somewhere between par grindviks debut album >isle of real< and his more recent output with dax j and nihad tule lands his new solo ep, >mnemosyne<. first track >o maru< launches the three-track release with a hi-tempo, swirling vortex of kicks and claps. >dawn< opens side b with syncopated flams and twisted harmonics, while >70sheets< sees ethereal chords swell dramatically under a hypnotic groove.

the quality of stockholm ltds 2016 output has been hard to top, with acclaimed full length >isle of real< from label boss pär grindvik in may, followed by a split ep from grindvik and sloboda label head nihad tule in september. and the stockholm born, berlinbased imprint is right back with another lethal va, >a number of thoughts<. their 39th release combines contributions from dutchmen doka, sinfol and octual plus belgian newcomer phara, as well as grindvik himself.

following the mindblowing truesoul release by par grindvik comes this new 2 tracker by swedish artists nihad tule and lasseman and does not disappoint. in typical truesoul fashion there is a melodic influence with the a side - locomotion having a very clever building, driving groove that utilises some clever synth work and pitch bending pads to great effect. dj plays from - richie hawtin, paco osuna, adam beyer, perc, dubfire, christian smith, charles siegling, agaric, joel mull…

third instalment of the unknown entity series, this ep delivers four tracks of science fiction and horror soundtrack inspired techno. the a side is dominated by two floor ready cuts, lurching thumper feart and a devastatingly broken remix by serbian producer scalameriya. side b trips into leftfield territory with sleep deprived creeper peripheral visions. the serbian connection continues with lag delivering an offkilter franticly driving reworking of the original.

the advanced human - >air< ep is the latest deep offering from gynoid audio. rich with dub chords, atmosphere and reflection it is truly a celebration of living.....and breathing. the original offers up rolling dub keys surrounded by intricate percussion and a drive aimed at the dance floor. the ground loop remix finds itself rich with space and atmosphere while still lending from the dub influence of the original. markus suckut brings to the table a hypnotic dub influenced version to die for, all pushed a long nicely by a fat, low slung bassline and held in tension by the comings and goings of timely atmospherics. the raiz boys, as expected, move things back in a peak time direction by stepping up the rolling dub chords and putting the funk in the percussion. air. breathe. enjoy.

compared by adam beyer, truesoul is the ying to the yang of the techno tastemakers better-known drumcode label. equally well respected, equally forward thinking, both labels are at the forefront of modern electronic music. operating on a broad remit and refusing to be restricted by genre boundaries, truesoul offers an oasis for the great and good of techno where they can experiment with elements of other electronic styles. having previously hosted the experimental works of cari lekebusch, joel mull, nihad tule, par grindvik, speedy j and dustin zahn, adam beyer himself takes up the mantel for this latest excursion with two cuts constructed from a broader electronic palette

compared by adam beyer, truesoul is the ying to the yang of the techno tastemakers better known drumcode label. equally well respected, equally forward thinking, both labels are very much at the forefront of what is going on in electronic music. operating on a broad remit and refusing to be restricted by genre boundaries, truesoul offers an oasis for the great and good of techno where they can experiment with elements of electronica, downtempo, house and minimal. having hosted the work of cari lekebusch, joel mull, nihad tule, par grindvik, speedy j and beyer himself, the mantel is now passed to dustin zahn. best known for his ever reliable enemy records imprint, zahn is one of the most in-demand producer / djs on the techno circuit with his releases for the likes of drumcode, droid and audio assault staple choices for many
