its toby tobias time folks! ahead of his brilliant lp which will be dropping here on dog in september we give you a little reminder of why he’s one of the heroes of the underground uk house scene. toby has been honing his skills as a producer, dj, promoter and all round nice guy for years now and we’re very happy to be offering up fresh new club business from the man himself in the form of the rising ep. never one to go for the obvious, he always puts his neck on the line and pushes his productions in an interesting and often unexpected direction, making full use of his fully analogue studio to get those ‘happy accidents’ into his tracks which gives him the edge over so many others on the scene today.

2 man synth funk band from leeds influenced by the 80s disco & boogie sounds from nyc. this ep is one for the synth funk freaks, with electro-funk jams, modern synth funk/disco, & sweet electro-bass melodies.

on the first release for mannella on his own imprint, the ice is broken by generous strings and subdued synths. revisiting “space candyman” with his distinctive stamp, marieu blows up every emotion in a swirl of high spirited techno. the b side displays all the intensity of this release, starting by the pure beat of the original mix. lucretio s remix is a mighty vision of “letters from mars” with a dogged bustle of reverberated drums and filtered chords. consider a tree for a moment: we just see and enjoy its beauty, but it must develop its roots under the ground to bloom all its beauty and grows up strong. in much the same way, jt series sinks his particular sound in a ground covered music grove. so, the fruits of our tree, are a collection of sounds thought out of the box. mannella, that runs this berlin based label, never stop explores the vast world ingrained in his machines. a sensorial techno contaminated by the most varied influences.

time for some double dutch action with apollonia’s latest release, which comes courtesy of makcim & levi. the twosome have already been picking up steam in their native holland, playing at many of the country’s best-known clubs over the last few years, establishing themselves as selectors in a class of their own. and their prowess as djs is equal to their talents as producers, with their very first ep appearing on raum musik and finding its way into apollonia’s sets. now they’ve got together once again to produce their second ep just for the apollonia guys…the ‘more lettuce’ ep fits perfectly into the french label’s sound ethic, emitting a dark groovy energy throughout. for starters we have ‘more lettuce’, a gritty tech-driven monster on a mission. with its gravely percussion and air-raid siren-esque effects this is a surefire dance floor killer… listen out for the switch of pace, class. this is followed by ‘tegel’, presumably named after the airport in berlin. with this we get a kind of dingy berlin vibe, morose, grey yet ingrained with a bouncing energy that you just can’t help but bop your head to. on the flip side ‘thaiman’ injects a slightly odd feel to the ep with warped, muted sounds meandering around a subtle bassline. finally, makcim & levi close up the ep with ‘dope erwt’ another roller that will enchant the dance floor from the start, building into a bright, airy breakdown before continuing in its somber yet groovy manner.

as the sun rises a little higher in the sky, above machine emerge from their winter hibernation with the first fruits of their impeccably assembled new release schedule. jonny nash takes on jose manuel s summer wind and, much like the superb melody as truth releases he s penned, sets out a widescreen canvas of tone and melody, as piano and vocal punctuate the sonic plain. twisted tongue take on maricopa s recently unveilied we could maybe feat. nicola kramer. and the result sounds like loose ends operating as in-house band at a speakeasy orbiting a distant nebula the b side has seconds another day beautifully reconfigured for sunrise moments by slo, while b2 has an original slo moment bombora which, much like it s namesake is a gentle balearic breaker washing over the sonic reef... bona fide bottled sunshine people - above machine are back !

the crew are at it again, having caused a mini storm with their debut 12- ep they are back with a rsd limited edition, first up we have this 80 s drenched balearic monster - just how you feel-, fat drums and baseline with plenty of synths, acoustic and electric guitar and haunting vocals. next the crew take us up the nile with this majestic track full of eastern flavour, fused with jazz and a relentless rhythm. finally we have this little gem of a track, fool in line, delightful in every way, with some mean marimba playing and catchy vocals, what a great jam. early dj support from kenneth bager 12 inch purple vinyl with splatters of white & black, in a manilla sleeve

