iO (Mulen) lands on Drumma Records for release number 021, the Ukrainian producer displays all his powerful talent on two tracks specially made for the label, showing his originality and craftmanship.

A1 Turboss is a powerful club tool for peak time, minimal acid flashes and a tireless march makes this track a transverse pump of steady energy for any dance floor.

B1 Forceful is a special cheerful mood track that delivers fresh air within the set, always in his personal style, he explores the deep flows of house music with a jazzy mood and an abundance of syncopation. It’s an excellent b-side to this ep with two special gems for the underground dancefloors.

Leftback return for release number 18 with a full EP from the rising star Miller, resident for Zoo Project in Ibiza and his own “Real Gang” brand hosting events at Bret in Amsterdam and Underground Ibiza he is one to watch for 2020. “Don’t Turn Around” features four solid tracks all with an undeniable Leftback groove and production. A1 see’s a subtle vocal sample carry the track over the rhythm of the drums and percussion providing a versatile track that can work for peak time, early hours or as use as a mixing tool. The apetaly named “Stripped Back” completes the A side with its low slung mood picking up pace after the breakdown. The B side opens with another strong peak time track that’s been doing the rounds on dancefloors such as DC10 and VBX with it’s clicky texture and ever changing percussion modulating creating the tracks depth from start to finish. To finish off the EP “Atsuen” provides a slightly different groove in the form of a breakbeat with distinct electronic blasts from hardware synths and samplers

Acmé means "the highest peak or state" and definitely in this release you can't get any higher.

We haven't heard from Acmé since March 2018 with the highly successful Acmé 006 inc. LIZZ, Vincentlulian and Alex Font.
This period was a year and a half of deep silence but without doubt they are coming stronger, fuller and with more diversity.

Here you can find four top notch remixes from highly respected producers and scene leaders who stamped their sound signature into the Acmé universe, also a bonus track from Acmé CEO Alex Font that has already been supported and played by minimalist maestros like Ricardo Villalobos and Rhadoo.

This is a very limited and only vinyl release, be fast to grab yours!

After in 2018 he released his debut vinyl-only EP on Vivus alongside Silat Beksi, it was due time for Daniel Broesecke to take things into his own hands and he does just that with his first solo effort, backed by a very strong Vlad Arapasu remix.

We kick things off with the title track some heavy bass lines that will grab your attention instantly. As the track goes on, layer after layer is added and the result is a very smooth journey seasoned with an exquisite vocal deep in the background.

Next up we have Lockdown and here Daniel is a little more playful. You can feel it from the beginning, with some distinguishing percussions and idiosyncratic noises that give you a sense of urgency. As the minutes go by, a dark and enigmatic background noise is added and it call comes wonderfully together.

The curtain-closer is Vlad Arapasu’s interpertation of Fusion and it is an charming and meticulous effort by the Romanian producer. This is a whole different story with a complete different but all the same amazing bass line. Vlad Arapasu has managed to keep what made the original such a lovely track and add a misty layer over it, making it somehow more dark but also something that gets your feet going at the same time.

London tech-house stalwart Asad Rizvi continues the remarkable run of his Silverlining Dubs series with this, the 5th instalment, Silverlining V. The release delves into the vaults with a re-release of his 1998 smash Breezin' Thru for A side and then Asad gives his own take on another past anthem in Doodlebug's 'Loose In Your Mind' on the flip. Big tip!

London based House label Inermu brings the sixth in their Vinyl Only series in the form of this 3 track remix VA. Including remixes from James Dexter, Chris Stussy and Toman.

The On Board Music imprint returns with its third release this October, a five- track various artist package featuring material from Lanoche, Yugen, Serena Butler, Estrato Aurora and Vera Logdanidi.

Laura BCR’s On Board Music delivers its third release here, following two mini LP projects from Healing Force Project and Mesak. The ‘Point A’ project marks the beginning of a series of VA’s coming on the imprint focusing on both established and up and coming talents from different origins, stylistically ranging from ambient to techno and all meeting together on the dance floor. French painter Natacha Mankowski provided the artwork once again, and mastering was taken care of by Carsten Dämbkes.

