2019 is shaping up to be a great year yet with more of the same focus on championing new and emerging artists; alongside the more established. But before all that..

Belfast is the first port of call as DJ and producer Jordan delivers a variety of party thumpers. With thanks to AVA festival and the invincible Bicep going from strength to strength; the Belfast scene is enjoying a moment with the likes of Bobby Analog, Cromby and Hammer all breaking through to greater recognition. Jordan has equally been keeping busy between releases on Abandon Silence and launching his own edits label through Lobster Theremin..

So the stars are aligning for this release, which typifies what the label is about. Each track could easily be the 'A1' and it's already been doing the damage with the likes of Tim Sweeney, Erol Alkan and a select few, until now.. Expect to hear much more from each over the year ahead.

In 1996 Paul Birken released the classic and now rare as hens teeth 'Surfin Superior' double 12" on Woody McBride's Communique label. This was to be a revered and respected record that influenced many and is still talked about and played today. Now, some 19 years later he follows it up with part 2.

Nobody works as hard at getting human sounding chattering from their machines as Birken and here he treats us to 8 massive cuts of grinding Techno that are as humorous as they are danceable.

Pressed on Orange vinyl and limited to 300 pcs.
If you like acid this record is essential.

Six slamming acid trax pressed on grey vinyl. Contributions from Roland Casper, Paul Birken, Acid Phreex and more!

On their debut album as DOVS, Tin Man and AAAA summon the ethereal spirit of acid. Tin Man, AKA Johannes Auvinen, has been studying the emotional potential of the Roland TB-303 for 15 years now, and AAAA (Gabo Barranco), a fixture of the Mexico City underground, might as well be his acolyte. While the coincidental similarities of their studio and live approaches make this collaboration feel natural, even expected, Silent Cities is anything but. We recognize most of the elements here—the ubiquitous acid box and hardware drum machines—yet Auvinen and Barranco arrive in new, mysterious territory this time out. Lush arpeggiation, breakbeats and atmosphere imbue tracks like 'Nostalgic Oblivion' with a widescreen grandeur. 'Rene Figures' recalls Specific Momentific-era Cristian Vogel, symphonic, melodic techno with a kick heavy enough for dark, cavernous rooms. Meanwhile, beatless cuts like 'Whining Acid' are as intricately crafted as Tin Man's well-loved classical work (Vienna Blues). But as a duo, they craft a virtuosic harmonic narrative almost solely with 303s. Tin Man and Donato Dozzy's 'Nonneo' was the first release on Acid Test, setting the tone for the label and unlocking new potential for the genre. DOVS' closer on Silent Cities, 'Diazepam Blues', is the label's new melancholic acid anthem and a statement of purpose for Tin Man and AAAA, two hardware masters who have created an album of remarkable emotional depth.

Cannibald Do you remember something about an LP of the 90s signed by Leo Anibaldi Yes! it's the label of Leo Anibaldi. Until three years ago his releases were on vinyl. Then he continued in digital format until now. Now it's time to release again a special vinyl!

Banging mental acid tribe. Powerfull stuff !

Tribe is a record label created by like-minded artists from Barcelona, with a bold purpose of generating and sharing their idea of timeless electronic music. The debut EP Tribe01 comprises four different yet catchy and charismatic tunes that meet at the same point - the dance floor.

As you take off from the A side, you discover an audioreactive tune 'Inertia' - a creation of Baraso & Sonodab aka Barson. The track has a genuine ravy soul spiced with an acid touch and a memorable pad that will get stuck in your head.

As you continue exploring A side, you recognize the 1996 masterpiece 'Hamstrung' by Freddy Fresh aka Modulator, head of Analog Records USA. This exclusive re-edit made with Freddy's permission has a legendary groove of 90's and filtered hats that make a good party great.

Moving on to the B side, you meet a serious dance floor burner 'Chromatic Life' - a creation of Artes. The track is a travel towards the unknown depth of acid, house and techno sounds - a journey you want to make.

As you finish your sound voyage, you discover a phenomenal 'Gravitron' by a mastermind John Shima. The track breathes a melancholic tune, garnished with John's unique charisma: detroitish pads, acid elements, and a well-balanced groove that will hypnotize with its vibe.

