ample play records release a heavy duty collection of richard norris recent time and space machine mixes on double vinyl, including download code. a man of many guises, he has operated as a duo - as the grid with dave ball, as beyond the wizards sleeve with erol alkan - but when it is time for some solo sonic action, he records and remixes as the time and space machine. we find him at it here: *the way out sound from in*, reworking the most cosmic beat combos around into hitherto unheard psychedelic shapes. warpaint, jagwar ma, temples, psychemagik, the sufis and more fall into the time and space machine and come out the other side with wider grins and shinier eyes. it is the way out sound from in ... all aboard.

after storming the gates with his warmly received tambacounda ep, clap! clap! returns to deliver his debut longplayer. tayi bebba is a conceptual work that manages to balance a highly cerebral concept with making some good old-fashioned bangers. tayi bebba is an album tour of an imagined island, each song representing a location, event or ritual. sonically, it is a fast moving charge across the soundscape, fusing field recordings and found sound with incredibly surgical drum programming. flavours of house, footwork and hip hop punctuate your migration with a very specific sound palate, giving this amazing work a cohesive feel.

tiagos interzona 13 label has quietly gone about its business across three acclaimed and sold-out eps. his unique reputation as a dj is matched by the distinctive and unrivaled quality of his productions. for his fourth outing tiago treads an arguably more experimental path, and using sem titulo (untitled in portuguese) on three of the cuts here only adds to the mysterious nature of the sonic treats within. present, as always are the deft rhythm sections and powerful arrangements, as subtle elements of disco, techno & new wave provide the bedrock for his trademark off kilter melodies and soundscaping. the darker underbelly of club life may well be the inspiration, but the mood and execution are pure tiago! another beauty then from this outstanding, diverse and incomparable imprint.

providing a state-of-the-art rejuvenation of 90s ambient house, the heart ep (the first in a 2-part set of records) serves as a fluent example of the lighter side of greg scrases previously little-known, but masterfully honed craft – here paying homage to the past greats of electronica, drawing together different threads of influence and applying them to his own colourful sonic palette. the white 12 inch contains 3 exquisite original tracks that bubble and grow with a vibrant analogue charm, imbued with scrases house-ier tendencies and melodic capabilities - backed-up by a very special remix of *flyover* from like-minded acid aficionado dave monolith (under the moniker mnlth).

kosme compares his art to sailing, wandering from one island to the next in an incessant and utopian pursuit of sonic truth. like all explorers with merit, his voyage is driven by more than mere travel, it is driven by the simple pleasure of discovery. the encounters along the way have shaped and will continue to him and his art. it has become imperative to keep a log of these changes. cosmic ad is the logbook, an honest self portrayal of his musical evolution, without fabrication or pretense. too often electronic music is subjected to the damaging opinions of others and categorized in a movement or a trend, choking the freshness out of the sound. cosmic ad provides the platform for him to present his music to the public the way he wants to, when he wants to, his artistic adventure is out there for all who want to witness. a concise account of his creative energy, a unique platform for a unique artist who searches nothing except discovering new landscapes and inspiration.

bushwick17 is a project by costanza francavilla and alex infascelli. it is a 17 minutes improvisation session, recorded in bushwick on a summer afternoon - with no additional edits, mixing or efx. the idea is based on both artists s obsession with the number 17: the concept was to freely capture 17 minutes of their day together, without any thought before the act or any extra sound manipulation after the act. costanza placed 2 mics on the floor in the middle of the room - facing the wall - and played synthesizers while merging herself with dreamlike vocals into ambient floating textures. alex turned on a fan that was abandoned in the studio, placed the electric guitar in front of it, creating ethereal drones, and moving from guitars atmospheres to abruptly exploding yet sultry drums patterns. the result is an hypnotic sonic journey into an indefinite condition of space and time.

the central executives what can we say ? not much as it turns out - the generally very forthcoming golf channel crew are remaining tight-lipped about the architects of this, frankly mind-blowing debut long-player from this new nyc collective. a walk in the dark is exactly that, a situationist song-sheet & sonic chaperone to guide us through the back street escapism these troubled times demand. from gently over-driven punk funkin mascara stained hymns, to house that has been thoroughly smudged to the edges of its live music incorporating limits. sitting very comfortably, in a moment of stewed elevation alongside sound signature style machine jams, bare bones vocal led improvisations, discordant arthur russell moments & the distorted reflections of roots house that run to the very core of the big apple. a drop-jaw debut then, that wears its influences proudly, but takes them somewhere entirely new.

a new line (related) is the latest venture from lancashire-based andrew johnson (hood/remote viewer/moteer). utilising tools from the early days of home produced underground dance music (such as sk5 sampler keyboards and vintage drum machines) andrew has unearthed a beautiful album of downbeat, lamp-lit techno, industrial grade ambience and sonic experimentation which at times recalls early warp records, gescom and raw, 313 area beatdown house, as well as the more modern breed of electronic and techno travellers such as actress, mark fell (late period) and even theo parrish (the slow sound of your life).
