locked groove marks his return to hotflush with the grandiose, puzzlingly-titled >enigma<. its a colossal record whose bass-centric melody looms large. large enough, even, to inspire what is nowadays a rare scuba remix. a counterpoint to these theatrics comes in the way of wandering in a cage, a broken-beat creeper flaunting the belgians ear for subtlety, and two beatdown versions of the title track that fit neatly into your dj toolbox.

fish go deep return with a double header of intense electronic house music. over a muscular rhythm track, turning stones builds layer upon layer of melody before a jagged synth riff knocks the track into another orbit altogether. the dub takes a different path, with a steady rhythmic pulse that allows plenty of space for the music to soar.

jel ford kicks off his return ep with two tracks of clean big room techno. the title track backyard is a moody affair with a low drone throughout that is complimented with layered synth stabs. using reverb to create atmosphere within the track it subtly breaks down before a vocal hook transcends the track to deliver a killer blow. meeting of minds is dubbier and uses a tripped out synth to add rhythm whilst working alongside a synth pattern to keep the track chugging along. the slow evolving pads add texture and keep the track nicely filled out whilst this timeless classic keeps on giving.

dense & pika return to hotflush with their first original material since last year s smash, colt . meanwhile they issued a chart-topping remix of paul woolford s erotic discourse with a signature bombast that carries over into the present klank ep. six tracks leave plenty of room for variety, however, from the toecap shuffle of the eponymous lead track to bad ink s melodic grand designs, through slacker s binary jack and the pared-down house groove that is slowhand , not to mention the aquatic depths explored by wandering hands , we see dense & pika s muscles at full flex.

first release on sun cat recordings / ancient sound from outer space is by italian obscure electronic producer named healing force project, that means freedom of the soul. inspired by space jazz and experimental techno, antonio marini reconnects distant horizons until the sky falls away, sonorizing the last ancient astronaut landing on earth in five hypnotic tracks. mastered by andrea merlini and illustrated by fernanda veron, *last journey to heliopolis ep* pictures early dawns and aching nights, combining different analog and digital elements. a cosmic trip without return only makes sense if has no stops or boundaries.

trulz & robin akatrulz kvam & robin crafoord return with sol and the names pays tribute to the sound. a very strong deep detrot influenced transmatesque electronic house, forward optimistic / euphemistic sun come out track, on b prins thomas sets a slower but less warm pace and gives it a non less positive balearic twist before froskelar goes way back to the main 4 2 the floor.

outboxx return to brstl two years on from their first release on the label, tougher and more dance floor focused. although primarily known for deeper house sounds for labels such as futureboogie, they have never been afraid to experiment as exemplified on their debut lp for idle hands. here they turn their attention to deep techno, with two stripped back cuts that retain the warmth of their other productions. sequential circles drills down on a singular, angular riff whilst neatly deployed percusiion hits at just the right moments. moon loop whirls round on a deep spacey groove in keeping with its title. another strong release from the bristol focused brstl label.

in the universe, there are things that are known, and things that are unknown. and, in between, there are doors.
having honed a clear and uncompromising sound, which has been flexed across all manner of tempos, and return to electric deluxe with their first full body of work: a sonic contemplation of the cosmos, woven with all their industrial tropes in tact.

from the tropics comes whiskey disco, a sneaky re-edit label bent on dredging the decanter for diffident dancefloor genius from latent disco perpetrators. it is loosely connected to sleazy mcqueen and his assorted cohorts.
not one to overstate the obvious, the disco scene is fairly obsessed with the cosmos. whiskey disco #31, offers four more reasons to space dance! hristo sets course for the stars with x-otic love, an unhinged and epic ride from funky start to euphoric end. next up is enigmatic editor, satisfaction, love & passions edit, dance (dance, dance), a cut sent to us under the veil of night with no return address. for the return, we cruise towards home with detroits rising star, pontchartrain as he guides us through some lesser known italo-influenced, synth heavy and floor packing reworks, be my lover + dance with me.