Zodiak Commune Records presents the second TRIP release called Mist Of Souls. This is a serie pressed on 10 inch containing long, deep and storytelling acid tracks one on each side.
One side is dedicated to Ounts (FR), member of the Fr k6tem and Celestial Bodies collective recordlabel. Lovely ambient break!
The other side you can find the local rarely gifted Lox (FR). Really nice spacetraveling sound on this one!

Ounts L'Ame Hante
When it is time for a soul to move on, it simply needs complete its final task.
After that a portal will appear...and no one knows where it is going.

Lox Nova
We enter to other side of the portal. This is the time a new star is born.
The circle is complete.

Our 8th VA compilation, spinning a web around fresh and old bloods alike.

A1 introduces Arp220, with the tripping Meur Maei. Disembodied vocals bouncing over acid drips, scorching.

A2 sees Obergman stop the clock with trademark tight productions on the tuff n sucking Chronostasis.
On the flip, the long-elusive collaboration between XY0815 and Int Main Rigid Body sees a proper release after an ultra limited run at last year’s Rye Wax’s Run Out.

The Jaffa Kid re-emerges after his Beauté Du Négatif EP with Intergalactic War Trials, weaving thick but never cloying synth work over a stepping wicked rhythm, making it all happen & dripping for the 'floor’.

Finally, newcomer Oskar Telemann sees off the EP with a crafty marriage of IDM and synthwave on Anruf Aus Dem Westen. Chilling.

5 cuts, 5 styles, everything you need to slick the floors with out of date smoke fluid.

“Introducing COSMIC RESIDENTS v. 1, the first in an ongoing compilation series from Cosmic Resonance Records. This series will showcase emerging talent from Toronto’s underground creative electronic music scene.

This first edition features local favourites and Cosmic Resonance residents Radiant Aura Faculty (aka Raf Reza), KOREA TOWN ACID and Hemingway along with (and making their vinyl and Cosmic Resonance debut) Body Butter, WeTurnToRed and Smoke & Shadows.

On the A-side, Hemingway kicks things off with Astralnauts, a deep, dubbed out boogie breakbeat burner dedicated to explorers of the astral plane featuring fellow label don Chris Evans on rhythm guitar. Radiant Aura Faculty (aka Raf Reza) takes us even deeper with the mystical 'Cid Pit Riddim', a slamming 707 acid bender sure to melt any dance floor. Things get slippery with Body Butter’s debut single ‘Lights In The Hallway’, a timeless operatic pop opus featuring Neil Rankin (aka Burt Sugar), Chris Evans (aka Mr. Bliss) and Hemingway behind the board.

On the flip side, things heat up with Shamanta Chandran’s project WeTurnToRed (recently releasing their debut EP on ORO Records), featuring the progressive modular techno odyssey 'Warm Winter', an escape from Toronto’s long and tumultuous blizzards. Emerging from the Mahogani Forest, Korea Town Acid reinterprets Hemingway’s emotional ode to the jazz aesthetic 'Blue Notes' with her trademark cerebral rhythms and a masterful bassline that elevates the original to new heights. Closing it off, we have an amazing collaboration between Curtis Clark (aka Smoke of Lab.our Music) & Em Zy (member of Nikki Fierce) called Smoke & Shadows with their stellar debut single Convincing Thoughts that features Em Zy’s hazy vocal emanations amidst a backdrop of mystical reverberations and a dark, powerful groove.”

The Acid Series celebrates over 10 years of No Way Back, with music that directly references that experience. This is the third volume in the series, to be followed by BMG & Derek Plaslaiko, and there will be four more after this pair, with records by Tin Man & Ectomorph, Dona, Romans, and Pervocet (Patrick Russell & Jasen Loveland) yet to come. They all arrive in a unique sleeve especially created for this series, inspired by the decorations of NWB. Jordan Zawideh's music perfectly reflects his personal migration from Detroit to Chicago. It somehow combines the raw elegance of a Larry Heard demo (listen to the demos of ''A Path'' or ''Acid Dreams'' and cry) with Detroit Techno and an unconscious take on the sonic exploration of Drexciya, showcased in songs like ''Magellanic Cloud'' and ''Trails of Sophia''. In Jordan's sound, the raw power of the cassette era of Chicago House combines with a Detroit Acid Dream. His debut record was on K Starke Records in 2014, and while he was working at the store, the concept for ''No One (Jacks The Box)'' came together. Kevin Starke proposed a concept for a collaboration, using an old Chicago radio ad, so Jordan borrowed a 303 & 707 from Kevin and some gear from Beau Wanzer, but Kevin never made the session. Ultimately we had master editor Gay Marvine edit this instant lost classic. Jordan has also released on the Nation box set, and is part of the No Way Back family. Jordan lives like a monk, in total dedication to learning his machines and advancing his craft. He is also an accomplished DJ. BMG on his edit of ''Magellanic Cloud'' - this is my fantasy version of this jam, its so lost in it, like a cool mature Chicago take on Gerald's jam for the Silicon Ghetto series on Accelerate, or Mika Vainio's ''Spirality''.

