after a short hiatus here is the long awaited return of magic wand.

is it balearic? latest offering is from klik records man glass coffee. disclosures is a hypnotic slice of european deep house. laid back electric pianos and marimbas layered over a tight house groove. dance naked the second track follows the same kind of pattern upping the tempo slightly,building slowly towards a deep bass drop and arped string line. again more trademark layers. full on dancefloor action. the b-side brings one of the greatest italian house producers ever to iib. don carlos remix is really something special. a relentless subby double bass sounding b-line relentlessly underpins this delightfully atmospheric excursion into deepness. the coyote remix slows down the pace and dons its flip flops for a little tropical shuffling. iib hitting the spot again.

new artist daniel wainwright brings his psychedelic vibrations to is it balearic? doing it is a slow motion sleazy trip into the acid house. swirling vocals and psyched out guitars melt into chuggy acid beats and effects. coyote up the tempo a touch and strip back the whole track on their remix. dubby vocal samples and muted guitar groove along to an acidic finale. the second remix is a real thing of beauty from mushrooms project. keeping the same slow tempo and adding space and texture with mellow guitars and extra sitar. a subtlely developing tribal workout. groovy man.

clandestino head joe morris is next up on wonder stories, imparting the kind of sun-kissed discoid meditation the label and its listeners lap up. morris is sounding confident and cool on cloud nine, using vintage drum machine patterns and fuzzy synth lines to impart a sweet-natured groove that reaches skywards. contrasting the blissed out original, max essa brings a little more bite to the table with his shimmering electro-disco version, while coyote preaches his balearic vision on the b1 remix. label boss aimes keeps things smooth and steady with a deep house version of cloud nine for all dancefloor dreamers to get lost in.

after a strong first release contort yourself returns with events at the fatal party which comes over more as a description than a title, brimming with a bubbling sense of tension and fear. hamburg duo fallbeil kick things off in impressive style with a crunchy acid monster which twists and turns followed by two killer proto-techno cuts from legendary french industrial band die form from their 1985 tape hurt. here we find ourselves in a unsettling scenario with metallic voices scowling over clanging machines and guitar feedback in an unhinged way. the mysterious slugbug (l.i.e.s./russian torrent versions) starts the flip with goback, a creeping acidic beast moving unstoppably forward as a reverberating voice ripples throughout. any calm is then shattered by ibm a.k.a. jamal moss whose remix of die form hammers home a tough seven minutes of mangled synths, bubbling acid and thundering drums. a highly recommended, intense journey.

limited 12inch 180g records, single press, hand stamped, individually numbered, no repress, no digital. tusk says, -the title track from tw15 was conceived after a particular heavy tusk wax label party at renate in berlin. i went back to my old pal pork intl s place for a bit of drunk studio time and told him all about the living legend that is gizzy the fox. a couple of bottles of wine later and i was telling the story to a microphone and we were writing an oddity of a track. if you have had the pleasure to meet gizzy and spend time in renate you might understand the lyrics, if not, they ll probably just sound like the rantings of a drunk man, funny that.-

french brothers baptiste & pierre colleu have been making music together since they were children. they spent a chunk of their childhood in africa, which they say has inspired their work in the studio. that influence is submerged fairly deep on dolphin kid, the title track for these two eps. theres an undercurrent of eerie soulfulness and woody percussion accents running through this oddly alluring cosmic-house seducer, but its roots are more balearic than afrobeat.

he rothmans label combines an unlikely link between football statistics, some of the best (or worst) haircuts to grace the european version of the game, with jacking drums and acid-based rhythmics. the label dedicates its third ep to french striker dominique rochetea, with a various artists ep as strong as the back four of arsenal s 98 fa cup winning side. the nigel winterburn of the release is coyote s without the e , a squelchy and balearic groove with psychedelic vocals not too far off from dj koze mrs bojangles . aimes and scott fraser provide the ep with the composure of tony adams and the brute force of martin keown with their respective synth-led productions the kontemplation of kosmic order and heat for dust , while on the right - a would be lee dixon - drvg cvltvre, supplies the master builder , an ebm and industrious dancefloor workout.
