ltd to 200 copies! tonkind is coming up with a release of head and founder edgar peng, who worked here rather more on a tool, as you could find it back in the 90ies classified as detroit sound. now >lahars< and >surges< suppose to be a paraphrase of this origin sound. discomposure, harshness and yet a sweet tingling tension is running throughout the tracks. repetitive grooves with a touch of polyrhythmic and bumpy rough surfaces are creating an atmosphere of infinity. once you have closed the eyes and the rhythm is riding your skin, you might feel a certain vibe, followed by a vision of bellevilles backyards.

this is the sound of the future four. led by andy meecham, the brains behind the emperor machine, bizarre inc and chicken lips amongst many others, and captures the excitement, diversity, strangeness and harmony of the uk underground sound of the early 90s. we are talking about the sparse dub mix on side 2 of the 12 inch single, machines making mistakes and changing the course of history, the dark side of the rave away from the neon and the white gloves, future four points the way to the dimly lit corner of the dancefloor and makes you move. after a recent discovery of boxes of old s950 and mpc60 floppy discs full of sound sets dating back to the early 90s, all three tracks have been produced solely on the mpc 3000 in staffordshire, and in perfect unison of north and south, mixed by erol alkan in london.

demdike stare return to the lab with two extended new productions, inaugurating a series of untamed releases brought together under the testpressing banner. collision was recorded in late 2012 and is pretty much unlike anything you will have heard from demdike before, an intense high-frequency re-arrangement of jungle and noise, like a more brutal variant of the demdike-affiliated hate project, fed through a bank of analogue boxes and pedals, left to spin uncontrollably for 10 minutes before fading to black. misappropriation on the flip feeds off a different noise altogether, perched precariously between the mangled percussion you would most commonly associate with muslimgauze and the metallic clank of industry, a proper sunstroke riddim: angry and unforgiving.

the guys from audision are back with their next release in coloured vinyl! they produced chimes 1 for their live-set and it was much appreciated by the crowd. their new syntie roland jd 800 sounded crystal clear in their studio, but when they practiced for their live set in frankurt last year, all of a sudden it played a different sound … this was a magic moment which had to be recorded at once. the typcial audision device is: let the machines do the talking. and that is the also the story of chimes 2 *away* was the beatless track from their last years release up & away. so no one else but gez varley aka g-man created a dancefloor monster out of it. where can we start, when we talk about such a genius like gez varley. he was co-founder of the legendary lfo (warp records) duo. he wrote music history with his partner mark bell. under his solo project g-man, he released on labels like wir, i220, force inc or swim. *quo vadis* is still one of the most important all-time favourite techno tracks. last but not least a typical rough and deep house mix came out of christopher raus machines. the smallville member released on labels like, pampa, derive, aim, mule… and delivered a great track for this wonderful release. all in all - a must have!

in a world in which upstart diy talent is flooding the gates of electronic music, a few recent voices have been so strong as to be startling. lapalux – aka 25-year-old stuart howard – is certainly one such. as singular as a brilliant artist always should be, his instinctive understanding of the atmospheric power of texture grips the ear immediately on listening. nostalchic is his debut album, mission statement, and the climax of many years of studying his craft. the amalgam of words that make the title is aptly, and perhaps knowingly chosen. the album evokes nostalgia without ever sounding nostalgic, and howard may have had his tongue in his chic when he added the second half of the title. the album is his most focused document to date, adding his beloved r&b and soul into elements of house and hip hop, all with the trademark lapalux finish, infectious, lopsided swing and achingly deep texture.
