physician by day, musician by night, moonlighter makes his production debut after steadily holding down rocksteady disco labelmate duties. �give us rain (ah mila)� begins the 12� beautifully, blending ethereal african samples with moonlighter�s own melodic and percussive performance. �kinematic� kicks off the flip on a more cosmic and tech­y tip, with bubbly synth stabs and drums. �a certain average kind of normal experience� closes out this opus with a massive peak hour bassline, emotive synthesis, and a vocal sample from everybody�s favorite uk philosopher. the moonlighter ep is a culmination of his diverse production and digging ethos by blending the percussive with the melodic, the peak hour with the subdued, and the head with the heart.

much may have changed over a two-decade period, but drumcode s commitment to releasing the scene s most cutting-edge and refined techno remains resolute. with releases last year from heavy hitters such as adam beyer, alan fitzpatrick, luigi madonna, jel ford, dubspeeka and mark reeve, the label continues on in 2016 in much the same way, bringing fail-safe, club-ready music to the techno community.

whether you find any truth in that or not, one thing is for sure, the new single by the printer-galactic troopers of mungol is one hell of a ride through the sonic wonders of discofied art involving one dudes rather merciless meeting with the (un)godly. it only happens occasionally, but it does happen. you have probably heard rumors, or read about it somewhere. maybe it even happened to you? with >moon jocks n prog rocks<, mungolian jetset have put it - literally - on the record: abductions by beatmongering disco aliens with prog-rock fetishes are on the rise, sometimes with hilariously fatal consequences, such as this tale of one unfortunate individuals meeting with the more funky forces of the cosmos.

bunkr enslave dust-coated synthesizers, dilapidated drum machines and rusty fx boxes to craft 4/4 tunes for their impatient overlords. their vision is clear they will make techno, they will make house, they will make electronica, and you will listen and dance. its not yet clear if bunkr is the work of one frenzied human or many lazy individuals but we do know one thing - the ringleader is one james dean, who previously released as lost idol on labels such as pork recordings, nature, final frontier and cookshop. following a prolonged spell of writing music at slow tempos, dean initiated bunkr as a reactionary desire to speed things up. too much time had been spent just sitting around - it was time to stop sitting and start dancing. true to their vision, here we have cloud chaser, a bubbling jam backed with a huge remix from shan, who flips the mix with dramatic strings, sprinkles of magic dust and massive amen breaks. no less impressive is junos revenge, a track youd turn up on your headphones while taking a nice afternoon stroll on the moon, on a sunny morning after a long interplanetary rave. igor tipura delivers the rework, complete with a marching percussion workout and acid chemtrails that will send you right back to 1993.

a summer on the rocks is truly a summer of love. from the light blue sea of indonesia comes jakarta-based jonathan kusuma to redefine the label standards on love on the rocks. highly celebrated for his releases on im a cliché earlier this year, kusuma continues his streak with yet another double a side. buzzing oceancool pads bump into a catchy piano roll on steins way, which is the perfect openair main stage filler on a sunday afternoon. on the flip comes the game changing underpass to celebrate the gathering of a horde of down-tripped mushroom infected goblins in java. the moon looks bigger from the other side.