played by martin haberland, james ornate, james what, agnostic rhythm, anna wall, lance desardi, kammerton
following the release of their debut lp, keep up appearances on their new label modelmaker, dan berkson and james what draft in frank & tony, dana ruh, dorisburg and alan doe for remixes. berkson & what have chalked up many releases on poker flat and crosstown rebels over the years whilst most recently turning heads outside of their own modelmaker imprint via singles for dogmatik and seth troxler s play it say it. the duo s lp, released in january, marked a new chapter in their production history and has seen support from josh wink, mr g and skream over the past few months. keep up appearances - remixes opens with anthony collins and francis harris superb frank & tony alias taking on seraphim which results in a tense but understated piece of layered, classic sounding house music while dana ruh, fresh from her excellent debut lp on underground quality last year, drops an eerie recreation of worship that draws on spacey synths and unsettling ambience. dorisburg, known for outstanding material on sweden s aniara amongst others, continues a sterling run of form with a rendition of feel free which employs soaring chords to fashion a luscious and elevating take on the original. rounding off the package is berlin producer alan doe, an artist who debuted on rue de plaisance in 2014. doe s worship remix is squarely dancefloor-aimed with punchy kicks, smokey effects and teasing keys

runddans ist ein 39-minütiges werk von abstruser schönheit und brillianz, das für die doppel-lp auf 45 rpm in seine bestandteile zerlegt wird.die sensation ist zweifellos die teilnahme des classic-rock-veteranen todd rundgren, singer/songwriter, progrocker und produzent in den glorreichen 1970ern, der sich nie scheute, mit musikern jüngerer generationen zusammenzuarbeiten, sei es tame impala, daft punk, nine inch nails oder sogar tyler, the creator. seine beiden mitstreiter sind der norwegische musiker emil nikolaisen, mitglied der psychrock-band serena-maneesh (4ad), sowie (hans-peter) lindstrom, neben prins thomas und todd terje der profilierteste vertreter des typischen cosmic/space-disco-sounds made in norway.

phase insane is proud to present el carton, the first collaboration between the madrilenians gale talk andunkle fon. this massive work will not leave anybody indifferent, as it is really unusual having music as original as the one they bring us. gale talk and unkle fon bring us two huge dark techno tracks produced over really deep melodic and groovy elements. these songs generate a massive effect in the dance floor as they are based in very hypnotic sounds which make listeners get into the groove from the very first moment. if this looks great, it becomes better when you listen the fantastic remix of el carton produced by the brooklyn based duo loud neighbor.
support early supported by richie hawting, maceo plex, joseph capriaty, paco osuna, anderson noise, cicuendez, franco bianco and many more.

electronic emergencies is proud to introduce ceci n est pas, a synth wave project from new york consisting of nico nightingale, pierre klein and jorge socarras. nico nightingale is the man behind neud photo and earlier worked with pierre klein as neud. jorge socarras was singer with synth maestro patrick cowley in the 70s duo catholic, and with 80s cult band indoor life. together, they started ceci n est pas in 2014, and this 7 inch -the last time- is their first release. the title track on the a-side is an irrestisibly melancholic and romantic synth wave pop song, while b-side -the stranger- has a mysterious and yearning feel.

the second release on ftd is also the second release of lisbon based production trio niagara. although they havent released a record since *ouro oeste* dropped on príncipe back in 2013, their signature sound has travelled through many different guises. ftd002 charts such experimentations during this time, from the fall-over drunk guitars on *falcão*, to the wedding bells and released hounds on *mustor*.

frankey & sandrino, hailing from germany delivered one of the most outstanding 12inches in 2014. their track lost featuring london based singer jinadu was one of the most played tracks during the closing of amsterdams legendary trouw. it was championed by many established djs such as Âme & dixon...
this release is the remix package of their debut on drumpoet including a stunning version of lost by zürich based washerman, a detroit tingled masterpiece which is hard to resist, as well as the futuristic jacking remix for starchild by berlin s musk and the hypnotic african inspired version by hyenah, which was highlighted by dixon during the last couple of months.

the first vinyl cut from japanese dub duo mantis s 2nd album collapsizm released cd format from black smoker records only in japan, summer 2014. 2 tracks of the super powerful stereophonic dub sound with legendary paul st. hilaire a.k.a tikiman of rhythm & sound . these 2 tracks are different edition from the cd release and remastered and cut by stefan betke a.k.a pole of scape mastering.

nearly two years ago we released mys/kela by a newish stockholm-based producer who had put out a couple tracks on a couple labels studio barnhus and local talk owned by friends from around town. that produce s name was hnny and a lot has happened since then, both to him and to us. hes gone on to crank out more l.t. 12inches as well as some hes dropped on his yummy and puss imprints, weve gone on to unleash a couple dozen more records and see the list of talent we ve hosted at our parties grow to astounding length. somehow, through it all, we managed to stay close with hnny, whos real name is johan cederberg, and even book him for a couple nyc gigs. the friendship that began so humbly and gently in 2013 has blossomed.

