the french producer is back with a new ep and starts his own label, rutilance! specially designed for the dancefloor, this release is a three deep house tracks, with powerful and melodic flavors.

originally produced in 1997, this ep from this chicago producer finally gets a proper release. here he drops four dirty, deep house tracks that are heavy on the samples, loose with the drums, and serious with the dancefloor action.

limited reissue of this incredible and highly sought-after futuristic 12 from 1981. released on west african music, a tiny label from the ivory coast, and finding a spiritual home on the italian eclectic cosmic scene, both tracks on this 12 are brilliantly innovative and exhibit a minimal techno-esque aesthetic way ahead of their time. side as closer is a chugging sinuous flow punctuated by jerking monotone vocals, horn stabs and synth arpeggios with a strong dancefloor sensibility. flip over for stunningly weird electronic percussion workout tam tam - a crazed sparse soundscape of strange falsetto tribal chants, funky hand claps and drums, synth wobbles, spasms and tweaks. mystery surrounds the identity of the elusive artist codek but evidence points to it being an offshoot project of french new wave producer john marieux.

azimuth ep showcases this producers fresh take on electronic music across a range of tempos. dmarc cantu remixes the eps most dancefloor-friendly track, azimuth, lending it a deeper and more brooding edge. alis is the new project from italo-bulgarian londoner, sabina plamenova (formerly subeena). this new pseudonym reflects a more personal and vocal-lead endeavour, in her own words, not just a music about music approach but also an outlet for her own personality. a big name for 2013 and beyond.

diamond version ist eine kollaboration zweier innovatoren moderner musik, byetone und alva noto. als führende köpfe des chemnitzer labels raster-noton und mit ihren solo-projekten alva noto (carsten nicolai) und byetone (olaf bender) arbeiten die beiden seit geraumer zeit an der grenze von intuitiver und konzeptueller kunst, einer verbindung von galerie und dancefloor. der dritte teil der ep-serie mit den titeln *turn on tomorrow / turn on tomorrow (version) & sense of urgency* beinhaltet drei tracks, in denen das auditive, das visuelle und das sloganhafte unmittelbar miteinander verschränkt ist. an der crispen, synthetischen oberfläche der songs spiegelt sich die brutale realität der slogans und macht deren bedrohlichen dystopischen gehalt - und ihre absurdität - sichtbar.

doubleheart, the collaborative project of two of scotlands longest serving creative individuals in electronic music - jd twitch (optimo espacio) and neil landstrumm. taking its name from title song *roots* - a sub heavy, tension building track that re-imagines jamaican dub poet michael smiths original from the seminal 1982 album ‘mi cyaan believe it - the ep as a whole works as an analogue exploration into the rawer side of dance music. working together allows these veteran producers to fuse their individual styles and musical sensibilities, combining landstrumms raw aesthetic and mastery of hardware manipulation with twitchs unrivalled knowledge of what makes a dancefloor tick. spawning from the depths of their imaginations and machines are 4 club-ready tracks brimming with anticipation and menace. although taking its inspiration from 80s electro and 90s acid & rave, the final result is far from a throwback to a halcyon, bygone era. instead, they have managed to carve out a distinctive sound the bleeps and bangs its way firmly into 2013.

following the first release on my lit label is from the quite brilliantly named, bebop & rocksteady. this might be a new name to some but the guys behind this project are lukes anger & ben mallott. after playing catalunya throughout the year i felt this tune needed to see a release, its just so f***ing good. its response on the dancefloor was devastating. anyone who has seen me dj recently would remember this one in my set, it gets a massive reaction once that drop comes in. i will still be playing this all year, a proper slice of good wonky techno. -addison groove

phoenix g. ferm and deep kickdrums that are being accompanied by lengthy chords and a frequently return male vocal that states, bounce. all and all this is the dancefloor music we are used to from mr.g. the a2 brings a more technoish vibe to dance to. this fits perfect in the modern trend of bass producers turning techno. while of course g is somewhat more of a legend and he didnt just turn to this type of music recently. it does proove that he is still abel to catch any kind of vibe to get the people moving. on the b1 we find a ben sims remix. which of course is enough said. mr sims turns the a2 original into an absolute floor wrecker.
