Gone from his first ever set to international gigs & festivals, receiving support from the likes of Dixon & Tycho, and amassing millions of plays online over the space of little more than a year, Aleksandir has definitely had a good year. Following his acclaimed Yamaha EP and Contrails LP, the Artesian Sounds boss releases his first EP on the label.

Aleksandir turns towards a darker mood on ARS003, which contains some of his most club-friendly & high-bpm tunes to date. Having received a wide range of early support (Maxxi Soundsystem, Seb Wildblood, Nachtbraker, Matt Karmil, object blue, Kiasmos), BBC 6 airplay, and forthcoming promotional coverage on Mixmag, Houseum, Bolting Bits & Delicieuse Musique, ARS003 is off to a good start. Moving away from the naivety of his previous sounds and incorporating a range of newly found inspirations into his soundscape, ARS003 contains some of Aleksandir's most high-bpm, club-friendly tracks to date.

Aleksandir will be on tour leading up to and during the release of ARS003, confirmed dates include Berlin, Bucharest, Paris, Istanbul, MS Dockville Festival Hamburg, Toronto, Quebec City & Piknic Elektronik Montreal.

It’s Round 3 for Capcom and Laced Records’ Street Fighter Alpha series, as we present the complete Street Fighter Alpha 3 soundtrack on vinyl.

The Alpha 3 music team comprised Takayuki Iwai, Yuki Iwai, Isao Abe (aka Oyaji), Hideki Okugawa, and Tetsuya Shibata. Working with the CP System II hardware and QSound system, the composers delivered a more contemporary, crunchy, and techno-led soundtrack in contrast to its predecessors.

All music has been specially mastered for vinyl by Joe Caithness, and tracks will be pressed onto audiophile-quality, heavyweight 180g discs. Comic book illustrator Andie Tong returns with stunning sleeve art.

Electronic artist Kristian Shelley - AKA Inwards - announces new EP ‘Feeling So Fun Reality’ for October 8th via Brighton based tastemaker label Small Pond. ‘Raindrops’ is the first single taken from it, and is out on July 29th.

The EP is a sister release to 2019’s ‘Feelings of Unreality’ EP - merely shifting where the spaces between the letters land to flip the meaning entirely on its head. Whereas the 2019 effort was laced with anxiety and cyclical internal conflict at the perspective destroying, fathomless possibilities of ideas and scenarios built in the mind, ‘Feeling So Fun Reality’ reflects an optimism grounded in the real world. In this, it takes on a similar human warmth to the best work of Aphex Twin, Clark or Boards of Canada.

‘Raindrops’ is an apt opening gambit in this sense, combining technology and the earthy tangibility of the natural world. Precise modular synths, inspired by the rain, are twisted into wordless conversations conveying a million and one different meanings to a
million and one different ears. This points to the reason Inwards favours instrumental music over lyrical - the capacity to run off emotion without fully understanding what it is you’re channeling per se, and the multitude of interpretations on the receivers end.

The second in the series and a selection of brand new cuts which Circus boss Yousef has been championing in his DJ sets for some time.
A collective of energies & styles, artists & friends, to create a sequence of creatively broad dance floor club tracks.
Reboot makes his return to the label with another ace, and a track that sees him step away from the trademark latin drums and micro-particular drum programming, and replace them with a relentless demonised funk on Saltea.
Krankbrother (aka Danny and Kieran Clancy) are an act making waves with their recent run of release.
Renowned as the brains behind London's hugely successful Krankbrother parties as well as festivals & clubs all over the world, the duo are rightly considered a power in the UK's electronic scene.
Here they debut on Circus with classic house sensibilities running parallel with a fresh vibe that without doubt makes Circular Thing to be one of the stand out tracks of the year.
HK & SKI, two of house music's most revered maestros team up for a return to Circus Recordings.
Harry and Joeski offer more of house music's authenticity over their trademark slammin beats on In Jazz.
Yost Koen also makes a welcome return to Circus with a more aggressive tone, offering an unfolding techno cut that captivates from the first beat all the way to its gnarly crescendo. Rich Me Up is a real gem.
Finally Italian newbie Cliff Jack makes his debut on Circus, and similar to Louis Proud's recent monster release on the label, the track was discovered via the Circus Recordings demo box on facebook.
A track label boss Yousef has been playing for many months, another find...

With the success of The Vendetta Suite’s critically acclaimed debut album ‘The Kempe Stone Portal’ - Hell Yeah Recordings proudly present the remixes, featuring long-time friends and collaborators David Holmes and Timmy Stewart.

