No frills, no compromises. Kicking off this new chapter in the Corpus story is newcomer QphoriQ from Moscow. With his gloomy, minimalist sound and his purist approach to production, he embodies everything Corpus Vinyl Cuts stand for. Enjoy the ride!

A Various Artists of two volumes characterized by the two side of the artist.:

(Vol.I Vinyl): A collective of artists who express with their “club” side:
Dark and liquid sonority from Stave-Karim Maas and Wrong Assessment, passing through the more solid and fast ones represented by The Extraverse and Magna Pia, Enigmatic arpeggios by Danilenko and an usual intro by Stanislav Tolkachev.

(Vol.IITape): Founded by a non-dancefloor concept, representing the other side of the artists, the more experimental one, characterized by Ambient, I.D.M and Experimental sounds, through which we can manifest the differences and what less is shown by the artist. An unexpected side.

Northallsen Records is pleased to present “The Path of Nomads” A various artists vinyl release celebrating five years of existence. With their characteristic and unique artistic concepts, Oscar Mulero, CHPTR, Mike Parker and Aleja Sanchez are together shaping the 64th release.

Remix time part deux: andhim return with another generous bounty of versions from their last two Superfriends releases… And it’s every bit as crisp and immersive as last month’s dispatch.

Following rubs from Johannes Albert, Kalupke, Neil Landstrumm and Toto Chiavetto come three more friends with four more innovative twists. It starts with Monaberry’s Viktor Talking Machine who flip ‘Windows 85’ into one of the funkiest productions they’ve ever created. One part mystic, two parts cosmic G-funk, all techno, what a way to kick off the EP.

It’s backed by three more remarkable refixes: a shimmering subversion of ‘Aires’ from Permanent Vacation co-founder Benjamin Frohlich (who twists the original’s Italo elements into Balearic bliss one layer at a time) and pedigree chums Catz n’ Dogz who take the already beautiful ‘Last Song’ to insane new levels. Maintaining all the skin-rippling euphoria of the original but giving it a buff, gruff, swaggering techno bump (and a bassline hook to die), it’s the Pets bossmen at their very best.

And if that’s not enough, we also have the return of the mighty Neil Landstrumm with a second take on this year’s heavily-supported rave anthem ‘Duno’. While his remix on the previous package bounced with electro mischief, this one is full on UK rave, taking straight back to Shelly’s or Eclipse circa 91. The type of places you made friends to the very very end. Super. Keep those white gloves on… You’re going to need them this winter.

Luca Agnelli's Etruria Beat sees Italian artist Bastinov return with a fantastic full-length album entitled
All Through The Night, this Autumn.

Bastinov is a master-craftsmen who imbues his music with melody and spirituality. After first releasing on Etruria in 2013, his standout sound design and the richness of his synth-work has continued to catch attention from the likes of Adam Beyer, Sven Väth, Pan-Pot.

Across six superb EP releases, he has subtly developed his sound and now, on this debut album, makes his most complete and coherent musical statement yet.
'Deep Forest' majestically opens the album, raining true to its title is like a journey through a lush organic landscape. Bubbling synths and drums get you in a trance on 'All Through The Night' and the range of synths on 'Genesis', from smooth to pixelated to thunderous, lend the techno a truly immersive feel. Bastinov then expertly explores a range of moods on suspense-fueled ‘Eternia', over to darker and moodier on 'Hyperion' while 'Dantze' layers up scintillating cosmic keys above elongated grooves that all build and build to an intense peak.

The second half of the album is just as artful, with the surging Detroit styles of 'Evnt' and celestial melodic rain of 'Proteus'. The Veneti artist showcases his ability to make synths take any form as he skews and stretches them to the heavens, or breaks them into crystalline droplets on ‘Arponoid’ and ‘Elaysia’.
This intense, absorbing trip finishes with ‘Der Love Train’ and ‘Devine’ a in a set of highly emotive tracks that sweep to otherworldly spaces and back again with the euphoric vocals of experimental/industrial artist KnowKontrol featuring on ‘The Silence Of The Night’.

MBERE debuts with drenched UKG and Dub Techno. Water way to have a good time.

In the wake of the monumentally successful first two releases (both of which sold out and were re-pressed), VDK returns with an extra special third outing.

‘Outing’ being the operative word, here, as VDK’s label head has decided that it is time to shake off the veil of anonymity and lay all bare.

The story starts in Holland, with Dutch producer and DJ, Odette. Tired of the mainstream, Odette planned to carve her own notch in the underground and thus VDK (an acronym of her surname) was born.
In typical Odette style, the four tracks present on the EP are loaded with emotive moments, all powered by the house sound for which we know and love our producer.

VDK is a home for music that makes you feel, and that is exactly how Odette performs with her latest release on the label; VDK003.

