next up on titanic city, needs no introduction, nigel rogers aka perseus traxx has been a staple part on most record bags, a man dedicated to performance outside the box, has produced one of the greatest releases we will surely drop all year. some kind comments in our direction had to surly be returned with a request for a release and did he deliver. nigels first question was *what do you like* - *well we love your m>o>s, bunker, photic fields, snuff trax material*, he returned with a little bit of all. i am not gonna give the whole soaring pads, scraping percussive smears or the frenzied synth lines. this is perseus traxx he always delivers!! there is a rough and raw diy feel to this music that makes it jump out of the speakers and arrest your attention, as is always the case with titanic city.

the rawest, diy gospel ever resurrected. the west side of chicago was just an annex of the deep rural south for gene autry cash and his flock of recent old dominion transplants looking to cut their fiery, unadorned sounds indelibly to plastic. his jade label absorbed those god-fearing artists: family bands with wailing kids and barely amateur groups sourced from local parishes, infused with reverberations of country and western and deep soul. glinting authenticity shines from every track like a diamond in the unpolished rough—each group completely convinced that salvation comes through song.

there is almost a year that ortella released his first ep on rutilance recordings. the previous release -ruti005- was adored by the label s followers. that s why the french label now offers a logical continuation of the series -mad in lyon-. same atomic recipe. enjoy!

joe goddard just had to knock on that door. the wall of his recording studio had been pulsating with original analogue house jams for too long, dry ice practically sifting through the vents. behind that door was gentleman george t, and before long the two heads were nodding to obscure dat edits and 4th hand soul samples as george plundered a wealth of forgotten late 90s dats from of a box in the corner. true story. and now those dat edits, lovingly un-restored, are available for the first time on greco-roman, the record label, party and artist collective of whom hot chip s joe goddard is a founding member.

this year is the 2nd year of polen and right now we are presenting the fifth record. louis is a drummer, a bassist, a musician and a dancer and this is his ep for polen. it was a lot of recreating and a lot of shifting to get the end result, but it was worth waiting for. music for dancefloor, for mornings and afternoons, for dancing feet and chosen ears. the art work is made by anne-sophie kneer.

this second release on dialegestai is our homage to romanian minimal house and techno music. one track by a household name, the other by the equally talented - but still very unknown - vlad radu. in our humble opinion both tracks have a certain unique quality and vibe to them. the question minimal and trippy, the answer haunting and mysterious :) we hope you enjoy them as much as we do!

final chapter was started in 2013 by stockholm s sean dixon, along with support from perseus traxx. a label which is happy to let the music do the talking, final chapter is now on it s fifth release, and shows no sign of being prepared to letting the book close. the journey of detroit and chicago influenced house and techno continues on this release as label head sean dixon presents an ep split between himself and boston s john barera, who s previous releases outside of his own label, supply records, have issues fourth on soul clap and dolly, as well as steffis panorama bar mix cd on ostgut ton. remix duties come courtesy of berlin based producer, palms trax, who s first outing was in 2013 on lobster theramin.

russias art crime seemingly came out of nowhere with his first record and it blew us all away at phonica. lead track release was pure nineties house nostalgia, a huge reverbed piano over skipping drums that became an instant shop classic. we just couldnt get it out of our heads!

some facts about duncan gray... he is a multi-instrumentalist tune smith... he has a label called tici taci... he was, along with our kid, one half of the criminally under-rated machine funk duo the sons of slough who produced an album of elastic electro (milk, milk, lemonade) and invented electro-bingo (two fat ladies... aux 88). he has recorded a cover version of robert calverts (ex-hawkwind) *lord of the hornets*... he has played space guitar on a number of my remixes (we like to call his sound pink wray). he has given me 4 tracks of low-slung sleazey loveliness to release on bird scarer...

brainchild of two passionate and likeminded artists, a sacred geometry was born as a platform to illustrate techno as a narrative, forgoing the strictly dancefloor nature of the medium. influences from noise, ambient and new wave coupled with their graphic identity play a crucial role in how the music is perceived, as the journey continues with each new cover art.

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
