for alan oldham, artistic expression is a way of life, taking multiple forms and medi-ums throughout his lifetime. before he was ever known as dj t-1000, he was a published car-toon artist and radio dj in detroit writing press releases for underground resistance to get by. one day, underground resistance was in need of a last minute dj for their tour in aus-tralia, and a door flew open for alan oldham. with passport in hand he departed on his jour-ney as a dj, which little did he know would eventually span continents. influenced by every-thing around him, his work has dynamically changed and evolved along with his life. currently as an international dj living in berlin, his latest creation is the acidspace ep, released by elypsia records under the detroitrocketscience name. the traveler himself takes us on an intergalactic adventure, beginning with acidspace (8:48). with a steady beat and a unique blend of serene space sounds, this jam excites the imagination for the journey to come. it is followed by rocket to berlin (7:20), a subtle and intricate mix that entices one to enter the unknown. vesta system (6:22) finishes the ep off on a note that leaves lis-teners grooving and enjoying the ride. creativity and sweet sounds are what its all about for alan oldham. with his recent musical shift to mellower, sci-fi inspired jams, he continues to let listeners see for themselves.

the palette here on “the question” is an illustrative sound collage that leaves its listener adrift through unexplored musical territories. nocturnal atmospheres dimly lit by minimal, detuned melodies are complimented by sensual, synthetic whispers from a parallel dimension. this collection of songs serves as a manifesto to panoram’s mysteriously hypnotic, oftentimes doom-ridden allure.

london s weekend circuit imprint returns with a 5 track ep from label owner michael wells entitled three marks of existence. the ep marks michael s debut on the label and is a signifier of his future direction as a producer - meditative, tense, unfolding electronics and monochrome ambient environments inform this release. the deepest of deep space is contained within ep opener antecedent , an almost menacing, enveloping track that engulfs us during it s 5 minutes or so of existence. verge follows and is driven by speaker puncturing taut, tribal drum programming and swirling satellite sounds, creeping further into the nexus. subtly heavy indeed. ‘three marks of existence mines an altogether different vein, an epic, widescreen vision of downtempo electro that is damaged, on the fritz, but containing enough melodic beauty to retain hope. souls in the machines. weekend circuit acolytes yyyy return to the scene of the crime with a monolithic remix of verge that opens the second side of this ep, showcasing their unique style and interpretation of the original mix, and following on from their previous split ep with stanislav tolkachev and their own ep ‘intention of mortal’. ‘ilmatar leaves us out and leads you into the cold night, the final transmission from the ‘three marks of existence signal. fierce drums punctuate the night sky and barren landscapes while somewhere deep inside, memories are remembered. equal parts thought provoking and anxious, the perfect end point for what will undoubtedly be a formative benchmark in the weekend circuit canon.

monosoul is back on tieffrequent with 4 timeless and classical cuts focussed on the important elements of housemusic...with love for the dancefloors, clubs and basements of this universe... on the a-side you have „make em match“, a rough and steady house-groove containing a constantly bouncing bassline, a deep chord-pattern, a complex percussion-cluster and a well infixed electric piano...all elements are perfectly balanced, finalized and formed to a completed floorfiller. then there is „monument street“ after which the ep was named. starting really deep and minimalistic it developes to an impulsive und powerful song. organic pads, pulsating deep chords, a rhythmic bassline and well arranged drums make „monument street“ flowing impressively from start to finish. the b-side starts up with „hot concrete“, a blazing, drum-driven basement-groover. with a sharp deepchord which is wrapped-up in several padsound-patterns, monosoul creates a very own athmosphere. in combination with an impulsive bassline and a distinct percussion- ensemble „hot concrete“ beats time on the floor noticeably. finally „life on the red island“ as the perfect final track brings the „monument street ep“ to an end. it builds up by adding small bits and pieces very subtly to a point you recognize a pulsative deephouse beauty. the remarkable bassline and the concise and bouncing kickdrum are casted in a flowing deep sounded carpet full of hope. „life on the red island“ disappears to where it came from and leaves you with strong impressions. the „monument street ep“ gives an insight into monosoul s impressive understanding and definition of house music which you can hear on 4 tracks loud and clear...thank you!

ursprünglich 2007 erschienen, konzentriert sich das von gareth jones produzierte werk auf hymnischen synthie-pop, der in der produktion zeitweise mit modernem techno flirtet. durch andy bells stimme, die gefühlvollen soul nicht scheut, bleiben die songs aber durch die bank pop im besten sinne des begriffes.

