Ravaged Minds is the debut EP from Aldrich. Showcasing dubbed out electronics, cinematic soundscapes and low-end heft, the five tracks are a contemporary update on golden-era ambient.

The first album on Numbers from Complete Walkthru aka US producer Max McFerren, titled Scrolls, is out on 20th September 2019.

Scolls plays around with themes of privacy, disillusionment and personal development over eleven tracks, representing a transitional time in McFerren’s life. Through Scrolls’ early stages he moved from New York, where he was holding down a residency at Brooklyn’s Bossa Nova Civic Club and playing regularly in downtown Manhattan at the iconic China Chalet and the now much missed Santos Party House, to the open, rural setting of South Carolina.

The albums personality, and the thematic preoccupations underlying it, reflect the impact of this contrast. It’s sound textures cast widely into what McFerren describes as “the ephemera of the saturated digital realm” while moving through arcane rhythms, chiming melodies and expansive, metallically tinged ambient passages. First single Lean In, streaming in full now, is a dusty breaks-tight miasma of fragmented cyber-consciousness. There are playful, hyperactive refrains on Getting Ridiculous. Leavin’ Church Early is an expansive beat free meditation, while NYC’s dynamic momentum is a cityscape of bad-faith corporate aspiration.

McFerren refers to his motivations with Scrolls as being “anti-nihilism”, as reacting against a dark emptiness he perceives in certain forms of techno. Ultimately with the record, he is seeking the potential of centring joy in the present moment, in a conscious awareness of now.

The runic inscriptions of the ARP 2600's circuit boards foretold the coming of "three explorers" who will reveal the ancient truths that lie within the pulsations of its ever-shifting squarewaves. The result of weeks of intense exploratory sessions in an NYC celestial echo chamber, this record documents the efforts of Tim Wheeler, David Kitt, and Conor Creaney to fathom and harness the sounds emitted by the ARP, Minimoog, CS60, and Jupiter 4 in a strictly live fashion. No overdubs or editing took place, just the sound that filled the room as the jams emerged. The results are two extended, hypnotic synth odysseys that unfurl organically as their melodic layers reveal themselves over time.

Side A 'Locked In' opens with tranquil, sparkling synth chimes that give way to a pulsating (but largely beatless) Krautrock-meets-dub groove, anchored by an insistent bassline a
nd interlocking layers of synth lines that unfurl over its 15 minutes. Side B ‘Locked Out’ takes us to the outer reaches of the cosmos with its quavering, otherworldly arpeggios and tempestuous asteroidal outbursts.

Fresh off his recent "Nataraja EP" for DEXT and an upcoming appearance on Sunil Sharpe's "Eel Behaviour" series on Earwiggle, Bodyjack's Bodytrax label returns from wrongful incarceration, and is seeking revenge via the medium of "the dance".

Early support: Dave Clarke, Marcel Dettmann, Laurent Garnier, Red Rack'em, Hunee, John Osborne, Ame, Vin Sol, Domenic Capello, Dubfire, Tom Trago, James Zabiela, Cinnaman a.o.

Bakk Heia Records has evolved as an extension of Manchester/Salford based club night Bakk.Heia.
The label mirrors the party's ethos: blurring the lines between ambient drones, performance, abstraction, hedonism, and dance music.

Bakk Heia Records' second offering comes in the form of a 4 track EP from their own Jorg Kuning.
Based in Wales via Manchester, Jorg has been instrumental in the development of both the party and the labels sonic aesthetic.
Having played the inaugural Bakk Heia several years ago in the now defunct Bunker in Salford and at various parties at the White Hotel since then.

Jorg Kuning's music explores the symbiotic relationship between the biological and the electronic; inspired as much by the raw natural beauty of the Welsh valleys as it is by dark rooms with massive sound systems. Live hardware jams evolve and mutate, incorporating intricate percussion and sparse organic melodies.