Taking the lead is Lanoche’s ‘Love Fall’, an ethereal opener fuelled by hypnotic pads, wandering bass tones and heavily reverberated, shuffled percussion before Yugen’s ‘Phantom’ lays focus on pulsating arpeggios, choppy bass stabs and swirling atmospherics. Serena Butler’s ‘Fertile Fancy’ follows next, a cinematic four minute ambient cut employing subtly nuanced pads and bright voice like tones throughout.

Estrato Aurora’s ‘Icnita’ opens the flips side with murky, oscillating bass tones, gritty, off-kilter drums and an ever-present underlying tension before Vera Logdanini’s ‘VPlanet’ rounds out the package perfectly, delivering a reduced Techno cut fuelled by cavernous atmospherics, arpeggio bleeps and swirling low-end pulses.

For the first Vinyl release, we get groovy house tracks from Mahskov including two massive remixes from Alex Celler and Bronxy.

*Limited gatefold edition of 500 copies, including bonus 7" (Carlos Niño & Friends, Ivan 'Mamão’ Conti and WaH-ChU-KU)*

Rush Hour announces their second artist compilation Patchwork, curated by one of the label’s most loved family members, Sassy J. The Swiss DJ is the very embodiment of passion and long-standing dedication to the craft of the DJing, but also to the community surrounding the music that she lives and breathes. For the past fourteen years Sassy J has run the Patchwork night in her native Bern and in London, with guests ranging from Theo Parrish and Little Dragon to Floating Points and MF Doom invited to share their respective musical visions. Her collaborative approach stands out in a DJ world that is too often weighted in favour of promoting the individual. This compilation grows out that unique sensitivity, foregrounding a theory of curation that centres on long-term bonds, articulated through Sassy J’s personal relationships with the contributing artists.

Patchwork speaks to the grass roots values that Sassy J espouses, showcasing music by many of the artists that have joined her throughout the years in clubs, on the radio, and at home. It is an expression of Sassy J’s individual musical path that casts its gaze firmly in the future: Patchwork is made up almost entirely of new and unreleased songs that are exclusive to this collection. Patchwork captures a sound that has continued to evolve in its restless search for new musical directions. Across thirteen tracks we find forward thinking electronic music rubbing elbows with cosmic jazz and deep percussion workouts from Brazil and beyond.

There are irresistible calls to the dancefloor: 2000 Black’s UK boogie and the syncopated rhythms of WaH-chU-kU nod to the West London sound, whilst the early rave of Nu Era and Aardvarck’s sub-rattling techno channel the grittier edges of the club experience. We find machine music imbued with humanity in Larry Heard’s deep house classic “Survivor” and in Ron Trent’s WARM project, whose gentle breeze points to a different side of the legendary producer. Patchwork also opens a more immersive listening space in which the radical indie soul of Georgia Anne Muldrow, the ambient spiritual jazz of bandleader Carlos Niño & Friends, and the lament for the Amazon rainforest by Azymuth’s drummer Ivan Conti can channel the overall spirit of group interplay and solidarity. Patchwork also includes Sassy J’s collaboration with veteran producer Alex Attias, marking her own place in a universe that is held together by her singular thread.

"This is the compilation of the year!" - DJ Spinna

With another surefire fire hit in the works, Cocoon Recordings demonstrates once again it's got the stuff that keeps us coming back for more.

The Italian writer Italo Calvino described melancholy as "sadness that has taken on lightness", an idea that perfectly encapsulates the emotional pull and insatiable drive of top notch melodic techno. "Holocene" by Apir & Justin Marchacos is just that, an electronic soundscape of epic proportions, built for a huge soundsystem and best experienced under cover of a warm, balmy summer night. Executed with poise, precision and restraint, this expanding mosaic of sound has a classy musical sensibility at it's heart in the form of a haunting piano part. While the rolling beats, morphing hook lines and seductive breakdowns take the listener to the brink but never let go.