No one hears any sound the same way. Every emotional and intellectual response to a song is a tangled network of deep-seated memories and social pressures. The most banal hook can inexplicably reduce someone to tears, while a passionate crescendo might be deflected off an impenetrable shield of self-seriousness. A pealing lead atop a thunderous kick might be instantly triggering for one dancer, while another is having their future emotional response to music shaped in that very moment.

With the first release on his new, pointedly titled label Disco Inferno, I Hate Models teases the possibility of inspiring moments of intense, soul-wrenching nostalgia in one listener, and blasting open new neural pathways to profound sentiment in another.

Disco Inferno - Label Info:

We are but vessels for a complex system
Impressions patched into emotions
Memories modulating perceptions
Sensations ensnared by passions.
From the intellectual centre our spirit flirts with heaven,
But in our instinctive body, we're forever skirting hell,
This must mean something to someone else.
What lies, outside the subjective self?

Annie Hall once again proves why she is one of the most interesting producers right now, continuing to carve her own niche of future machine funk right in between techno, electro and IDM. Overturn delivers a razor sharp remix with plenty of attention to detail, while Inter Gritty closes the EP with some serious old school vibes.

Fourth installment of Syntetyk’s record venture comes in the split format – a collab between Mchy i Porosty and DogPatrol. Both artists sharing a love to the dirty and nostalgic, both writing their narrative on the respective sides of the 12″. A side guardian, Mchy i Porosty, is a spirit residing deep in the Polish woods. By twisting and mutating the soul of the forest with his craft, he was able to produce a very distinctive sound on the edge of euphoria and delirium covered with ruthless saturated drum work. On the B side resides DogPatrol, a notorious player overwatching the streets of Mannheim, Germany. Just like that murky tape you played loud while riding in the night, he asserts total dominance with his unique mixture of oddities, brutal patterns and razor-sharp technique.

Dutch multi-talent Oceanic debuts on Rush Hour with the outstanding ‘Total Comfort’ EP, displaying his skills as an increasingly confident producer, taking cues both from classic Detroit and UK techno whilst looking at the future with four slices of delicately woven post-modern breakbeat techno. Excellent stuff!

UYSR029 is the closing chapter of Remixes for Satori´s longplayer. Crussen from Norway kicks of with a pretty down beat mix of "Days Without You" which is pure fun for the morning hours. Amsterdam based Olaf Stuut instead did a driving mix of "The Wishing Spell" crossing borders between Techno and Electronica. Hraach from Spain put big emotions into his "Bad Looking Trouble" Remix - deep House with sensual strings. Last Mix is from Underyourskin Resident Thomas Atzmann who gave a very new danceable attitud to "The Greatest Against The World".

Session Restore teams up with good friends Bernhard and
FL_000 for a colorful, groovy techno EP.

Long awaited reissue of Connective Zone's Qwerty EP. Originally released in 2002 on Emoticon, the deep electronica sister label of Headspace Recordings. Fully re-mastered for a fresh 2021 pressing. Connective Zone, aka Lincoln-based duo Graham Sims and Simon Button, have been making their unique brand of deep techno for many years. Warm strings, thick chords, multi-layered synth melodies and crisp beats are the order of the day, with influences coming from early Detroit techno and 'artificial intelligence' era UK electronics. All four tracks pack a soulful punch, drawing from the past but allowing their individual sound to shine through. Rhythmically they range from straight-up 4/4 beats to more syncopated patterns, and are sure to find favour with more adventurous DJs as well as home listeners.

Brought to you all the way from the wetlands of Planet Earth. Frequency chasers Eversines and Caim guiding us on a joint mission for the label's 6th expedition. This hybrid release will be taking you through pandemic infused electronics laced with atmospheric synths and time bending grooves recorded straight through the wormhole. 100% Dancefloor proof across all galaxies.

New York ravers' family favorite Club Night Club announce their inaugural release as a record label. The first offering comes courtesy of Manchester heavyweight Herron. The meandyou founder and Soup Kitchen owner follows up last year's 'Box Of Swords' EP for Peder Mannerfelt with a gritty four tracker aimed squarely at the dance floor. On 'Lowflow' we see him develop similar sludgy Uk techno mutations to his 2016 CO/R collaboration with Joy Orbison, but this time with more explicit peak time intent. The Hi-Fi, sleazy chug core is ever present, but particularly on the A side, a freneticism of breaks pressure and pummeling sound design is let loose. In keeping with the name of A2's Velcro Spider, the record weaves a complex blend of the synthetic and heartfelt. Stumbling, low slung grooves mutate over the course of each track, quietly building and sustaining a tension the listener is unaware of until all hell breaks loose at the last minute in true drug chug fashion.

Jon Hester returns to Radio Slave’s Rekids label with the second instalment of his ‘Converge’ LP, ‘Converge - Part II’.

