Acid dark progressive surprise with a solid doom base. Rave time baby !

Techno and acid revolution packset with the 2 new records from Freddie Fresh... Newskool heritage from the passed with Electro techno to acid stence !

Andreas Tilliander (Mokira, TM404) returns with a plunging set of skewed techno dubs for the mightily on-form Ideal label, his first new release for the label since the Bias Line 7' in 2010, and the
Hateless album released a decade ago.
Andreas Tilliander has gone some way to making his studio a bastion of dub music within his home city, Stockholm ever since emerging with the Cliphop for Raster-Noton in 2000 and
subsequently releasing a whole slew of influential releases for labels including Mille Plateaux, Type, Kontra and Skudge. With the heady churn of Compuriddim dispensed under his own name, Tilliander returns to the site of some of his earliest outings, Joachim Nordwall's iDEAL with a clutch of warped and murky
dub ecologies firming up as some of the most absorbing iterations of his adroitly smoked-out sound.
iDEAL were first turned on to Tilliander's music via his Ljud (2001) LP for Mille Plateaux, and have established an occasional yet crucial relationship ever since, resulting in highlights such as the
Dutty & Digital (2004) 12' and the Bias Line (2010) 7'. The Compuriddim set is the newest and most intoxicatingly textured addition to that collection; six tracks strong in pursuit of a elusive electro-acoustic geist that lives between the wires of his classic hardware, in the late night air of his studio.
In keeping with the classic tenets of dub production - less-is-more efficiency, constant movement within space - he executes a sort of psychoacoustic telekinesis with the 6 parts of Compuriddim,
skanking from the spiralling loops of drip bass and drums overlaid with windswept melodica in Twilight Circuit, to a grumbling but charming dub techno stepper on Mokirian Tekno Trak, then
letting it all go loose and floppy with the sloshing Afracid deviation of FR777 Skank.
Open Up The CV/Gate meanwhile kicks off the B-side at a bendy slow/fast bent lodged somewhere between Tin Man and AFX's slow mo Analords or Cheetah tracks, followed up by the ragged dub chord stagger of Return Of The Super Tape, and the EP's sweetest number, a bottom-heavy but dainty whorl of 303 dialogue seemingly detained for the most squashed and strange corners of the night or morning after.

Luciano Lamanna & Cosimo Damiano, known together as Assalti Industriali, release a split EP on Love Blast. Four tracks of heavy acid techno, an assault to the dancefloor on 4/4 to put your head into the speakers.

Banging tunes in an acid Un-mental style:)

Meme Pamal brings his electro-romantic electronic feeling while Matoz carry the dancefloor Mix effect... The back to Back between the 2 musicians gives the music an on-top-nonstop effect.. A bycicle lesson to dig ! B2 side offers with Ma Petite Mitsuko an excellent Acid Grower that makes the record essential as a base.

After releases on Crème Organization and Signals, Myriadd returns on the dutch label Pinkman with another four-track Chicago inspired EP.

Acid Tehcno and acid Breakz of all kind, from electro to breakcore, the whole thing with a pinch of Noize and very very fex reverbs... Dry thing in the free form of Drop bass Network and sutch kind of things... BRUTAL !

Acid Tribe, Acid Techno, in the vein of a mental pleasure for the sweetness of its progression and the Dancefloor, of course !

Dancefloor Sweating acid tribe killing music.... A bit expensive maybe but well... Label choosed it so. And music is cool...200 Limited and numbered of course... but generous on the 1 track per side massive cutl. Enjoy:)

Wicked open minded EP bringing on the A Side a bloody 160 BPM Hard techno loud bass killer and then an Acid Rave Banging tunes from Minimum Syndicate... B Side stand 2 Hardcore tunes from Low Entropy, the first one in a rave Doom sound and the second in a Speed franch Hardcore vibe... From 140 to 200 BPM !

Seasoned memory athletes will no doubt recall the Turbo's past affiliation with the former Soviet Union (Proxy, Tiga Tigayevich Khristorozhdestvensky), and recent geopolitical developments have prompted the label to once again hedge its bets. Our A&R team spent countless hours sifting through layer after layer of Russian underground music, a shocking amount of which turned out to be fake SoundCloud accounts from producers based in Florida. In fact, our best intelligence suggests that Dimitri Veimar may be the only person making music in Russia today. For the 30 minutes a day he is not trading in politically moderate Twitter-bot futures, Veimar produces dark, raw-dog electro. He has already released music with Omnidisc and Renate, so it makes little sense to us why we have to communicate with him via a mole in the Canadian embassy in Moscow, which is further complicated by the fact that the mole is also an aspiring DJ/producer whom we have to keep happy at all costs. You have no idea how much has been sacrificed in order to shield you from the realpolitik of international dance music.