Keeping that in mind, it's no surprise to find out that Apir is actually the alter ego of Tim Green whose decade long relationship with Cocoon Recordings culminated with last year's acclaimed "Her Future Ghost" LP. Here, together with New York freshman Justin Marchacos, he continues this rich vein of form onto the flip side as we're invited on another deep space exploration in the form of "The Fifth".

A warm, percolating, arpeggiated bass line acts as the driving force on this stripped down excursion, while gentle automation lends a crackling neon glow to proceedings. It's a slow burning affair that peaks as gleaming hi hats slice through the darkness to reveal another mystical riff, danciüng and flickering in the twilight.

Human Capital EP is the second release of the Barcelona-based label Kommuna. The A-side reveals a well-crafted breakbeat piece by emerging Catalan artist Artes while CMYK brings us a slower paced, dreamy track infused with gated vocals. The B-side focuses on the dancefloor with the addictive wiggly beats of Crump’s Model Response while Pekkuliar and Driahn bring a shuffling housey groove. Track by track, we build a Kommuna of well-established artists but also unknown studio dwellers who share our fixation for music discovery without following any trends or limitations.

Following our deep and dubby vibe comes our Russian friend, Legit Trip, same drill, limited edition and no digital promotion.

To explain the project briefly, this is a vinyl only label, the first EP has an original track by Martinez on the A side, which then Tobias. is remixing on the B side. The project will continue like that on the next 12" where another artist will be remixing Tobias remix... and so it continues.The records won't be catalogued by numbers, but by letters, as they are more of a series all together. In other words there is only one original track, which is the A side of the first 'Changing Pieces' 12" and the rest are remixes.

'Pulse Code EP' by Amberflame - Andrei Zakharov's (aka An-2) side project aimed at finding the right balance between organic yet experimental sound - is a selection of top-notch electronica with the flair of old-school disco and everything inbetween. The crafty and meticulous use of a variety of custom analogue hardware give way to keeping an open mind with production and sound design, which varies greatly, but at the same time, shares a coherent quality throughout the EP.

The opening track "Hope" sets the mood with its melancholic airy strings and pulsating arpeggios developing effortlessly until the groovy guitar bass kicks in lighting things up and giving the mix a completely new perspective.

Taking a more experimental edge 'Pulse Code' is a PCM-inspired leftfield electronica piece which goes a new direction with its solid synthwork and fluent drum programming.

The title of the closing cut 'Dreamscape' speaks for itself: it is a meditative electro-focused affair

INCLUDING MANDAR & DIEGO KRAUSE REMIXES!

After the success of Burnski's debut album DNA, now come the remixes from Mandar, Diego Krause and Laura Jones

Edward makes his first appearance on the legendary Trelik label with three tracks of reduced, refined and utterly psychedelic house music for the witching hour. Gilles Aiken has been prolific since first emerging more than ten years ago, initially releasing his otherworldly jams through White before joining the Giegling contingent. His acclaimed Desert Sky alias has been an outlet for more experimental fare on Assemble Music and PAL SL, but as Edward he offers up a distinctive take on minimal house and techno that matches studio flair with warmth and personality. From the meditative sunrise lilt of "Mikko" to the uneasy machinations of "Groaning Ghosts", this record finds Edward at the top of his game crafting utterly workable club tracks for adventurous souls.

First release of the new label NOMOREDRAMA delivered by Meinschäfer & Hirte from Cologne. It's their first vinyl release what is truly unbelievable when you hear the quality and arrangement of this 3 gems right here!

Made in Germany, vinyl only, 300 copies, no more drama!!!

Does anyone knows how difficult it is being Cultureless and releasing worldwide your culture.

