following his stunning everything is nothing ep, which kicked off the hubble telescope series for solar one music in 2015, luxus varta (aka emeric di paolo) is back with a new four track ep for french label, intramuros. ‘rosenhan experiment’ (named after david rosenhan’s famous study to determine the validity of psychiatric diagnosis, published in 1973 under the title “on being sane in insane places”) takes us on another electro trip into the human mind with paris the black fu from detroit grand pubahs once again making an appearance, on the track ‘losquato’. the ep opens with the wonderfully shimmering ‘wenn’ before luxus varta makes striking use of his background as a drummer on ‘lizzy’. ‘losquato’ is a playful addition with stripped back rhythms under paris’ story telling that bemoans a man’s work frustrations and resulting mental state (“i gave up therapy about a month ago. my therapist jumped out of a window”), while closer ‘tempsun’ is almost melancholy in its measured minimalism. recommended for lovers of drexciya and dopplereffekt.

third release of soul.on records and first vinyl release of elysée with remix from hubble. deep and melodic sounds of techno, minimal and experimental. 180 gram, vinyl only release, limited copies, it is the third part of seven souls collection.

during a time when its more fashionable then ever to sample kenny dixon, >alright< uses a small and respectable vocal splice that references ferguson himself, marvin belton, & ferrispark records. heavy bass and beats eventually mutate into a smooth late-night house jam. side b laced with chatter, cheers, and claps resonates a >block party< feeling accompanied by chords, strings, sub-bass, and disco loops. enjoy! party people

both xtrah & basher has been causing a stir throughout 2011 with their various releases on the legendary ram records. they join forces for their debut release on subtitles. >hubble< and >reflections< have both gaining heavy dj support from the likes of andy c, friction, hype, goldie, calyx & teebee to name a few.

a great track from joe & ubit (aka hugo), remixed by two of the founders of the label (phooka & maurizio cascella) and great guest artist, hubble. the original track is a pure concentrate of techno and filtered tools. voices, percussion and bleeps all mixed with a relentless and powerful bassline. phooka rmx is a swell of synth and bass, which offers a glimpse into the psyche of the listener, a drive of techno beats & a powerful dancefloor-orientated track. hubble gives us a masterpiece, a mental and dark version, in line with his other works and his unique and personal style! maurizio cascella closes the rmx and transform the original track with a heavy groove and loops the song, making it a unique and potent dj tool, a must-have for all djs.

darren cunninghams eagerly awaited new album is an adventurous, ultramodern, thoroughly british affair. determinedly off the map and resistant to pigeonholing, cunningham is an enigmatic and playful figure, citing francis bacon and monet as inspirations alongside theo parrish, anthony shake shakir, daft punk, binary codes and numeral systems, and the avengers. the south londoners acclaimed debut lived up to its name: a series of dreamlike sketches and ideas. for splazsh the fog has lifted, the sounds are less submerged than before, but still sticky and close a signature combination of exuberance and introversion, luminescence and puzzlement. actress has quickly and justly become one of the most respected names in the uks new dance music underground.

by now we know the exaltics stand for high quality advanced deep space electro techno after their great trilogy on clone records and most recently their great retrospective album -the truth 2008 - 2013-on their own solar one music. as a follow up on that album they invited an impressive line up of remixers to work on some of their album tracks! e.r.p. , gosub, dopplereffekt, objekt, and ultradyne: these heavyweights and legendary artists have written some of the most important pages of the electro / techno history. a dream come true for the exaltics and a heavy weight and highly desirable collection of electro techno on solar one music! highly recommended!

the untold stories: protagonist series. records dedicated to the stories of some venerable but unsung historical figures. the first of the protagonist series was created by sil, and gives a glimpse into the spirit of the first such figure: tadeush konrad. sil, the pseudonym of kirill sylantev, who is more widely known for his work in the duo easy changes, now begins solo productions. for the untldpro series his work dedicated to tadeush konrad is of confident vibe, with much swing and rich with soulful flashes from times past. this work is then remixed by ztrl and hubble. first comes the ztrl remix, with energetic bass and a wealth of tones interrelating to great hypnotic effect. then on the b-side hubble s remix, an extended work, a floating journey of warm organic sounds, concludes the story and the spirit of tadeush konrad.
