multicast dynamics returns to astral industries for ai-26, this time collaborating with sid hille, the german born, finland based instrumentalist and composer. ‘metamorphosis’ transmutes both artists’ unique styles into a synergistic blend of transportive storytelling, a delicate dance of light and dark.divided into two parts, ’metamorphosis’ originates from a live performance recorded at temppeliaukio church in helsinki on march 2nd, 2019. the material was then edited, where hille’s soothing keyboard work and haunting passages on the theremin, combine with processed textures and desolate sonic backdrops from dijk. in this voyage beyond space and time, the subtle dialogue reveals new and perhaps unexpected dimensions in their creative arsenal, finding fresh new boundaries and enriching the palette of both performers. encounters of sweet fleeting moments of lyricism emerge amidst the chilling outback, in which we re given some final consolation between the long lines of cavernous rifts and deep space tundra.

prospector 01 presents the experimentations of pit spector, ark and losoul. sharing productions tricks and incorporating many different samples, instruments and hardware, brothers pit and ark create a highly distinctive piece with ‘song for everyone’. quite unlike anything in your current record bag and bursting with a plethora of flavours, this is one of those grooves you just can’t put in a box. ‘red sun’ is a mesmerising techno number. highly addictive and plagued with the voice of the terminator, it sucks you in and sends you spiralling back out. given the losoul treatment it reincarnates itself as the evil twin. darker and more minimal in form, it’s stark persona pushes the 3am dancefloor to the very edge.

limited white vinyl repress due to high demand on requests. on its second release, the fresh label eating records, native of brussels, embarks us on its most unlikely underground journey yet .the new project includes two beautiful tracks from the deep flows of house music, from the unfamous talented producer from kiev, io (mulen). there s no point in trying to place io or his music in some larger social picture. no need to talk about his intensive production. his successful releases can be found on imprints such as rejected (joris voorn), propaganda (nastia), elarum and his own mulen records which he started in 2012 and that released his stunning debut album within 2013. on flutes/creeps ep, he thrives on fantastic impossibilities including flutes and deep melodic basses. it is obvious that mister io had a wonderful time making the two tracks. flutes comes up as victorious and gallant. it is an energizing shock full of curious noises, mesmerizing musical surprises, a real dancefloor track. creeps is discreet and dark, and remains beautifully deep. this track finds io wrenching as much sweetness out of it as he possibly can, in return giving us our first indication that he is in a generous spirit. when this ep comes to an end, it feels like getting back from a good vacation: the last thing you want to do is re-enter the real world.

asc decided it was time to return to the music that he grew up on. with a gentle nudge from presha, the breakbeats were back in the mix and a slew of mid 90’s-inspired drum & bass ensued. the majority of the heavier break-oriented and edit-ladened were set aside for projects with samurai, however, there were a grip of tracks that were more at home with the older atmospheric / intelligent styles of drum & bass from the mid 90’s. ideasthesia is the culmination of that work. four tracks of atmospheric drum & bass in its most unadulterated form. no drum machines at work here, just sped up breakbeats, heavy 808 bass, blissful pads, and ethereal textures. ideasthesia is a true love letter to a golden age of music which sadly seems long forgotten.

repress! their initial 3 part series from a few years back became buy-on-sight homages to the raw, decadent & formative birth of club music. and while the first series concentrated on the darker, more electronic & mind bending side of nightlife, the x series works up an altogether more strobe-lit and full-tilt take on the glorious disco supernova from whence we all came.

we are more than happy to give you this outstanding two tracker, enjoy our snoe047! alec troniq is back on snoe with a monster release! his addictive grooves lay the foundation for the “rave liberation front ep”, and true to its name the release is ready to do some damage. the energetically vibrating and fierce track is a fury of driving groove and gritty synths that build up big momentum before exploding in an electric release. on this release we also welcome the one and only andre kronert to the family as he puts his hand on “repeople”. and what a remix he has made! a dystopian and roughed up techno banger takes the wheels, leading the listener into the dark and wild soundscape of mr. kronert.

