Welsh mystic Wesley Matsell returns to Border Community with an ebullient EP of 90s tinged dance utopianism. File alongside the good-natured old school stylings of Orbital, Lone and The MFA.
Thoroughly road tested in the DJ sets of James Holden, the staccato gasps of rave banger 'Total Order Of Being' exude a melodious, propulsive appeal.
A trio of companion tracks seal the deal: 'Future Beacon' combines sacred, mystical arpeggios and rattling breakbeats; 'Dowlais Wheelie Crew's layers of vibrant synths form a decidedly modern groove; and 'Rite Of Pant' is a rousing exercise in handmade primal proto-house.
This is the final release in a collectable four part series of limited vinyl (500 copies). All four covers fit together to reveal a larger picture by UK designer Jack Featherstone.

Further expeditions into spacey and celestial techno can be found on Blue Veil's second EP for Dichotomy Records.

Danny Clancy's new project assembles four measured and characteristic tracks on the 'Natural Boundary' EP, all wrapped up in Dichotomy's bespoke design aesthetic on the 12' vinyl.

'Three Horsemen Of The Apocalypse' offers a beautiful contrast of dark and light via a heady, acidic techno flavour against ethereal vocals, and 'Broken Pieces' delivers delicate electronica bathed in glorious melody.

The atmosphere remains celestial throughout 'Measure Of Time', with driving toms marching through a blanket of deep, melancholic synths, whilst 'Light Mask' signs off the EP with a rhythmic and percussive workout that teases with its blissful tones.

Mineral is a vinyl-only label born out of a long-lasting friendship and a mutually obsessive infatuation with records. The label is geared towards providing a platform for up-and-coming producers, showcasing intriguing and evocative electronic music ready to stand the test of time.

Disco Tools 18 Moods is the first ep of Sampling Moods Records Label. In this first release Eddie lays down the defining ingredients of his label: disco-funk samples, distinct rhythms and recordings on tape. Assisted by his mentors Eddie sets out to make his mad passion for Classic Garage amalgamate with a galvanising rhythmic construction, which is raw and rough.

Hinter dem Alias Bvdub verbirgt sich mit Brock Van Wey ein Produzent elektronischer Musik aus San Francisco. Dort war Wey in den Neunzigern als DJ und Promoter in der Rave-Szene aktiv, bevor er sich in den frühen Nullerjahren nach China verabschiedete, um dort auf neue Gedanken zu kommen. Was ihm auch recht erfolgreich gelang, seit 2007 hat Wey - als Bvdub und unter anderen Pseudonymen - rund 40 AmbientTonträger veröffentlicht, darunter mittlerweile stattliche 30 Alben. Diese begeistern durch empfindsam gesponnene Melodien und faszinierende Texturen, wie sie auch bei Echospace, Kompakt und Styrax geschätzt werden. "Drowning In Daylight" ist Weys Debüt für das Label Apollo. Das Album erscheint als Doppel-LP und enthält vier epische, je circa 20-minütige Tracks. Sie machen unverkennbar klar, dass Wey in Kindheitstagen eine Piano- und Violinen-Ausbildung genossen hat und (noch immer) von nostalgischsymphonischen Klängen beseelt ist.

Up next on the AdMaiora catalogue is an exclusive Italian project. Two young djs, producers and long time friends Nicola Calbi and Luky got together for 'Miami Force 89'. With releases on some of the most prestigious tech-house imprints, including 'Wow! Recordings' and 'Sanity', the fellow Italians unleash another powerful EP.

First entitled main 'Miami Force 89' is clearly immersed in the atmospheres of the late 80's. Unceasing female vocal loop meets tasty groove, hi-octave vibrato lead and a mighty kick and bass combination, making you feel like you're driving a supercar in the sunny East Coast.

The second original called 'Machine Gun' is a total gunpowder track, with a super-fat kick drum, aggressive vocal samples and rampant synths. Nicola and Luky go harder than ever, delivering a great tech-house stomper.

On the remix duty we warmly welcome Berlin hero Philip Bader and Italian duo Alfa Romero. The guys from Alfa Romero have already worked with Italian veteran Davide Squillace, and got remixed by Robert Dietz, Betoko and Snilloc. In their version of 'Miami Force 89' they go deeper and deeper, concentrating their idea in a long break which is characterized by touching brass, melodic pads and cinematic atmospheres.

