for the latest instalment in the apollonia story we look to argentina and the talented producer federico molinari. having been based in germany for the last couple of decades, federico has refined his sound, developing a strong signature through his dj sets and his studio productions, most of which he has released via his label oslo. federicos ability to craft effortless grooves and timeless rhythms is evident here on this killer new three-tracker. side a is the eight-minute long roller * congo toys*. the focus here is on a crisp 4x4 beat, which keeps things simple – under this lies a sturdy bassline. all the while, the low end is accompanied by a series of bleeps, which could almost be the chatter between two archaic computers, modulated and weaving in and out of the beats and bass. on the flip, we have two more dance floor-ready joints. like * congo toys*, * tres cuartos* is focused around a simple foundation, with layers of unusual effects – an overriding sense of playfulness comes through in molinaris production, perfect for the boogie down crew. last up, * joyfex* takes us further into leftfield, hypnotic, hazy atmospherics draw us into their web and we are tangled up in a mesh of vibrating whirrs and echoing, distorted voices. sublime business from an apollonia favorite…

one of kompakt s most mythical entities, superpitcher has always followed a thoughtful and rarified release policy, rather honing a record until it s perfect (and risking longer periods of time in between outings) than rushing it out, its a release rhythm that suits his idiosyncratic approach to dance music, not so much churning out floor fodder than creating timeless classics on his own terms. as one of our longest-serving artists, he has still managed to build an impressive portfolio, especially if you consider the ratio of iconic tracks per release. it s no wonder, then, that at any given time, a big part of his back catalogue seems to be sold out. five years after the highly acclaimed, award-winning full-length kilimanjaro (kompakt 222 cd 80), it is time to revisit superpitcher s unique body of work with so far so super, an enticing selection of some of his most cherished cuts - acting as our 2016 vinyl offering for this year s record store day, it collects highlights from all stages of his career, the underground club bangers as well as the conceptual album work. from opener jackson (as featured on pop ambient 2012) and early successes like heroin, baby s on fire (from total 4) or total confusion/speicher anthem i walk to signature tracks like happiness or rabbits in a hurry, you ll find lots of magical moments to unearth or rediscover - all in one jam-packed, gorgeously wrapped vinyl release that no serious fan of electronic dance music should miss out on.

stamp records delve into the past for their next release, giving a new lease of life to one of swayzak s least characteristic and most sought-after tracks. swayzak are true heroes of the uk underground, having clocked numerous seminal releases in the late 90 s and early 00 s straddling the grey area between house and techno. disco dub plate volume 2 - originally out in 2000 - was an obvious anomaly in the duo s discography, that has managed to forge a path of its own amongst a completely different crowd to swayzak s usual disciples. one cut from that ep, stronger love , is a carefully arranged marriage between a certain pair of quintessential aor darlings and the soul voice of the 80 s. can we be more specific? no can do...it shouldn t really work, but somehow it does! it s been caned by many a balearic dj over the years, including mark seven who included it in his mythical originals compilation, where it holds its ground amongst other balearic heavyweights. as an added bonus for this 2016 edition we re treated to two brand new mixes ! frank agrario teases in bits of the original making for his chunkier version that is aimed squarely at the dancefloor, while brun (1/2 of swayzak) delivers a bang up-to-date dub that keeps its elements to the bare minimum, building into a deep hypnotic house chugger.

studio barnhus love affair with lukas nystrand von unge continues with his second ep for the label, a collection of six tracks recorded between 2010 and 2016. from a1s sturdy take em-to-church organs, through a goulash of the sweetest, roughest lil’ house jams you ever heard, all the way to b3’s cut-up disco jubilation, this record is a perfect example of why the sounds coming out of tensta tape academy remain so endlessly fascinating to us. love story to be continued shortly - in the meantime: go grab your copy real quick, deejay!

arapus ever evolving producer skills are once again showcased on his own label, now on its second release. like a meticulous fractal designer, arapu fills the space between the fast paced beats with simple sound structures, interconnected at a subconscious level. to fully understand the beauty of it you have to follow the techy tribal accents from hazard, the 80s’ electronica theme hidden into so doo or no more space’s dark sci-fi soundtrack bassline that would surely put a lot of pressure on the undergrounds soundsystems. liniar 002s sound is definately crafted for those dancefloor moments when the visceral bassline makes way for strobes scattered into the thick atmosphere

nous klaer welcomes cosime, a collaborative project between longtime companions arif and job. their debut ep consists of three tracks, including an outstanding version of the a1. most of the record was recorded and arranged on several autumn days, home away from home, facing a freshwater lake. field recordings, made on a former island that is now a peninsula, provide the basis of the hilary ep. on the b side the recordings lay over solid drum programming, centred on the offbeat hat. on the a side fyr offers a more fluid take, resulting in a splendid play of samples and rhythms sewn together. the alternative take of fyr takes on an anything-goes approach, highly club appropriate though moving away from the rhythm backbone. excellent music for pedaloes.

key artist of the lumie&#768,,,,,reslanuit (lln) booking agency, david is also becoming a key artist for the label. right after his remix of roisner s piano roll ep (lln003) for the london-based label first year anniversary special release, david k is back with a solo ep: wrung door (lln004). according to david: wrung door oscillates between cold and warm, deep and groovy universes with a strong industrial touch, whereas lightly dark mimics the musical elements of wrung door but uses them in a different way in order to guide the listener to a different world. finally, broken swatch is a rather narrative and lyrical track. in summary, wrung door (lln004) gathers in one ep the two different sides that lumie&#768,,,,,reslanuit aims at developing: one refined and crisp and one dancefloor-driven.

mister ho and heap are ambassadors of the river danube. this is their first offering for the esp institute. on side a, collision resistance throws us into the bowels of an underground sex lair with an adrenaline-laden heartbeat for a kick drum, a rough dose of fisting illustrated by the combination of bassline with low-tom and an unrelenting snare that whips us raw into submission. somewhere in between the waves of punishment we can start to audibly pick up tortured moans of endurance and pleasure, but maybe its time we pull our minds from the gutter, wipe the sweat from our brow and flip the record for a reward. with side b’s veils of the beloved, mister ho & heap deliver us via speedboat to the white isle, coasting along to bouncy staccato bass notes and machine bleeps as a euphoric chord progression puts us in an 808 state of mind. the percussion arrangement and phasing string flourishes are introduced through a filter, opening slowly as if coming up for air from a beautiful blue abyss. these two songs are neither too salty nor too sweat
