this records. All credit is due.

Collaboration vinyl only release between Skudge Records and Kontra-Musik..... BIG BIG TIP!
It came to us some time ago that what Kontra-Musik and Skudge stood for had a lot in common, which is the reason for this SKUM entry. Uniting to showcase the Swedish techno underground is an act of faith in these times of extreme self focus. We want to tell the world that we believe not only in ourselves but also in this new wave of local artists, a pledge for the future. In the immemorial words of ABBA, when all is said and done, you still get epic throbbing stabby techno from Skudge, deep hectic madness from MRSK, classy lush slow mo acid from TM404 and cavernous acid house from the Frak camp, a testimony to the scene we so believe in!

'Without a doubt, I guarantee that it will be in rotation at every club, at every party and coming out the speakers of every car ...this makes me proud to be British ' Idris Elba.

Still early on in theirASCENT, Manchester's Project 13 are a label who have so far been defined by an experimental approach to club music and a cold, unforgiving aesthetic that's remained suffused with a certain UK quality.

With previous releases coming from their tight-knit group of core artists including Acre, Divided and Szare they now ready their 4th record - a 12' marking the return of Divided for his second outing on Project 13.

Having provided 002 on the label and also releasing on Resin back in 2014, Divided now introduces his Black Swallower / Interzone EP - a brash and daring hybrid melding Grime and Techno with that same UK tinge as its predecessors.

'Black Swallower' kicks things off with a vicious snare and a wide, heavy kick set to a stepping rhythm. Metallic synth tones hack their way through the mix before 'Interzone' sets rough, tumbling drums under lively, circling tones that add further weight and substance to the Project 13 catalogue.

Beau Wanzer (L.I.E.S, Nation, Mutant Beat Dance) and Dan Jugel are Juzer. Strong 90's Techno heritage on this stone-cold killer E.P for Anthony Parasole's The Corner.