nice price deal !!! meteorythm recordings is back with a new file, mf002 geometry of the mind ep by imprint’s co-founder, clearvision. to start, the a side about uncertainty (and unity)’ leaves you doubtful, in a disoriented feeling of expectation. perfect to start your set or a personal journey inward, this ambient track allows you to create your own thinking pattern about what will follow. the a2 ‘geometry of the mind,’ an atmospheric and melancholic track, conveys clearvision’s thought processes by playing with floating pads on deep bass frequencies. on the b side, ‘wave function’ is the logical continuation of the two last tracks, concentrating on rhythm in order to be more focused on the body than the mind. to conclude, the berlin based duet arcarsenal followed suit, evolving ‘wave function to another level of groove by adding a beautiful percussions harmony to a perfectly rearranged production. after developing their musical personality on imprints such as underground quality, finest hour, rue de plaisance, finale session and of course their own bass cadet records, the duo perfectly found how to combine their own style with the space atmosphere that surrounds meteorythm.

the evening wind carries the sound of distant music. raindrops running down the window like glistening pearls. those small moments, unimposing yet so intense and unforgettable. its this kind of moments that makes the sound of dolph stand out. the pounding heaviness of the kickdrum and the sharp smack of the clap might be omnipresent – but its not these rhythmic elements that make the magic happen. rather, its those small moments of understatement: dubby delays, whirling through the air like leaves. long filter modulations, morphing through the soundscape like wafts of fog. colourful harmonies, popping up like sudden flowers. a 10 inch vinyl comes with the mellow stimulation named free of thoughts as well as x, a collaboration by dolph and levolt.

pick a piper was conceived in 2008 along with band mates angus fraser and dan roberts, and following two eps, the band is set to release their debut self-titled debut album. the album is made up of eight very different songs, all with one thing in common: each is built upon the foundation of its own ingenious rhythm structure, with musical layers meticulously applied, up until the vocals, which are added right at the very end, if at all. song writing done back-to-front, which is also fitting in this case because: brad weber? isnt that...? yes indeed! brad is also the drummer for caribou.

with his debut album back to bedlam, elia vens presents the astonishing result of his musical rebirth. no doubt, he keeps the balance between underground techno and rhythmic house music with a dash of haunting melodies. the production time of one and a half years proofs his will to accurately establish a serious musical base and that he took his time to collaborate with several artists from divergent fields. the element of surprise runs like a golden thread through all tracks and eventually leaves behind the answer to the very question for the identity of elia vens.

ausgehend von einer großen liebe zu drone, shoegaze, post rock, frühen synthie-klängen und der ausufernden musik der 70er, wächst die klangwelt von conduits zu etwas größerem als der summe ihrer einzelteile: glockenartige gitarren, fließende drums, analoge synthesizer, progige basslinien und eine wunderschöne weibliche stimme, die stark genug ist, um in den wirbelnden soundlandschaften nicht verloren zu gehen. conduits aus omaha, nebraska, gründeten sich 2009 und bestehen aus mitgliedern von the good life, eagle seagull, son ambulance, neva dinova, cursive und the golden age.
der vinyl-lp liegt eine cd-kopie des albums bei.

sadly betty botox is no longer with us. she departed planet earth in 2010 and leaves a gaping hole amongst all those who knew her. she left behind a dat tape in her studio with the final ep written on the cover in lipstick, which her closest confidants feel she wanted to be her last statement to the world. so, after a slight delay, two years later, 4 tracks that were regular features in her musically wayward dj sets are now available for her to fans to hear and play. combining her love for psyche funk, cosmic synth, space rock and late 70s stadium rock these reworkings, remixes, refixes and reproductions of known and unknown tracks are sure to be hits on non-conservative dance floors everywhere.

on le rire ep jared wilson (7777 - skudge / detroit) leads the way with a pest chicago-house inspired rework, devilishly and deliciously analog without whittling down to a mere old-school homage, a sort of us-acid-dubstep version of addison groove, with a taste of slacker jak-beat for the nirvana generation! a melodic decomposer, scottish dam mantle (warp - ghostly international / glasgow) deceitfully feigns to mellow with what could at first glance seem like an edit. however deep excavations into the intense choir of >voyage vers l harmonie< leads to a surreal confrontation between a slum village like beat and a post-industrial version of melody nelson. thundery atmospheres, slippery slopes… the best way to pay tribute to luc marianni. famous for his duo as well as his label syncom data, nukubus (bunker / rotterdam) is nonetheless an inspired soloist, as this breathtaking remix once again proves. the 11 minutes long krautrock tunnel leaves many envious of its authenticity and sheer technical virtuosity. this swirling reinterpretation of mariannis work manages to leave the original behind and come into its own. its out of respect for the original work that nukubus requested to be credited only as a remixer. if youve bothered to read the few lines above, please remember it is both easier and wiser to form your own opinion with the vinyl in your own two hands. please note that the distribution of these eps will be accompanied by some very limited original editions of luc mariannis vinyls

semtek leaves the comfort of his excellent dont be afraid imprint to supply the third 12 inch on andy blake s in plain sight label, following stellar turns from youngtee and maarten van der vleuten. its not the first time blake has called on the london-based producers services - world unknown devotees will remember the monolithic >tacos for dinner< cut in association with chardonnay that appeared on that labels most recent 12 inch. >couer de lyon< is a chunky house jam of the highest order, shuffling hats, a stripped back bassline and a vocal many of you will recognise from one of mks most legendary remixes combine for a cut that overflows with sultry late night passion. flip over for some soundtracky house in the shape of >beaufort<, an analogue jam in the mould of legowelt that retains a club-ready potency and thus offers a more heads-down alternative to the a-side.