The 90s in Belfast spawned friendships and connections made across the barricades; a time credited with some of the most important and significant cultural moments in the history of the city. Club-nights including the Art college, regularly played by David Holmes and Iain McCready helped to spawn a new generation of musicians and DJs looking to make their mark; Including both Gary Irwin (The Vendetta Suite) & Timmy Stewart.

Prins Thomas veröffentlicht seine Alben 8 und 9 in zwei Stufen, jeweils als LP sowie am Ende gemeinsam auf einer CD. Er beendet damit eine Phase, in der er hauptsächlich Mixe und Remixe für andere Musiker erstellte, während er seine eigene Produktionsarbeit hinten anstellte. Davon befreit, bestreitet er seinen neuen Doppelschlag fast in Eigenregie, einzige Ausnahmen sind die fähigen Hände von Bugge Wesseltoft ('8') und John Carroll Kirby ('8' und '9').

Singularity beginnt und endet im Kern seiner Dinge auf der gleichen Note: der emotionalen Ehrlichkeit. Hopkins, beeinflusst von jahrelangen Erfahrungen mit Meditation und Transzendenz, bewegt sich durch ein selbstgeschaffenes Universum, das sich unaufhaltsam ausdehnt und zum Schluss wieder zu einem unendlich kleinen Punkt zusammen zieht. Nahtlos geht es dabei von rauem Techno hin zu choralen Melodien, und von Solo-Piano Etappen über zu psychedelischem Ambient. Wo Immunity sich in die dunkle Realität einer epischen Club Nacht stürzte, erkundet Singularity nun die Dissonanzen zwischen dem urbanen Leben und der grünen Natur. Was beide Alben verbindet, sind ihre unmessbar breiten musikalischen Sound-Paletten.

So steht auf Singularity die Erkundung der Verbindungen zwischen Geist, Klang und Umwelt im Vordergrund und vertont so die verschiedenen geistigen Zustände, in denen Hopkins sich während des Schreib- und Aufnahmeprozesses befand. Und so viel sei schon verraten. Durch die ernüchternden Erfahrungen, die Hopkins mit dem Blick auf die heutige Welt machte, blieb ihm die letztgültige Schlussfolgerung, dass ein wahres Gefühl von Frieden und Zugehörigkeit nur aus der Einzigartigkeit der Natur gewonnen werden kann.

It's time to kick ass and chew bubblegum. Looks like Funkycan’s all out of gum.
Following a string of releases on labels such as Beatbude, Workshop’s Out To Lunch and Tax Free, Am Kinem aka Funkycan is back with "Combo Breaker", his 2019 release on AVA. Records. Filled with more handsome terror straight out of Neukölln. Come get some!

Sharing his InBach album with the world in 2020 set events into motion that ultimately led to Arandel making second edition in the critically acclaimed, borderless project that unites rare instruments, musical reimanigation.

Arandel unites once again behind the musical phrases of the Leipzig composer specialists of ancient and modern instruments (Thomas Bloch), modern synthesizers and moogs, strings experts (Gaspar Claus), and the poetic spoken word of Myra Davies and Bridget St.John.

Textextext - (add your write up)

"There is a Bach for everyone" Arandel says, "and that discovery is what led me here, to InBach". Beneath the intricate history, the godlike adoration placed upon Bach, he was a playful musician, an eclectic one even. And so, a full year after the release of the first InBach record on InFiné, there is enough material to make a second one. "There is so much about Bach I didn't even know when making the first one - but after the release, people kept coming to me, telling me about certain pieces I should listen to or rework; songs that I had never even heard of."

The second InBach grew like a garden from the seeds of the first one - an eclectic journey through melodic fantasies, intricate sound design and a certain Pop silver lining. Some tracks were born out of Arandel's band performing on stage, experimenting with the songs live and composing them anew, like "Nos Contours", a new, French-lyrics version of Bodyline with Ornette, Arandel's stage partner.

InBach vol. 2 is a logical consequence then, of someone diving into a pool of music and history so large that it is being chronicled to this day. A substantial part of the instruments used on the lofty, eclectic album were recorded at the Musée de la Musique Paris: rare instruments like the *Erard square piano, ondioline, Zach's cello, Stroh violins*. They help shape the unique sound of Arandel's InBach project: sometimes _eerily familiar, always otherworldly and elusive.

In the vein of rare instruments, the first guest musician Arandel approached for InBach was Thomas Bloch, who lends his gift to four tracks over the two albums, playing the ondes Martenot, one of the first electronic musical instruments ever invented. Thomas has worked with many major artists in his career of ike of Radiohead, Gorillaz, Marianne Faithful, Tom Waits, Daft Punk.