'Utility' is the stunning longplayer by Livity Sound co-founder Kowton, a debut album release for both the artist and the label. Combining the powerful reductionism of classic Detroit techno with the inventiveness and originality of the Bristol sound, Kowton has produced a body of work that will no doubt be looked back upon as a landmark UK techno album.
* While his trademark hypnotic rhythms, dramatic transitions and chest-rattling bass are all present and correct throughout, 'Utility' is more than just a collection of club tracks. Here Kowton has distilled both his influences and experience to create an immersive journey that twists and turns, encompassing not only weapons-grade 4/4 techno, but also geometric minimalism, deep abstract dance and skeletal, grime-influenced ambience.
* "The name 'Utility' came from a series of conversations I had in the build up to finishing the record, what feels most prescient to me right now is writing concise music with purpose and direction - visceral music that's uncluttered both sonically and theoretically', explains Kowton. I wanted to create an LP that works on the floor but is nuanced enough to justify repeat listens and self-aware enough to sit properly as a complete album.'
* From the opening bars of Comments Off', we're straight into the fray: the booming bass and intricate staccato rhythms coaxing the listener into a tunnel of repetition only ruptured by bursts of sub-bass. This sets the tone: each track on 'Utility' is comprised of very few elements, but it's what Kowton does with them that makes it such an engaging listen. Take the Sahko-indebted bleeps of Balance', for example, as Kowton layers them into a cerebral ping-pong before unleashing its brazen percussive chassis.
* Following the immersive 'Scido' and pummeling 'Sleep Chamber' the tempo drops for mid-album centrepiece 'Some Cats', which writhes on a slippery arpeggio providing brief respite. Things kick back up a gear with the disarmingly stark and simple minimalism of 'Loops 1', segueing perfectly into the frenetic polyrhythms of 'Bubbling Under'. 'A Bluish Shadow's spaciousness is the final calm before the storm of album closer 'Shots Fired' where hints of bitter sweet melody meld with stattacto subbass and disorientating arpeggios.
* 'Utility' may be Kowton's debut LP, but he's definitely no newcomer. Over the years he's accumulated sonic influences and geographical bases that span way beyond Bristol and its associated categorisations, eventually leading him to Peckham in South East London, where he now resides. Born in the relative isolation of Grasmere in the Lake District, Kowton's early musical education depended greatly on late 90's print magazines like Jockey Slut and Muziq and the blistering techno favoured by the local rave community.
* In the late 90's the way we consumed music in the Lakes was incredibly different to anything that happens now. We'd buy to tape-packs from Eastern Bloc in Manchester, or loan Metalheadz and Moving Shadow CD's from the local library. There were the monthly magazines and people's older brothers but our knowledge of scenes as a whole was patchy. As we got older there were always quarry raves going on but the music there was hard techno and if we ever got a warm-up slot it wouldn't last long.'
* Kowton studied at music college in Manchester from 2003 to 2007. Heavily influenced by the staff at Pelican Neck Records (Boomkat's old physical shop) he became aware of seminal European techno artists like Basic Channel, Monolake and Mika Vainio. A period of record buying obsession coincided with the golden era of Grime and Dubstep and soon Kowton's attentions were concentrated on the stream of new 12's coming from labels like Tectonic, DMZ and Tempa. This combination of low end pressure and European repetition has come to define Kowton's sound.
* In 2008 he moved to Bristol, co-inciding with a change musical direction, as the city, and the UK underground as a whole, began to once more embrace house and techno. An integral part of the team behind the newly minted Idle Hands record shop, it was their accompanying record label that allowed him to explore the possibilities of the darker end of dance music. The series of 12's Kowton released for the label drew comparisons with German wizard Kassem Mosse, known primarily for his ability to employ obtuse rhythms in a manner that still kept the dance floor bubbling.
* Around the same time, Bristol luminary Peverelist began sharing ideas and collaborating in the studio with Kowton, the pair eventually linking with Asusu to form Livity Sound: a label and collective intent on creating no nonsense dance music with an emphasis on pared down rhythms and classic sound system approaches. The critically lauded opening salvo of releases the label put out culminated in the accolades of Resident Advisor's #1 Label Of The Year and #2 Compilation Of The Year for 'Livity Sound'. The trio subsequently assembled a powerful live hardware set-up, using improvisation and dub effects to meld their music together into a thrillingly raw, unbroken whole.
* Over the course of the last five years, Livity Sound have cultivated a reputation for releasing some of the most exciting and visceral UK dance music of recent times, placing Kowton's grime-infused techno alongside Pev's exquisitely balanced rhythm science and Asusu's atmospheric, percussive club tracks. Resident Advisor called the label's output some of the most inventive dance tracks in recent memory', with the trio at the forefront of a new wave of UK techno that's as much about pushing originality, experimentation and futurism as it is about club functionality.
* Starting to work with Pev and Asusu on the Livity Sound project did a lot to edify for myself how I felt about dance music: I'd felt a little dislocated previously, writing moody techno but playing things like Theo Parrish and Soundstream records. With Livity Sound - and particularly the live show - we were just playing music we'd written and it felt so satisfying. We hadn't invented a sound but we'd definitely cemented our own take on techno. It's changed the way I write tunes and DJ significantly.'
* As a solo artist Kowton has been equally busy: a stellar run of brutalist, grime-infused bangers ('Des Bisous', 'TFB' and 'H-Street') pricked up the ears of many leading DJs, he's remixed Paul Woolford's classic 'Erotic Discourse', collaborated with the much hyped house producer Julio Bashmore on their murky Ekranoplan project and released on Hessle Audio, All Caps, Hemlock, Ilian Tape, Hotflush and R&S. More recent additions to his catalogue - such as the synth trill tension of 'Glock & Roll' and the stratospherically euphoric pads of Peverelist collaboration 'End Point' - have highlighted the more playful and melodic elements of his sound while still imbued with a heavily immersive atmosphere.
* There's been many facets to Kowton's musical evolution, the constant feature throughout though has been a focus on effective, strpped back, raw tracks that reduce dance music to its essence and in doing so give the form new life and energy. Simple utility done well.

After putting out a string of brilliant singles and EP's in the past few years, Slavaki is up with his first
artist album.
It's hard to believe it's taken him 7 years since the first release, to come up with the idea of releasing
a ''full-length''. No wonder, tracks have gotten time-tested, and have been carefully selected out of
over 10 continuous hours of material written in the period between the year 2011 and 2015. Out on
artist's home label Elusive at the beginning of 2016 on limited 2x12" vinyl, CD and digital. This album
is another peek into Slavaki's ever-expanding chest of musical treasures that never seems to fail to
surprise.

Once again, Wicked Vinyl bring the Partytime into raggatek with... 4 new tunes !! Al mastered at Fynal Tweek by Shane the Cutter at his finest art of the soundsystem scale. Bloody shit ! That's rockin' !

