return of the cocoon-proof techno don! some phat business from jaceks underwater lab - yet another exercise in his very own concept of combining minimal groove with maximal sound spectrum. and it works: solid mid-tempo rhythm carries what seems to be a thousand of layers of sound. meaty, bouncing bass stabs intertwine with washes of synthetic melodies, while percussion drops and unidentified samples swirl around in this bio-robotic monster of a tune. >green river< takes jaceks minimal obsession into cold outer space, where you can hear the planets spin and the only hope seems to be coming from a dying communication device... cold, stark and haunting, this is either work of a madman or truly the future now

slutbox (billy dalessandro & daniel mnookin) >nitrogen 2 oxygen 1< ep (jason emsley & brian ffar remixes) billy dalessandros, daniel mnookin & brian ffars beloved siteholder returns with one of the best releases in the labels history. the sound is infectious, minimal minded and addictive, spreading through the world like an epidemic this only proves their chapter on techno is yet to be written. the title track is intricate, layered and warm, some might say it makes reference to sleeparchive with its metallic drums and deep analog vibrations. the massive sub bass is something you must experience on a raging dancefloor at 5am, this will jack you straight into the afternoon. dark haunting vocals (very on par with the m_nus crew) clicks & cuts percussion and decaying melodies. flip this one over for massive analog richness with this huge jason emsley mix which i get the feeling he took a lot of influence from dan bell back in the day as this sounds like revisiting the 7th city again, stunning. the brian ffar & huge hephner mix is filled with ever evolving basslines and residual synth pulses on top of bass sophistication thatll beg for deviant behavior at any hour. perfection if i may say so myself, do not miss

detroit s new >soundshift< imprint makes a stunning debut with this intoxicating two-tracker. opening up is the soultek remix of billy dalessandro s smashing >don t sleep< release (which was found in the many sets of dan bell, ame, annie mac & pete tong last month) this mix is nothing short of brilliant and will certainly capture the hearts and sets of all those mathew jonson or loco dice fans out there. it has a subtlety that really creeps up on you and before you know it you re tapping your feet and zoning out listening to the intricacies of the music. truly minimal, there are loads of space within the track which is somewhat similar to the original but still a world apart, particularly in the fantastically eerie synth programming. in the forefront of the song is the shimmering and haunting vocal loop, >don t sleep< which has an almost hypnotic effect. (think richie hawtin in closer) the melody of the title is a delicate affair which sips cocktails in the company of some nicely chosen whirring and echoing noises. the build is effected so subtly it verges on melancholy but halfway through a rumbling bassline, appregiated melody and backbeat hi-hat pattern announce a funkier escalation!!

the line in between will be released as three vinyl singles and a cd album. the second single includes two tracks from the album, >lost< and >panamuno <,with two brilliant remixes by zentex and 3 channels. the original version of >lost<is all about minimal hi-tech funk with a jackin flavour, while zentex s (kickboxer)soulseek remix drives on ghostly melodies and a haunting soundscape. the flipside tune panamuno is filled with warm synths, beautiful strings and a hypnotic melody,yet again by the frozen north grand wizard himself.3 channels remix thrives on controversy and begins where the original version ends. a real gem for the likes of progressive approach! martin landsky,loco dice..