The A side begins with the deep and earthy broken beat patterns of 'Hibbert' - a track which is weirdly unsettling in its familiarity. Following this is 'Tunnels', perhaps the most conventionally club-focused track on the EP - hypnotic and dubby grooves roll out with humanistic functionality.
Over on the B side, the cybernetic counselling session of 'Algotherapy', gently reminds us of the absurdity of the human/robotic condition - all set to a heavy-as-lead bass line under redemptive chords.
'Bumrush' finishes the job in fine style - woody percussion moves over earth shattering kick drums; dance music at its most primordial...

Repress of long out of print Laurent Garnier 12” – originally released in 1991 on FNAC.

LACKRec. finally expands to the much loved Mitteldeutschland, signing a 5-tracker from leipzig's jack of all trades Perm. Jacking 313 injected techno on the a side and 3 electro tracks ranging from reduced & futuristic to retro leaning & dreamy.

Repress of long out of print Laurent Garnier double 12” – originally released in 1993 on FNAC.

Steve and Dave Conner return as Bitstream. Includes the mighty “Monolith” from the 1999 Signal Records 12″, a hugely in demand and much loved electro masterpiece, and a different version of “Double Density” from that same EP both remastered from the original DATs. Coupled with two new previously unreleased tracks, fierce industrial edged electronics from Northampton UK. Special full sleeve limited edition depicting a recently lost local building. RIP Greyfriars. Artwork by James Smith. Remastered by Simon at The Exchange.

Reissue of Ex-Terrestrial's debut EP lands comfortably on Temple. Resting somewhere between the inner and outer, Paraworld is the space for thoughtful and reflective explorations. Recommended for lovers of that Chillbient™ sound.

The Hacker needs no introduction. The 4-track 12-inch 'Nancy' on Electronic Emergencies finds him at his best - oscillating wildly from electro to new wave, his true musical roots. For the title track, he collaborated once more with post-punk hero Michael Zodorozny, vocalist of Crash Course in Science, resulting in a slippery wet dance floor killer. The three instrumental tracks have a gritty feel, breathing over the cold wave atmosphere.

It was about time for a full album to be released by one of our favourite 030303 artists, the great Rolando Simmons, who's already fed us some amazing eerie and psychedelic bouncy electronic funk, both self released and on this magical label from the Netherlands. This record travels deep into the melancholic mind of the producer and on a wide variety of levels. Opening track Natron gets you right away with an unusual mix of comforting and uneasy atmospheric acid-electro. Dew then, is so touching it hurts - in a classic IDM way that is, with plenty of meandering melodies falling over each other; nothing short of epic this one. Hydrogen Line shows yet another very different side of Simmons, one where fierce, dark and heavy Drexciyan techno/electro vibes reign over your speakers. The heaviest raver on the record is probably Langelo, with the listener being slapped around by sharp, heavy bass wobbles and hard hitting snares, not one for the office! Lastly, closing track Smiley Face is likely to make you grin in a cross eyed kind of way with its intense, synth-heavy and mind bending vibes. Human Touch is an allround, 12 track treat for every braindance fan on the planet. Big tip!

"A diverse collection of electro music which spans the distorted and raw to clean and refined. Stallone The Reducer starts the comp with overdrive drums and funk rhythm. Weakmassive is up next with a Swedish type electro track. Kid Ginseng delivers a track featuring Wendy James of Transvision Vamp with latino edits. Next, Drakkar Noir steps up with a deep and raw dancefloor mover! Bookworms contributes an uptempo avant-garde hardware tweaker. Finally Foil comes through with some hard 808 business including blade runner synth. This comp is a monster!"