'Sagan om Lilla Vargen' is a musical drama created by the quartet WOBZ.
Its a tale of the little wolf who is forced to move out of the woods as it is about to get renovated. The journey to the city makes for an adventure in sounds as the citys noise and stress gets intensified with lifestyle coaches and different obstacles of human interests. The members of WOBZ are active in the sound art and electronica genre.

A distant shadow of a woman with jet black stringy hair glistened through the nearby shrubbery. Was it her, or was I again lost in my own dementia How in the living world could this be I sipped on my medicine and fell into a deep sleep. I awoke days later to see her sooty eyeballs rolling over my entire body. Her Black Wings seemed to stretch over a mile wide. They ever so subtly fluttered from the slow wind that was creeping in from the north. I startled when I realized what was happening and sprung up from my chemically induced coma. I grabbed her by the neck as tight as I could, only to realize that I was holding a black birds tail feather in my hand.

The last of Public Release's single-digit records is the first from the British West Midlands' most famous DJ and producer, Mark E. This shouldn't come as a surprise. If anything, the fact it didn't happen earlier should; Mark appeared as a remixer on Jeffrey Brodsky's 2014 Public Release EP, which has earned him the status of esteemed member of the outfit's inner circle and prime candidate for an extended play of his own.

That little bit of context behind us, let's move on to the actual music that's been pressed to Sky Horn. The 12' kicks off with the titular track, an abrasive number built around a meaty, sawtoothed synth line that sits snugly atop a hypnotic beat. Happy Family's remix—Happy Family, for the uninitiated, is Eric Duncan and Justin Van Der Volgen—is a more psychedelic reimagining of the original cut that'll knock you into an exhilarating stupor. Speedy and demented, it's an explosive, tantalizing cap to the first record.

The second begins with 'Midnight Equatic,' a tense yet propulsive number that's somehow paranoid industrial, tropical disco, and prototypical synthwave all at once. The duo comprised of Dennis McNany and LCD Soundsystem's Pat Mahoney, Museum of Love, wrap the four-tracker with their remix of the song, which zeroes in on the electro component so elemental to the original and runs with it, taking it into Depeche Mode Violator territories—before making a sharp left turn and exploring the wild sounds of the early 90s UK rave scene. A final hoorah for the party that is this record.

new three track ep by Los Angeles producer Silent Servant. These will fly ...TIP!

Known for his previous work with techno outfit Sandwell District, Juan Mendez, since the dissolve of the group has tapped into his formative new wave/post punk and early electronic influences effectively applying them to his recent productions to create an engaging amalgamation of modern dance music. Across this ep the sounds of Bleep, EBM, and even Minimal Synth are all present...from deep floor movers to jagged edged 150 bpm skankers, Mendez through these last years has been responsible for opening up minds on the floor and this ep proves to be a testament of such.

After releases on Livity Sound sister label DnuoS YtiviL and Cold Recordings, Batu returns with his own new imprint Timedance.

The label is set to offer a platform for hybrids and mutations of UK Techno, and the first release will be launched with a party in Bristol on 20th February, where Batu is joined at the Cavern Club by Beneath and Transient.

The release showcases a progression from Batu's first two 12's, with more colour and melody than his previous work, sitting alongside waves of propulsive percussion.

For their third release, Hard Beach Entertainment dug deep into Detroit history and unearthed the enigmatic DJ SCSI whose only release to date came out in '97 on D-Bass.
Never released before, these four cuts have been fished out from DJ SCSI's own archive, uncovering some of the finest electro/ghetto house from the D. Massive!

LP 2x12" LP in deluxe gatefold 'Replica' covered by screen printed fabric + poster (90x60cm) + CD Led by Busy P - AKA baseball-capped, head honcho Pedro Winter - Ed Banger Records have risen from low key Parisian rock 'n' roll cool to become one of global clubland`s most colourful and recognizable music outlets. It could be said they've ascended to maturity yet, in many ways, Ed Banger remains gleefully youthful, holding to the spirit of the party - a stable of DJ-producers with a huge sense of fun and old-fashioned loyalty to each other and their fans criss-crossing the world. The imprint's illustrious history and adventures have been documented in a new photographic book by label designer So Me called 'Travaile. Famille. Party' - Work. Family. Party. As Pedro explains 'After managing Daft Punk between 1996 and 2008 I wanted to create my own history. By creating Ed Banger records I launched my own musical adventure in a way. I learnt so much with Daft Punk, I owe them a lot. Celebrating this 10th anniversary is very emotional, I'm proud I managed to write a pretty nice musical chapter in my life. Daft Punk as chapter #1 and Ed Banger records as chapter #2 is pretty cool.