Philip Bader closes the thing with the final track of the B side. He's been around for the last 10 years with appearances in almost the biggest labels such as 'Suara', 'This and That', 'Snatch!' and 'Moon Harbour' to name a few. His remix for 'Machine Gun' is pure killer material as he definitely adds fire on this one: since the beginning of the track, the heavy kicks and the harsh usage of the vocal parts turn the original into a military gear assault weapon. The gloomy groove and the grumpy synth-line do the rest, revealing once again the real raw nature of the track.

'Helical Scan' comes straight from the Berlin 5am scene with raw breakbeat production and huge hitting pads and rolling synths. Whilst the uniquely titled 'Ceramic Unicorns' is anything but fluffy and cuddly. The pulsating hi-hat, lofi percussion and cosmic chords take you to another level.

3rd volume of our series "Moog Your Body". And back with the same formula, 4 artists that have passed through the legendary club barcelona. The album kicks off with "Mind Over Matter" from Abandoned Footwear, American Exillon project that delights us with a theme IDM cosmic touches that will make you dance endlessly acid. Then "Tempest 303" one lysergic Lash Roy Of The Ravers attacking with all his cacharreria to offer his sound classic acid. On the flip side, we have the theme "Trapped In A Fit Of Malaria" of Drvg Cvltvre a slow-cooked dark and hypnotic acid pump. And finally, the issue of Snuffo "It's Killing Me" dismisses the disc with a dance track narcotic halfway between the acid house and the new beat.
Listen:

Groove heavy synth funk reminiscent of DMX Krew and dreamy string- laden rhythms suggestive of standout tracks on Carl Craig's 'More Songs About Food And Revolutionary Art' occupy side A. The flip side is filled with deeper dance floor friendly tracks sonically reminiscent
of the Transmat catalog along with an injection of uptempo tech-house swing elements evocative of Akufen's 'Skidoos.'
Recorded in the winter of 2011 in Metro Detroit, 'More Than A Mara- thon' marks the debut release for Super Public. Predominantly re- corded with analog hardware, the EP has an innate familiarity while still maintaining a focus on the 2012 marketplace.
Rudi Thornburgh has been independently producing electronic music for over 10 years under various names but, most notably, Clocklife. Brett Cimbalik has been playing jazz guitar for the better part of his music career and has transferred his chordal knowledge to synth guitar and electronic production. Together, they form a sound reminiscent of the golden days of Detroit Techno while still exploring new terrain and bridging new ideas.

During all my years as an active musician in different constellations I have also worked continuously with my own material. A kind of unrestricted flow of creativity that has given birth to a lot of different expressions. So listening to this album is a journey through many phases in my life.'V.V.V.V.V is an album with a sound world like a kaleidoscope of moods and melodies flowing between silky kraut pop and distorted synths. Claesons takes on his debut album out experiments desire and lets his kraut background form the basis and tops with modern electronic sound
After 3,5 albums with Aerial in Sandviken it was time to go our semi separate ways. Two changed teams to YAST, one went solo with Simian Ghost. The rest (me and Joakim Westlund) joined a band in Gävle that would later become No Coda, now called The Entire Cast. During all my years as an active musician in different constellations I have also worked continuously with my own material. A kind of unrestricted flow of creativity that has given birth to a lot of different expressions. So listening to this album is a journey through many phases in my life.
It is a special feeling to release this record on Lamour Records. Its founder Viktor Zeidner has time and time again invited me to play on his experimental concert arrangements through the years. And as a solo artist I have always focused on trying things out rather than writing songs. On my album cover is a framed poster of my father's band he had in the sixties called Jahn Claesons. This album is dedicated entirely to him. He was my biggest supporter, and is still my biggest inspiration.

