pfirter with an energy driven 5-tracker on andre kronerts odd even. pfiters lockstep drum patterns construct a hypnotic tale that reverberates with intense metallic synths into an expansive dark room sound with the endless ep. through my window starts with hollow syncopated bass driven by steady kicks. the low end and tight rhythm cause the synth pads to gasp for air in last breath. the repetitive chord stabs through the discordant ambiences while the percussion rumbles on with endless. certain is an expansive techno track that churns with machine-like precision. the chaotic synths and modulated metallic sounds hold ground with the hard kicks in release.

trackmaster dre ode to the traditional squelching acid melting listful old school beats with grandmaster acid. the record contains decelerated beats married with laidback, thick and bubbly bass. the title track starts off as a raw and elastic dance floor mover, with a chamfer like 303 bassline that smooths out rougher edges. blockhead deuce is a simplistic track with shuffling drums that play with an impish bassline that squawks and squelches. old school viscid synths and bass keep an aloof feel with the progression in 4th.
ltd repress - this new release draws inspiration from the human voice. much like the previous scott grooves -5 heartbeats- record. vocal house from a true detroit original
blaq numbers welcomes explorer of the humankind back to the stable with his latest work, -where did y’all go?-. combining lots of handmade drums & machines with hazy synths, he explored a new set of influences while writing and recording from 2018-2019. the four original compositions now find themselves on a brand new 12” backed by remixes from detroit’s byron the aquarius and larry houl. -where did y’all go?- expands on eoth s previously established house sound and brings in elements of bedroom pop, with lyrical content exploring the modern conundrum of maintaining relationships in the age of social media. not much is known about the lyon native, but his music has built him a keen worldwide following since his debut productions surfaced in 2017.

2020 repress! after a relatively long break jaffa surfa makes his return with a new release that is a bit more raw thus shifting the sound of tape hiss into the same direction. in comparison with his previous releases on labels like bosconi extra virgin, all inn records and houseworx he is making an effort to explore new territories with ‘psy lance ep’ while staying true to his trademark housey sound. considering all the musical styles that jaffa surfa is taking inspiration from (from the soul/funk/disco trio, through all shades of house music and all the way up to techno) it doesn’t come as a surprise to see him churning out productions in various styles even within one release. the rolling yet deep ‘psy lance’ complements the playful and trippy ‘bazz’ nicely just as the beatless dj-tool ‘preacha bonus’.
re-release! like no other project originating from that stylistic jungle that became known as the nineties, terranova has shown a strong focus besides genre definitions, with studio members fetisch and &me being true wanderers between worlds and times, holding 2012s dance floor in a tight choke. theres certainly a bassdrum beating in their chests, and even the elegic strings from question mark, that beautifully sung intro to terranovas latest album hotel amour, can barely hide a core made out of pure sweat and beats. remixes are from kink and adam port
following on from the repress of the auto ep, v-neck delve deep into their archives and give us 6 deep unreleased cuts. if you re into mid to late 90s mutant dub coming from the likes of kevin martins techno animal project, on-u sound and sabre s of paradise then this is for you. also nicely ties in with what labels like bokeh versions and artists like ossia are doing at the moment.
