Second single for the hotly tipped London based producer Pariah on the legendary R&S record label. Parish's debut single 'Detroit Falls/Orpheus' gained the young producer many high profile fans including Rob da Bank, Mary Ann Hobbs, Ramadanman, Untold, Len Faki, Appleblim, Chris Duckenfield and Will Saul amongst many others. The first ep also found its way onto high profile, and influential blogs and websites including Pitchfork, Fact, Gorilla Vs Bear, No Pain In Pop and Rcrd Lbl, and was a recommended release at Boomkat. The debut single contained the first two Pariah tracks ever recorded and were instantly recognisable as referencing the hip hop beat collages of Dilla and the moody atmospheric 2 step rhythms of Burial. This doublepack sees Pariah move further towards developing his own sound, and takes in slamming percussive club tracks, deeper 2 step excursions and downtempo and beatless highlights. Early supporters of this release include Mary Ann Hobbs, Falty DL, Ramadanman, Ben UFO, Untold and Mosca. Pariah is a peer of the likes of Burial, Bullion, James Blake, Pangaea and Untold, and part of wider loosely knit scene that includes futuristic, electronic beatsmiths such as Lorn, Hudson Mohawke, and Falty DL etc. Already an in demand remixer before the release of his debut single. He has remixed The XX, Ellie Goulding and Bombay Bicycle Club.

Quantec's Sven Schienhammer shows no sign of letting the quality levels drop with his latest releases on Echocord and Statik Entertainment. His first release for Phonobox Records brings 4 tracks of deeper dub house and techno

Cinematic production skills for the newly minted Essays imprint. There's no dancefloor ambitions here as Weisemann allows himself some time to explore opulently textured downbeats and dubby ambience on two gorgeously crafted tracks for late night/early morning play.

TRG drops the bpm but stands tall for his first outing on Hemlock. Eschewing any notion of 'feminine pressure' in favour of a new stripped-back, brutalist sound. A- Side 'Tower Block' Straight-estate and 808s. This is the sound of Croydon, Sheffield and Detroit past, demolished and re-built in Cosmin's unique style. On the flip 'Beton Brut' Let's get brutal. An unsteady climb through some seriously dark space towards a pounding climax. Straight-up his most bare and jacking tune to date.

The latest release on Mala's Deep Medi imprint is a four track double pack Vinyl shrink-wrapped with a 45min mix CD. The mix features all the tracks on the E.P. and upfront dubplates from V.I.V.E.K It comes on the back of his first Medi release last year 'Kulture' b/w 'Meditation Rock' and countless dubplates that you'll no doubt have heard if you've checked the Anti Social Entertainment on Rinse FM. Fusing digidub, sound system deep bass, rolling percussion, a hint of Berlin techno it all adds up to those 'Medi' style vibes; eyes down, blissed out, heavy weight music.
The title track, 'Feel It' kicks things off in fine style with some of the most infectious rolling tablas - his percussion is just sublime. A vocal sample declaring the weight of your bass and the largeness of your soundsystem is all the track needs to usher in a chest thumping sub sonic bass tone and there is no way back you're sucked into that soup of sub bass frequencies. 'Grandfather Clock' counts down to a dance floor meltdown when the metronome-like sample, half tempo drum patterns and hefty bass melts into blazing techno buzzes that just keep coming, it's those killer synths that make it, truly coming from nowhere.
The deeply blissful 'Motherland' is one for the meditative crew, subtle but weighty bass pulses roll off half stepping rhythms, tablas and all that good stuff all accented with Indian vocals instrumentation. It's so deep, minimal it would make Youngsta proud. The final track 'Strategy' is a roller with a garage kind of swing to it, it skips along with big room dub techno chords twisting in and out of the bumpy beats it really comes alive and picks up the pace. Pure vibes all the way.

Zooloft's 'Looking Through a Mindscape' EP is a decidedly dark new cut from Giorgio Gigli and Obtane.

Deadly serious new voyage into the unknown by A Made Up Sound... weirdly emotive, yet banging machine-funk with punching low end on the A-side; far out metallic broken-beyond-repair beat science on the flip. Soundsystem material for the year 2050... Recommended!!

Custom made mylar sleeves, screen printed with 160 gram blue vinyl. Limited to 300 copies worldwide.

This is Dub... not dubstep. The original master

DJ Rum is back with some more smooth, chilled out vibes that should ease your mind and take you back to that much needed balance (well if that's the sort of thing you need :)