The second part of 2020’s ‘Converge - Part I’, a body of music which saw enthusiastic responses from the likes of Surgeon, Lauren Flax, DJ Bone, Anthony Parasole and Jus-Ed to name just a few, sees the Berlin-based DJ/Producer and dancer generously expand on and refine his slick vision of techno on one of electronic music’s key labels.

By encompassing warm and soulful textures within club focussed grooves, Hester continues to explore the far reaches of both the musical cues picked up from his years as a dancer and formative time spent in the Midwest US, connecting influences from Chicago, Minneapolis, and Detroit.
Stretched across a double LP, the album opens with the spacious and icy ‘Stealth’ followed by the machine communications of ‘Artificial Intelligence’. The B-side sees a whirlwind of the synthetic in ‘Instant’ before ‘Contact’ swiftly picks up the pace with it’s warbling pads and slippery percussion.

On the second disc, ‘Circadian Slip’, custom-built for dancefloor pandemonium, continues with off-kilter leads and vocal snippets before ‘Shadows’ brings eerie syncopation to the proceedings. In the final stretch, ‘Silver’ maintains steady energy into the twilight hours, and the gorgeous ‘Wonder’ closes out the LP beautifully, providing a soft landing to an exceptional journey through Hester’s sound.

Taking reference from the rave energy that has passed through decades of UK dance music and combining influences from harder, noisy, industrial tropes that carry a similar raw approach, Ploy (Timedance, Hessle) delivers his debut LP "Unlit Signals" for L.I.E.S. Records.
Across these eight tracks we move through contained intensity and stifling darkness met with flashes of light and space, reflective of the darker pockets of the grubby dance floors of which this record is aimed at.

This body of work represents the space Ploy has found himself occupying over the past couple of years, an injection of dishevelled closing hours delirium, applied across a spectrum of bpm.

Rhythmically taking influence from elements of broken beats, soundsystem music and organic percussion as opposed to a straighter Techno template, 'Unlit Signals' captures the visceral energy that is much needed and often missing in genres at the forefront of the dance music world.Moreso this LP is reflective of the grim state of current social climates, and the artist's experiences looking for the darker, introspective ends when hitting the nightclubs. Heads down as opposed to hands up, Unlit Signals puts forth an ominous sonic dread that works the system with texture, low end and militant drum play.

Similar to previous Ploy releases it's nomadic in terms of styles and never really slots into one category easily, which ends up being the true beauty of "Unlit Signals".

Dig in....

Detroit bred / LA based producer Kenny Larkin has long been a force to be reckoned with, both in the studio and in the DJ booth. For over 2 decades this giant has supplied us with some of the deepest, most soul touching and verdant techno sounds the scene has ever presented. Larkin's music is always awash with human emotion, his machine tinged expressions hark back to the true sources of techno music where man always met machine and the soul was inherent. 'Serena X' always sounded like it had been beamed back to us, even in 1992 when she first appeared, bolstered by a classic remix from fellow Detroit techno auteur Carl Craig that saw C2 firmly innerzoning and adding in some trademark stellar chopped-up breaks to the mix. Both of these now classic and monumental tracks are included here, on this reissue, backed by the towering melodic workout that is 'Empirical Reality'. These tracks all stand tall today, a testament to the forward thinking style of Mr. Larkin. Remastered from his own source materials and with his full involvement, it's a pleasure to welcome 'Serena X' back into the ears and minds of today's listeners.

'Serena X' has been legitimately released with the full involvement of the rights holders and Atlantic Records and remastered by Bristol's Optimum Mastering from the original sources especially for this release. 100% legit, licensed and released. Dug, remastered, repackaged and brought to you by the caring folks at Mint Condition!

Ukrainian hardware lover AC130 is back on Lonewolf with his debut solo EP.The tracks included in 'The Journey' are the reflection of Yaroslav approach to dance music.The artists express his vision through psychedelic and trippy soundscapes, acid lines and bass-heavy grooves.On remix duties Paris based and Forest ill Records affiliate Muelsa.This EP is top shelf material from two talents on the rise! Limited copies.

Elektronische Sequenz Proleten is the new project of Nicola Kazimir and Walid El Barbir -both are integral members of the Les Points collective based in Zürich. The Heart Of A Man, The Desire Of A Monster EP is their debut release under this moniker and balances somewhere between genre bending Acid-Techno and EBM. E.S.P. has no particular genre specialization in mind - but wants to explore a diverse, wide and mature range of sonic compositions in the next couple of years. Also watch out for E.S.P.’s track “Accumulation City” on LUX Records (Schwarze Schweiz Compilation).