We guess Slow Crime is familiar to that releasing his new EP «My Culture» on 12'' this autumn on his dearest Spaghetti Monster Recordings. A raw synthetic house track pressed with looped vox as an original to start the extended play. Slow Crime Culture presence has beed confirmed by a techno remix of a BPitch Control hero Kiki, groovy and melodic remix by a freshly baked resident from Indian Bangalore already highlighted by Microcastle and Movement - Praveen Achary and a hustling classy house edit by regular Spaghetti Monster resident and Catalonist - Ivan Latyshev. Get your grove on - choose your best!'

A key player in the New York scene and boss of her own Dusk & Haze label, it was Francis Harris' Kingdoms that initially released Sophie Saze's standout two-part album, and that is where this forward looking package of highly original remixes lands. First up is German artist Roman Flügel, who’s responsible for a myriad of musical aliases and just as many different sounds. Here he is in experimental electronic mode and reworks 'Cure' into an elongated groove with twisted synth lines layering up over the shimmer, shadowy beats. It's a ghoulish track with a creepy atmosphere.
Swede Anthony Linell makes tripped out, heady techno on Northern Electronics, always with a stylish aesthetic. That continues here as he reimagines 'Aliens' as an absorbing cosmic soundtrack. Supple, rubbery drums bubble down low while broad pads and astral motifs colour the airways above and sink you into a state of trance. New York beat maker and Blueberry Records boss FaltyDL then steps up with a remix of 'Self'. It is a typically off-kilter groove that seems to float on post-jungle drums while distant synth details make for a dreamy atmosphere. Closing out this killer package is Saze's original track 'Dreams', an intense techno cut where coarse textures peel off the industrial clatter of the drums.

Swim like a fish in the ocean of Girasole house! Pesce Del Sud EP offers you the feeling of the Mediterranea and South America.

Microdosing is a series of compilation 12”s selected by Julienne Dessagne aka Fantastic Twins, and designed in collaboration with French visual artist Geff Pellet. Microdosing is a collective experiment aimed at helping you fighting back your modern obsession with happiness. You may deserve a nice day but the day does not need a nice you, nothing should be forced, everything is permitted. Microdosing will provide you with sonic healing weapons on regular basis and at irregular dosage. Those doses will favour psychedelic social techniques against self help tyranny, creation over soma, provoking over numbing, our outer-selves over our inner-selves. Microdosing refuses the fatality of the pleasure principle. Life is a struggle, time to embrace it. —— “The cure 4 pain is in the pain” The Microdosing community is an endless Tibetan geometric tattoo on a thousand backs, a black well opening on infinite space. Let us embrace the void in our lives as it is fruitful. Cooper Saver hails from L.A, a city of fallen angels. “Phase 0” is a demonic weapon of choice, its beauty rising from urban ashes. Borusiade’s “Worlds” is an industrial mantra, tribal rhythms driving you through the seven circles of agony, the voyage being the destination itself. Zillas On Acid’s “S-Test” slowly pours acid into your retina, its groove showing you that the blind are the true see-ers. Scott Fraser’s “Deliria” concludes this chapter with the serenity only known to true martyrs. This is not a soothing piece, just the realisation that peace comes from eternal damnation. Microdosing is happy to lead you through the dances that know no threshold. To the chant of “the only cure for pain is in the pain”, you will travel further through an empty eternity. (Ivan Smagghe)

Acclaimed imprint Disco Halal reveals their 1st 2019 release with Moscoman & The Organism collaborating on the 'Rite EP2 due Feb 8th! The project includes the titled track as well as the atmospheric blisters of 'Chumbai' and ercussive textures of 'Rubab', a track steeped in the Middle Eastern sonic influences of Moscoman's home country of Israel. Flipping the leading track on its head, the Disco Halal remix of 'Rite' is turned into a loopy, hypnotic edit suited for the oddballs. The EP follows Moscoman's recent remix of Three Drives On A Vinyl's classic anthem 'Greece 2000'. With truth at its center, the sound of 'Rite' RP is an open-ended prospect; a shared vision which Moscoman rounds off with his own Disco Halal mix of the opening production.
