diamond version craft music that is somehow simultaneously futuristic and archaic. on the surface, its static effervescence and mechanistic precision evoke the march of technology and the sinister detachment of late capitalist society. but it affects listeners on a more instinctive level, interfacing directly with the nervous system and rendering the polyphonic chatter of the bodys impulses crisp and cold. there is something oddly permanent about they rhythms they unearth, as though theyare simply tapping into a deeper pulse that has always been present within their circuitry. diamond version is a collaborative project between two of the most groundbreaking, experimental and forward thinking operators in modern music, olaf bender and carsten nicolai. as joint heads of the berlin-based label raster-noton and with solo projects alva noto (nicolai) and byetone (bender), for over a decade they have been releasing work that spectacularly blurs the lines between the visceral and the conceptual, bridging the gap between gallery and dancefloor. diamond version release the latest instalment in their series of eps leading up to an album in summer 2013.

as a prelude to the upcoming release of legendary technoist kirk degiorgios sambatek project, far our has brought together a globe trotting cabal of techno auteurs to remix selected tracks from the album delivering a straight up club kut 12 inch of pure sonic devilment. from detroit don rick wilhite, fresh face barcelonan duo nx-1 and londons mercurial post sub innovator spatial, these remixes take the sambatek template and filter it through the producers distorted visions of what carnival at berghain sounds like.

i had dinner with breach in london and he told me: hey, i have a track that is really dirtybird. i would put it out but its really sounding right for you guys. i took this with a grain of salt but then i heard lets get hot and i found out he was right. it has got the swagger and the sound. it makes girls grind their asses into boys crotches on the dancefloor. perfect. signed. so i then asked him to make something even more sexual, thinking it would be ages before i got something back. 10 days later the a-side came back to me as a 2 minute clip while i was on the train to warehouse project in manchester. i liked it so much that i edited it on the train to stretch it out to 5 minute. as expected, it slayed the room and the final version breach has delivered is one of the best records of the year in my opinion. with the simple title of jack you can see for yourself when you play it. this is the real deal. love, vonstroke

for our third release, we are joining forces with bristol stalwart - kowton - finding the link between two genres that are very close to our hearts - grime & techno. built as an ode to ruff sqwads raw 2 da core, kowton is able to build up and take down the rough and rugged aesthetic that is found within both genres in just over 5 minutes. on the flip, taking on the original is blawan and pariahs collaborative project - karenn (sheworksthelongnights). keeping true to the spirit of uk techno, they manage to translate the raw and grimey quality of the original through a heap of analogue gear, all in one take.

dalhous is the latest collaborative incarnation of marc dall and alex ander, who have previously released on blackest ever black as young hunting. the change of name reflects a new clarity and conviction to their work, and while certain sonic signatures, not to mention certain extra-musical influences (particularly the films of jack bond and jane arden), have carried over from their last project, they are handled here with a newfound sophistication and restraint. mitchell heisman marks the beginning of a new chapter in the precocious duos development, and heralds dalhouss debut album on blackest ever black in 2013.

miles has been releasing material on modern love for a decade, first as one half of pendle coven, then on his own as mlz, and eventually pairing up with sean canty to record as demdike stare. in between he has also pursued more experimental terrain under the suum cuique moniker, produced jungle for the hate project and (together with andy stott) taken on the occasional release as millie & andrea for modern love sublabel daphne. he is also an admired, exhilarating dj, his sets have been known to span a broad spectrum of electronic music, from the obscure uk techno of labels like radioactive lamb and irdial, to classic chicago house, detroit techno and - most importantly - early 90s jungle and breakbeat, feeding into his love of the most uncompromising end of the italian experimental movement, musique concrète, synthwave and contemporary noise.

demdike stare return to the lab with two extended new productions, inaugurating a series of untamed releases brought together under the testpressing banner. collision was recorded in late 2012 and is pretty much unlike anything you will have heard from demdike before, an intense high-frequency re-arrangement of jungle and noise, like a more brutal variant of the demdike-affiliated hate project, fed through a bank of analogue boxes and pedals, left to spin uncontrollably for 10 minutes before fading to black. misappropriation on the flip feeds off a different noise altogether, perched precariously between the mangled percussion you would most commonly associate with muslimgauze and the metallic clank of industry, a proper sunstroke riddim: angry and unforgiving.

after releasing two eps and utilising the broader canvas of their universally acclaimed debut album (sepalcure) to develop their collaborative project, the adroit drum-programming and production duo of sepalcure (travis stewart (machinedrum) and praveen sharma (braille/ praveen & benoit)) return after a year-long absence with make you, scheduled for release in april on their long-term home of hotflush recordings.

house of black lanterns is the brand new project from dylan richards, formerly known as king cannibal (ninja tune) and zilla (warp). retaining the earlier influence of dj krusts sprawling drum & bass soundscapes, house of black lanterns sees richards develop his sound to incorporate the dub-inflected techno textures of rhythm & sound whilst nodding to the catchy, yet occasionally bleak floorfillers of trax, all inspired by the modern noir visual style of michael mann.

the guys from audision are back with their next release in coloured vinyl! they produced chimes 1 for their live-set and it was much appreciated by the crowd. their new syntie roland jd 800 sounded crystal clear in their studio, but when they practiced for their live set in frankurt last year, all of a sudden it played a different sound … this was a magic moment which had to be recorded at once. the typcial audision device is: let the machines do the talking. and that is the also the story of chimes 2 *away* was the beatless track from their last years release up & away. so no one else but gez varley aka g-man created a dancefloor monster out of it. where can we start, when we talk about such a genius like gez varley. he was co-founder of the legendary lfo (warp records) duo. he wrote music history with his partner mark bell. under his solo project g-man, he released on labels like wir, i220, force inc or swim. *quo vadis* is still one of the most important all-time favourite techno tracks. last but not least a typical rough and deep house mix came out of christopher raus machines. the smallville member released on labels like, pampa, derive, aim, mule… and delivered a great track for this wonderful release. all in all - a must have!

boomchik is back with a 2nd release. si murray, one half of deep space orchestra, strikes out on his own with his other worlds project. solid basses and rattling percussion fuel an e.p. that gurgles with bright detroitesque finesse and variety that shifts between large almost basic channel feelings, to glitteringly precise house music. a five track release, full of floating pads and spacious reverbs take you directly to other worlds as lush strings and tight percussion patterns do exactly what they intend and trip you back to memories of warehouse days. murrays extremely tight production and musicality give this an edge that though reminiscent of the tones and feel of days gone by, has its feet firmly planted in the here and now.

enigmatic artists from eastern europe had a ace in their sleeve when they came out with the project of suburbs. they come up with the most mystical sound for their first ep on archipel under “plaeisii.” the strange classical texture swirl with a very lush rhythm that at first, appear to be extremely predictable but then, as you listen carefully, you get caught up on the most capturing pattern. the main song as well as amorf both are music for the soul and will be played in very special moment that will have people close their eyes to enjoy the shifting mood.
