robert tylutki paints a dusky scenario on the first release from different planet records.

part ii - operated under extreme psychosis, performed live in the dead of night at the studio of the hague s pirate radio tonka , these two records contain an apocalyptic selection of the very darkest moments of its maker, an anglo-french bruxellois driftwood expat washed ashore on the west holland wasteland just to get even more lost in its empty shadow chessboard grid of luscious ghost town smoke screen structures built on nothing but loose sand, to get even more entangled in its reef-like vortex of the fleetwood parkland dune estates artifice of ugly evergreen high-tech verdure of rose and thorn , oh, yes, its many, many flowers sans mercee , red and white carnation, asphodel, or fleur de lys and fleur du mal , all awaiting, lurking gentle softness of the flesh, perfumed for luring prey, yet strikingly hard-wired through the courtly appearance and the troubling foliage of the count s many hidden pleasures, his many secret palace garden hedges, his royal seal concealed behind, oh, yes, its many, many spines, all hiding midst the ticket, like cloak and dagger, that poisoned slip of tongue, or poisoned tip of blade, and all s so easy to slip away and disappear into the vine and creeper, to make one trip and fall in smear of mud or was it blood?

with the summer season well and truly in full step, mosaic returns with two finely tuned cuts of classic dubbed-out minimalism. a side in the night is a typically understated affair from label boss steve o sullivan under his wise caucasian alias. propelled by a bass-heavy tone and lit by layers of percussion that build on each other you ll find yourself getting lost in the washes of sparse vocals, rhythmic stabs and splashes of delay that reach out over the dance floor. far from providing instant gratification, this requires timely and repeated play to uncover the layers of subtle finesse and craftsmanship: perfect for keeping those feet moving at any hour of the night, or day for that matter. on the b side, steve teams up once again with fellow londoner, frazer campbell on rise which goes straight for the full smile effect as the duo conjure up one of those rare pieces of magic. set to a melee of skippy percussion, high-pitched toms and warmly toned melody, the prophetic voice of maya angelou and her timeless poem still i rise resonates supreme, bringing a touch of thoughtful intelligence thats all too often forgotten. as the track hits it peak, you cant help but feel the deep elation a groove like this brings in the darkest of hours.

setaoc mass fourth record for figure displays a level of maturity an artist this young rarely inhabits. two tracks feature his ability to craft finely layered idm, showing another perspective of the ideas behind the cavernous techno taking up the rest of this ep. nestled between the electronica-pieces is torque, heavy yet undeniably beautiful with its big breaks towards ascension, moving effortlessly despite its weight. things turn serious on the flip side, bursting with bleeps and bulging beats. b1 is a slowly swelling beast with many heads, twisting and turning ceaselessly along its 6-minute runtime, never once letting the tension decline. spiraling inwards for a full-on mind trip, search lights is that key track to drop in the murkiest, darkest hour of the night, one that cuts through relentlessly and unites whatever is left of the dancefloor for one last frenzied commotion.

long term friends and artistic collaborators detroit’s filthiest (aka dj nasty) and go nuclear bring their next two electro releases to bass agenda simultaneously. detroit’s filthiest assaults hard with four ferocious dance floor destroyers, showing off both his lifelong passion for electro and his ability to approach production differently from the majority - blending twisted detroit rave hooks with a dose of infectious machine funk. new zealand’s go nuclear return after their very well received techno world debut on bass agenda recordings. this record, their machine learning ep, stays faithful to their love of the old school electro sounds of detroit with 3 tracks of dance floor futuristic funk. the two artists meet here too, with detroit’s filthiest remixing the title track in his usual no-nonsense style.

das zweite special request-album von paul woolford knüpft mit 23 tracks und einem multiversum an jungle & rave-sounds, die bis in die frühen 1990er zurückreichen, nahtlos an sein vielgelobtes debütwerk suol music aus 2013 an. und dennoch kennzeichnen überwältigende, atmosphärische klangebenen, offen-modulare systeme und die einführung intensiver soundtrack-fragmente eine konsequente und spannende weiterentwicklung des künstlers auf.

it was the 23rd century, mankindÆs darkest hour. the war had been raging for almost a hundred years. we had been fighting for so long, no one could even remember the reason why it all started in the first place. for decades millions died for the same piece of rock. again and again and again. the hope was to start over, free from the prejudices that had divided us for so long. that was 800 years ago. when we came here to rebuild our lives. weÆve come a long way since then, we have grown, we have prospered, we have flourished, but we will never forget.

berlin based arttu has been dropping his dusty fat beats across numerous techno labels including philpot, clone and 4lux for a few years but it was 2016’s track ‘hoodies’ on arttu’s own imprint cyblo that caught the attention of accidental label boss matthew herbert (and which remains firmly in herbert’s record bag). arttu was invited onto the accidental jnr roster and has delivered a chunk of techno with so much swing it made donkey kong blush. arttu takes the most simple of jazz bass hooks and loops across a rigid kick, it’s when those hats kick in that the groove goes fucking wild. the presence of us native roberto q ingram on vocals brings a full detroit gangster flavour to the party. initially arttu and roberto had an idea to record a simple and sweaty track with roberto on the mic and arttu at the control of some dusty old machines. the result, ‘bass trakk’ is exactly that: roberto dropping lyrics over a raw beat and a massive bassline. the ep is rounded off with a deep bit of techno ‘debris’ with all the trappings of the darkest hour of a berlin winter in which it was recorded.

