its been 18 months since our first nang release, d-pulses >more<. nestled on that release was an extra ep track called >highway to saturn<. much to our delight it turned out to be a bit of a gem. when it featured on the tirk 02 and kitsune ponystep / jerry bouthier compilations we knew we were all onto something. (cue the overdrive and the interstellar vocal.) slovenian-based, us singer, hannah mancini, provides those cosmic vocals, ably recorded by sare havlicek in sunny ljubljan. after a sly re-titling of the track (to avoid confusion with the original the name has been extended to >on a highway to saturn<) its on to the obligatory over-the-top nang remix package...first up is a new version from d-pulse for those long summer nights. their >australian shore reversion< mix slows down the groove to a balmy evening by noosa shores pace. space-rock, guitar solos, smouldering synths and lazy rhythms all combine to make this one for the beach house. sare havlicek adds a couple of mixes of his own. keeping things hi-energy he goes for the disco jugular with his trademark stabby synths and tight production. nang newcomers, proper heat, strip things back and go for a slow-grooving baltic-disco chugger. rounding off the remix package is japanese based jan ken po (aka max essa). he delivers a dance floor friendly version with a big and bold walking bass riff and tasteful synths

top notch hybrid rhythm and blues with a rock edge

tahloulas >we play house< in a remix incarnation by chris lattner is at last ready for release after figuring in charts and steadily garnering hype for more than a year. louise marie tüxens charming lyrics are sung on a morphing and modern house beat while a devastating organ-stab pushes the track on endlessly. a classic new york bass-line injects head-nodding and foot-tapping while small vocal snippets and fills create a layered floor-destroyer. a tune that easily could – and nearly did - stand alone, but to the luck of the listeners more is in store for them. emil & chesper, allows us the joy of putting out >the nigerian hustle<. dark and funky with rolling basslines and shadowy percussion, this track is heavily rooted in both berlins minimalism and detroits groovyness.to top off the good fortune is james braun & ubebes >neotony< – a percussion-oriented tech-house track reminiscent of chicago, where banging toms and vintage 808 claps all merge together to form a shining synergy, while blue chords and floating strings engulfs the listener.

cessas third release on their missing link sounds imprint is another typical blend of styles that evades characterization. having recieved massivee support from the likes of mary anne hobbs, laurent garnier, sbtrkt, geiom, mr scruff, and top a & r man ross allen amongst others, cessa return with their strongest release to date. >recon< sounds like a blend of the best of good looking/ promised land-era d & b with more immediate 2 step/dubstep sensibilities that produces a great mix of rolling beats and a melodic soundscape. recon was given the sbtrkt treatment on an earlier mls release and returns here in its fine original form. >down & out< opens with an eerie acoustic double bass intro that descends into an upright synth-led floor filler, while still maintaining cessas love of restless arrangements and beat programming that strays away from the usual.

carte blanche (mehdi and riton) crank out a top-shelf banger, already getting big plays by tiga and brodinski. aeroplane slows down the tempo and glides the waterbed out onto the dancefloor. h.i.t.

two tracks taken from the turn the page lp. a side >release< - calming things down a little, >release< continues the tempo with a bouncing bass and booming sub to match as delicate synth stabs and vocal washes trickle over the top to make for a great cut as the lp journey picks up pace. aa side >the sleeper< is anything but with its rollin? bassline and stepping drums that smash any club when dropped. a sure-footed crowd pleaser that shows the guys getting seriously engrossed in some vintage d&b vibes.

a twinkle, a spark, and there you have it. many will say they saw it coming. at some point you could no longer ignore the signs, and actually youd suspected it all along: glamour is back in the club. berlin has become what new york was in 1981 and aÚrea negrot is the eartha kitt of the post-techno age. as part of hercules & love affair, perhaps the most enigmatic disco-ball band of the present day, the venezuelan disco diva has tackled issues of gender code through a four-four discourse and convinced the world that a slick performance under a strobe light can outdo than anything that has appeared in the light of day. now - as a taste of whats to come on her album next year - she is releasing her first ep on bpitch...

ikonika & optimum are proud to introduce their highly anticipated new venture: hum + buzz records. this double a side debut release is right at the centre of the current uk crossover, post-genre sound. first up, >aqueous cream< explores a different sound to the one ikonika delivered on her recent hyperdub debut album. a dancefloor ready track with smooth sub bass, staccato piano chords, trademark emotive synth-leads, underpinned by tough kicks, sizzling hi-hats and ricochet snares. on side aa, >ampersand< marks ikonika & optimums first official collaboration. layers of synth melodies float above a steady four/four pulse and unpredictable claps. an angular, broken, melodic march at a house tempo.

dmom continues where it stopped with the outstanding release by avex axiom and its remix from dustin zahn: more than solid, floor-shaking techno. this time we head towards some italian connection and we are happy to present a very promising new talent from italy, ralph mirto, who delivers a true masterpiece of minimalized, but powerful techno with his >path<. also >deaths head< hits it perfectly and the remixer for >path<, sasha carassi, needs no more introduction meanwhile. releasing on world famous labels like 8 sided dice, harthouse or weave shows where he plays: on top! what a remix, you will love it!

the third and final installment of spectral sounds document 12inch series offers four choice cuts from our era-defining, ryan elliott-curated label comp. kassem mosses remix of lawrences >divided< is a fiendishly tight slow-burner, fitting its ricky-ticky hi-hats and sharp-edged snares together like cogs in a swiss watch. the german producer twists parts around, testing various permutations, and rewards his patient listeners with a dusting of synthesized bliss at the end. heiroglyphic beings rust-flecked >got no place to go< traffics in humid ambience and smoggy gestures, evoking a post-apocalyptic dawn, distant bird calls and all. on the flip, spectral newcomer gadi mizrahis masterful >she only looks at you< hints at krautrock and tech-house while a thoughtful organ hums in the background, and kate simkos buoyant >zhivago< plays ping-pong with a bucket of electronic toms while a crowd-revving synth swell makes itself useful at just the right moment.