secretsundaze 017 comes from london based producer endian. releasing just 2 eps in a few years on nonplus and electric minds, endian has nevertheless managed to to turn the heads of the likes of steffi who used one of his tracks for her panorama bar compilation and boddika who also licensed a track for a various artists ep. sounding like a producer far more experienced than the two releases would indicate, it came as no surprise that this is far from the the output of a novice but the seasoned veteran george levings aka commix (metalheadz).

greetings, earthlings: we come from the land of endless summers and spontaneous jam sessions to deliver get physical number 300. its brought to you by the trio from copenhagen known as whomadewho, a genre-bending group of buddies who are no strangers to critically-acclaimed albums: from their first-ever eponymous album back in 2005, to 2012s chart-topping brighter lp, all the way to last years dreams lp, which was in fact, touted by many as one of the best things to come from the indie-dance sector of music in some time.

illusion limited is the limited press sister label to illusion recordings. the label will shine light on new artists and sounds not currently represented on illusion. the first release kicks off with the highly talented manchester based artist seelie who delivers two slices of subtle, classy deep house. this ep has been a while in the making and shows a real development in seelie s sound from classic house to deep textured and hypnotic house. blm provides a huge remix on the a side stripping things back and letting the analogue bline and minimaistic drums create a heady, yet dancefloor track. dilated pupils provide a unqiue broken beat remix of the hypnotic desire on the b-side to round things off and kick off this label in style.

2014 was a definitely a huge year for dance music, with many up and coming artists being thrown into the lifestyle of hectic partying and relentless touring schedules. this also means that those who exploded onto the scene prior are no longer the new kids on the block. a few years is a long time in the life of a dj, and the first few years are often the maddest. the adana twins are a perfect example of one of these artists, having emerged onto the scene in 2012 with releases such as everyday and strange , from the off it was clear that they had everybody s undivided attention. (pulse radio) with dj names like take it easy and friso, it s probably to be presumed that german duo adana twins don t take themselves too seriously. that tongue in cheek attitude could be heard on their first productions and remixes. it s now almost almost three years later and the twins music vision is constantly developing

rothmans are back with release 9 of their ever growing vinyl only, retro football themed label and this time paying homage to the silky smoth italian maestro paolo rossi we have berlin based israli outfit naduve. the debut release from this naduve & friends finds rothmans bringing another new dimension to their already beautifully diverse rosta with another unique record.

london s dext recordings continue to strengthen their catalogue adding to originals and remixes from dubspeeka & visionz, komon & appleblim and bodyjack with their latest offering from the manchester based oli furness backed up by clone mainstay alden tyrell. this, the third release up on dext carries the same raw brawn as its predecessors and is a rattling meld of jungle, uk techno and house.

for the next release on souvenir, the label dips into the past of almost 30 years ago to retrieve this forgotten souvenir of the times, dusting off and rejuvenating section 25s classic, desert, taken from the album, from the hip on manchesters infamous factory records.

supported by dixon, craig richards, sasha, ame, efdemin, the mole, midland, peter kruder, tiga, tensnake, xxxy, leon vynehall, auntie flo, hackman, skream, hunee, bbc radio 1, bbc 6 music, mixmag, dj mag, tsugi, beats in space, rinse fm, nts, vice, xlr8r, test pressing and many more. this is the first of the construct ltd eps. these releases will follow a slightly different path from the main label. we dont really want to give away too much on the ltd eps if we can help it, letting the music speak for itself where possible.

nice price deal !!! hailing from spain, eduardo de la calle has been a prolific dj and house and techno producer since the early nineties who s productions have recently been featuring heavily in boddikas dj sets. with over 100 vinyl releases under his belt on labels including semantica, cadenza and his own imprints (analog solutions, suprwax, edits records) plus many more, eduardo is an underground legend staying true to his analogue production techniques and never following the pack.

loveland are one of the longest running quality event promoters of the netherlands. as music has always been their reason to live it made sense to launch a record label after 20 years in the business. most artists on this release have a special bond with loveland built up over many years of performing at their events and in some cases from the very start of their carreer. the vinyl showcases 7 exclusive tracks on two 12?discs. from the bright and melodic sounds of egbert, vince watson, arjuna schiks and dosem to the repetitive hypnotizing grooves of mathew jonson, anthony rother and aril brikha this release covers a wide scope of quality music.

