it has been a year since we last heard something from him, but in the meanwhile things have been sweltering beneath the surface. last we saw him, he vanished into a sculpture that bended the rules of our three dimensional reality. finally, here we are. being stuck inside a rusty hypercube trying to find your way out, crawling around the different tunnels all leading to new spaces that puzzle the mind. tangible, tactile shapes forming a comprehensive physical world without containing a discernible contour. flat pictures that once inspected transform into multidimensional spaces. the room fades into infinity, and all that’s left is an overdose of sensory stimulation. but dont worry. quince is here to help you find your way out. after an album on delsin, releases on music man, kompakts speicher series and his track europe on our somewhere compilation, quince is back after a short hiatus on something happening somewhere with a four track killer no filler ep that oozes character out of every sweaty pore. making the kind of records you still remember after an intense club night slowly comes to an end, quince presents a diverse pallet of sounds to choose from. rif provides perfect sturdy dance floor material with quince’s compelling groove trusting alongside splintered melodies and detroit influenced synth sounds producing a sense of undeniable optimism. b1s coitus shares a similar punch, combining raspy synth stabs with a detuned bell pad giving the feeling that youre sucked into a wormhole propelling you towards an unknown location.

rhythm büro is a new record label based out of kiev, ukraine started by dj and promoter igor glushko. the büro first began as a local party series organised by igor, alexander pavlenko (aka na nich, widely known in the drum’n’bass world as sunchase) and vera logdanidi (aka vero). since the party’s beginning in march 2015, rhythm büro has hosted such greats as zadig, abdulla rashim, etapp kyle, eric cloutier, woo york, artefakt, acronym, steve bicknell and actress all at different non-club warehouse-like locations around kiev. a peculiar aspect of the rhythm büro team’s objective has been to maintain secrecy about the exact location of the party until a day prior to the event, when ticket buyers are then informed about the location via text message or email. the label was started to be the logical and progressive extension to what rhythm büro has established itself to be locally: one of ukraine’s prominent techno initiatives. for the first release of the label, na nich and vero have contributed two joint-produced tracks that are to become their first publicly available material under their current aliases. while a1 leans itself to the soundscape that is more or less typical for rhythm büro parties: trippy, hypnotic and transportive techno, a2 hits the floor with refreshing zeal, bringing an electro-esque break-beat under deep and emotive synth layers. the b side contains two remixes of the title track, one of which is thoroughly tailored by the dutch-born-berlin-based-duo, artefakt (mostly known for their releases on delsin, prologue and field) as well as a strong and heady remix by semantica records’ mastermind, svreca.

modern love very rarely reaches out to artists outside of its immediate surroundings, it’s happened just a couple of times in the last 14 years. but there’s something about philippe hallais that compelled the label to ask him if he wanted to do something together. philippe has released music on a bunch of cool labels (l.i.e.s., the trilogy tapes, delsin, in paradisum), but hearing the first tracks recorded for lighthouse stories, it was obvious philippe was hitting on something new: a kinda weird slow/fast dance music that sounded like a footwork variant sewn up with an exotic production style that was impossible to pin down. these tracks eventually splintered off into different directions, held together by a strong sense of narrative and motion harking back to a teenage obsession with turntablism, detroit electro and ghetto house, and eventually juke and grime. although he’s spent the last few years focusing on more industrial dancefloor variants, for lighthouse stories philippe turned to these foundational influences, as well as his love of mixtapes and sound collages full of unfinished ideas, skits and experiments, all things that inform the flow of this new album. lighthouse stories captures a sense of nostalgia well, but is also a futuristic vision full of that exploratory, vibrant spirit that’s so hard to find in electronic music these days. frames of reference are hard, but in places it reminds us of the dusted swagger of anthony shake shakir, the acquatic drexciyan movements of ultradyne, a loose-limbed take on shangaan, and of actress at his most submerged. but ultimately, it’s an album made by a producer looking to his personal history while forging new ground, pushing ahead with little regard to convention and ultimately ending up with something completely unique: a kind of intimate journal rendered in bright colours and odd shapes.

nick lapien is back on bliq under his metropolis incarnation, with “solitude” is the latest effort by the berlin based producer. the title track yields a spiralling locked groove that’s complemented with moist vocoder lines in tandem with dreamy synth riffs, its refined remix version delivered by delsin’s d5 (formerly known as dimension 5).
the b side kicks in with the proto-kraut and catchy number that’s meant to heat up dancefloors “identify” while b2’s “the other life” delves into similar territory with a warm electro touch.

insula records presents their first release with the debut ep of cyspe (robin koek), half of the artefakt duo and known for releases on delsin and field records. it features three killer cuts. amnesia opens things up intense with sub-heavy layers of drums, synths and icy hi-hats all adding up to a steady and hypnotic groove. it is a cut that travels deep down the rabbit hole and takes you with it. transmission is then a soothing and blissful interlude with beautiful, floating chords all underpinned by a menacing bass line that grows loud and quiet as things unfold. lastly, passing is deep, spaced out and atmospheric with subtle pads and rolling drums that locks you into a perfectly endless groove. this is a varied ep that starts off what is sure to be an interesting new label.
