One year after its original release, the Placid Angles album Touch The Earth is being remixed by an impressive array of artists from the extended Figure family. With John Beltran being a distinct voice within the electronic music scene for over thirty years now, Figure is thrilled to reveal a whole LP’s worth of reinterpretations, including two works by the original artist himself.
Opening up is Marcel Dettmann, who seamlessly has integrated the lush soundscapes of the original album into a beat-driven but equally serene journey. Picking up on the LP’s underlying dark garage tropes, Planet Mu headmaster M-ziq infuses his rework with even more rolling drums and ethereal vocal chops. The also inherent IDM roots of Touch The Earth have been kept close by Warp-veterans Plaid who deliver a shuffling flurry full of horns, synths and syncopated rhythms. More straightforward interpretations include Dauwd’s dazzling piece of feathery, fast, atmospheric techno; a gorgeous melodic house remix by Baltra and Cassy who turns in a rigid UK stomper.
Amidst all the reworks, John Beltran himself makes two appearances across the record. As Placid Angles he adds another heads-down percussive/ambient swirl, which represents exactly what the producer has been hailed for since more than three decades now. His own remix finishes the record on an epic note, with an organic drum track that celebrates life and the necessity for communal gathering in order to dance.
Beltran’s own additions to this LP are like the essential glue that makes it all bind together, forging the old and the new into something equally exciting as already intimately familar.

We have some very exciting news to share with you. Greyscale is launching a new series for its label and its named the Exposure Series! We are happy to say that many of these Exposure releases will be released on vinyl as well.
To debut this new endeavour we have a four track compilation called "Radiant Energy". Marco Cassanelli is the first artist and his track 'Camden Town' has a pure classic dub techno sound to it. Long delayed chords lull you into a peaceful mid-set trance while the beat is sure to move your body. Sibling's 'Valhalla' rises from the depths with a fantastic bassline and metallic spheres drenched in echo. A heady and busy track that really makes you take notice.
On the second side is 'Evolution' by Federsen and it has a more traditional dub approach. The groove is addictive here. Sounds dip and swell in a master class of subliminalism. Genning's 'Q.3' closes out the first Exposure Series EP with a more modern approach. Pure floorfiller here! This track covers you with a nostalgic euphoric feel while maintaining that deep underground sound.
We are excited for you to take this new journey with us! Welcome to the Exposure series!

This record is named after Vedyanta, an ancient philosophy based on the Vedas, the sacred scriptures of India. The music, originally composed and produced by Joseph S Joyce and later remixed by Sebastian Mullaert of Minilogue, was greatly inspired, after reading commentaries from Swami Rama Tirtha's biography "The Scientist & Mahatma" - Chapter 1 - Vedanta and The Secret of Success. Now, some nine years later, it gets served up as a remix EP.
There's a dark El Choop Reconstruct, a gorgeous ambient version from Sebastian Mullaert, a minimal headscape from Van Bonn, Federson SF goes warm and dubby and then a crisp, tech-edged vibe from Paul 90 ends the EP in style.
The new reference of INDUSTRIAS MEKANIKAS is signed by another great artist of the electro scene, KONERYTMI is who gives name to the seventh reference of the Madrid label, which continues betting on this new release by sounds to the purest electro.

Erol Engintalay's Monomotion project is back with a thrilling new collection of tunes. Sides is an energizing and iridescent trip down the echoing, cavernous halls of dub techno, instantly conjuring the
type of late nights and dark, crowded rooms that this music is meant to soundtrack. His first release in three years, Engintalay showcases a new set of talents on Sides, an affirmation of this special artist’s
stylistic versatility as well as a gesture towards what’s to come from him.
Sides follows 2019’s Fujisan, which captured Engintalay’s capability for crafting shimmering, gorgeous tapestries of electronic music. This time around, he’s turned towards his love of four-to-thefloor dance music—a stylistic shift inspired by time spent DJing in Paris last summer. “I wanted to get back to my origins,” he says while talking about the new sonic direction, exclaiming a sentiment
shared by dance fans the world over: “I missed playing clubs and DJing!” “It brought me back to why I wanted to make music to begin with,” Engintalay reflects on a particular
experience of spinning atop a Parisian terrace. “I wanted to bring the club back to my compositions.” After years of working with the famed Fruity Loops software, he switched to Ableton Live and
discovered a whole new array of sounds within the production software that unlocked previously unknown potential in his music.
Indeed, the title of Sides is a gesture towards Engintalay’s boundless sense of discovery when it comes to creating in the studio. “I can do a lot of different styles, I’m very versatile,” he explains.
“Right now, I’m into club music, which is the music I love. I still hold the groove and the rhythm close to my heart.”
“Mirage” percolates with the effervescence of classic Kompakt material, while the rubbery rhythms that course through “Echoes” are utterly entrancing—and then there’s the huge-sounding title track,
which patiently builds over nearly eight minutes to a purely ecstatic peak. “It’s a banger of a track,” Engintalay marvels while talking about the song. “I imagine it being played at a warehouse with tons
of people and sweating walls. It brings me a massive feeling.”
And bringing that massive feeling is what Sides is all about, as Engintalay explains that exercising these new creative muscles might sound different, but in the end it’s all about his own personal love
of exploring new worlds of sound. “I love to make different kinds of music, and with this project my approach hasn’t changed—I’m just doing what I love,” he says, and when it comes to Sides, you’ll
find his enthusiasm contagious as a listener.