the return on bosconi of the wonderkids from firenze sud, herva and dukwa (aka marco d aquino) as life s track, consists in a explosive blend of pure freestyle ghetto goodness!! four burning tracks dense of special effects, sound manipulations through tape distortions and pyrotechnic structures: a side starts with the funky builder it fell down, a full on, rough and raw ultra filtered disco house dancefloor anthem in the vein of a more warped and f**ked up bangalter or shake shakir, while on the second cut there s the aggressive and drunk ghetto blaster of come on, on b side instead you ll find the breathtaking groove from the driving acid techno bossa of -rescue me- and the electro breaks from lost cassettes of the melancholic and dreamy closing ep lullaby -sometimes theycome back-..

having blown the doors off with their r&s debut *containing a thousand*, lakker return with a devastating new single that concentrates and coalesces their sound to unprecedented new heights. their intricate, yet muscular soundscapes and skittering percussion have an epic, alien quality that set them head and shoulders above their less ambitious peers. having a background in punk, metal and broken beat as well as noise and techno helps give lakker their truly unique and uncompromising sound. currently touring their blistering live /av set across the planet and hard at work on their debut lp for r&s you will be hearing a lot more from lakker very soon.

kazak sees swaab return to wrong state, presenting one of his most direct and intense workouts to date, following recent releases on voltaire music, push-push, jesus was black and recovery tech. grunting bass drives along one of his typically stomping grooves, metallic atonal synths giving the track an icy cool. subtle dashes of infectious percussion increase the tracks energy, with a big atmospheric break allowing some hypnotic fx to take centre stage. it is a heady, dark ride that carries a lot of weight without ever overbearing.

a twenty year break away from making music is almost unheard of especially within electronic music circles, but that is where antenna happy finds himself with pinto. clocking in at 9.09 pinto draws from psychedelia and techno set straight for the sun. this kaleidoscopic sonic excursion has all the makings of a cult classic, and heads up the debut 12- release on newly founded imprint reinhardt records. taking lead on the b-side an entirely different affair in the shape of fallen. this is benchmark electronic music, as arpeggiators take flight mirrored against hypnotic acid bass, for a journey into the outer house territories. closing the ep, spark holds the reigns. conceived within the same stretch as pinto, however it wasn t until some months later that spark took on its full form. emotive modular synths lay the groundwork, connecting the dots between low-slung techno and house music, culminating in a track that sits in neither genre camp. spark will appear on the digital release only. the ep title track takes its name and inspiration from paintings by antenna happy s three-year-old daughter, whose birth inspired him to return to making music. close-ups of these paintings can be seen in the artwork for the release.

londoners kiwi and ashworth return to sneaky for a follow-up to dawn ep, the warm, dusty and at times experimental release, championed by the likes of daniel avery, eric duncan and tiefschwarz. the past few months have been busy for both halves of the duo, with kiwi signing to duke dumont s blase boys club and remixing for house music super-labels bpitch control and get physical, whilst ashworth has signed music to tomoki tamura s holic trax and needwant. second ep takes a new format, with two original tracks alaska and na am on the a-side, backed up by a nicholas & marcoradi remix of cux3 and ranacat s remix of zubr. alaska could be described as an amalgamation of the inspirations that lead to the first sneaky release, combining the pumping house beats of cux3, the comforting wurlitzer of zubr and the ethereal movie-soundtrack dusk. na am is something totally different, existing mainly as a collage of recorded and found sounds, avoiding the usual structure of house music in favour of something reminiscent of the weirder side of the chemical brothers. strange though the track may be, the climax would undoubtedly move a room full of pilled up ravers to a state of frenzy. the b-side remixes both hint to dance floors of the 90s, with nicholas and marcoradi making you wait and wait before dropping an unforgettable piano hook, whilst sneaky s ranacat lifts zubr out of context and into peak time territory.

mechanisms industries re-emerges from the tape studio to welcome the return of fanon flowers with 3 tracks of pure dark, gritty modern techno. lots of mechanical sequences for maximum peak time dance floor performance.
