Ron Allen and Hayden Andre are two artist names that some may not be familiar with outside of rare record aficionado circles, but they certainly deserve to have more credit. They crafted some of the most original, fresh, deep and interesting house and techno records to come out of their native Canada. Originally released in 1991, and the first release on their soon to be cult imprint Strobe, 'Metamorphasis' is a strong statement of intent, across six tracks Allen and Andre lay down a plethora of styles ranging from the deepest house sounds to more warehouse leaning bleep style tracks, deep sub bass, dreamy washing pads and taut drum programming are all the order of the day here and boy are we all the better off for it! This is essential stuff for all house and techno lovers out there, the real deal indeed!
The duo, and their label, went on to release numerous other future classics and gems during it's lifespan, some of which will now see the light of day again via a string of fully legit remastered reissues overseen by Ron Allen himself. A long time want by many, often expensive and topping the lists of those 'in the know' 'Metamorphasis' is now available again, as it was originally released way back in '91 with original Strobe artwork intact. Remastered and reissued from directly from Ron's personal source materials it's time these artifacts were made available again for 2017. A truly essential release!

Ronnie Spiteri supplies more main room madness with his new single 'Acid Lights'.

Serious road testing and tweaking has gone into this release over the last few months; from Space, Ibiza, to Elrow and even Zoo Project in Oz we know that Acid Lights is going to seriously mess with your dance floors and brighten up your life.

Heavy kick, deep bass and sharp percussion build a classic stomping Spiteri groove. Ace FX and atmospherics swirl in sonic space and get mixed up with some serious acid vibes that build into one hell of a moment. A tectonic tech house trip made for smoke filled dance floors across the globe.

Remix comes courtesy of Do Not Sleep's Darius Syrossian. Darius gets his head down and turns up the acid level to eleven. Warming yet tight his remix aggressively pumps with classy nips and tucks growing acidic urgency.

Ronnie Spiteri's 2017 couldn't have started better. He has already completed a headline tour of Australia. Supported Jackmaster and Skream at his JUNK residency in the UK and has dates for Do Not Sleep (MOS, WE Love Festival). Anja Schneider tipped him for greatness in 2017 on Pete Tong Radio 1 in January and he has tracks coming out on Resonance, Fall From Grace, Do Not Sleep, Leena Music and more.

The fifth entry in the chronicles of Slyngshot's Yappin label is a four track EP, projecting his trademark hybrid style, popping on a low-bit train ride somewhere between the Bronx and Detroit.
New Era: Slyng's in-house style, dirty percussion, with ailing watery Rhodes. OF XTC (Action mix): A swift take-off, with fazed out keys over a romping kick, swashbuckling high-hat, and an insistent synth bass playing hide and seek, building the tension.
OF XTC (Understatement Mix): Low end synth lines bop between singing drums, tribal chant and ethereal piano loop.
Stop Playin' Part I: B-boy vocal sample with pitched up / back down again beats lending the tune a subtle drum and bass feel.

Electro, acid and deeper atmospheric cuts from Morphology in their inimitable style. The perfect soundtrack for space exploration.

Italy via Shanghai is the route taken for the debut E.P of Neapolitan producer Altieri, aka Eugenio Altieri. A designer living in Shanghai, Eugenio started to make music back in 2004, mixing music and visuals to create his weirdo production' sessions. After traveling east he founded the DesToys duo, a live project that channelled space disco and 80s commercial music.

Edo is a personal view over the modern Asia, Japan in this case. Inspired by the street sounds and bugged out day to day world of Tokyo his debut EP is four tracks of slippery head music. Chiseled from the deep seams of an intergalactic mine and informed by the dark heart of house and no wave disco this is club music from the oily underbelly.

Active Cultures proudly presents its first release, the Animate Objects EP by Tide Eman, a new recording project by Texan producer Bill Converse. 5 tracks in Converse's singular style meant to stimulate mind and body.

The much talked about Love Fever label is back with a hot new EP, this time from Absolute with remixes from Willian Djoko. It follows big records from the likes of Citizen, John Daley and Bicep and is another essential outing from this top label.
Absolute kicks things off with 'Mind Control', a moody house cut with spangled basslines gurgling about above slick rubber drums. Some mind melting melodies ripple over the face of the track and freaky vocals add lots of late night weirdness that help this one stand right out. A 'mixed stems' version of the same tune is a little roe sparse and eerie, with a big breakdown sucking you deep into the midst of this fresh groove.
The excellent 'Acid' is next and for two minutes teases with no drums and just writhing synth lines, then the drums drop and they are big powerful things that come with rasping stabs and huge hi hats. It's festival sized house music with some futuristic and trancey chords and is a truly original jam.
Man of the moment and Amsterdam producer William Djoko—fresh off some big tunes on labels like Seth Troxler's Tuskagee as well as Voyage Direct—he swerves up two remixes. The first is a deep, seductive number with weird vocals and sonar like blips that really gets into your brain, and the other digital only bonus is an epic nine minute work out that really keeps you on your toes with its urgent techno drums and nervy melodies.
This is an exciting and standout new EP from all concerned.

