lando kal (a.k.a. antaeus roy), one half of bay area electro duo lazer sword, follows up maneuver, his 2011 debut for hotflush, with two cuts overflowing with the darkness of a long berlin winter. a major player in both san francisco and new yorks underground club scenes, landos love of r&b, dark jungle, detroit techno and classic house is front and center on these two bass heavy productions. the infectious rythym sektion comes on strong, lando expertly weaving the vocals of the 1991 rave classic hinted at in the title with threatening drums and kinetic percussion. on the flip, landos dynamism is on display, as inquisitions syncopated beats swagger along, insistent and knocking, drawing you into its multi-layered paranoid rhythms. lando kal has released on respected labels numbers, rush hour, sugarcane recordings, still cold, and has remixed the likes of sepalcure, hovatron, salva, sepalcure and doc daneeka. up ahead, lookout for a single dropping on leisure system, the notorious berghain party collective and label.

matador is a dublin based dj,live performer and producer who has been releasing his own twisted but organic take on techno for the last four years. late last year came the huge kingswing ep on minus and now this spooks ep sees him step-up once again for a 5 track outing which balances his usual melody with a real techno drive. the title track opens proceedings with predatory, roughshod bass tone running underneath blippy melodies, snappy house influenced percussion and a dark male vocal where kenekt is all out sci-fi weirdness.spiralling space ships, undulating basslines and plenty of well-defined percussion all add up to a snaking track that really works its way under your skin.on the flip,b1 bambam is the most heads down and streamlined techno offering of them all before klay is the ep closer which manages to bend and drip little melodic droplets down the face of slinky hi-hats and deep,rolling basslines.

an electro hacktivist since the 90s, french techno pionneer, inventor of what became electro clash with miss kittin, true italo disco lover, legitimate son of dopplereffekt and kraftwerk and godfather of the new french sensation gesaffelstein with whom he runs the label zone. when michel amato (his real name) contacted us with a few tracks we felt so honored. he really got back to his roots here with deep italo and electro, warm analog synths against cold robotic drum machines, great melodies. it would have been a hit on the now defunct cbs radio.

the next release on the shapeshifters nocturnal groove label sees b. slade team up production duo frankie knuckles and eric kupper (aka directors cut), creating a slice of euphoric, anthemic vocal house music guaranteed to light up 2012s dance floors.

the magic of classic house music has always lain in the way it finds a soul in the machine, eking warm organic sounds from cold circuitry. and tracks dont come much warmer or more organic than >oranges<, a glorious eight-minute slow-burner thats the second single from wolverhampton producer mark es 2011 release stone breaker. >oranges< is a track that demonstrates how the simplest of ingredients — a quietly insistent four-to-the-floor rhythm, an understated bassline, synth pads that sound like the first intimations of a balearic sunrise — can combine to create something remarkable. anyone who has got the cd/digital release of stone breaker, of course, will know this already — but this release is the first chance to own this track on vinyl, as it was absent from the albums lp release. on the flipside is a remix of >oranges< by mark e himself: the appropriately-named space dub, a lindstrøm-esque reworking that transports the track from the dance floor to some distant orbit, drifting through space on a wash of lambent fuzz-toned synths. as different as they are, both tracks share a sense of both space and intimacy, a mellow charm that is evocative and inclusive. a soul in the machine.

kaiserdisco are more often in the air than on the ground so we are lucky to gets this one from them in time! two brand new tracks out of the kaiser küche. >semiramis< has the bongos bouncing high and vocals racing in… this is a polyrhythmic and true irresistible: kaiser-tune! the kaisers once again take you by the hand and lead you to a land of tropic dance fever and continue their exploration of funky beat constructions that will put fire to every dance floor in town.
with >menon<, kaiserdisco go a different way … they combine disco claps and 60ies organ sound… writing one of these euphoria ballads that somehow keep their understatement while on the other side they keep on growing and growing… to an enormous size… we could swear this sounds like one of these classics you keep in your head all your life..., humming them to yourself... never knowing what they actually are. maybe you know?

first part of a trilogy, unforeseen alliances is a meeting of the french artist voiski aka kartei (dement3d, silicate records, wt records) and the duo deception plan, doryan javan based in paris and r. hernandez (historia and violencia, droid behaviour) based in los angeles. the techno in its purest expression … on the a side, voiski delivers a very strong deep techno track, perfect balance between mechanical drums and hypnotic melody : emotionally intense !! on the b side deception plan gives us two version of a heavy and warm techno track : raw and sophisticated.

for correspondant 06, we have invited another french producer who comes from paris and calls himself offset. after a series of jazz/funk projects, offset found his calling with electronic music. >gazoline< is the title track and its a straight dance floor burner that crawled under our skin on the first listen. >subversive< is proof that slow can be dark, groovy, powerful, and sexy all at the same time, and >addicted< has a taste of trance just the way we like it, not too much, but just enough.
