untolds pennyroyal imprint drops its fourth release in august, a four track ep from techno heavyweights ben sims and paul macs fokus group project entitled fokus group ep. started by the hemlock recordings man earlier in 2013, pennyroyal has so far released ballsy, uncompromising modern techno by j tijn and boner m and that musical remit continues with sims and macs hardcore fuelled, selftitled assault. nut nut, mucky crack funk, 93.2 and rave x3 = murder and the titles and they pretty much speak for themselves – there is a reckless abandon across all four cuts that musically gives off a distinct old school feel feel without getting bogged down in self conscious retro aesthetics.

ambivalent & michael l penman debut on ovum with *shimmer*. having found a very fruitful collaborative friendship, michael l penman and ambivalent (aka kevin mchugh) have begun exploring the intersection of their approaches to music-making. they originally connected when kevin discovered michaels music in 2010. after playing many of his productions in his dj sets and including them in a mix-cd (_ground) release for minus, kevin made contact and the pair began exchanging files and swapping ideas. this led to time in the studio together and yet more file exchanges. quickly a natural creative balance emerged as they found that their production techniques were complementary as is their shared love of groove, bass and musicality. for their ovum debut the duo have delivered a trio of tracks that have those three elements at their core. title track shimmer brings together raw jackin funk with a warm driving bassline and scything techy stabs whilst chevalier matches its fun bouncy groove with an infectious and spritely melody. final track memogram comes heavy with the oldskool, delivering a bed of beats and samples beneath the very heaviest of acid-kicks. not for the feint of heart!

tyree coopers all you need is house ep is a proud celebration of the genre, done chicago style and rammed home by marco’s wailing vocals. through solid drums and strong vocal hooks, coopers original beats down hard justifying the need for a 180g pressing. it rattles and hums until dropping into a tom-drum and snare solo similar to runaways *brooklyn club jam*. bobby starrs mix brings marcos teddy pendergrass-sung vocals to the fore, while milty evans gets a little techier with a cut up approach, adding white noise flashes and lots of filterwerk. cooper second take comes via a classic dub which draws a link between squelchy baile funk and a masters at work drum track.

jk soul had a new vision for his new album take me higher. he wanted to show the world his wide range of production skills and his capability of moving through the different styles of electronic music with class. not a lover of sticking to any stylistic niche to mark his territory. electronic music was always his playground so now house, dubstep, drum & bass, together with touches of reggae and soul are equal parts in his new creations all of which are there to enrich his unique and famous hip hop based beats and soul influenced trip hop trademarks. lala pumpkins voice moves the listener far away, across the european borders and in the west side of the atlantic, sounding so fresh and full of emotion but at the same time strong and certain of the capabilities that carries like a funk diva.

chasing kurt, das sind pascal blanché, wojtek kutschke und lukas poloczek: zwei langjährige deep-house-fans und ein einzelgängerischer funk n soul-typ, den sie unterwegs aufgabelten. alles begann in einer schicksalhaften nacht in gießen, wo die jungs zu hause sind. wie die meisten zufälligen rendezvous unserer zeit geschah es in einer bar: dj legt bis tief in die nacht auf und barkeeper mixt, was das zeug hält. als für beide das ende ihrer schicht naht, wagt barkeeper ein paar gesangseinlagen. das fällt dj auf. er lädt barkeeper zu einer jam-session ein, im bescheidenen studio eines dritten. barkeeper ist hocherfreut. house ist eigentlich nicht so sein ding, aber er tritt seit jahren auf und jammt, und so sagt er sofort zu. das ergebnis ist daydream , eine sanfte und doch satte, glutvolle kleine ballade – die dabei so gut ist, dass für ihre veröffentlichung ein brandneues label gegründet wird. es folgten verschiedene weitere releases, die den fokus auf chasing kurt lenkten. so ist der track money von maya jane coles für ihre dj-kicks-mix-compilation ausgewählt worden. innerhalb kürzester zeit hat das trio mit riesenschritten sein ganz eigenes dance-podest erklommen. from the inside , das debütalbum von chasing kurt, begeistert mit schleppenden beats und verschleierten dancefloor-rhythmen, wunderbar gepaart mit verführerischen legenden von verlorenen lieben und gewonnenen schlachten. eine runde, sorglos dance-platte und ein alles umhüllendes hörerlebnis.

federico leocatas latest experiment on abstract forms is stunning. drawing inspiration from the experimental style and themes of recurrence in nietzsches thus spoke zarathustra (1883-1885), leocatas ep is hypnotic and seductive. the ep harks to the work of the legendary gerald donald in guises such as heinrich mueller, der zyklus and japanese telecom - awesome and unmistakably futuristic sounds with natural funk and a sense of wonder and enlightenment.

mr. munk is back! having released nothing since 2 years - now he comes back with misterio: an ousider house bomb that sounds like the perfect follow-up to his last albums hit la musica. misterio starts like a normal house tune. based on fat house drums and a catchy bassline. but after the intro it turns into crazy new wave funk. new york early 80ies style. fucked up guitars and a guy shouting in brazilian, spanish and english languages.

state is the debut from ore, this is techno deftly delivered. four original tracks showcasing an artist ready to make their mark plus remixes from darling farah and jon convex. a debut that stands out - state showcases an artist ready to make their mark. prime-time berghain techno functions are triangulated with detroit in 1987, birmingham in 1997 and london right now. the result is sumptuously textured asymmetric dance music. richly harmonic, expressionist techno that takes in pneumatic hi-tech funk, warehouse-maddening propulsive hydraulic and rarefied low frequency dub chords. complete with laboratory-precise edits, cold, crystalline sampling and skeletal machine effects ore recalls richie hawtins plastikman all the while keeping a rooted afro-rhythmic swing reminiscent of theo parrish with shuffling hi-hats, deep bass and strokes of barely-tamed percussion.