Pinkman's Broken Dreams welcome a new midnight malcontent into the fold, Ernestas Sadau debuts with his first 12': Gonzo on Tour. Sirens blare, samples hiss in a haze of static before a grizzled snare introduces 'Riots in Jail Near Kaunas.' Grubby basslines curl into shards of acid, full figured thump sweetened by fragile bars. 'Crackheads from Lyon' is steeped in the traditions of garage bands and D.I.Y. punk. Strings snarl and sneer at crashing drum beats, lonesome notes floating in the surge. The foul tempered 'Hiroshima (Acid Breaks Your Body Mix)' demands the flip. Beats break and buckle under the leer of lewd 303 lines, a finale bubbling over with violent intent.

There are tracks that only deploy their full meaning when pumping through the speakers of a dark club. To give shelter to the latter, Hivern kick starts a new series of vinyl-only splits dedicated to club-ready cuts by artists in our orbit. To launch the series, we count with both a well-known Hivern stalwart and a new addition to the label. Side A is dedicated to 'Cel Avall', a track that has been hidden in Marc Pinol's vaults for way too many years. With it's slow pace and direct but hypnotic feel, it sounds as if one of the pioneers of the first wave of Chicago house had spent a night dancing to Danielle Baldelli at the Cosmic club. In the B-side, 'Aurora 2', by Norwegian producer Charlotte Bendiks, also has something of the rawness and minimalism of the first Chicago sound. A perpetually fresh energy that, combined with her nonchalant vocal phrasings, provides the track with her distinctive blend of darkness, sensuality and cheekiness. The visual concept of the series has been developed by London based design studio Dr.Me

One third of London Modular Alliance and sought after electro artist Pip Williams (aka Phil Ventre) graces CPU with some acid drenched electro-funk. Over driven 808 percussion and 303 basslines slice through this EP with searing accuracy creating a highly effective DJ weapon.
Ventre's Jedi like synthesis skills are inspiring, with sublime sculpted leads and sci-fi bleeps rhythmically scattered throughout, all 4 tracks give you an insight into his synchronised sub-oscillating mind.

Two established producers and recent Brooklyn transplants, John Barera (Dolly Records, Jack Dept.) and Ike Release (MOS, Mister Saturday Night), strike a fresh partnership yielding this potent EP of upfront and dancefloor-ready jams on EPISODES! The now Brooklyn-based label sees John Barera join the fold for the eight edition, appearing as the only producer not from Chicago, and the first Brooklyn producer to appear on the label. EPISODES08 arrives as a limited edition, hand-stamped white label with a full color half page insert in the EPISODES label sleeve. Mastered and Manufactured in the US.

The free will of Struments has led them to concentrate in one 12inch the encyclopedic knowledge of Marc Pinol, a duo of kids that present themselves as T.A.L., and the responsible for all that, Spastor, that appears in a remix signed by Florian Kupfer. Lliure Albir sounds as if Pinol was dazzled by the light of a lantern in a chill out while Paranoid London resound in the next room. In his remix, Palms Trax bet on tom toms and certain tribal groove, adding soft eighties keyboards, deep atmosphere, speeches and dub deliriums that perfectly fit in the freak universe of Pinol. Florian Kupfer remix made of Spastor's Death In La Paz: a hit made in the German musician style whose groove is created by a fold in the sound and the apparent imbalance it has with the bass drum. If after this dawn breaks, it will not be small thing. T.A.L. are guided by a retro-spatial pulse to open a fan of sounds that expands and contracts threateningly, and delicately form what looks like an EBM hit stripped of the hammers.

Straight out of Queens NYC, Love Letters makes their debut on YIELD. The 5th tape release is accompanied by the first vinyl release of the imprint. Love Letters provided 3 stunning and diverse cuts of the track 'Ducue', traversing the variety of early house sounds.

The 'Single Mix' is the classic House jam with a warm piano, jacking groove and seductive vocals by Love Letters themselves. 'Xtended Dick Dub' sets the mark at a stripped back and hot pace. Its penetrating groove and thumping low end will make it impossible for any dedicated dancer to stand still and ignore the energy. On the flip side is the 'Turtle Bugg & L.L. Free Edit', a collaboration with DJ and friend Turtle Bugg, which will literally vibrate the sweat off the ceiling with its 808 and 303 violence, showing no mercy for those who fail to yield.

Joining the Unknown Precept forces are C.G.I. Records' label head Matthew Wei- ner teaming up with Christopher Daresta as Pyramid Club. Being known for their T.W.I.N.S. and Anticipation solo activities, Cyclic Obsession comes as the debut re- lease of the four-handed formation taking its name from the eponymous venue which helped define the counterculture and queer sound of lower Manhattan in the late 70's. Recorded in their stronghold of Atlanta following a handful of tracks released via the jointly-operated D.K.A. Records, it shows the duo taking over primitive body music in its most physical and psychedelic dimension. Thick as a brick bass lines for the basement turmoil — reflecting the hazy vortex smoldering out of an ill-lighted nightclub. Think of spasmodic synth-driven tunes interspersed by convulsive vocals and throbbing snares, in which one could see the whites of the dancers' eyes right before the lights turn back on.