Forte Techno is a UK label ran by Ross Alexander and Steven McDonagh that has a firm focus on championing the underground, as the imprint returns with their second vinyl only package.

The first venture featured David Meiser, Ross Alexander, Jake Conlon and Kereni,picking up support from luminaries such as Bas Mooy, Radial, Sunil Sharpe, Rebekah, DJ Hyperactive, Thomas Hessler and many more.

This time there are 4 original tracks by all UK based artists including Paul Mac, Binny, Ross Alexander and John Mitchell.

VENT moves closer to its initial tenet: the love for raw and unsullied techno. Miss Sunshine returns to VENT and brings home two strikingly forceful tracks, with Cindy adding to the arsenal with her characteristic grit, and thus the circle is complete as stripped back yield of high grade techno on all cuts.

'Decadubs 5' is a vinyl-only double-pack companion to 'Hyperdub 10.4', the fourth and final CD in Hyperdub's series of collections throughout 2014 to mark the label's first decade in existence. Both 'Decadubs 5' and its full-length parental set explore the club spaces opened up by house, garage and techno, as viewed through Hyperdub's singular filters. Side 1 leads out with 'Lambeth', a long awaited previously unreleased track by Burial, with an unusually triumphant and - compared to recent extended montages - relatively direct 2step feel. This is followed by the low slung tech-garage of Kode9's 'Oh', while on the flip the whole of Side 2 is given over to the lush deep house of Cooly G's 'Love Again'. Side 3 opens with the fathoms-deep bubbling bass and synth washes of DVA's extremely psychedelic 'Monophonic Nightmare', then Dorian Concept turns in a quirky remix of Martyn's classic 'Mega Drive Generation', which originally appeared on Hyperdub's fifth anniversary compilation in 2009. Side 4 reveals another classic from the vaults in the shape of Cooly G's skeletal house cut 'Him Da Biz', and the EP comes to a close with energy levels turned up on Funkystepz's 'Vice Versa', a track much in demand since it first appeared on Kode9's 'Rinse 22' mix compilation from 2013.




E C2 | Martyn - Mega Drive Generation (Dorian Concept Remix)

incl. Gary Beck Remix !

Its been a hectic summer as always for MOOD boss Nicole Moudaber. Her relentless touring schedule has seen her ruling the dancefloors of every continent. On the release front she's fresh from unveiling her astonishing rework of Carl Cox's Kommen Zusammen, which has proved to be a festival favourite throughout the summer season. For her new release she returns home, for the first time since April's See You Next Tuesday ep, with the devilishly groovy The Whippin' I'm Dishin'.

Nicole's original sees her take a step back from the full throttle techno-tilt, creating a relaxed-yet-locked groove that swings throughout whilst kicking up a gear in its final third. Ramping things up in style is Gary Beck, who pairs the the primitive rolls of the bongo's against a relentless and industrial soundtrack.

AnaloQ Musik 003 sees David Gtronic making his AnaloQ debut with a 4 track EP including an interpretation from Romanian DJ/Producer Faster.

Packed with sinister bass lines, shattering low ends, hypnotic drums with a twist of lighter atmospheres and broken vocals, each track is extremely dangerous on the dance floor when used in the correct way.

Tested and approved across the industry bringing all dance floors to life, noticeably a lot from Marco Carola at Music On in Ibiza through out this summer.

Norse Projekt 2 welcomes Giash all the way from Hungary with his signature sound that encompasses everything about this talented artist.

The 'Taste the Difference EP' from the excellent Slidebar Records dishes up something unique where modern Techno is concerned. Axel Sohns the label founder expressed how he wants to mix up the old and new styles of Techno and give people back a sound that quite simply makes you not only want to dance and leaves you thinking 'how the fuck did they make that sound'

Dibu-Z - Pyroclastic Flow
The E.P. serves up the perfect starter. Dibu-Z's pulsing electro bass breaks into a chunky concoction of electronic murmurings and gets the EP off to a perfect start. There is never a dull moment every sound is well thought out and unique. This tune alone is worth the money for this EP. It will fill a dance floor in seconds and if it doesn't your playing at the wrong party.

TSR - Matlagningsmusik
Main course. Yet again TSR bring something deliciously funky to the table. The Deep groove is controlled until the lead synth decides to, quite simply, get up and leave and then all manner of madness prevails. At times this track leaves you thinking 'that's genius' but then what else did you expect from TSR.