Up next on Ellien Allien's newly launched UFO Inc. is none other than Milton Bradley under his Alien Rain alias. The four tracks on 'The Arrival' pick up on the cosmic aesthetics of Ellen Allien's own 'UFO' EP and combine them with a hefty dose of Berlin-style techno. A true master of the contemporary acid sound, Alien Rain once again proves to be one of the genre's major driving forces.

Jean-Louis Huhta’s Dungeon Acid turns out a devilish debut album proper of Detroit-inspired
techno and 303 extrusions, plus sidewinding psychedelic dance music, recorded and edited
between 2010-2019 for his pals and admirers at iDEAL
Synonymous with Gothenburg’s iDEAL for the past decade, Dungeon Acid has become the most
vital of drummer and producer Jean-Louis Huhta’s many projects, following a musical arc since
the ‘80s which has seen him variously play with crust punk group Anti Cimex (and tour the UK
alongside Napalm Death in a van with no seats), become a member of cult Swedish rave band
Lucky People Centre, play ritual rock tribalism with The Skull Defekts, and duel with electro-
acoustic heavyweights such as Zbigniew Karkowski and CM Von Hausswolff.
Yet for all his stylistic versatility, Huhta’s heart has consistently been found in tough, driving and
psychedelic strains of house and techno indebted to Detroit since the ‘90s, and that inspiration
comes out in unexpected ways across his first Dungeon Acid album proper. Working within this
square but malleable meter, Huhta’s playfully deep character burns through in his persistently
detailed tweaks and hypnotically layered productions, where he’s unafraid to push into the red or
lower the tempo and croon like a shaman conducting ancient rites.
In 9 parts he effectively joins the dots between the psychy, punkish dance trax of Börft Records
and the Motor City mechanics of Underground Resistance, generating a singular, machine-
borne but organic flow with big highlights between jelly-limbed acid opening, through to steely
warehouse hammers, a slow and skudgy hymn to nose drip dynamics, and two belting barrels of
warped Biker Bar funk that would surely make the grade in the 313 any time between the early ‘90s
and now.
Dungeon Acid is brilliant testament to the art of marrying mutually exclusive bedfellows as much
as it is a masterclass in dare-to-be-different house and techno, all done with hard-won skills,
natural personality and warmth, with history and future at the front of the mind.

Swedish electro-dubstar Andreas Tilliander does a mean pair of acid dubs for Dub On Arrival, a new wing of Joachim Nordwall’s iDEAL Recordings institution

A longtime affiliate of the label, both under his own name and also as Mokira, Andreas Tilliander is a prime candidate to kick off their 7” dub series, bringing decades of echo chamber experience to a brilliant pair of sloshing acid dubs.

In signature style on the A-side’s ‘Expect Resistance’, Tilliander smudges the contours of a 303 and chirruping melodica until they resemble a curdled, lysergic reflection of Jamaican dub proper, highlighting its inherent links to house and techno.

On the B-side ‘Respect Existence’ he goes slower, more spacious and plasmic, like one of Rhythm & Sound’s drowsiest, a la ‘Roll Off’, but merged with early Plastikman-esque acid for a tactfully trippy, psychedelic effect Tilliander can safely call his own.

Mr. Oizo plugs in his Korg MS 20 once again to deliver new treats. From 'Viandes Légumes Véhicules' which sounds like Dopplereffekt scored a movie from Jacques Tati, to 'Dolce Vita' on which Italian crooner Phra cries his pain out after being dumped, the French U.F.O. builds a bridge between Flying Lotus and DJ Snake.

With 4 tracks, 4 rooms, 4 atmospheres and an introduction from Beastie Boys' Mike D on the track 'Nuque', 'Rythme Plat' (literally 'Flat Beat' in French) is the proper celebration fans have been excepting for the 20th anniversary of Mr. Oizo's world-famous track 'Flat Beat', demonstrating once again the timelessness of his unique music touch.