home invasion is the new label from real tone man franck roger, a man whose career has scaled the full depths of house music over the past decade or so. evidently seeking a new challenge, the parisian s new imprint promises to adhere to a vehemently underground way of working, with every ep released upfront on vinyl-only terms and produced exclusively on analogue equipment.

jaumet is back, but not alone: he asked 3 artists to revise music from his latest album la visite. on the a-side, we have a brand new band from düsseldorf, called die wilde jagd. we know those boys from their previous band der räuber und der prinz, released on desolat, which is a favorite from everyone at versatile. they deliver a surprising mix of la visite, in pure kraut fashion. neu is not that far... on the flip-side, the frenchman low jack turns la visite into a dub marshland, multilayered as is typical for low jack s music. and finally, gilb r delivers his own ambient version of one of the highlights of jaumet s album, midnight man, a tribute to i:cube who used to come to the studio at night.

stay underground it pays returns! relatively unknown newcomer modula brings us a slab of ruff n ready analog cuts, with a real standout remix from fuckthegovernment! said remix of controllo by f.t.g is so good that it is the opener of the whole record. it’s a remix built for late night experiences, one for the warehouse, with it’s wailing, ravey vocal samples and subterranean rolling acid bassline. the a side is rounded off by modulas tape mix of controllo. doing what it says on the tin, the graininess and saturation that tape production brings is instantly noticeable. while the tape mix is not as sinister as f.t.gs remix, nor as spatially dense, its greater emphasis on synth work is bound to make it a favourite for many suit fans.the b side takes on more of techno form than the a side. kicking off with intrigo (tape edits), the pad sounds give it an ethereal atmosphere, contrasting the almost militant feel of the percussion and bassline. immerso (instrumental mix) is probably the highest energy pick of the bunch, lots of bleepy synth work and crispy power claps might make this track the djs pick of the record. all in all, a top record from modula! dont sleep on it!

hailing from berlin, but spiritually from chi-town, snuff crew are back in your area with some freshly served up basement goodies once again. following on from basement jams #1, from all the way back in 2011, the boys bring us tracks with the same playful nature as before but, dare i say it, they go even harder this time. stalwart fans of the first release can stop reading now because it will almost certainly be a blind-buy for you, four tracks obviously engineered for use in the club, whether its the massive kick in ‘what it is’ or the ravey acid lead in ‘88cents’. the jams on the b-side may do the most damage. ‘remember’ holds absolutely nothing back, with its arpeggiated bassline lead and crisper than crisp 909 drum programming. analog is a term that gets bandied about all the time nowadays, ever since so many young producers became enamoured with tape compression and hiss delay plug-ins. i know snuff crew are real analog guys though, in sound and mentality, so hearing basement jams #2 for the first time had me so excited once again.

invisible inc launches with this 4-track sampler 12”/ep from four artists that we plan to be releasing music by over the coming year – secret circuit, higamos hogamos, tim love lee and the poncho brothers. packed with modular synthesizer funk, psychedelic wonk, kraut-rock infused space opera and downtempo analogue “balearica”, the 12” is due to be in shops in early may. already getting praise from soft rocks (esp institute, endless flight), house of traps (firecracker, unthank, sacred summits), dj kaos (rong music, dfa, jolly jams, astrolab), josé manuel (eskimo, kinfolk, disques sinthomme), bobby beige (pork, garden zadar), chuggy (emotional response/especial) and gavin hardkiss (hardkiss, siesta, sunburn

one modest man known as das komplex has been steadily producing music for almost a decade now in his quiet hometown of koszalin in western pomerania region of poland. it could have stayed like this if not for maciek sienkiewicz (veteran dj and promoter, one of the pioneers of polish electronic music scene), who picked some tunes for his new label fasrat. as the artist himself prefers to stay out of the spotlight, let the music speak for itself: from sun-drenched, guitar-driven like a fish (remixes coming from some key players in modern disco/balearic scene), through futuristic disco of -narkoleptyczni troche- and hazy deepness of nowadays, towards epic, over 13 minutes long, jazzy, dreamy, but no less energetic -siren-. elegant, original, infectious grooves for club play and home listening alike. limited edition with cover art by acclaimed contemporary painter aleksandra waliszewska

part ii features contributions from cassegrain & tin man, inland, dvs1 and steve bicknell

statside influenced techno from our man mental resonance....