San Francisco is most often associated with the cartoon sounds of DirtyBird when it comes to electronic music but Federsen offers up some deliciously deep dub techno here. He joins the Lempuyang stable and brings with him plenty of fine Maurizio influences from the off: 'Rotation' is all grainy pads and lo-fi drum loops , 'Noir' has a more silky and minimal tech house feel and 'Expiravit' brings a classic dub sound. The closing track 'Aeon' is perfect for late night smoking sessions.
Continuing the theme of community collaboration sparked by Hodge and Simo Cell’s recent 12”, Livity Sound presents the first joint works by Azu Tiwaline and Al Wootton. While they come from distinct settings (Azu in the Tunisian desert, Al in London’s urban sprawl), their music shares a similar affinity for intricate percussion and dub-informed space.
The four tracks on LIVITY052 deal in a variety of rhythms and tempos, veering from the propulsive intensity of ‘Blue Dub’ to the sparse, skipping 2-step framework of ‘Light Transmission’. Azu and Al’s refined, detailed approach blurs the lines between electronic sound design and earthy sonics, resulting in dynamic drum tracks loaded with weighty atmospherics and unrelenting tension.
Livity Sound is a label set up by Peverelist in 2011 as a vehicle for a raw and exploratory strain of UK techno, rooted in the heritage of UK dance music and sound system culture. It has since become one of the UK's foremost protagonists for cutting edge underground electronic music.

The sublime music of Kaoro Inoue is the subject of this essential new compilation on Mysticisms. Inoue describes himself as an "extreme music lover" and has been for more than 30 years. His Chari Chari alias is all about self-expression and the music here has previously only been available digitally. It fuses ambient, house and techno soundscapes across four sides of vinyl with a deeply spiritual outlook and soul-soothing sound. Organic percussion, traditional instruments and new age moods all colour the deeply enticing grooves.
Pretty ironic given its name, but the Rhythm Method has proved to be a highly fertile series for Steve O'Sullivan's Mosaic label, what with this being the sixth instalment. On the A-side, O'Sullivan joins forces with Reformed Society for the gorgeously light touch techno workout 'Distant Voices', where snippets of voices and tinkling keys pepper what at first appears to be a sparse set foundations but over time reveals itself to be packed with tiny detail. On the B-side we get the dreamier 'Deep Drifting' by Rico Sante, where clouds of soft synths blow gently over an understated dub techno groove. Both are great.

When two musicians intensively work together for a period of time, at some point the whole becomes greater than the sum of its parts. If Paul Boex and Dave Miller hadn't already reached that status under their Abstract Division moniker, they certainly have now, with the release of Midnight Ensemble, their first full length album.
Those who have followed the duo since their early days of playing dj-sets together, know that it's hard to define their style anywhere beyond techno or even electronic music, as it is ever evolving and always dependent on the time of the day or night. When listening to this album, the resemblance between their unpredictable selection behind the decks and the eclectic range of subgenres on this album is more obvious than ever before. Midnight Ensemble could be interpreted as an ode to nightlife; a reminiscence of all that happens between dusk and dawn, captured and compressed into about one hour of music. An hour in which they so delicately time their changing of styles and tempos, always reading the room and always being one step ahead of the crowd.
This album is a reflection of that skill, starting its journey with soothing, moodsetting ambient, followed by timeless pieces of Detroit and dubtechno. A daring electro cut providing a refreshing break from the four to the floor tradition, only to be followed by the stripped down sound the duo is so comfortable with.
The final minutes consist of experimental breaks, one last banger to pull out the last bits of energy that is left and a beautiful outro, which concludes the allnighter vibe. There are no open endings, it doesn't make you want to stay in the dark forever. Rather it makes you want to close your eyes one last time before walking outside to see the sun come up again before going home, overwhelmed and satisfied.