The record travels *between styles, ideas and moods elegantly - it is a distinctly fun and personal album. Freeing himself from the weighty shackles of expectation surrounding the classical maestro, Arandel goes for the core of every Bach piece he tackles, making them his own. on "Octobre", based on Air On G-String, from Orchestral Suite No. 3 D-dur, BWV 1068, his nephew tells a dreamlike story of an ominous gang of children, literally blossoming in the mud. "Fabula" - featuring the French singer Scalde - based on the melancholic, Christian lament Meine Seele wartet auf den Herrn, becomes a grandiose, auto-tuned pop ballad on InBach vol. 2, featuring the virtuoso cello of fellow InFiné associate *Gaspar Claus*.

The use of spoken word is another new layer to InBach, and acts a lyrical thread carrying the listener through InBach vol.2: the closing track features Bridget St.John, John Peel-associated folk legend from the UK to offer to collaborate on a poem for this second volume, she replied to him with a line from André Gide : "You can't discover new land if you aren't willing to lose sight of every shore". A lovely way to sum up the InBach experience for both artist and listener.

The eighth part of the beloved Sampler series by The Very Polish Cut Outs is a love letter to the 90's of the last century, when, after more than 40 years, Poland finally became a democratic country and most Poles were experiencing the good and bad sides of wild capitalism.

It was also the teenage years for the majority of the producers and DJ's associated with the label and also the time of various musical experiments on the Polish music scene.
The new 12" from the ongoing series contains 4 new edits/remixes of some obscure tracks from the repertoire of several more and less known artists from the Polish scene.
This time the editing/remixing work is done by DJ Duch, Pejzaz and a new promising producer from Szczecin - who goes by the nickname - Speek.

Boy Harsher’s latest release, ‘The Runner (Original Soundtrack)’, is an exorcism.

Augustus Muller and Jae Matthews’ fifth release entitled ‘The Runner (Original Soundtrack)’ is not a traditional album. Rather, it is the soundtrack to a short film, also entitled ‘The Runner’. The film, written, produced, and directed by the duo, is a searching horror film, attached to a meta-style “documentary” about Boy Harsher’s recording process. The album includes several distinct components: cinematic arrangements, vocal features, and of course classic Boy Harsher dark pop.

Both the album and short film will be released in January 2022.

Last year, in the midst of the obvious chaos (the global pandemic), but additionally with Jae’s MS diagnosis, Augustus started working on moody, cinematic sketches. It was uncertain what these pieces would become, other than catharsis. In Jae’s period of convalescence, she kept thinking about this sinister character: a woman running through the woods. Together, they developed this idea further into a film. They were unable to tour, a drastic (and isolating) shift in their career, and making ‘club music’ did not feel right. But there was so much they needed to get out. The next Boy Harsher release would be a reconciliation of this time. The album processes feelings of universal anxiety and the confrontation of at home illness. A necessary expulsion during a time of unrest.

The album opens with “Tower”. The only track on ‘The Runner (Original Soundtrack)’ that Boy Harsher has previously played live, but never recorded. The song is an incantation, with its pulsing synth and Jae’s begging vocals. A spell about desire and impending destruction. Jae asks 'But are you honest? Do you trust? You trust in me?' Questions answered by her desperate yells. It starts both the film and the soundtrack with a heavy presence.

Two songs on ‘The Runner (Original Soundtrack)’ feature vocalists other than Jae Matthews. He allows a distinct sound for both vocalists and really leans into the possibility of divergent genres. “Machina”, is a HI-NRG homage, performed by Mariana Saldaña of Boan, and “Autonomy” a new wave tribute, performed by Cooper B. Handy of Lucy. Augustus Muller fully embraces the soundtrack ethos, by creating fictional ‘bands’ to generate additional content.

‘The Runner (Original Soundtrack)’ is exactly what’s in the name: a soundtrack. At first the shape of the release was nebulous - yet once realized the album is dynamic. It serves as the story of the running figure and her musical accompaniment. Those expecting a traditional release will be surprised, but not disappointed.

Die Londoner Produzentin und DJ Elkka (bürgerl. Emma Kirby) kehrt mit ihrer neuen EP, „Harmonic Frequencies“ zu Technicolour zurück und liefert eine passende Nachfolgerin der von der Kritik gefeierten EP „Euphoric Melodies“, die Anfang des Jahres erschien.