tar hallow is a new label based in rotterdam, nl devoted in electronic music. first release on the label is from super unknown, producer dimitris damaskos (damcase) from thessaloniki, gr and currently based in rotterdam, nl. the ep comes with four tracks of distorted techno in a no control journey where there is no need for so many med and high frequencies.

for some it might be kraftwerk, but for me, my favourite electronic pioneers are probably australias severed heads. they were so far ahead of the game that they had to invent a lot of the technology they used. inspired, playful, never boring and always sonically brilliant they pushed at the frontiers of electronic music more than most. by the late 80s they were pursuing a slightly more polished course and made a series of records that had the potential to reach a much larger audience. possibly because of their name they never quite managed that, but they had several big club hits, the dub versions of which crossed over into the nascent house scene. i am honoured that i am able to make the dubs of those three 12 inches from 1988 - 1990 available again.

now living in warsaw, donnell knox was well known, along with black nation s jay denham for forging a tough, distinct kalamazoo techno sound in the 90s. his label, sonic mind, put out some very coveted, underground wax that still sounds unique, extra rugged, and fresh. well d-knox is now on a bit of a comeback mission it seems, with some really inspiring new material, and “africa calling”. the first version, created to donnell’s much loved “spirit man” alias, is a soulful trek through layers of pads and emotive synth work. the simple, but uplifting, vocal snippet really gives it an organic and spiritual feel, the tempo is driving and quick, but the overall vibe is laid back and deep. remixes come from the likes of brooklyn based titonton duvante, who maximizes a synth pattern to a form a beautiful, reaching, version, while canada’a rennie foster channels his futago traxx style to present a full on tribal, drum based mix with added vocal pieces. also, detroit transplant, now living in canada as well, j garrett goes in with a very emotional, warm, string laden take. the ep is capped off with another version from donnell that could stand as it’s own track really, a totally different, but equally as strong, version featuring a driving baseline and detroit style string vamps. a really nice release, worthy of your support, from a well loved veteran of the techno underground.

title track is a beautiful and epic journey in techno soul quite rare to hear these days, reminding a bit of early nineties detroit/uk techno and even some of the early speedy j works, all with nowadays production skills. stunning contemporary techno the classic way. then from heaven to hell with 60606, an evil distorted acidic drum track guaranteed to damage kids brains worldwide. but no time to think long anyway cause theres we only have, an autistic out-of the-box jack track providing a sneaky tool for the more adventurous dj. this will separate the gurners from the dancers. top-notch showcase by the unstoppable man-machine that is marco bernardi!

anders enges interest in modular synthesizers comes from a desire to shut down conscious decisions about form and to focus on rhythm and timbre. this does however not land in traditional techno but rather in a riff-oriented style, the riff being both rhythm and melody and also a morphing entity in the music. drums and percussion attempt to follow this entity, while maintaining a link to the dance music pulse. the resulting style makes for a hybrid timewarped experience of travelling a parallell electronic music reality, a brooding technoid that grooves

002 of the analoq musik vinyl only imprint comes from up and coming producer jerome.c with two flawless remixes from stuart hawkins and max j & coockies to complete the ep. first supported by fuse head honcho enzo siragusa @ tini & the gang - these dance floor filling tracks have gone on to be supported across the globe by some of the industries biggest names. effortless grooves, intricate percussion, housey synths and catchy vocals - these tracks are simple master pieces set to take many more dance floors this spring/summer by storm

not content with a rich and flawless back catalogue of releases under a plethora of monikers such as dabrye, jtc and charles manier spanning multiple genres on a wide variety of labels such as ghostly international, rephlex amongst many others, and a career spanning 15 years, 2014 seemed like the right time to make plans to create an imprint with the aim of releasing the the rich flood of music that flows forth from tadd mullinix’s ann arbor studio. those plans have come to fruition and the first release this year is a 3 track 12” from jtc.

after four years of parties and many years of clubbing and djing, yay has decided to make its own philosophy to offer music can be something tangible and lasting in time to come. for this reason yay is proud to announce the opening of their own label, only on vinyl, where groove after groove will try to make sure that all the passion and culture of this small, but at the same time, great way of underground electronic music, it can be achieved with an object that will never die. the first release leave 3 tracks from the young artist riccardo of imprints records. energetic music for all the different dance floors. enjoy it!