A gem of a warehouse find on offer here with this superb and underrated collaboration by several giants of the UK electronic scene from back in 2005.


First up is Stasis AKA Steve Pickton who needs no introduction as a true player from the early days of Peacefrog, B12 and Pure Plastic related labels that included too many pseudonyms to mention. His track on offer '20ft Scarf' moodily drives and smashes its way in typical Anglo-Detroit style - superb.

On the Flip is the pensive, bubbling downbeat acid affair that is 'Byters'. This beast comes from the frankly staggering (and one time only) collaboration of Andy Turner & Ed Handley (AKA Plaid and formerly of Black Dog), Baby Ford, Mark Broom, Dave Hill and Steve Pickton to boot !

Limited copies only so move fast...

TRP enters the unknown armed with blistering freaked out acid tekno & bloodklart-electro kutz 4 club use only.

Absolutely rare & massive RAVE masterpiece produced in 1993 by the legendary Bad Kreuznach-based producer Martin Damm, better known to all Hardcore headz as The Speed Freak, Necronomicon, DJ Fistfuck or Wendy Milan as well as to followers of electronic music in general as Anodyne, Biochip C, Phase IV and millions of others pseudonyms.

With these four tracks on pink vinyl he explores the realms of massive early 90s Rave Techno and Oldskool Breakbeats whilst offering anthemic, tongue-in-cheek sample madness. RAVE alert and XTC!

And again - a fresh acid techno release outta space !! This time: on the A-side you find the repress of the acid techno cracker from Steve Mills & Dave The Drummer licensed from WAH WAH 021 and an excellent new acid techno track is added on the B-side from Steve Mills & Jack Wax !!! Don't miss this one !!!!

Carbone Records has been created as a platform for D Carbone's own powerful productions and for new collaborative projects. Carbon as an element represents darkness and energy which represents the concept and the sound of the label. The aim is to focus on a no compromise, raw, acid techno sound of the 90's.

A1 On the First Track D Carbone meets Gaja. Marzahn offers the right mix between the powerful and raw sound of D Carbone without losing that funky Chicago swing and Detroit groove that only Gaja can do.

A2 The second track Shout, Vocal screams bring evoking thoughts of free minds and bodies..
A powerful acid bassline and resonant background textures give anxious states of mind, with a cathartic approach of visualizing freedom.

B1 Acid Should be, It's not just a way to name a track, It's desire's expression of the soul.
A powerful kick drum, with a subtle message of psychedelic nostalgia from warehouse rave parties. 303 baselines envelope around 909 drum machines and acid vocals.

B2 Acid's Desire the slowest track on the Ep, Acid Life closes with the concrete message that acid is about communication of sound not related to the tempo, but to the vibe and the feeling that it represents.

Paranoid London with another killer tune! Heavy 808 rhythms and big acid bassline... addictive stuff! Comes on 180g heavyweight vinyl. Limited!!!

This is the first volume in a series of release showcasing the analog hardware experiments of Michigan-raised,
New Jersey raised Michael Alan Rogers aka Personator.


Running the gamut from raw, springy machine rhythms propelling the snarls of modular synths to softly pulsating
white noise adorned with lullaby-like melodies, two of the tracks were recordded straight to DAT in the artists studio,
while a third was recorded live at a late night loft party in Chinatown.


Perfect for fans of Hieroglyphic Being, Jahiliyya Fields, Nation, Trilogy Tapes, etc

MOTORWIND...when The Motor City meets The Windy City

LIMITED SUPPLY!

This is Land Of Dance! With the music by: Boston 168, Drvg Cvltvre, Jann, Dave Hargadon (Slowburn), Muskije Lycheeni, Seven Sins, Andrea Vietti. The pack will includes stickers and a CD with a selection of released tracks on LOD.

Jann arrives on Pinkman with a soundtrack of breathless panic, an ode to a blighted world of diesel fumes and indifference. Rhythms are grizzly, gored and torn. Thick chords judder, revving like a clapped-out engine as metal slashes at savaged snares. Acid scorn is poured on this inhospitable world, amplified by the haze of distortion that clouds Jann's hard and cold vision

Following on from son.sine and Sven Weisemann on Delsin's deep and house leaning series of releases is Artefakt with a new three track affair entitled The Fifth Planet EP. The Dutch duo has been making music for the mind on labels like Field and Prologue for a few years, and are experts at conjuring up atmospheric grooves that seduce your soul. Opener 'Transit' is a thick, heavy and heady track with rubbery kicks tunnelling deep. Above it, smeared, sombre synths gets stretched and skewed into trippy forms and the whole thing has you as a slave to the groove. 'From Our Minds To Yours' is quicker and more overkill, but is again rooted in rolling rubbery kicks. Hypnotic once again, the synths here are lighter, more airy and more uplifting and induce trance like states of mind. Lastly, 'The Fifth Planet' steps it up another gear, with celestial melodic patterns, heavy synth daubs and spine tingling pads all expanding around a ticking techno groove. This is expertly crafted, serene and supple stuff that will sound perfect in the dead of night on some intimate and spaced out dancefloor.

