for our third release, we welcome back the collaborative efforts of our three family members mia dora, hahaha & raksha. joining forces once again, they depart from the awkward rhythms and stuttered arrangements of their first joint outing and instead offer up a slab of relentless, dance floor shattering techno.

our second release is the first solo ep from mia dora, >romanticise<. released on limited vinyl, this 4 track ep brings to life the mia dora sound, so carefully cultivated and realised over the last 12 months. drawing on a range of influences, they bring together the warm, subtle tones of garage, the deep impact of driving house, tinges of acid synths and the awkward hip hop inflected rhythms they are starting to make their own. each track leaves something to be discovered with each listen, refusing to stand still and switching up as they go. romanticise shows off the intricate and subtle approach mia dora take to club music, all the while making sure we cant help but dance. artwork comes courtesy of grampian mountains and swedish artist andy king.

haptic ep is the first release from glasgow and new zealand based duo modifier. the downbeat, glacial pop record sits comfortably between the likes of apparat and boards of canada and is the first in a series of releases for high sheen.

high sheens third release of the year comes from sheffield based newcomer pegasus, who has recorded some classic garage sounds while retaining a unique style for 2013. the package comes complete with a stripped back warehouse techno remix from innershades and a deep house reworking from high sheen family lovers rights.

doubleheart, the collaborative project of two of scotlands longest serving creative individuals in electronic music - jd twitch (optimo espacio) and neil landstrumm. taking its name from title song *roots* - a sub heavy, tension building track that re-imagines jamaican dub poet michael smiths original from the seminal 1982 album ‘mi cyaan believe it - the ep as a whole works as an analogue exploration into the rawer side of dance music. working together allows these veteran producers to fuse their individual styles and musical sensibilities, combining landstrumms raw aesthetic and mastery of hardware manipulation with twitchs unrivalled knowledge of what makes a dancefloor tick. spawning from the depths of their imaginations and machines are 4 club-ready tracks brimming with anticipation and menace. although taking its inspiration from 80s electro and 90s acid & rave, the final result is far from a throwback to a halcyon, bygone era. instead, they have managed to carve out a distinctive sound the bleeps and bangs its way firmly into 2013.
