downbeat styled ep by moisture

chris weeks has been building up the kingbastard catalogue for a long time now, generally taking a self-reliant approach in the underground electronica scene where cd-r releases reign supreme. hes been a key figure on ambidextrous since the label launched back in 2008, and now he s committed to wax with a range of crunched up leftfield sonics for the machine-loving crowd. anxiety is a melodic cut with a house-minded structure, but theres a lot of production acrobatics and compositional swerves taking place within this framework. scatterbrain is more overtly out there, tapping up the kind of heavily processed sounds that producers like paradroid have championed in the past. data loss strike a heavy blow somewhere between dubstep and electro, and data ctrl ups the tempo for a rabble-rousing exercise in mind-bending machine music

panorama bar regular bwana unites his dual loves of vintage 90s electro and classic progressive trance on this three track ep for duskys 17 steps label. achieving widespread critical acclaim with last years techno homage to the akira soundtrack - capsules pride - on luckyme, bwana has since released eps on his club ready home aus and fort romeaus cin cin, as well as appearing on 17 steps with a cult remix of duskys ingrid is a hybri - itself something of a panorama bar favourite. on this ep, the illustrious producer presents three contrasting but cohesive tracks in the dark acidic three way is the hard way, hypnotic dark trance builder hell is other robots and classic electro homage on patrol for their control. completing the package, the inimitable avalon emerson bends three way is the hard way’ into a glitchy, percussive groover that builds crunchy layers of dark drums around the original’s twisted sonics.

beautiful, warm and grooving house tracks on barba records, a new sub label from zagrebs finest crew(the burek posse). they start with ld neros anticyclone ep. (a new alias for wellknown producer according the label) and this is also what can be expected on barba... deep musicality, varied output and subtle inventiveness.

dem sanften doesen folgen sphaerische ambient-landschaften, deephouse- rhythmen und dubbige chords von tracks wie das federleicht in den sommer abhebende lete. spaetestens ab dancing in the noonday sun kann auch mal gemuetlich getanzt werden. der typisch- groovende dub-techno a la leonhard geht runter wie tequila sunrise vorm café del mar.