The latest capsule collection from pensive Vancouver visionist Zefan Sramek aka Precipitation presents a more binary take on overcast house and half-light ambience, split between a rhythmic 'earth' side and a smeared cirrus 'sky' side. Tracked live to tape and padded with Pacific Northwest field recordings of rainy forests and wet meadows, the pieces soar, sink, and spiral like small birds blown by the wind, isolated and adrift. Past cuts for Ville Nouvelle (in the duo Aquatic Language) and Jungle Gym have shown Sramek's versatility with vignette melody and soft-focus atmospherics but Earth / Sky distills them even further, into a muted, melancholic expanse of elemental conditions and emotive hypnosis. Mastered by Eric Hanson. Video stills by Zefan Sramek.

Bionda E Lupo are like little you'll have heard before, a boy/girl band like no other. Synth wave is fed a line of modern alienation, delusory disco to a disdainful drum beat, house emptied and ridiculed. Rhythms are stark, melodies are as mechanical as the lyrics. "Zug Der Vogel" is sparse, vocals intertwine in an empty embrace whilst bars sparkle. "Twoi Glasza" is more playful. Bright words shimmer against sweeping strings. The past is parodied across the EP but nowhere more so than in "Die Kinder Aus Dem Park." A former classic dug out before being peppered by machine gun percussion. The stilted rhyme of "Eckstein" closes, a ballad of bittersweet images and lost hopes.

"He Sings! He Dances! The fabulous new album!!!" says the original sticker on Dmx Krew's Nu Romantix LP and nothing changed 20 years later for Edward Uptown aka Ed DMX. Permanent Vacation marks the anniversary of this influential album with a special re-release. The album is available for the first time on a loud and sharp 45rpm double 12" (including the instrumental of "Come To Me" as bonus track). Carefully remastered by Lopazz for maximum pleasure. The music is now as relevant as it was 20 years ago, when the King of electro power ballades sings about the essential things in life and takes you to the place called love, that is more needed than ever before

Nico Nightingale, aka Neud Photo, is no stranger to collaborations. The New Yorker's latest sees him teaming up with Cristiano F. Grimaldi to form INTRZN, a partnership meshing a free style approach to melodies with cold rhythms. Their "Zone" quartet is a twilight of fluctuating moods. Percussion is bare, allowing bright bars to shine and darker moments to fester. Music which in one breath is elated and uplifting and, the next, dejected and downtrodden.

Eine Kompilation mit eigenen Arbeiten "Solipsism" zu nennen, ist eigentlich eine schöne Idee: Als Solipsismus wird in der Philosophie die These bezeichnet, dass nur das eigene Ich existiert. Mike Simonetti ist ein US-amerikanischer DJ, Elektronik-Produzent und Labelchef. Er gründete die Imprints New Jersey Records, Troubleman Unlimited, The Vanity Label, 2MR und 2006, zusammen mit Johnny Jewel in Los Angeles, Italians Do It Better. 2013 verließ er Italians Do It Better. In den sieben Jahren produzierte Simonetti eine Menge Musik für das Label. Dieses fand Verwendung in Spielfilmen und Werbeclips sowie bei Modenschauen. Einige der Aufnahmen erschienen auch als Tonträger. "Solipsism" vereint zehn DowntempoHouse-Highlights aus jener Zeit. Sie sind durch eine atmosphärisch-achtzigerjahrehafte, ins Dunkle tendierende Grundhaltung motiviert und bewegen sich passend dazu - mit Ausnahme eines Stücks - immer unter der 118-BPM-Marke. Kennzeichnend für die Titel sind darüber hinaus Gitarrenriffs, die Simonetti unaufdringlich, aber dennoch ziemlich heavy in seine Soundtrack-Dancefloor-Hybride einband. Das Ganze erinnert an den Score von "Drive" mit Ryan Gosling aus dem Jahr 2011.

A new transmission from the Pasadena Oceanlab by Versalife. The start of a new saga where he explores the boundaries between electro romantic sounds and glitchy idm percussions. Tracks that have already been highly sought after since his live performance at Boilerroom in Doornroosje, Nijmegen earlier this year. A few people might have heard this release in an already legendary dj set by Objekt during the Freerotation festival this year. More parts are on their way.

Paulo Olarte's genre twisting Latin techno tracks immediately transport you to hot nights spent on sweaty dance floors.
Powerful beats draw you in while the seductive vocals make you quiver, culminating in an intense rush for all your senses.
Perfectly rounding out the ep, Cómeme's Sano delivers a delicious remix of the super stompy track Paladar.
