after travelling through the far flung galaxy for 002 ... forgotten corner aka phil banks & nick mackrory come back to planet earth & keep everything in house for their third label release. side a is kind of a track of two halves written and produced by nick mackrory - consisting of a 2 minute samba driven vocal intro, full of live instrumentation and featuring the live vocals of harry collier, before breaking down in to a deep hypnotic slow motion arpeggiated electronic groove! side b takes things back down in to the dark basements ... amongst the smoke machines, strobes & cans of warm red stripe! where phil adds his touch ... losing the live intro and taking things on a much more deep electronic instrumental bass wobble work out! still keeping the arpeggiated moog but with tougher beats and a much dirtier feel.

the third in the modular techno series from live analogue artist and freerotation organiser steevio. after 15 years of producing techno live on hardware, in 2009 steevio began building a dedicated machine on which he could totally improvise an entire techno performance from a blank canvas that far surpassed anything he could do with his previous setup of drum machines and synthesizers. steevio’s modular is 100 analogue, there is no computer involved, there are no memories to save sounds or sequencing patterns, and everything is improvised in real time.. volumes 1 and 2 of the series were just a taster of what was to come, and were the early experimentations on steevio’s newly built machine. steevio records everything he does, especially during the intense practice sessions for live gigs. all the music in the series are out-takes from these practice sessions, and the tracks from volume 3 and the forthcoming volume 4 all come from a three day period in practice for a recent live gig at delete, bournemouth, uk. volume 3 continues from where volume 2 left off but delivered with more confidence and a deeper more hypnotic feel. steevio continues to develop his skills and fine tunes his unique instrument in this dedicated for life project.

russian producer neotnas deliveres >slow & steady<, his first ep on soundtravels (st006). we have already introduced him on our first various artist ep >point of view part 1< (st005). typical for his sound is that warm, organic feel all over his house and dubtechno productions. very often accompanied by female vocals and its almost like you hear somebody play a live instrument if you listen carefully. the ep kicks off with the massive floorfiller >trunk party<. an energetic, solid built up track with that bassline killer hook. >user mood< has that typical basic channel touch. dubby techno guided by a floating bassline and little pleasant delays. we are slowly moving forward with evolving sticky, dubby beats in the title track >slow & steady<. this one will warm up every dancefloor, but is also very welcome in the afterhours. the last addition to this ep is >hold<, a warm deephouse track with moody, hopeful and sensitive sounds which reflect beautiful emotions. timeless material again which covers you up like a warm blanket. enjoy!
trackwork ep.no.2 is headed up by a super swingy acid tinged wigout multiculture - simple but deadly on the floor. next we have the stone-age-cave-rave of a billion years ago - a clash of de-tuned vox and live dub delay edits and to round side a off - feel it warps and mangles a classic paradise garage disco sample into some dark heads-down tracky gear.

after exploring over 6 hours worth of unreleased original material from the relentlessly prolific and ever expanding production catalog of will azada, cgi is extremely proud to present these 3 stand-out cuts that represent a depth of production skill and aesthetic range unparalleled in today’s over-saturated dance music landscape. confronting the clichés head-on, azada breathes new life into tried-and-true templates of jacking, industrial funk and synth-y groovers with his remarkable ear for arrangement and sense of movement, masterfully exploiting the infinitely renewable resource of subtle variations that he continuously unfolds throughout the tracks’ durations. the material runs the gamut from the stark, throbbing, industrial workout “the whip” to the melody-driven, synth-fueled ecstasy of “michalski’s theme” and the chord-driven, vocal-chopped house of “cliché.” the fact that an ep this unique and diverse can also feel so unified is a testament to the vision on display here.