„Harmonic Frequencies“ wurde während einer Zeit der Unsicherheit in den letzten Monaten des Jahres 2020 geschrieben und zeigt Emma, wie sie die Emotionen, die sie zu dieser Zeit empfand, verarbeitet. Vom tanzbaren Opener „Harmonic Frequencies“, in dem Emma energiegeladen und ausdrucksstark den Vibe der vorherigen EP, „Euphoric Melodies“ fortsetzt, bis hin zu den atmosphärischen und kathartischen Momenten in „Music To Heal To“ und „Voices“ (in dem wir Julianna Barwicks meditativem Gesang hören), in denen ihre Absichten darin bestehen, zu nähren, zu beruhigen und wieder aufzubauen. Die EP ist eine Ode an die heilende Natur der Tanzmusik in all ihren verschiedenen Formen.

Originally a digital-only release, this album carries the Toronto electronic music artist's body of work into a temporal loop of sorts, uniting a bond with Wave Science, his June 2021 EP on Pacific Rhythm. City of Rooms was completed in February 2021 and written as an escape during pressurized times. It invites an abstract style of listening in which any given sound links to various moments throughout the album.

The EP flows like scenery on a long train ride. Track lights pass with a rhythmic certainty as foreground and background twist around each other. Listeners will be transported through a geography of sounds that function as independent parts of a whole. Triangulations occur as elements fall into different forms of relief against each other.

A sense of technologically alienated mystery envelops the wings of this album in the distant clicks and hums that churn beneath jeweled synth extremities. Rings of Roland toms and hi-hats pierce clouds of ambient pads, the signature chaotic truth of acidic 303 patterns cross time kept by a twitching rhythm section rendered in field samples from the local grocery store. Arpeggiated slopes built off of echo and fuzz ascend, a remote whistle answers the syncopated call of a güiro before transforming into a cricket in flight and revealing that there is a latin backbone to much of the percussion on City of Rooms.

In a few instances Emissive hides gemlike hooks beneath minutes of intricate construction.The album opens with Quartz Register, a steady and intricate gallop of servos and circuit noise at times verging on conga.On Natural Springs, an acid riff announces an amazingly perplexing synth güiro solo. Sunset Yellow sees tubular horn-like barks emerge in a flurry before pulling off to form a sparse alternating backbeat that haunts the rest of the track. The final track, Constellation of Friends, is an arrangement of familiar 808 samples treated to an exquisitely measured mix that turns an 808 cowbell sample into an otherworldly clock.

roduzenten-Veteran Thee J Johanz aus den Niederlanden, gleichsam ein Meister von Technik, Deepness und einer Prise Humor, debütiert auf Running Back mit einem 4-Tracker, der den Innovatoren des Electro-Disco huldigt: Giorgio Moroder und Patrick Cowley. "Kickin' In" ist gar ein Patrick Cowley-Cover, dessen Einnahmen an die San Francisco Aids Foundation gehen.

X4 INDIVIDUAL PIECES WITH “M1” SETTING THE TONE FOR THIS ALTERNATIVE ELECTRONIC 7” PRODUCED BY THEME.

Calling all blowhards, cosmic-jesters and techno-goons:Bintus is back at the juggernaut’s wheel, belching flames and generally causing a right old stink. After a five-year hiatus adrift in the fusion zone the angry behemoth returns to bring the pain. Grinding his gears hard on this toxic two-tracker, old man Bintus throws down a barbaric acid gauntlet; guaranteed to satiate the inner panel beater in even the most battle-hardened rave warrior.

In true Power Vac tradition Bintus bows out with a brace of scree-face electro grinds. "Rag It!" gets medieval on your ass then quits the scene in a wheel spin of cosmic dust; leaving your brain to cessate in rapturous turmoil. Millennium Speaker Stand slaps a gutsy acid line against a pock-marked 7/8 beat, while in the background the fabric of society breaks down - a not unwelcome aural distraction in these turbid times.

So, enjoy one last night ride thru babylon with Thee Prince of The Retail Park. As the tyre smoke recedes we are left in a haze of joy, sensory disorientation and the hope that visionary lunatics like Bintus will continue to rescue our souls from the stasis grip of consensus reality that threatens to consume us all.