>dreams say, view, create, shadow leads< is the brand new album from dustin wong (founding member of ponytail and ecstatic sunshine), following on from his 2010 solo double album & dvd combo >infinite love<.

subversion: subversion was made by the dna strands of artist nick modern, featuring the vocals of inja, in a well kept secret scientific lab. this track has a pure venom snare that when it strikes leaves you powerless in its wake , face melting beats and a vocal that will make you spin and make you dizzy. snakecharmer: snake charmer, after walking in the desert for days , you begin to lose reality as the synth starts to build, it takes over your mind and starts mesmerizing you as you go on a journey into the space invader bass that keeps building and building until it blows you away. support by: dj nihal, kc, raskwane, cookie monsta, sunchase, radio1, rinse fm, get darker, demon, displaced paranormals, plastician, j da flex, hatcha, alley cat, sls

aardvarck returns with his third full length album for eat concrete records. anti concept showcases a taste for deep ambient and minimalstic soundscapes, dub, detroit techno and bass heavy beats, mixed into a perfect flow. as the title suggests anti concept leaves aside musical genres and focuses on atmosphere rather than style. on anti concept aardvarck carefully and patiently builds his own world of sound, adding layers and complexity with each track.tip!

in the primordial soup that is the space often referred to as 130bpm, there lies a lot of dull debris and dirty detritus. but amidst the scattered grey asteroids lies a small but glittering phuture-star, damu, the newest signing to bass station keysound recordings. whereas much that surrounds him is ordinary and unremarkable, damus quadrant is a glittering explosion of hypercolour and kinetic movement, emotive energy and playful pulsations. to enter into its proximity is, in the nicest possible way, to be irradiated by a kind of cosmic glow rays that leaves you fuzzy and warm. the source for this remarkable sound, developed over a relatively short period, is his infectious enthusiasm and unrelenting positivity.

tube10 returns with their 10th release already and their not mucking about! usas own don distal is stepping up with the ever epic >apple bottom< is it juke? no! is it house? no! is it dubstep? hell no! apple bottom is a hybrid tune is there ever was one ... this one smashes the dancefloor and leaves the crowd begging for more. with its juicy form and rave like edits its obvious that distal is no one day fly. with releases set for pinchs tectonic label and sindens grizzly you will know what to expect from this guy.
flip it over for >space graffiti< another piece of interstellar vandalism. this time distal shows what he is worth on a more dubby side. dont underestimate this one as this will pound any speaker system to bits with its firm deep bassline. let the tribal beats pick you up and put you down wherever you want to!

influenced by distorted electro sounds, to orchestral,jazz and blues pieces such as shostakovich and tom waits,he presents his first record,3 twisted and rocking tracks on archibell records.the first track right in the spotlight is >tokamak< a track with a dark kick and grind, featuring layered synths and vocal samples that break and drop with attitude.no time for intros this track hits hard and fast and leaves unexpectedly. next up is >g.i.g.a.s<, defined by its epic breaks, driving melody and sudden mood swing.perhaps the less sinister track out of the three, probably to give you a break for whats coming up next. unlike tokamak, nyxstarts with a slow baleful, classically influenced intro filled with suspense. eventually dropping into a deep atmospheric hard hitting groove. evil rhythm crafted with precise microsampling.

after leaving behind the somalian pirates, geiom is cruising the sunny waters of the indian ocean when he picks up a distress signal on his scanner. he follows the signal until he locates a tiny remote island and a guy called bowly, who said that he was on his way from france to the new world, but got totally lost. judging by the age of the map he was using its easy to see how. bowly spent his time on the island hanging out with the locals who amuse themselves by creating a unique style of music on some amazing handcrafted instruments. geiom helps bowly get on his way again, and leaves him with a more useful map. some months later, bowly beams over his music as a gift from his new found homeland in canada ? the tracks are like some strange mutation of those distant tropical players and the uk-based pirate radio transmissions that bowly has been tuning into ? geiom loves the result and decides to send them straight over to transition in london for mastering and release on berkane sol. this 12 has been getting played by selectors like ? subswara crew nyc (soul motive), brackles (rinsefm), grevious angel (soul jazz), martin kemp (blunted robots), cooly g (hyperdub), shortstuff (ramp), spamchop (wigflex), oneman (rinsefm)?

rotterdams finest house label comes with some amazing modern club jackers! under & soares deliver an epic house track called arabisch of 8.3 minutes that goes on and on and keeps the crowd focussed for every single beat. and hypnotic is also the word for the vivanco remix! more focus on percussion and a warmer groove, deep layers of sounds and samples of chanting vocals turn this into a peak time monster that leaves no one standing with their back against the wall! big with the reboot s & villalobos s. dont sleep!