Thomas Schneider - Schwarze Flut
This is dark and deep like a vintage port. The bass pulses menacingly throughout the track whilst the vocals twist and wind their way through the darkness. Turn the lights down or off and let the walls shake.

Oliver Rosemann - Murky Beer Can
For desert Oliver goes full fat with this sugar coated groove that mixes old and new styles beautifully. The groove struggles to break free but is kept in check whilst the beat pounds on but every now again the lead comes out to play. This is a perfect example of how Techno should sound.

Scott Robinson - Explain
Scott serves the bitter and black 'wake-me-up. The chopped up bass line propels the listener through a maze of industrial and mechanical bangs and clangs; if robots could party they would probably bang this track on.

To sum up, if you are sick of 'Template Techno' then this EP is for you as it breaks the formulaic mould of so much modern electronic music. You can certainly Taste the difference after this Techno Feast... simply perfect to keep you up on those hot summer nights.

Innocent Music presents their second vinyl release with their best artists in a great various compilation produced by Aney F., Marko Nastic, Dhaze & Gonzalez!

After killer releases on the great L.I.E.S. and Crème Organization
labels, Willie Burns drops a typically varied EP for The Trilogy
Tapes.

Support from:K1971! Berlin promotion from 28th of August 2015 www.k1971.com

* Tabvla Rasa is the second vinyl release for the new London based label Kapvt Mvndi Records, a Blackwater Label project about Techno.

* This Ep comes in a single sided vinyl on a 12', 45 r.p.m. with black labels, no inner sleeves, and a book with credits and artwork inside.

* Tabvla Rasa is a an experimental and post techno Ep based on the historical events of the Second World War. The first track CXIX is about the days of Bombs in London during the War. The second track CMXI is about the connection between the indian Swastica and the esoteric symbolism used by the Nazists in the same period.

* A1 track is a pure experimental dark track leading at 99 b.p.m. using a raw lead and synths in a repetitive and psychedelic loop . A2 track is a post techno track, more suitable for the dance floor. The Artist used the same musical and machines structure for both tracks, 99 b.p.m., same delay and reverb effects preset and same instruments.

Parallel fourth reference comes from the "key artist" Dominant. Into my blood, Dominant focus his energies in a mental and twisty voyage. Current and sincere Techno, really solid.
1995 provides a moment of reflection, emotive techno with a floating progression full of rhythms and melancholic ambients
The first remix is from Spanish producer Tadeo. Hypnotic techno from the outer edges of our galaxy combined with an powerfull and lysergic bassline.
The second remix is from David Att (ex Attemporal). He showing us a killer remix with his unmistakable dark style full of character.

Black country overlord Justin K Broadrick (Jesu, Godflesh) blesses Regis' Downwards fiefdom with two tracks and a tightly sprung rework by Surgeon. Downwards have really picked the foulest iterations of a grim set for vinyl release, inscribing the industrial-strength torque of Nothing Is Free - which sounds like early Kode 9 battered by Shapednoise - at 45rpm across the front face, and branding the knuckling 808 snares and distended electro bass blow out of Kontorted on its backside.
Surgeon's remix of the title tune ranks among his best in many years. Trace elements of the original are extruded thru modular kit and remodelled on a bouncing, swerving techno chassis recalling BMB and CUB classics, but streaked with sirens and vamped by a marching brass refrain that's just spoiling for war.
The release marks a long overdue overlap between Downwards' and Broadrick's interrelated industrial, noise and techno circles. Broadrick was the original drummer for Napalm Death on their Scum (1987) album, before forming the legendary Godflesh, and
carving out an oeuvre as one of the most feared and respected musicians to emerge from Birmingham and the UK ever since.

Prolific Seattle producer Jon McMillion returns to Nuearth Kitchen with another crucial chapter in his epic tale of haunted house-music subversions. This EP offers four variations on a bizarre and engrossing theme. Don't It Make You (edit 1)' is a work of extremes: By some miracle of aural physics, it's at once one of McMillion's strangest tracks and one of his most accessible. He sets into motion a staunch, relentless house rhythm bolstered with congas, massed claps, synth-bass raspberries, and a badass male singer intoning, Don't it make you feel good, if you wanna get down/Just say it, say it again,' over which a miasma of enigmatic tones bubbles and swirls. Like Bohannon's disco-funk classics from the '70s, Don't It Make You' seems like a tease, even at 10 minutes duration, you wish it would roll on for at least 30. On Don't It Make You (edit 2),' McMillion strips things down to dance-floor essentials and erases some of the free-floating background weirdness.