Classic Acid Techno, the first full EP on SUF from one of the leaders of the nu school

Tymoteus Cypla & Sebastian Pellowski are not like the average Polish youth slightly dumbed down by the Pan-European TV channel, Viva Zwei. They are probably the last producers daring to qualify their own music as 'TRANCE'. But for "THE SAME", this word 'Trance' is not a label stamped to a record. For them, the word means a journey in a limitless space and time frame, which brought them to get to meet, whereas they were living hundreds of kilometres from each other.

From their encounter came out a first EP entitled 'We are the Same' released by the very respected net label, Phatt Sounds. In 2010, one of their track 'Szarpiesz Minerwa' slipped into Agoria´s 'Balance' mixed compilation and a new relationship starts with the crew of InFiné (check their Podcast inspired by Gaspar Noé`s 'Enter the Void' on the InFiné website). A dark and cinematic atmosphere can characterize their Music. They build up their musical outputs with ready-to-rumble basslines, vicious synth-waves and explosive hi hats.

The Fungeez EP could not find any better shelter than InFiné : mutant and hors catégorie like most of the release of the label. Its four tracks are equally sick and euphoristic and display a sound power, which will set fire to any dancefloor.

Golden Pudel resident Helena Hauff teams up with the mighty Andreas Gehm for a split ACID record par excellance. 303303303303303303303303303 all the way!!! you know the game!!! comes on yellow marbled green vinyl.

some raw acid going down here... bring it

Chicago DJ and producer Olin follows up the debut release on his new record label, Boundary Movement, with TPI featuring four diverse cuts. Up-tempo electro, moody minimalism, old-school melodies, and chugging deep house all woven seamlessly.
The A side begins with TPI,' an exercise in minimalism and micro-detail. Unmistakably Olin's own, insistent synth stabs keep time while needlepoint percussion keeps the ear guessing. If you thought Olin's palette was limited to techno and house, A2 Corsaren' will prove you wrong — this is pitch-perfect electro in a classic style, a slow-building interplay of sci-fi synthesizers wrapped around icy cool call-and-response kicks and handclaps.
B1 Thanks Rob' is BOM02's most straightforward cut — and one of its best. Building momentum slowly across its eight-minute runtime, Thanks Rob' impresses as the larger-than-life bass swell hits. The dancefloor will be rapt - proceed carefully. B2 Hyssop,' feeling like it comes from a similar vintage as Corsaren,' might have been called ambient techno' decades ago, but its upwardly mobile percussion makes it feel as at home in a club as it does in the chill-out room. It's just the thing to close out this broad-spectrum record.

Pilocka Krach still means nothing but Pilocka Noise. She's the charming queen of Berlins Post Techno Underground and a true Recording & Perfoming artist. Her new release on her very own imprint Greatest Hits International is a conceptional framed double vinyl album and a journey diary of her last two years on tour around the globe, with Mexico, Detroit and her hometown roots in Berlin as fixpoints on her neverending agenda. Pilocka Krach is Sugar Cane & The Lost Amigos , her band and all at once. Her style is pure electro post rave simplicity, where each single sound is either raw sampling cuts or deep growling synthesis. Big basslines meet funky grooves and surprising hooks, grooving along with her own voice and a lot of other vocal features, whereever you go. Each 'n everthing gets the room it deserves and mingles alltogether to so much more, than just another stereo sum. Never heard an album that dry and that wet at the same time, with an overall fun and jam factor, that is truly touching. She took her original style more than just a few steps further and sharpened her skills in an impressive and real straight forward way of raw funkyness and true storytelling. You can't listen to it without moving. Pilocka is always surfing the right balance of how much, or better how less it needs, to keep it going, get down to the point of no return and beyond the miracle of repetition. Pure oldschool sounds never sounded that fresh and never, ever 'been told that way before.

Highly limited Lathe cut on 10" of two of Drvg Cvltvre's most played acid tracks. Side A features the straight forward acid banger The Sword Or The Key, The B side features a more experimental acid cut with The Cure and Augustus Pablo samples...