imagine being dropped into a spiralling warehouse of acid and sub-base pressure with only four tracks to lead you into the light. the he-men compress three hours into a key change driver, stabbing and bubbling as you reach the surface gulping for air, bathing in the strings, dripping in acid-wash. before you know it you’ve been whisked away to the halcyon days of yore, creeping around castle corridors. leeds native djpc then kidnaps your soul for a spin in acid mundae (24 master) bombarding you with high hats, rolling baseline and old school pads and synths that take you to the dark underbelly of house music and beyond the black rainbow. the shadow of dawl’s electro powered hand then commands you with telepath, breaks and bleeps morse code that compel you to dance. the menacing sample, “i know what you’re thinking,” crawls around your skull until it finally shakes you loose from his imperious grip. dawl isn’t finished yet. his apache spirit breaks loose in freestylin’, a controlled dash of a tune that scratches all over your body, hauling you to his hip hop roots before dumping you, used and abused back on the dance floor waiting for an uber to teleport you to the darkest after party you can find

no needs to introduce allen saei better know as aubrey, the uk legend, for his second record on the imprint. this time for this eternal worlds ep popcorn records gather only exclusives tracks from the past for a trip into uk techno

invisible inc s second release comes courtesy of synthesizer krautrock maestros higamos hogamos. this ep s influences are clear: early john carpenter in his darkest, seediest hour, amon duul ii in heavy pagan-trance mode, the psychedelic sounds of garage rock all topped off with a heavy dose of jacking synthesizer funk.

lux rec enters its fifth year of existence. a time of adventures in electronic sounds, exploring the margins and the darkest corners. to celebrate all victories and failures cosmo & faber compiled this release, the number 23, collecting material from old acquaintances and musicians that are new to the label.

the utopia project, yet another one of many pseudonyms for legendary producer rheji burrell of burrell brothers fame. all 4 of the files contained within this ep bear the classic hallmarks and sounds of the burrell brothers signature style, taut drum programming, deep, melodic synth washes, bass-lines from the darkest recesses of nycs streets and dance-floors and an instantly recognizable atmosphere. like much of the brothers output these tracks are designed to be heard either very, very late at night or in the early hours of the morning and are some of the defining sounds of new yorks underground night-clubs in the formative parts of the 1990s. a true underground house record, over 20+ years old and still sounding as fresh and current as ever, file 1 is now available again for 2015, re-mastered and re-pressed with the permission of and in conjunction with the burrell brothers / nu-groove records, new york city.

after the amazing critical acclaim for his debut album drone logic, daniel avery lines up a select series of remix 12inches on phantasy from some of his favourite artists. danny daze takes naive response deeper into the realms of smart, late night techno with a remix that has been huge for avery and label boss erol alkan all summer. on the flip, londons perc turns reception into an industrial techno behemoth, tailor made for the darkest of hours in berghain

>supergravity<, a simultaneously gritty while ambient track of the highest order, recalls not only drexciya and the detroit underground in its prime, but the ambient techno hey day of artists like the black dog and the inimitable lfo. >atlas detection<, with its subsonic rumble and pins-and-needles like synths is music for the dancefloor at the ripest darkest hour. harnessing noise in the most seductive of ways, it is undeniable in its extraterrestrial appeal. >andolit swaras< displays the minds of minimalist composers, with its striking approach of having its melody lead the narrative it tells- as opposed to dancefloor traditions of rhythmic domination. it is intelligent and dream-like, sublime and filled with reverie, as random as the dreams that ones psyche presents. lastly, they give us a real bite into a slice of phuture hip hop. working with sensational, legendary mc for the jungle brothers, they twist hip hop into an acidic downtempo track that hits hard to say the least. its a dubsteppers dream on some level, but with a crafty psychedlic component that mesmerizes.

timeless techno 4-tracker by arne weinberg.

with the sun out and festival season just around the corner, the 2 bears return with their biggest crowd pleasers yet on the bear hug ep out on southern fried. equipped for both barmy afternoons in blissed-out fields and after hours naughtiness in the darkest dance tents, the 2 bears set the seal on their trademark brand of house revisionism. opening up with take a look around, 2 bears take us from techy intro to full on house inclusivity inside seven minutes, with rafs understated vocals joined by star-to-be alice gold. then there is the bashy jump-up instrumental in my brain is like a computer, to set us up for an mc’d walk through of the 2 bears dancefloor doctrine, bear hug. as for the ep closer banger, the title speaks for itself – a tune that cuts deeper and harder than any 2 bears track so far

erell ranson crafts melancholic techno and is laying down warm chords and deep harmonics on this five track ep on the elektrosouls imprint. label bosses collaboration newtownsoul bring us remix of the title track reshaped for the dance floor.

sustaining a standard of quality underground music, rippertons perspectiv has again picked fresh talent for their next release. canadians jonny white and james teej joined forces in the studio to share their passion for a stripped back sound of intense house tracks. at just over eleven minutes, narco balada casts a deadly spell of inertia that transports the listener to the endless depths of club. pure club tracks that reveal their beauty and power on a sweaty dancefloor in the darkest hours of the night.

ceephaxs drive time k7 was released as a bonus cassette with his first album, and is a cult classic. half an hour of music per side, ranging from banging vocal acid to the deepest and darkest side of ambient, with everything in between. the 27 tracks are a perfect description of andy jenkinson s original music universe, his roots. it took about quite a while to transfer it onto acetate, it was one of the most challenging vinyl cut that anyone can imagine. the making of this record is kind of similar to homer s iliad. the stamper was then stored for several years, safe from the dangers of heat and daylight. just like for the nicest bottles of wine. firtcask records just took this jewel out of the cellar...