Release already appreciated by Simo Cell, Lawrence Le Doux, Geena/Worldwide Zen, Kemal (Berceuse Héroïque), Clara! (& the Gravats squad), The Social Lover (BAKK), Sagat, Mika Oki, …

Exzakt is in the drivers seat again with this deep, dance floor ride that touches on a lot of various vibes along the way. Feeling & Above are tracks that marked Exzakt's return and are the first tunes he produced on this journey. Feeling is moody, pure electro with many layers which touches more on his classic, original sound. BFX puts his unique take on the same tune with exciting results. Bass driven beats with hints of 4/4 keep this song moves into new exciting directions. With Kinesthetic joining Exzakt, Above is a banger which starts when the bass kicks. Deep strings and driving sonic sounds move this track until the end. For the gran finale of the EP, Brice Kelly hands in one of the freshest Electro songs you will hear today. This is truly one for our time that will be an instant classic. Brice Kelly goes all in on this amazing journey through pure Electro goodness.

De:tuned lines up the seventh release in their ten-part anniversary series. A blend of old and new material, deep grooves and inventive textures brought together by venerated producers Spacetime Continuum, Scanner, Ross 154 and Leo Anibaldi. A heartwarming ambient techno trip from start to finish makes for an immersive listening experience. Do yourself a favor, we love it!

Kevin Foakes (Openmind, DJ Food, Ninja Tune) created all the graphic work. This 12" is pressed on 180 gr vinyl and a separate digital version will be available from the usual digital shops. Stay tuned!

Hello! We present to you our first 7” single, two vocal tracks, a traditional choice for the format, from a favourite of ours at OTIS - LORD TUSK. Out-of-body music for the inner Upsetter. Best enjoyed on hi-fidelity, stereo sound systems.

It’s Neu Verbotens advice to a faster apocalypse, an arsenic wish. His message in the voicemail of Infoline which will burn your ears with liquid acid. This artefact of a neo digital brain modification sends its first bio message to the doomed dancefloors of gore. Neu Verboten is transmitting sonic metadata from the interzone between the secret Lustpoderosa headquarter and the decentralized battlefields of todays resistance. While receiving information about political malware and forgotten messages of peace on earth it trys to involve new members to the resistance for the new forbidden ways of anarchist diy-life. Taking its cues from old synthmachines & rusty surveillance tools to fight for a radical open rave society. Vital Sales Points: First Solo EP by Neu Verboten

OPIA002 coming in thick and fast. Four tracks. Two artists.
Leading the way is Steve Marie, coming through with a refined combination of euphoria with a definite rave tinge. 'Opiace' is a pacey number from the off, with a bassline that creeps in and just keeps on coming back to get you. A dark and mysterious affair in 'Yvar', driven and punchy, laced with peculiar voices.

After releasing 'ABE Security Systems' on the previous release, Luis Malon returns, this time with two tracks which take up the whole of the B side. A constant progression of obscurity and curious sounds from the South American artist in 'Maybe Forever Baby'. Rounding off the EP is 'Astrosonik', broken drums lead you to a place of otherworldly atmospheres, absorbing you in the trip. Acquired grooves intelligently arranged by the young talent.

Bud Burroughs emerges strong with this very fine follow up to 2017's Mail Art EP. Growing with each release, Bud is one to watch.

Cologne-based producers Ripley and Benway aka Kitbuilders have been producing electro for many years and released their music on labels like Breakin´ Records (DMX Krew-label), Electrecord, World Electric, Television, Vertical, Ersatz Audio and many more. Their new album Reality (on Vertical/Kompakt) twist electro and dark synthpop into exciting new shapes and deals with themes of death, loss, destruction and introspection. The album combines the influence of many sources like Chris & Cosey, Devo, Aux 88, Lydia Lunch, William Butler Yeats („A Drunken Man´s…“), Suicide, Associates, dystopian 60s-songs, Mantronix and many more. The resulting music is an emotional and fresh sound tapestry that spins a vibrating web of analog Synths, 808-drums, harsh, overdriven noise, song structures and the unique vocals and lyrics from singer Ripley creating an atmosphere of tense, sinister moodiness. The album contents two remastered Kitbuilders-classics (Reality, In the Year 2525).

Global tracks is a mystery; browsing the name online gives nothing associated with the artist. All we really know is that Gothenburg is home base. Most points toward that this is Global Tracks first release and Hoga Nord Rekords are more than proud to be first out giving his/her music out.