The two remixes are revelatory. New York house icon Fred P. (aka Black Jazz Consortium) slides the track into a tighter pair of pants, but that just makes it swivel harder and slyer. He emphasizes Don't It Make You''s mysterious drones and then loops a female vocalist singing He keeps me' while dropping in some echoed male chatter to gently disorient. What a dreamy, soulful trip Fred P. conjures here. And rising German wunderkind Orson Wells layers and pitches up the original's cascades of bleeps, which becomes the dominant motif, and then subtly modulates said bleeps over the tune's seven minutes, while keeping that irrepressible rhythm strutting. McMillion's raw materials prove to be fertile ground for these two maverick remixers to flaunt their own fascinating quirks while maintaining the original cut's club-darkening and ass-moving functionality.

The second release of No More Pop features an obscure sideproject of the famous dutch minimal synth group 'Ensemble Pittoresque'. Originally released on a promo compilation for local bands in 1984 called 'De Wassenaarse Slag', the single 'A Distant Dance' is a truly unique journey into dutch synth wave.
The composer and producer Ton Willekes and Paulus Wieland teamed up with Marga Visser for the vocals for their last creation before the final end of Ensemble Pittoresque.
Besides the original version the record also features a special rework of the original Ensemble Pittoresque Demo of 'A Distant Dance', produced by Murphy Jax. On the remix front, the silvery Celina S resang the vocals for both Keen´s and Flemming Dalum´s remixes, which are shining due to their unique , dreamy and melancholic mood.

* Blackwater starts it's third cycle with it's ninth release with an EP from London based duo, Ossa di Mare. A record that has come from the dark internal depths of a carnal energy between the two artists that make up duo, constructed around the idea of hallucinogenic experiences induced by dimethyltryptamine. Each track relates to a understanding and connection throughout the experience.The EP opens with 'Heautoscopy' A hallucination in which one see's one's own body from a distance. A very intense piece with influences from psychedelic music and pitch dark tones all well balanced with a proper veteran approach.

* On the same side '5 - MeO' follows- A chemical compound within dimethyltryptamine that let's you experience a near death sensation. Calm and relaxed pad lead through the percussive sounds in an infinite story. The B side comes with first track 'Asphyxia' -to show the dark face of the Ep. The entire piece is expressing the condition arising when the body is deprived of oxygen, causing unconsciousness or death. Claustrophobic echoes and reverberated atmospheres for five minutes of deepness. 'Hypnagogia' - Is the experience of the transitional state from wakefulness to sleep: the hypnagogic state of consciousness, during the onset of sleep. Once again the main concept of the duo dominates into instruments, all well mixed and calibrated to the end. The Ep closes with Elle's remix of 'Asphyxia'. A perfect closing track, ethereal dark loop.

Omnidisc presents Schmutz in Transgender

Cristi Cons & Vlad Caia return under their SIT alter ego with the second part of their genre-defying LP, Sideways. Spread across 2 records, the 6 tracks are yet another journey into SIT's colourful musical universe.

Witty improvisations transformed into funky clothes for Seller's Walk's subtle kick. Loops of deep nostalgia running around Hallo's lush buildup. The evasive acid background of Feel That Way, where haunting violins are chasing filtered voices. A cosmic adventure with a punchy bassline as your personal tour guide, under the Step By Step title. The razor sharp hi hats cutting the thick techno vibe from Furtuna, to reveal just a bit of light here and there. Or the twisted downtempo born from Moody's stripped down to its bare essentials structure.

Colours that express SIT's modern take on electronic music, melting genres into their simple yet so groovy analog signature sound. The very element that bounds the Sideways trilogy into an unique story

famous
Switzerland-Crew. This time they have a special guest. Michael Forshaw
the UK legend from Blackpool and owner of Chan'n'Mikes.

The opening track 'Where It Is' from Smees starts with punchy beats and
wobbling basslines which smash you into the ground. For 'Donkey'
Michael Forshaw takes you back to the old acid days. Stomping kick
meets 303 creaking with the extra Forshaw touch.
The B Side starts with Rock-Tron from Fugo. Heavy electro breaks
combined with distortion bleebs is his philosophy for the prime time.
Next Artist is Nino Fight with his Flying Flower. Pure analog sound
with a unique groove is his secret weapon for the dance floor. Ki-Yota
rounds off the EP with Bad Equation. Linear UK Techno with heavy
synth-sounds.