after the last lessizmore release found san proper and maayan nidam crossing swords for the simmering, jammed-out tones of it was a night like this, now the label turns to another close ally for a slice of discerning, upfront house music. louis mcguire lives many different lives in music, from drumming with indie pop outfit ballet school to playing bass for lo-fi electronica group the waves & us. now though his own solo productions are being noticed in the house and techno world, with this new ep following on from a well-received debut on supply records. the diversity of mcguire’s musical leanings feeds into his distinctive sound, as his own take on stripped down, sensual house music bristles with unconventional energy to make for an unforgettable experience that steps up to the most creative frontiers of dance music. live drum sounds rattle around the mix free from quantized safety, while the melodic tones come on warm and fuzzy, capturing the hazy romance of a late morning session as much as the early part of the evening. it’s apparent that mcguire’s weapon of choice is the mpc, channeling his love of gritty beats in the grand tradition of point g and j. dilla. you can hear the spirit of the most adventurous micro house pioneers in the quirky funk of light hearted, while Óreitha revels in the transcendental qualities of a sustained groove without even a whisper of monotony. even with these unusual qualities the music is resolutely built for the dancefloor, and that mcguire manages to be so creative and so focused in the same beat is reason enough to keep tabs on this multifarious and unpredictable operator.

rounding off the vinyl series that accompanies themas label-defining strength in numbers compilation, part 4 downsizes from 12 inch to 7 inch to present two distinctive jams that show some of the farthest reaches of the new york imprints sound. laurine frost may be best known as part of the nonconformist house and techno scene of europe through releases on perspectiv, sharingtones and nervmusic, but on this special creation for thema he makes the perfect tribute to the city that gave rise to the label, with a little help from the racy diatribe of amiri baraka on “your house”. by way of a truly special finale for the series, minneapolis maverick dj slip graces the label with an all-too rare appearance, taking an altogether more primal approach on “x7” that channels his years spent conjuring up next level techno for missile, music man and more into a taut and punchy electro excursion infected with tricked out effects and seductive sci-fi noir atmospherics. it’s the perfect example of the freaky fringes thema has comfortably reached to over the course of the last forty releases.

klik records is proud to welcome a new addition to its roster, 9west. the 9west project made its first steps back in 1998 in thessaloniki, greece, by two music lovers above all, tikis and george. they both love the deeper side of things with many jazz and soul elements, maintaining a raw and kicking sound. their free of crippling nostalgia music wins you over with consistency, tension, and dynamics as well as a sensibility, one would usually expect from house music. 9west pursues an unexacting fusion of quantum jumps and tradition - including effortless melodies and hook lines.

2016 repress - outplay s third vinyl release will be from young mancunian artist loz goddard. with releases on large music and editorial he has been making a great impression with his combination of disco and beatdown house. a well balanced blend between samples and synth work makes this a varied ep and a great showcase for loz s sound. outplay s own fouk takes care of the remix, turning the lush it will come to me into a solid dance floor track with added bass line groove

the riveting new full-length from terranova, featuring a smooth blend of instrumental and vocal house. der mitreißende neue langspieler von terranova, mit einer lässigen mische von instrumental- und vocal- housetracks für tanzflure, wohnzimmer und weltraumkapseln • mit gastauftritten von stereo mcs, mandel turner, cath coffey, bon homme & lydmoor • 2xlp+cd edition auf 180gr vinyl

the second record of athens based equivalence records comes from the labels co-owner and overall man of the hour, kreon. following in the steps of the first release, which has already been played by ricardo villalobos in fabric, 002 features two stripped down stompers, emanating analog warmth and hiss, while holding the groove and mystery throughout. groovy, low key, sub dub - perfect for those low ceiling places in the late early hours. early support by the usual suspects.

33-10-3402, also known as serbian-born artist/producer nenad markovic, returns to the esp institute for the third release in his opium den and whorehouse inspired mecanica series. slow port is a cacophonous track, skillfully composed of an erratic barrage of percussive klinks and klanks as you might find in an automotive factory pistons, gears, quips, cranks, but despite its industrial instrumentation, nenad manages to extract a beautifully seductive quality from this beast. on side b we re faced with the slightly more musical plutonium certainly, an exercise in distortion which is punctuated by repetitive androgynous chanting, and finally we culminate and release simultaneously with elika, an overtly ethereal blur somewhere between hope and melancholy. to fully appreciate nenads crafted subtlety, we recommend repeated listening.