.defaultbox is celebrating its catalogue no. 010 with a various artists ep full of love and dark energy. the label founder patrick brosin himself opens up with -1999-, a raw and reckless tribute to all those late nineties fashion sinners, while robert s (pt) takes it back to the future with his brain melting, bulletproof remix. next up is label co-owner barrel with -lirpa-, a rollercoaster ride inside an acid fish tank, spiced up by kegen hall with a little -pepper- to wake up lazy ravers. including label sticker and download code.

van abbes fresh no comment release presenting 2 originals, a killer remix by the exaltics and a debut track by pantone 32. it wasnt until she opened the old pocket watch – its timeworn silver surface glimmering slightly in the darkness – that she understood that something was terribly wrong. it was audibly pounding in her hand like some kind of bizarre metal heart. and it was decidedly running backwards. she could not move and she could not take her eyes off the spinning indicators. >stop<, she whispered. then again, louder this time: >stop!<. the watch stopped and fell silent. she exhaled and moved uneasily on the spot. the floorboards creaked. wait. the floorboards? there werent any floorboards in her room. it was all concrete and glass and…. her room wasnt there anymore. she was standing in an old workshop brimming with ancient-looking machinery covered in sawdust. no-one was operating the equipment but their ghostly echoes were still floating through the air, buzzing, hammering, humming – almost melodic to her ears. the pocket watch came to life in her hand, acting as a steady metronome to the spectral orchestra. she wasnt home anymore. but it certainly was.

the fourth release from london-based label eya continues to shape out an intriguing identity that nods to classic techno tropes while charging ahead with their own agenda. label boss jos -planet eya- sets a lively pace with its forthright drum machine jack offset by warm synth licks. evil knebel matches the tempo and weaves in a cosmic set of tones, which poten then cosigns with the equally trippy, propulsive -intransigence-. jos is back at the helm for closing track -purify-, which strikes a darker tone without losing that raw, vintage techno flavour that makes this label one to watch.

keysound recordings are excited to present three very unique cuts from scratcha dva x gage: “flytnurse,” “piffd” and “flytnurse (darqmix)”. dark, euphoric, weighty, and somewhat restless, they defy obvious categorisation. gage has made himself a formidable reputation by releasing some of the most forward-thinking darker dance music in the last three years, predominantly on the ever-quality crazy legs imprint. “telo” was a standout dancefloor moment, equal parts impactful and experimental, quickly followed up by the -mercury ep,- -2017 stay paro- and his banger-collab with kevin jz prodigy, -bad bitch.- scratcha dva first appeared on keysound 66 releases ago with the explosive dread grime anthem “bullet a go fly” featuring badness, riko, flowdan and killa p. but in truth he has a lengthy production back catalogue both before and after that 12”, with albums on hyperdub, his new “interludes” project and a track on the recent landmark kode9 & burial fabriclive 100

the blues roots grow surprisingly deep in the finnish music scene. from this fertile ground rises singer emilia sisco, who debuts on timmion with her phenomenal single -don t believe you like that-. with her strong background in fusing blues, r&b and jazz, emilia apparently slips also nicely into the dark soulful grooves of cold diamond & mink. in -don t believe you like that- emilia sets herself into the role of a mistreated lover, who still tries to see a speck of hope in the doomed relationship. by dubbing herself, and accompanying the lyric with graceful harmonies, she succeeds in building a powerful beat ballad, that should appeal to the darker end of the dance floor. there s a special lane in history for soul music this understated. it s cool and intimate at the same time, like there s something dangerous lurking under the surface. so roll up something nice, if that s your thing, and hop along for the ride.

in the late 80s i started listening to uk radio stations when i was a little kid and i instantly fell in love with the acid sound and rave movement that was portrayed on those uk dance shows. when i got old enough to attend clubs and warehouse raves, to experience the movement first hand, it was a nobrainer for me that the music and the lifestyle was my call. lately…. in my dj sets and when producing music… i have been time travelling back to those days. back to how i remember the music i fell so deeply in love with and that is exactly what you hear on this “done/undone” release. for the “done” track i teamed up with cari golden to have a female spoken word and a great message to build the music around. i always prefer to do original vocal recordings rather than using samples. cari understood 100% what i was after and i love the lyrics and execution by her. the spoken word is centered, very clear and deep to contrast the constantly building intensity of the acid patterns and thumping beats. “undone” is instrumental and has a more straight forward flow to it. it’s quite simple although the shifting groove patterns might surprise some. i was torn between two different acid patterns and decided to drop one of them as a surprise change. playing the track in clubs i quickly learned that the change of dynamics had a great effect. both tracks have been wrapped in dark-themed chords and atmosphere. both tracks have my take on the sound i fell in love with years ago and obviously still love today. i hope you like what you hear.

blondie’s 1980 album back on 180 gram vinyl with download code included.

i descend in this arduous water,
filthy by the deeds done
the light runs out at each movement,
the sound becomes gloomier, at each eyelash beat
and i try undaunted to find a handhold
in these putrid ropes that drag me inside
a condemned cave, where water gets lost,
with my orientation
the breath lacks, there is no time,
i fall more in dephts, looking for a sure moment.
i found even darker and stunned by the scare,
i’ve let that an even gloomier sound
flooded my body, stained in black.