With albums like 'Selected Ambient Works' by the Aphex Twin and cities like London and Sheffield as a ground for the sound, Global Tracks displays how breakbeats should sound in 2019. The music is mostly influenced by Jungle, but also by Footwork and Dancehall. The roots lie shallow but the phantom behind this music don't give up with trying to recreate the nineties straight up, instead he/she develops the legacy from all the best and most drug marinated DJ:s from England circa 1995.

Breakbeat has a new vanguard in this mysterious shadow crawler that we know almost nothing about, but rumor has it Global Tracks is locked up with the machines under ground somewhere in Vastra Gotaland in Sweden working on new broke up beats, ready to surface when the time is right for more, deep and ganja oozing dance music!

Post-nuclear landscape, strobe lights and smoky streets. Roboscopic techno for Juan Atkins and Blade Runner lovers. Mastered by Stefano Genta. Feedback (more to come): -"Thanks for sharing your music with me, there are definitely tracks in there that I would play!" Intergalactic Gary!

Having established herself as one of Bristol’s most exciting new faces on the scene, local selector Yushh has turned her attention to the groundswell of talent the city has to offer when it comes to the cross-section of bass music with her new label project, Pressure Dome.

Tied together by syncopated rhythms and broken beats, each producer featured brings their own style, tempo and atmosphere. The first release from this new imprint provides a range and depth that reflects Bristol’s musical versatility, from newcomer Syz whose contribution follows highly praised releases on Only Ruins and Brotherhood Sound System, to some of the city’s newest party starters to rise through the ranks.

Wire Parasitism EP is inspired by the electronic music which was produced during the end of the 80's and beginning of the 90s by the likes of Richard H. Kirk, Psychic TV, Coil, Dave Campbell or Lagowski (to name a few). Walid El Barbir uses his unique producing & sampling skills to create contemporary and industrial sounding compositions out of found footage like occult documentaries, rave stabs or Emax sound-libraries. Walid El Barbir is a part of the collective Les Points based in Zürich, Switzerland. His art/music draws from 90's rave utopias, occultism, progressive & accessible frameworks as showcased at their offspace Mikro - a physical room which has no doors and opening times during exhibitions and raves - making an institution available to all social layers.

In this post-industrial, post-enlightenment religion of ourselves, we have manifested a serpent of consumerism which now coils back upon us. It seduces us with our own bait as we betray the better instincts of our nature and the future of our own world. We throw ourselves out of our own garden. We poison ourselves to the edges of an endless sleep.

Animated Violence Mild was written throughout 2018, at Blanck Mass’ studio outside of Edinburgh. These eight tracks are the diary of a year of work steeped in honing craft, self-discovery, and grief - the latter of which reared its head at the final hurdle of producing this record and created a whole separate narrative: grief, both for what I have lost personally, but also in a global sense, for what we as a species have lost and handed over to our blood-sucking counterpart, consumerism, only to be ravaged by it.

I believe that many of us have willfully allowed our survival instinct to become engulfed by the snake we birthed. Animated — brought to life by humankind. Violent — insurmountable and wild beyond our control. Mild — delicious.

Matt Edwards launches Stranger in The Night with his first solo material since 2017.
The Rekids offshoot will release regular music by four artists, namely Radio Slave, King
Britt, Anthony Rother and Fred P, who will each drop three EPs over the next year.

'With Rekids being 100% focused on releasing music for dance floors I felt the need to
create a new platform to explore a wider musical vision and invite some of my all-time
electronic musical heroes to be a part of the series,' says Matt Edwards.

Both numbers near the 12-minute mark but each track portrays a different aesthetic.
Opening with precision drums and crystalline notes, 'Ground Control' makes a nod
towards the hi-tech soul sound of Detroit and drives forward using a sultry bassline, erratic
chords and the occasional icy stab as an array of contrasting sounds operate in unison.

On the flip, a syncopated rhythm lays the foundation for 'Last Communication' whilst a
tantalising melody joins poignant synths, constructing a profound and hypnotising journey.