Zodiak Commune Records presents the sixth and last release in the Insectum serie called "Featherhorned EP". Produced by one of Austria's finest and member of the Multiplan Kollektiv. We introduce to you Pozek!

He is a typical multi-talent when it comes to electronic music. Expect a perfect blend of 4 tracks with both the progressive and harder sides of acid techno.

98/2: The sound of this track is making progress right from the start.
HXT/2: It's what he calls "Pozekstyle". Lovely combination of energy and Acid!
Apfelbraun by MTHK (pozek&mmths) : Analog Techno. Real Masterpiece!
XTH : Dark and energetic Acid!

Killa tribecore and mental tribe, special big up to the Sagsag23 spiraly tune

Speed Hardtek tribe, electro and acid.

Following on from the last DEXT Limited release by Otik & Dead Mans Chest we're kicking off 2019 in fine style with another limited 10' Vinyl cut with the same ethos as the previous release's , 1 rave banger with a killer remix on the flipside. This time we have invited Glasgow's party starter and long-time label supporter Nightwave to join the crew and it seems like she has been here all along.

Psychic Tonic is exactly what we are all about rolling breakbeats and thunderous kick drums and is the perfect addition to the DEXT LTD series. And if that's not enough, another of our favourites Jerome Hill (Super Rhythm Trax) comes along for the ride, and flips it totally on its head on the Remix

A.C.E.W returns on wax with a brand new EP from the label owner himself! Italian genius Emilio Urbano graces us with four no-non sense electro tracks in his typical signature. The 12'' kicks off with irresistible 'Space Lazar', a milestone of a cut that sounds like a bit of a departure from the normal A.C.E.W style, yet still retains the low end bass while creative pads, robotic voices and evil synths will alienate your mind. Perfect to warm a crowd at 4am after a smooth drop. With its pounding electro rhythm and old school lyrics, 'Let's Rock' coming next goes back into time, delivering another timeless funky electro slaughter. On the flipside, Electro Magicians', written along with Ghost Ride, signs one of A Credible Eye Witness most nasty anthem, serving up a sinister tune surrounded with industrial tones, intricate lyrics and bubbling 303 loops. A track that will haunt your mind for a while! Last but not the least, untouchable 'Prediction' brings that familiar vintage A.C.E.W style you are looking for thanks to hypnotic 909/808 kicks, synthetic swirls and heading melodies. A club banger for sure! From A to Z, massive 'Magnetic Frequencies EP' gives you what you have come to expect from A.C.E.W imprint, introducing enough vibes and dancefloor moments to propel us into the future!

J-Zbel mysterious crew is in town. The new release on Lyon-based label BFDM is made of acronyms, weird titles and masked faces. It sails between genres: Acid, Jungle, House & Ambient. Each track defines itself in a specific leitmotiv,embracing the spirit of a voodoo sorcerer. Massive piece of freaky vibes combined to make you dance the hell out of you.

Ultra-limited to 200 copies worldwide. Exclusively distributed by One Nation

A very special 4-track limited EP from Marked Vinyl, we begin with 'Foundation', a subtle, deep, hypnotic groover with enough sub-movement you know it works as soon as it starts. Next up is 'Greenfield Funk', a late-night trip where varied synths and melodic keys decorate an unassuming unmissable bassline. The third track here is 'Gaiahuasca', where pumping synths break into an all-encompassing acid bassline, as the shamans of the Amazon don the caps and sneakers of the City. Lastly, we have 'Slime', a slice of freshest dub-techno in which spaced out analogue synths and rhythms meet the mother of all basslines before erupting into spine-tingling percussion. Packaged in original artwork, and limited to 200 pieces worldwide, 'Stargates EP' excels in quality content and variety, and signals the return with audio and visual treat from Marked Vinyl.

DABJ have taken flight with their first drop of 2019. And it's another fine selection of sonic warheads from Advanced Helicopter Commander Fear-E.

Anyone who has heard the DABJ crew play out over the last year will bound to have heard some of the fire from this. "Jump On The House Train" has been a staple in our club sets and mixes, and has to be one of the most asked about tracks we've had on rotation. All four tracks encapsulate the vibe of late night / early morn' Glasgow warehouse parties perfectly. Highly limited vinyl (with hand stamped labels and cool insert) release plus digital release.

Don't let this one evade your capture...
