welcome to enrique casals first solo ep on aula magna. through four bass-heavy cuts we are submerged into his spaced out dub-injected experimental techno world. each track unfolds itself through carefully designed beats and sounds programmed into four concrete ideas. dance-floor burner elenin is an energetic highlight from qiks latest live sets, and it kicks off a trek that concludes with the noise and glitch madness of arenos. in the middle, dekonst dives into the darker depths of the artists dub visions and cyclo combines stormy dub chords with a healthy dose of funkier breakbeats. more and more hidden layers of sound are discovered through each new listen. an unmissable experience.

we are pleased to welcome back the extremely talented need for mirrors duo back to the dispatch camp. here they strike completely on the money with the hard hitting funk-led *sling blade* and backing up the a side we have a heavy slice of bristol themed flavour for 2013 with *grapefruit*. both tracks present a clear nod to the old school and inspirational late 90s sounds we always loved (but never left!). need for mirrors prove again with this release that they are quite simply on a roll both as individual artists that make up the nfm duo and in their own individual right, definitely ones to watch for the rest of 2013 and beyond.

christoph el truentos debut album, what we used to know, is born of change and confusion, and sounds utterly incredible for it. the deeply talented 24-year-old new zealander started writing back in 2011 at the time his son was born. tired fatherhood, personal upheaval and artistic indecision would actually help show christoph a clear path towards completing the record – a transcendant sweep of synths, samples, organic instrumentation and window ledge field recording that gently reveals new layers of sonic texture and emotion to the listener.

on his third time out, the horseman has decided to take some time to himself and rethink all of the suffering that he has caused. after his never ending >midnight ride< he paused to take a break and fell deeply asleep. he awoke to the sounds of birds singing and the piercing sunlight in the early hours on the hilltop of >northfield lane<. he felt joyous for a split second. could this be the end of his misery?

ddsr005 comes from the new york city based newcomer edgar m. a house producer by trade, this is edgar ms debut release but it doesnt show, demonstrating an ear for sound aesthetics and dynamics that immediately caught the attention of deep down slam. his track >oscillate< is a little masterpiece, rich with musicality and vintage sounding production techniques that are reminiscent of early strictly rhythm. this ep sounds just like it came straight out of 1991 and was entirely produced on vintage hardware/analog based equipment. to complement this release we have zurich based house producer donato capozzi on the remix duties who delivers a great dub version of >that strut<. this is a release for the lovers and vintage sounding house diggers out there, ny touch guaranteed!

french producer kool vibes returns with a third offering on his own self titled label, continuing to mine that sound classically rooted in the early 90s east coast swing of new york and new jersey. vibes abound on > u got me< with the titular vocal hook leading a orchestra of bouncing percussive rhythms, spritely neon dipped keys and an infectious bassline thump, whilst > house music< shows kool vibe dipping into the sounds of vintage murk productions with equal aplomb

mr. afro bionic djinji brown brings us an eclectic palette of grooves and sounds that breathe deeply from the soul of music. djinjis corner cleverly reaches though his diverse influence creating an ep that is deep, primal and soul filled. his gift lies in the ability to take music to the edge, stretching beyond the limits of any one genre. as a tribute to his father, jazz artist marion brown, he used a song title taken from marions album titled afternoon of a georgia faun written in 1970 in honour of the birth of his son

one is formerly the front man of a notorious glaswegian punk band, the other a meticulously precise studio guru with creative flair way beyond the majority. as solo artists they are a formidable force, as a collective they are quite simply one of the most exciting new acts in the uk right now. refusing to rush, they spend countless hours trying ideas, searching for samples, tuning percussion and tweaking sounds. for every mia dora track that sees the light of day, there are 100 that dont. this isnt throwaway club music for the internet generation, it is soulful, thoughtful and emotive music by two producers fuelled by an intrinsic need to give life to the sounds in their heads.

major people is a new label from santiago salazar. the debut track *new beginnings* is more of a theme song for salazar as he introduces the major people label. modulating synthes can be heard throughout the track and the catchy bassline will warm any dance floor.
*technik* is a slice of sleek, contemplative techno that is far out on a late-night tip, leaving only a bouncing bassline and skipping tech-house beat to hold down the groove amongst the tune’s more ethereal sounds. on the remix, chicagos defend:r (ricardo mirandas alter-ego) takes apart the original to form a hybrid electro style remix laced with sub bass grooves and just the right amount of synths to take it to the next level.
this is the beginning of much more to come from major people.

the star eyed condition is chameleonic effort in the impossible to pin down trajectory of loden s career. the belgian-based producer and musician has already proven his facility for glassy disco and droning ambient on his 2005 debut valeen hope, and glitchy hip-hop via his work with sole and thirsty fish.
on his new album, koks goes even further beyond his already drawn boundaries. there is a touch of robo-electro to tracks like *optimist never cries* and *sanesserarian* (a play on the phrase *ça ne sert a rien* or *it is useless*). he brings the ghostly sounds of german electronic pop into the dirtiest of hip-hop beats. and on his collaboration with rhymer doseone, *future confetti*, he gets lost in a psychedelic wilderness worthy of dj danger mouse.

stuck in the 9-5 grind, stifled by the impersonality of constant social media and mobile interaction, contemporary urban life can be suffocating. for a certain breed, release cannot be found in the vast, unpopulated great outdoors. urban animals congregate in heaving warehouses, seeking solace in the liberating beats of the kick drum. they are bound not by association, but through a shared experience of primal relief felt in those shadowy, dance floor corners swelling with the sounds of low end frequencies and brazenly sculpted grooves. this is the urban animals jungle.

more techno-house hybrids from the australian based crew, sticking with the family oriented approach. baby, don t you sounds like something we ve grown to expect of freddie norwood, approachable and female friendly, with a hefty injection of muscle in the bottom end. lies rides out a peculiar and twisted groove up the climax, what happens after that is up to you. mic mills hits strong with the disco-not-disco moretti. mbm round things out with the bong song, suitable for dance floors and communions alike