For our fifth vinyl episode, the word is given to Keikari. The French producer lands on Binary Cells with "Teoria", an EP composed of 3 original gems full of deepness and energy shaped for dancefloors and sweaty warehouses. Teoria also features a remix from Argentina based producer Alderaan. Strong vibes all the way !

The latest drop on Ornate sees Neil Tolliday's Nail project metamorphose into Sentipede. His illustrious track record in UK house and techno has touched on all kinds of ventures since the DIY days, and now he's presenting something very special indeed for Ornate. The vibe on these tracks is more taut and techy, with "313151" opening proceedings on a bubbling bed of acid before the rubbery monosynth jack of "44151" on the B side. Keeping things locked into this nervy strain of warehouse tackle, "3131154" finishes the record off with some even more audacious 303 lines that will dig right into your synapses and give 'em a twist, in the nicest possible way of course.

Next up on FT, young sound-king Nick León with an incredible 5 track EP. Miami-based León forms his massive world of sound production and design into Future Times shapes. The EP follows up releases on labels like NAAFI and Tra Tra Trax (and more) with a planet of sounds and modes, crossing back and forth into techno and his polyrhythmatic styles. The A-Side plays like a scene, all three tracks connected and growing, meshing classic synth pop hooks and serious percussion dexterity in "Blue Data" and "Scavenger Hunt", along with a stripped down pearl to start things off with in "Igneous Drums". B-Side sees the anthemic, levitating techno of "Gum Tree" and a collaboration with Miami's Greg Beto (NI UN PERO, LIES) in the tunnel-driving, splacked electro cut "Sewer System" - TIP!

Pick your poison! Skream bites down for Steel City Dance Discs Volume 23. The Croydon (London, U.K.) native strikes hard with a 3-track injection of heaving dance floor venom.

A motley of pumping rhythms courses through the veins of this EP as he reaches into his diverse repertoire of soundscapes.

The record opens up with Doolally – a euphoric House shaker intoxicated with nostalgia. Now in its grip, Space Ghetto swells up with tight breaks and aching bass; the tune is peppered with head nods to early hardcore tropes and a voice recording of Big Miz. Symptoms persist with Drago The Destroyer, which finishes us off with a rapid onslaught of chest thumping kicks and off-kilter synth rushes.

Nothing will save you.

Continuing a long history of musical dialogue between the two cities, London's dance scene veterans Tribal Brothers join forces with Bristol's own UK Funky doyen DJ Polo for the 'Link Up' EP on Livity Sound. Sharing interests in the legacy of London's homegrown scenes, and the melting pot of global percussive club music infiltrating the UK, this new EP showcases and encapsulates the energy of a contemporary rhythm centred, outward looking UK club sound.
A longstanding collaboration of artists LR Groove and Razzlerman, Tribal Brothers' trajectories through London's rich history of soundsystem inspired dance music reads like a classic tale, from early productions on Playstation's Music 2000 software to regular pirate radio sets, through Jungle, Garage and UK Funky eras. LR started Djing in the mid-nineties mixing Jungle, making his debut at the legendary Edmonton Roller Express venue. As the garage scene exploded he became a regular on the burgeoning pirate radio circuit playing on Deja Vu FM and securing sets at the Garage Nation club nights. In 2007 as the UK Funky scene emerged, LR felt revitalised by the music's irresistible energy and started producing and dj-ing once again, making links with MA1 and Marcus Nasty. Around the same time, also inspired by Marcus Nasty, Supa D and Footloose, Razzlerman started producing percussion focussed tracks and dj-ing on pirates stations such as Nasty FM and Deja Vu, where they were eventually crossed paths and began to swap tracks, going on to collaborate on what became the original 'Tribal Brothers' EP.
Recently reunited, 2018 saw the release of a Tribal Brothers EP on TSVI and Wallwork's Nervous Horizon label having been inspired once again by a fresh influx of international dance rhythms into the capital, particularly the Gqom OH! Club night and label. Reinvigorated, the pair launched their own imprint, Renk Groove Recordings to showcase their productions influenced by the UK Funky legacy combined with South African House sounds and the wild rhythmatics of footwork and cutting-edge global percussion hybrids.
Whilst cutting his teeth in early Dubstep, the arrival of UK Funky was the catalyst for DJ Polo to refocus his efforts and productions in this new direction. First finding the percussive club sound via crossover releases on labels such as Night Slugs and Numbers in the early 2010's, Polo dived headlong into the underground sound. He co-launched an annual ‘UK Funky party’ in Bristol under club brand ‘Sprung’ inviting the biggest names in the scene and became a champion for the sound in the city where it's popularity never seems to have waned. Hosting regular shows on Rinse and SWU FM, alongside releases on labels such as Roska's legendary Kicks and Snares, More Time Records and Super Kitchen, he's established himself as a leading light in Bristol representing a sound influenced by Gqom, Kuduro, Afrobeat and Funky.
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.