Completing a fantastic triptych of LPs for 2016, Will Saul's Aus Music is delighted to announce a debut full length from Youandewan. The Berlin based Brit's ten track 'There Is No Right Time' lands in October 2016 and shows a very real development of his deep house style. Youandewan is Ewan Smith, a DJ and producer who has quietly but consistently gone about fomenting his own tender brand of deep house. He has been doing so since 2009 and most recently settled on this label with tracks that are shy but seductive, and full of both motive and emotive forces. This album stays true to that narrative, but really sees the producer finding his feet with his most accomplished and elegant work to date. Much of the music was sketched out during a wintery Berlin three years ago. Having left London, hungover from a breakup, Smith found himself broke and secluded in an apartment for four months. All this lent the music he wrote a melancholic vibe, one that nods to the lonely nature of the job and to the darker side of constant partying and all that comes with it. A swelling, expansive piece of melodic atmospherics starts things off, then the soft hues of some analog chords bring a neon glow to the weightless whirl of 'Be Good To Me, Poly'. Soaring synths marry with a raw drum and bass combo on 'Waiting for L',
then 'Time To Leave (Can't Mix)' resets to a piano laced beatdown vibe that is willfully wallowing. '10405 (Alice)' is a
shimmering, crescendoing piece, and from there the second half of the album begins to take an upward and optimistic swing through the floating, graceful harmonies of 'Our Odyssey'.
'Something Keeps Me Real Quiet' is a concession to the floor with its rusted electro slither, 'Left On Lucy' calls upon friend Huerta for a flailing bit of hi-tek soulful house Derrick May would be proud of, and 'Earnest Kelly' nods to the '80s with its stomping retrosynthesis. Finally, '4D Anxiety' allows all pent up emotion and energy to dissipate via a playful hip-hop jam effortlessly tapped out on an MPC. Essentially, this is a listening album that proves deep house done needn't be reserved for the club. It is
vulnerable and musical, and stays with you long after it finishes playing.

Quack is Duck Sauce's classic 2014 LP, which includes the hit track "Barbra Streisand".

Monotone is setting out on a mission to make 2020 one of the most productive years of the 19 since its inception. Exzakt teams up with fellow Electro Breaks legend, BFX and the output is very strong. Originally produced for submission to an Egyptian Lover compilation, Nasty girl is laced with vocoder vocals as well as a female voice over hard hitting bass beats and deep baselines. This is a tune tailored for the club however retains its depth like many Exzakt & BFX tunes usually do. With Nasty Beats is the instrumental. As if Side A comes just as strong. Starting with BFX, Jelly offers his signature melodic sound along with low end frequencies all culminating into a solid Electro tune. Finally a deep cut from Exzakt, Taking Over The System is a perfect end to this future classic vinyl.

Composed between Paris, the countryside and Los Angeles, this new album wants to be "more assumed and heterogeneous", and
returns to the first influences of Birdy Nam Nam: funk, rap, and trap, mixed in their very electro style since the Manual For Successful
Rioting released in 2009. "We want to make music that speaks to people beyond how it was made. We want to express emotions,
happy or sad or a little emo, and that the listener does not stick to the form but to the substance, "says Little Mike. And on the program
of this new effort, new collaborations with singers, a great first for the group: the Franco-Vietnamese Mai Lan, who sings on the title
Dance or Die, and the Swedish Elliphant, which we find on the next single, Lazers From My Heart.

Finally on wax after an 8-year odyssey, we present Benden’s, ’Montbui’.

A crunchy mp3 of this grail found its way onto Acid Pauli’s USB a while back, & since being rinsed by him, it’s bubbled up all over the show; dropped on a ton of mixes, podcasts & parties, racking up 45,000 plays on Soundcloud in the process.

On the flip, we’ve enlisted Manchester’s slo-mo magician, Mark E, to flex the re-rub, and as always he hasn’t disappointed; turning in a deep, swampadelic machine-funk take on the original…dynamite !!!

Industrias 94 strikes again releasing 9 Raw Cuts, handly crafted by the Electro Don: Rise Black!

The Greek, settled in Seville, provides us the results of his sonic investigations, in its purest form, without any adulteration, raw. Those were processed without any loss by our acoustic technician Polen Ralph, and then brought to real tape by the engineers from Envelope Structure.

This tape is the third volume of the Raw Cuts series, a compilation of sounds recorded directly from the machines, without any cuts or depurations, raw. You can find the previous volumes by Lorenzo Soria & OYE in Industrias94´s Bandcamp.

Remember the material inside it is really flammable, it can cause damage in ankles, knees and toes, if the dancefloor isn’t disposed correctly for its funktions.

Aparde's new album, Alliance sees the German musician retreat from his recent experimentations with avant-gard pop music back into the world of deep, and oftentimes dark, electronica. For his previous album, Hands Rest, Aparde ventured outside Berlin's club scene through the use of his voice, which gave his music a softer and more intimate edge. Alliance is no less intimate, except this time the musician's vulnerability seeps through the cracks rather than taking center stage. With Alliance, Aparde brings listeners deep into his soul, a soul that is at times conflicted and agitated and at times low-key and solemn. And as he does so, the listener's own mood is muted and lifted in a journey of quest, dance and healing.
