for the past few years, young denmark vessey has been releasing a series of albums, both as a leader of carious groups and as a sideman in various others, which definitely mark him as one of the most exciting young players in music. vessey’s last album prior to this (2013’s cult classic) employed scud one for the rhythm section. vessey, in his own playing suggest that he may be forging a link between the new mainstream and prior innovations. it is to vessey’s credit that this album achieves a surprising degree of unity. there is little of the haphazard feeling that too often arrends blowing sessions by pick-up bands. it would be easier to mistake this for a group which works regularly. part of that is simply because vessey is a part of the new mainstream, the part that is seeking beyond the accepted common language to find ways of extending it. the rest is because of vessey’s unusual talent.

acid, no wave and experimental house producer drvg cvltvre has been busy recently. after releasing with chris moss acid on shipwrec in 2014, vincent koreman then served up a full ep of his own, on dutch label cos_mos and is now back once again with a new four track affair on pinkman that comes two years after he offered up the label’s first ep in 2013. up first, * my houz* is a swampy house track with heavy drums, whirring machines and white noise textures all adding up to an intense affair that sounds like little else. then comes * tyranny of the gods* , a slow tempo but high impact track that builds and builds on a nerve lead synth line as frazzled bass props things up from below. dark and weird, occult and rave, its another unique proposition. on the flip, * sleepdealer* is an unbalanced house track with taught, tight bass and is shot through with laser like synths. serene and spaced out, it makes way for closer * crack spirit guide* which is a noisy, intense and brooding fusion of crisp percussion, big walls of synth and chattering drums that really have you on edge. once agin, then, drvg cvltvre has come up with the idiosyncratic goods.

ron morelli returns to stare down the ‘floor with four pieces written during the stress-busting sessions for ‘spit’. the muggy, droning welt of ‘public consumption’ kicks off with the sound of new york techno shot from the hip, while ‘another hit’ vents a vintage era-regis style built on skull-chipping snares and effluent acid modulation. the album’s writhing batacuda banger, ‘crack microbes’ reappears here as an extra-ferric extended version, sustaining the hypnotic intensity for nine minutes of panic attack acid and febrile cowbells, while ‘’rushing again’ escorts us to a close with triplet techno shook down by railgun snares and a grotty synthline.

a shiny picture disco for slow motion records release number 7 - disco wizard by francisco from jolly music. beamed from distant satellites via 1983 and picked up by a crack team of berlin based italian disco commandoes, the disco wizard brings to mind space, the tougher end of pre-84 italo, guys with beards and grace jones and amanda lear dancing the night away. a nagging baseline propels the track forward with alternating male and female vocals that coo and tease, whilst twinkling refrain evokes the giogio morders classic >the chase<. on the flip side the dub mix strips away most of the vocals and injects some serious strut into the beats. the rougher, tougher cousin of the original to send the boys and girls wild with cosmic desire. you have been warned.

brut! records baby sister label, pop!, sees its second release with popnonames spaces. an eclectic line-up, including joerg burger, freund der familie and paid for fame, remix the original three times over to offer a varied perspective of the same brave track. revving its engine, spaces drives you to experience things. it invites you to crack yourself open so that through that voluntary rift some new future might pour. bold, beautiful and formless it emerges, washed in a golden light. a baby nebula, perhaps if you are lucky, cradled in the spiral arms of a distant galaxy patiently building mass as it clumps gas and dust together. the important things often creep up silently…recognized only once they are there, even though you had given them no shape in your mind prior to their arrival. space gives possibility to what these forms might be, boundless in four-dimensions. its that expanding medium that allows imagination to roam without end…where the need to distinguish between what you know and invented evaporates and flows pure and clear as an ice cold stream.

played by claude von stroke, timo maas, luciano, livio & roby, mihalis safras, d julz, hosh! after his huge success of the summer that was >trumpets victory< only 19-year old kiddo david august is back on stil vor talent with his second ep: sweden roof. sweden roof is also the title track on this two-track ep that is about the funkiness of house music and the glorious moments of melodies. a cut up vocal sample dominates the groove until we can hear why david august is more than a producer, but a musician after all. the great organ melody will have whole floors swinging along to this monster of musical raffinesse. this sound is like crack, once you try, you want more of it. now! and luckily there is. feeding our addiction on the flip is soul kitchen, an even more organic piece of tech-house-niceness. clap snares, pianos, a deep male vocal sample and equally as much sex appeal as dancing at the carnival in rio. this is soulful house music and it doesnt get any better. these two new tracks show that david august is no one hit wonder. >sweden roof< proves how deeply david seems to be in touch with house music - and the dancefloor.
