instalment three in the minor notes recordings journey sees baltimore chop provide four cuts of hard hitting house. moving is straight out of the gate with an acid laced, pumping jam resonating those vocal cries right around your mind, before deep in your soul cruises in with a bustling, low slung, deep house jaunt, sweeping synths behind a hypnotic vocal refrain. on the flip, again & again is a summery, synth laden, garage house groover with the closing track, a remix of deep in your soul, rounding off the ep in style switching the low slung dynamic to a bassy, club ready bomb.

second proper studio album originally released in 1976 by the king of turkish psych/anatolian rock. recorded in belgium with help from session musicians related to placebo, janko nilovic and mad unity among others, nick the chopper features lyrics in english, huge orchestral sections, and re-arrangements of many of the melodies from his masterpiece 2023. bar&#305,&#351, spent his whole life trying to communicate to the wider world outside turkey. this was his last attempt at doing so with an album before turning to a travel television show to visit faraway places and talk to the young and old, one on one. every production trick of the glorious 1970s was deployed to push bar&#305,&#351, up the european charts, and now they can push him right into your brain instead.

kuf create emotion-laden dialogues across layers of time and dimensions of sound. voices recorded in private are chopped up and brought out center-stage to sing with beats hammered out right here and now. glowing synths push forward. basslines rise to grab the melodic role of a track while a vowel is truncated and locked into a grid, driving the rhythm. voices move within the frame of a sample, performed by hands pushing keys, guided by the ear, immersed in a trio sessions deep flow… a vortex of quirky hands, responsive ears and glowing circuits. since thomas a. edison first recorded the human voice in 1877, the recording arts have changed music forever. musicians have explored the endless possibilities of bouncing their input onto layers of tape, off the walls of an echo chamber or the circuitry of electronic helpers - technology that modulates, spatializes, shifts, divides or multiplies the work of human hands and mouths. an era of sampling offered a cubistic analysis of the recorded past and djs took dancers onto intricately fractured time travels. this is the historic foundation that kuf keep probing.

we’re seeing red! promnite’s absolutely mental snake charmer ep gets the physical edition it deserves. this ain’t no soundcloud special — snake charmer is a four-track dive into life itself, showcasing the collaborative songwriting chops, elevated sound design and alwaysfunky approach that makes promnite one of the most exciting young producers in the game. this cali-via-nyc producer (and co-founder of la’s beloved athletixx dj collective) eschews run-of-the mill bangers for the bittersweet turn up of “gunsmoke,” featuring denzel curry, nell, j.k. the reaper and twelve’len, and short-story worthy clubland tales on “ride around” with adam vida. meanwhile, prom’ssmooth stepper “call me” with mark johns nuzzles up against the space-age trunk rattle of “cruise’n usa,” featuring ladonnis. promnite is bringing the love back to club music. for all their futuristic thump and sonic precision, the tracks on his snake charmer ep are wonderfully, messily human.

green village is a label operating out of jersey city that deals in all manner of sounds from rugged house to scuffed up techno, but with a distinct bent towards broken rhythms and plenty of bass. this various artists 12- plies a diverse trade, with all tracks bound together by their ruffness. theft & toyc bring some loud and lurid bass synths to their snaking slice of oddball club music -atlantic-, while bd1982 places focus on dense layers of choppy drums and needlepoint acid arpeggios. eighth ruin delivers a truly head turning beat with the appropriately named -whip-, and then etch pays tribute to a classic movie with the excellent breakbeat science of -predator-.

waxtefacts comes in front again with a lushy ep straight from the gate keeper - librarian! a mixture of fine, subtile house tunes as well as some good old mpc swing tracks are ready to be served as part of his first ep.

tenax recording is proud to present the second installment of the anniversary ep series signed by two of the most representative artists of the underground scene both coming from italy: nightdrivers and bassa clan. the first duo (mass prod and rufus) under the nightdrivers moniker deliver two outstanding tracks in order to survive that will drive the floor crazy thanks to its hypnotic and percussive groove & strong and deep vocal. the second track scudiscio beat is a loopy groove with a whistling synth line that evolves from the beginning to the end. the second artists to feature are bassa clan (dino angioletti and fabrizio maurizi) they have released on their own imprint bassa clan, howl, rebirth amoungst others & will appear on tenax with time in a bottle and endless three. time in a bottle is a perfect mix between house and techno while endless three is a magical trip with an infinite change of rhythm based on a chopped up synth line from the beginning to the end. a record ready to be dropped at the peak of any set.dj support: nastia, honey dijon, marco faraone, joris voorn and nic fanciulli…
